Slap at Stanton.
Cyrus Leland of Doniphan is get
ting himself on record in a good many
directions as a member who is not
afraid to go after the boss buster ma
chine.
This morning. right after being run
over on his Burton resolution. he in
troduced another resolution instruct
ing the judicial committee to investi-
gate the case of State Architect Stan
ton.
Mr. Leland claims that the bill
creating the Office of state architect
failed to pass the senate, and that the
,.1fT zfcf 1fF1
had no right to appoint Mr. Stanton
to the position. He wants the judi
ciary committee to investigate why
the council appointed an architect,
why the auditor allowed his claims
for salary and why the treasurer paid
the salary.
It is not supposed that the judiciary
committee will make any such inves-l
tigation, because it is not the plan
bearing the seal of the boss buster
leaders.
The concurrent resolution providing
for the memorial to congress concern /
ing reclamation of arid lands was
adopted.
Mr. Kinneson introduced a resolu-
ton authorizing the chief clerk to get
three new typewriter tables
What are these typewriter tables
for?" inquired Speaker Stubbs-
For the use of the committees,
said Mr. Kinneson-
f'Oh, they're for the typewriters to
sit on 90 inquired Mr. .Stubbs. There I
was a laugh at this remark, and Mr.. I
Stubbs explained: "I mean for the
machines to sit upon, not the oper-
ators."
For Pittsburg School.
The new manual training school at
Pittsburg has put in a modest applica-
ton for funds to carry on its work. In
comparison with the vast appropria-
tons which the other institutions of
the state demand, the Pittsburg
school. which seems to be supplying a
long felt want for manual training. is
letting the state off rather easily. The
following are the appropriations asked
for:
Current expenses, 1906 S17.5OO
Current expenses, 1907 1880
Purchase OF site and erection
ot building :-.-------- 90, 600
Of building $1,000. $4,000 /
Court of Cancellation.
Mr.. Beekman of Cowley today in
bills-9 It is for a court of conciliation,
to settle labor disputes. It is COM
posed of three members appointed by
the governor. One member is recon-
society of labor and the third is Sc
lected from the supreme court The
court has the authority to investigate
strikes, etc, to compel the attendance
books and papers. If the parties to
the suit agree to the findings that
ends it; otherwise, the bill provides
that the findings shall be published in
the official state paper, in the hope
that public opinion will compel the
parties to accept those terms as a set
uement of the disagreement.
