it is the duty of every legislature
to make liberal allowances along
monetary lines. This, of itself,
would justify an increase of ap-
preparations unless there has
been the most reckless eXtrava-
gance in the past. Do those
newspapers which are now criti-
cising the Democratic admins
tration for notshowing a decrease
in appropriations mean to charge
that the appropriations made by
the Republican legislatures of
the past have been so grossly
and improperly extravagant that
in spiteo of increased needs, larg-
er population, and greater op-
portunities. the Democrats could
afford to cut to a point below
what heretofore has been es-
tablished2
r. The claim that l would make
and on account of my position as
chairman of the Committee on
Wavs and Means of the Senate
l am perhaps more familiar with
the different appropriations and
with the reasons responsible for
them, than almost anyone else
except Mr.. Herr, chairman OF
the House Committee on Ways
and Means--the claim that Iwould
make and the fact that / would
emphasize is that the Democrat
ic legislature has been building
for the future of Kansas through
especial liberality toward the
educational institutions of Kan
sas. 1t is true that few build
ings were allowed, none save
where there was an absolute
necessity, but the various edu-
cational institutions have been
more tenderly taken care of in
the items of maintenance and
support for their various depart
ments, than at any time in the
past. And this after all is the
vital need, the pressing necessi-
ty, without which these institu-
tions must go backward rather
than forward.
Anexamination of the budgets
as granted by this Legislature,
compared with that of two years
ago, will show that the State
University, the Agricultural Col
lege, and the Normal schools re-
ceived direct increase in appro-
priations of $3.50, $500 over and
above the appropriations made
to them two years ago. The ap-
preparations for normal and man
ual training high schools aggre-
gate exactly S55,O00.OO more
than two years ago, and the APP
preparation made for the new
school text book plant and for
the purchase of copywrites to be
used in the state publication OF
text books, amounts to $235, 900,
so that these three items aggre-
gate S546;572.0O over and above
what was appropriated for the
same purposes two years ago, as
compared with a total increase
of S46l, ,251.O0 over the total APP

DEMOCRATIC
LEGISLATURE
Charged With Having Made
Larger Appropriations Than
Predecessor

Topeka, Kans., March II, '13
Today marks the formal ad journ
ment of the legislature of 1913.
While it has failed IN some things
that it ought to have accomplish:
ed, it's record. when reviewed
and analized, as it will be during
the next two years, will show
more good wholesome progress
i've laws than were ever enacted
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 legis-
lature has appropriated nearly a
half million dollars more than
did it's predecessor. Those who
urge this objection forget to add
that the appropriations for edu-
cationalpurposes are practically
three quarters of million more
than they were two years ago.
Eliminating the appropriations
for educational purposes and an
analysis will show that Gov.
Hodges and his associates will
run the state government for a
quarter of million dollars less
than did Gov. Stubs during his
last administration.
The best analysis of the ap-
preparations yet made is the one
given out by Senator Jouett
Shouse, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Ways and Means.
He says:
"There has been a good deal
of discussion about the appro-
priations made by this legisla-
ture. 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 defi-
mite and full facts at their com.
mand.
Compilations now completed
by the clerk of our mittee
show that the appropriations ex-
ceed in actual amount those
made by the Legislature. of 1911
to the extent of $461, ,251.00.
Some of the newspapers that are
not in sympathy with this admin
lstration, and are seeking to dis
credit it, are attempting to find
in the fact of increased appro-
priations over two years ago, an
opportunity for severe criticism.
It is claimed that this admin
istration was elected on an econ
/ omy platform; that during the
J campaign, the speakers for the
(, Democratic ticket criticized Re-
publican extravaganza in the
past, and promised for the Dem
ocratic party, if elected, an ad-
ministration of strict economy.
In view of these promises it is
further claimed that this pro-
gram has not been carried out
and that the Democratic party
is to be severely censured for
the fact that its appropriations
are in excess of those made by
the legislature tive years ago.
To the thoughtful man who
examines the appropriations in
detail there is no proper basis
for any such criticism. In the
first place, Kansas is a growing
state; she is going forward, not
backward; she is interesting in
population, IN wealth, in taxable
property. As she grows, as her
opportunities increase, so do her
demands, and in order to keep
pace with the times, in order to
help build for the future
of Kansas. wisely and nroner1v

sn;ders That Hunt Fish.

There are certain large sea spiders
two feet frcm toe to toe, called Colo
sendeis gigas, that live in the water
and feed entirely upon mollusks and
worms.
The carnivorous wolf spider, an am
phibious inhabitant of the tropical re-
gions of South America, is said to pre-
fer a fish diet, though it is not avefse
to eating mice, young birds and even
snakes, resembling in this respect the
theraphosidae, or bird catching spiders,
of India and Queensland. some OF
which equal a rat in size.
The collosendeis is the most form1dar
BILE specimen of the spider family,

and possessing twelve long. hairy legs.

attacks fish several times larger than
itself and after biting them through
the back and singing them to death
gluts itself by sucking the juices from
the bodies of it's victims

