NOTES FROM SENATE.

Following the fight on the inherit
ance tax law, the senate will take up
the consideration of the Huffman bill,
providing for the administration of the
affairs of all state educational inst1tu-
lions under a single head Senator
Anderson offered a bill along this line
early in the session, but it was killed
in the committee room. Huffman then
tried and his bill was reported for
passage The senate will have a lively
time with this bill, as members from
the districts which house the big edu-
cational institutions are bitterly OPP
posed to the passage of the proposed
law.
John Howard Todd, of the staff Of
the New York Herald, is il, Topeka to-
day and will spend several days in the
two branches of the legislature, hunt
ing material for a series of articles for
his publication. Todd's particular mis-
sion in Kansas is to feel the public
pulse in regard to the Canadian reci-
procity measure. He is incidentally
viewing the legislative proceedings
with a great deal of interest and ask
ing several hundred questions about
untitled party promises.
Todd was in the senate chamber this
afternoon when Senator Brewster en-
tered the hall.
well, who is Paderweski?" asked
the New Yorker.
THAT is Senator Brewster. the rock
ribbed standpat from Cy Lelands dis
trict," replied a listener.
Say, but isn't he a model?' re-
arked the auburn haired New York
journalist. Hes certainly worth some
mention" and Todd made a note that
indicated he would call on the towsie
headed member at a later date.
Todd will spend a part o fthe after
noon with Governor Stubs. He is we'll
acquainted with David D. Leahy, pri-
vate secretary to the governor, also
with William Allen White, of Emporia.
He asked a number of questions about
the recent senate investigation and
said he would call on Dave this after
noon.
When the Republican party counGg
was held in August, 1910, Todd was in
Topeka and attended the meeting. He
came to Topeka this afternoon from
Iowa, where he spent several days
hunting material regarding the reci-
procity question.
