brought with him his wife and a valise
full of new bills. Mr.. and Mrs. Montee
will stay in Topeka and keep louise
during the remainder of the session. -,
Two of the bills which MI. Montee VIII
introduce promise to stir up the corpora
tions and are already for presentation ana
may go before the house today one Is
for the taxation of express companies; the
other for the taxation of telegraph ana
telephones. The bills are drafted after the
Ohio law, which has been sustained in the
supreme court.
They provide for a biard of ap-
praisers, to be composed of the audltor,
treasurer, lieutenant governor, secretary
of state and attorney general, and a sys-
tenn of reports which the companies must
fill out. The report calls for detailed IN
formation about the company, the number
of miles of railroad or wire over Whlcn
it does business in the state, also the total
for the United States. The assessors n
figure out the proportion which kansas
sustains to the whole and fix the assessed
value on that proportion of the capital
| stock of the company. 1t is a very BAD
dose for the express, telegraph and teie-
phone companies

extent that is frightful. CLERKS and
office men are hardly able to go to

five glasses of these secret drugs, and
the laboring population is almost as

Christian Temperance union (Which
thinks the medical profession respon-
sible for alcoholism and drug habtts)
is respectfully called to this atrocious
abuse. Saloons also help in the de-
grading horror of drugging the al
ready wretched quality Of the liquors

unite with the medical profession to
check this abuse. Women's civic inn

of important positions are to be hlled:
and the politicians have "settleo
them SO often that they are I4snis

silent as a sphinx.
The fact of the matter. as stated by
Governor Hoch himself today, is as
follows:

p~Ointments," said the Governor,
nearly as much as some other peo-
pie What 1 am chiefly interested IN
just at this time is the work OF the
legislature. I want this legislature to
improve its opportunity, and redeem
the pledges made by the Republican
party. The legislature has a work to
do; it has certain we'll defined things
to accomplish. Whatever 1 can do in
a proper way to bring this about,
will do. I expect to use all my powers
of persuasion on the members of the
legislature to induce them to carry out
the party pledges
appointments can wait until lis
more important work is out of the
way. I have not decided what ap-
pointmentS / will announce first; ]
have made up no special programme
for myself. I am making the fulfill
ment of the promises of the platform
my principal business"
It is right in line with this statement
that the governor has selected for him
self and announced a subject for his
speech before the Kansas Day club this
evening. On the programme Governor
Hoch is down for AN Address" Gov
ernor Hoch said today:
Il have not time to write speeches; /
am going to talk to the members of the
