Our Republican friends do not
tell the public that although they
drew 1897 900 OF the taxes of 1913
to pay 1912 bills in December,
1912, they also drew 10 per cent
more of the 1913 taxes from the
County TreaSurers within three
and one-half days after Governor
Hodges was inauguration jan
uary 18th, 1918, which was in
good part also consumed in pay
ing old bills that had been tided
over; and so Governor Hodges
was left with only rs per cent of
the taxes of 1913 to carry the ad-
miniStration through the year.
Our Republican friends are
diScreetly silent about the fact
that the previous Republican adj
ministration delayed the build
ing of Memorial Hall two years
and then left it in an unfinished
state for Governor Hodges to fin
iSh at an expense of $175,0OO.OO.
They never refer to the fact
that the last Republican admins
tration diSregarded the mandates
of the legislature of 1909 and 1911
ordering the building of the Lar
ned State hospital and the Nor
ton tuberculosis Sanitarium, be-
cause if they had done so, the
bankruptcy of that administra-
ton would have been disclosed.
Governor Hodges is building
both of these hospitals and one
of them is now receiving patients
and the other will be open Sep
TENDER /.
1t is not at all surprising that
our Republican friends want to
avoid giving Governor Hodges
any opportunity to meet them on
the stump and discuss these mat
tiers before the people of Kansas
as a jury. S. T. SEATON.

from office, but at that time the
Stubs administration had no
money of its own out of which
TO set aside anything. The only
funds then in the state treasury
was the unexpended portion of
the 1897, 900 of the 1913 taxes
which were drawn in December,
1912 to save the Stubs admins
tratioRfrom marking its warrants
mot paid for want of funds"
1t takes a good deal of nerve
for Gafford, or anybody else to
say that the Stubs adminiStra-
ton should have credit for this
fifty thousand dollars. 1t must
not be forgotten either, that un-
der the law which provided for
the creation of the sinking fund
with which to pay these bonds,
our Republican friends accumu-
lated only $4,000 from 1918 to
December 80, 1912. Remember
also that this $4,000 came out
of the general funds of the state
and that when Gafford and his
Republican State Central Com
mittee tell you that the Hodges
administration is drawing more
money from this general fund
than did the Stubs adminiStra-
ton, they are including the $780,
600, although during the entire
four years that Governor Stubs
was in office he did not have
enough surplus money in the
general fund to set aside any con-
siderable amount for the pur-
pose of paying off the state debt.
1t is not much wonder that Mr..
Capper does not want to meet
Governor Hodges on the stump
in joint debate. There are other
reasons besides the fact that Mr..
Capper is not much Of a public
speaker.

the fiscal year ending June 80,
1914, exceeded those of the pre-
viouS year by only seventeen
thousand dollars, and this excess
is more than accounted for by the
increased number of inmates to
be maintained during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914.
1t might also be pointed out
that while the old Board had the
aid of farm and garden product
during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1913, to the amount of $685.
10000, the new board on account
of the drOuth had considerably
less than half that much, and so
was compelled to 80 upon the
market and buy not only high
priced food for the inmates, but
feed for the horses, cattle and
hogs belonging to the various in
, Stitution farms.
When these things are taken
into light on the figures from
that which the Capital seeks to
convey.
1
But even if the new Board of
Control did spend eighty-seven
thousand dollars more than did
the old Republican Board, what
right have our Republican friends
to criticiSe? If one will turn to
the recommendations of State
Auditor Davis, now a candidate
for a third term, filed with Gov
ernor Stubs before he retired
from office, it will be found that
the old Republican Board of Con-
troll were demanding a half mil
lion dollars more money, for the
biennium 1913 to 1915, than was
actually spent by the new Board;
and that their estimates of the
needs of these charitable inStitu-
tons were approved by Auditor
Davis himself. So that if the new
Board got along with a half mill
lion less than the old Republican
Board and the State Auditor
thought to be necessary, the tax
payers Of the state should pat the
new Board on the back as eco
nomical administrators of public
affairs, instead of listening to the
criticisms of Mr.. Capper and the
Topeka Capital.
This week the State Treasurer
paid off $2ll, 1000 OF state bonds.
The press bureau repeats that
$4,000 of this amount was ia
ken out of funds belonging to
the Hodges administration. 1t is
true that fifty thousand dollars
of this one hundred and sixty
thousand dollars was set aside
on January /, 1918, a few daysbe-
fore Governor Stubs retired
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1914-07-24

