KANSAS COMAENT
CARR TAYLOR

Ihere IS systematic effort being
made to d1scredit Carr Taylor, the al
torney for the board of railroad COM
m1ssloners, apparently because he is
fearlessly doing his duty. He is the
attorney Tor the people and is trying
10 faithfully serve his clients. The
railroads are denounCing him in the
most violent terms. They say that he
IS demagogue. a grand stand player,
and IS counting the public for political
purposes But it appears that he is
trying to serve his clients as faithfully
as the railroad attorneys do theirs,
and from what he has said or done
TINS is the only legitimate conclusion
that can be drawn. Why, therefore
should he be denounced? It looks
very much like that it was because he
was doing his duty, and for no other
purpose He is opposed in every case
that ne tries by the ablest lawyers in
the state The railroads pool their is
sues, bring in their expert traffic men
and have unlimited means at their
command, While Taylor has no assist
ance except that provided By the com
pldlnant, the state not even furnish
ing him typewriter. He is publicly
denounced by members of the board Of
commissioners because he preferred to
nave an ONCE IN room to hlmselr
rather than be compelled to have his
once IN the room of a member Of the
board He is accused of trying to
quarrel with the commissioners be-
cause he insists that they ought to pro-
ance. If he had been plant and sub
servlent to the interest of the corpO-
rations rather than to the people he
would have been regarded as a. safe
man., but since he seems to believe
that his first duty is to protect the in
as an agitator and demagogue.- Sd

NEED OF A PRIMARY LAW.
The present agitation by both par
ties to the Second district congress
siOnal contest for a primary election,
and the resultant discussion of ways
and methods of conducting the pri-
maries emphasizes the need of gen
eral primary law WHICH not only shall
make a primary election necessary to
nominate candidates butNsShallg also
prescribe the exact method of organic
ing and conducting the primaries.
Shawnee county Republicans. whose
primary election is practically the cleo
ton of public officials, are petitioning
their central committee to throw
safeguards around their primary cleo
tions and make them fair contests. SO
much illegal voting has gone ON at
primaries there heretofore that in one
or two instances the vote at the pri-
maries has been greater than the total
vote cast at the election following
There was no way to detect the guilty
parties. and no law to punish them if
caught. If the state of Kansas had a
good primary law such a disgra ceful
condition of affairs would be impOssi-
BILE. And besides, there would be no
loop-hole left for one faction to crawl
out at by claiming the other side would
not agree to fair primary election
