FOOD Wasted IN 0REAr ITIEs
Enough 10 Feed Their Hungry Children
Salvation Army'a Work.


The problem OF utilizing the waste food Of
the great city OF New York for the benefit OF
the poor. which President GugRenheimer Is
trying to solve. is one that has given Gen. Will
lian Booth OF the Salvation Army much
thought, The Salvation Army has only reached
an approximate success In the work laid out
Tor It's salvage brigade to do.
some ofthe waste food OF New York. and. In
fact, OF most other large cities. is gathered up
by the agents OF the Little Sisters OF the Poor.
Some OF the high-priced hotels and restaurants
sell food that is clean and wholesome to
hotels and restaurants which cater to a less
fastidious class OF patrons. but still Col. HolZ,
who has charge OF this branch Of the work done
by the salvation Army, estimAte that from the
tables OF the well-to-do and the wealthy there
Is probably enough wholesome food thrown
Into the garbage can and carted OF by the Street
Cleaning, Department TO feed every hungry
child In the slums.
For lack OF funds the Salvation Army does
not attempt 10 do much in the way Of utilizing
tion TO waste paper. bottles. old furniture. and
clothes. There are three stations at which the
officers OF the salvage brigade can be found in
New York and one IN Brooklyn. The old shoes.
clothes, and furniture are. whenever this 10
possible. cleaned, disinfected, and repaired.
They are then sold Mt a merely nominal price
10 some one who needs them. or In cases OF e1-
treme need the things are given away: but the
Army always prefers to give work rather than
money. The old bottles are sorted and sold /:
the waste paper Is also sold 10 the paper mills.
The sorting. cleaning, and distributing OF this
junk give employment to Idle men.

Doesn't it look rather odd to see a

cial laws.
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1898-10-14

The republican press OF the state
has objected to the manner in which
Governor Leedy spent his contingent
fund, the Objectionable point being
the $4,000 paid David Martin and
David Overmeyer for their assistance
in the insurance cases against McNall
In the federal courts, and in the stock
yards, scrip and screen cases. 1t is
true that governor Leedy spent the
also true that governor Morrill, spent
his; the difference being that COVER
nor Leedy spent his to enforce the
law, while Morrill, spent his to unseat
populists whose terms had not ex-
pired in order that some republicans
might have their places. Morrill,
used So, 269 from his contingent fund
to get ex-senator Rodgers, a regent
of the University, out of office in order
that j. X. BurtOns law partner might
have that place, little 300 per
annum job. This together with 9th
err amounts spent in the same
manner, exhausted his fund and he
was compelled to ask the legislature
for anapprOpriation of $4,000 to pay
the costs in the Rodgers case.
Morrill, paid $2,O2S out of his con-
tingenJ fund to secure the removal
of senator Householder from the
state Board of Charities and had to
call upon the legislature again for a
deficiency appropriation OF $50.
1t will be seen from this showing

THE STOCK YARDS AND SCHOOL
BOOK LAW. ;
The story of the stock yards and
school book law have been told in
detail and it is useless to repeat it
here. The most powerful lobby that
ever attended a Kansas legislature
was on hand to prevent the passage
OF these two important acts. The
cooperation of the Republican mi
nOrity in each house was assured
from the start and every effort was
made to corrupt enough POpulist
members to make the Republican mi
nority q majority, but they failed ut
terly and the people of Kansas today
are reaping the benefits of these
wholesome POpulist measures.
LEGISLATIVE
A favorite charge which is being
continually reiterated, by the Repub-
lican press is that the legislature was
extravaganza, that the legislative
halls were filled with horde of I'M
necessary employees, and that public
money was. recklessiy sQuandered.
The facts are shown by the state
auditors books. There record of
the money drawn and the names of
the persons who drew it can be found
These records show that in 1895 the
Republican legislature had 335 en-
ployees, 204 of whom were on the
house payroll and 131 on that of the
senate. In 1897, with both houses
controlled by Populists, the house
payroll contained 112 names, and
the senate's SO, making total of 200,
which was 135 less than in 1895.
If the legislature of 1897 had a lot
OF useless employees, what about the
Republican army Of employees in
1895?
Now, as to the actual money paid
out at each session. In 1895, the
total payments of legislative ex-
penses were $50, 229. AZ; while in 1897,
$4,000. 10 was paid out. When
figures on legislative expenditures
are made tt should be borne in mind
that the salary and mileage of men,
berS is fixed by constitutional enact
ment, and is therefore "a matter over
which the members have no control.
II the amounts paid for this purpose
are deducted, the remainder will
show the amount expended over
which the legislature did have direct
control. No compilation of the
amounts drawn for salary and mile
age by members OF the 1897 legisla-
ture has yet been made, but in 1895
the amount drawn for this purpose
was $36,327. The number of mem
bers and of the district remain I'M
changed from year to year, so that
the salary and mileage account can
not vary much. 1t is reasonable to
assume that the 1895 figures are q
fair average. Deducting $36, 1927 from
$50, 292.47 it appears that in 1895 49,
965.17 was expended over which the
members had control. The deduc-
ton of the same amount from
$72,O29.1O shows that in 1897 the
amount was $35, 7O1.SO
The 1895 legislature (Republican),
which was in session 60 days, cost
1882. rs per day, while the 1897 legis-
lature (Populist), which continued
for ga days, cost $557.S4 per day,
showing an actual saving of $274.91
for each and every day of the session.
In the matter OF daily expense, the
POpulist cost was a few cents less
than 81 where the Republicans spent
$3.
