To Provide Working Funds
During Legislative Session

A condition has long existed in our
State. whereby much inconvenience
has been caused in the State institu-
tons through no fault Of the State Off
Gals but the present law governing
the management of said institutions,
and that is, they have been hampered
for working funds during the session
Of the Legislature. This condition
comes about through the fact that the
State appropriation bills are the last
three months of the Legislative year
no appropriation is available for
carrying on their business.
1t might also be said this year that
the much wanted and far-heralded
surplus left by the outgoing Demo-
cratic administration has been traced
by all the detectives and other officials
attached to the auditors and treas
urer's departments and finally run
downfall is, cornered, for it was
very much run down when cornered.
In fact. it has been found to be just
about large enough to take care Of the
unpaid debts left over by the same
party that left the surplus. That is,
it was possible to find about 100000
cash left in the State treasury. Then
began to arrive bills with the 1916
date attached thereto. Part OF them
have been paid out Of that surplus and
enough more have since bobbed up to
take care Of the remainder Of the
great Democratic balance. surplus, etc.
But to do away with the annoyance
OF the State institutions and depart
ments being left without working
funds during the Legislative period, it
has been thought best to provide TO-.
the emergency by law, hence State
Auditor Roy L. Wardwell and the at
torney generals department have
agreed on a measure, recently intro

H. c. Of |. TAKES UP
RESIDENCE IN JAPAN

TOXIC, Feb. 6.-That modern terror,
the High Cost of Living, has today in
vaded Japan, country long famed for
feeding and clothing it's people on a
mare pittance. 1t is estimated in eco
nomic circles here that prices of all
kinds of goods have increased an aver
age of 80 per cent.
Staple commodities are included in
the general boosting of prices. Sugar
has increased from 20 to 80 per cent,
salmon. so to 100 per cent; wine, 20
per cent; beans, 80 to 40 per cent;
grain and canned goods, 10 to 20 per
cent. and fuel, 20 per cent. The cost
of wearing apparel has also gone up.
Also rice.
The war is made to indirectly
shoulder the blame for Japan's unusual
economic situation
But conditions differ according to
the commercial status of each nation"
says the Mocha Shimbhn in comment
irg on the high cost of living's con-
quest of Nippon. Among the causes
that underlie the rise in Japan's mar
ket prices, are the increased cost Of
war materials, the prosperity of for
eign trade and the abundance of
money. The redundancy of gold and
the expansion of convertible notes
must also be said to have significant
influence.