ance of only $38,5O7.31, which
was turned in to the treasury in
the last twelve months of Repub-
lican rule.
The difference in favor of the
Hodges administration in a sin
gle year is $36,OOO.OO.
The report from the State Pen
itentiary at Lansing shows that
Warden Botkin'S actual expense
for maintenance and salaries is
eight thousand dollars less for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1914, than it cost under the Cod
ding administration for the year
ending June 30, 1918.
This, of course, does not in
clude the deficit of twenty thou
sand dollars which Codding
handed over to the Botkin admin
iStration; nor the twenty-five
thousand dollars which was used
out of the maintenance fund to
replace shops destroyed by fire
during the Codding adminiStra-
ton. Notwithstanding Governor
Stubs statement that Jerry Bot
kin is not a business man, the
books show that he did better
than COdding. And in this con-
nectiOn we must not overlook the
fact that on account of the drOuth
last year Botkin was deprived Of
the produce of the big farm and
garden, and so was compelled to
60 upon the open market and
buy not only high priced food
StuffS for the prisoners, but high
priced feed for the horses, cattle
and hogs belonging to the state.
The Topeka Daily Capital last
week endeavored to show that
the State Board of Control had
spent $S7, 100000 more money Out
of its maintenance and fee fund
than did the old Board of Control
under the Stubs administration
The figures are approximately
correct, but the inference of ex-
travagance which the Capital
sought to make does not follow
The old Board of Control had
large appropriations for build
ingS and other up-keep of the in
situations under their control. In
stead of making special appropri-
atoms for these purposes the leg
lSlature of 1913 authorized the
use of the fee funds of the differ
ent institutions for the purpose
of erecting permanent improve
mentS, so that while the old Board
used special appropriations for
this purpose the new Board made
its repairs and improvements out
of maintenance and fees.

ditures Of the present Board for

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

Topeka, Kansas, July 70, 1914.
Political day at the Ottawa
Chautauqua was attended by an
audience of between two and
three thousand people. 1t was
evident that the crowd was over
whelmingly with the Democratic
speakers. Every mention of the
National and State adminiStra-
: tioAS was answered with rounds
of applause, while criticisms were
received with silence. Franklin
county has always been a Repub-
lican stronghold and the temper
of the people who attended this
.chautauqua is significant as
showing the drift of the public
mind favorable to President Will
son and Governor Hodges.
The Press Bureau called atten-
.tion last week to the fact that the
State Board of Educational Ad-
miniStration had finished the
most successful year in the his
tory of the big state institutions
with an unexpended balance of
$219,OOO.OO; that the Hutchinson
Reformatory the end of the fiS-
cal year shows an unexpended
balance of $2O,OOO.OO; that the
State Board of Irrigation, instead
of spending the entire $125,OOO
appropriated has completed its
first years work and has on hand
an unexpended balance of more
than a hundred thousand dollars.
Now comes the state Account
ants Department and shows that
with a large increase of work, its
expense account was $5,717.O0 for
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1914, as against $6,717.71 for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1918.
Mr.. Gafford, the chairman of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee was State Accountant dur
ing the fiscal year 1912-191S, and
spent a good part of his time away
from the office attending to pri-
vate business.
The annual report of the Oil
Inspectors office for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914, shows
total collections of $S7,6S5.S4,
with a total expense of $1S,663.SS,
leaving a balance of $74,OO0OO

to the state treasury by that de-
partment during the year. Com

OUP HOLY GRAIL

Anyone who has gone through the
high school recalls the story told by
a New England poet OF the knight of
old who sailed forth from his castle
one fine morning in quest of the Holy
Grail. The story goes that the knight,
ere his proud charger had borne him
beyond the shadows of his castle bat
Elements. was accosted by a filthy beg
gar who p%iteously asked but a crust
OF bread.
The warrior. OF course. spurned the
wretch who dared accost him while
bound on so high a mission as that of
seeking out the Holy Grail. Years
passed and the bold knight seached In
vain for the phantom object. Finally.
broken in health and withered by
h%ardships, the knight rode back to his
vast estate. AS he was about to re-
enter the gate he vas accosted by n
hlthy beggar who asked but a crust
OF bread and a drink of water. The
knight gave a to the m%endicant's
pleading and %dismounting parted his
bread with the beggar and gave MIN to
drink out OF his own cup. It was the
same beggar whom the knight had
spurned when he set out to find the
Holy Grail. which typifed the Christ.
And. 10 and behold. as the aged and
broken knight fed the miserable beg
gar. n great light broke upon his soul.
for he discovered that In the act of
~succoring that wretched creature he
had found the Holy Grail, that which
ne a set out to hunt years before,
and which he had u%nknowingly passed
by at his own gate.
We recite the story because It II.
lustrates a condition which the peo-
pie of Anderson must face this winter
the question Of human distress
brought about by circumstances oyer
which the poor souls have no control.
Shall we be like the foolish knight?
Shall we spurn them ars1 60 ahead in
our search for the Holy Grail in for
eign fields. only to return broken and
wasted after years OF fruitless search.
Ing to find that we passed by the
coveted object here at our very doors

"e believe that the good people of
Anderson are going to be compelled to
give their attention to some measures

the sooner they realize the truth of
this and take the matter seriously In
