TO REMEMBER UNFoRTUNATEs.
Malcolm Gray Urges That Presents
Be Sent to Girls.

macOIm tray urges 1naG 3FeSeHIS
Be Sent to Girls.
Kansas women have been urged by
the state board of administration to
remember the girls in the state school
at Beloit and women on the Lansing
industrial farm. They seem to have
been forgotten by their own sex each
session of the legislature. Now the
state board wants a bit of Christmas
cheer for the girls and women from
the outside world.
In a statement this week Malcolm
Cray secretary of the board, showed
that the women had given little
thought of the needs of the women
except during a legislative session. At
that time, tho, they come to Topeka
and occupy space in the ladies lobby,
wayIay legislators with talks of need
ed reform and card index the men,
bers who refuse to vote for their bills.
Records which Gray produced this
week showed the women had sent the
girls at the industrial school a few
toilet articles and some talcum powder
with a few Bibles for the industrial
farm. The state school for boys on
the other hand had received thou
sands of dollars worth of contribu-
tions in the form of a swimming pool,
band instruments and uniforms, ath-
letic goods, skates and other articles
that bring joy to the kiddies
This year the women have been
urged by the state board to remember
their unfortunate sisters at Beloit and
Lansing with at least a few picture
post cards and perhaps a bit of Merry
Christmas greeting.

MEXICO HOLDS TO
FORMER DEMANDS
FOR RECOGNITION
STATEMENT LAST NIGHT
A Reassertion of Mexico's At
titude Was Brought About
by an Alleged Statement by
Henry Fletcher, American
Under Secretary of State,
Given to Newspapers.

Mexico, Aug. 3.-President Obre-
gon, still maintains his recently an
nounced policy relative to securing
recognition of the present Mexican
government by the United States.
The foreign Office last night made
public a statement that there was no
intention on the part of Mexico to
sign a treaty with the U. S. prior
to recognition and the whole atti-
tude of the government regarding
this matter had undergone no change.
This statement was called forth by
an interview attributed to Henry b.
Fletcher, American Under Secty. OF
State, who was interviewed at Wash
iington on Thursday by a director of
the newspaper Ell Universal. 1T is
idle to think of granting recognition"
Mr.. Fletcher is said to have asserted.
IF Mexico is unwilling to sign a
treaty of amity and commence. Wash
ington does not intend to make a
peremptory demand for the payment
of the Mexican foreign debt or the
payment of damages. The United
States is not making an exception in
the case of Mexico as the same
guarantees are being demanded of
Germany. and Greece.

There has been no effort to re-

distributed over the entire commun-
ity rich and poor.
THE reduction to 80 per cent of
the highest income and sur tax is ex-
pected by the experts to produce act
ually more revenue from these sour
ces than do the present much higher
rates. The present rates prevent trans
actions which involve applications of
the high rates and thus keep taxes
away from the government. Also they
drive money into tax free securities
to the distress of business and they
lead to fraud and evasions."
