The Hutchinson News has been do
ing little figuring. 1t finds that Re
no county last year spent $91, 500 on
its roads. This sum practically all
went into the grading and mainten-
ance of dirt roads. Only a small pro-
portion of it was spent for perma-
nent roads.
Yet $91,500 would pay interest on
100000 bonds, and that amount
of bonds would pay for the construc-
tion Of 80 miles of permanent roads
The News concludes the county that
puts $4,000 annually into roads that
in wet weather are mud holes, and in
dry weather a series of chuck holes,
is throwing its road money to the
birds.
Reno county is not alone in this.
Practically every county in Kansas is
following the same short-sighted pol
icy. The only road money that ac-
tually pays is that which is invested
in permanent roads. When win Kan

JUGGLING THE FIGURES.

Explanation has been asked of APP
arently glazing discrepancies be-
tween Republican and Democratic fig
ures, in the matter of appropriations,
for instance. There are, of course,
Various ways in which figures can be
jlggled, but in discussing appropri-
a ions, the Democratic leaders almost
/ Invariably include only so much of
he funds appropriated as they be-
eve 1t will be necessary to pay out
during the approaching fiscal year
whereas the Republicans include in
the total not only all that must be
paid during the coming fiscal year
tut all for which government offic-
ills are authorized to go in debt dur
ing the approaching fiscal year. For
Instance, there was provided by con-
gress, to be expended this year for
fighting equipment-that is ships,
guns and ammunition-$139, 345,-

The nomination OF Myron T Her

election, of course, and this assures
to the Republican senate which is to
come in next March member who
will be able to contribute great deal
TO the task of reforming the rural
credits law which the Democrats have
just placed on the statute books but
which they themselves do not expect

next spring. BY that time a Repub-

HOW ABOUT 1T NOW?

The Dickinson County News a few
months ago was very indignant over
a suggestion that the chase after Villa
should have begun promptly and not
have dragged two weeks and quoted
our own Fred Funston" as saying
that it would not have been safe to
start until the tagging orders from
Washington finally rounded up a
force to go into Mexico. 1t trusted
Funston and pointed with pride to his

commended that the militia be sent
home and Pershing's troops with
drawn-without accomplishing any
thing except getting few soldier
boys massacred Is Funston right

UNPARALLELED ExTRAyAGANCE.

The long session of the Sixty-fourth
congress will have appropriated ST.
: Toe, 100000 before adjournment.
This is nearly half billion more than
was appropriated the last year of the
civil war, says the Globe Democrat.
The exact figures for 1865 we're ST.
295, 099,28 These lavish ex-
penditures are not due altogether to
preparedness, as the Democrats would
/ fain have us believe. Senator Curtis
in a recent senate debate showed
that the 1917 increase over
1916 will be $515;446,670.62 The
total increases for preparedness will
not exceed $500, 100000. This in
cludes the $2O,O00,OO0 for an armor
plant and $20,O00,O0O for a nitrate
plant. This leaves an increase of
over $125, 100000 aside from any
item that might be called a part of
the preparedness program.
This seems extravagant enough,
but the comparison is with a Demo-
cratic congress. When the compari-
son is made with the recent Republi-
can congresses" the Baltimore plat
form condemned for "profligate
waste it is worse still. At the close
of the Sixty-third congress appropria-
tions had been made to the amount of
$2,231, 100000 for the biennium.
This was 100000 more than
was appropriated by the last Repub-
lican congress. If the short session
of the present congress should equal
the record of the long session, and it
may exceed it, the total appropria-
lions will reach $1,000, 100000, or
nearly a billion and half more than
those of the last Republican congress.
There are increases for every sin
gle department, except pensions. The
death angel has permitted some re-
auctions in pensions. There have
been 10000 offices created, at an an
nual cost of 100000. In the light
of such performances. it is interest
ing to reread the Baltimore economy
plank: I'VE denounce the protiigate
waste of the money wrung from the
people by oppressive taxation through
the lavish appropriations of recent
Republican congresses, which have
kept taxes high and reduced the pur-
chasing power of the peoples toll,
We demand return to that simple
ity and economy which benefits a
democratic government and a reduc-
ton in the number of useless offices,
the salaries of which drain the sub
stance of the people"

FUNSTON AND BAKER.

General Fred Funston, who knows
war policies from A to and who has
been on the border six months after
having been sent to Vera Cruz and
then jerked back again, recommends
that the militia be sent home so the
boys can return to work and care for
their families, and that Pershing' S
troops. who are stranded $50 miles
down in Mexico. come to the border.
Secretary of War Baker, who was
a nice lawyer Of Cleveland, and said
when appointed six months ago. that
he knew nothing of the requirements

LAST YEARS CORN TO BE
SALVATION OF KANSAS

Topeka. Aug. 29.-The fact that
Kansas farmers had 37,614,434 bush
els of last years corn stored in their
bins this spring may to a consider
able extent relieve conditions which
might have been caused by the short
age of this years crop, according to
j. G. Mohler, secretary of the state
board OF agriculture, who issued a
report based ON assessors returns on
March l. The report shows that 1 s.
3S7,525 bushels of last years wheat
was stored in the state at that time

from the standpoint of naval con-
Istruction that has occurred in many
"a long day. In view of the condition
of the treasury and Secretary Nc
Adoos insistence that all heads of
departments so handle their work as
to make the bills come in as far in
the future as possible, there is con
siderable suspicion among Republic
cans that after the preparedness
program has been duly authorized
for election purposes, there will be a
slump, so that the next administers
ton will have to pay the bills.

