State Institutions Not a Bit
Backward in Requests.
More Than 4 Millions Alone
Wanted for Buildings.
sOL0Ns ON An INVESTIGATION
Tour By Committees Over State
Today and Sunday.
Large Portion of Appropria-
tions From State Schools.

State Institutions want $4,321,947 for
their building programs during the
next biennium, according to a budget
submitted to the joint ways and means
committee by James A. Kimball, state
manager. Total appropriations for the
institutions as asked in the budgets
reach $S,624,970 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1922. and $7,911.425
for 1923. r.
Many of the legislative members are
spending the weekend at state institu-
tons. Regular committees and SUBJ

State School Demands.
A large portion of the demands for
new buildings are at the big state
schools. The university wants $21o,-
000 additional to the medical school at
Rosedale, $300,000 for addition to
library. 100000. for completion of the
administration building and $4,000
for other buildings and improvements.
The agricultural college wants
s384.00o for new wing for its agri-
cultural building: 100000 for addi-
$500, 900 for home economies building
and $4,000 for Improvement of the
auditorium. .
None of the big institutional appro-
priations will be taken up until late
in February A month will be requir-
ed to complete hearings and enable
the committees to draft bills. There
IS little chance that either house will
consider any of the big appropriations
in the next month. Usually these
bills are cleaned up in the closing days
of the legislative session.
Needs in Topeka.
The industrial institute in Topeka
wants $4,000 heating plant, two new
teachers cottages to cost $4,000 each,
az new hospital building to cost $10,-
000 and completion of the boys dor
mitory at an expense of $4,000.

tional equipment and improvements
costing $4,000 are asked for the hos
pital.
Two new cottages to cost 100000
each are asked for the boys industrial
school north of Topeka. These build
ing are replace structures condemned
by the state fire officials. A $4,000
extension to the dairy barn, $500 for
repairing the power plant, SIS, 900 for
new. lands, a $500 residence for the

Chicago weekly Grain and provisions

Chicago, Jan. 22-severe declines in the
wheat market this week have been accom-
panied by much talk OF exporters trying
to resell and about untoward business con-
diuons in Europe. Compared with week
ago, wheat this morning was down 124c to
l515e bushel. corn lower, 61ac to CSC, oats
or &c to 49sc and provisions 15c to soc.
Bears obtained control of the wheat mar
ket chiefly after gossip became current that
Italy had cancelled some of her contracts
Tor wheat bought in the United States. Not
outstanding assertions that the amounts
were small, belief spread that European re-
selling might be a big factor if Argentine
began to ship feely. l.
Big receipts of corn exercised a bearish
influence on the corn market and upon oats
as well. Both cereals touched the lowest
prices since 1916. -rr
Provisions weakened in line with grain
and hogs.
