THE IEGIsI,ATORS, DIuv

| "A legislature" says the Charleston
News and Courier, "is an excellent in
stitution, but may go mad
| This provides a shoe that will per-
fectly fit the foot of the Kansas Iegfs-
lature of 1909 if it adjourns within the
next week or so and before it has TAX
en- definite action, one way or another,
on many important measures which
are before it and on which the people
of the state may be pardoned for ex-
pecting action inasmuch as they Sc
lected representatives to the legislature
for these very purposes.
Such a sentiment as has DEVELOPED
| in certain legislative quarters for an
early adjournment, before the real
work of the legislature has. been ac-
complished, must in reality come from
few men who are of the irresponsible
type, and of which it is reasonable to
suppose there are some in the 1egisla-
ture as there must be in any public
body of its size. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the number is small and
while they may be able to make con-
siderable noise about what they pro-
pose to do and not to do it will be
found that there are enough men of
good sound sense in both branches of
the legislature that an adjournment
will not be taken until the real work of
the session has been done.
The plea which is being made, that
the legislators should adjourn on
March 8 because their per diem pay
stops on that day is lighter than a
feather The men who are making it
are among those who fought hardest
to get into the legislature we'll knowing
that their compensation was to be SO
day and that it has ever been Gus
tomary for legislators to remain in
session after their last pay day and un-
til their work is completed. When
these particular individuals and the
other members of the legislature asked
for and received their nominations and
election from the hands of the people
they entered into a contract to do the
legislative work of the state. If they
have f1ddled away a lot of valuable
time in organizing and even in joking
for day or so over some immaterial
piece of legislation, as they have done,
that is their lookout. They asked to
be elevated to legislative levels to do
the legislative work of the state and it
is their business to stay and do it no
matter when their salaries stop.
As to their pay, that is another ques-
ton. They should receive a larger
compensation.

When he presented his scheme to

to the schools of law and medicine.
They were all private institutions once.
When they had proved the demand, the
states had taken them over and the
patronage of the private correspond

existence in the state of demand for
education which the state university
had overlooked. The regents decided
to try it; they voted $500 to make a
test. In three months they appropria-
ted $500 more. The correspondence

STATE AND coUNTY FAIRs.

/ Some objections are being raised TO a
state fair appropriation bill on the
| theory that If the state is going TO
spend money for such purposes it can
be expended to better advantage by
giving state aid to the county fairs
[ The argument is also advanced that
the creation of a state fair will mean
| tine ultimate destruction Of the county
fairs
Now, as matter of fact, both of
these contentious have not a true leg
on which to stand 1t has been the
experience in other states that the
esta bIishment of state exposition has
been the means of stimulating the
growth and Importance of county fairs.
Indeed they form a most valuable
nucleus for a state fair. and there are
many reasons why this should be SO,
that is If county fair organizations
work in harmony with the state fair
Organization as they should do.
County fairs should properly be
held before the state fair. and that can
be set at a sufficiently late date to
make this most feasible. To the coun-
ty fairs, if they are properly managed
and a proper interest taken in them,
will go the best of the produce and
live stock in the county holding it and
in the surrounding counties which may
not have undertaken such an enter
prise. The winners of premiums at
these fairs will naturally have an in
centive to display their prize winners
at the state fair and contest for the
larger and wider recognition that it
may be possible for them to achieve
at such an institution. Even those
who come out second and third best
at the county fairs. because their ex-
hfbits were not displayed to the best
advantage, Will be encouraged to try
again at the state fair when they will
have a chance to put their exhibits
in better form.
Thus, at the state fair, there will
be the prize winning produce and live
stock and other. things of the farm
and the factory of the various sections
of the state contending keenly with
each other for the state honors and
also to hold them against competitors
from other states who Will be attracted

would not go a dozen miles out of their
own state to show these things at a
