Out at Los Angeles, Cal. they have
people who give some attention to food

RECOGNIZE THE JOINTS.
This Is What Representative Clark's
Bill Would DO.

Speaker Pro Tenn Clark of the house
has introduced a bill which, in a meas
ure, validates the liquor traffic in the
state of Kansas. 1t provides a legal
method for receiving money in an IL
legal manner. 1t provides that a city
which licenses joints must turn over all
the money received to a special fund
to be known as the charity fund, out
of which all the city charities shall be
maintained. The bill says:
Al moneys and other things Of val
ue which shall be hereafter received by
or for any city or any officer of any
city by way of or for any fine, license,
permit, consent, immunity, or delay
from or for the unlawful sale or sales
Of Intoxicating liquor, or other viola
ton of what is commonly known as the
prOhibitory liquor law of Kansas shall
posed of in the manner provided in this
act, and in no other way or manner.
Whenever any money or other thing
of value shall be received by or for any
city for any purpose mentioned in the

pense of the city, for such purpose and
which book shall be called the special
charity account book, and in such book
he shall enter the date of receipt of
such money or other things of value,
the amount received and for what re-

WOULD TAX THE OIL.
City Proposes a Tax of 5000 a Year
on Companies.

An ordinance will be introduced at
the next session of the council provid-
ing for a nearly tax of 5000 on oil COM
panies, refiners of oil, who dispose of
their product in the city. This tax
will make the Standard and National
Oil companies liable. H. Ward Page.
city license inspector, made the dis
covery recently that other cities of the
first class in Kansas had passed or
dinances of a similar character which
are now being enforced with success.
The stand is taken that the Stan
dard and National Oil companies come
siOr Gas & Coke company and the
Edison Light company come. The
latter two companies pay a tax to the
city for furnishing heat, light and
power. The Gas company pays an an
nuaI tax of $3.50 for furnishing heat
pays a, tax of $50 for furnishing light
and power and an additional tax of
SIS for furnishing heat.
The claim is made that the oil COM
panies furnish heat, and light in large
quantities and also power to a certain
extent and that in consequence they
should be taxed without fear or favor
In the light of similar ordinances
in effect in other Kansas cities it is not
expected that the oil companies in
question will fight the passing of the
ordinance
Whether the Standard Oil company
will retaHate for the introduction of
the tax by boosting up the local prices
on gasoline and coal oil remains to be
seen. The two companies mentioned
are the only ones doing business IN
the city. The small retail dealer who
sells from a tank wagon will not be
affected by the tax except in an indi-
direct manner.

The Crawford theater is one of the
oldest buildings in the city of Topeka.
1t is one of the most ancient buildings
in the city from the standpoint of plan
of construction. 1t is not a modern,
sfreproof building. There has been
raised the question of the stability of
the walls of the theater. The building
underwent a fire a number of years
ago, and it is the opinion of some that
the fire weakened the walls to a con-
siderable extent. That is a matter,
however, where there is room for dis
cusSion.

The owners of the Crawford theatre
have not complied with the provisions

The Crawford theatre is extra haz-
ardous for the reason that it is a thea

rooming or tenement-house combin-

Rooms are used as a living apart
ments in the front of the theatre on
each floor above the first floor.
Eight families are at the present
time living in the building, with a
combined total of twenty-five indi-
viduals.
The law stipulates that in building
with acconmo dations for twenty or
more individuals, the fire escapes shall
be provided on the outside of the
building and also provides that ropes

Fire Chief WiImarth, although he
says he has required as many changes
at the era wford theater as are within
his authority to require, will not go on
record as saying that the building is
safe He is doing all within his power
to be ready in case of an emergency,
and keeps a fireman on the stage dur
ing theatrical performances. But while
he has adopted the measures which he
has, it would be unfair to say that he
would assume the responsibility of say
ing to the public that they are safe in
the theater. That is more than Mr..
Wilmarth can promise. He is, however,
doing all within his power under the
existing conditions.
A fire was recently averted in the
Crawford theater building by prompt
work of the f1.e department. The wa
building for the purpose of fire protec-
ton became frozen and Workmen were
thawing it out when the fire occurred.
It was put out with no large loss by
the quick work of the fire department.

The people of Topeka who have paid
high prices for theatrical amusement
for years deserve some recognition.
They deserve to have place provided
wherein they may assemble for theat-

Topeka is at a distinct disadvantage
in this respect in comparison with
neigh boring cities.
