The citizens OF Kansas are entitled

freight rates. Tha sooner the matter
Is settled the better.
The board Of railroad commission.
ers was clothed by the last legislature

ity to investigate, make and put in
effect passenger rates as well as to
re-sdJust and reduce freight charges.
1t was also given large sum Of
money to cover the expenses In con-
nection Herewith.

handed by the people Of Kansas and
1t should act promptly. In event 1t

the legislature together in special

From information which / have at

two-cent fare law would be promptly
passed by that body. The expense
OF short special session would be
very small when compared with the
saving Of straight two cent rate to
the people Of Kansas.

"The apportionment and contingent
distributions of the deferred dividend
surplus on existing life policies of all
companies as a condition precedent
to the transaction Of business outside
Of the home states of the several COM
panies."
The first four articles Of the reso-
buttons we're adopted without discus
sion or change. The 9th paragraph
brought out a spirited contest. The
committees report recommended ap-
proval of bill forbidding the use Of
the mail service to any persons or
associations conducting any kind Of
insurance business in this country,
unless they obtain license or permit
to conduct business from the proper
officer Of the United States, or OF the

tended that the purpose was to AFFORD
