Governor Gappsr of Kansas
"Kansas, in common
with other states, has ex
perienced in the last dec
ade an increase in the
cost of government and
the burdens of taxation,
far beyond the increase
v of population. In twelve
years public expenditures
have increased 68 per
cent in the state; 77 per
cent in the county; 153
per cent in the city; 119
per cent in the township;
132 per cent for schools.
,..
This quotation is taken word for word from an offi
cial message from Governor Capper of Kansas to the
Legislature of Kansas, 1915 session. The message
is dated Jan. 12, 1915, is signed "Arthur Capper,
Governor," and appears on pages 1 1-17, of the official
Senate Journal, State of Kansas, 1915.
The attention of the reader is called to the
fact that taxes have increased enormously
in Kansas, a prohibition state.

Edison For Wilson
Therei-t no American in whose in
tegiity ol opinion, strong sense anil
good judgment the people of the
Prilled Ststes have more conlldeneo
than Thomas A Edison.
Mr Edison publicly nnnoiinets his
support of Piositlent WlNon. Urief
cd, his reasons aie:
Facet! with a succession of tremend
ous piobloms, any one of which de
cided tho wiong way would have been
disastrous. Wilson has not got, us
into trouble nor is ho likely to.
He has given us peace with honor
Talk about the Pulled States being
despised is nonsense. Hack of our
neutrality ate Intel national law. the
rights of humanity and the lutnie of
civilization.
With lufereneoto Mexico, the pics'
dent has acted wisely, justly and
courageously.
Willi lefercnce to piepaiedness he
changed and it was the proper thing
to do.
His altitude on tho tut ill Miows
equal openne-s of mind. A tin ill
commission will take the tanll' out ol
politics.
"They say that he has lilnndeii 1.
Perhaps he has lint I notice that he
usually blunders fonuud."
In the railroad contiovcisj, the
President acted with hU usual ton--age
and sanity.
Hughes' hindsight, we lewn fmm
his speeches, is highly flevelt ed but
as to his foresight we ato not equally
well informed.
This Is no time for Kepubllcanism
or Democracy. Ileal Americans must
get down toluntlameiit.il piinclples.
It is not now logical or sensible to
change to an inexperienced and uu
tiied man.
