WARDS OF STATE COST LITTLE
Unified Management System Shown
to Be Success by Report
of Auditor Knapp.

State Auditor Fred Knapp believes
that Kansas has the business manage
ment of state institutions down to a
science, according to his report OF the
work OF his department during his last
term of office. Mr.. Knapp will be sue
ceeded by Norton Turner, his first as
sistant the first of the year. when
the winning state candidates take Of
flee. In his report Of the last biennial
period Knapp says:
Few tar payers realize the small
ness Of the proportion OF the states
expenditures which is used for the az
tual administration of stat govern
ment as compared with the amount ex-
pended by the state in the support Of
its educational charitable, penal and
patriotic institutions
LESS than cents out of each dol
lar expended by the state Is used IN
the support of the executive branch,
but a trifle more than cents main
tains the entire judicial system of the
state and the legislative expenses will
average less than l cent. The people
of Kansas have just right to be proud
of the manner in which her insane and
other dependents are cared for and
OF the high standards maintained in
her various educational institutions.
mo state in the Union has boiled
down the management of all Of its in
situations so nearly under one head
and bushes; management as has Kan
sas All of it's institutions. with the
single exception of the State Soldiers
home and Mother Bickerdyke annex
are under the complete management
and control of one board and one
business manager.
Purchases of supplies Of every kind
| and description for all of these insti
tutions is handled by the business
manager, and the effect of grouping
these purchases is to enable the pur
chasing in such large quantities as tC
demand, in many instances, less than
| wholesale prices. We believe that
nothing more clearly reflects the true
Kansas spirit than does the high
plane upon which her institutions
have been supported and managed"
