The substance of the bill. which has
been roughly planned by Kansas police
officers will be to place the names of can
didates for the office of chief of police
on the ballot with candidates for
other city offices. Each party or faction
will nominate their candidates. The peo
pie will then vote for mayor and chief
of police separately instead of electing
them under one head as has been the Gus
tom The new law provides that the chief
of police will retain the power to name
his own force. In cities under the COM
mission form of government, the chief
will have to follow the rules prescribed
for that form of government.

Every body is about the same but GER

HOPES FOR INCOME TAX
States That Have Voted Against It,
Expected to Reconsider.

Washington, Dec. 6.-That four out
of the five states whose legislatures
have pronounced against the income
tax amendment to the constitution as
provided by the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law will reconsider their decision and
align themselves with the states sup
porting the provision, is the opinion of
its author, Senator Norris Brown of
Nebraska.
Mr.. Brown is very confident also
that the amendment will be ratified
by the legislatures of more than the
requisite three-fourths of the states
during the present winter Already
eight states-Alabama South Caro-
lima, Illinois, Maryland, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Oklahoma and Georgia
have passed ratification resolutions.
New York, Rhode Island. Massachu-
sets, Virginia and Louisiana have re-
fused to endorse the proposed amend
ment, but Mr.. Brown declares there is
strong reason to believe the legisla-
tures-elect of these states, with prob
ably one exception will reconsider and
rattfy
The week after election Senator
Brown wrote to all governors urging
their cooperation in the campaign for
the amendment and enclosing a copy
of the ratification resolution. He has
had replies from very large majority
of them, who favor the amendment
and will in their messages recommend
the ratification. Among others is a
strong letter from Governor ELECT Foss
of Massachusetts,. BY only one COVER

voted adversely last winter.

DOESN'T BELIEVE IN 1T.
Chief jenkins Tells Why Election of
Head of Police Would Be Bad.

Chief Morris Jenkins, of the Topeka po-
lice force, is opposed to the proposed leg
islation favoring the election of police
heads in cities of 10000 population or
larger. The plan will be discussed at the
meeting of the Kansas police officers in
Wichita January and Z. The matter
will be one of the important questions dis
cussed at the meeting.
Several of the. police chiefs have ex-
pressed an opinion favorable to law
calling for the election of the chief of
police. They contend that there has al
ways been more or less conflict in the
police department owing 70 the fact that
the chiefs have been appointed They say
that If the head of a police department
could be elected the same as any other
city officer, 1t would give the people a
chance to say directly who they want to
fill the place.
Chief jenkins in discussing the proposed
legislation, thinks that the state and cities
would act unWisely to enact such law.
He says there would be a continued mud
die in every city of Importance in the
state and that the policies of the mayor
and council or city commissioners would
often go astray because of a police chief
who was not in harmony with these pol
icies, but preferred to act on theory OF
Il do not think it would be at all WISE -
said Chief Jenkins. 'for the state to pass
the law should remain just as it is. When
q new city administration is elected, they
are entitled to govern and dictate the
better than any individual or set of peo-
pie who should take charge of the police
forces and they should have the right
to say.
Suppose. for example, continued the
Topeka chief, that Republican city ad-
ministration vas elected but that one eiiS
chief of police it would destroy the har-
mony which should exist between the two
the work it otherwise should. 1 believe
| 1t would be a bad plan to change the law