Kansas City, Aug. Tramp,

They are coming to Kansas City
from every part of the country. From
Montana to Massachusetts,, from the
Dakotas to the Gulf, the Union veter-
ans of the Civil war are gathering
here to meet their old comrades in
the half-centenniaI national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-

old associations, to fraternize as
brothers in blood and to grow young
again for a time as they recount the
stirring days of 81 to IS.
At 10 o'clock last night it was es-
timated that 10000 of the old sold
iers had arrived in Kansas City. The
first rush came yesterday afternoon.
Every veteran who was unaccom<'
panied by younger person or who
had not prepared in advance for his
own accommodations was carefully
attended to by the committee and the
ever-able and always-present Boy
Scout.
Today is expected to become ban
ner day in arrivals. The committees

arrive, even though the number
reaches $4,000 or more
Already the hotels are well-filled,
some of them being entirely reserved,
but there are ample rooms on record
at committee headquarters for the
accommodation of every old soldier
who comes to the city for the encamp-
ment.

APATHETIC SPECTACLE.

Rarely has campaign seen a more
pathetic spectacle than the New York
World. which is laboring to support
Wilson with signs and groans which
would move a stone idol to tears. On
May 8, 1910, the World, discussing
Mr.. Hughes trust record" said,
Gov. Hughes drafted the law for
bidding corporations TO contribute to
campaign funds. For his distinguish
ed and conspicuous service and sue
cess in securing better control of
great trust conspiracies' Gov. Hughes
need not fear comparison with any
man of his time, however exalted in
place or however heavily armed with
political power" And on May II,
1910, the World said of Gov. Hughes,
Ike dictated no nominations, con-
trolled no convention, trafficked in
no patronage; made no bargains with
office-holders or office-seekers. He
has rewarded nobody for supporting
him and punished nobody for oppos-
ing him. What influence he has
welded over public opinion has come
through his appeals to the voters
Now the World, in its

with habit of telling the truth as
it finds it. is with the Hughes special
train He writes from Seattle:
1.-THE state of Washington presents
an interesting political situation.
Four years ago the state was carried
by Roosevelt. 1t has been a hot-bed
of Progressiyism. 1t still is. 1t
wanted Roosevelt nominated for
president at Chicago. There is per-
haps no state in the Union where
-'Teddy' has more admirers in pro-
portion TO the total population. 1t Is
a dry" state having voted for state
wide prohibition two years ago.
THE lumber industry here has
been seriously hurt by the removal
of the duty on lumber 1t has en-
abled the Canadian mills to bring
in their lumber. but 1t has not reduc-
ed the cost of lumber in this country.
II haven't found anybody who ven
lures to claim that Wilson has the
smallest chance to carry Washington
next November. This state is conced-
ed to Hughes. A Republican COVER
nor will succeed GOV. Lister. Politi-
cal observers here state that Idaho
and Oregon are just as certain to go
for Hughes in November as this
state"

lie placed in one box, and the ballots
{ )ntaining county and township can
didates in another. There will be

the state and national ballots voted
up to that time will be turned over
to this second board to be counted,

TELL THE TRUTH.

Mr.. Wilson'S campaign committee,
makes 20 claims for Wilson's admin
listration Among them are:
IAN eight-hour law applying to
work done for the government as well
as work done by the government.
IAN eight-hour provision for post
office clerks and carriers
IAN eight-hour provision applica-
BILE to civilians engaged in the manu-
facture of ordnance and powder for

THE children's bureau law to pro-
mote the welfare Of children and to
devise means preventive of the ne
cessities of retarding development OF
the child.
1.-THE Industrial commission law
to investigate the entire subject OF
industrial relations.
THE phosphorus match law to
protect the health of workers in the
match industry.
THE Department OF Labor Law,
creating a department with secre-
tary who shall be member of the
Presidents Cabinet.
THE parcel post law"
Mr.. Mccormick is a good claimer
but rather short on veracity. Almost
half his measures were passed by the
Republicans. Lest anyone think that
this is a groundless assertion we
herewith furnish the record, which
can easily be verified:
(Eight-hour law applying to work
done for the government) - effect
March /, 1913. signed by Mr. Taft.
tEight-hour provision for postof-
flee employes) In effect generally,
August "a, 1912. Eight-hour section
in effect March 4, 1918, signed by
Mr.. Taft.
(Eight-hour provision applying to
civilians engaged in manufacture OF
ordnance and powder for govern
ment.) In effect January /, 1913,
signed by Mr.. Taft.
children bureau law In eff
feet April 8, 1912, signed by Mr..
Taft.
Industrial commission law In
effect August 90, 1912, signed by
Mr.. Taft.
phosphorus match law Enact
ed in 1912, effective as to the import
alton OF white phosphorus matches
January /, 1918, and as to the manu-
facture of such matches, July L.,
1913. Signed by Mr.. Taft.
Department of Labor law In
effect March 4, 1913. signed by Mr.
Taft.
(Pareel post law In effect Janu-
airy /, 1913, signed by Mr.. Taft.
Any statement hereafter emanat
ing from Mr. Mccormick will be sub
jected to the closest scrutiny. The
errors in his first effort are inexcus-
able and can only arouse resentment
among labor men and social work
ers, No class is more instant than
labor to condemn and punish these
who without foundation lay claim to
its gratitude.

padding Of the record?
