TAX BILL HAS
PASSED HOUSE
Forced Through in Spite of
Strong Opposition.
IT TOOK ALL TO DO IT
Is Original Tax Commission
Bill NTH Some Amendments
1T TOOK ALL TO Do IT

Topeka, Kan, March 5.-(SpeciaD The
administration lost two wheel-horses-
Leland and Waggener-from its band
wagon today, but drove a tax bill through
the house with a one-horse rig-with
Albaugh as the horse and Governor Bal
ley as the driver. 1t is the first time
that Leland has broken with the admin
istration. He and Waggener hooked up
together against the bill and it took a
sitting of the house lasting rom 2 p. m.
to D. n. before they could be brought
to a standstiIl Leland and Waggener
have been used to running the band
wagon this session. 1t is a new experience
for them TO be under its wheels.
1t was a hard fought contest. The bill
passed was one drawn up by the legis-
lative tax commission, with a few amend
ments 1t was substituted for the SEN
ate bill After the house passed it to-
night. the senate nonconcurred in the
amendments and asked for conference.
This will bring on another big contest.
and it is not certain by any means yet
a
The senate fought all the afternoon on
Wulfekuhler's bill to prohibit the employ
ment of child labor in factories, stores,
offices and mines. Allen started the dis
cussion by moving to postpone action on
the bill indefinitely and talking to the
motion. The bill cut out all children under
"A years and from making a living. He
says that hundreds of young boys were
supporting widowed mothers or orphan
sisters, and this would throw them out
of work and bring want and misery on
the poor. 1t would prevent boys from
carving papers or acting as messengers.
In support of the bill Smith said that
children should spend their time in school
and not in shops and factories; that
good education was more beneficial TO
them in the long run than the money
thev would earn while children. His
theory was that if widows and orphan
girls were dependent upon small lboys
for a living. some other provision should
be made for their care.
Senator Kennedy opposed the bill. He
said that the child who went to work
early in life usually made the most useful
man and citizen. He didn't think that the
legislature should pass a law that would
make boys street loafers and idlers.
Wulfekuhler declared that the employ
ment of boys threw many men out of
work Besides boys should be given an
education, so they could become useful
citizens.
Pestana, Tapp. Carpenter, Porter and
Miller all made strong speeches for the
bill. Fitzpatrick, Ward Hurrel Bran
inc and Noftzger talked against It. Sew
eral amendments were offered and all
were voted down. There was tie each
time. The friends of the measure finally
saw that they could not muster twenty
one votes TO pass the bill. and the motion
to postpone indefinitely was carried I'M
animousy.
