Summary of Legislation That
May Be Expected.
However Some of the Plans Un
certain of Realization.
ALLEN CO. AROUSED.
Fears Raid on State on Behalf
of County Fairs.
Senator-Elect Travis Has His
covered the Bugaboo.
From the ante-session gossip of th
members-elect of the next Kansas
legislature now going the rounds of
the newspapers it would appear that
all election pledges are to be re.
deemed "by the winning party in th
recent contest at the polls. But then
really, declaration of intentions a
this time is about at par with cam
paign promises.
At this stage of the game theshort
grass and long grass statesmen are a
unit for the guarantee deposit law
The only ripple in the grass is th
disagreement as to the provisions
that shall regulate this measure.
All of them favor good road
legislation, but the details as to how
and what kind of roads are not yet
hinted at.
They will all tell you that the pri
mary election law is a grand thing for
the commonwealth and that through
It the peepur rule- nut every gen
In the state who has a legislative
commission will take a whack at that
law next month.
They are going to strike the book
trust shackles off the state and prin
school books at the state printing
plant ana distribute them like air and
sunshine and religion to whosoever
will, but the above mentioned trus
has already sent out advance press
notices of a dividend for 1909 and is
preparing to order one hundred and
twenty-two changes in the text books
as a Christmas present for the dear
children" to take effect after the
holiday vacation.
Last, but not least, they are going
to change real estate into persona
property via the Torrens code and
juggle with blocks of Kansas dirt in
the same manner that stocks and
bonds are handled.
Well, why not? The machine men
have been routed, horse, foot and
guns. There is no reef on the har
bor bar in the shape of a senate lodge
for Fltzpatrlck has forsaken the scr
vice of the state for that of the Stand
ard Oil company and Porter or Mont
gomery. is building railroads this
year. Then with Stubbs" red head
for a beacon light these ships, each
with their burden of bills, shall sail
safely into the haven of redeemed,
promises.
That is the weather prediction at
this time, but then even Dr. Hicks has
had bad luck in predicting the
weather a month ahead.
.Alien county 13 aroused over an
alleged raid on the state treasury next
session for- county fairs. Nothing has
wen neard or this private venture
here in the state capital. The wire
less signal station at Iola must have
intercepted another Japanese message
and thought it was from Topeka. It is
a fact that Topeka, Wichita and
Hutchinson have a three-cornered
ngni on tor an appropriation for a
state fair and one of these places is
sure to knock the persimmon to the
tune of $200,000 or more, but nobody
is talking about any county fairs.
Every state In the Union except Kan
sas has a state fair and some of them
give millions for that institution and
are proud of their Investment.
Kansas farm products last year total
ed 475 million dollars and yet here is
a Kansas state senator In the Derson
of Frank Travis of Allen county who
is small enough to knock a state fair
if his county can t have it. He says
'There would be only one thing '.
could be persuaded to favor," said Sen
ator Travis. "If I see there is any
sentiment for this sort of a raid on
the state treasury I will use rav en
ergie-s to direct that the appropriation
be turned to Manhattan and. be used
In connection with the State Agricul
tural college. If money is to be an
propriated for buildings for a fair they
should be there for when the fair was
not using them the college could use
them. There might be some sense to
that sort of thing but only a little.
The college could collect the exhibits.and
arrange them for display, races could
be held, a few amusement attractions
could be added, then you could call it
a fair. But grafters would have to be
kept out and that would not suit all
managers."
How many votes constitute a majori
ty in an election? Certainly not four.
or nine, or even 23, for there are five
contests now filed with the secretary
of state on the strength of these small
majorities. Three of these contests are
for seats in the house of representa
tives and two for places in the senate.
The claims of the contestants are 'prin
cipally based on the close vote and they
want the state legislature to thresh out
the returns, not being satisfied with the
worK or the county commissioners in
counting votes. It may be that some
precedent will be established in the set
tlement of these contests whereby the
size of the majority will be fixed as a
basis for a contest or no contest. Elec
tion contests occupied a lot of valuable
time in the last regular session of the
legislature and the indications are that
the next session will have the same row
to hoe.
