Will Have Only One Column.

Topeka, Feb. 14.--After the first
of next June the Massachusetts ball
lot law will apply to all elections
held in Kansas. Governor Hodges

rooster will be seen no more on
election ballots in Kansas. AS
Speaker w. L. Brown puts 1t, "the
poultry yard has been discarded"
Under the Massachusetts, ballot

other in regular order. All the
candidates for given office, no

WHERE IS REFORM
ASKS A DEMOCRAT
Says Party Forgets Promises and Is
Extragagant.
HAS RAISED APPROPRIATIONS
Asks That Appropriation Bills Go
Over to Next Congress and
That They Be Pruned I'm
Meantime.

Washington. Feb. 15.-A hot at.
tack upon Democrats of the house
for their "extravagant" appropria-
lions was delivered on the floor
yesterday by Representative Rod
lenbery OF Georgia, who declared
the appropriation bills should die
at this session and go over to the
next congress, when they could be
properly pruned by a Democratic
house and senate"
"The agricultural appropriation
bill and the army BILL" he said,
"both show an increase. The rivers
and harbors bill is nearly twice as
large as last year. The big sundry
civil bill is yet to come. The naval
bill is increased practically $780,
0O0 900. Where is the bill in which
we have carried out our pledge to
the people that we would reduce the
expenditures of public moneys?
Where are the reforms we promised
when we denounced Republicans for
gross profigacy in the expenditure
of the house funds?
"But we yet have time to cut
down these enormous bills. 4 DEM
ocratic president will be inaugural
ed within the next three weeks. A
Democratic house will sit here and
a Democratic senate will sit at the
other end of the capitol. Why not
let these new men coming in, men
who have been charged with the re-
sponsibilities Of government by the
people, shape these charges against
the treasury?
shall we let our president come
into power facing the most profit
gate expenditure of public money
that this republic has ever known?
AS for me, am willing to join any
Of my colleagues in concerted cru
SADIE to defeat this legislation that
violates our platform pledges and
our faith with the people, and If no
effort is made henceforth
until March a, shall endeavor so
far as am able to oppose this reck-
less extravaganza"
A round of applause greeted Mr..
speech. Later, Repre-
sentative Tribble of Georgia made
/ speech attacking the naval bill /
that it was at least one
bird too high.
To add to the troubled situation,
he public appropriation bill carry
ng about 100000 will be
rought in today.

Was Not Surprised That Progress
sives Ignored Olive Branch.

j
Topeka. Feb. 16.--Fred Stanley
OF Wichita. Republican national
committeeman for Kansas. was moi
surprised by the action OF the Pro-
gressives in Topeka this week when
they utterly ignored the extended
olive branch-the one extended by
the Republicans on Kansas Day. Mr..
Stanley says he still hopes for q
united party, but that he did not
expect the Progressives who gather
ed in Topeka to make any move In
that direction.
THE action of the meeting" he
said, "in rejecting the offer of har-
mony submitted by the Republicans
at the Kansas Day meeting was only
to be expected. The meeting was
called expressly for the purpose of
creating new party and not for
the purpose OF returning to the Re-
publican party. The overtures of
peace subIhitted by the Republicans
were made to those who desired to
come back to the party, and were
not intended for those who deliber-
ately desired to affiliate themselves
with another and adverse peyty. We
who are Republicans realized that
there were those who believed that
1t was necessary for them to be-
Oome members of a third party. They
have a perfect right to associate
themselves with such party and We
have no fault to find with them for
10 doing.
"There is, however, in the state
Of Kansas very large number who |
supported the so-called Progressive |
at the last election who |
ire now unwilling to leave the Re-
publican party and become MEM
,ers of party adverse thereto. 1t
vas to those that the. overtures of
harmony issued by the Kansas Day
Tub were addressed. These over
ures were made in good faith and
Ill sincerity and they are still open.
am glad to say that they are also
,eing received in the same spirit
n which they were given by large
numbers of Progressives who tenn
left the party.sat the last
lection, and l am firmly convinced
hat before the next state election
o mahy of them will have returned
hat the Republican party will pre-
emit a united front to the enemy,
strengthened and purified by the
pirit OF harmony and good feeling
7hich will prevail. / have great
ope for the immediate reconstruc-
lon and future success Of the Re-
ublican party"

Big Majority.

Estates Passing to State
Ownership.

q test whether the senate was
against the inheritance taxation or
not.
Senator Josephs of Butler desig-
mated inheritance taxation as social
ism; Bowman of Anderson opposed
the bill, saying:
THE state would become an heir

step, the divisions would be smaller
for the heirs and larger for the
state, and we would reach the end
the Socialists want us to reach"
Senator King of Cowley urged
that the taxes be paid by the living.
Mahin of Smith wanted direct heirs
exempted and indirect heirs taxed.

THE MONEY TRUST.
From the COmmOner.

The testimony now being given be-
fore the Pujo committee will open the
eyes Of those who have regarded the
money trust as a myth and the
criticism Of it as the mounting of
demagogues.' The witnesses, many
Of them reluctant ones, are forced to
admit the existence of a condition
which shocks the moral sense Of the
country. If the terrorized business
men of New York are unable to break
the hold of this tyranical combination,
they ought to be grateful to the peo-
pie outside for the release that is
sure to come as result OF the inves-
tigation. The people will not, when
the facts are known, tolerate a con-
tinuation Of the !blackhand methods
by which the big financiers have dom
mated the business world; neither
will they allow few hundred stock
brokers to prolong their saturnalian
feast at the expense of the public.
Progressiveness includes legislation
which will protect the public from
both the pirates and the gamblers Of
Wall street
