1HE couNTY BUDGET.

That it will be necessary TO raise
s10G,O42.9G by taxation to run the
county government this year is the
estimate OF the county board of COM
m!ssioEers who have made up their
annual budget and submitted 1t to the
county legislative delegation. The
commissioners estimate that a total Of
sos, ,O42.96 will be required, but it is
expected that $4,000 in revenue will be
obtained from fines imposed in masis-
trate's courts and the court OF gen
eral sessions. The commissioners ask
for $500 for the farm demonstration
agent this yehr and $1,000 for the wo-
mans home demonstration agent. They
also request the delegation to give them
authority to borrow $4,000 If so much
be necessary for ordinary county pur-
poses, and also request that the dele
CATION write in the supply act author
lty to allow them to use uneXpended
balances in various departments.
Following Is the estimate OF ex-
penses for the fiscal year 1922.

There is a growing conviction among
intelligent people everywhere that the

is not enough gold available, and 1t is
doubtful as to whether any country in

could meet the requirements that have
been made Of Germany.

Among the measures Of state wide

Among the measures Of state wide
importance introduced in the house
was a bill, of which M. c. Foster is the
author, to regulate the maximum
prices to be charged by telephone COM
panies in the state. Under the pro-
visions OF the bill the maximum
charge for a one party business tele-
phone line will be IS a month, and Tor
u one party residence telephone line 80
a month. The maximum charge Tor
duplex lines will be fixed at 81 for each
business telephone and $3.50 for each
residence telephone. The bill carries
penalty of $50 for each violation or at
tempted violation, the penalty to be
recovered in any court Of competent
Jurisdiction in the state at the instance
and on behalf of the agerieved party or
parties" The bill was referred to the
house judiciary committee, which Will
hold hearing on the measure at its
meeting this afternoon.--Thc Columbia
State.
That looks to us like one of those
joker bills. Apparently it is for the
protection of telephone patrons. Actu-
ally it is to enable telephone companies
to raise rates generally to the figure
indicated in the deadline maximum.
There will be no immediate advances,
of course; but later on the advances
will be made and when the patron
kicks he will be answered with the ar
gument that we are not even charG-
ing as much as the law allows us TO
charge" But the bill will very proha-
bly, get through all right enough Bills
like that generally have behind them
the interested influences that will put
them through.

A FLING AT DAVIS

ton to destroy this law. Finally. when
the Democratic party lined up Tor the
law it won a victory before the people.
The present industrial court act was
adopted by the state legislature, not as
partisan measure, but as constructive
effort to find justice and peace Tor
all in the Industrial quarrel which
arises in the essential industries. Its
passage was not secured by partisan
vote Among the less than dozen
members of the legislature who regis
tered votes against the law there were
both Republicans and Democrats
In the next campaign, however, in a
perfectly frank effort to gain the aid
of the radical union labor leaders, the
Democrats wrote into their platform
an attack upon the industrial court
law. They lost in that campaign all
but three counties in the state.
In their pre-prin1ary state conven-
ton this year. al the candidates for
the governorship and the other Inn
portant offices. declared that If they
were ELECTED they would seek to de-
stroy this very useful act
Jonathan Davis, the successful con-
tender for the Democratic nomination
in the recent primaries, not only in
this campaign, but in his general cam
paign two years ago, expressed his
hostility to the law and declared his
intention to use whatever powers were
his as governor, in case he were elect
ed. TO secure the-law'S repeal.
Therefore, we are to witness another
campaign in this state in which the
Democratic party assumes the position
of nullifiers- My prediction is that
the fate of this campaign will be the
deserved fate Of the other campaigns
which the Democratic party has made
along this line in Kansas.
Davis the Farmer.
Mr. Davis constantly reminds US
that he is farmer. His effort is in
line with the unsuccessful effort of so
many politicians to use class preju=
dices for political purposes. He hopes
TO secure the support or the radical
labor leaders and to combine il with
the support of the farmers 1t is nv
Judgment that he will not have sue
cess in this effort. Labor leaders and
farmers do not work together. Their
business is entirely different. The
farmer makes his living by hard work
thru the cultivation OF the soil The
ton or the idea that it is the duty of
his union supporters to work as little
is possible for as much as they can
get This philosophy has never been
popular either with farmers or with
honest workmen and YOU can no more
mix the doctrines of the modern radi-
cal labor leader with the sentiments
of the American farmer than you may
mix oil with water.
The Democratic party would he
stronger with the farmers OF this state
today IL it were making an honest
campaign and were not engaged SO
openly in an effort to attach to il the
radical element of labor leadership.
