Civil Service Nullifies Preference
Law; Veteran Loses Suit.

Topeka, Kan.-The old soldiers
preference law is a good one so long
as it does not conflict with the civil
service rules under the commission
form Of government, then it is worth
less. SO holds the Kansas supreme
court in the case brought by H. X.
Goodrich, candidate for appointment
as superintendent of the Topeka cleo
trio light plant against the mayor ana
city commission of Topeka.
Goodrich is an old soldier and was
superintendent of the electric light
plant under the old councilmanic form
of government for many years. When
the commission form was adopted 1t
was provided that that and other pub
lie service appointments should De
filled from a certified list Of candi
dates who had excelled in civil service
examinations. When the examination
to fill the electric plant place was
held, Goodrich did not take it. Others
did take 1t and Goodrich applied for
appointment with those who passed
the examination. HIS application ""S
made under the old soldiers prefer
ence law, which provides that an old
soldier qualified to hold position to
which he seeks appointment shall be
given preference over candidates who
are not old soldiers.
The mayor and city commissioners
paid no attention to the Goodrich ap-
plication and appointed another. Good
rich filed proceedings in quo warranto
in the supreme court to force his ap'
pointment. The court does not sustain
Goodrich. 1t says: "The statute re-
quiring certain appointments in cities
operating under the commission form
of government to be made from a GER
titled list of candidates who have ex-
celled in a civil service examination
is not limited to its operation by the
earlier statute requiring the appoint
ment of an ex-soldisr whenever one
who is competent is an applicant for q
position in the public service"

BOARD MAY LIMIT
NUMBER OF BANKS
SUPREME COURT HOLDS OFF,
GALS HAVE RIGHT TO DENY.
Abilene Concern Loses-Banklng, Re-
lated Intimately to Public, May be
Restricted, Ruling.

Topeka, Kan.-The supreme court
has denied the application OF the IN
corporators Of the Central State bank
of Abilene for a writ Of mandamus 10
compel the state charter board 10
grant permission to establish the BANK
thereby unfolding the contention OF
two members of the board that 1t mas
discretionary powers under the law 10
restrict the banking business OF the
state. The court held in its decision
that "the business of banking is so H.
timately related to the public welfare
that it properly falls within the scope
of the police power of the state, exeN
disable by the legislature"
Abilene already had three establish
ed banks and fourth had been grant
ed a charter. The fifth application
that of the Central bank, was denied
J. N. Dolley, bank commissioner, ana
Charles Sessions, secretary of state
voted against granting the charter, and
John Dawson, attorney general voted
for it. The supreme court found that
charter board showed that there was
not enough business In the comHuh-
ity to support even four banks ana
that conditions did not justify fifth
institution. The charter board regard
ed the statute giving 1t the powers 10
reglatue the banking business as man
datory, and the supreme court holds
the law constitutional.
The contention of the attorneys Tor
the bank was that under the constltu'
ton, "all men are possessed of equal
and inalienable natural rights, among
which are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. The court holds tnat
the right to liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness includes the right to enjoy
ones faculties and properties IN a
gainful occupation of his own choos'
ing. but this right has never been re-
garded as absolute by either the Eng
lish or American law.

KANSAS TOPICS
Value Doubled During Law Suit.

Smith Center, Kan.-When the Kan
sas supreme court recently upheld
the findings of the district court judge
at this place and ordered F. M. Clau-
dell to make deed to 1,040 acres of rich
Solomon river bottom land to DR.. l..
G. Golden, 1t probably put an end to
the suit involving the largest amount
OF money of any ever tried in this
county.
Mr.. Claudell listed the land for sale
with a real estate firm in this city four
years ago al $50 per acre. A buyer
was soon found in the person of MI.
Golden, but when Mr.. Claudell was ten
dered the purchase price he refused 1t
and declared he would not make a
deed. The real estate firm sued him
to recover commission and won their
suit and two years ago Mr. Golden be-
gan the action to make him live up to
his contract The district court found
for the plaintiff and the case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court, with the
result as above stated. Since the con.
troversy first began the land has in
creased rapidly in value and is worth
almost double what Mr.. Golden Will
have to pay under the contract he
signed four years ago.

Meade, Kan.-The latest case OF
earth cracking reported is in the east
ern part of this county. Big cracks
some of them as much as five feet
wide and several feet deep and eighty
to one hundred yards long, have lately
formed on farms near Fowler. The al
falfa field on the farm of w. A. Bur-
ford. two miles south of Fowler, crack
cd omen in several places. While MT
Burford was moving hay in his alialfa'
one Of his mules dropped into crack
few days later other large cracks
opened in the same field, extending al
most one hundred yards in southeast
erlv direction and of sufficient width
and depth to bury horse. Mr.. Burford
described the cracks as being In each
case wider at the bottom than at the
ton. The most spectacular "earth
crack" occurred near the salt marsh
in Northeastern Stafford county A
great cavity was burst in the earth'
the shock of which was plainly heard
in Great Bend and other nearby towns
Following this bursting open OF the
earth the water of Rattlesnake creek
nearby became oily.
