VINDICATED BY CENSUS FIGURES Report Shows Cleanest Financial Record of Any State in Whole Union SINKING FUND EXCEEDS DEBT Much Better Showing in New York Where Democrats Were Often in Control Sptcicl to The Telegraph Washington, D. C., March 2.—That Republican rule in Pennsylvania has resulted in an economical administra tion of the affairs of the State is shown by preliminary figures from tho forth coming bulletin pertaining to national and State indebtedness and funds and investments given out by Director W.J. Harris, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, to-day. The bulletin contains information for the country as a whole and for each in dividual State. The figures are complete from 1890 to 1913 and show that in Pennsylva nia, where Republican Governors have almost invariably held ottice, the sink ing fund assets exceed the total debt, while in contrast New York, ruled fre quently by Democratic administra tions, has an outstanding Indebtedness which is equal to 25 per cent, of the total indebtedness of the entire forty eight States. Pennsylvania's Clean Record Pennsylvania, notable as the great est Republican State in the Union, has the cleanest record financially, accord ing to the census figures. The an nouncement is of special interest at this time because of the economy issue in the gubernatorial campaign which is now being waged in Pennsylvania. An inspection of the tables in the bulletin soon to be issued shows that on June 30, 1913,-or the close of the fiscal year falling within the twelve months preceding the date, the total debt of the forty-eight States In the United States amounted to $419,157,- 000. Of this total about $19,000,000 represented floating debt, and nearly $400,000,000 represented fund debt. Of the funded debt about $359,000,000 are represented by bonds and $41,000,- 000 are special debt obligations to pub lic trust funds. As an offsetting item against the total debt, the forty-eight States re ported $77,032,000 in sinking fund as sets, leaving the debt (less staking J Continued on Page 10 J WHILE NORTH SHIVERS THOUSANDS BUSK OH FLORIDA COAST LII Great Vigor and Initiative Is Being Shown by Southern Cities (By Special Correspondence) Miami, Biscagne Bay, Florida, Feb. 29. —While the North is shlevring In one of the worst blizzards of the win ter a large representation of comfort able exiles are enjoying themselves thoroughly in the coast resorts of Florida.
