pat Republican friends helped to
make.

-X-X-
The press bureau recently referred
to the fact that the State Board of
Administrator had saved a large sum
of money by dispensing with the SER
vices of superfluous janitors and stu
dent instructors at the big educa--
tional institutions. Certain Bull-moose
Republican newspapers deliberately
transposed the language used in Or
der to make the press bureau say
that the Board of Administration had
dispensed with the student janitOrs
and student instructors. The press
bureau said no such thing. 1t report
ed the Board of Administration as
having abolished student instructors
at the great state schools, which is
the fact. 1t reported the Board as
having dispensed with the services OF
large number Of superfluOus JAM
tors, which is a fact. So far as the
press bureau knows students have
not been employed as janitors at any
of the state educational institutions,
but if they have, the Board will not
discontinue the practice. The press
bureau is informed that students who
want janitor jobs will be given pref
erence over political hangers-on, the
only restriction being that no more
will be employed than is necessary
to do the work.
If you want to know what the press
bureau says, the best way is to take
paper that prints it first hand and
not take a CARRIED statement from
some Bull-NIoose-Republican sheet.

has not gotten beyond the newspaper
stage, and his efforts to get some no
toriety in connection with the Blue
Sky Law litigation are quite as anus.
ing as the antics of the clown at
the old time circus.
Dolley has not yet explained why
he did not get into the game while
he was still Bank Commissioner and
Noun Day was distributing oil and
gas stock in connection with his
sales of real estate.
Some time ago the "Girard Press"
put out the claim that the credit for
about all the good laws enacted by
the legislature belonged to certain
Republicans. Most Of the Republicans
named happened to be stand patters
Of very high degree. This claim is
positively amusing in view Of the fact
that although Governor Hodges and
other Democratic members Of pre-
ceding legislatures were actually ne
sponsible for about all the progress
sive laws enacted by these legisla--
lures, our Republican friends have
persistently refused to allow them any
credit in the matter.
The press bureau will be more lib
eral. When the Bull Moose press was
criticising Governor Hodges for ap-
pointing stand-patters to office, the
press bureau said among other things,
that he did so because the admins
tration had been materially assisted
in passing progressive measures by
these very stand-patters. This state
ment was ridiculed in certain quar-
ters, but it was true nevertheless,
and the Girard papers article was
copied with approval in a Topeka
paper which had previously secuted
the idea that the stand-patters had
been responsible for anything good in
the way of legislation. The Girard
Press mentioned Senator Wilson, OF
Washington county, in connection
with the Automobile License tax law;
Secretary Of State Sessions in con-
nection with the Corporation Tax law
Auditor Davis in connection with the
Sand Tax law; Senator Mahin and
John Dawson in connection with the
Mahin law. The press bureau conced.
es to these gentlemen their full quo
Of praise for these laws, but if they
had not been made administration
measures by Governor Hodges, they
would not now be on the statute
books
The Democrats had a majority in
both houses, and If the Stubbs admin
istration was entitled to credit for
the progressive laws which the Dem
ocrats helped make, the Hodges ad-
ministration is entitled to the credit
for those good laws which our stand

TOPEKA LETTER.

Topeka. Kan, Aug. IS, 1918.
The Hodges administration has no
apology whatever to offer for the ap-
preparations made by the legislature
u 1913, and, as the press bureau un-
erstands it, no apology is needed.
The Republican Bull Moose attitude
on the subject is simply choice bit
Of political bunc. They say I've ad-
~ that the appropriations made
s%ere proper and right and not larg-
5er than were necessary to properly
'Oon1uct the business Of great, pro-
gressiye state for the next two years
but you Democrats asserted on the
stump last fall that the Republican
appropriations had been extravagant
and made the people believe 1t, and
when you got in office you found that
. the appropriations could not be re-
duced and therefore We are exceed
i0gly sore at you, not because you
appropriated too much money, but be-
cause of the method you used to
secure the offices"
This is certainly a most wonderful
piece of political dope. The matter
OF Republican extravaganza was dis
scussed in this state through two cam
paigns. Our Republican Bull Moose
friends had their day in court and
lost. The people heard the charges,
listened to the evidence, and the
arguments on both sides and decided
against them. No unfair advantage
was taken. Our Republican Bull
Moose friends are simply doing the
BOBBY act.

The Bull Moose Republican stat
ment Of the case is not correct. What
the Democrats complained about on
the stump was the extravagant ex-
pense Of the state government, and
when they got In office, the Demo
Gratis found that their charges in that
respect were true and summary
Of thee appropriations will show
that they proceeded to reduce the
expense account Of the Executive, Ju.
dicial, Penal and Charitable Depart
ments to the extent Of a quarter of a
million dollars.

Nngent funds Of the Stubs admins

port contains abundance of the truth

the subject of extravaganza during

deficits which II left for the 1913 leg
islature to pay, the appropriations for
the Hodges administration are less
than those Of the Stubs administra-
ton BY more than s25O,OOO.0O.
In this connection the press bureau
desires to call your attention to an
other matter. Our Republican friends
allege that the legislature of 1913 ap-
propriated half million dollars more
than did the legislature Of 1911. Now
the Republican Press is crying out,
that, although the tax levy has not
been increased yet It will raise IT,
900 more than was raised in 1872 be-
cause Of sixty four million dollars in
the assessed value of the taxable
property Of the state.
Now, in view Of the fact that 1t is
agreed that the present administra'
ton has deprived itself Of an income
Of three hundred thousand dollars pei
annum by the repeal Of the o6nox-
ious Inheritance Tax law, according
to the figuring Of our Republican
friends, this would leave some thing
over seven hundred thousand dol
lars more money to be raised from
some other source than direct taxa
ton. Inasmuch as the automobile tax
goes to the counties, while the sand
tax is tied up in litigation, and the
state share of it will only amount tc
about sixty thousand dollars any how
and inasmuch as the new corporation
tax will not begin to be paid unit
next year, 1t is quite evident thai
there is some thing wrong with the
figuring of our Republican friends fol
the Tax Commission consisting o.
two Republicans and one Democrat
have most assuredly decided thai
they have levied enough taxes to pay
the running expenses of the state
for the next year.
We leave the Republican press II
extricate itself from the situation as
best they can.
The Blue Sky Law has been de
clared constitutional. A Receiver has
BEEN appointed to take charge d
the funds which Noun Day and thu
companies in whose names he die
business, have extracted from the
people of the state. The next inning
will be In the Federal Court whert
Noun Day and his wife are charged
with having used the United States
mails In furtherance of a scheme tt
defraud. So far, Attorney Genera
Dawson and the attorneys employed
by Governor Hodges have defended
the Blue Sky Law in the state courts
without any assistance from Mr.. Dol
ley or his attorneys. Mr.. Dolley's &C
