FEEs AND SALARIES.

The conference on the bill fixing fees and
salaries of county officers and for official and
legal county printing reported a substitute
for the two bills which had been passed, one
by each house; the one by the house giving
much more liberal pay for their services than
the one by the senate.
The substitute reported by the conference
committee sought to fix the salaries of Off
GERS for each county as the representative
from that county should dictate. while the
feed officers, under this substitute, would
cent.
Senators protested against carrying the re-
sponsibility of fixing the salaries for their
counties. and the substitute bill was rejected
by the senate.
This probably ended all effort to get legis-
latiOn on this subject.

only such witnesses as represented one side
of the controversy and needed further time
for that reason The report says that they
are well convinced that large amounts of
money have been expended unnecessarily
and unwisely, if not eOrruptly, which might
have been prevented had the safeguards
which the law gives, which requires quarterly

STATION REPLIES TO ELDER.

Mr.. Seaton replied that the comparisons
made by Mr.. Elder OF recent years with the
year 1876, when Elder was a member of the
ways and means committee, and when Kan
sas had only one-third of the population it
now has, was an unfair comparison. From
1876 for few succeeding years the money of
the state had gone, in large sums, into build
ings for state institutions, etc.
