1rwas not unpopularity of populist

but the failure of the men to enact
all of the principles: And for this
failure the Populists were not to
blame. They strove for railroad legis-

ultimately by the menace of the feder-

Two years ago q bill was intro
duced in the legislature to provide
for the expense Of having Kansas rep
resented at the Omaha exposition.
Owing to the fact that the holding of
this exposition was not yet assured,
the legislature did not make any
provision for representation. After
wards, when it became apparent that
the exposition would become a great
national affair, the state board of
agriculture passed unanimous resolu-
tions asking that Kansas be repre-
sented. The mayors and councils
and commercial bodies of many cities
in the state also asked that steps
should be taken to the end that Kan
sas might be properly represented.
As ready money was essential to the
success Of the project, 1 asked the
railroad companies of the state to
guarantee $4,000 of such fund.
Some of the roads did not respond.

out of which expenses estimated at
$1,000 must be paid, which would
leave a balance on hand of about
$250O. AS this exposition was of
great benefit to ali the people of the
state, and as the railroads not con.
tributing were benefited as much rs
those who did, deem it just that
the legislature should reimburse all
corporate ons, counties and persons
contributing to this fund, so that the
expense may fall equitably upon all
classes benefited, and 1 recommend
that the legislature reimburse to the
parties contributing all sums of
money so paid.

RAILROAD BILL IN OUTLINE.

RAlLhOAD BILL IN OUTLINE.
Following are the principal provis-
ions of the railroad bill:
Section creates a railroad court
to be known as the court of visitation,
consisting of three judges.

until the next general election.
Section fixes the saleries of the

NEW BILL Is A WINNER.
Fusionists at Topeka Delighted
With Proposed Railway Law.

Fusionists at Topeka Delighte,
With Proposed Railway Law.
Special to the Kansas City Times.
TOPEKA, Kan.-After a week o
diligent preparatian the railroad bill
for the passage of which an extr,
session OF the legislature was called
is ready. It is measure aggressiv,
yet moderate in it's provisions, entail
ling no great hardship upon the com
mon carriers, but capable if properly
enforced of giving shippers and citi
zens generally the relief for which
they have clamored for years. 1t il
bill warranted by such competent
authorities as Louis G. Boyle, Steph
en- II. Allen and David Martin, te
stand any test to which it may b.
put in the highest court in the land
1t would be useless TO conceal the
fact that the populists are delighted
with the bill. 1t is not the Harris
bill, or the Brown bill, or the Leedy
bill, but new bill, embracing all the
best in former measures notable in
Kansas legislative annals. Those OF
the fusion members who have been
given an opportunity to read the new
bill-they are few, for it was com
pleted late this evening-chuckle
when they 60 over it and say: "Isn't
it peach? And it will pass"
Republicans and lobbyists are
claiming on street corners that the
fusion majority in the house has
dwindled to a minority, and sixty
eight pledges have dropped to sixty,
three less than the requisite number.
There is nothing to justify their
claim.
POWER TO END STRIKES.
One feature of the railroad bill,
that comes as surprise, and one not
incorporated in the railroad bills
heretofore, pertains to strikes. 1t
practically gives the railroad court,
or court of visitation, yower to arbi-
trate all differences between the rail-
roads and their employees, and having
determined which is the aggrieved
party to make judgment accordingly,
and has full power to carry that
judgment into effect. If the employ
ers are found to be in the wrong they
can be enjoined from further interfer-
ing with the running of the road. r.
the company is found to be at fault
satisfaction must be given. In case
of the company's refusal the railroad
court is empowered to place the COM
pany in the hands of a receiver and
operate until normal traffic is restor-
ed.
In addition to the railroad bill a
synopsis is given below section by
section, several supplementary rail
road bills will be introduced. One
will be amending the status applying
to corporations to such a degree as to
rob them of anything that conflict
with the new railroad law. There
will also be the more rigid sort of
anti-pass bill. Another bill, design
ed to prevent watering of stock, is al
ready on second reading in the
house.
