State’s Deficit May Reach 5 Million By End Of Year - ■ ■ ■■ ■ ' ■ ........ ■ 1,1 N*. . ' GENERAL REDUCTION OF EXPENSES BEING PUT INTO EFFECT Revenues For The Past Three Years Were Ten Million Less Than Was Expected. North Carolina’s general fund de ficit at the end of the present fisca year, June 30, is expected to be $5, 708,378, of which $2,332,550 is thf amount by which the budget was noi balanced for the 1929-31 biennium and the balance of $3,373,828 is th< result of expending the full amount appropriated for the six months schoo term without curtailing the amount to the extent that the amounts appro priated to the State deparments and institutions were curtailed, it is shown in a statement issued by Governor O. Max Gardner, director of the budget, through Henry Burke, budget assist "The situation was realized in 1929 and plans were laid and have been ex ecuted to gradually reduce State ex penses,” the statement says. Reduc tions against appropriations amount to $3,561,200 for the two years of 1929 31 and $2,562,184 for the one year 1931-32, a total of $6,123,384, it is shown. The potential debit balance, or deficit, for the three years to June 30, 1932, is $11,829,762, while the actual deficit is expected to be $5, 706,378, ! the (difference $6,12:3,038 being the reductions in expenditures from the appropriations. "It is difficult to say now what can be done for the fiscal year 1932 33, but it is expected to reduce ex penses in even greater degree. Plans are being worked out to hold the deb it balance for 1932-3 3 to a maximum of $1,3 50,000—and if necessary on account of continuing distressing con ditions to hold the expenses within the income for the year,” the statement says. "It has been attempted to reduce expenses gradually and to preserve without serious impairment the ser vices and activities to the State gov ernment and to which the people are entitled. Under distressing and diffi cult conditions, this has been accomp lished up to this time.” Family Makes Trip In Covered Wagon Medford, Wis.—Traveling in a large covered wagon drawn by two ponies, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Parker and their four children arrived here after com pleting a 500-mile trip from Danville, 111.

Fountain filed notice of his entrance in the second primary for the demo cratic nomination as governor of North Carolina. Governor Fountain’s entrance fol lowed by a day that of Senator Cam eron Morrison who filed notice Tues day of his entrance into a second pri mary for the nomination of a United States senator. Thus the state will have two contests for major state offices in the second primary. The principle involved in this cam paign, Governor Fountain declared in a statement announcing his entrance in the gubernatorial race, is whether the control of the democratic party "shall pass into the hands of a power ful machine that bids fair to become a political juggernaut, dictating the selection of the peoples’ representatives and the policies of the party, and de priving the rank and file of democrat ic voters of North Carolina of a free and untrammeled choice in their se lection, or whether the party, in ac cordance with Jeffersonian principles, shall protect their interests against all influences of money and special priv ilege.” Governor Fountain called attention to the combined vote of 217,159 whl*afi he and A. J. Maxwell received in the first primary declaring: "It is thereby evident that a vast majority of democrats of North Carolina have already registered their opposition to machine control of the party and ex ecutive intereference.” MEANS SENTENCED 15 YEARS IN PEN Gaston B, Means, former depart ment of justice agent, stood again in the shadow of prison walls.

Proctor. Means stood with arms akimbo and a grin on his dimpled face as the jus tice censured him strongly for his "clever and adroit plan.” T.
