BOUNTY LEGAL
Office of the Attorney General,
Topeka, Kansas,.
Nov. 2, 1911. .
Hon. I. T. Purcell,
County Attorney,
Wa-Keeney, Kans.
Dear Sir: Referring again to our
correspondence and conversation in
regard to whether or not the Board
of County Commissioners have auth
ority to pay a bounty for the killing
of jack rabbits or for jack-rabbit
scalps, I beg to say that my former
opinion which was written to yon
some time ago was based upon an in
vestigation of the General Statutes
of 1909, and from an examination of
the 1909 Statutes, I determined that
there was no such authority. A fur
ther examination, however, reveals
the fact that In the Gen. Statutes of
1901 and 1905 was printed chapter 90
of the session laws of 1S89 which
provided that the county board may
pay a bounty for the killing of' wolf,
coyotes, wildcat, fox and rabbits.
This section has never been repealed
either directly or by implication.
Later sections have covered the sub
jects of wolf and coyotes and chapter
90 would probably be held to be re
pealed as to wolf and coyote scalps
by their enactment covering the
same subject, under the same rule
that the last expression of the Legis
lature will prevail. However, there
has been no subsequent legislation in
regard to the bounty on rabbits. I
have taken the matter up with the
Hon. C. F. W. Dassler of Leaven
worth and have before me his reply
in which he states that Chapter 90
was omitted from the 1909 compila
tion of the statutes by mistake. I
am therefore of the opinion that
Chapter 90, of the laws of 1899 as it
appears in section 1857 of the Gen.
Statutes of 1901 is still in full force
and effect as to the rabbit bounty and
the board of commissioners have am
ple authority to pay such a bountv.
JOHN S. DAWSON.
SOME TAFT SENTIMENT
Judge Ruppenthal has been lately
seeking" expressions on presidential
possibilities in Kansas and the
the judge says that it is the general
opinion of the republicans and demo
crats alike that Taft will be renomin
ated, although LaFollette has many
followers and some disstisfied repub
licans are inclined toward Wilson,
although he is a democrat. The dem
ocrats who are looking for a man who
can be supported by men of all par
ties are looking to Wilson, and not at
all to Clark.
Among the democrats the favor is
fairly well divided between Wilson
and Clark, and there is rarely a Har
mon democrat to be found so the
judge says. The republicans mostly
approve the president's stand on ar
bitration but do not approve his re
ciprocity policy.
HARMON POPULAR
Mr. O. E. Wendt of Colorado
Springs, Colo., was in this city Tues
day night, stopping here on his way
home from Sedalia, Mo. Mr. Wendt
is leisurly making his way home by
auto. In speaking of politics, Mr.
Wendt says:
"I am surprised at the feeling of
the people toward Governor Harmon
of Ohio for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination. Among the farmers
of Missouri and Eastern Kansas, he
is very strong. This talk about
Clark is not considered at all serious
in Missouri and that state when the
time comes will be for Harmon for
President."
"No, I'm not a democrat. I shall
vote and work for Taft."

LAST RQLL CALL
Last' Saturday afternoon, Josiah
East died at the home "of Samuel
Parks,' north of town, after a year or
more of failing health. Mr. East
came to Trego county nearly twenty-
five years ago and has been one of its
honored and respected citizens up to
the time of his death. He w as born
in Illinois, March 15, 1846, and was a
veteran of the civil war, having join
ed an Illinois company of volunteers
and served until the close of the war
when he was honorably discharged.
Mr. East was a quiet man who at
tended strictly to his own affairs. He
possessed a kindly nature and his
honest, upright mode of living won
the respect and admiration of those
who knew him. For the last several
months he had been threatenedwith
blindness and after a complication of
stomach and liver trouble arose, he
failed rapidly in health and strength.
Ellsworth East, the only relative
able to come, arrived to attend the
funeral which took place Wednesday
morning at the Methodist church,
conducted by the pastor, Rev.Greene.
The Kieverson Quarteete furnished
the music. The remains were laid to
rest in the Wa-Keeney cemetery. He
is survived by three sisters and four
brothers besides Ellsworth East, who
is here settling up his buisness.
UNFAIR TO THE WEST
Why is Western Kansas so persis
tently ignored In the location of the
State institutions? Why is the em
pire west of Ellsworth considered be
yond tlie dead line and out of the
range of human possibilities by those
who have in hands the distribution
of State institutions'?
West of the ninety-eighth meridian
of longitude lies the Empire of the
grass lands. Men have grown old
and grey in this western third of
Kansas fighting the battles of the
frontier and making an agricultural
empire of the millions of semi-arid
acres that stretch away to meet the
sun. When Kansas came into the
Union as a new state the western
third was considered a liability in
stead" of 'an asset. The1 settlers of
western Kansas are men of nerve and
brain and brawn who have scent
fifty long weary years, who have
stayed and helped and hoped and
prayed and made an Empire.
Each December for fifty long
years the men of this western Empire-have
turned the golden sheckles
into a state treasury that has abso
lutely no limit to capacity. The
subduing of the grass lands of this
vast empire lias cost some rich red
blood. Through tears and prayers
and unremitting toil the prairie has
been made to yield up it's fruit.
These western Kansas men have
fought their fight alone, unaided by
a state that has accepted the monet-
ery contribution from the land it
almost scorned.
Instead of a liability fifty years has
transformed the Empire of the grass
lands into a genuine, gilt edged asset
of a great Commonwealth. In all
these years western Kansas has been
tolerated but never welcomed into
full fellowship in the making of a
state. We're too dry out here to
produce anything but taxes.' It's all
right for us fellows to live here and
pay our tax but it would'nt do for a
state institution to come out where
we live. That's out of the question.
Isn't it time for the great state of
Kansas to slip up behind these old
boys wbo have made the west, slap
them on the back and say: "You've
made an Empire out of the desert
out there. Go to it fellows, we are
with you." Oakley Graphic.
TO MARK THE ROAD
The commercial club of Ellis have
had a number of signs painted for
the purpose of marking the automo
bile road in this part of thestate. The
signs are about 13 inches wide and
by 22 inches long and they will be
placed along the road both east and
west of Ellis so that tourists may
travel without the necessity of get
ting off the road or stopping at every
turn to enquire the way. The signs
read as follows:

-EXTRA SESSION POSSIBLE
Governor Stubbs stated Sunday ;
that there are many people in the
state urging him to call an special
session of the legislature to enact a
presidential preference law. He also
stated that he is very much in doubt
if a presidential primary held with
out a law would be practical.
"Where did you boys get the spec
ial session idea?" he asked of the reporter-.
.
He was told that special session
talk had loomed up as big as a house
about the capitol for a week.
"Who told you?"' he abked.
'Who did you talk to about' it?"
was the reply.
"I'm not saying," he replied. "I did
talk to a couple of men recently
about it."
"Do you think that a primary
without a law would be practical?"
was asked.
. "I doubt it very much," he an
swered. "Now I don't say that it
can't be worked out, but I have my
doubts that it can be done satisfac
tory." .
