SWINGS HIS CLUB
President Taft Issues an Ultima
tum to Congress.
Must Vote on Canadian Recip-
rOcity Before Adjournment.
AN EXTRA SESSION
Is the Alternative Offered to
That Body.
Senators Promptly Get Busy in
Rallying Movement.

Washington, Feb S-If administra-
ton senators had any doubt about the
fttitude of President Taft toward the
canada reciprocity agreement it was
removed when Senators Crane and
carter returned to the capitol today
from a conference with the president
at the White House. The message
which these senators brought to their
colleagues was that there must be a
vote on the agreement at the present
session or congress will be called back
in extra session almost Immediately
after adjournment March 4 Although
Senators Crane and Carter declined TO
d1ScuSS their mission to the White
house the report soon leaked out that
the president was insistent on a vote
1t is said he made plain his belief that
the country generally favored the adop-
tlon or a reciprocity treaty with Can
ada; that the bill to put the agreement
into force will pass the house with a
large majority and that the senate
would enact the measure If given an
opportunity to vote on it.
The rules of the senate which per-
NIT untrammeled discussion of
measure are the principal barriers to
q vote in that body. 1t is known that
Senators Hepburn and Bailey are bit
terly opposed to the agreement and
that the opposition extends also to
most of the progressive Republicans.
Some of these senators have limited
that their relations with the White
House have not been sufficiently pleas
ant of late to cause them to exert
themselves in support of an admins
tration measure. Senators Crane and
Garter entered at once on a campaign
designed to advance the presidents
program. Already they have conferred
with other senators who are especially
friendly to the administration and
have sought to enlist their services in
a movement to obviate the necessity
of an extra session. The impression
has prevailed at the capitol that Presi-
dent Taft would insist on votes on both
the Canadian agreement and the bill
to create permanent tariff board but
this partially was removed today.
Reciprocity Comes First.
According to the general report at
the capitol the president placed the
Canada agreement above the tariff
board measure and would be satisfied
If the former were enacted at this ses-
sion. In the event the permanent tariff
board measures fail 1t is believed that
an appropriation would be voted in the
closing days of the session to continue
the existing board for another year.
If an extra session should be called
by reason of the failure of the senate
to grant a. vote on the agreement it is
understood the president then will de-
mand the creation of a permanent
tariff board and might go so far as 10

WILL SPEAK IN RENO.
Col. Roosevelt Accepts Invitation
From the Nevada City.

Reno. Feb. s.-Theodore Roosevelt
writing to Senator Dix w. Smith, a
fellow member in the New York as
sembly and an acquaintance since
1888, has accepted an invitation to
speak in Reno on April 8. and in a
characteristic letter declared himself
interested in progressive politics and
even more so in progressive christ
ianity.' The letter came in response
to Mr.. Smiths urgent request that Col
Roosevelt speak in Reno on Civic
righteousness Mr.. Smith told how
the people of Reno had subscribed
$116, 900 for a Y. NJ. c. A. building in
ten days and the most active worker
was P. L. Flanagan, a Catholic, and
member of the National Republican
committee. Col. Roosevelt wrote in
part:
II just threw up my hands when I
heard from you. Good for Senator
Flanagan! Tell him how pleased I am
about the part he took in erecting the
Y. NJ. c. A. building, interested though
I am in progressive politics, 1 am even
more interested in what 1 may call
progressive christianity that is in
having Catholic and Protestant ioin
in standing on a square ethical basis.
We have got to be against the man
who is a crook without any regard
to whether he is a Catholic or Protes-
tant, and for the honest man equally
whether he is a Catholic or whether
he is a Protestant and we must not
let the bigots on either side bring any
trouble to US in America"

TURNED HIM DOWN.
Gardiner Lathrop Defeated on Utilities
Bill Contention.

The senate railroad committee spent
a stormy three hours Tuesday night
trying to fix the new public utilities
bill that it might f1t every corporation
doing business in the state. Their ef-
forts were unavailable, although
counselor for the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railway. told the commit
tee of dozens of objectionable features
in the bill.
Lathrop attacked the bill in a two
hour speech and pointed to a dozen
rights of the Kansas corporations and
utilities. The Chicago lawyer wanted
section 25 eliminated. but the commit
tee refused to accede to his demand
Lathrop declared that the paragraph
restricting the issuance of certificates
of Indebtedness would intimidate the
money borrowers and cause trouble in
the states money circle. To these re-
marks members of the committee took
keen exception and a majority of the
members favored the passage of a bill
which would make the public utilities
be good.
Lathrop came to Topeka Tuesday for
the purpose of attacking the bill and
he was given the privileges of the floor
for two hours. The railroad commit
tee will hold a second session tonight
and will listen to additional objections
to the bill. An effort will be made at
the meeting this evening to agree on
all sections and report the bill in both
houses Thursday morning.

ceived this week by. members of the
legislature in which. profound protests
were made against the utilities bill.
Tuesday afternoon one telegraph COM
pany handled nearly 1000 kilograms
against the utilities measure.

FAIR BILLS SOON.
House Will Consider Three on
Tuesday Night.
Topeka, Wichita and Hutchin-
son in Hopper.
MUST DECIDE WHICH.
Committee Reports All Without
Making Selection.
Ross Memorial Bill Dies in the
House.

The state fair bills have been made q.
special order in the house for next
Tuesday night. Bills have been re-
ported back to the house without rec
ommendation by the ways and means
committee that provide for state fairs
to be held at Topeka, Wichita and
Hutchinson. A selection must be made
hy the legislature OF one of these three
places.
1t is predicted by the house members
that none of these bills will pass the
house, but no member gives any good
reason why a great agricultural state
like Kansas should not have a state
fair and thus keep up with the pro-
cession of states.
Topeka offers the state land valued
at $3.50, 900 and asks for an appropria-
tion of only $4,000. Wichita offers
500, 900 in cash, a tract of land and
no appropriation at all. Hutchinson
offers her fair grounds, valued at $780,
900 and asks for an appropriation OF
$100, ,00O.
The state fair has many supporters
in the house and they will make
hard fight for the passage of a state
fair bill.
The FEEDER bill providing state aid for
rural schools has been made special
order for next Tuesday afternoon at
O'Clock.
The Lambertson bill providing for
a memorial tablet for the late Senator
Edmund G. Ross died in the house this
morning despite the effort of the au-
thor of the bill to revive it. The meas,
ure was reported adversely to the
house by the ways and means commit
tee Davis of Bourbon made speech
against the memorial, using the argu-
ment that Ross, the most unpopular
and worst hated man in Kansas in his
day. was surely not entitled to take
precedence over other Kansas states
men in honor at the hands of his state.
The bill carried with it an appropria-
tion of $400.
I4ambertson defended his bill by de-
cIarine tha- Ross was entitled to this
special consideration from the fact
that he did what he considered his
duty in the face of popular opinion
and that his course had been just1fled
by time.
