Change In Guaranty Law.

The banking committees of the two
houses have practically agreed upon
the interest clause of the proposed
bank guaranty law. They have framed
an amendment which protects all de-
posits drawing up to 3 per cent in
terest, except the deposits of banks
in other banks. This withdraws pro-
lection from a good share of the de-
posts in resrve centers.
One of the chief objections to the
law from the interior bankers was
that in guaranteeing the deposits Of
banks in central reserve backs it
might jeopardize the insurance
scheme The failure of one big bank
might mortgage the guaranty fund for
from five to ten years.
The new clause will meet the oppo-
sition to the reserve banks. They in
sist that no discrimination should be
shown. They also point out that if
reserve banks are protected, it would
mean that nearly all Kansas money
now going to reserve centers Of the
east would stay in Kansas.
No attempt will be made by the
committee to limit the insurance on
time deposits.

Tires of Charges of House.

At every opportunity the house
takes a fling at the senate for its army
of employees. The senate has become
tired of it. Senator Brewster has in
troduced a resolution calling attention
to the fact that the house is continu-
ally drawing upon the senate for stem
ographers to do it's work. His resolu-
ton instructed senate stenographers
to refuse to do any more work for the
house.
The committee appointed to inves-
tigate furniture deals also expects to
show up the extravaganza of the house.

OVERRIDING II.

A young Englishman, after he had
been in Devils valley for a couple of
months, began to grow thin. Wyoming
cooking did not appeal to him. Be
sides his squeamish appetite there
was another thing that the natives
held against him-his outlandish GUS
tom of taking bath every morning.
One day his landlady was discussing
him with a friend.
Il tell ye what, SAL" said the visi-
tor, hes jest a-wastin' away a-griev-

Reduce Stock Yards Charges.

Representative Mercer of Chase,
big cattleman, has introduced a bill
to reduce stock yards charges. His
bill provides that a stock yards COM
pany shall not charge over So a car
for yarding stock and only be allowed
per cent profit on its feed. The price
now is So per car and 100 per cent
profit on feed.
The bill also limits commissions on
stock to 20 cents a head for cattle,
cents for sheep, 8 cents for calves and
cents for hogs. Mercer says that
present charges are entirely too high
and he hopes to force them down. The
bill is aimed particularly at the Kan
sas City and Wichita stock yards.

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

W. ]. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
'I have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to so bushels of
oats
1T was the first week Of May when
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, so 1 only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, so put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds Of veg
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which 1 got 76
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed S5 bushels per acre, for which
l got So cents per bushel. You see
was three weeks late in getting them
in, still I was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can pillow, from $4,000 up. raised
go chickens and 5 pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good market for anything a
man raises, so 1 have every reason to
be thankful, besides, at the end of
three years 1 get my patent for home
stead. 1 heard of no homestead sell
ing for less than $4,000, so where un-
der the sun could an old man or
young man do better?"

TInkerins With Public Utility Bill


Senator Hamilton is at work max
ing a re-draft of the administration
public utility bill. The hearings be-
fore the senate committee brought out
so many defects that it was apparent
TO Senator Hamilton, himself, that the
measure needed patching up in some
places.
Senator Hamilton will have to
change his bill materially in order to
secure a favorable report from the
committee. Several Of the leading
that the law should be limited to the
big general utilities and to utilities
in first class cities only In other
words, they believe that all utilities
in the small towns should be exempt
ed from the provisions of the law.
Governor Stubs is opposed to ex-
empting them. He says that is a dis
elimination against the big utilities
and the utilities in the big towns; that
the commission should have the same
control over small utilities as large
ones and that no effort should be
made to curry favor with the small
ones.
The house judiciary committee went
through the farce of giving hearings
on the bill. The plan of the house
committee. it is said, is to make only
q few minor changes in the bill and
check it up to the house itself, for
consideration. When the bill comes
in it will be made a special order and
probably railroaded through. Then
1t will devolve upon the senate to give
the measure careful consideration.

Platform Pledges to Come First.

Governor Stubs is alarmed at the
slow progress made on the public
utility bill. Unless the legislature
shows some signs at an early date of
taking action, a special message on
the subject is probable.
Only a short time remains of the
session. Both calendars are loaded
with bills. The house has laid down
rule that it will not omnibus any
measure this session. If it doesn't it
will be a physical impossibility to pass
one-half the bills on the calendar right
now. From now on platform pledges
and appropriation bills will have al
most exclusive attention.

Shuts Out the Lobbyist.

The senate has passed the new anti
lobby bill as it was formulated by the
judiciary committee. Not a single vote
was registered against it. AS soon as
it was messaged to the house it was
referred to the committee of the whole
and will be made a special order.
The indications are that it will be-
come a law soon. Then the lobbyist
will either have to register or only
appear around the legislature when in
vited before a committee. The bill is
not so drastic as the original bill, but
it is plenty strong enough to meet the
platform pledge.

The house has passed the Cranston

Cranston bill wipes out the limit en-

The legislature has shattered an
other beautiful reform, suggested by
Cranston of Labette, by killing his bill

Cranston's theory is that the people
have just as much right to vote direct
on issues as on candidates. So he
framed up bill requiring all import
ant planks of a party platform to be
published on the official ballot so that
the people could vote for or against
them. Those issues which received a
majority of the vote should be enacted
into law. !
