Asking For Less.

That there has been a careful
scrutiny Of the estimates of appro-
priatiOns for the fiscal year ending
June 20 1911. is shown by the
figures submitted to the house of rep
resentatives by Secretary of the
Treasury McVeagh.
The grand total of estimates for
1911 is $685. ,22S,075 which is $1OS-
37O,iO3 less than the appropriations
for the current fiscal year and S123,.
066,49 under the estimates SUBMIT
ed year ago for 1910. A general
cut has been made wherever possible
and new work authorized only where
regarded as absolutely necessary.
Heretofore it has been the practice
of departmental officers to "pad" the
estimates with the expectation that
they would be reduced materially
before being passed by congress.

For A Consumers Club.

The following suggestion appeared
as a communication from a party at
Parsons, Kas., in a recent issue of
the Kansas City Star.
To The Star: The issue of The
Star for November 10 contained an
article written by Consumer" from
PlttSburg, KaS., relating the applause
at a bankers meeting wherein was
expressed the sentiment that there
are a few who believe that prosperity
is due to the fact Of duty of Sl.50
per thousand being on lumber and
5O per cent on everything in general.
Would it not be a duty and profitable
for the people Of Kansas, urging re.
lief, to form a consumers club and
pledge themselves to work in all
honorable ways, for reduction Of
the cost of living' These clubs should
no. be larger than twenty-five mem.
bers, one being secretary to distribute
literature to the club and by them to
their neighbors, who read only stand
pat papers. Another Consumer.
