Stato Treasurer officials declare that tho decreaso of $3,141,519.91 In tho balance in tho Treasury at tho close of tho fiscal year of 1912, as compared with tho balanco at tho closo or 1911, was very easily ac counted for, becauso tho disburse ments under tho general appropria tion act woro heavier than tormerly, and in addition $G, 391,1.72.82. or $750,915.38 moro than In tho last fiscal year, was paid to schools. Tho highway construction also cost moro than beforo and tho charitable ap proprlations woro heavy, especially for now buildings. Attention was also called at tho Capitol to tho fact that tho $32.374, 890. 4G of revenue for this year was gross rovenuo and that from It had to bo doducted threo-fourths of tho personal propor ty tux. This tax amounted to $5, $30,507.4 G and three-quarters of It went back to tho counties where It originated. A further reason for tho decline of tho balanco as compared with tho same day in 1911 was the payment of $1,G2G,350 of bonded debt, which was cut down, to $G59, 1G0.02, This caused tho Blnklng fund to go down to $785,000.
