4- COMING TO DOES CAPPER STAND WITH YOU? on county. He served as city superintendent of schools for five years. In all these positions he made good. Three and a half years ago State Superintendent Fairchild invited Mr. Rosa to become inspector of the courses in normal trainings agriculture and domestic science in high schools.

In this capacity he has come in4o close contact with the public school work in every part of the state. He has seen at short range the strength and weakness of our ctchools. In addition to this he has been eitheninstructor or conductor in eighteen county normal institutes and has taught in three state-wide institutes in the in the State Normal School at Emporia. The first thing Attorney General Dawson, Republican candidate for re-election, set about on his induction into office was to secure the passage through the legislature of an efficient ouster law for the summary removal of deref lict officers and upon its enactment he vigorously set about the enforcement of all the laws of the State in a way which had never been possible before. He secured the co-operation of the Sheriffs and County Attorneys and banished the Sunday pool halls from the State and carried the work of the enforcement of the prohibitory law into the mining districts with a vigor and efficiency never before undertaken.

Under the new ouster law a considerable number of derelict public officers were removed from the public1 service and the general work of law enforcement was brought up to high standard. Earl Akers, Republican candidate for state treasurer, is peculiarly fitted for the position of State Treasurer, because of his general aptitude for just such work and his wide scope of business training. He will bring a wealth of vim and energy to the department and will give Kansas every ounce of steam that his wiry little body possesses. W. C.

Austin, Republican candidate for re-election as state, printer, has made a remarkable record both for efficiency and wise business management. As a member of the printing commission, together with Secretary of State Charles H. Sessions and Attorney General John S. Dawson, he has eliminated unnecessary printing. He has bought stock in car lots and had shipments made direct from the mills, thus saving both in price of stock and freight.

He has installed a complete cost system, by which he can tell what each man in the institution is doing every six minutes of the day and the exact cost of every job to the state. It is on account of the reputation he has made in the management of the state printing plant that he was renom- i t. iv. t- v. The Candidates On the Republican State Ticket Chief Justice XV.

A. Johnston, Republican candidate for re-election, is equipped for the position as are few men. Kansas still needs him, though he has served his state splendidly for years. The story of his service to his state ever- since he was a young man has been of conspicuous value. Early in his career he was deputy county attorney, practically the head of the office, and he did so well that his people made hin their representative in the legislature.

A. useful and strenuous term followed. Then a big senatorial district, taking up nearly all of the unoccupied country out that way, made him State Senator. The authorities at Washington made him assistant United States district attorney. The Republican party elected and re-elected him attorney general.

Before finishing up his last term in 1884, Kansas needed a new associate justice to fill out the unexpired term of Justice D. J. Brewer, promoted to the highest court in the land. So Attorney General W. A.

Johnston was sought out and appointed to the position. When the next state convention met the appointment was unanimously Tatified and he was nominated Associate Justice. This was in 1884, 28 long years ago. Nomination followed domination almost without opposition. The last 10 years of this time he has been Chief Justice with its added duties and responsibilities.

Justice R. A. Burch, Republican candidate for re-election to the supreme bench, has achieved a national reputation as a jurist. He has been placed on the staff of contributors to the Michigan Law Review, the magazine published by the law department of his alma mater. He has been selected by a committee of the Association of American Law Schools to write the American introduction to the volume of "The Modern Legal Philosophv entitled "The Scientific Basis of Legal Justice." On July 24 he delivered the annual address before the Commercial Law League of America, which held its convention at Colorado Springs.

One of his published addresses on the improvement of criminal law and procedure made a deep impression on the recent constitutional convention of Ohio and aided so materially in securing an amendment relating to the privileges of defendants in criminal cases, which has since been adopted, that the member who proposed the amendment refers to it as Justice Burch's own work. Sheffield Ingalls, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is a native Kansan. He is a candidate purely upon his own resources. He wants to stand out boldly upon his own record and not that of an illustrious forebear. And he is big enough to do that.

He has been big and broad and highminded in all and has always earnestly supported those things in politics destined to upbuild and broaden out the state his father helped into public eye in its earlier stages. As a member of the legislature he was an untiring worker for those things beat calculated to do the whole state good; as a member of the Normal Board he has been faithful and undemiting in efforts to build greater the educational institutions of the' state. For twenty-four years Charles H. 4- 4 4 4- 4- 4 4 4 For Congress. J.

B. Chapman, the Democratic candidate for must not be overlooked when it comes to a write-up of those who are aspiring to public favor. Mr. Chapman has been a resident of Kansas for more than 40 years. He was formerly a newspaper man and now runs a big show printing house in Atchison and 'Kansas City, Mo.

He is also a horticulturist of considerable ability, having large orchards at Parker, Kansas, where he is now engaged in taking care of his apple crop. Mr. Chapman is a progressive Democrat, stands upon the Democratic doctrine of equal rights to air and special privileges to none. He is for tariff revenue only; favors direct election of United States senators and will refuse to be bound by the action of any caucus. He has splendid ability and a fine presence as you will readily see, and he will at all times be found voting in the interests of the people of the First congressional district rather than following the lead of Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.

