ESTIMATES ARE TOO LOW Governor Admits Situation Is Grave All Heads of Institutions Will Be Called to Topeka Next Week for Financial Council All Arc Confronted Witli Shortage of Funds but Condition Is Most Serious at State Prison May Consider Prohibition Amendment.

Topeka, Aug. 10 Kansas faces a special session of' the state legislature. War prices for all commodities have forced all state insttutions to face fiscal year deficits and to exceed their estimates in purchases. Gravity of the situation is felt in every state institution. Governor Capper himself fs today looking the matter squarely in the face.

Be fore leaving for LeRoy today, the governor admitted that a special session may be necessary. In preparation for the important move the governor will call all state institution heads to Topeka early next week for a financial council with the state board of administration, of which he is ex-ofncio chairman. Should the legislature be brought to Topeka this fall or next winter, its program will probably be definitely outlined in the call. At least two demands will be made by the governor. He will ask first for immediate emergency appropriations to meet demands through increased costs of living and the probable creation of an emergency fund to be placed at the disposal of the executive council or state administration board.

The seecond demand will be for a ratification of amendment to the federal constitution providing for national prohibition providing the resolution which passed the Senate last week is adopted by the House during the present session. FACE MANY DEMANDS. Demands for a special session have been faced by the state administration almost since adjournment of the 1917 legislature. When the members of the ways and means committees met in joint sessions they prepared appropriation schedules based on before-the-Avar prices. Institution heads made bitter complaints, but the committees delivered sermons and speeches about economy and sought to hold the certain tax increase as low as possible.

For years the legislature had been urged to create an emergency fund of a quarter or half million dollars. Each session the question was dodged and each legislature passed the buck to the succeeding legislature. W. E. Davis, former state auditor, had urged creation of this fund on numerous occasions.

Such action would have probably saved the seemingly necessity for a special session this year. SERIOUS AT "I don't see how the institutions can make it through the year with appropriations available," said Governor Capper today. "The situation is especially serious at the state penitentiary, although almost every institution is confronted with a shortage of funds to meet needs and demands. An emergency fund would have been a great thing just now." The conditions at the Lansing state prison are most disheartening. Every month the institution slips a little further in the mire of depreciated funds.

It exceeds its estimates in purchases and comes before the legislature with unpaid bills and deficiencies and emergency claims. And the high cost of living only makes things worse. "Every' time the prison turns out a ton of coal or a spool of binding twine, it means a loss of money, although the institution which received the coal was benefited," said E. W. Hoch, a member of the state board.

"In short, it seems that the more the prison does the more money it looses and the more its expenses increase." Other institutions are not suffering as badly as the state prison but all are in need of funds. The only relief is through a direct loan by the banks to heads of the state board and faith that the next legislature will, make good the loan. The loan system is unpopular, however, especially in view of the loud protestations that Kansas is now entirely out of debt. So the special session seems the only certain and direct relief. MAY TAKE PHOHIBITION STAND.

Many demands have been sent to Governor Capper urging that Kansas be the first state to ratify national prohibition.
