SCHOOL funds
ARE CUT AGAIN
House and Senate Committees Com
promise ON Appropriation.
X. U. GETS THE BIGGEST CUT
Amounts Are sim An Increase over
Appropriation OF Two Years
Ago-Emergency Appro-
priation Made.

Topeka, Mar. 5-The joint ways
and means committee OF the senate
and house has at last agreed upon
the appropriation bills for the state
educational institutions, totaling 3d.
$4,000 for the support Of these In
stitutions during the next two years
and including $27 500 in emergency
appropriations for the rest of the
present fiscal year.
AS finally agreed upon, the 'edu-
cational institutions will not get as
large appropriations as were allow
ed them in the original senate COM
mittee bills. but on the other hand
the senate committee prevented the
house committee from cutting as
deeply as the lower house commit
tee decided upon. All the schools
were subjected to trimming by the
house committee.
Two years ago the total appro-
priations to all the senate educa-
tional institutions was $2,679,305,
including $4,000 in emergency APP
preparations for the last three
months of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1911.
The original senate committee APP
preparations for Kansas university
were $1,266,O0O for the next two
years. In the conference between
the two committees this has been
lowered to a total of $1,146,000.
The cuts included $4,000 a year
for general maintenance, $4,000 a
year for permanent repairs and $40,-
600 year in reappropriated fees
For the agricultural college the
original committee figures totaled
$1,0O2,5OO. This has been reduced
to a total of 1853, 500, by reducing
the figure for maintenance by $780,
900 a year and cutting $4,000 a year
from the repair and improvement
fund.
Where the state normal originally
was allowed total of $411,O00 by
the senate committee, this has been
reduced to $SS1,O0O, chiefly by
lowering the appropriation for main
tenance by $500 year. /

A Word From the
Harley-Davidson Factory

AS manufacturers we do not sup.
port racing and we do not build
racing machines. This new worlds
record made at San Jose, CAL, Dec.
9Th came as complete surprise to
us. The contest was conducted en-
tirely without our knowledge, and
the first we heard of 1t was from
newspaper clipping sent to the
factory We have repeatedly assert
ed that the S-horse power Harley
Davidson was the fastest stock ma
chine made, barring none. This has
been proved time and again in con-
tests where private owners competed
with their own machines. The San
Jose factory furnishes more actual
proof that the Harley Davidson will
stand UP under the most trying con-
ditions possible and at a maintained
high speed. The contest referred
to was the one at San Jose which
was 346 miles in z hours, including
stops for gas and oil. 1t was con-
Quoted under the F. A. M. sanction.
We have an 8-horse machine in
stock which we will gladly demon
strate to you as soon as the weather
permits.
