Bill to Gust Recreant Public officials
Appears in Senate.

After a ten minutes session. the sem
ate adjourned to meet at 9 O'Clock to-
morrow morning instead of 10 o'clock.
the regular hour When the body ad-
journs, it will take vacation until 4
O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The only bill of Importance at the
afternoon session was a measure in
troduced by Senator Porter which pro-
vfdes that the state shall go into the
quail raising business. This measure
provides that a portion of revenue
from the hunting license fund shall be
used in the establishment of a quail
hatchery. Heretofore the money has
been used exclusively in the fish hatcn-
cry and the hunters have received no
direct benefit from the fund.
When the senate cOnveneS Friday
morning Senator Brewster, of Donipha Il
county, will introduce a radical recall
measure for the busting of public Of
ffcials who are derelict in the PERFORM
ance of duty. In his bill he makes pro-
vision officials who violate their pub
lie duties shall forfeit their jobs and it
shall be the duty of the attorney gen.
eral and the county attorneys on writ
ten or verbal notice to Immediately
bring action and begin custer proceed
ings. The attorney general, under the
Brewster bill, shall file proceedings
against state officials and the county
attorney against county and township
officials Where charges are made
ty attorney of Shawnee county shall be
vested with the power of the attorney
general and shall prosecute the pro-
ceedings.
Brewster's bill provides that trial
shall be before the court and not before
jury and shall have precedence over
all civil and criminal actions, with no
provision for continuance. Appeals
may be made to the supreme court
within so days following the decision
~ oft
neys or attorney general may subpoena
witnesses and take testimony and a
penalty is attached where persons re-
fuse to give testimony in such cases.
The court may Immediately suspend an
official when notice of custer proceed
ings are filed and the suspension shall
hold until the case is finally settled.
Original actions in custer may be in
augurated in the supreme court. Pro-
per officials may commence proceed
ings on their own initiative. An APP
pealed case must be tried at the first
session of the court. The appeal court
may affirm or reverse the lower court
but is denied the power to reverse ana
remand for new trial. Nothing in the
Brewster act would relieve the pr1V1-
lege of a latter criminal action against
a public official. The bill is sweeping
in it's scope of public servants and the
only officials barred from such proceed
ings are members of the supreme bench
district judges and members OF the
legislature.
Senator Hodges will Friday morning
introduce two minority resolutions. The
first calls for a suffrage amendment to
the constitution and the second IS an
amendment embodying the Massachus-
etts ballot law, abolishing party en-
blems and requiring education qualifi-
cations of voters. Two years ago the
measure was introduced and passed the
house, but was smothered in the SEN
ate committee.

Taft Sends Special Message to Con-
aress ON Panama Canal.

Washington, Jan. 12.-President
Taft today sent to congress special
messages urging the fertilization of the
Panama canal and recommending that
an appropriation of 100000 for the
initiation of the work on the proposed
defenses be made at the present ses-
sion of the congress.
1.-The canal when completed" said
the president in his message, will af-
ford the only convenient route for
water communication between Allan
tic and Pacific coasts and virtually will
be a part of the coast line of the
United States. It's assured possession
and control will contribute to our
peace, safety and prosperity as a ma
ton.
I'm my judgment it is the right and
the duty of the United States to fortify
and make capable of defense the work
that VIII bear vital a relation to
its welfare and that is being created
solely by it and an expenditure of
enormous sums.
81 have authorized the submission to
the secretary of the treasury of the
revised estimate for the approximation
referred to in the accompanying letter
of the secretary of war which estimate
is less than the original estimate by
approximately one-third.''
