MAKING IT WORSE.

ut is a we'll known fact" says the
Hutchinson News, THAT the Popullsts
refused to make appropriations large
enough to run the various departments
of the state government and allowed
these bills to accumulate for the Re-
publicans to pay" The News seems
bent on making worse showing for
the Republican legislature than the
facts will warrant. In the first year
after the end of the Popullst regime
the state taxes amounted 10 $1.42O. 1914.
If any considerable part Of this was re.
