Finance Within certain limitations neces- sarily inherent in & corporation charged with governmental func- tions, there seems no reason why a state may not, to its advantage, avail itselt of many of the modern meth. ods of finance which are approved by the- best business practice and experience. Balancing the Budget Two years ago the legislature, upon recommendation of the gover- nor, accepted this principle in the adoption of a sound flscal policy which experience seems to have amply justified. You will recall that this fiscal policy invelved a program of appropriations estimated and lim- ited in advence, upon-the basis of expected income. This process, one of the most elementary in private enterprises, Is known {n business terminology as ‘balancing the bud- get’ It mean that the state ex- pends or appropriates no more than may be reasonably expected to ac- crue in the way of income, as this reasonable expectation is estimated by the board of finan~e. It is a sound, economic principle to pay as you go. Such a principle means that the legislaturé may make appropriations for proper purposes, with confidence that the money will be available to meet such appropria- tions. On the other hand, it imports that any extravagant suggestions fall of their own welght, by reason of the limitations of the budget. The worth of such a program, to | my mind, needs no further demon- stration. I believe that this year the principle should be carried out to its logical conclusion. We all know that the estimates of the board of finance are subject to a considerable varia- tion, dependent, not only upon con- dltions of general prosperity, but upon may unforeseeabls conditions. Inheritance taxes, for instance, pre- sent large differences, dependent upon the value of estates subject to ation. Income from public utili- ties is dependent upon operations ‘and values beyond the control of the state. Taxes based upon stock values ay vary widely for causes non-exis- tent at the time of the original esti- mate. A combination of many factors may operate to produce, in certain | ars, an income largely in excess of | the estimate. In other years, the in- | come may fall so far short of tho estimate as to be productive of em- barrassment in the administration of the state’s affairs. stablishment of Reserve Fund A “pay-as-you-go” policy, to be complete, should provide, so far as possible, agalnst any deficit, even at times, where, for any reoson, the in- come of the state is substantially below the expectations of the bud- get. Such a sltuation s met, in pri- vate business, by placing the surplus of more prosperous years in a re- serve fund, available under proper restrictions, to meet the deficits or an emergency situation which a lean year may present. The situation with the state impresses me as sufficiently analogous so that a similar policy is to be desired. I doubt whether this could be ac- complished without further legisla- tion. I therefore urge the passage of such legislation providing for a re- serve under the conditions indicated. which reserve shall be under th> control of the governor and board of cohtrol, to be drawn upon by them when necessary to meet existing appropriations and subject to such other limitations as modern business usage would suggest. There is no act of my administra- tion which 1 shall view with more pride and satisfaction than the con- tinuance and extension of a fiscal policy along the lines 1 have out- lined. The result of our beginnings two years ago has been eminently satisfactory. The policy has not only received the approval of economic experts, but has been imitated by legislation in various other states. T earnestly urge that there be no de- parture from it in the present ses- sion, Capital Expenditures Along the same lines, also, I recommend that in making appio- priations for capital expenditures, the legislature bear in mind that any such expenditure carries with it an absolute requirement for sufficient | revenue for maintenance and operat- ing expenses. The results of all such expenditures should be carefully in- quired into, and if the capital so in- vested is not self-maintaining, a per- manent source of revenue should be provided to meet such expense, It s not sound policy to increase the capital resources of the state unless 563 Main St. at the same time the legislature pro- vides revénue sufficient to insure the upkeep of such capital and to pre- serve its usefulness. Annual Balance Sheet One further detall. It occurs to me that the state auditors or state comptroller may properly be charg- ed with the issuance of an annual balance sheet showing the completo financial condition of the entire state government. At present, only depart- mental halances are available. These should be collected and presented as a whole, with such comparative figures as will fairly inform the tax (Continued on Page Five) AVOID DIZZY SPELLS Nover well. Always tired and fag- ged out.