He is showing up Mr. Anthony's record on the tariff bill in a manner that is making that, gentleman sit up and take notice. He is reading the roll call on him and showing the people of Kansas that Mr. Anthony has faithless to his trust. That he has strayed off after false political gods; that he has been the understudy of Cannon, Payne and Aldrich, and that his sympathies are away from and against the people of Kansas and the First congressional district.

When the roll was called on the Free sugar bill the record shows that Mr. Anthony was found and not voting and the sugar tariff enters into the home and upon the breakfast table of every man and woman in his district. "When the Lumber bill was before congress and a Democrat offered an amendment providing for free lumber, Mr. Anthony voted against it, at the same time saying that the fact that the amendment. was offered by a Democrat was sufficient reason to vote against it.

On the question of the bill to place a tax on white phosphorous, the handling of which is killing those who are compelled to labor, in the match factories Mr. Anthony was found on roll call absent and not voting. When the roll was called on the bill to lower the tariff on the metal schedule, commonly known as the iron and steel bill, Anthony was found voting and yet every farmer in his district is using Iron and steel in every implement used for the tilling of the soil. When it came to the metal schedule the second time, which was called the Farmer's free list bill, and intended to save the American consumer eighty millions dollars per annum, Mr. Anthony was found voting "no," in favor of Rhode Island and Pennsylvania and against the people of the First district.

When it came to the passage of the woolen schedule, a bill proposing a reduction of tax. on imports of wool from 90 1-19 per cent to 52 55-100 per cent and to reduce the price of clothing more than fifty million dollars per year the roll call shows that Mr. Anthony again voted for Rhode, Island and against Kansas. When his name was called he answered "nay." Mr. Chapman proposes to read Mr.

Anthony's record in every precinct in the First district and put ft up to the people of the district whether or not they will longer continue Mr. Anthony as their representative in Congress. Every man and woman in the dis Taxes for state purposes only have increased from $1,967,346 in 1905 to $3,332,465 in 1812. In 1905 the state taxes in Jefferson county-were $23,927. For 1912 the state taxes in Jefferson county are During those eight years the State has collected more than eight million dollars from fees and corresponding sources other than taxes.

This eight million dollars more than covers the cost of every permanent improvement made by the state during this eight year period. Therefore, revenue raised by these increased state taxes has gone only to meet the current expenditures of the State Government. Since the beginning of the Stubbs administration the tax levy to raise money to meet the State's current expenses has been raised from nine-tenths of a mill to a mill and a quarter, an increase of thirty-six per cent. Each county makes a separate levy each year to raise revenue to meet its current expenses. While the corresponding state levy has been increasing thirty-six per cent, the levy for the Jeffer- son county general fund has decreased from 1.66 mills in 1908 to 1 mill in 1911.

Where has the Money Gone? -r The facts above cited show that there has been a tremendous increase in state taxes. They do not show that the money has been used to increase salaries and expenses of state officers, but the re-, cords of the State Auditor do show that very thing. The appropriations for the Governor's department for 1906 were $17,200. For 1912, they were $25,000. Increase $7,800 per annum.

The appropriations for the Bank Commissioner's department in 1906 were $17,100. For 1912, they were $53,600. Increase $36,500 per annum. The appropriation for the Attorney General in 1906 were $9,500. For 1912, they were $22,200.

Increase $12,700 per annum. The appropriations for the State Accountant for 1906 were $5,800. For 1912, hey are $7,700. Increase of $1,900 per annum. The appropriations for the State Architect in 1906 were $2,500.

In 1912, they are $8,050. Increase $5,550 per annum. The appropriations for the Board of Health in 1906 were $9,100. For 1912, they are $13,120. Increase $4,020 per annum.

The appropriations for the salaries and expenses of the District Courts for 1906 were $122,625. For 1912 they are $159,900. Increase $37,275 per annum. The foregoing are but samples. They indicate where the money goes.

Hodges Will Use the Pruning Knife. The Democratic platform declared against these extravagant expenses. It says: "We believe we have too many laws, too many officers, too much government and too high taxes aid we promise, if given the opportunity to use the pruning knife on these evils. "We favor reducing the number of our district courts throughout the state by consolidation of districts where the amount of litigation requires but a small portion of the time of the presiding judge. "We favor the placing of all state educational institutions under one board of regents composed of three members, thus eliminating expense, concentrating authority and providing for more efficient supervision.

"We declare that all State officers, both elective and appointive should be allowed pay for only the actual time given to the ser- vice, of the State, and that time employed other than in performance of official duties should be deducted by the authorities charged with auditing salary vouchers." George H. Hodges, Democratic candidate for Governor, in case of his election will use the pruning knife. Where does Capper Stand? He has told. us where he stands on this important question of the ever increasing burden of taxation. In an editorial discussion of that very question in his paper, The Topeka Daily Capital, April 21st 1912, the Republican Candidate for Governor declares as follows: "One thing is an absurdity indiscussing taxes, and that is the notion, if anybody entertains it, that it is ever going to cost less money to run the Government.

