TOPEKA. Kan, Feb. 15.-The house
by vote Of hundred and six to
nothing, before the noon adjournment
passed the state bill fixing maximum
freight rate on oil. The measure Is de
signed to give producers a chance to
market their product independent of
the Standard Oil company and reduce
present rates about fifty per cent

ierred to the judiciary committee with
orders to report Monday, the senate
anti-discrimination bill which forbids
the sale of the commodity cheaper in
one part of the state than another
after freight rates were reduced. Job
bers are opposed to the bill because
IT applies to every corporation and
not solely to the Standard Oil, against

amendment making the bill apply to
oil also would make it Illegal. The
house this afternoon will take up the
bill making pipe lines common car
riers and establishing state refin-
cry. Speaker Stubbs. the most power