BURIED, He PLEADS TO DIE

One Of Two, Fated In a Ditch, Urges
That His Throat Be Cut.
Williamsport, Pa, Sept. 29.-George
Hoffman, forty-eight years old, and
Frank Henderson, fifty years old, were
killed by the cave-in of ditch in
which they were working.
They were laying pipe while other
workmen were filling in another por-
ton, and Hoffman struck the dirt that
was piled high above their heads
above the ditch with his trowel.
He was enjoined by his companion
to be careful, and the latter had no
more than got the word of warning
from his mouth when the mass Of dirt
rolled down on the men, imprisoning
them.
Henderson, who was STOPPING over
when caught, was nearly covered, but
Hoffman was caught standing upright,
kend as the heavy dirt pressed against
his chest and prevented breathing he
begged the other workmen to cut his
throat.
The workmen labored frantically in
an effort to uncover the two men, but
death came in a few minutes, before
the diggers had made an impression
on the heavy fall of earth.

In Borneo winged creatures are e.
eountered where one would least ex-

there is the flying fox, the well known
fruit eating bat, which the Malays call
"kruang." They may be seen almost
any evening winging their steady
fight often at a great elevation well
out of range of shotgun. The flying
squirrels as evening twilight c1mes
are also seen. They glide down Il I'm

Of skin between the fore and hind

sustain them in their glide. They are
of some size, but are quite harmless.

on charge of kidnapping an eight.
months-old baby from Reading, Pa,
Sept. 20, was taken back to that city
by Constable Leslie A. Strubell.
According to the constable the wo.

the child from the home of its grand
faher.
When the child was younger Mrs.
Fletchorn, it's mother, wanted some
person to adopt it. Mrs. Keilman made
application for the baby, but Mrs.
F1etchorn was opposed to Mrs. Keil-
man taking the infant.
Later Mrs. Keilman called at the
home of the parents of Mrs. Fletchorn
and, representing herself as another
person, to whom Mrs. F1etchorn had
promised the infant, got possession OF
it and left. Keilman says his wife last
January underwent an operation which

Somerset, Pa, Sept. 90 Attorney
Harvey M. Berkeley, of this city, Bull

extent of $4,000.
This fact was disclosed in the Som

failure to realize his congressional am

Berkeley has been missing from
Somerset since Aug. 81. He was last
seen in Uniontown, where he obtained
$500 on personal check drawn on a
Somerset bank. For many years prior
to 1906 he was cashier of the First

not by the Chicago beef trust. but
Independent Argentine packers whom
the Chicago trust is trying, literally,
to freeze out of Argentine by under
selling them in the Liverpool and Lon
don markets.
In the last ten years the Chicago
interests have lost no chance to Grip
pie the Argentine Independents by un-
derselling in British markets.. On nu-
merous occasions American meat has
been withdrawn from the American
market and shipped to England, and
that, too, at times when it could have
been sold at a greater profit in the
United States than in England.
The beef trust, however, always has
been strongly bent on capturing the
South American and Australian cattle
industry, and it has been willing to
sacrifice American customers to carry
forward it's project below the equator.
The New Zealand meat trade is an
other prize for which the American
beef trust is aiming. A large number
of calves are being slaughtered and
sent to Canada, and the Swift inter-
ests of Chicago are building pack
ing house at Brisbane, New South
Wales.

MEAT EATERS AT
MERCY OF TRUST
Cattle Are Cheaper, But People
Pay More For Food.
PLAYING A WORLD GAME
Chicago Packers Are Seeking Foreign
Markets at the Expense of the
American.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Although a
bulletin of the department of labor,
now being scattered throughout the
country by the government, assures
the public that the retail price of meat
has gone up to 16 per cent in the
last fifteen months, the beef trust is
buying, and has been buying, cattle at
Chicago at an average of cent and
half pound less than year ago.
For example, in the trade week end
ing Sept. 20, 1913, top native beef cat
tie, live weight, were bought a. Chica-
go by the packers at $40 to $3.50 per
hundred pounds. The packers, in the
week ending Sept. %, 1912, paid at
Chicago for the same grade of beef
$40 to $11 per hundred pounds.
The figures quoted for both weeks
are for steers weighing from 1850 to
1900 pounds, The difference between
the top prices is $1.70 per 100 pounds
This means that the packers are get
ting a bullock of average size-say
14OO pounds-at $3.50 less than the
price they paid year ago.
Wholesale beef prices now vary
from half cent to cent pound
lower than a year ago for the week
ending Sept. "a. The difference, equal
to 81 to $14 per bullock, is pocketed
by the packers as an extra profit.
Beef at retail now sells at the same
price as year ago, so that the public
is being skinned" to the extent OF
more than $23 on every average car
cass of beef sold in the United States.
The packers are buying sheep and
hogs at price slightly under that of
last year, but the wholesalers must
pay from one to three cents more q
pound than last year. The consumer
pays about the same as last year for
lamb, but pork has advanced from two
to five cents a pound.
There is no evidence to show that
the Chicago packers ever have altered
the determination they formed when
they first entered the Argentine field
ten years ago. That determination was
to seize and monopolize the South
American meat trade for the beneht,
not of the United States, but of Eu-
rope They went into Uruguay and in
to Paraguay for the same purposes
They have adventured into Australia
and New Zealand with the idea Of CO.
tering for the meat trade of the HIM

had it gone to the west it would have
