/ herewith submit the City Budget,
for paying expenses of the City OF
Hays for the year 1922, to the tax
payers of Hays, as approved by the
City Commissioners.
This is required by law and is a
very good thing because it allows the
Taxpayers of the City to see how
their money is being spent.
The levy, as noted, is higher this
year than ever before. This is due to
the fact that in the Interest, Sinking.
and Paving Funds there never was
sufficient levy MADE TO cover the
amounts required. Besides this, there
was no levy made at all in 1918 for
paving. In 1919, the Paving Bonds,
that were due, were not paid for lack
of funds. Also, due to errors in fig
uring the rolls, there is an additional
amount of the regular assessments on
paving carried by the City. In other
words, the City has always run behind
on these funds until they are entirely
depleted =. .+t
By closely studying the tabulated
figures and comparing with the
amounts raised in previous years! it.
can readily be seen why this is so. The
City has to make a levy for what
should have been levied in 1917, 1913
1919 and 1920.

American Clothing Firms Have Become Alert to Big Field .

By Associated Press

Manila, P. l., March 12.-That American firms are on the alert for business in the far east was demonstrated by the re- ceipt of letters here from clothing man. ufacturers of the United States. offering to furnish trousers in any quantity or grade of material for the male popula- tion of the Philippine islands.
 These offers grew out of the publlca- ton in the United states of the provis- ions of bill introduced in the leglsla- ture early in December by Senator Lope K Santos, requiring the non-Christlan tribes of northern Luzon and of the ls- land of Mindanao to wear more cloth ing. The bill has never been reported on by committee and leaders of the senate say it probably will not be revived dur ing the present session. One large man ufacturer of clothing in Chicago wrote to Santos:
 .tThe writer was interested to note the enclosed clipping from Chicago news paper. As one of the largest clothing specialty manufacturers in this country we are in a position to supply trousers III most any grade or character or material at prices that will prove attractive IL at any time your government wishes bids. we ask to have the privilege of sup hitting our prices and samples.

Lippman's Outline of Purpose of Gathering Is Feature

Briggs, pres ident of Radcliffe college, and an ad- dress by Walter Lippman, editor of the New Republic, outlining the purposes of the gathering.
 The American Liberal for the last two years" said Mir. Llppman, has led the fight against hysteria. The fight Is not yet over. In fact, there is to be, if t has not already secretly begun, q heresy hunt in the American colleges similar to the one just carried through against the churches. The attack, when it comes, will be directed not at you personally but at those members of the faculty and at those administrative officers who en- courage or tolerate the kind of freedom in which you believe. Don't shirk that fight when it comes Create student opinion behind those teachers and uni versty officials who like the president of this university, have honored America and themselves by yielding on no essen tial point to the prevailing intolerance."
