POLITICAL GOSSIP
'JOedOIIey" at Last Pleases
Garden City Editor.
Appoints a Satisfactory Man as
Bank Examiner.
POLL ABOUT READY.
Legislators Favor Putting the
Banks on Equal Footing.
Evidently Most Members Oppose
a Special Session.

1t is a long lane that has no turn
ing. After offending Ralph Faxon of
the Garden City Telegram by every
official word and act every day in this
year, at last Bank Commissioner J. N.
DoHey has done a thing that has won
Faxon's commentator, yes, more than
| that, enthusiastic and fervid endorse
ment, would be the more fitting ex-
preston to describe the feelings of
the Garden City editor in this matter.
The turning poin in the long chap
ter of Faxon criticism was reached
this week when Mr.. Do1ley appointed
Robert w. Lynn of Garden City to the
office of bank examiner, thus finishing
his list of the ten examiners allowed
him by law. Dick Hopkins of Garden
City, speaker pro tenn of the last house
of representatives, secured the place
for his fellow townsman.
Faxon declares that Lynn is zone
of the most active and deserving young
men of his town or county, Think of
that, coming from F'axon and spoken
of a Dolley appointee. It may be ex-
pected hereafter that Faxop will use
capital letters when he prints that pet
name of JoeNapDolley he has given to
the honorable bank commissioner.
The result of the poll of the legis-
lature regarding a special session has
been given out by the governor as
posed law to place the banks on an
even footing in the matter Of interest |
payments on deposits. But nearly |
every legislator also expressed himself |
in his reply to the governors telegram |
as either for or against the calling of !
the special session. Their opinions on |
this subject had not been solicited, but |
they gave it anyway. The poll of |
these opinions is not obtainable from I!
the governors office but to Judge !
from the printed expressions in their !
local papers, it is. reasonable to sup |
pose that most of the members of the |
legislature oppose a special session. |
Not one voice has been raised in favor |
of the plan. while here are few |
negative opinions:

slider special session unnecessary and |
not called for. But if you call one I
will gladly help make it as short as
possible.-W. Y. Morgan.

In common with people of district
I am opposed to special session be-
lieving it unnecessary expense on
sidered is bank guaranty, and that
has degen erated into row between ma
tional and state banks. and I don't
believe the people should pay expense
to using power of state to
coerce one business interest in favor
of another. am not in favor of
legislation that will deprive the peo-
interest possible on their deposits
Favor short session least expense.

The Chanute Tribune quotes Sen
ator Cambern as follows:
Senator L. S. Cambern of Neo-
sho county is strongly opposed to a
special session of the legislature. He
told Governor Stubbs SO yesterday
when the latter wired him for his
opinion on the matter.
'I told Governor Stubs" said
Senator Cambern today, that I was
strongly opposed to a special session,
and that if he deemed it necessary

would favor only attending to those
matters which the session will be
bern means by this that he wants to
stay in Topeka only a few days and
hat the bank matter alone should
receive attention.
Senator Cambern is chairman of

banking, and it was this committee,
acting in conjunction with the house
