WHY PLEDGES ARE DELAYED.

Considerable fuss, which may be
characterized as a bit untimely is
being stirred up in various quarters
because the majority of the legislature,
the Republicans, has been dilatory in
passing legislation in accordance with
the many important pledges it made
in its successful campaign of last sum-
mer and fall. 1t is all right for those
who are interested in these affairs to
call the attention of the legislators to
the fact that most of these pledges are
yet to be kept. but there is no reason
why a lot of condemnatory criticism
should be launched against them at
this time upon this subject. There will
be plenty of time for giving voice to
this criticism if the legislators adjourn
without having made a proper effort
to make good the pledges that were
made by them.
AS a matter of fact, there is every
good reason in the world why 1egisla-
tive action has not been taken yet on
most of these party pledges and on
which the people have right to expect
favorable action. They involve ques-
tions of the utmost legislative moment.
variety of measures seeking to ac-
complish many of them have been in
troduced in the legislature in the form
of bills. To work out. or frame a law
from one or all of such bills, which
will best meet the situation involved in
each particular pledge, is no easy task.
1t means public hearings before COM
mittees so that all phases of the ques-
ton can be presented. It means skill
full and slow work in drafting and re-
drafting these measures so that they
will accomplish the purposes intended
- Il
the test of the courts. All of this
takes time, and it is little wonder that
few of these measures have as yet
come from the hands of the commit
tees, which properly have the greater
burden of the legislative work thrust
upon them and which are responsible
for the important details of the man
ner in which it is performed. The real
trouble lies in the fact that the length
of the legislative session is all too
short for the proper consideration of

passage of bills on the floor Of either
house does not necessarily call for
much time. All of the real work on
the bills is rightly done by the
committees. 1t is far better that these
committees take their time in fixing
up the important matters of legisla-

people, than it is for them to pass on
the questions hurriedly with the great

THE STATE FAIR.

| If the legislature fails to act now in
this state fair matter, from alleged
motives of economy, it will be notice
to the country and to the world that
kansas is hard up" which of course
is not true, and could not afford,
though a great agricultural state of
great mineral, natural and live stock
interests to even start state fair.
We boast, with pardonable pride
of our Secretary Coburn and our
states great financial and farming
wealth Why then are we too poor
to pay the secretary fair salary or
inaugurate a display of our natural
wealth. that all may know it from OBJ
ject lessons?
Not the least important question
which is yet to be handled with de-
finiteness by the legislature is the
matter of appropriating some money
for the creation and the establish
ment of a state fair. The arguments
as to why Kansas, foremost among the
agricultural and stock raising states
so well known that it would almost be
a waste of time and space to reiterate
them. The holding of state exposi-
ton on an adequate scale would be
the best advertisement that this state
could possibly have. Strangers by the
hundreds with exhibits of produce,
live stock. farm implements and ev-
erything else of interest to an agri-
cultural community would be attract
ed to it. They would learn in a short
time by first hand evidence and not
from unreliable hearsay, just what
Kansas is and what Kansans are cap
able of doing. A state fair would be
the ultimate means of attracting new
and new men of the most
desirable sort to this commonwealth.
About the only argument that is be-
ing made around legislative halls
against the proposition is one that the
states finances are not in a position
at this time to warrant a large appro-
priation for a state fair. Because this
has got to provide for big
deficiency created by the thoughtIess-
ness, or something worse, of the last
the amount of money it
will have to raise to meet that def
cheney and the expenses of the state
that will develop within the next two
years, will be large. There is no deny
ing this fact. But it would be far
better in the real interests of the peo-
pie of the state for the legislators to
er than to deny a sufficient appropria-
ton for a state fair. If Kansas is
ever to have state fair-and it really
seems ridiculous to doubt for an in
stant that she needs one-the time
to prepare for it is now and not to-
which will be two years
hence in this case. Regardless of the |
state expenses which this |
legislature will have to provide |
against, the state is as prosperous now |
and is we'll able to afford a state fair, |
which will not be anything in the way
Of a luxury, but something in the line |
Of a necessity that will mean much |
for the progress of the agricultural |
affairs of the state. The matter of |
coating the state fair, is of secondary |
1t can be determined to |
he satisfaction of everyone. with the |
possible exception of Hutchinson, af- |
.er an appropriation for the institu- |
ion has been made.
