THEY'RE IN DOUBT
Members of Legislature Not
Sure They Did Right.
House Members Think Relief
Should Be Voted.

A few of the minority members Of
the house held a small indignation
meeting this morning to talk over the
acts of the body.
My county" said Representative
Linn of Ccwley county, sent several.
hundred dollars to the flood sufferers
and twenty-one boxes of clothing. The
people OF Cowley county are not salts
flea with that but they expected a re-
lief measure TO be Gassed.
I am sure that the western part of
the state was in favor of a relief BILL
said Representative Tatum of Edwards
county I think such a bill should
have been passed and 1 was in favor
OF such a bill and would have voted
for it if I had a chance
L came here with a bill prepared 10
appropriate S750000 for the relief of the
flood sufferers said Representative
Hale Of Rush county 1t was turned
down in the committee. Some of the
I members argued that it was uncOnsitu-
tional and others that the people of the
counties did not need the aid contem-
plated in the bill. So far as am con-
cerned 7 can not see that such a bill
would be any more unconstitutional
than many bills passed by the last session
to appropriate money and to which
there were no objections on the ground
of being unconstitutional. Some of the
members argued that the bill carried
too large an appropriation and that the
state could not afford it and others that
even that appropriation WOuld not "
sufficient TO render much relief. But
! that amount would have been better
than none This S750.000 would have
! been tax of two mills on the dollar
There is a disposition on the part O
some to blame the governor for the Dlli
not going through, but the governor
/ had nothing to do. in my Judgment,
with the legislature failing to act on the
appropriation. and no member OF TN
legislature should hold the gcVerntT
responsible for the members failure 10
act on any bill If member conscien-
tiously believed bill ought not to pass
he should consider it his duty to vote
against it. II he believed, s I do. that
the people along the valleys needeG
some temporary relief he should have
voted for it without regard to any
other man. I hope that the people viii
live down this calamity. and no doubt
many of them will. but the situation
seems to me so depIorable that the
LEGISLATURE should have granted them
relief I am not blaming any legislator
fer any stand he took for or against
relief hills.
.The. people of my county favored q
relief bill. They wished to return the
compliment of a few years ago when
many counties in western Kansas suf-
fered from the drought and the legisla-
ture made an appropriation for tbs
farmers Of those counties to use in buy
ing seed wheat The money was loaned
through the commissioners of the coun-
ties and 90 per cent of it has been pai6
back. Such an appropriation coulc

TALK OF SENATE ACTION.
The members of the house this morn
ing likened the action of the senate in
defeating a food appropriation relief
bill and then passing a resolution
thanking the people who had donated
to the relief of the sufferers to the min
lister who went to see a widow who was
in destitute circumstances. He prayed
with her and spoke words of cheer and
left On his way from her house to his
home he met a man on a wagon taking
a load of provisions to the widow. The
man was swearing at his horses.
Where are you going2' asked the
minister
Il am taking this ~ load of pro-
visions to the widow and III get there
if these --- horses will travel" said
the man.
Your donation would be all right"
said the minister. if you but had grace
to 60 with it,"
But the senate didn't have the grace
to keep still after refusing aid to the
destitute said Representative Hale.

The country not being scctionizcd,
each settler noted the extent 0f his
claim by the crossings OF the creek or
by some noted bluff or tree. The right
to these claims was highly respected.
No one dared 10 inlrudc.
The country was full Of game bear,
deer, turkey and bees the creek alive
with fish. \ few struggling Indians

We made our meal by pounding corn
in a mortar. Later on hand mills were
constructed from the native stone. Our
moccasin leather was tanned in ,roughs.
Sugar was made from the sugar trees.
What medicine we used was white wal.
nu, bark pills, boncsct, nnd bail willow
tea for the chills. We had no doctors
whereby any Of us could be killed
All differences were settled by arbi-
traitors. Marriage was sulcmnizcd by
some old fashioned minister.
