Gov. Hoch and Railroad Law.

President George and a half dozen
other members of the Kansas fedora
ton called upon Gov. Hoch in body
to urge him to use his big stick" in
behalf of the passage of the federation
railroad bill. Gov. Eoch indicated that
he would not use his big stick for the
bill. 1--WE have a fairly good law
now" said lac, land | think If some
slight amendments are made to 1t, thu
shippers Of Kansas will be fully pro.
tected" The amendments deemed
necessary are to require railroads to
furnish cars promptly and to give the
state board of railroad commission
ers power to prevent discrimination.
Hoch and Stubs both thought that II
the railroad boards power was en-
larged to this extent, Kansas would
have model railroad law.

HoCH AND OIL REFINERY.
Regarding q Perplexing Question
Now Before the Legislature.

Topeka, Kan. Feb. TN view OF
the charge made In some quarters that
he had Topped on the oil refinery prop
osition, Gov. Hoch issued statement
giving his ideas clearly. He Is OPP
posed to a 100000 appropriation, but
favors one of $4,000 to $4,000. Incl
dentally, he declares that the first
thing the legislature should do Is to
enact the party pledges into law. 1T
will be unfortunate for the republican
party of this state and for all the peo-
pie of the state if this legislature per-
mits itself to become embroiled in any
controversy which shall divert atten-
tion from the platform promises of the
republican party and ultimately de-
feat the fulfllment of any or all OF
these promises. These matters have
been thoroughly discussed for nearly
O year; the legislature and the people
understand them. The redemption OF
these pledges is a comparatively easy
and simple matter. Let the legislature
push these platform promises and en-
act them into law this week, If posi-
BILE, and then let 1t take up any new
question and discuss it in fair and
candid and friendly manner"
Speaker Stubs also issued a state
ment telling why he opposes the oil
refinery proposition. He says 1t would
revolutionize the states methods OF
doing business and could not succeed.
He says that only a half dozen coun-
ties are vitality interested.

Price Raid Clnimn.

The legislature voted to pay the
Price raid claims, aggregating $23S, 900.
They are for damages inflicted by "Old
Pap" Price and his army during the
civil war. The general government
made an appropriation to pay them
nearly 80 years ago and turned the
money over to Kansas. Kansas
promptly embezzled the money and has
had the use of 1t ever since. If the
same law applied to states and indi-
viduals Kansas would be in the peni-
Tertiary serving a long sentence. For
while some of the claims are doubtless
fraudulent, the government turned
over money to pay them all.

Saved by n Corpse.

The fact of man having his life
saved by corpse is certainly unusual
enough to attract attention. Recently
there was a railroad wreck south OF
Wichita. One of the baggagemen on
this train was Charles Shafer, whose
home is in Concordia. When the
crash came Shafer was thrown to one
end of the car and a coffin containing
a corpse came hurting after him. The
coffin covered Shafer in such a man.
ner that it prevented big iron safe
from piling on him and smashing his
body to a pulp. His partner in the
car was killed.
