State Short Of Funds.-The finances
of the state are getting into bad way
and were the cause Of letter from
James NJ. Nation, state auditor, to the
legislature. In October. possibly by
September, it will be necessary to
stamp warrants "Not paid for want
of funds" The legislature two years
ago appropriated $70O0,O00 to pay
ments at the different state institu-
tions. This was to last for two years,
which would expire in 1909. To pay
for these appropriations of S7,O0O,OO9
the legislature limited the amount OF
taxes which could be raised to $4,950,-
600 and the fees which the state
ceived brings the amount to only a ut
tie more than six and a half million
dollars. The state has S1,950,OOO in
1908 taxes and fees coming in to pay
appropriations of S2,400,000 which will
be due during the next seven months.
There is no way to stop this condition
now and the letter of the auditor was
a warning to the legislature not to
make such large appropriations or In
crease the tax levy so that sufficient
funds would be raised.
Do Your Fully Duty-Stubbs.--1
shall do everything within my power
as governor to uphold and assist you
county attorneys in the enforcement
of the prohibitory and all other laws,
and equally as vigorous in branding
as criminals any of you who fail to
do your duty in that respect" This is
the declaration which Governor w r.
Stubs made to the county attorneys
of Kansas, in session at Topeka, who
were holding their annual meeting. 1t

laws of the state shall be enforced.
There will be no winking at law viola
tions by county attorneys, sheriffs
A county attorney who will not run
down evidence against jointists and
whisky sellers is a criminal himself
and if this administration spots him
it will make his life a burden. Kan
sas now has 105 of the best county at
torneys it ever had, and I not only
hope, but l expect all of you to do
your full duty" Attorney General
Jackson, in milder manner, backed
up the governors declarations. He
said it would be the policy of his de-
partment to aid the county attorneys
wherever possible, but that If it caught
any of them recreant to their duty
