gone and the state is behind some
thing over two million dollars. 1t
is to the last statement that Gov.
Shafroth takes exception. He main
tains that an appropriation .by the
legislature even If approved by
the governor is not debt against
the state, If the state has not the
money with which to pay. Such
position was never assumed by
preceding governor. Just before the
last legislature convened the aud
itor and treasurer made an estimate
on the amount of revenue that
would be collected this biennial
period. They placed 1t at $685.
626.65. Instead of keeping within
the amount that legislature ap-
propriated the total sum of $4.-
576.s45.O5.
Gov. Shafroth's position Is that
the difference between the two sums
is not a debt against the state un-
less the revenues are sufficient to
pay it. However. the differences
includes SO far, rs per cent of the
third class appropriations. and all
the fourth class appropriation. and
all of the fifth class appropriations
The educational institutions, bur-
eaus and boards and individuals
who succeeded in getting the ap-
preparation bill enacted certainly
have a right to feel that those
appropriations are debts against
the state. C. C. Parks. republican
assembly candidate for governor in
discussing this feature of the fl
nances OF the state said. 81 shall
never sign an appropriation bill in
excess OF the estimated revenue.
Whenever the state OF Colorado
contracts a debt under my admin
istration 1t would not be repudiat-
ed by any such statement a. Gov.
Shafrokh IL now making. be-
lisys n the governor knovs. -
Gov. SKafroth knew. thai there
was not money in the treasury and
would not be money in the treas
ury to pay these bills. he should
not have signed them. certainly
will never sign a single bill in ex-
cess of the amount I know am

The supreme court will convene
September ninth and the attorney
general. assisted by the governor
will make an effort to have the
and referendum case ad-
vanced SO that a determination of
1t can be had previous to October
first. II 1t is not determined by
that date the proposed laws can
not be properly published. What
ever the result may be one thing is
certain and that Is that the pres
ent democratic administrationn is
responsible for the mix up. Four
years ago that party pledged the
initiative and referendum. After an
entire session OF the Legislature 1t
was not submitted and Gov. Shat
roth called an extra session. How
ever. he did not call It in time for
the provisions OF the state consti-
tuition to be followed. Had the
governor called 1t in time for the
to be published in the
session laws. the present mix up
would not have occurred. 1t must
be remember also that Governor
Shafroth used his extra session to
force his second Nomination for the
governorship.

A STAND PATTER.

The following is the Topeka Daily
Capitals idea of stand patter:
"Oyer in the town of Liberty, Mo-,
lives a man who may be termed real
stand patter. He is So years old. He
was born in Liberty in 1854. In 1853
he made trip overland to Kansas
City. The distance is Is miles. In
1871 he made another trip on the cars,
the only time he has ever ridden on a
railroad train. Since then he has
stood pat. The world has moved on
but that doesn't concern the Liberty
man. These new tangled notions and
ideas don't interest him. He has never
seen telegraph instrument and never
talked over telephone but once. He
has never seen moving picture show,
though thousand moving picture
shows have been put on at his home
town. He has not seen the Missouri
river since he was boy of II, although
the old river flows by the town OF
Liberty within stones throw of the
place where he lives.
"He never rode up or down in the
passenger elevator of sky scraper.
He never rode in a motor car.
"He never saw an electric street car.
"He never saw a cable car.
ssHe never saw a horse race and
never attended a theatre.
"He is not without education as he
attended William Jewell college in
Liberty when he was a young man.
"He doesn't stay at home because he
has to, for he is man of some con-
siderable property and is said to be
worth about 5000 He is barber
and attends strictly to his business.
"The outside world doesn't interest
him. He is stand patter gone to
seed. The foregoing reads like an i'm
possible story, but the facts are said to
be as above stated. The stand patters
certainly should not overlook that

Spring Green Soldier With
Unusual Record at

George Claridge of Spring Green is
at the Memorial Arch dedication at
Madison and concerning him the
Journal says:
With step just trifie unsteady,
wearing the same suit ofsblue that he
wore in war days and carrying the old
musket, still bright and clean, that he
carried in the funeral procession of
Abraham Lincoln many years ago,
George Claridge of Spring Green,
member of Company A, 36th Wiscon-
sin, during the rebellion, proudly
walked down Main street this morn
ing and reported to the G. A. r. head
quarters. 1t was picturesque sight,
and many men who had never before
seen the veteran, stopped him and
shook his hand. Wounded twice dur
ing the war, Mr.. Claridge was one of
the guard of honor that followed the
hearse that carried Lincoln to his last
resting place. Few men who were in
that guard of honor still survive.
