HE DEFENDS LEGISLATURE
W. Bolinger Thinks It Did the Right
Thing.

To the Editor of the State Journal
BY permission I want a little space
in your paper I have failed so far to
see any published defense of Governor
Bailey or his legislature. As / under
stand the call for a special session was
not for the purpose OF making public
donation but was simply to place the
cities and counties in a position to help
themselves. At first glance the terrible
calamity we had just passed through
appeared greater than it will later on.
Especially so to US. here in the very
midst of it Kansas has again and
again gone through as great difficulties
without special legislative aid and can
undoubtedly do so now. The people Of
the Kansas river valley are no more
entitled to state relief than citizens Of
any other part of the state There are
occurring continual failures of crops,
drouths and storms in different sections
and if the giving of help by the state
was once begun. no one could tell where
it would be possible to stop. Give the
people little time and an opportunity
TO work and you viii see them come
through all right in spite of the critic
isms Of those outside and few here
who hoped for personal assistance.
