pupils have started upon their outings OF
every kind; some to the mountains, some
TO the seashore; some to camp. some 10

The Mexican Minister Does Not
Charge Misrepresentation But
Charges Shortage TO Ex-

The City Of Mexico. April 5.-The
Mexican finance minister reported to
congress today that the balance in
the treasury at the end of January
was $16,53O,O00 with $594,5OO
more distributed among the postal
and telegraph offices.
"This amount" he said, Ifs what
remains of the so-called reserves of
the Mexican treasury. or this sum
$9,400,000 is the monetary commits
sion fund which cannot be disburs-
ed"
The minister reported that the
Madero government had left items
totalling more than 6 " million dol
lars for which no accounts or re-
ceipts appeared. He explained that
this did not indicate misappropria-
ton, but he stated that the out
standing debt of the treasury and
the difference due to fluctuation in
the rate of exchange, etc., accounted
for only $15O.OOO of this sum. He
intimate d there ives possibility
that documents bearing on the dis
bursement would come to light.
The minister said that the Madero
government, between July, 1912, and
the date of its fall in February of
the present year, had spent TN
million dollars more than the bud

CAR OWNERS WILL BENEFIT.
From Motor Car Tax for Maintaining
Roads.

There seems to be general mis-
understanding among the people O
nansas as to what is to be done witt
the money that comes in each yea
from the car registration tax as pro
vided by the law enacted by the 1918
Legislature. The tax is five dollars
year for each motor car and two
dollars for each motorcycle. There
are about $4,000 motor cars and
5000 motorcycles in the state and
the tax will raise in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 900 a year.
"All of this money is to be used
for maintaining. the roads," said
Charles Sessions, secretary of state.
only small part of 1t goes out of
the county where the motor car is
owned. In order to get the car reg
istered the owner goes to his own
county treasurer and pays five dol
lars and gets receipt. Then the
receipt is forwarded to me and

urer takes rs cents from each motor
car fee and fifty cents from each
motorcycle fee and sends it to me for
the law, getting the
tags and paying the expense of send
ing them out.
'All of the rest of the money goes
into the county road fund where the
