explicit. and sst that, while We are in f.
vor Of keeping up and sustaining schools
and benevolent institutions. those Of Kan.
sss have been 90 managed - to become
. permanent ''gouse" upon the people.
We will give our reasons.
lst. C!pisal Building. Two years ego.
. heavy appropriation wss made for CON-
nsncing this building. A seasons work
wss put upon it. and when Winter came.
the frost about ruined the whole Of it, 80
that It had to be taken down tbs NEXT
Spring. That appropriation was squau-
drsd. The next Winter. . still heavier
appropriation was made. and Com nit.
tee appointed BY the Legislature. to watch
It. That Committee saw, alter more
money bad been expended. that the next
Winter would show another failure; 90
the contractors were ousted. and now ones
employed. TIE work may be going on
we'll enough now, but at least si00, 900
Of the peoples money has been ,qu.ndsr.
ed and sunk in experiments. Whats
that. bat swindle? as
ID. Psnisensiary. Heavy sppfopris-
tions have been msds for this concern.
Commissioners were appointed and paid
to locate it. which WAS done. The site
vss not satisfactory. 90 another commits
sion and smother location was paid for.
Still It vas not satisfactory. and the Gov.
srnor recommended another location; but
it did not win. One ysar's heavy appro-
pristion was spent. and nothing to show
for it. The appropriations have been
growing heavier every year. and so have
the expenses. although the convicts are
put ont to labor at high wages. Even
now another frs1d is reported. snd Leg
islativs Committes has been appointed
to investigate it. We are decidedly OF
the opinion thst the concern has been Q
big swindls. .-
Sd. Agricultural College. When this
institution was locst ted. there was spirited
competition between different points.
Manhattan put in her claim. as being To-
Gated 10 the region Of the lands selected
for the support Of the college. and because
it would be the cheapest and best place.
She secured it. and year after year came
in for her appropriations ont of the State
treasury to ruu the college. although Gov
ernmsnt had made . heavy doustion of
lands for the purpose. 1t was claimed
that the college must bs sustained until
the lands could be put into market. 1t
msy be that this institution now supports
itself from tbs sale Of it's lsud.; but the
State has not been and will not be paid
back the money which was raised BY tag
. upon the people. We call that de-
cidsd gouge.
Al. State Uniuersity There was an.
other big eight for this institution. RON.
ing through several years. Lswrencs at
|sngth got it. upon giving bond TO donsts
. certain smount Of land without expense
% the State. and representing that be-
lussts and sndowments already secured
would set it in operation and keep it going
She got it; but the very next Winter, the
Legislature was asked to release her from
Ter bond. on account Of her misfortune
o the Qusutrel raid; and every year
ince. she hes been asking and receiving
srge appropriations from the State to
AIRY on the University. Is that swiu-
lie, or not?
