COUNTY MAKING PROGRESS

COUNTY MAKING PROGRESS
1t will be noted from the above
that Sheridan County is making
substantial progress toward fnal.cial
recovery under the present admins
tration and is indeed a remarkable
showing especially in view of the fact
that prior to 1921 the previous admin
istrations have issued on the average
of $102,000.0O each year in Funding
BONDS so as to keep up with the ex-
penditures which they so extravaganza
ly practiced. Prior to 1921, there
were not only enormous sums of
Funding Bond money spent, but on
the average of $3.50, 10000 each year
which was collected in taxes, and in
addition to that between two and
three hundred thousand collected
from Roosevelt County.
LOSSES IMPENDING
There remains only two drawbacks
which will check the present progress
and that is the enormous sums which
Sheridan County stands to lose thru
the 1918 and the 1920 seed grain
swindles. Il is conservatively esti-
mated that these issues will cost the
county 100000 each year for years.
which amount will be required to take
up the losses which the taxpayers
must bear. In the absence of the re-
covery which Sheridan County made
from T. L. Beiseker, there would be
an additional loss of $235, 100000 to
make up, but this item seems now to
be safely secured, much to the relief
of the hard-ridden taxpayers Of Sheri-
dan county. ii

Seattle on the Alameda for Alaska
May II, and that he will probably go

twice-both when on his way to the
Westward and on his return trip
1t was Mr. Bain's intention to come
North on the next trip of the Jeffer-

arrives, but the indications are that
it will require so much time to cover
the territory he wants to visit in
Wyoming and elsewhere that he will

SHOWS A BIG INCREASE
Membership of Presbyterian Churches
Gains $500 in Last Year.

The membership of the synod of
Kansas of the Presbyterian church
has increased $500 in the last year,
according to the reports of the officers
to be read at the annual meeting at
Junction City Tuesday. The total
membership is $4,000. The Topeka
presbytery is the largest and most i'm
portant of the synod with 10,147 mem
bers in forty-seven churches.
All of the Presbyterian ministers of
Topeka will attend the meeting.
The total contributed by Kansas
Presbyterians to all purposes last year
was $9S8,373. This year it has grown
to S1,137,397. Most of this increase,
however, has been in contributions to
local congregational development, ex-
tension of plant, increase of salaries
and the like. The synod did not con-
tribute to the UNCONVENTIONAL budget
of SIP, 100000 quite as much this year
as the previous year and paid in only
II per cent of the quota assigned it
by the committee on apportionment
of the general assembly.
The report of the synod of Kansas
indicates a healthy condition in Pres
byterianism in the state. Efforts are
being made to raise the level of gen.
eral giving which is slightly below the
UNCONVENTIONAL standard to where it
should be found in corresp ondence

tiona1 budget of $12.00O,000 was $4.46

PROF. BURR SPEAKS HERE
Il. S. A. C. Instructor Addresses For
mer Employees of Santa Fe Shops.

In an address before former Santa
Fe shop employees, Saturday evening
at Labor hall, Walter Burr, professor
of rural sociology at the Kansas State
Agricultural college, declared that the
capitalists and large employers of the
country are attempting to oyercrowd
the supply of labor in this country by
misrepresenting conditions to Euro
peans anxious to emigrate..
81 would like to see program
started to limit the supply of labor"
Professor Burr declared. He also de-
clared that he was not in favor of
large families in the homes of work
ingmen. Il think that working people
today have too large families" he as
serted.
Along with the curtailment of the
supply of labor. Burr said he was in
favor of the labor unions demanding
high standard of ability for every
member admitted to the union.
Burr said that a tragedy for the
country would be to have labor secure
control of affairs here, and then not
know what to do with that control.
He urged the necessity of labor COL
leges for the training of men from
the ranks of labor in business and
administration, so that they may be
prepared to take charge of their share
of control as it comes to them.
