KANSAS LOPS PAY
TOBALANCE BUDGET
So, 100000 Saved in Depart

Bridging Fiscal Crisis.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dlspatcn 10 :! ne SJar.
TOPEKA, Kans. August (N-AN.A).
Kansas has balanced its budget by
the simple method of Topping off two
million dollars in salaries and expenses
of State departments, officials and in
stitutions.
Every employe of the State is eX-
pected to take a cut in his monthly
pay check for the present fiscal year if
his salary exceeds $500 year. This
salary cut is based upon graduated
scale, whereby the lower paid employees
take the least cut, while the high-sal-
aried officials take the larger share.
The average reduction in pay rolls
for all the State departments and lnsti-
tutions is calculated by the budget di-
rector at about 10 per cent
All the institutions and all the de-
partments under the direct super
vision and control of Gov. Woodring
have taken the cut in salaries. There
are the elective State officials and their
subordinates, whose status is prob
lematical as this is written. The Gov
ernor himself has taken voluntary
cut in his own pay of 10 per cent, and
all the employees in his office have taken
the graduated reduction.

purposes will be $500 100000 less this
year than in 1881. The Governor has
set his heart upon keeping the State
levy at the same figure as a year ago.
The total appropriations made for
the fiscal year beginning July l are
S9033,863, not including appropria-
tions of approximately 100000 for
legislative expenses for the 1888 session.
This makes total possible expenditures
Of S9,433,863 for the fiscal year. The
State estimates of the indirect taxes
for the year IS S3,1430oo. The re-
duced valuation estimate on the basis
of exactly the same tax levy as in
