COMPROMISE ON RATES.
Injunction Against Missouri Roads to
Be Modified

st. Louis. Mo-, April 23.-By a pro-
position offered by Circuit Attorney
S. G.. Jones, the temporary passenger
rate injunction against the Is Mis-
souri, railroads will be so modified that
it will apply only to discriminatory
rates.
The change was announced today
following a postponement of the hear
ing of the case to April 26, which de-
lay was granted in the circuit court
after Jones had pleaded that Cover
nor HadIey's illness made this neces-
sary. The original restraining order
prohibited the roads from charging a
passenger rate of more than cents a
mile.
My proposition to modify the de-
cree was made because I believe that
there is merit in the roads contention
that the two cent rate is confisca-
tory" said the circuit attorney later
Furthermore, believe that they are
willing to adopt a non-discriminatory
rate of u cents a mile

WHAT SCHOOLS COST
Fairchild Discusses
Magnitude of Kansas System.

State Superintendent Fairchild de-
livered an address to the students OF
Washburn college at the chapel
Thursday evening. Among other
things he gave out the following in
teresting information regarding the
public schools of this state: The aver
age citizen does not have the faintest
idea of the magnitude of public
school property and the annual ex-
penses of carrying on these schools.
It costs about four millions year
to conduct all the business of the
state and pay all bills and salaries.
while it requires about ten MILLIONS
to keep UP the public schools and col
leges of the state. Over thirteen mil
lions are invested in school property
in Kansas. There are 507, 900 persons
of school age in the state and of this
number over 400. 900 are in school at
this time. The percentage of atten-
dance out of the possible number eli
gibIe to attend school is very large
when il is considered that a large
number of persons finish high school
while under the school age set by law
and are therefore exempt from the
truancy law.
The superintendents address was
full of interesting and valuable in
formation about the school work Of
the state and some of his statements
were startling in their account of the
volume and magnitude of this great
work of education of which Kansas
is justly proud.

SENATORS ARE DODGING
Numerous Schedules in Tariff Bill
Passed Over Without Action.

Washington, April 23.-The reading
of the tariff bill being resumed in the
senate today numerous requests were
made by both Republicans and Demo =
Gratis for the passing over of various
schedules, although an agreement had
previously been made that such action
was not necessary in order to permit
a senator to enter and obtain a vote
on any article. Nearly every senator
was in his place.
Senators McCumber and Simmons
suggested that the lumber schedule be
passed over and Senator Beveridge
made the same request in respect to
the tobacco schedules. The sugges-
tons of various senators indicated that
more than half of the rates under the
wood, sugar and molasses, tobacco and
agriculture and other schedules
would come in for criticism at a later
date.
Senator McLaurin requested that
various schedules under the head of
agriculture be passed over, and Sena-
