Topeka, Kan. June 20.--The length
of a shirt is to be an issue in the Kan
sas campaign this year. A farm pa.
per is leading movement to organize
farmers into unions. The argument
advanced is that If every shirt was
made one inch longer the added cloth
would consume the entire surplus Of
cotton. Farmers are urged to organ
ize and stand for this demand.
Chairmen of the democratic and re-
publican state committees declared to-:
day that If this remedy was reversed
to equalize matters in case of an ex-
treme shortage in the cotton crop it
might become very embarrassing.

Washinoton. D. C. June %

some or the old veterans In the
house of representatives are still talk
ing about the achievement Of Con-
gressman A. F. Dawson in breaking all
records in getting through an appropri-
alton for the construction of new
bridge and viaduct connecting Dayen-
port and Rock Island.
In less than three days from the
time the war department received ad-
vices that the bridge was in a danger
GUS condition. the bill had been pass
ed appropriating the money, $125,000.
This might not seem to be excessive
speed until people realize the amount
of red tape that must be gone through
with and the extent of the government
al machinery that must be put in op-
Grafton and the number Of avenues
through which the proposition had to
pass before 1t even reached the house.
Ordinarily requests for appropriations
must be. on file months before congress
convenes and be mulled over and dis
cussed by officials. In the case of the
appropriation for the bridge the path
way for the proposition was creased
and Congressman Dawson was present
when 1t started at every point along
the way and he was present at the
next point when it arrived and kept 1t
moving.
Quick Action.
Congressman Dawson first learned
Of the situation in telegram received
by him from Davenport late Tuesday
night, June A.. He was informed that
the war department had ordered the
bridge closed to heavy traffic The war
department received communication
June 13 from Colonel Blunt, in charge
of the arsenal at Rock Island, convey
ing the information relative to the ser.
ious condition of the bridge. Early Fri
day morning, June Is, Congressman
Dawson was at the war department.
and Immediately there was something
doing. An estimate was Immediately
prepared which was signed by General
Crozier and forwarded to the secretary
of war. He in turn approved the esti
mate and dispatched it to Secretary
Shaw. 1t is we'll known that before
congress will act upon or take cogniz
ance of an item to be included in ar
appropriation bill it must have passed
through all the required channels and
have been recommended by the secre
tary of the treasury. The estimate
reached Secretary Shaw late Friday af
ternoon 1t was Immediately approved
and mailed to the speaker of the house
who in turn passed it on to the commit
tee on appropriations. In this case the
estimate reached that committee just
about noon, Saturday. Dawson was
there to meet it, in fact he had follow
ed the estimate throughout it's course
The sundry civil appropriation
bill had practically passed.
Bill Reopened.
Nothing remained Saturday morn
ing except to put on the finishing
touches. The only way the item fol
the bridge could be inserted was Z
reopen the bill and recur to the por
ton OF the bill dealing with the Roci

and made statement concerning the
house substitute for. the meat inspec-
tion provision, saying that there were
two essential points Of difference be-

One of these, he said, was the
omission by the house of the senate pro-
vision requiring the date of inspection
to be placed on cans containing meat
and the other the transfer of the cost
of inspection from the packers to the
national treasury.
Says Change Is Radical.
Speaking of the latter change he
said that 1t was radical and In his opin-
ion unwise and advised that the house
amendment on that point be not ac-
cept. The packers could, he declared
afford the expense as an advertise.
