The Pennsylvania railroad has pur-

Express packages in nearly all large

In 1902 the first electric truck was

OF 10000 towns in France having
more than 1000 inhabitants, about

In two months 142 old houses were

REGARDING STATE TAXES.

Although the 1913 session of the
legislature has appropriated nearly a
half million dollars more than the ses
sion of two years ago, the amounts to
be raised by direct taxation are the
same as those Of 1928. Senate Bill
No. SO6, signed Friday by Governor
Hodges, fixes the amount to be rails
edd by direct taxation in 1914-15 at
S,OOO,OOO, the same amount as was
raised by legislative enactment in
1911.
In 1911 the appropriations totaled
$4,000, 900 in round figures, while this
year they reach total of $500, 900.
That means that with the $1,000, 900
to be raised by direct taxation, that
the additional $1,SOO,OOO must be rails.
ed by indirect tax. Chapter 800 of
the session laws of 1911, provide for
the raising of the same amount of
funds in 1922, as senate bill SOC
provides to raise in 1914-15. In 1912,
a total state tax of $S,6OO,OOO was
raised, while the amount necessary
for 1913 was SS,4OO,OOO. For 1914 the
state will collect in taxes $500, 900
and will raise SO, 10000 in 1915.
Governor Hodges believes that the
added revenue from the new sand
bill, picture film law, the corporation
taxlaw and from other sources, will
provide sufficient funds to keep the
levy down to its present figure. In
TACT, the governor believes that with
the probable increase in assessable
property that a slight reduction in
the levy may be possible.

BROWN FOR SENATOR.

Speaker w. l.. Brown has formally
announced his candidacy for the Unit.
ed State senate to succeed ]. l..
Bristow. Mr.. Brown will make a for
midable candidate and will have a
loyal and enthusiastic support from
Democrats and Independents through
out the entire state.
There is no more popular Democrat
in Kansas today than the distinguish
ed and able speaker of the house. It
is the unanimous opinion OF disinter-
ested and unbiased observers that no
man in either branch of the legisla-
ture of 1913 made a better record
than the gentleman from Kingman.
AS speaker of the house he was con-
fronted with an arduous and difficult
task. From the opening day of the
SSooAOn until llo NIOoC ut NdO VIII
plete master of the situation. 1t is
the concensus of opinion by those per
sons who know something about the
history Of legislatures in this state
that Kansas, throughout her eventful
history never had a better or more
brilliant speaker. He made good all
along the line.
In addition to his duties as presid-
ing officer of the house, he was also
the practical leader of the majority.
1t was due to his ability as a leader
and as a fighter that nearly every
single platform pledge of the party
was crystalized into law by the low
or house.

WILL SIGN 300 BILLS.

As result Of this session Of the
legislature, it is probable that about
800 new laws will be enacted. Pre-
dictiOns made today on the number Of
bills Which would be signed by Gov
sfaor Hodges, put the figures at
ab0ut 300. When the governors Of
ice closed last night, Governor
hedges had signed just 173 bills. A
record Of the bills which will be ap-
proved by the Kansas executive to-
DAY and sent back to the legislature
NTH the official o. K, will probably
total So, bringing the grand total
o. bills signed to 22S for the session.
Among the bills to be reported ia
E0rably this afternoon and which are
already in the hands of the governor
are the appropriations for the state
educational institutions, including
Kansas university, the state normal
and agricultural college. The appro-
priation for. the Weir City school of
mines found a way into the miscel-
laneous appropriation bill last night,
but has noe yet received attention in
