At the suggestion of the members
present at the convention held in Car
den City, six months ago a competent
lawyer has been employed to draft a
number of bills which after they have
been approved by the delegate in con-
vention in January will be presented
Want Laws Changed.
One of the bills provides for the pay
ment of a license fee by all agents doing
business in Kansas to the state treas
urer, the money to constitute separate
fund to be appropriated by the legisla-
ture for the purpose of inducing and
encouraging immigration to the state.
The idea is that the greater part of
the coin would be spent in newspaper
and other advertising, the money to be
handled by a board now in existence.
This would likely create fund of near
ly $150,000 per annum, and through the
publicity which would be given by
broadcast publicity. it is thought by the
realty men that the population of the
state would be increased materially, and
would consequently be of benefit to
the land dealers and the general pub
lie.
The real estate men will favor the re :
peal of the present tax law in respect to
mortgages, and the substitution of Il
law which requires q recording fee of
one-half of one per cent on all mort
cages. This would affect the mortgages
in Missouri as well as the mortgages in
Kansas, and in the opinion of those
who instigated the framing of the bill
would be a more equitable system than

SERVICE.

Indications are that Perth Amboy
is to have all-night telegraph sery-
ice. A short time ago we called at
tention to the fact that New Bruins
wick, Long Branch and other towns,
much smaller than this city, have all
night service, yet Perth Amboy is
compelled to put up with the hours
of q country town. The Board of
Trade is also taking an active part in
e~ndeavoring to secure improved tel
egraph facilities. II this movement
is about to bear fruit the city is to
be congratulated.
We are Informed that an inspec-
tor of the Western Union was in
town recently and was greatly i'm
pressed with what he saw here. II
is also significant that a new presi-
dent has taken charge of the COM
pany and that improvements are
likely to follow. There is no doubt
that Perth Amboy is one of the most
deserving places on the lines of the
| Western Union. We doubt If any
city of equal size has such poor ae-
Communications as are to be found
here. A more thoroughly equipped
office with t~wenty-four hour service
is what is necessary TO put this city
on the same basis as place of equal
size. We believe the business il
here for the telegraph company II
they would make is possible for tht
people to give it to them. In fact
there Is so much business in some o.
the local industries that they hay'
installed a private wire, running di
rectiy to their plant, rather than pu
up with the Inconvenience OF thu
public service.
Everything should be done to fur
Their the cause In the interest o
Perth Amboy. rhe fact that an in
spector has been here looking owe
the field. indicates that the comnan;
is Interested. It is to be hoped tina
the all-night service will be instslleI
in the very near future.
