Tariff revision Is bound 70 occupy
much OF the attention of the Sixty
second Congress during It's second
session. In the public mind 1t over
shadows all other issues.
Mr.. Taft has virtually assumed the
position that the tariff board shall be
the sole Judge of the changes which
congress may make in the Payne
Aldrich tariff. OF his own will he has
attempted TO clothe II with powers
greater than those of congress.
Since the adoption OF the consti-
tuition there has existed a popular be-
lief that "all bills for raising revenue
shall originate in the house of repre-
sentatives but the senate may pro
pose or concur with amendments. as
On other bills" According 10 the
Taft theory, apparently, all future
tariff bills must originate with the
five impartial and respectable" gen
| semen selected by Mr.. Taft for his
tariff board but the house and the
senate may propose such amend
ments as are approved by the tarifi
hoard.

ENGINEERS TO MEET.
Will Discuss Proposition of Creating
New State Onice.

Kansas may have a state engineer
in the future. This office has never
been created. However, a bill asking
that such office be created and the APP
pointment of a state engineer will like
ly be presented at this session of the
legislature. The bill will likely pro-
vide that the state engineer have his
headquarters in the state house along
with the other state officers.
This proposed legislation will be dis
cussed by the State Society of Fsngin-
GERS, which will hold its first annual
meeting at the Commercial club
rooms Friday and Saturday, January
20 and 21.
The nearest thing to state engineer
in Kansas is the office of state sanitary
engineer. which is held by w. C. Hoad
of the Kansas university civil engin-
eering department. at Lawrence. There
is also the superintendent of public
highways. This office is held by Pro-
fessor w. S. Gearhart of the engineer
ing department of the K. S. A. c. at
Manhattan.
However, in other states state en-
gineers look after public improve
ments. 1t is likely that this topic will
be the one most discussed at the con-
vention.
The meetings will begin at 10 a. m.
Friday, and close Saturday night. Fri
day night an illustrated lecture will be
given, showing engineering works in
AIleElCd anu dDTOdu, lHcIuulilS IiS
of the noted bridges of Europe. The
program consists of twenty-five papers
on engineering subjects. These papers
have been prepared by experts and
will doubtless contain interesting and
valuable information to engineers.
The society was organized a year
ago in November, at the meeting of
the State Good Roads society at Fort
Scott. Then a number of engineers
from over the state realized the value
of an organization and q society was
formed. The organization was COM
pleted at a meeting in Topeka year
ago this month.
Since then one meeting has been
held at Lawrence. The mem bership
is now 175 The officers are: v. R.
Parkhurst of Topeka, county engineer,
president; w. c. Hoad of Lawrence,
state sanitary engineer, vice president;

Plan to Make Size of National House

Washington. Jan. 1.-two changes
in the census plan have been agreed
upon by the house committee on CEN
sus. They amend the Crumpacker
congressional appropriation bill, which
provides for an apportionment that
would fix the house membership at
433, outside of Arizona and New Mex
leo, so that those territories when they
become states shall have one repre-
sentative each. The other amendment
fixes the basis of house membership
following the fourteenth and subse-
quent censuses.
The latter amendment provides that
as soon as each subsequent census is

popA.ation of all of the states and each

NO TERRORS FOR HIM.
The Farmer Can Snap His Finger at
High Prices.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE in
creased cost of living has no terrors
for the American farmer judging by
the conclusions of the department of
agriculture. In the last ten years the
value of his products has been in
creasing at such a rate that the tiller
of the soil is now able to afford hith-
erto undreamed of luxuries and the
old homestead has been fitted with
every modern convenience. The crop
report just issued by the department
says:
within the past ten years, the pur-
chasing power of the farmer has in
creased more than so per cent. Such
conditions are having and will con-

Sheehan was nominated as the Demo-

ator at the joint caucus of Democratic
legislators, receiving 81 votes, more
than majority of all the Democratic

however, that 25 members refused to
