'Incompetency is the rule in rur-

of the teachers have less than

Gwen more interesting is the
relief situation.
'"There is no state relief in Kan

So serious in one county was the
matter, that the county offlclais
were forced to ask the Kansas SUI

HOW LANDON BALANCED
THE KANSAS BUDGET

We herewith present few facts
to the local voters, which we hope
will throw little light on the re.
publican presidential aspirant, Gov
ernor ALT Landon, and what were
his methods in balancing the state
budget in Kansas. Personally, we
can't say that we look forward with
any great amount of zest to the
time, If ever, when ALT will get a
chance to chop down the national
budget to make it balance.
The following is taken from the
June Is issue of the Grand Coulee
News, and will never be printed in
that good old family journal, the
Spokesman-Revi
"Afred M. Landon, governor of
Kansas has been named by the
COP as their representative in the
race for the presidency of the Unit
ed States. Already the republican
press, with the aid of Wall street
and the Liberty leaguers, have run
scores of stories praising their sell
ection.
Landon's chief claim to fame is
the fact that his home state, under
his administration, has a BAL
ANCED BUDGET. In special ar
ticle in the New York Sunday News
for April 5, 1886, there is a COM
plete explanation of HOW Landon
balanced the budget, and here are
the real honest-to-goodne facts.
More responsible than any 9TH
er one factor in slashing expendi-
lures is the reduction or elimina-
tion of any state aid for the
schools. The levy for their uses in
1881 was 5,0O0,00O In 1895,
under the Landon regime, it had
shrunk to $23,O0o,O0o OF the total
slash in expenditures Of $17,0OO,-
600, the schools had to bear SEW
ENTY PER CENT, or $12,OO0,OO0.
1.-The pay scale of the teachers,
of course, suffered more than any
thing else. Says the NEW YORK
NEWS: The pay scale of the tea
cheers. low to begin with, has been
sliced twice, and is now down to
NEARLY SWEATSHOP LEVELS

the head of Kansas department of
education: The average annual

use the front door. He stated also
that the wiring insulation on the
first floor was very dangerous and
asked the city to have it rewired.
(He stated that the material would
come to about $175.00 and the re-
wiring would probably amount to
$50 Alderman Miller made a mo-
