FORMING BROOM TRUST.
Only IL or 10 Big Factories VIII Be
Admitted to the Merger.

Chicago, May 25.-The Inter Ocean
today says:
At a meeting of representatives of
the principal broom manufacturing
companies of the United States held
here, action has been taken which
practically insures the formation of
a combination of the principal com
panies under the name of the Ma
tional Broom company. The new
company will be formed on a strict
basis of actual valuation.
At the meeting it was decided to
include only about seventeen or
eighteen of the larger broom com
panies of the country and to put the
capital stock at about 100000.
One of the advantages of the mer-
ger is said to be uniformity in the
manufacture of brooms, for instead of
there being ten varieties to each in
diVidual factory. there would be ten
standard kinds for the entire country
Brooms will also be shipped from the
nearest factory and all settlements
will be made through a central office

One coupon had fallen due and had
been collected by Mr.. Burrows com
pany before the bonds We're sold to the
state. It will also be noticed that from
bond number 6, which will come due
August 1, 1907, one more coupon was
clipped than from the Others On this
bond the state will receive no interest
until August 1, 1906
This table also shows that on bond
number 4 all the coupons were clipped
and the state will receive no interest
school fund has had 81, 600 tied up since
January %, 1903, and will continue to
have it tied UP until August l, 1905.
One of the peculiar features in con-
nection with this deal is that it was
made just as soon as the present school
fund commission went into office MI
Burrow had purchased the bonds at
per cent and within nine months sold
them to the state school fund commits
sion, of which he is one of three mem
bers, at a basis supposed to be per
cent. Either the city of Smith Center
or the state school fund was buncOed,
and Mr.. Burrows Home Investment
company was the gamer thereby. If the
bonds were a good investment for the
state school fund in January, 1903, they
certainly were in March, 1902 At one
time the old school fund commission
which preceded the present one had
about 100000 awaiting investment IL
the bonds were offered to the old COM
mission, as the law provides they
should be. and were turned down at
per cent, it would not seem that they
would be a good investment nine
months later at 4 per cent.
So far as is known there was moth
ing illegal in the transaction but it
does not look very well on it's face The
other two members of the school fund
commission are superintendent Day
hoff and Attorney General Coleman.
In case these bonds should be paid
off before they are due, and they are
payable at any time, or if they are re-
70 MT
which is likely, then it would appear
that the state had sacrificed the cOu-
pons to no purpose, would have abso-
lutely thrown away the coupons and
would not even get 4 per cent on its
investment and on a portion get no in
terest whatever

There are several very worthy old
people whom the flood and other
misfortunes have left helpless and
destitute. They are suffering for the
small comforts of life, such as wheat
bread, butter, and fruit They would
be devoutly thankful for the broken
food left from our tables and from
picnics and banquets. A well known
Shawnee pioneer will carry this food
to them if 1t is sent to my office.
These destitute old people We're early
settlers in Kansas, and helped to re-
duce the wilderness to the comfort
able paradise it is now, and our citi-
zens will not allow them to suffer for
these small comforts, I feel sure.
hope you will not forget this matter.

FOLLOWED OUR LEAD.
Course of Study Adopted by the State
Committee.

The state committee which selected
the course of study to be adopted as
the uniform course for the Kansas
schools selected a course practically
the same as was inaugurated in the
Shawnee county school two years ago
by County superintendent S. #.
Wright. Since the Shawnee schools
began using the course it has been
adopted for the Leavenworth county
schools and now it will be used for the
state course.
A committee on revision is composed
of w. w. Maze, superintendent of
Ellsworth county, +. w. Lenne, super
intendent of Rice county, and ]. NJ.
Gilman, superintendent of I.eaven-
worth county. This committee will
make the final report on the course to
be adopted. The report will be made
by the middle of July in time for
adoption at the next term of school.
With the uniform course for all
rural schools in Kansas the changing
of scholars from one school to another
can be made with out loss of time or
extra study. The course covers nine
years of school terms and provides
for seven months to the term. Some
schools hold six months and some
eight, but the average is seven and
the terms work can be shortened or
heightened as is necessary to meet the
term of school
There is no appropriation for the
printing of the course of study and
committee composed of S. F. Wright
of Topeka, Mary McCreary, superin-
tendent of Lyon county. and Jl1Ifa M
Stone, superintendent of Cloud coun-
ty, was appointed to make arrange
ments for the publication.
The course will be printed in pam
phlet form and will be done by the
company which will place the printed
pamphlet containing the course on the
market at the cheapest price

Secretary of State Burrow will recon-
mend in. his biennial report that the legis-
lature pass a law letting the state print
ing to the lowest bidder. He estimates
that it viii save the state at least S25, 900.
1t would probably take an amendment to
the constitution to do this, as the cOnsti-
tuition provides for state printer The
present pending amendment is to change
the election of the state printer so that
he will be elected by the direct vote of the
people instead Of by the legislature. Mr..
Burrows idea could be practically put in
to effect. however. by putting the state
printer on salary to superintend print
ing plant owned by the state.
