the eternal warfare on the petition
question between vets and drys.
Doster's bill adds family reunions
to the statute which prohibits traffic
in liquor within four miles of public
religious or patriotic meetings.

VOTE-TRADING.

Notwithstanding the denial of some
of the legislators to the contrary,
there seems to be plenty of evidence,
under the surface, at least, that there
has been much proposed trading of
votes on the part of many members
of the legislature in respect to much
of the legislation in which they are in
terested. But this is no unusual con-
dition of affairs. 1t has been INDUCED
in more or less in every Kansas legis-
lature of recent years. 1t has been
done in legislatures in other states and
even in congress. 1t is a notorious
fact that this is the way much of the
tariff legislation of recent and distant
years has been brought about.
The practice, though, is one that
has nothing to commend it except the
selfish desires of the Lawmakers who
engage in it, or the selfish desires OF
their constituents 1t has been re-
sponsible for the enactment into law
of much legislation that is not worth
while A member of the legislature
or the locality he represents, has some
pet scheme that is deemed desirable
but in which there really is nothing Of
sufficient Importance to warrant leg,

champion of such a bill will trade hi
vote on this and that measure IL
which other legislators are interested
for their votes on his bill. He get
enough to pass the bill. and gets ex

governor may be especially interested
Much of the freak legislation that get
on the statute books is brought abou
in this way. And occasionally som
legislation which is actaully viciou
slips into the law books by the sam
route.
But because activities of this sor
are or have been so general in Kansa
and other legislative bodies. that's n
excuse for them. They preclude tn
