BACK TO THE FARM.
Lucius Downey of Topeka. Leaves
X. C. Police Force.

After four years service on the
Kansas City police force, Lucius
Downey, who owns big farm near
Topeka, has returned to the agrarian
atm osphere, there to feed the rowdy
pig, to milk the gentle bovine. and
till the fertile soil that succulent
grain may be raised on which to feed
the COW, the pig, the horse and other
animal product of the Kansas farm.
And thereby hangs a tale-as the
backlog philosopher would begin his
story.
Why Downey should leave his 800
acre farm near here to become a
member of the metropolitan police
force at $50 per month was a puzzle
to his friends. They could not un-
derstand it. Still they do not. But
when Downey was let out with forty
two others at the last meeting of the
police board he began to realize that
the farm was not a bad place after
all.
I'm going back he said yester-
day when he went to the station to
tell his comrades goodbye. Il
guess there is more money anyway in
farming The other day 1 was Of
fered 800 an acre for forty acres of
land. and I'm going back where
politics won't bother anybody. I've
had enough of city life"

Boston, Oct. 2.-A1fred FarIow,

that Mrs Augusta E. Stetson of New

GooDLAND BRINGS SUIT.
To Compel State Auditor to Register
City Bonds.

A petition for writ of mandamus
recurring James NJ. Nation, state au-
dftor, to show cause why he should
not be required to register municipal
bonds issued by the city of Goodland,
KAN, was filed in the Kansas supreme
court by G. G. Perdieu, city attorney
Of Good1and this morning.
IT seems that the city of Goodland,
second class, passed an ordinance Civ
ing the authorities the right to call
. an election and vote bonds to refund
the floating Indebtedness of the city.
when the matter was passed up to
the city attorney he decided to try
II out with the state auditor and
found that bonds OF this kind would
not be registered because the law
places the limit on a second class
citv's bonded indebtedness at 1 u per
cent.
There is another state law that
saws city of the second class can re-
fund the floating Indebtedness by vot-
ing bonds for this purpose. c. G..
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-10-02

Perdieu, the city attorney of Good
land came to Topeka iast night for the
purpose of consulting with the attor-
ney general about the matter Mr..
Jackson decided against him and the
suit was brought in the supreme court
today.
Goodland has an issue of $22, 678.-
SO. The amount allowed by law
would only be $4,000 or over $4,000
less than is sent for registration.
Goodland wants to issue $4,000 more.
The writ is fled for this season-to
test the constitutionality of the law
restricting bond issues.
