But Governor Capper Had An
other "Engagement.o

While Rome burned Nero played
his violin.
While the great issue of the state
educational appropriation hung in
the balance, waiting for word from
executive headquarters; while thir-
teen members of the senate ways and
means committee and two reporters
sat in a committee room and waited
for him to come and tell them where
to trim the big school budget so it
might fit the states ability to pay,
Governor Arthur Capper filled "an-
other engagement"
Last night the senate ways and
means committee expected to receive
the governor and hear his words of
wisdom on the school appropriations.
The governor had sent word he would
be glad to meet with the committee at
its first meeting. Last night the sem
ate adjourned to give the committee a
chance to meet with the states exec
utiVe. But when the committee met
it found that Governor Cappcr had
another engagement which prevented
his being there. The committee dis
persed at bed time without discussing
anything more important than the
purchase of a piece of island in the
Missouri river for the state penitenti-
airy.
And this morning the legislature
was not any nearer a settlement of the
educational finance deadlock than
when it adjourned last evening.
