this afternoce and the question of it's
legality can then be fought out in the
courts.
In the bill it provided that three
members of the irrigation board shall
be named by the governor and APP
proved by the senate; that these mem
bers shall serve for a term of two years
and each draw a salary of s., 900 a year.
But the bill makes no provision for the
payment of these commissioners and
they cannot be legally paid from the
irrigation revolving fund which is set
aside for a specific purpose and can be
used for no other. So that is one of
the difficulties that must be ironed out
Then there is another. The bill pro-
vides that beginning with the Novem-
Der 1914 election, that the members of
the irrigation commission shall be
elected by the voters. And it also pro-
vides that not more than two of the
three members shall be of the same
political faith. AS no provision is made
for taking the commission out of poll
tics along with the Kansas judiciary,
the voters may have a hard time max
ing good that provision of the law.
The bill also provides that the new
irrigation commission must be approved
by the 1913 senate, but the senate has
gone home and only two or three mem
bers are in Topeka. Besides the gov

ION hearing that the Rev. Herbert

his pulpit it occurred to me it might
be even more fair were opportunity
given to present your case to the same
audience I address.
IF you prefer to do this I shall be
glad to have you come to the First
Baptist church Sunday night and take
the first hour. Then 1 will speak for
an hour. After that you may talk
as long as the people stay with you.
There will be a large attendance and
you will receive respectful attention.
You know / am not at all con-
cerned about the persons or parties
involved in the present election ex

ciples and public policies. 1 am in
this fight because nothing affects our
homes or general well-being more di

end 1 am giving the people the facts.

Sanitary Conditions Excellent in Canal
Zone. Saws Chicagoan.

Chicago, March H.-Passenger Agent
Hatch, of the Illinois Central, has just
returned from the Panama canal zone
to announce that, in his opinion, the
most wonderful achievement of modern
times is the sanitary work done there
by the government.
Ct was in a barber shop down there, "
he said, when a government inspector
came in with an open neck bottle and
a little lamp. He nosed around the
walls and under shelves and in dark
corners until he had three mosquitoes
in his bottle. He carried them to the
door, looked at them critically and
announced that they were harmless,
but took them away to be executed,
because it is capital crime in the canal
zone to be any kind of mosquito.
II can't imagine what detective bu-
reau reported those fugitive insects
in the barber shop But that inspector
knew they were there. and would not
quit until he found them"
