However , as our onnctment was contingent -

Whllo the new law was passed in

fect upon the state's financIal contll-
tlnn , With refereu'o to the sufficiency
of the state's Income urlng the comIng -
Ing blpl1nlum , I quote from the cUlTent
biennial report of Stale Auditor Weston -
ton :
"To the estimated' Income Crom the
levies of 1905-6 have been added a COll-
servnttve estimate of Income from bacl ,
taxes and a "er ) ' conslderablo amount
derived from 111lscellaneolls sources ,

I'rom ; the aboyo It Is apparent that
it the present legislature holds Its al1-
proprlntlons within reasouable bounds
the receIpts of the comIng biennIum
will exceed the exr-endltures by $278.-

In Nl'braslm for many years ,

malte clear that the strictest economy I
consistent with the public weal sheuld

infiuences which ought not to exist
nnd which' certaInly ought not to be
tolerated within the halls , cloalt rooms
or otJIces of any deliberative body
which has power over the destinies of
