sDes Moines, Feb 13-The outlook
for fitting expenditures to income for
the state of Iowa is not as good as it
seemed ten days ago, and legislators
who desire to continue the state on
the safe and solid basis Of the past
ten years are wondering just how
they are going to do the necessary
pairing and still leave the claimants
satisfied. They are fully determined
the state shall not return to the condi-
tions of a dozen years ago when the
state was burdened with an illegal
debt and the state treasurer was pay
ing out money for interest because Of
inability to establish the cash sys-
tenn.
The latest budget estimate contem-
plates an expenditure the next two
years of little more than $500, 900,
which is full million more than is in
sight. And the worst feature is that
in this increase is included continuing
annual appropriations which call for
over a half million each year right
along indefinitely. In other words. the
bills in the books call for a perma
nent increase of state expenditures OF
a million dollars each biennial period.
A brief statement of the budget as it
now stands is:
Three state colleges ........ 5 1,436, 900
Fifteen state institutions -. 443,000
Miscellaneous items ........ 742,0OO

COLLIERY EMPLOYE DOES
NOT ASSUME ALL RISK

Olympia, Nov. 6. - An important
ruling On the liability of mine owners
for injuries to miners and other en-
ployes was established by a decision
of the state supreme court in the
case OF Arthur Mckenzie against the
North Coast Colliery Company. He
secured a judgment for $4,000 in the
King county courts for personal in
Juries. The court holds that while
coal mining has its dangers, all occu-
patlons nave more Or less danger. and
that it does not necessarily follow that
a mine employe assumes the risk and
cannot recover if he is hurt.
In this particular case coal caved
IN upon plaintiff. He could not see
his danger, nor could he have known
OF 1t without making a personal exam
NATION of a different part of the mine
from that in which he worked and
the court holds that it was not his
business to make that inspection but
was the duty of the owner to keen the
mine safe.
He was "a years old, and then earn
ing 81 day. The court finds that he
is probably a hopeless cripple. but
that $4,000 is sufficient. as that
amount at interest is sufficient to COM
pensate for his loss of earning power

accept this amount, judgment is af-

STIR is PREDICTED ON
TAFT'S RETURN TO CAPITAL

Portland, Ore, Nov. S.-The Orego-
mans Washington correspondent
saws: The return of President Taft
to Washington next Wednesday is ex-
pected to put an end to the policy OF
DELAY which has dominated the Taft
administration since the passage OF
the tariff bill last August. Since the
departure of the president and almost
his entire cabinet from Washington
many matters of great Importance
have been postponed for settlement
pending their return.
At present nobody in Washington
pretends to know what the Taft adj
minisration expects to ask for pas
sage at the coming congress. The
meeting of that body is only a month
off and yet the paramount issue of the
administration is not yet apparent
The state department presents the
most chaotic condition of any of the
executive departments, as a result of
the policy of delay. Changes in the
diplomatic corps at London, Paris and
Pekin are on the table and the new
Far Eastern and Latin American bu-
reaus are yet to be put on working
basis.
In the absence of Secretary Nagel
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor is administered by Solicitor Earl,
who is acting secretary since Ormsby
McHarg, the assistant secretary, re-
signed. The customs division of the
treasury department, which admins
tiers the new tariff law, is being SUI
pervised by Charles D. Hilles, assist
ant secretary of the treasury, in addi-
ton to his regular duties, which are in
themselves Onerous.
It is understood here that this hia-
tus of public authority on the part of
higher officials of the administration
has not been without result. Practic-
ally all of them, from the president
down, have been giving close study
during summer months to department.
al affairs with view to outlining a
definite administration policy to each.
