A Report Which Is INTENDED to Save None

A Report Which is Intended to Save Money
TOPEKA, December 20.-Two years ago the
Kansas state senate appointed committee
to revise certain portions of existing state
laws. This committee is composed of five
republican senators-Murdock of Butler,
Harkness of Clay, Kimball of Labette,
Moody of Linn, and M. c. Kelly of Crawford.
Senator Murdoch, speaking of the work, said
the committee had been at work nearly a
year and the report, which is now ready for
the governor, will cover several hundred
pages. 1t abolishes a dozen useless boards;
consolidates half dozen other boards; re-
vises the laws regarding the State Normal
and State Agricultural colleges, Hutchison
Reformative; decapitates Sam Crawford, the
state agent at Washington; cuts down the
number of local district judges about one
fourth; cuts legal advertising, sheriff sales,
county and state printing of all kinds 80 per
cent; provides for the Australian system of
voting and the election of the state board of
railroad commissioners; provides that the
state furnish school books of uniform text,
free; overhauls the system of taxation and
assessment, and puts it on bona fide.basis;
cuts down the fees and salaries of all county
officers except coroners and commissioners,
and affects constable and justice of the peace
fees.
The report, says Senator Murdock, if
adopted and enacted into law, will save the
people of Kasas $500, 900 in taxes annually.
1t will do more than this.
1t will repeal many useless laws now exist
ing, and make definite and certain man 9TH
ers. As all of the committee are republicans,
and as the report is simply redemption of
the pledges made in the recent state republi-
can platform, the republican senate cannot
refuse to adopt it.

Seven and a Ralf Million -euncehs-
National Banks to be Authorized to Issue

When it Falls Below $4,000, 900
Geeenbacks to Take its Place.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 19-The
third caucus of the republican senators on
the state of business resulted in agreements
The basis was the adoption of the financial
scheme reported by the caucus committee
with the exception of the per cent. bond
project, which was eliminated. So the meas
ure will provide for the purchase of $12, ,000,-
600 of silver bullion surplus, the reduction
of the compulsory requirement of bond de-
posits by a national bank, the extension of
the national bank circulatIan to the full
amount of their bond deposits, the replace
ment of the deficiency in national bank cir
culation below $1SO, ,OO0, 900 by treasury notes
based on silver bullion purchases, the proVi-
sion of free coinage when silver is main
tanned at par for one year, the provision for
the charge on the conversion of gold com
into bars and the recoinage of the subsidiary
silver coins. This measure was accepted as
a compromise. The measure was recon-
mitted to the census committee with lnstruc-
tions to perfect it in form and give it over to
the finance committee, which will report 1t
to the senate at an early day. The caucus
also instructed the committee to prepare and
report through Chairman Aldrlch a closure
rule. 1t will provide for the ordering OF the
previous question after reasonable tune
has been given for debate. The rule Will
not be presented until after the financial
bill has been presented to the senate. While
the financial bill is in process of construction
the debate on the elections bill Will continue.
The friends of this measure are satisfied with
the programme as determined upon, as they
thought they saw in the proposed closure
rule means of securing final action upon
their favorite bill.
TvraIva rnilIio, ouncas of silver bullion are
to be purchased during the calendar year,
not exceeding 100000 ounces in any one
month, and this is in addition to the amount
renuired now to be purchased monthly.

the preiate uttered few words in low