More, not less, is what it is going to cost." The total State expenditures for 1903 were $2,568,555. For 1912 the total State expenditures are $4,426,422. It was the Stubbs-Capper crowd that brought about this tremendous increase. Arthur Capper the Republican candidate for governor, tells the tax payers that if he is elected it is going to "cost more, not less money" to run the State Goverment. George Hodges, the Democratic Candidate for Governor, pledges you that if he is elected a pruning knife will be used in the State departments and that it will cost less to run the State Government.

Dolley, of Maple Hill, chairman of the Republican State Committee. Having won all the glory that can come to a man in that position through his able management of the campaign two and four years ago and for the further reason that he was very busy with his official business in the state banking department, is was again with great reluctance that Mr. Dolley consented to manage the campaign this time. He only yielded after his unanimous election and the earnest insistence of all the candidates for state offices. When the reform political wave struck Kansas in 1904 he was found in the front rank.

He was vice chairman of the state committee in the first Hoch campaign. Four years ago he conducted the primary campaign for Gov. Stubbs and later managed the state campaign for the entire ticket. He also managed the Kansas campaign two years ago. He kept his fingers on the political pulse of the state constantly and his estimates regarding the outcome were verified to a gnat's heel.

In the conduct of the present campaign Mr. Dolley says that all Re publicans look alike to him and that he will use every legitimate means to elect the Republican ticket from top to bottom. He now has the campaign organized and is ready to supply local county committees with speakers' and literature. He is anxious for the hearty co-operation of every Republican in the state. A Case of Economy.

As just one example of the thorough business methods adopted by the past administration, it might be cited that under Mr. Davis' regime of State Audi tor, a system of requiring receipts from state employees for traveling expenses has been enforced and perfected which has given the state as good check on all such expenses as is kept by any first class, well regulated business concern. The ideas worked out along this line by Mr. Davis have attracted attention in other states and he is frequently asked for an outline of his system of auditing the accounts. All claims against the state are first required to be itemized and receipts furnished covering each and every item contained in the accounts.

The principal features of this system are to be found in the efficiency; with which the claimant is enabled to itemize his claim. For an employee starting out on a trip covering two weeks' duration without the receipt system would probably not stop often to estimate his expense and at the end ef the two weeks an attempt then to itemize it after a great deal of the events of this trip had passed from memory, he -would be unable render a complete and systematic, itemization of the accounts. Whereas, each nd every day, under the receipt system, he takes receipts of the different expenditures and involuntarily is itemizing his account, so that at the end of the two weeks' trip he has a complete and lystematic itemization of the trip, showing the amount paid and the purpose of aeh, and every expenditure. This en-ibles him with very little time to render i fully itemized statement so that the people of the state may know where, when and for what purpose each and very expenditure of their money has jeen made. A second benefit is for the claimants ihemselves, in that it is many times iifficult for them to remember the cost if expenditures made three or four days, perhaps a week or two weeks prior to ihe time of rendering their accounts and jften femall items escape their memory.

ivhile this system -requires more work lor the Auditor's than the former rrstern, yet Davis feels that the ef- cf tWTstcn is fzr freaterthan Sessions, candidate for Secretary of State, has never missed a day's pay or made a permanent enemy. For four teen of those years he had extremely close relations as a newspaper man with the public of this state. This same public nominated him two years ago for Secretary of State without opposition and elected him by a handsome majority and now has renominated him for a second term without opposition. He was able to accomplish things from the very start. His record, among other things, in holding the bills for legislative supplies lower than they had ever been for a generation; in publishing the session laws earlier than they had ever been before; in wiping out all defunct or delinquent corporations and putting the charter department on a basis where the state is in close touch with every live corporation; in requiring all corporations for profit to observe the law which many of them been' ignoring by filing their annual financial statements in compelling many big foreign corporations, operating in the state without authority, to come in and take out licenses in co-operating with the state printer to cut out useless printing, thus preventing for the first time a deficiency in helping to invest about $2,000,000 in first-class bonds for the school fund, none drawing less than 5 per cent, should commend, him to the people for a second term.

It is said in the state house that W. E. Davis, Republican candidate for reelection, is one of the ablest auditors the state ever had. He has put into effect rules governing the expenditure of public moneys that have been helpful to the claimant and beneficial to the state. Under Mr.

Davis administration the difficulty pertaining to school lands that had been oneof the chief sources of worry in the office has practically disappeared. He has co-operated with the county clerks in the straightening of defects in the sale of lands that patents showing clear chain of title might issue to worthy applicants, and he has required all moneys collected on. school land sales and payments to be covered into the state treasury within the time required under the law and the books to balance at each remitting period. In 1899 Ike S. Lewis, Republican candidate for re-election as superintendent of insurance, was appointed to a clerkship in the insurance department.

In this position he served 'with such excellent ability through the various administrations that when Mr. Charles" W. Barnes was placed at the head of; the department he very naturally selected Mr. Lewis as his assistant on account of his great knowledge of tbtf duties of the He knew the work as well and perhaps better, than anv other man in the state and no one gies him bet ter endorsement than the superintendents of -Insurance mnderwhom he worked. He was elected Superintendent of Insurance two years ago, is now serving his first term and is a for re-election.
