BUSINESS HIT HARD STATE LEGISLATORS QUIT GOOD ENACTMENTS BUT BUDGET IS UNBALANCED By R. B. Atwood, President of the K. N. E. A. Frankfort, Ky., March 21--The regular session of the 1934 Kentucky General Assembly came to a close Thursday night, March 13, with some good enactments to its credit, but with no balanced budget. Laws were passed then reduced the State's income 3 1 2 million dollars which added to the shortage of the proposed budget left 5 million dollars to be raised. Putting these facts into terms so that all can understand, it means that there might be sufficient money to take care of the Departments of the State Government at Frankfort and maintain institutions under the Welfare Board and no others. The Departments That Would Suffer The courts of the State could not function as the million and a quarter dollars which they need would not be forthcoming. The circuit judges, the Commonwealth attorneys and the judges cannot be paid. No interest can be paid on the outstanding State war rants and the price which is now in the neighborhood of 92 would possible go to about 50. The per capita for school purposes which was $7.00 for the present year would be reduced to $2.81. The Public Schools in probably half the occasions would be reduced to four-month sessions. Teachers' salaries have been in the neighborhood of $30.00 a month will still be further reduced to those teaching in rural areas. The $700,000 appropriated by the legislature for teachers' back salaries could ont be paid as there would be no funds with which to pay for it. There would not be a dollar for relief to aid unemployed and the unfortunate. The public health service of the State could not continue. All institutions of higher learning maintained by the State would have to close their doors as they would have no income to carry on their work.This, briefly is the situation that now faces the people of the State of Kentucky, Boh houses of the General Assembly (Continued on page 4)
