WANTS A NEW DEAL.

In the race to present the first SEN
ate bill, w. M Glenn. of Greeley coun-
", not only won, but he offered four
DIS IN one bunch; and made his pres
ehce Iurther apparent when he offered
concurrent resolution No. l. Price of
Clark, was also candidate for first
honors, but he was few seconds too
late.
The most important bill of the af-
ternoon was the measure by Glenn for
red1stricting the senatorial districts
in accordance with census reports
Glenn has figured that the average
population of the senatorial districts
of Kansas is 3S.306 and under the
present apportionment there are sew
eral districts badly out of line. He has
found that there are two districts with
less than 10000 population and two
more with less than $4,000 population
two more with less than $4,000, while
IN the more densely settled districts,
the extremes are much the other way.
senator Carey's district with $1,000.
Senator Prices district with $4,000
population, Senator Robertson's with
$4,000 and Senator Glenn's with 65,-
600.
Under Glenn's new measure, there
would be twenty districts that will ex-
coed the average and twenty districts
that will fall short. In no district will
the variation exceed $500, except in
the larger counties where the county
population exceeds the average. In
none of the districts would the pop
ulation be less than 10000 people.
The proposed change has not met
with much enthusiasm among the sem
ators, who are skeptical of any change
affecting their own district.
Senator Price, of Clark county, in
troduced a bill to compel fire, light
ming and tornado insurance conpan-
les to pay losses more promptly.
The second bill introduced by Glenn
relates to the collection of the inheri-
lance tax where no administration is
had and the will is not admitted to
probate. Senator Price also offered
an Inheritance tax measure which pro-
Nides for the assessment and taxation
of legacies and SUGGESTIONS and pre-
seribing methods for collecting the
tax. The measure further stipulates a
reduction in the tax in so far as it ap-
plies to direct heirs
Senator Hostrup made hit with the
senators when he offered a resolution
which will require the state of Kansas
20 provide the lawmakers with individ
ual drinking cups. The two days droueh
in the senate had created considerable
comment and Hostrup's resolution met
with immediate approval. Senator
George F. Hunter also helped some
when he presented the customary reso-
luton to allow each 500 for stationery.
The report of the committee on en-
ployees was adopted without discussion.
