the matter stands now they are free to
place mortgage bonds upon their prop
erty without regard to It's cost. The only
difference that l see between q bond is
sued by the State and a railroad bond
is that the money to pay the State bond
is collected by taxation, while the money
to pay the railroad bond is levied By
the company upon the productions of the
country. The people must as surely pay
the one as the other. Therefore, they
have right to protect themselves with
law that will limit such indebtedness
to the actual cost Of the road either by
purchase or construction.
Kansas at the Omaha Exposition.
Two years ago bill was introduced
In the legislature to provide for the eX-
pense Of having Kansas represented at
the Omaha exposition. Owing to the
fact that the holding of this exposition
was not yet assured the legislature did
not make any provision for its represen-
tation Afterwards, when II became ap-
parent that the exposition would become
a great national affair, the State Board
Of Agriculture passed unanimous resOlu-
tions asking that Kansas be represented
The mayors and councils and many COM
mercial bodies in the State also asked
that steps should be taken to the end
that Kansas might be properly repre-
sented. AS ready money was essential 10
the success of the project I asked the
railroad companies of the State to guar
antee $4,000 OF such fund. Some of the
roads did not respond, but the AtchisOn,
Topeka Il Santa Fe gave $6,049. 40; the
Missouri Pacific gave $484350; the Chi
cagO, Rock Island & Pacific gave So 900;
the st. Louis & San Francisco gave $3.50,
making a total Of $14,54290 contributed
by the railroads Of Kansas. A number of
counties in the State an a good many
citizens contributed also, making the to-
tai amount contributed $31, ,073.9O. OF
this sum the commission has on hand
81, ,436.57, out of which expenses estimat-
ed at $1,000 must be paid, which would
leave balance ON hand of about $2,50G.
AS this exposition was Of great bene-
fit to all the people Of the State, and as
the railroads not contributing were bene-
fited as much as those who did, deem it
just that the legislature should reim-
burse all corporations, counties and per-
sons contributing to this fund, so that
the expense may fall eQuitably upon all
classes benefited, and recommend that
the legislature reimburse to the parties
so contributing all sums of money SO
paid. JOHN w. LEEDY,
Governor.
Topeka, Kans., December 21, 1898.
