odopted the people of a municipality
would decide among themselves upon all
matters Of local interest and their actions
could not be interfered with by the leg
islature. The community would also
have complete control Of all public utili-
ties and if found desirable could acquire
title to woterworks, electric light and gas
plants, telephone systems and ike insu-
tutions. The resolution follows;
ANY city, township or county may
frame a charter for it's own complete To-
cal government when il shall be 80
determined by a majority OF the electors
within such city, township or county at
an election petitioned by 20 per cent Of
the voters. Such charter may provide that
municipal services anu all affairs of pure
" local nature shall be given over to 10
cal sovereignty. free Of legislative inter
ference In their relations to the state
interests, such cities, townships or coun-
ties shall remain fully under the control
of the legislature acting through general
laws The legislature shall provide by
suitable legislation for the carrying of
this section into effect
Mr.. Green also introduced another reso-
luton to amend the constitution so as to
authorize the adoption Of Henry Georges
single tax scheme. The proposition is to
give either the legislature or municipal
ity power to exempt from taxation all
personal property or Improvements upon
land. The resolution follows:
THE legislature shon have power by
law to exempt any or all personal prop
erty or Improvements on land from any
and all taxation. The voters Of any coun-
ty, township or city in the state may, by
vote at any general election, exempt or
refuse to exempt from all taxation any or
all personal property and improvements
on land; provided, however, that such
question shall be submitted to the voters
by virtue of petition signed by not less
than 20 per cent Of the voters of such
county, township or city and filed with
the county, city or township clerk not
less than thirty nor mora than ninety
days before the election. ANY part or
Parts of the article Of the constitution
conflicting with the provisions of this
section are hereby amended to conform
herewith"
I do not suppose that either of these
resolutions has the least chance Of being
adopted" said Mr. Green. "The plan of
local self-government has been adopted
partially in California and has worked
successfully. The land tax proposition is
now in force in New Zealand and the peo-
pie prefer it to any other II is eminent
ly just and fair TO all and especially
catches the landed monopoles"

ROAST FOR REGENTS
John Francis Discovers a Very
Glazing Leak
IN THE COLLEGE FUNDS
Extravaganza Practiced Under
Leedy'S Administration.
IN THE COLLEGE FUNDS

Topeka, Feb. 19-The regents Of the
state Agricultural college. appointed by
Governor Leedy, We're severely censured
yesterday in the house by John Francis,
chairman Of the ways and means com
mittee. and by Mr. Giessler Of Logan,
member Of the same committee.
When the bill introduced by the ways
and means committee, appropriating $4,000
to cover deficiency in the expenditures
for the agricultural college, came up in
the committee of the whole, Mr.. Francis
rose TO a question Of personal privilege.
Il desire to say he said, that these
accounts are correct but I wish to en-
phasize the fact that the board Of re-
gents Of the college were derelict in their
duty and guilty of grave eXtravagances-
While the creditors are entitled to their
money l wish the house to know that the
board is to blame for the deficiency"
'-The attention of the house and the
people Of the static Of Kansas" said Mr..
Glessler, should be called 10 the extrava-
gauce Of the board. Notwithstanding the
law that the board shall not contract in
deotedness in excess of the amount appro-
prl2Leo, me BOARD went aFeaQ ana incur
red this debt They should be severely
censured. Moreover. I wish to state en-
phadcauy it is not the present board that
is to blame. but the board appointed by
Governor Leedy."
Newspaper reporters viii please take
notice" broke in Chairman Harris.
II OBJECT" said Mr.. Babb Of Sedgwick,
"to the bold. bad Republicans Of the house
kicking the F'oDulists after they are
down"
The bill was then read and recommend
ed for passage without debate or amend
ments.
Quite a fight came up over Mr.. Seatons
bill relating to the collection of delin-
quent taxes. 1t makes more stringent the
present law and permits the giving of an
absolute deed to property sold for taxes.
Mr. Giessler moved to strike out the en-
acting clause, which was lost it was
urged by the advocates Of the bill that it
would enforce the payment of taxes. The
others claimed it would be an injustice to
the poor man.
An attempt was made by Mr. Babb to
have the penalty reduced from twelve to
eight per cent. This. however, failed.
With q few technical amendments the
bill was recommended for passage.
