which authorizes the commission to
charge for samples of grain at their
actual cost. Our constitution pro-
vides that no money shall be drawn
from the treasury except in pur-
suance Of appropriation made by
law; so this one provision found in
section II is the only means by
which the commission can procure
money TO pay all Of its various ex-
penses. and this provision is, of
course, inadequate. and was not in
tended to pay more than the ex-
pense of procuring the samples of
grain. The provision of section 10
that ali other expenses shall be
paid out of the current expense fund
Of the state is imperative for the
reason that the state has DO current
expense fund specific appropria-
ton being made under our laws for
the expenses OF each Office created.
The present bill is like a number of
others that was hurriedly passed by
the last legislature in that it does
not provide for the maintenance of
the body it creates. You suggest
that it might be wise to let the
matter rest until another legislature
has convened and remedied the de-
feet of this bill. Unless the mem
bers of the commission care to be-
come personally liable for the ex-
penses incurred, it seems TO me that
this would be the only course to
pursue, under the circumstances.
It is to be regretted that the legis-
lature overlooked the necessity of
making an appropriation for carry
ing out the provisions of the bill,
but since it did, see no way to
make the bill effective unless its
members care to donate certain
amount of time and money to the
state on the chance that the next
legislature will repay them for the
time and expenditure and this is, of
course, an action that cannot be ex-
pected of them even by the most
patriotic of the people.
Yours very truly,
J. ]. Guheen.
The Commission held meeting

22nd and adjourned to meet in Lew

Gun Department Now Running on
 Two-thirds Time.

The gun department of Wuches- tcr's with the exception Of three or four rooms, went onto four-day schedule yesterday, The following statement is made by those closely connected with the factory;
 This is due 10 the fact that the de- mand for the guns by the iobbers is not as great as usual, since they are not keeping large. stocks on hand be- cause of the hard times which have not entirely improved as yet
 Through the hard times of the last year the factory has been running practically full handed and it is not surprising that slight recession has come, when one considers the fact that we have accumulated large stock.
 We expect good business next year and hope that the reduction in the work schedule in tho gun shop will be of short duration.'
