Civil service to govern in the appoint

ordinance which Councilman S A.
Swendson is formulating.
The ordinance, though it. is still in
the embryo, viii soon be presented for
ratification by the city council. The
ordinance will provide for the creation
and appointment of a board Of civil

Though the city council is not given
any express authority to create any
such board as is contemplated in Coun-
Gilman Swendson's proposed ordinance
he believes that the power exists under
the city charter act. He advances this
statement on the theory that there is
likewise no express power delegated to
the city council for the creation Of the
board of waterworks commissioners.
The acts of the board will be kept
within the powers delegated to a city

"Of course we can't extend the ten

is laid down in the city charter act,'
said S. A. SwendsOn, but we can work
towards the line of a permanent civil

WANT LOWER FREIGHT RATES.
Wichita Men Start Movement to Secure
Them All Over State.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 21.-There will be
a mass meeting of citizens, business
men, professional men, farmers, grain
men, millers and stock men of the en-
tire state in this city November p for
the purpose OF making arrangements
and perfecting an organization for the
beginning of an aggressive fight for
better freight rates not only to Wichita
but to every point in the state where
discrimination. now exist
This meeting was decided on Thurs
day night at a mass meeting Of bust
ness men and citizens, who met to take
action to secure better rates to Wichita.
After talking the matter over they con-
cluded that they could do nothing alone
and decided to call in the help of the
farmers and others interested in freight
rates and to extent the movement so
as to take in the whole state.
It was shown at the meeting on
Thursday that Kansas pays higher
rates than any other state in the coun-
try. The state seems to be the center
of the opposition of the railroads, for
goods may be shipped up to the boun-
daries and through the state with much
longer hauls and at greater expense
than goods can be shipped to Kansas
points. 1t was shown that goods come
up to the borders of Kansas. after a
haul of 300 to 500 miles and then a To-
cal rate is ADDED to reach a Kansas
point, this state not having a strict
through rate as other states enjoy.

ARKANSAS CITY's THEORIES.
Visit of santa F'e Men Taken to Mean
EnIargement of Shops.

Arkansas City. Kan, Oct 2L-super-
intendent of Motive Power Alfred
Lowell and Mechanical Superintendent
Risteen of the Santa Fe were here the
other day in Mr.. LOvelrs private car.
They spent the entire time looking over
the company's shops and thoroughly
inspected everything in connection with
the new work being done here. They
had nothing to say concerning their
visit, but they found everything in good
shape.
While there is nothing official in sup
port of the theory, it is believed that
the visit of these two officials means
that the facilities for handling heavy
work in the Arkansas City shops will
soon be increased.
This point is fast growing in import
ance and the officials of the road have
been looking for place where the
heavier work on locomotives, in use on
the southern lines, could be done with
out taking them all the way to Topeka.
Arkansas City presents a good location
and it is very likely that in a short
time there viii be some changes made
here that viii increase the importance
of the shops and viii also increase the
working force
