THE BUDGET SYSTEM
CaPPer Says 1t Will Sound Death
knell to Pork Barrel

Topeka, Kansas, September 18th.
Among the forward looking measures
which Governor ,lCapper will urge the
next legislature to consider will be
the budget system for handling state
appropriations. President Wilson,
former President Taft and Governor
Hughes are staunch advocates of the
budget system In his recent speech
at Sparks, Kansas, the governor laid
particular emphasis on this issue as q
means of riding the state and the
nation of pork barrel legislation. ~
Il fought against the log rolling,
pork barrel politicians two years
ago." said Governor Capper. ssIf re-
elected l shall be delighted to keep
up that fight with all the earnestness
1 possess. The remedy is the budget
system. There is nothing that will
deal the pork barrel harder blow in
the Stats. The budget is complete
list of appropriations. The budget
system authorizes the governor to
present in advance to the legislature
a carefully itemized schedule of the
needs of the state, its departments,
its schools, its charitable institutions
and reformatories. The legislature
cannot add to the budget, but may
reduce items. After the legislature
has adopted the budget, it may pass
other appropriations if it likes,
but these appropriations are subject
to two safeguards the governors S
veto and the adoption by the legisla-
ture of a special tax levy to pay for
these additional appropriations
And the legislature that does
that unjustifiably will most certain
ly and mistakably hear from the
people. Its fate will be warning, if
any warning is needed, to all other
legislature that come after.
"With budget system for guild
ance of the legislature, running ex-
penses, maintainence charges and
estimates of needed improvements
will vary no more than they do in
any we'll conducted business, if the
same authority is given the governor
to disaIlow or approve them as is
given to the manager of every big
business. This kind of system will
come just as soon as the people de-
mand it, but it will never come until
they do demand it.
so long as I am governor I shall
continually do all / can TO make il
impossible to spend dollar of public
money other than honest and profit
ably. But governor should have
the power to compel this in the peo-
ple's- interest,"

Stockers and Feeders.-The presence

week promises well for the general
cattle market from this time on, al
though the yards are full of an
accumulation of two year old steers
and upwards for which not much can
be done this week, and it is a good
time to buy medium to plain cattle.

Packers are able to gain price con-
sessions for the moment, but the
whole situation is remarkably strong,
and hogs are cutting up at an
enormous profit to packers. Lard
ribs and barrel pork are neaiy twice
as high as year ago, and the margin
above live hogs is three times as
great as it was year ago. OF course,
packers have to figure on future
probabilities of the m market, but an
advance of a dollar a hundred on live
hogs would not equalize prices.

A BLOW TO ARBITRATION

On the insistence of the President,
almost without debate, Congress has
voted to increase the wages of a
group of railway employees.
Possibly wages should have been
increased. The Star doesn't know.
But neither does Congress. TIE Star
does know that such legislation could
not possibly have been obtained ex-
cept in a campaign year. 1t is hu-
initiating spectacle.
By insisting on this law and not
insisting at the same time on an ar
bitration measure, Mr.. Wilson is sim
ply inviting other groups to apply for
similar legislative help. He is en-
couraging them TO discard arbit-a-
tion and to bring sufficient pressure
on a yielding President to get results.
Arbitration of labor disputes is of
tremendous Importance In the long
run its only alternate is war The
Presidents action is the most serious
setback the cause of arbitration has
received in years--Kansas City Star.

State Wide Movement For Better
Towns And Better Communities

! H. b-5martS, a representative of the
| kansasGommunity Betterment Ser
wee spent an entire day here recently
interviewing leading citizens and
gathering data concerning social and
business conditions.
1t IS the work of the Kansas
Com munity Retirement Service, :"
Mr. Marts stated, ito gather and pre-
sent to the people of Kansas. facts
they should concerning their own
state and their own communities. If
Kansas country towns are to hold
their own, the people must know Just
what they will have to face in the
years to come. If Kansas people are
20 ayegood communities. good stores,
good markets, good churches, good
schools good roads, they must make
these Things themselves. The big
cities want all the men and money
! they can get from Kansas, but they
will never send to Kansas the men
and money needed to build up Kan
sas oommunities.
Mr.. Marts while here arranged for
publication in this paper series of
talks on community building by Wess
Goodwin, which will prove very inter-
eStlng Co our readers. Mr.. Goodwin
has given many years to the study of
economic questions, his writings are
widely read, and he is in great de-
mand as speaker before commercial
organizations. Mr.. Goodwin believes
that ifsthe country town Is to hold
its o~n,-it will do so only through
the cooperation of the farmer and
the merchant, as the prosperity of
each depends on the general pros
perity of the community.
Before taking the train, Mr. Marts
handed the editor a list of local men
and firms who had promised him
their warmest support and co-opera-]
tion along lines of community better
ment for this locality.
You have 3 number of real live
wire business and professional men
here; said Mr.. Marts, ssand if all
Your people will just take as much
interest in your town as these men
are taking-if they will cooperate
with these men and give them the
support they should have-the future
of your town is assured. But few
menscNnit do it ALL It takes an
earnest effort on the part of every
good citizen to make a good town
You have here men who are willing
and glad to give time and energy and
money to make your town better
town, and little encouragement and
help from other citizens will result1
in a great good to ALL !"
Below is the list handed US by Mr..
Marts. 1t includes the names of
some of the best business men in our
town and we gladly print it so our
readers may know some of the men
they can count on every time a good
movement is started for the advance
ment of our community.

And the training which the boys
need now is in the industrial pur-
suits. They need to know how to
handle creative establishments, how
to buy raw material. make the fin

made these days are the savings be-
tween the raw material and the man

the hands of the boys. If our city
is to be great and strong it will be
because the boys grow up to be
strong men-physically. morally and
mentally fit.
But they must have opportunities
They must be headed in the direction
which they are to go. They must
nave the "vision"-either OF the
