Kansas Editors in Session.

The annual meeting Of the Kansas Ed
itorial Association began at Kansas City
Monday of last week. About 300 men,
bers were present when President H. A.
Perkins delivered his annual address.
He unfavorably commented upon the
practice of receiving advertisements
from large advertising agencies at low
rates He opposed the postal bill now
before congress-, which he said would
work to the disadvantage of the coun-
try papers. He advocated the formation
of an association by the $50 editors OF
Kansas to erect monument to the
memory of Ex-Governor John A. Martin.
Following President Perkins address,
resolution of regret on the death of ex-
Governor Thomas A. Osborn was intro
duced by George w. Martin.
V. j. Lane introduced a resolution
that the association appropriate $100
toward the erection of a monument over
the grave of Ex-Governor Martin. 1t
was amended to provide for the appoint
ment Of committee to have charge,
with power to act, of the associations s

inform parties that no one was expected
to comply with the law. This fact may
make it more difficult for Secretary
Bush to obtain prompt compliance with
his directions. An illustration of what
his work is accomplishing is shown by
the list of Wyandotte county. Before
the letters were sent out it comprised
over 800 corporations. Now there are
about $50 remaining, and it is estimated
that this number will be cut in two by
the time all the dead companies are
found out.
The work is being done very thor
oughly. and by the time all the returns
are in there will be no dead matter about
the Secretary of States corporation rec
ord. A blank requesting statement
and letter calling attention to the law
were first sent out, and to those corpo-
rations from which no replies were re-
ceived after reasonable time second
letter was dispatched, giving notification
of the penalty for refusal to answer.

Compilation of Labor Laws.

Labor Commissioner Lee Johnson is
preparing compilation of the laws of
the State relating to labor. Nothing of
this sort has been done for eight years,

that time a compilation will prove
timely. The pamphlet will be for gen

The Proposed Railroad Rate Bill.

The letter sent to the members of the
Legislature by Governor Leedy with the
proposed railroad bill Is In full as fol-
lows:
Dear SIR: enclose you draft Of
railroad bill which desire to submit for
your consideration. The last session Of
the Legislature developed the fact that
the Views of the members upon this
question were widely diverse Some
were In favor Of very stringent leglsla-
ton, and some Of no legislation upon
this question. Believing that great ma
jOrity Of the people Of the State desire
that something be done along this line,
this bill has been prepared, with the
view of making a moderate and fair bill,
without going to either extreme, with
the hope that III will meet with favor
with majority Of the members. The
bill has been prepared in accordance
with the results OF the experience OF the
present Railroad Commission as eX-
pressed in their recent report. 1t has
been examined by some OF the best law
yers OF the State
would esteem 1t a great favor IL you
would study the provisions of this bill
and let me know whether or not you
would vote for It In case the Legislature
was called in session. Very truly yours,
JN0. w. LEEDY.
