Walt for Legislative A'V > , Sy "
Lincoln , Feb. 22. The * < ? ' " ,
Secretary of State Galusha k. ' >
vouchers for mileage books filed
state officers has received the endorse
ment of Governor Mickey , though It
is setting hard on some state olllcers
and on the heads of some depart
ments.
"I don't see any way that the state
can pay for these mileage books at
this time , " said the governor. "The
officers riding on business for the
state should take a receipt for the
money ho paid for the ticket and then
Rrhen the legislature meets present
bis claim. That la the way I am doing
and shall do. I believe the legislature
will reimburse mo , but If it doesn't ,
then all right. However , there is no
fund out of which railroad fare can
be paid. I think the secretary of
state is right when he refuses to sign
the vouchers. "

ANHCIPATES TROUBLE IN ORIENT
Arguments of Hull In Presenting Army
Appropriation Bill In House.
Washington , Fob. 22. Chairman
Hull of the military affairs committee ,
in presenting the army appropriation
bill to the house , urged the necessity
of complete preparedness as to our
army and navy for trouble In the Ori
ent. Ho declared that any nation not
prepared to defend Its position In
China might as well haul down Its
flag and quit the Pacific. Incidentally ,
Hull pronounced Minister Rockhlll at
Peking guilty of Indiscretion In in
dicating to Chinese officials that the
United States intended returning the
20.000.000 Hoxer Indemnity. State
ments of this Kind will be taken by
the Chinese as an Indication that the
United States was afraid , rather than
liberal. Hull scouted the Idea that
Jnpan was Interested in stirring up
trouble In China to Injure the United
States. Japan's Interests In China ,
ho snld. were Identical with those of
