STATE CAN PAY ALL OF ITS BILLS Must Not Lay More Taxes to Do It Is Statement of Auditor General Pennsylvania can pay all of its bills and it docs not need to increase its revenues or to lay any more taxes to do It is the statement made by Auditor General A. W. Powell In a statement made here late to-day on the finances of the State. Mr. Powell says that If one studies the government of the State it will be seen that there is no need for new rexenue, but necessity of reducing expenses. Mr. Powell's statement, which shows the present condition of the State finances, declares as well that Pennsylvania Is in better financial shape than apy other State and that this month there was a big jump in cash and that the State could to-day pay all evidences of debt and all bills. The statement is the first to be made by the auditor general since his return from the border and Is as follows: "Revenue does not need to he in creased. Expenditures need to be re duced. Everybody seems to have for gotten that the people pay the taxes, no matter from whom they are first collected. The cost of government has risen from $1.97 per capita in 1850 to $4.54 per capita in 1915. "The government of the State col lected from the people as its revenue for the year 1850, $4,438,131.51 and for the year 1915, $31,990,727.85. We estimate the revenue for 1916 will be $32,000,000. This estimate is based upon the fact that the total revenue settlements to the treasury from this department to September 28, 1916, were $25,080,707.05, of which $5,- 449,618.61 are yet in their hands un acted upon, and the revenue from fees of office, various departmental re ceipts, collateral inheritance tax, etc., will likely bring the total revenue to the figure above estimated, which ap proximates the average for the past ten years notwithstanding the fact that the personal property tax, amounting to over $5,000,000 a year, has been made the subject of local revenue and does not appear in the receipts for 1915 nor the estimate for 1916. "At the close of business on Sep tember 1. when I returned from the border, there was a balance of $847,- 284.68 in the general fund; notwith standing the fact that we have paid out during the month $2,261,916.50 the net balance in the general fund at the close of business to-day is sl.- 544.723.55. "The State is not only solvent, but amply able to pay all of its uncon ditional liabilities. It has no bonds outstanding and no certificates of in debtedness which are not covered to their full face value by cash in the sinking fund and hafe ample money to pay all of its bills, if we disregard those conditional ones created out of its generosity to private charities. "I have opportunity to examine the reports if controllers and auditors general of other States and I do not hesitate to say that the Common wealth of Pennsylvania is in better financial condition than any other State in the union."

HUSBAND HELD FOR KILLING WIFE f Continued from First I'a*e] ceal the crime had first shot her, strangled her and boat her over the head. This statement made af ter the discovery of a bullet in the woman's head and the finding in the ruins of a revolver of similar caliber. Cord Circles Neck The head of Mrs. Small, which was saved from the flames through falling into a pool of water, is being held by the medical authorities. The neck is still circled by a knotted cord, the skull crushod from seven blows and the trace of a bullet wound Is clear, according to Home. The bullet was removed and found to be of size cor resjJondlng to that used in an auto matic revolver found In the debris. In the opinion of officials the woman was first shot, then beaten and sub sequently strangled perhaps to stifle her cries. As yet they have found no evidence, they say, to support the statement of a spectator at the fire that he saw the body through the flames apparently, partly suspended by a rope from the head of a bed. At the Inquest Dr. E. W. Hogsdon, who performed the autopsy, gave his opinion that death was caused by strangulation. To a question by James Tuttle whether Small had said anything con cerning his wife's death, High Sher iff Chandler stated that the husband, on his return yesterday from Boston, said Mrs. Small had gone to the door to bid him good-by when he was leaving home on Thursday. Small left her at 4 o'clock that afternoon and the fire was discovered about ten o'clock at night. Both England and Germany Return to Normal Time London, Sept. 30. The "summer time" calendar closes to-day, the last day on which the clocks will regis ter time an hour ahead of the stand ard. Greenwich time will be restor ed at 3 o'clock to-morrow morning. The daylight saving plan introduc ed last Spring by an act of Parlia ment is generally considered to have proved a success, even the farmers who at first objected to it having be come reconciled to the innovation. However the government has appoint ed a committee to consider the social and economic results, report whether it is advisable to repeat the experi ment', what modifications if any, should be Introduced and the time it should remain operative. Berlin, Sept. 29, via London, Sept. 30. Germany will return to normal time Saturday at midnight when all time pieces in the country will be moved back one hour.
