Hutchinson gazette., 1900-12-27

A PETITION Is being extensively cir.
culated, not only in this city and
county but In all parts of the state urg-
ing the legislature to make suitable
appropriation to establish salt plant
at the reformatory, 1t is the purpose
and intention of the petitioners to
have a plant established on the same
principle as the twine plant in Lans-
ing at the pennitentary, which operates
against the twine trust. In this case
the plant would produce salt and put
on the market in competition with the
the salt trust, But what will be the
attitude Of our senator elect on the
proposition is n pu2zler, 1t will prob
ably be contended by some that the
whole s,h3me was formed with the
purpose Of putting him in the atti-
tude Of lighting an appropriation for
his own city, or Of working for bill
that would be diametrically opposed to
the interests Of the salt company or
trust of which he is the resident mana
ger. 1t is hardly likely that the pres
ent legislature will look with any favor
on any plan Of this kind. However
the bill for establishing the twine plant
at the pennitentiary originated with a
republican leader and was supported
quite generally by both parties. But
the trusts and the trust representatives
will probably have to call halt soon
on this line Of institutions. Next
will come an agitation in favor of the
State securing control of some of the
oil lands in this State and the manu-
faCture of all oil products at cost for
all citizens of the State. In fact there
are petitions being circulated for such
o measure now, But Hutchinson is
particularly interested in the salt plant
project because 1t would come here.
But we may soon expect to hear re-
publlcans In our own town contendng
that we should not push such meas
ure for fear that we offend the trust
and 1t should shut down.

WHETHER or not an uprising of the
ID Itch population in Cape Colony Is
imminent, 1t il q very obvious fact
that there Is just now more gloom in
London than there has been at any
time since Butler quit crossing the
Tugela. The capture OF several hun
dred British prisoners in . block, the
break away and escape Of DeWet and
the threatened invasion of Cape Col
ony have convinced the world II II has
not convinced Lord Roberts that the
war Is not ended. There is no reli-
able information concerning the likeli-
hood Of a general rising among the
Cape Ouch AS the information all
comes through British channels it is
probably as great as the reports indi-
cate at least. If they should rise, join
Issues with the republican forces and
fight with the energy of which the
race is capable, II Is safe to say that
England would not only be unable to

NOT SO BAD.

In response toa r6queGt from the
Mail and Breeze as to the work Of the
legislature Senator Frank Vincent re-
plies 40 follows; The most important
matter to come before the next legis-
lature In the way Of legislation will be
the creation Of State railroad com
mission, clothed with proper author
ity to carry out its decisions. Also an
amendmentt to the election laws Some
sort of o law should be passed for q
uniform valuation In assessments.
II they will follow this out II ls not
80 bad. But they won't, They will
probably give us u railroad commits
sion which will draw It's salary from
the people but give no equivalent. No
railroad law will effect anything that
does not empower the commission to
take up schedules and fix them on its
own initiative. Such u board will not
be likely to be created by this leglsa-
ture, and any board appointed by Stan.

Some amendments to the election
laws are probably needed, but not the
ones that will be enacted by the re-
publicana, On the matter Of assess.
ments everybody seems agreed, That
is they agree that the present law Is
wrong, But it is very doubtful
whether this Legislature will do any
better than those past in correcting the

FROM most Of the reports that are
sent abroad from Topeka where a new
United States senator is in process of
making, the indications seem to point
TO Burton as the man. Burton is only
a very ordinary sort of a man in ap-
pearance, except his clothes, Seen out
in the "madding crowds ignoble strife"
one would pick him for q muslin clerk
or a floor walker in some department
store. Scrutini2ed more closely, long,
foe, haggard lines appear in his face
apparently put there by days aud nights
OF chasing after an office and other
things less respectable. There is a
deep chest and shoulders that indicate
more strength than is noticeable on first
sight There is also an eye that is
bold, and penetrating, but it is the eye
OF q gambler or q crook. And around
him ia u personal reputation that would
drive a limberger cheese factory out of
business, Should he be elected it
would seem to warrant the conclusion
that the prerequisite for securing high
places at the hands of a republican
constituency is long service in sin,
and reputation for deadbeat, If
the members Of the legislature have no
care for their own respectabllity or the
decency of their party, they should at
least have thought enough for the good
name of the State to elect man at
whose name respectable people will
not feel called upon to blush.
