Municipal expenditures may not exceed the budget without subjecting the eity commissioners to certain lia bilities.

Deficits may not he incurred trusting to remedial legislation which will have the effect of adding the amounts thereof to tbJb(.city's bonded indebtedness. ' Whsl Of II? "W'ell, what of It? Just this in a nutshell. The eity of Rtlleigh, as well as other eirtrs and towns, Is functioning as to its Income under the Revaluation Act of lflin. The effect of this act is to deprive the city of the income that should have been derived from the na tural incresse of property values and from accretions resulting from exten sion of . the city limit. It preierirms restrictions previously unknown in the taxing powers of the city government. It fails lo take notice of the Increase in the city's population nnd wealth or of the demands of the public for en larged municipal service. "In consequence of the limitations which the Revaluation Act imposes the city administration of Raleigh is face to face with the fact tbiit its estimated income is approximately two thirds of the amoiin necessary to carry on its municipal operations. What are the city commissioner! going to do nliout it f Since the relief that was expected from nn early session of the legislature has been denied there is only one thing to I.i not eipenses to the linile. Where Cutting Begins ''Naturally the cutting process must Will the Brieg B Six days a week, from January until June 29, Republican tariff -makers labor on a bill intended to ''become the Magna Carta for the perpetuation of our American standard of living and to be the con stitution of a uniform and universal prosperity," only to be informed by one of the most influential and regular Republican dailies of New England, that if their bill were to be made law now "we should probably find ourselves on the edge of a deeper plun ge into public and private adversity than we have yet taken." Democratic critics concentrate upon the effect which they think the tariff schedules pro posed by Mr. Fordney would have on the consumer. They are "extortions." says one; they "will victimize the; consumer," declares another. "Vicious," "monstrous," "indefensible" are other charac terisations coming from papers which dislike a protective tariff on general principles. On the other hand, the chairman of the committee that drafted the bill modestly disavows having produced a pana cea for all national ills, yet ventures to "predict with great confidence that its effect upon American in dustry and American labor will be entirely beneficial.'' For a full account of the tariff fight that "is raging in Congress arid in the public "press, don't "miss reading the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week, July 1 6th.

"In cutting expenses to fit the city's income it will be necessary to use the knife on, other subjects; but the whole matter will, be carefully considered In order to work out a scheme that will give the best results with the least in convenience to the public, "As to the connection between the foreginjr and the date of the extra session a word of explanation looms necessary in addition to what has al ready been said. Had the legleUiturf been called ty convene in August, ns city officials were led t'.espoct, legisla tion could have been enacted in time to admit of levying a sufficient tax rnto for the rurrrnt year, and the needs of the city could have been provided for without going into debt, incurring a deficit, or leaving a bad taste tn the public month. No Open Door To Bonded Debt. "It occurs to me that the question may bo aeke why the city cannot get along ns well in 1!21 as it did In 1920. The explanation is simpln. In the fiscal year 1920-1M1 the city was 0ierating under spoeial legislation which wna supposed to be u relief measure. The net imposed restrictions on the taxing power nf the city, but it eipresslv provided for funding a deficit which the legislature regarded as in ovitnble. In other words, the legislature Many Not el Illustrations and Reproductions of Humorous Cartoons July l(5th Number on Sale Today-Newsdealers 10 Cents-RCX) a Year, g opened ft doog leadin. to increased bonded debt aad invited the city-to enter H r ty oat of doors.
