Success" appears this year in new and
very attractive form. The date figures

Kansas United States Land Offices to
Be Consolidated.
EXPLAINS RICHARDSON'S HESITANCY

I'm Accepting Appointments of the
Topeka Land Ohce-PO1itfcaI Notes.
The local Democratic leaders say that
there is a very good reason why ]. 8.
Richardson does not come to Topeka and
accept the appointment of register of
the United States land Office. Richardson
has neither accepted nor declined the
place.
As the story goes there is a movement
on foot to consolidate all the land offices
in Kansas. There is hardly enough bus
mess to sustain one office whereas there
are three or four. Congress is to beasked
to abolish all but one of the Offices and
then place some one in charge at bet
ter salary than the registers or receivers
now receive.
Chairman Richardson Is waiting for
this consolidation and when it is made he
is to be the land officer for the entire
state at something moro than $500 per
year. This explains why he has neither
accepted nor rejected the appointment
as register of the Topeka Office.
