BAILEY DEFENDS HIS POSITION.
Declares State Appropriation Is
Not Necessary.

Topeka, Kas.. June 26.-The extra session
of the Kansas Legislature this afternoon at
o'clock adjourned.
County Commissioners are authorized to
aid flood sufferers from the county fund to
any extent that seems best to them. To
the last, an effort was made to pass a bill
appropriating money for the relief Of the
sufferers. but it was defeated. This action
Of the Legislature has caused great
amount of criticism.
Governor Bailey in a statement to-day
explained his attitude toward relief ap-
preparation. in the course of which he said:
II feel that the criticism Of my attitude in
this matter Is unjust. There Is very little II
any restitution In the flood district. what
ever restitution there Is has been or Will be
relieved by the local authorities. the local
charities and the assistance which comes
freely from the outside The need Is great
through the Kansas Valley. but the cases
Of restitution are few.
