sion. This was the committee to
meet with the Senate conferees.
and try to patch uD a compromise
on the tax commission bill. The
other members of the committee
were c. L. Davidson, author Of
the house bill, and Chas. B.
Kirkland of Saline. a staunch
friend of the bill.
Just how Chatten stands on the
ID avidson measure is not known,
hut he is supposed TO be friendly
10 it. 1t is the tax commission
bill which naturally appeals to the
western Kansas man as being fair
to the farmers. instead of incIin-
ing toward the railroads. as il is
charged the Senate bill by Wag.
gener does. With Davidson,
Kirkland and Chatten on the com.
mittee, it is highly improbable
that the Waggener bill can bs
crsmmed down the throat of the
house, and the chances are now
that there will be no taxation
legislation.
The Wag9ener bill is the ons
which the Kansas City Star
charged was railroad measure.
which charge caused the banish-
ment OF the Satr's representatives
from the Senate chamber. The
Star was in all probability rich.

Many gentlemen on this floor
introduced their bills early in the
session, and those bills have been
standing on the calendar for weeks
because special orders have been
ferced in ahead. Gentlemen are
complaining because their bills

DID the House committee on
railroads pull the teeth OF the
Guyer reciprocal demurrage bill
while the bill was in hands Of that
committees That this was done
is the charge of Carr Taylor. at
torney for the state board of rail.
road commissioners.
Mr.. Taylor says that the rail
road committee got in its work on
section 3 Of the bill where it
struck out the words If specif-
cally required to do So" The
section as originally drawn read {;
Such applicants, at the time Of
applying for such car or cars,
shall. if specifically required to do
so, deposit with the agent Of the
company one-fourth Of the freight
charges for use Of such car or
cars"
BY striking ont the words
mentioned, it makes it necessary
for the deDosit to be made every
time an application is filed. Mr..
Taylor says. Under the bill as
originally drawn, the railroads
would not generally have required
the deposit. The shipper would
therefore not have been required
to state the point TO which his
shipment was to be moved. As
the bill stands lnow. the shipper
must tell where his shipment i,
going. and ii the destination hap.

shipment is interstate and che

WILL TRY THE
SUGAR BEETS.
10 Experiment This Season With
Them in This County.
$1,000 TO WORK With.

N"'iOh lOI tl6 CluU rOOlnS
Monday. evening to discuss the
sugar beet question. and to see
what could be done in the way of
having a test made, was attended
by a good crowd, and considerable
interest was manifested.
The first part of the meeting
as given over to a report of the
committee sent to Hutchinson to
investigate the oiled road at that
place and to see if such a road
would be practicable south of the
river here, through the sand.
Mr.. Brougher thought that such
a road would be success if it was
properly constructed. but he
needed some figures from the
agricultural college to make a
complete report, so that he was
given more time to report.
Mr.. Bidleman. another member
of the committee. wanted to SUBJ
nit some figures on what it would
cost to macadamize that road, so
the full report of that committee
was held over until the next meet
ing.
After the beet question was
brought up, everybody seemed to
sit up and take notice, and every
body who was on the excursion to
Garden City had something to
say. After there had been cou.
siderable talk among Che members
as to what would be the best
method to pursue, a motion was
made that an assessment of two
dollars per month be levied on
each member OF the commercial
club for sever months. beginning
March 1st. was made but received
no second and was allowed to drop.
Then after more discussion a
motion was made that q stock
company be formed with shares
at ten dollars each to take hold of
the matter, and raise sufficient
money to give the beets q test in
this part of the country.
This motion was passed by a
standing vote of almost every
member present, and. 4 comitt ee
p consisting of five men from the
city three from the country were
appointed to solicit stock at ten
dollars per share. Tie commit
tee appointed by the chair consists
of: W. A. Bolinger, W. E.
Stoke, Fl. E. Lindas. A. E. Tay-
lor, D. G. Luse, Sam Gwinn,
Frank Mckinney and Steve Kelly.
The. soliciting committee went
to WORK at once on those who
we're present and have been
working the town today. securing
a very liberal response to the
movement.
The list of Subscribers up to
noon is as follows:
We, the undersigned, hereby
subscribe for the number OF
