Topeka-Both branches of the leg
islature have their calendars loaded

the work has been done by the stand
ing committees. From now on 1t will
be done on the floor. 1t will be race
to see which can gets it's own bills
out of the way first The senate can
work faster than the house and 1t will
keep the house extremely busy from
getting it's calendar loaded up with
senate bills. For this reason the
house will likely go to holding night
sessions shortly, Usually the house
drags along until the senate clears up
its own bills and shoves them on to
the house calendar ahead Of house

By legislative act Massachusetts re.
luired that the question Of providing
public Fairgrounds should be en-
bodied in a referendum and presented
70 the people Of all towns and cities of
over 10000 inhabitants. Some cities
already have Fairgrounds that satisfy
the spirit of the law Of % other cities
that voted on the question, go gave an
overwhelming answer in favor Of play
grounds. Those who pretend that the
people have not sense enough to know
what they want may be interested to
learn that Worcester and New Bed
ford voted no for liquor and yes"
for Fairgrounds. In Springfield the Ii.
cense forces tried some disingenuous
advertising: vote Yes On both
questions at the bottom of the ballot
Vote for license; vote for Fairgrounds.
Both stand for civic progress" Spring
field did vote yes" on both questions,
but the majority for liquor license was
only twenty-three hundred, whereas
the majority for Fairgrounds was more

No More Warfare,

Shailler Matthews, writing to The
World To-Day on "The Church and
Scholarship" predicts that the day
OF warfare between science and
theology, II not past, is fast passing.
The scientific method has introduced
new era in the religious thinking Of
to-day. This, he says, is indicated by
the fact that the churches no longer
fear "the higher criticism" The church
Is utilizing the results of other than
theological sciences. Church workers
are coming to feel that the entire
range of scientific investigation may
furnish material for religious activity
Thus, in the region of biology the old
suspicion of the theories Of evolution
is rapidly passing. The ordinary posi-
ton Of the intelligent churchman is
that it makes little difference just how
humanity came into existence, whether
In an evolutionary fashion or by crea-
ton. In either case it was due to the
operation of God. Similarly, in the
psychology of religion, it is only re-
Gently that our psychologists have
seriously considered religious expert
ence. Now there are few psychologists
who are not to some extent working in
the field, and the literature on the psy-
chology side Of religion is rapidly as

Economy From Now On.

From now on there is to be a gem
eral onslaught on all bills in the leg
islature which create new positions
or provide for new employees or In
creased salaries Many Of the men,
bers have begun to hear from home.
The man at the pillow handle has been
reading of the numerous bills to in
crease the number of state employees
and to increase salaries He thinks
that taxes are high enough now that
there is no necessity of provid-
ing places for any more statesmen
and intimates that possibly the mem
Der who votes to raise taxes may have
trouble being elected two years hence.
Enough information has drifted in
from the grass roots to scare the
members and many of them have Sc
cretly agreed to make fight on every
bill of that character.

Stocks Aren't Watered.

Former Attorney General A. A. God
dard, representing the Independent
Telephone company of Topeka, ap-
peared before the senate judiciary
committee and argued against the
Hamilton public utilities bill as it is
now constructed. He said there are
more than 300 telephone companies
in Kansas. The stock of the com.
panies is held principally by the peo-
pie of the state. He believed the
stockholders in practically all of the
companies would be agreeable to fair
regulations relative to the issuance OF
stocks and bonds. In the telephone
companies he declared there is nc
watering" of stocks or frenzied spe-
culation.
81 do not believe said Mr.. Goddard,
that the Independent telephone peo-
pie over the state know the real con-
tents of the public utilities bill now
under consideration. If they did
know, there would go up protest that
would be heard all over the state"
