The Fifth Special Session of the State Legislature Convenes
 at Topeka.
II ABSTRACT OF SOY. HocH's MESSAGE
Primary Election, Tax Commission and Bank Depositors' Guarantee Laws of First mportance--Wants Prohibition Law strengthened-The Session May Last Ten Days.

Topeka. Kan, Jan. 17.-The fifth Gpecial session of the Kansas legisla- ture convened at o'clock Thursday Afternoon. Practically every member vas present. The senate was called 10 order by Lieut-Gov. w. J. Fftzger- aId, and the house of representatives by Speaker J. s. Simmons. The sen ate and house resumed business just about where they left off at the close of the regular sesion last March
 It was not necessary to elect lot of new officers, or await for the ap- pointment of new committee The formalities concerning the inform ing' of the governor and Informing" each body by the other that the bat tories are ready for action were quick Iy dispensed with, and then the read ing of the governors message com menced.
 The governor announced in his mes oage that the legislature was called 10 enact primary election law, to otrengthen the tax commission law. to e6tablish a bank depositors' guaran- toe fund: to enact railroad legislation and to strengthen the prohibition law. The governor says: T recommend tho enactment of primary election law, statewide in It's character. to Include every state. district and coun- fy officer to be voted for in this state th1s year, and to include also an ex- pression of popular choice for United States senators, and to be operative in the selection of this years candi- dates by every political party"
 The governor says that the demand for the depositors' guarantee law is overwhelming.
 The governor recommends that all doubt of the legality of the state rail road commissioners in establishing tWo-cent passenger fare be removed by enactment of straight two-cent passenger fare law and incidentally repeal of the mileage book law. A bill to strengthen the prohibition law han been prepared and will be sub mitted by the attorney general.
 The governor favors amendment of the pure food law; amendment of the national guard law to bring it in har- mony with the Dick bill, and an act conferring upon the women of Kansas the right to vote for president this year. but the governor does not wish these latter reforms to occupy the at tention of the legislature to the dis placement of the specific measures to pass which the legislature was called together
 After the reading of the message the introduction of bills began. It Is like iy that both branches will adopt . resolution limiting the time for intro ducing bills to the present week. Everybody who has any bills probably had them all ready to present Thurs- day.
 The bills of interest that arc ex- pected to be formulated into laws ara the guaranty deposit law. the primary election bill, the amendment to the assessment and taxation law. the pas sage of two-cent fare law and amend ments to the prohibitory law. It h expected the session will last ten days.
 Gov. Charles N. Haskell of Okla homa, en route home from the Bryan banquet, attended the session of the leRisature.

under all circumstances tell the
whole truth about his members,

then he will find it necessary to
leave town in a hurry. The press

divided into two sections, in order
to cover the ground more thorough

in Washington, where the commits

in the limited time allowed, will
not permit a through study of local
conditions. 1t is equally plain that
no better use could be made of the
