Repealed inheritance Tax Law.

The 1913 legislature was true to It's
platform pledge and kept faith with
the people when it repealed the in
iQuitous Inheritance tax law. The
measure was passed by a Republican
legislature under the Stubs admins
tration to cover up increased ex-
travagances and put tax on the sor-
rows that entered the homes Of hun
dreds of Kansans. In 1910 the Demo
Gratis pledged the repeal Of the law
and the party members Of both houses
worked with that aim in view. But
the Republicans were in control Of
the legislature and the law stayed on
the statue books. One Of the first
things the Democrats did in 1913,
however, was to kill off the unjust
and unpopular law. It was one Of the
thirteen platform promises that were
redeemed during the legislative ses'
sion.

Even Republicans and Bull
MOOsers Support Their
Many Measures.
RECORD OF OTHER PARTY
SUPPORT At WASHINGTON
National Currency Act Well FIanked
by Republicans and Bull Moos-
ers in congress-The Vote
Records.

With plea that the Democratic
party in the state and nation are so
progressive that even the progressive
ly inclined Republicans and many
third party Progressives have sup
ported their measures, the record of
the state legislature and the national
congress will be read to Kansas vot-
ers during the closing weeks Of the
campaign. Much of the argument for
the progressive records OF the Demo
Gratis will be based on the vote on
the national currency act. That bill
carried not alone the national admin
istration members support, but was
supported by three Republicans and
one Progressive in the senate and by
IS Republican and IA Progressive
congressman.
In the United States senate the
federal currency act was supported
by Miles Poindexter Of Washington, a
Progressive leader Of national impor-
lance. George W. Morris, former
third party Progressive and a mem
Der of the United States senate from
Nebraska, also voted for the bill. In
the house Congressman Victor Muir
dock Of Kansas supported the admin
istration measure. Murdock voted
with Bell of California, Bryan Of
Washington, Chandler of New York,
Kelley of Pennsylvania, Latferty OF
Oregon, Woodruff of Michigan, Thorn
son of Illinois and half dozen other
Progressive members Of congress
when the bill was up for final passage,
Not only did the progressive Re-
publicans vote with the Democrats in
the passage of the federal currency
bill, but on the passage of the Clay
ton antitrust bill Murdock Of Kansas
and fourteen other congressman voted
for the act. Murdock and thirteen
other Progressives voted with the
Democrats for the act regulating rail
way securities.
If the Progressives are really fol
progressive legislation they are get
ting it through the Democratic party,
said E. E. Murphy, Democratic state
chairman. The record in congress
shows the national Progressive lead
ers and the progressive Democrats in
accord on reform measures. When
the Wilson policies are good enough
for Murdoch they are certainly suffi
ciently progressive to satisfy the or
binary progressively inclined voter.
The record OF votes in the Kansas
house and senate is now being com
piled with view of proving that the
Progressives and Democrats voted to
gether on many progressive state
laws.

Governor Hodges Plans Re-
forms in State Medical
Legislation.
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
UNSELFISH IN FUTURE WORK
Five Men Appointed From Over State
to Unity and standardize Laws
Pertaining to Practice Of
Medicine.

Utterly without concern over their
prospects for reelection this fall and
unselfishly planning reform and legis-
lauve betterment in Kansas, the
Democrats of the present state ad-
ministration are forming daily meas
ures for presentation In the leg1sla-
ture this winter.
The latest sweeping action to be
taken is the appointment by Governor
Hodges Of a committee Of five to draft
revision Of the state laws bearing
on the practice Of medicine.
For the last two years the Demo
cratic state administration has been
working for the laws to be considered
BY the coming legislature. At times
they have brought down criticism and
abuse upon their heads only to
emerge with victory over the COM
planning few with the sentiment in
their favor.
The recent action Of Governor
Hodges was taken following a request
from the Kansas State Medical so
ciety that something be done to cor
rect the inadequate, confusing and
contradictory laws bearing on medi-
cine now in effect in this state. Real.
izing the importance Of the move to
the public health and welfare OF the
state, the administration took imme-
date steps to appoint committee Of
revision and order an investigation Of
the laws now standing on the statute
books.
The committee follows:
DR.. ]. A. Milligan, Garnett; DR.. ].
3. Sawtelle, Kansas City; DR.. W. l.
Burdick, Lawrence; Fred Dumont
Smith, Hutchinson; F. T. Ransom,
Wichita.
The new committee will study the
laws Of other states and attempt to
create a standard and unifUrm law
that will apply 10 the art Of the treat
ment Of diseases and how those who
follow this art as a profession may
attain to 1t and be legally authorized
so to do.
The committee will embody in its
report a complete codofication so that
all the laws relative to the practice
of the art of healing may be found in
one book.

DooLITTLE AND HIS LOAN BILL.
Kansas Congressman Feels Sure o.
Passage Of Measure.

Word has been received in Topeka
to the effect that the famous Doc
little loan bill in congress was at last
reaching a point where its passage
was assured the people Of Kansas and
all the great agricultural southwest.
Congressman Doolittle has been
taking poll of the house for the last
few weeks with the following result:
Members polled, SO2.
For the bill, 1877.
Against the bill, 81
Non-commital, IA.
81 feel very much encouraged"
writes the congressman from the
Fourth Kansas district. l feel sure
of the final passage and all its main
features with the possible exception
Of one and that is not considered vital
to lowering interest rates under the
terms of the bill"
The Doollttle farm loan measure Is
what Kansas and the section Of the
United States interested in agricul-
tural pursuits have been wanting for
years. Long time credit for farmers
and cattlemen with lower interest
and no fear Of foreclosure is the secret
Of the back to the farm" movement
In this and other states. The stock
and crop raiser must be protected in
lean years If he is to further the agri
cultural interests Of the nation.
Congressman Doolittle is meeting
with powerful opposition in this meas
ure. He is supported "by the back
bone Of the nation and opposed BY
skin" Doolittle, II this bill passes
congress, will have overcame tbs
strong lobbyists Of the loan agencie!
and insurance companies Of th'
United States.
The farm loan gives the farme
government loans at low interest OF
farm security. The uncertainty o
renewals at higher interest and thI
gamble Of the weather need have NJ
worries for the ambitious and ensl
getic Kansan.
