NEW GRAFT STORY.
Evidences of Fraud in County
Officers Bill.

Columbus, Kan. Nov. ia disclose
ure made here before the board of coun-
ty commissioners indicates a gross error
or intentional fraud in the publication
of senate bill No. 479, passed by the last
legislature. The record of the senate
shows that the bill was passed unan-
imously by that body and passed by a
vote of 81 to l by the house, as recon-
mended by the committee.
The act as published in the session
laws of 1908, is at variance with the
journals of the senate and of the house,
showing that it was passed by both
houses regardless of the recommended
ton OF the committee" The bill applies
register of deeds in the counties of Clay,
Cherokee Brown, Marshall Pottawat-
onie, Wabaunsee. Atchison, Geary, An
derson, Chase and Shawnee.
Senator Householder was before the
board and it was through him that the
disclosure was made. The commission
ers have the matter under considera-
ion.
This law was introduced by. Senator
Fulton of Marshall county. 1t pro-
vides for giving the registers of deeds
of the counties named in the bill the
excess fees, which would otherwise go
into the county treasury. for the pur-
pose of paying clerk hire, up to
stated amount in each county. Orig
inally it applied only to Clay, Chero-
kee, brown, Marshall, POlLaWaIOfnle,
Wabaunsee, Atehison, Geary Ander-
son, Chase, and Shawnee counties
When it reached the house other
registers of deeds wanted to get in on
the raise. and some of the members
from the counties named would not
consent to allow the-bill to apply to
their counties. 1t was therefore
amended, taking out Brown, Marshall.
Atchison and Chase, and putting in
Labette. Lyon, Republic. Cowley. OF
tawa.. Pawnee. and Bourbon.
In Shawnee county the register of deeds
was given $1,000 of the excess fees fer
clerk hire. In other words the salary of
the register of deeds was raised 81, 600 In
Cherokee county the amount was $500 and
in other counties the amounts were less.
The senate refused to concur in the
house amendments and a conference COM
mittee was appointed with the result that
Ottawa, Bourbon, Cowley and Cherokee
counties were stricken out of the bill and
reducing the amount in Lyon county from
$500 to $500.
The conference committees report was
adopted.
AS the bill was enrolled. however it was
| like the original passed in the house and
it so appears N the statute book. 1t would
seem that this would invalidate the en-
| tire law

MAYOR TURNED DOWN.
Boiler Insurance on City Hall Is
Approved.

At a meeting of the committee on
public buildings, Councilmen Swandson
and Ryder took a slap at Mayor Ber-
gundthal by refusing to cancel the boil
er insurance of $4,000 which the city
has been carrying on the boilers which
heat the city hall.
A few weeks ago the mayor held up
the bill for the future premium on the
boiler insurance for the reason. as he
stated, that boiler insurance was a graft
so far as the boilers in the city hall
are concerned. He said there was no
danger from such boilers. and recon-
mended that the city save the premi-
ums by cancelling the insurance.
Councilman Swendson, who usually
lines up contrary to Mayor Bergund-
thai, bitterly opposed the cancellation
of the insurance when the matter came
before the committee. He persuaded
Dr. Ryder to vote with him. Joseph
Griley stood by the mayor, but was viii
ling to compromise on 5000. The com
mittee had power to act, and SO the
mayor has no recourse to the veto
