TOPEKA CORRESPONDENCE

The Public Utilities bill, as in
troduced by Representative Stone
and advocated by the governor,
was defeated in the House last week.
The UTILITIES bill was given an easy
death by the substitution of another
bill lodging the power to cohtrol
utilities la the city governments in
stead of in a state board. The
opponents of the administration
bill cried "Home Rule" and the
state control idea went down to de-
feat by vote of 6I to So. The
neucleus of the opposition to the
governors idea of state control of
the public utilities was a motion
offered by w. Y. Morgan instruct
ing the Judiciary Committee to
draft q new bill which would give
the power to control the corpora
tions to the local city governments.
Although the author of the motion
denied it, it was generally under
stood that this was an indirect way
of dealing the death blow. The
Democrats, with four or FIVE excsP-
tious, voted solidly and psrsistently
against the state control idea, and
these with the Republicans opposed
to the Stone bills, held control ahd
succeeded in wiping every vsslige of
State Board of Public Utilities
bill from the calendar. The present
status of the matter now is that
there are two bills before the House
aiming to strengthen the powers Of
the city authorities to control their

utilities. There are slight chances
of their passage. No one cares
whether they pass or not. The
administration forces are not dis
oouraged. They say Governor
Stubbs will now have an issue with
which to 60 before the people in
1910 that will prove the most
popular measure of recent years.
Governor Stubbs and Speak ker
Dolley are somewhat discouraged
over the outlook for promised legis
lation. So far only a few of the
platform measures have been enacted
into law. The senate has repudiated
The pledge for the election of tax
commissioner by the people; and
limiting stock and bond issues of
public service corporations. The
house has put the fixings to the
public utilities bill as advocated by
the administration. Bills covering
all other promises are on the calen-
dar either in one branch or the
other but the time ls limited and
some of them may fail.
The anti lobby law has forced all
the lobbyists to register and work
open and above board. 1t is not
being enforced as rigidly as it might
be. For instance the law prohibits
any lobbyist who has registered
from going upon the floor of either
house while it is In session, but
several lobbyists have paid no at
tention to that provision. In fact
they may not know that it is in the
law. Still if the officers of the
legislature would serve notice to
keep them out it would be a whole
some thing.
Kansas will have comprehensive
plan for the improvement of bel
roads as a result of this legislature.
A series of bills have been passed
which cover every feature of road
improvement, and there will be nc
excuse now for the farmers of the
sta'e to longer be burdened with
poor roads.

each will have his name at the heau
of the list as often as his opponent
The senate mas turned down the
administration bill to consolidate
state boards. The bill wiped out
the board of managers of the
Hutchinson rsfermatory aud the
managers of the penitentiary, and
placed botA these institutions under
the board of control, which now
has charge of the charitable institu =
tions. Speaker Dolley, author Of
the bill, forced 1t through the house.
But the place hunters got in their
work in the senate. The bill wiped
lut six desirable jobs and the politi-
clans could never stand for that.
So the bill went down. Governor
Stubbs did his best to secure Its
passage.
The bank guaranty law is hanging
in the balance. The senate doesn't
like the Edwards amendment which
gives a new bank authority to Jon
the insurance scheme Immediately
upon Its organization in case the
other banks of the town refused to
60 in. Neither would the senate
stand for the plan to include trust
companies. The second conference
is now on. The indications are
that the tive houses will get together.
Still there is a possibility that they
won't.

The legislature is hewing to the
line in the matter of appropriations.
No unnecessary improvements will
be made at the different state insti-
tutions. The state treasury will be
broKs in September, not through
any fault of this adm. .nistration, and
Governor Stubbs and his associates
are extremely anxious to make the
bu den of taxation as light as pos
sible under the circumstances.
Under the new laws passed at
this session it is predicted that every
first and second class city in Kansas
will adopt commission form OF
government within the next two
years. The authors of the laws
claim that they furnish an ideal
system of city government and that
under them public officials must
yield to the will of the people on all
public affairs.
Governor Stubbs and Attorney

ORYILLE POLAND GUILTY.

In our article of last week giving
an account of the murder OF Jesse
Haymaker at Hutchinson it was
stated that a young man of the town
had been arrested in connection
with the Grim. The young man
was Orville Poland.
He had been an employee Of the
express company at that place. He
frequently loafed around the office
and was friendly with young Hay
maker and R. f. Hart the night
agent.
In the earlier part of the evening
he had been about the office and
Hart had admitted him. About
two o'clock in the morning Harris
work was done and he started for
his room The and Haymaker roomed
together Fsland walking with
HIM. When Foland left Hart, in
stead of going home he returned to
the express office and asked Jesse
to lie. him In.
The door was opened and both
boys laid down to sleep. Some
time later young Poland got up and
found Jesse Haymaker sound asleep.
He secured the Office revolver and
shot him dead as he slept.
He then took the express keys
from the murdered boys pocket
and went to the up town office and
| secured seven or eight dollars and
went home, telling his mother he
had staiG all night with a friend.
He was questioned by the officers
as to what he might know of the
case, in the morning, but allowed
to 70 as he was aot really suspected
of the crime.
Later in the day it was decided
that he might be guilty and officers
started out to find hius. 1t was soon
discovered that he had skipped the
town. The phones were used and
he was caught by a farmer, fifteen
miles away. He was brought back
to Hutchinson and, after "a severe
sweating by the officers, confessed
the crime. He has already been
tried and convicted and rs now serv-
ing a life sentence in the peniten
;isry.
The remaies Of young HaymakeT
| reached here friday morning and
after short religious services Satur-
day morning were laid quietly a.
| rest in the peaceful Leanna GENE
terry, near the boys old country
home.
The superintendent and number
of other off of the express
company attended the funeral and
they and agents along the line sent
many beautiful floral offerings.

