May Want an Appropriation.
Senator Emmerson Carey of Hutch
inson. who was in Topeka this week,
admits that a request for an appro-
priation for the Hutchinson state fair
isn't as remote as it might seem. How
ever, the Hutchinson salt packer will
not admit-just at this time-that an
appropriation will be sought to main
tain the Reno county. show and that
the state is to be asked to finance the
enterprise. .

In 1913 the bill passed the senate
