my observation on a recent

tricts, is to find it all in first class
condition and a great amount OF
good pasture being had from

to have very rank growth for
this time of the year. The con.

Special Correspondence

quently called attention to the
fact that under Republican rule
each succeeding Republican ad-
ministration raised the state tax
rate. The Press Bureau has
also noted the fact that during
the first year of the administra-
ton, Governor Hodges succeed
ed in keeping the state tax rate
from being increased and has
said that in view of the situation
this was wonderful accomplish
ment.
When Governor Hodges came
into Office, every institution in
the state was governed by a Re-
publican Board, and the esti-
mates from all Departments of
the amount of money necessary
to run the state for the fiscal
years l9l3-14 and 1914-1S, had
been made. BY turning to the
report, of the State Auditor for
lq11-12, it will be found that Re-
publican State Officers and Re-
publican state boards, were de-
manding appropriation amount
ing to $11, ,3s9,3Ss to run the
state for biennium of 1914-15,
which was an increase of $3,013.
1886 over the amount appropriate
ed by the legislature of 1911, and
that State Auditor Davis, who is
a very conservative, careful, man
and Republican, was only able
to suggest reduction of some
thing like one hundred thousand
dollars from these demands.
What would have happened to
tax payers of Kansas, had Re-
publican Governor and Repub-
lican legislature been elected in
1912, can readily be seen. That
Democratic Governor and legis-
lature succeeded in keeping ap.
preparations down to a point
which did not require raise of
tax rate, was something quite
remarkable.
A statement has been given
out to the effect that,it cost one
hundred and twenty thousand
dollars more to run the state
dnring the year 1913 under the
Hodges administration, than it
cost to run the state during the
year 1912 under the Stubbs ad.
ministration.
This simply confirms what
the Press Bureau has been say
ing, that is, that the "Topeka
Capital" and its "Me too satel-
lites are unable to stick to one
set of figures. Have they not
been claiming until now, that the
Hodges administration was cost
ing the state all the way from
one.half million to a million dol
Jars more than the Stubbs ad-
,mlnistratien? Now they fix the
figures at one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars for the
year 1913.
This statement ls mere Jug
Cling of figures, for they include
the one hundred and fifteen thou
sand dollars of deficiencies of
the Stubbs administration which
have been paid by the Hodges
administration. They neglect
to tell the people of the state that
the Hodges administration has
been building new insane hos
pital at Larned, and the new Tu-
berculosis Hospital at Norton,
which the Stubs administration
to build, although the
legislature Of 1911 appropriated
$15O,0eO therefor. They neg
lected to state that there was an
expense in 1913 of a session of
the legislature, amounting to
eighty thousand dollars and that
khere was no session OF the legis-
lature in 1912.
II was hardly fair to include an
item of this sort for which Gov
ernor Hodges and the Democrats
