FAVOR SOLDIERS BILL.
r. H. Baker Gives Some Interesting
Information About the Pending
Optcian Bin.

r. Fl. Baker. the optician, says that
opticians generally are in favor of
Representative Birds bill, which al
lows all old soldiers to sell spectacles
in Kansas without q license, claiming
that many old soldiers depend en-
tireIy on such sales for their living,
and such a privilege they are en-
titled to.
Mr.. Baker is not in favor, however,
of Mr.. Smiths bill, which is made for
the purpose of requiring opticians to
pass state examination, before being
allowed to practice, unless the bill be
amended, striking out the second
grade clause, this clause which is in
tended to allow opticians who have
been practicing before the adoption Of
the bill, a second grade certificate,
that they may continue to practice.
Mr.. Baker says there should be no
two grades, as it divides the opticians
into two classes, and If a bill must be
introduced, 1t should require each and
every one practicing optimary in Kan
sas to pass the same examination, just
as is required of practtcing physicians.
The Kansas Association of OPP
tici2nS who are behind the bill, class
all correspondence schools teaching
optimary by mail, in the fake class,
and this Mr.. Baker says should. not
be, as optimary taught by mail Is
given the same attention as any other
science taught by correspondence, and
If a restriction is placed on the teach
ing of Optimary by mail, how then
can they allow OLnSE correspondence
schools to operate in the state unless
they discriminate against the optimary
college teaching optimary by CORE
spondence.
Should the bill pass Mr.. Baker
says the examining board should be
composed of educated gentlemen, un-
interested in the practice Of optimary
only so far as their office necessitates
If the bill be passed Mr.. Baker says
that two-thirds of the opticians of
Kansas would be disfranchised as
there are many men who are fitting
glasses and are experts at it that
could not pass a state examination,
and here is where the association
members come in. as in locations
where an optician is disfranchised, an
association man be put in his stead.
and in a short time the entire optical
business of the state would be in the
hands of the few, and in this the gen
eral public would suffer, as higher
prices would be asked.
Though the passing of the optimary
bill would not affect Mr.. Baker per-
sona1ly. or his college or graduates
from his college. it would affect many
who like Mr.. Baker offer optimary at
a living price, as those unable to pass
the examination would be put out of
business. and it would allows others
to charge exorbitant prices for
glasses, many the same as Mr.. Baker
charges ninety-eight cents for, and
Mr.. Baker don't want all the business

MAY COMPROMISE TAXES.
Senator Chapman's Plan With Rela-
ton to Cities.

Senator Chapman's Plan With Rela-
ton to Cities.
Senator Chapman, from Barton coun-
ty, has introduced a bill in the senate
providing for the compromising of
taxes in incorporated cities.
Senator Chapmans bill provides that
the board of county commissioners
shall not compromise taxes on any
property in an incorporated city until
the city council of that city has APP
proved the compromise.
Senator Chapman thinks the bill
should be made a law. las it is" said
Senator Chapman, the county COM
are usually elected from the
country and they know but little about
conditions in the cities of the county.
When the taxes on piece of city
property have gone unpaid for some
years the owner of the property sug-
gests to the commissioners a conpro-
mise on the amount of the back tax.
The commissioners are not in close
touch with affairs in the cities and may
not know the value of the property.
The councilnen should know the value
of the property and should know
whether the offer is enough and wheth-
er the compromise should be made"
