falo'' Jones) of Topeka was to have
been one of the honored guests at the
annual Minnehaha dinner of the Camp

Col. c. ]. Jones is lecturing in the

upon the allegation that the election

given the Democrat, Jewett, the. seat
in the lower house The argument re-
volyed around seven alleged mutilated
ballots from the Dighton precinct. The
committee report vas that Yates was
entitled to retain his seat in the house,
but minority report was filed by the
three Democratic members of the cleo
lions committee, and it's adoption
moved. About an hour was consumed
in argument before q vote upon the
adoption of the committee report was
reached. The vote was drawn on exacr
party lines, all Democrats voting
against and all Republicans for There
fore Yates retains his seat.

.OUSE MAKES CHANGE
CrOn of Butler Conducts Battle
to Repeal the Law.
Four Year Assessment Bill Re.
ported FavOrably.

In committee of the whole Thurs
day afternoon. the committee bill on
aSseSsme nt and taxation. q compromise
on the four-year assessmen bill was
reported with little controversy. This
bill is the result of one which
was drawn for the purpose of extend
ing the time between assessments to
four years. The committee bill makes
very little change in the present as
sessment system, but concentrates the
several sections on this subject
1t was when the committee bill on
inheritance tax was called up that the
storm broke. An argument of long
duration was commenced. Represen-
tative Cron of Butler county, Demo-
crat member, started the row by sub
hitting substitute of brief but de-
structive portent. His substitute was
TO strike out all after the enacting
clause, and substitute a repeal for the
existing law Through the fight that
followed Representative Cron was I'M
usually active, and the argument on
his substitute was not confined by
party fences. One of the strongest
pleas for the retention of the inherit
ance tax was put up by Representa-
tive Shearer, Democrat. of Marshall
county. A number of Democrats an
nounced that they were elected on a
platform which called for the repeal
of the inheritance tax.
FEEDER of Barton offered an amend
Don Carlos of Douglas offered as a
substitute the exemption of husband
or Wife" Then Don Carlos substitute
WAS voted down, and then a division
called for on the FEEDER amendment.
The tellers could not agree on the
count in this standing vote, and a roll
call resulted. The FEEDER amendment,
exempting all direct heirs from inner
itance tax was carried hy vote of SO
TO IS, and party lines We're lost in the
vote.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion. Field of Reno moved to ditch a
lot of taxation bills on general orders
by placing them at the foot of the
calendar. His motion included 521, an
act providing for registration fees; 522,
in regard to assessment and taxation,
and 634, another bill on the same sub
1ect. In the exchange of opinion that
followed. the mortgage fee bill es-
capped and retained it's place.
Stone OF Shawnee moved that the
hour OF 10 o'clock next Wednesday
morning be set as time for the con-
sideration of all bills involving plat
form pledges of either party. The
words. 'either party were included