Mr.. TAFTAND CONGRESS-.

NaIety IN lne nlStOIy OF tnlS Cou .
try has there been the widespread
interest in a presidential lnsugura-
ton that is now manifest IN the case
of Mr.. Taft. Certainly few state
papers or public addresses have
been awaited with more serious con.
Germ than at present attaches to the
inaugural address and first message
of the incoming executive. Thai
President Taft's policy will be re-
assuring and comforting to the bust
ness interests of the country is more
than probable. The forecast of the
Taft Inaugural address sent out from
Washington inspires confidence il
the soberness and judicial calm OF
.he next administration.
From several apparently reliabl
sources it is learned that the frs
object of President Taft will be te
establish himself in the confidence
of congress and to work in harmony
with that branch of the government
This argues that his administration
will be constructive aud free from
those chickering's and quarrels which
characterized the last few years O.
the Roosevelt tenure. 1t was in
evitable that Mr.. Roosevelt should
quarrel with congress. His attitude
toward that BODY has been that of ;
determined ruler and the "bil
stick" has spared no offending heads
1t is almost inconceivable that Mr.
Taft will demean himself in the I'm
perious manner of his predecessor
Judge Taft is not of the temper
amsnt that can brook no opposition
In all his years as a public servan
he has never figured in a scandal o
brawl save as subordinate obeyin
orders or when he was commission
ed as peacemaker.
No doubt President 1sft on tn
! day OF his Inauguration will Civ

several important public question,
While it is true that he owes a PEI
sonal obligation of gratitude towar

that obligation to take up all III
Roosevelt policies and centinu
them In Roosevelt fashion. H
knows pretty we'll by this time thu
some of the Roosevelt policies al
not in favor with a large part of tn
American people. Mr.. Taft dt
sires peace with congress, and tn
he should have if he hopes to be {
highest service to his country. T
insure this peace he must recogni2

WE DO PROGRESS.

In 1880 Kansas voted ON
constitutional amendmen forev.r
prohibiting the manufacture or sale
Of intoxicating liquors within her
borders except for medicinal,
mechanical and scientific purposes.
The amendment was carried by
a small majority, about 8, 900, and
was very unpopular IN the state for
many. years, and very difficult 10
enforce.
The Democratic party, for many
years, with its usual aptitude to
paader to the dissatisfaction of any
class of people and cajole them,
right or wrong, with the hope of
securing votes, for many years
resoluted against these sumptuary
laws bat the better element of the
Republican party and few of the
more enlightened Democrats, in
sisted that Kansas should take no
backward step and from year to
year the prohibitory law was
strengthened aud made more
attlngent in spite of the klckers.
The public conscience was
educated and finally even the
Democratic party was converted
and became an earnest champion
of prohibition and now the legisla-
ture has struck the final blow and
the joint drug store must go aud
Kansas will become in fact as well
as name prohibition state. This
fight for the right has cost much
money and many lives and eRseA-
dered much Ill feeling, but, at last
the victory has been won and
{, Kansas stands as a leader among
| the states in morality and reform.
! And even those who, in the start,
opposed these laws, new admit
their wisdom.
E Since Kansas started'out on this
e temperance crusade many other
n states have followed her example
!. and in others great many counties
have grown dry under local option
n laws. The signs of the times in
y dicate that other states will follow
{ in rapid succession and the United
e States become, eventually "a great
G. temperance commonwealth with this
destroyer of health and morality
e forever abolished.
e Already the brewers and dlstillers
, are feeling its effects and taking
S joint action to perpetuate and
# maintain their business.
Q One of them, bolder than the
t rest, in a speech in Ohio, stated,
{ that their old patrons would soon
S drop out and the only way to main
tain their business is to cultivate a
l. taste among the boys by a system
. of treating them. Thus, he thought,
4 a generation of drinkers might be
n reared up and their hellish business
l. perpetuated. Is it not appalling
! that man In this enlightened age
should advocate the debauching of
> the youth of the land that this soul
+ destroying haffic may be perpetuated2
Such maa should be arrested
and locked up as menace to the
public welfare of the country. Yet,
he is only voicing the sentiment
: and actions of the fellows engage
/, in this business. Thank God Kan
e sas youth will be free from this
influence only as it may occ asionally
be exerted by the detested sneak
y known as the bootlegger. Public
sentiment and vigilant officers will
f soon put him cut of business and
. we will be free from the bligbting
