state to include the act with others passed by the legislature and ap- proved by the governor when the acts were advertised, was the action as in- stigated in the lower court. The fair association lost in the lower court and, few weeks ago, the case was appealed
 The decision handed down by Cir cult Judge Hendrix in the case insti- tuted by State Agricultural Commis- sioner John H Pape to test Governor Hays veto of the appropriation bills passed by the last Legislature is caus- ing much concern among the credi- tors of the state. If the decision is sustained by the supreme court it means that an additional $600,000 in state interest will be on the market before the converting of the next Leg 1slature with a depleted treasury to meet them. It was contended in tine circuit court that the veto is void be- cause the governor failed to issue a proclamation vetoing the appropria- tion items. This is made mandatory by the constitution and the supreme court several years ago so held. The last Legislature appropriated S3,600,- 900 with only $3,000O00 estimated revenue for the biennial period.
 If the governors veto of $600,000 is permitted to stand the state will be in position to meet all outstanding warrants up to August this year. Ac- cording to figures compiled the state will be in the neighborhood of $3,0o0,- 900 behind when the next Legislature meets and in the meantime state war rants will greatly depreciate in value. Some predict that they will be selling as low as 60 cents before the 1917 Legislature convenes to handle the situation. Business men furnishing the state institutions with supplies are already making inquiries as to how the state can pay them after August, when the funds of the state will be entirely exhausted and no money in sight for more than six months The 1915 tax collections will all be in the treasury and paid out by the last of July.
 In a recent talk with Miss Mary McCabe, chairman of the Safety Com mittee of the Fire Prevention Asso- citation, Governor Hays said that he hoped the people of the state would observe the Fourth this year in as sane and as safe a fashion as possi- ble.

''Let them buy flags and hold patriotic celebrations, instead of buying fireworks and causing needless loss of life" Miss McCaDe is outlin- ing plans for a safe and sane observ- ance of the Fourth of July and hopes to be able to interest the club women of the state in the movement.
