showing decrease in appropriations
mean to charge that the appropria-

ly and Improperly extravagant that
in spite Of increased needs, larger
population and greater opportunities,
The Democrats could afford TO cut to
a point below what heretofore has
been established?

W. P. FEEDER came in from Topeka
Saturday evening for a visit with
home folks and many friends over
Sunday and to look after some bust
ness matters. AS secretary to the
Public Utilities Commission Mr.. Fee
der has been kept pretty busy, the
work being such that it occupies
practically every minute of his time,
but he likes the work and is getting
along nicely. He has rented a house
in Topeka and will move his family
there some time after the first of
April.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Topeka, Kans.. March II. 1913.

IOpeKa, hanS., March II, 1918.
Today marks the formal adjourn
ment of the legislature of 1913. While
il has failed in some things that it
ought to have accomplished, its rec
ord, when reviewed and analysed, as
it will be during the next two years,
will show more good, wholesome, pro-
gressive laws than were ever enact
ed in the history of any legislature in
the state. No Democrat needs to
blush at the results of the session.
The record rings true.
Just now attention is being called
to the fact that this legislature has
appropriated nearly half million dol
lars more than did its predecessor.
Those who urge this objection forget
to add that the appropriations for ed
ucational purposes are practically
three-quarters of a million more than
they were two years ago. Eliminate
the appropriations for educational pur
poses and an analysis will show that
Gov. Hodges and his associates will
run the state government for a quar-
ter Of a million dollars less for the
next two years than did Gov. Stubs
during his last administration.
The best analysis of the appropria-
tons yet made is the one given out
b" Senator Jouett ShouSe, chairman
of the senate committee on ways
and means. He says:
There has been a good deal Of dis
cussions about the appropriations mace
by the legislature. In view of some
of the statements made it seems well
at this time to briefly review these
appropriations, that the people of
Kansas may have definite and full
facts at their command.
Compilations now completed by
the clerk of our committee show that
the appropriations exceed in actual
amount those made by the legislature
Of 1911 to the extent of $461, PSI 90.
Some of the newspapers that are not
in sympathy with this administration,
and are seeking to discredit it, are
attempting to find in the fact of in
creased appropriations over two years
ago, an opportunity for severe criti-
cism.
1T is claimed that this administra-
ton was elected on an economy plat
form; that during the campaign, the
speakers for the Democratic ticket
criticized Republican extravaganza in
the past, and promised for the Demo
cratic party, II elected, an admins
tration Of strict economy. In view Of
these promises, it is further claimed
that this program has not been car
ired out and that the Democratic par
ty is to be severely censured for the
fact that its appropriations are in ex-
cess q those made BY the legislature
two years ago.
TO the thoughtful man who exam :
ines the appropriations in detail there
is no proper basis for any such criti-
ctsm. In the first place, Kansas is a
growing state; she is going forward,
not backward; she Is Increasing in
population. iD wealth, in taxable prop
erty. As she grows, as her oppor-
