Taxes No Lower
Under the Democrats

and dollars in the penitentiary fund
100000 in the executive and judi
cial appropriations and increases OF
$3.50, 900 in the educational insti-
buttons and $225.OO0 in the print
ing plant over the appropriations Of
two years ago. Practically every
dollar OF the proposed appropria-
tions will go into the actual expenses
OF the state. The increases come
about through the natural growth
of Kansas and the consequent need
for additional funds to carry on
state work.
In the appropriations appear the
following new buildings:
Addition to state printing plant
for school text book printing. 1885,
900; new laboratory building at
Rosedale medical school $26,000;
repairs and extension main building
state normal school $4,000; new
building at Pittsburg normal $7b,-
900; new animal hushandry Duild-
ing at agricultural college $4,000;
new custodian building at Winfield
(burned) $4,000; new building at
state reformatory (burned) $685.
OOO; new buildings 81 Larned in-
sane hospital $4,000.
The big increase in the total apA
propriations is for the state schools.
which have been given much larger
appropriations than two years ago,
although they did not get the new
buildings much needed. The var-
ious institutions and departments
asked for more than IL million dol
lars for the next two years, but the
state suditor and the ways ana
means committees cut 8 million
! from those estimates.

Topeka, Feb. 24.-The ways and
means committees OF the Kansas
Legislature have practically complet-
ed the work of shaping up the APP
propriations for the state for the
next two years. With the present
available estimates the indications
are that the total state appropria-
tions will reach close to the S-mil-
lion-dollar mark for the biennial
period. Including all funds and ac-
counts, the appropriations of the
1918 legislature will be practically
the same as that of the 1911 ses-
sion, a little higher II anything.
The following are the probable
appropriations for the next two
years, the figures being those of the
ways and means committees OF the
two houses. but not definitely acted
upon:

ecutive and judicial, paying salaries

JIM MCCOY PLOWED
THE FIRST cow TRAIL.
Ran FMrow from Abilene Through
Oklahoma to Texas.

Nearly a half century ago Joseph
C. Mccoy plowed furrow from
Abilene, Kan, down through Okla
homa and into Texas, in order that
the southwest cowman would have
"a we'll established trail to Abilene
then the end OF the Kansas Pacffic
railroad, where they could market
their cattle, worth about IS to SO
"a head.
Today Mr.. Mccoy stood on the
seventh floor OF the Kansas City
Live Stock Exchange, looked down
on a stock yards plant capitalized at
11h millions. and saw steers from
Oklahoma sell at nearly 800
head on the native side and up to
$3.50 hundred pounds on the quar-
antine side, the highest price ever
paid in February for steers from be-
low the quarantine line.
Mr.. Mccoy said this morning:
"The change has been marvellous,
but when l put out from Kansas
city in 1868 into the great Ameri-
can Desert to the west ! knew this
west was to be great. Time has not
dealt gently with me, but / I'm con-
tent to know that ! helped to make
the great southwest possible for the
other fellow"
Mr.. Mccoy lives at Wichita, Kan.
He is visiting his old friends at the
stock yards.-Kansas City Star.

WHAT THE LOCAL PAPER
DOES.

Every year every local
paper gives from 500 to
$4,000 in free lines for the
benefit Of the community In
which It 10 located, says the
Horton Headlight. No other
agency can or will do this.
This local editor, in proper
tion to his means, does more
for his town than any ten
men, and in fairness, man
with man, ought to be sup
ported, not because you like
him or admire his writings,
but because a local paper Is
the best investment a COM
munity can make. 1t may
not be brilliant or crowded
with great thoughts but fin
anctally II Is more oL peho
fit to a community than a
preacher or a teacher. Un-
derstand us now, we do not
mean morally or intellect
ually, but financially and
vet on the moral question
you will find the majority
Of local papers are on the
right side Of the question.
Today the editors OF local
papers do the most work
for the least money Of any
people living.

about 1890 o'clock last night in his
room at 634 West Iron. The indi-
cations point to death from natural
causes and Dr.. w. e. Mowery,. the
county coroner, said II was very
probable that no inquest would be
held. Marshall was discovered by
the little daughter Of Mrs. Redric,
the woman who lives at the house,
The little girl, who found the man
had gone to the room to get
blanket. she found Marshall on the
bed and thought that he was asleep.
She then went down stairs and told
Mr.. and Mrs. Epperson, who have
been in charge Of the house during
Mrs. Redric's absence in Iowa, that
she could not get the man awake.
They at once investigated and found
that he was dead. The coroner was
then called.
Marshall has been in Salina since
the first Of February, coming here
from Abilene. He seemed to possess
considerable property and had just
purchased a residence in the east
part Of Salina from w. G.. Stude-
baker. He was at Mr.. Studebaker's
office yesterday evening and COM
planned of being sick and the, two
then decided to put off the closing
OF the deal until this morning.
The dead man has mother in
Nebraska and she was notified this
morning Of her sons death. He
also has relatives in Abilene and
they will probably make arrange
ments for the funeral. The body
was taken this morning to Smiths
undertaking parlors. Marshall was
about As years Of age and was said
to have been unmarried.
Besides his other business. Mar
shall was also known to have q
preparation for removing grease
from carpets, which he expected to
sell. He had told a friend OF his
intentions along this line yesterday
evening and he said that he believed
that he had a good thing and that
it would sell we'll. The receipt and
ingredients of the mixture were
found in his room. Marshall had
expected to return to his home at
Abilene next week.-Salina Journal.
[From Tuesdays DaiIy.1
Did Frank Marshall, who was
found dead in his room at 624 West
Iron Friday night, die 9 natural
death, commit suicide, or did ne ac-
cidentally take so much chloroform
to relieve pain that it caused his
death? This Is the question that .
jury empaneled by DR.. w. e. Mowery
county coroner, struggled with this
afternoon in the district court room.
About 20 witnesses were called in
the case.
Marshall was found dead in hh
bed about 1880 o'clock Friday night
by q little girl, who lived at the
place. Il was thought that he had
died a natural death, as it was
known that he had been sick during
the evening, and at the time It was
decided that no inquest would be
necessary. Later q bottle partially
