JUDGE RUPPENTHAL ON REVISION

The proposal of Charles Sessions,
secretary of state, that the Kansas
statutes be coditied is meeting with
state. The laws have not been codi-
fed since 1868, tho an effort was made
in 1879 to do so, but the legislature
of that year did not approve of it.
Judge J. G. Ruppenthal of this jul
dicial district, and one of the men
who helped revise the civil code. and
member of the committee ON the
criminal code revision, in letter to
Mr.. Sessions, makes many suggestions
as to matters that could be worked
out in a complete revision. He
points out that in the laws relating
to schools, bridges, probate courts,
the insane and delinquent, surveyors,
county officers, boundaries of dist
riot courts, justice courts, cities,
libraries and numerous other SUBJ
jects, that there is constant repition
and changes that make the statutes
burdensome and cumbrous In one
place city of the first class is given
right to do things and then the same
section is repeated verbatum in an
other part of the book relating to
second and third class cities. The
same is true of almost every chapter
in the book, there is something in
one section that is repealed in anoth-
er chapter on a different subject.
Much of this could be removed with
out abating one jot or title from the
| meaning or ScOne of the Sfaf1ltaS
Judge Ruppenthal also suggests that
the revision could clarity many sec.
tions by changing the reading.

conventions are held. 1t was given
out that the Kansas democratic edi-

Wilson and that they would endorse
him at Wichitt. They endorsed for

Governor Harmon of Ohio is out of

cernment, for he is the strongest of
the Democratic possibilities. Wilson
may be nominated but the chances
are largely that he will not be.

COTTON BILL RETURNED

President Sends Back Last Tariff
Measure Passed by Lawmakers
Without His Signature and the Ex-
ira Session Comes to an End-No
Business Of Importance T%ansaeted
on the Final Day.
Washington, Aug. 23.-The extraor-
binary session of the Sixty-second con-
gress, the most active session in many
years, has ended. All that remained
for the final days proceedings was the
receipt of the presidents veto of the
cotton tariff revision bill, the final at.
tempt of the Democrats for the ad-
justment of the tariff without waiting
for the report and recommendations
Of the presidents tariff board.
The closing session in the house
was featured by statements by Speak
er Champ Clark and Minority Leader
Mann. Mr.. Clark declared the Demo-
Gratis had redeemed all their promises
and demonstrated that they are doing
their best to lower the cost of living.
The Democratic majority had worked
in absolute harmony, he said. MI.
Mann took a totally different view and
asserted that the Democrats, instead
of putting the president in the hole,
had succeeded only in discrediting
themselves by their i'll considered ef-
forts at tariff tinkering.
In the senate Vice President Sher-
man delivered a brief address before
declaring the session adjourned.
Senate Passes Minor Measures.
For the first two hours the house
marked time on the president, and the
senate waited on both the president
and the house. In the senate a little
miscellaneous legislation was dis
posed of and at 1880 a recess was
taken until 2 p. m, a few senators

The house whiled away the time
largely with little details under sus-
pension of the rules, but kept in ses-
sion continuously. There was a small
attendance, but much confusion, which
evoked vigorous pounding of the
speakers gavel and frequent calls for
order.
The president came to the Capitol
to sign bills in the closing hour, in &C
c0rdance with immem0rial custom.
The first Of the cabinet officials to ap-
pear was Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, who arrived at 1:40, ahead of
the president.
President Taft's message vetoing
the cotton bill was read in the house
at 1902 p. m. As in the case of the
wool and free list bills the president
based his objections to the cotton bill
largely upon the fact that the tariff
board had not as yet had time to sub.
NIT a report on the schedule. He also
declared that the cotton bill was
adopted without any investigation or

Goes Through Without Opposition

Duluth, Aug. 23.-First blood was
drawn by the Wilson faction at the
meeting Of the Association Of State
and National Food and Dairy Depart.
ments. The abrasion was slight and
the Wiley adherents made no protest
to the proceedings.
The red flag was fully Haunted but
1t precipitated no battle.
The little victory for the Wilson
faction was brought about through the
submission of a report by a commit
tee, appointed at the New Orleans
convention last year.
The committee was chosen at that
time to confer with government Off
Gals On the question of closer CO.
operation between state and national
government in enforcing state and ma
tional pure food laws.
Among other things the committee
recommended that a standing COM
mittee of five be appointed by the
president of the association to keep
in close touch with. government Off
Gals and that the secretary of agri,
culture be asked to appoint a commit
tee to meet with the association com.
mittee.

president of the association, is known
to be a strong Wilson man and it is
practically certain he will appoint only

ing committee.
Carried by Unanimous Vote.
When the report was read DR.. l..
p. Brown of the Tennessee state board
of health, who IL the Wiley factions
candidate for president, made a brief
discussion approving the report in
general.
"Of course" he said. there may be
come question as to whether this COM
mittee should be appointed by our
president. or by a vote of the associa-
ton. That is q matter for your de.
cision."
For fully q minute no one spoke,
then President Flanders relieved the
situation by calling for q vote on the
report.
There was no discussion and no dis.
senting voice when the vote was
taken.
Wilson adherents believe this an in
dication that the Wiley adherents will
do all possible to avert a fight in the
convention. In adopting the report
the convention asks the secretary of
agriculture to direct employees in that
department to advise state officials
when they discover violations of the
pure food laws which should be prose-
cuted by a state. 1t promises similar
cooperation with the federal govern.
ment in reporting of violations on the
national pure food and drugs act.
