Attorney General Fred S. Jackson
has filed mandamus proceedings in
the supreme court against Frank NJ.
Holcomb, county clerk of Wyandotte
county, to compel him to turn over
to the state total of $1,02S.25. This
amount Of money is that collected by
Holcomb as hunters licenses during
the three years ending June 30. I'm
der Kansas statute all hunters must
have licenses. These cost a dollar
each and are issued by the county
clerks. Holcomb has turned over to
the state only part Of the money he
has collected. Jackson contends that
Holcomb has no authority to hold the
money and that 1t should be paid at
once. The court granted an alterna-
tive writ of mandamus, returnable
January g. Holcomb must pay over
the money at once or show cause why
he does not.

An "anti-spitting" bill will be intro
duced at the coming session of the
legislature by Captain Clad Hamilton,
Senator from the Shawnee district.
The bill, If 1t becomes a law, will pro-
hibit expectorating on the floors of
street cars, passenger coaches and
other public conveyences. It will also
require that cuspidors be supplied in
all such places. The bill will con-
fer upon the conductor or other Off
cial in charge of the conveyance au-
thority to Arrest the offender at once
and place him In charge of proper Off
cials at the first stop. The railroads
are said to be strongly In favor Of
such law. They will make new rules

Shawnee Leads in Druggists Permits.

Shawnee Leads In Druggists Permits.
In preparation for the fight the
State Temperance Union will make in
the coming legislature for law re-
quiring all druggists to give bond to
the amount of $4,000 to cover all dam
ages that may result from the use OF
liquor they sell, data has been pro.
cured from the probate judges
throughout the state regarding the
number of permits and the amount of
liquor dispensed by the drug stores
of every county. The Temperance
Union has spent the past two months
gathering facts on this phase Of the
liquor business. OF the 1O5 counties,
103 were heard from.
In over half Of the counties-63 to
be exact-not single druggist permit
is now outstanding. IN the 103 coun-
ties heard from, there are 300 permits.
Eight counties have only one, and sev.
enteen over five permits in force. Six
counties Of the state hold over half
the permits. The names of these
counties and the number of permits
are as follows: Cherokee, II; Leav-
enworth, Is; Labette, II; Sedgwick,
80; Shawnee, As; Wyandotte, 80.
From this list it can be seen that
Shawnee county has the most permits
outstanding, and next In succession
comes Wyandotte and Sedgwick
counties.

A British peer advocates temporary
confiscation of car for automobile
speeding. The remedy is, in the opin-
ion Of the Baltimore American, rather
drastic, but it is evident from the in
creasing number of accidents and the
disregard for life and limb manifested
by the speed maniacs that something
must be done in the way of punitive
legislation. The present system Of
fiues Is wholly inadequate; in fact, they
constitute but the smallest part of the
running expenses of motoring, and
plainly are so regarded.

Scheme to HeIp The Farmers.

Senator George H. Hunter Of We'll
lington has evolved plan to make
Kansas turkey wheat the premier
wheat of the world and to greatly
stimulate the production of high
grade wheat in Kansas. Senator
Hunter is putting his plan in the form
of a bill which will be Introduced in the
next legislature shortly after the
beginning Of the approaching session.
He was in Topeka in conference with
F. D. Coburn, secretary Of the state
board of agriculture, and others In
terested in the wheat growing indus
try regarding his plan. Secretary Co
burn is enthusiastic in Endorsement OF
he plan which Senator Hunter will
present, and thinks that its adoption
will be Of almost inestimable advan-
tage to the formers of the state.
Senator Hunters bill will provide
for the appropriation of S1000O0.0O by
the state, creating q reVolVlng fund'
to be used In the importation Of fine
seed wheat from Russia and Alberta.
This revolving fund will be handled in
much the same way as the revolving
fund from which capital is drawn on
which to run the binding twine plant
at the penitentiary at Lansing. It is
not the intention Of Senator Hunter
that the state derive any actual profit
from the seed wheat business any
more than it does from the manu-
facture Of binding twine, although
his plan contcmplates that the state
be reimbursed for the expenditure
necessary to start the seed wheat pro-
ject.

leyies should be- under the new assess
ment. They hope to have the figures
In time to present to the legislature.
"The levies must be cut right down
to the bone,' said Mr.. drummer, "in
order to complete the machinery OF
the new tax law. Local taxing Off
GERS must be curbed when 1t comes to
fixing the levies. If they are not, the
whole law will fall to the ground.
Tie people Of Kansas are In favor Of
an equitable assessment, but they are
not In favor of paying million dol
lars more in taxes than is needed, just
because tax officers don't know how
to figure"
The legislature, no doubt, will cut
the levies. It probably will profit by
it's experience in ignoring the recon-
mendations of the tax commission last
year, and pay some attention this time
as to- what the commission says on
that subject. II it doesn't afford somH
relief in the matter the people, two
years hence, are liable to send a leg

Ex-Congressman Bowersock Of Law

doesn't limit the levies this winter, he
will run for governor two years hence
on the tax issue and he believes that
the people will flock to his support. {
