Kansas now has 1913 new laws with
three more days for the legislature
to add to the list, That is the record
as it stood when both branches adj
journed the other day. There have
been 667 bills introduced in the senate
and 727 in the house-a total of 1894
for the session That doesn't break
any records for few or large numbers
Of bills introduced. The committees
have killed $40 bills and more are yet
to be killed. There are nearly one
hundred bills which just smothered to
death in the committees. They never
came out with a report either way.
There were sixty-three senate bills on
the house calendar and fifty-three
house bills on the senate calendar
recently. There were sixty-one senate
bills which died on the calendar on
the senate and sixty-five house bills
which died on the calendar in that
branch. The house had fifty-two
house bills still in committees and the
senate had thirty-four. The house and
senate together have killed 1O7 bills
on the floor. There are two or three
appropriation bills yet to be intro
duced before the final total of meas
ures can be listed. 1t appears impos-
sible now for the. legislature to enact
another hundred laws in the three re
naming days, SO it may make a rec
ord in small number of laws passed
There were 335 new laws passed by

TIE STATE IS SPENDING MORE
Total Appropriations of Present sss-
sion Are Expected to Reach
Twenty-one Million Dollars.

The total appropriations Of the
present session of the legislature prob
ably will amount to something near
81 million dollars. This will be an
increase Of 81 million over appro-
priations of two years ago.
The schools and educational institu-
tons will come in for million. The
increase in educational appropriations
has been given largely for building
This increase was demanded because
for twelve years Kansas has not been
making appropriations for buildings.
1t has had no building program, such
as is necessary to keep the institu-
tions up to standard The legislatures
since 1909 have practically abandoned
the policy of granting appropriations
for buildings.
The increase in the building appro-
priations for institutions of the state,
aside from the schools, also has been
made necessary because of the neg
Iect of former legislatures Practic-
ally all the increase in the appropri-
ations this year has been caused by
the building program. AS a matter
of fact, it probably will develop that,
aside from the buildings provided for,
the appropriations this year will be
lower than those of two years ago,
| altko -gh every school in the state has
been given a fair increase in salary
allowances.
The budget two years ago called for
| 171a million and there were few ap-
propriations for buildings in the 1913
budget.
While the amount seems large on
the face of the appropriations grant
ed, the people of Kansas will pay, in
direct taxes, only about one-half Of
this amount.
The state raises about one-half its
taxes through indirect taxation, and
by fees from the various institutions
The total taxation in the state, fol
all purposes, state, county, city, town
ship, school and special taxes, will
amount to about so million dollars
But about one-haII the total is r1iseC
indirectly, and the state taxes always
have been merely nominal. In TIT
year 1919, with total appropriation
of 1712 million, the state take
amounted to only about million dol
lars.

The house has passed a bill to stop
the state institutions Judging on
building appropriations. In previous
years the legislature would make an
appropriation for building and the
next legislature would come back and
find that the money had all been spent
on foundation and the institution
was back asking for 1large additional
funds to put a roof over the founda-
ton. This bill will stop this. 1t also
defines more strictly the duties of the

tion.
