L. s. LOOKS UP TITLE OF
ISLAND CLAIMED BY BRITISH
Palmyra. 600 Miles From Hawaii,
Was Discovered by American I'm
1S52-Proclaimed Part of King
dom


Washington, D. C-Rumors that
Great Britain intended to take pos
session of Lalmyra island, Gn reality
a group of fifty islets), lying about
500 miles southwest of Hawaii and al
most in a direct line between Aus
tralia and the Panama canal, result
ed in the subject being made mat
ter of INJURY unofficially at the state
department today.
Officials professed ignorance OF
any issue being raised as to the own
ership of the island, but admitted
that the title was vague.
Palmyra island was discovered in
1852 by an American shipmaster, was
proclaimed part of the kingdom OF
Hawaii in 1882 and was annexed by
Great Britain in 1889. The question
at issue is whether the British an
nexation cancelled the prior Hawaiian
title. for if it did not, then Palmyra
island would probably be held to have
been annexed to the United states in
1898

A History Of Gross Extravaganza
mnd Incompet1s,ey. Pour Years
Of Hrle

A general revl of the financial
record of thex1 17u and 18Th
general assemblieE winch included
the Buchtel and two Shafroth ad-
ministrations, shows that there
has been a steady increase in the
expense of conducting the state
government from the time Cover
nor Shafroth assumed the office un-
til the present. (The total appro-
priations of the Buchtel administra-
ton were s2.444. .593). The total
appropriations of the first admin
istration were s3,432.66s. an in
crease over the Buchtel administra-
ton of $99S,075. 80. The total APP
preparations of the second ShafrOth
administration were s4,34S,s45, an
increase over the first Shafroth ad-
ministration of s916.156.59 and an
increase over the Buchtel admins
tration of s1.9O4. .231.s9. The in
crease of the second administration
over the Buchtel administration is
within s54O,361.27 of the entire
cost of running the Buchtel ad-
minis;r ration. The estimated reve-
nues for the Buchtel daministra-
ton was s2.2s7 100000. These
revenues were collected and a suf-
ficient surplus was also collected so
that the Buchtel administration
paid all bills and turned over to
GovernorShafroth s504, ,264.67. The
estimated revenues of the first
Shafroth administration were s3.-
I96,O444O. On this estimate they
appropriated s3,432. .66s. .46, an ap-
preparation over their estimated rev
enues of $236.6644.O6. OF these APP
propriations they paid all, but in
doing so they used the $504 .246.67
left them by Governor Buchtel
which gave them an actual deficit
of s267, ,6OO.71 for the period.
The total appropriations for the
second Shafroth administration were
$4,34S, ,S45.O5. They made these
enue of 6.616.65. Thus they
more than they knew
they would have to spend, If their
estimates were correct, 81 ,522,22S
The total first class, or payroll,
of the Buchtel admin
istra tion was s1.156,617.95, which
included a number of small items
such as 81 500 for the Kansas-Colo-
RADIO water case and $4,000 for the
investigating committee
The total first calss appropriation
for the first Shafroth administra-
was $1,4O4,7 .6S, an increase in
payroll for the two years of SPAS
1873. The total first class ap-
for the second Shat

$3.50, ,561.17 over his first admins
tration, and an increase of $685.,
$500 in payrolls alone over the
Buchtel administration.
OF the appropriations for this
biennial period the first. second,
and fifty per cent of the third class
have been paid, leaving the re-
naming fifty per cent of the third
mounts to $175,25O, and all the
fifth amounting to $1SS, 1877 un-
paid. Thus within four years of
democratic rule our state treasury
has changed from bank account
OF 5O4,264.67 to deficit in ac-
tual appropriations of $761 .432.77.
Add to this the $5O4,264.67 left
them by Governor Buchtel makes
grand total deficit for Governor
Shafroth of $1.265. 5.697.44 for the
four years. In other words, he ran
behind s316.424.36 each year. or
81 l,O5474 for each working day of
his administration.
Does this record indicate that
Democracy fulfilled its two platform
pledges in which 1t promised hon.
esty and efficiency in the admin
istration of public affairs?
Among the appropriations for
this period that were not paid be-
cause of the number of increased
salaried employees are:
One-half the appropriations for
the improvement of state institu-
tions which includes the new ac-
quisitions. the Teller institute and
the Fort Lewis school, which should
have been well taken care of this
period. Both institutions are in
bad shape and the failure of De-
mocracy to take care of them sim
ply means the loss of thousands of
dollars In their actual valne. -s--~s.al
Other Institutions that lost by
reason of Increased salary payrolls
are:
The Pueblo State Fair 100000

culture and horticulture

of s29O,490.57 in appropriations
which were afterwards declared un-
constitutional. In other words. the
amount was appropriated wwith out
authority and payment stopped by
either court or attorney general
opinion. Had this amount been
added to the deficit of Governor
Shafroth it would raise his daily
shortage nearly $3.50. However. he
should not be charged with short
age that was declared unconstitu-
tional even If he and his assembly
tried to create 1t.
A feature of the Shafroth ad-
ministrations that should not be
overlooked is the fact he placed
all of the salaries of his employees
in the first class appropriations
when he knew their incidental ac-
counts, which are in the fourth class |

many of the employees salaries
