THE "frst peoples partv oovernmant

THE "frst peoples party government
on earth"-the populist administration
OF the state OF Kansas-has passed forth,
and Kansas is now controlled by the re-
p%ublicans. The state has paid rather
dearly for her experiment with popu-
lism, but perhaps the lesson was a salu-
tory one. The populistic disease which
Kansas has suffered was of the rabid and
violent kind, and the state has become
notorious for the always reliable imbe-
cility and incompetency of her officials.
1t is probable that the same experiment.
will not 0 o be made again. And it is
also probable that the state will now re-
sumo the partially interrupted march on
to progress and prosperity. .

The bill introduced in the house
for free aud uniform text books
throughout the several counties of the
state, introduced by Mr.. Logan, provides
that the several township school boards
shall furnish, at the expense of the town.
ship, to be loaned to pupils in the public
schools free of charge. The act creates
a county school board, composed of the
county superintendent, county auditor
and a teacher of recognized ability, to
be selected by the other two members of
the board, the superintendent of schools
to be chairman Of the board. The dis
trict school board are prohibited from
expanding more than 81 per annum for
each person of school age in the district
after the year 1895. Books cannot be
changed oftener than nee every five
years. All towns organized as special or
independent districts are exempt from
using books prescribed by county board,
provided they shall themselves prescribe
a system of books to be used by them.
There is an emergency clause to the bill
which is exceedingly lame, and it is
doubtful if it would stand the legal lest
prescribed for emergency clauses. The
TRIBUNE will look further into the
scheme and inform it's readers further
on the matter as opportunity offers.

WOULD it not be we'll for members of
both house and senate to look carefully
over the bills to be introduced for the
codifcatlon of our laws submitted by the
revision committee before they go too
far in their mad career? Who knows
but what those honorable gentlemen
whose work so far has been kept out of
sight and out of reach Of the naughty
newspaper man may have anticipated
your every desire and the entire needs
of the state, and so amended our laws
as that by the adoption of their work
in toto you can adjourn at once. They
say in their report: "It would serve no
good purpose for us (them) to attempt to
review at length the changes which we
(they) have proposed, or to assign rea-
sons therefor" From this it would seem
the commission anticipated that the
legislature would do little else than to
adopt their report. This may account
for Senator Haggart's resolution to adj
jourp on the 22nd of February. As it
was impossible to find the bills yester.
day, it would seem advisable that a com.
mittee be appointed to investigate, and,
after ascertaining their whereabouts
look them wei to see if anything more
is needed.

HOUSE bill No. 7, by Representative
Tofsrud, is a move in the right direc-
ton. 1t provides that taxes shall be a
superior lien to the extent of the taxes
levied thereon. Machine companies and
money loaners take mortgages to secure
indebtedness and when the indebtedness
which the mortgage is given to secure ma
lures, foreclose their mortgages and be-
come the owners of the property. The per-
sons whogave the mortgage, may have be.
come financially irresponsible and the
county loses the taxes. Under Mr.. TOTS
rud's bill the mortgage would be com
PEELED to pay the taxes assessed against
the property and the county would thus
be saved thousands of dollars. No injus-
tice would be done the mortgagor, as he
could provide against loss at the time of
taking the mortgage.

SENATOR STRoM has introduced a bill

before the court shall be authorized the
plaintiff or defendant shall give notice to

that they demand action by the court of
Cancellation, which may be done at any
time before the hour of the day set for
trial. Providing, further, that when the
defendant is a nonresident or absent
from thu county an agent may act in
stead. Under the law, if amended in &C.
cordance with Senator Strom's bifl, trial
may be had on the day of trial, as set in
the summons in case the parties fail to
agree on settlement. Mr.. Strom is of
opinion that the law when amended as
stated, will result in much good in pre-
venting litigation.

REPRESENTATIVE TWICHELL has intro
duced a bill providing that insurance
companies shall pay the full amount of
the policy in case of loss, and that the
sum written shall be presumed prima
facie to be the amount lost. This is a
good measure, and should become a law.
Insurance is a contract between the in
sured and the underwater: the former is
compelled to pay the full amount Of the
contract, and the latter should be obliged
to do likewise. Insurance agents, no
doubt, because they receive a percentage
of the premiums, are anxious that the
face of the policy shall be as large as
possible; and the people are induced to
take insurance largely in excess of the
amount which will be paid in case of a
destruction of the property. Under Nj.
Twichell's plan agents will be more care
full, the cost tf insurance will be lessened
to many, and policy holders will know
precisely what to expect. The moral
hazard will be largely eliminated and the
insurance business will be placed on a
fair and equitable basis. Wisconsin and
some other states have similar laws, and
Mr.. Twichell should be supported in this
important and useful measure.

REPRESENTATIVE WooD introduces a
bill providing that books of account
shall be taken as prima facia evidence
that the matters they contain are true.
This is a wide diversion from the prin-
ciples of evidence as now recognized and
would serve no good purpose. In fact,
it might readily be taken advantage of
by dishonest tradesmen. That part of
the bill which provides that in case the
person making the entries in the book
shall be dead or absent from the state
then it shall be sufficient to prove that
the entries are in the handwriting of the
person purporting to make them, after
which they may be introduced as prima
facia evidence, is particularly objection

ergy which he has at all times displayed

lie service carrying with him the unbound
ed respect of those who have known his

urer continued to be apparent enough
