topeka LEADS IN SALARY
PAID HER HEAD OF SCHOOLS

Topeka leads the other first class cities
of the state in the matter of salary paid
to the superintendent of school, by a mar
gin of $500 a year. Kansas City, with
more than twice the school population
pays her superintendent $500 per annum,
where Topeka's, superintendent draws a
stipend of $4,000
The reports now being filed with the
state superintendent of public instruction
show there is uniformity in Kansas
cities of the first class in the matter of
salaries for ether superintendent, prin-
cipals of nigh schools or for teachers in
high or graded schools. Each is a law
unto itself so that the desirability of
position on the educational staff of any
of the larger municipalities of this state
is entirely a matter of location.
The following table shows the situation
in nine of the first class cities of Kansas
as to the number of teachers employed,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Special Corr Of TnE REprBmcAy.
Washington D. c., Feb. 13, 1913.

Washington D. c., Feb. Is, 1913.
Speaker Clark is impatient with the
Indifference to business now manifested
by members of the House When less
than a. dozen men hear the chaplain
prayer and respond to the call to order,
neglect has about reached the limit.
This is not the case in the Senate.
There is never a dead session on that
side. All the Taft nominations are held
up. The obstructionists claim that as
the people declared for new men and
new policies. last November, nearly
every thing should be postponed until
the new administration comeS,in.
Senator Thomas, progressive demo-
crat from Colorado, is the first tolbe
elected by the popular vote of both men
and women, and promises to become
one of the leaders. He has, already,
twice broken the tradition against sena-
tors not taking part in debate until af-
ter several years of service.
All the big appropriation bills are yet
to be considered. and it is feared some
will fail of enactment, and if the new
Congress in its special session fails to
pass them promptly, we may have
repetition of the spectacle of last sum-
mer when for six weeks there were no
appropriations for the regular current
expenses of the government.
1t comes from good authority that the
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton, which recently received the ap-
prevail of the Senate, authorizing six
year term for the President, and re-
stricting him to one term. will not be
further considered by the present Con-
gress. This is due to the opposition of
friends of Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt,
who fear that the amendment might
affect their eligibility for reelection.
