STATE GOT
S30,235
BACK AGAIN

After building the state house and fur
nishlng II properly so that II could be
turned over 20 the present commission
the commissioners for the construction Of
the state house found that they had $780,
245.4s remaining out OF the original $780,
900 appropriated for the purpose and in
stead OF planning come way In which IL
could be spent this sum was turned back
intact 10 the state. causing a great
shock 10 the general treasurer.
The shock was not because this partic-
ular commission should turn back funds
but because any commission appointed 10
erect a building for the state should so
far succeed in it's task as 10 build II with
out asking for more money.
In a way this little thirty thousand
which was dropped into the hands Of the
state treasurer in this unlocked for man
ner was a providential happening as a
note that the state had outstanding for
$4,000 came due a few weeks ago and
the money came in very nicely towards
making up this sum.
"The usual custom Of taking up the
bonds is TO sell securities OF the state,
but In the last instance II was decided
that the sale OF securities would not be
advantageous al that time and that the
note was preferable. As a considerable
part OF the states indebtedness came
from this same three million that was
appropriated for the state house, II
seems only fair and proper that this
money back" should go to reduce the
total
The state treasurer did not rely on his
own ideas OF what was right and proper
in turning this sum into the sinking fund
as there had previously been an opinion
OF the supreme court which stated that
the unexpended balances OF appropria-
tions should be so utilized.
The general opinion seems 10 be that
the state got more OF an adequate re-
turn for its money In the case OF the
building than II has previously done in
similar cases for many years. and the
hard work OF the unsalaried commission
ers is deserving OF the greatest COM
mendation.
The amount OF new buildings. roads and
other improvements paid for out OF the
regular income IL very large and on the
first OF January the states debt was only
SAD 9S.4s and that has since been low
cred by $500 600.

"Little Japan" is misunderstood or it

island is bigger than Great Britain
and Ireland with population of
100000, more closely united by near
ties and more firmly knitted to-
gether by national spirit than any
like number of people on the face of the
earth; 100000 standing army, esprit de
corps, comaraderie and morale unsur-
passed and can be supplemented by
millions. Every boy over IA would
simply fly to the front if war breaks
out. 1t is not territorial aggrandize-
ment for which the Japanese contend
but national preservation. Russia in
China and Corea means simply that
Japan, too, will fall within it's sphere Of
influence next. The people of Japar
are impelled by patriotism, and under
such spur will fight like fends.
