Who WILL PAY IT?
Premium for Insurance ON the Fair
Grounds Buildings Has Become
Subject of Controversy.

Whether or not the Shawnee coun-
ty commissioners are responsible for
payment of back insurance premiums
on the buildings at the Topeka fair
grounds under the new contract which
was drawn up November 20 between
the commission and the state fair as
sociation was a question of contro-
versy at the board meeting today.
With W. w. Webb as spokesman, a
mum Der of local insurance men and
state fair officers, including c. G..
Blakely, Sam Lux, Charles Mitchell,
Sad Hodgins, Scott Hopkins and 9TH
ers, appeared at the court house this
morning and put the matter up to
the county.
The friendly controversy among
the county and insurance men and
state fair association began after the
contract was drawn up and signed.
Under the contract, the county agreed
to pay all insurance premiums. The
state fair officials and insurance men
claim that the contract included
about 1891 insurance premiums due
when the contract was drawn. The
county commissioners answer that
they did not contract for the, inSur-
ance and therefore were not liable
for it and were only liable for insur-
ance contracted for by them after or
at the time the contract was made.
After an argument, which lasted
for more than an hour, no final set
tlement was made. Those interested
in the controversy state. that it is
probable that the question will be put
in a friendly way before one of the
Shawnee district Judges for decision.
The expense of insuring the fair
grounds buildings, which was assumed
by the county under the new lease,
is about $1,000 n wear

He IS GLOOMY Gus
Secretary Garrison Tells Presi-
dent of Big Army Needs.
COnscriptiOn if Plan Fails, War
Secretary Declares.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Secretary
Garrison declares in his annual report
to the president that if the administra-
ton plan for a continental army fails,
the United States will face some form
of compulsory military service.
In what many men in official life
characterize as the most remarkable
report ever made by a secretary of
war, Mr.. Garrison passes quickly over
the widespread routine activities of
the war department and devotes prac-
tically all his words to the subject of
military preparedness, the need for
which he sums up by saying:
so long as right and wrong exist in
the world there will be an inevitable
conflict between them. The right
doors must be prepared to protect and
defend the right az against the
wrong"
Unsparing in his arguments in an
swer to those who would have no in
crease in the country's military pre-
paredness, Secretary Garrison declares
that the American people must view
their responsibilities and measure up
to them and then goes on to take up
the various arguments of the opposi-
ton separately.
