MULROY'S BILL.

CONTINUED from Page One.)
I.eavenworth county becomes a law.
The Gilman bill prohibits any bust
ness or Commercial college to solicit
business in this state or sell Sehol-
arships or tuition to any Kansan un-
less the school has the official o. K.
of, the state superintendent.
Gilman does not seek to 1egislate
out of business the shorthand, type
writing, bookkeeping and penmanship
schools, but he believes that some of
the schools now doing business within
the state are not giving value received
to their students. Yet Gilman would
not only place a ban on the fake bus
mess colleges of the state, but he
would prevent foreign business col
leges entering the state to induce stu
dents to buy courses or scholarships
unless that school has a bill of good
health from the state superintendent
office.
Another educational bill introduced
in the house by the Leavenworth coun-
ey member provides for the creation
of a standard school in the rural dis
trictS. When a country school has at
tanned a certain standard in its edu-
cational facilities. the Gilman bill pro-
vides that the state shall furnish
door plate for that school certifying
that it is a standard Kansas school,"
There is also a superior school to be
created by the Gilman act and it too
shall have metal door plate indicat-
ing its standard of efficiency. To each
standard school, the state would ap-
propriate $50 annually while the super
ior schools would receive an annual
appropriation of $75 from the state.
An appropriation of $4,000 is carried
under the terms of Gilman's bill to
carry out the provisions of his act.
The mere fact that the senate judic-
t,Ie- i,.@1
bill fatal stab when no one was look
ing, has not discouraged Representa-
tive J. N. Herr in the least and this
morning he started brand new meas
ure on it's road through the legislative
mill. Herr managed to secure the ad-
vancement of his bill to second read.
ing. Then he attempted to have the
bill advanced to third reading, but
stone OF Shawnee called a halt and
the Barber county mans pet piece of
legislature was compelled to take its
regular course.
When the bill gets to the senate for
the second time, Herr will try to have
committee. Almost any of the 81 other
senate committees will suit Herr rea-
sonably we'll, but he will dodge the
senate lawyers. The Herr measure
makes illegal the marriage of whites
and blacks. Two years ago it was
ed the house only to be killed in the
senate judiciary committee.
Perjury in Kansas will be a really
serious offense under provisions of a
bill introduced in the house TODAY bv
Representative Crippen. He would
provide that perjury in a felony case
shall subject the guilty party to
term in the penitentiary for a period
OF not less than seven years. while
similar offense in a civil action or
misdemeanor case would be punish
able by term in prison of not to ex-
coed seven years.
Gilman of Leavenworth county to-
day introduced a state election regis
tration bill. The registration list
would be made up from the vote cast
in the August primaries. Persons
falling to vote in the primaries would
be disqualified for voting in the No
vember election under the Gilman bill.
