march from Tannhauser," and selec-
tionS from Romeo and Juliet"

MIR. BIRD IN WICHITA.
Goes to Prepare Bills for Cities of
First Glass.


City Attorney Bird went to Wichita
today to attend a meeting Of the at
torneys of the Municipal league. At the
meeting Of the mayors and attorneys Of
the league which was held in Kansas
City several weeks ago bills were given
each attorney which they were to pre-
pare in order that they might be intro
duced in the legislature this winter Ihe
bills are measures which the dlfrerent
cities composing the league think will be
beneficial to cities of the first class.
At the meeting in Wichita today the
attorneys will read the bills they have
prepared, and they will be discussed
and changed or sanctioned as a MAORI
ty Of the attorneys may decide The bills
will then be presented for final sanction
to the Municipal league which will meet
in Topeka December 5 and 6.
Three bills were assigned to Mr.. Bird
to prepare. The most important one
provides for the taxation at their actual
value of all franchises Of every nature
that may be granted to corporations by
cities of the first class in Kansas. The
supreme court of this state has specified
franchises as property and the league
now hopes to get the bill through the
legislature.
Another of the bills prepared by Mr.
Bird provides for the planting of shade
trees in the front Of property where
there are no trees and the levying of the
cost in the tax rolls against the prop
erty. This bill is asked for by several
OF the cities aIlnOuSn WlCnlld ana To-
peka. will have little need of such legis-
latiOn.
The third bill is one that is advocated
by every city in the league. 1t provides
for the reduction of witness fees in the
police court. At the present time the
city is paying $1.50 to a witness to ap-
pear in the police court and the bill Will
reduce this to so cents. In view Of the
fact that a witness in the police court is
not required to lose more than an hour
of time in attending court, the bill seems
just. The police court is entirely differ
ent from the district court in the amount
of time required from the witness and
the cost should be less. The witness
fees in the police court cost the city of
Topeka about $50 per month.
In discussing the object of the league
this morning, Mayor Drew, who is presi-
dent of the league, said that the meas
legislature to pass were all necessary
and would be to the interest Of not only
cities of the first class but Of the second
class as well.
There are a number Of cities Of the
second class and of the third class which
desire legislation and by joining the
Municipal league they Will be more apt
said the mayor.
1.-THE cities of the second class have
about the same matters to contend with
that the cities of the first class. Many
of them are now discussing the building
of electric light and water plants. and
some of them are talking Of paving. I
hope that the officers of the cities Of the
meeting OF the league in December. 1t
viii benefit all of US if they will take an
active interest in the matter of secur-
ing legislation"

regard to congressional district boun-
daries, Judge A. w. Benson of Ottawa
will be a formidable factor. He is a vet
eran lawyer; ex-judge; is very popular
and enjoys the distinction of being
among the foremost members of the
Kansas bar. However, the location of
Judge Benson is a feature which will
work aginst him, because Franklin coun-
ty now has the offices of private secre-
tary to the governor and assistant sup

George Barker of Lawrence, is also
