Under the plan which has been
in operation for years, bank re-
ceiverships were only nice soft
Jobs for political workers; the
jobs paid fat salaries, lasted
many months and resulted in de-
layed collections and ultimate
loss of money for the depositors.
Mr.. Sawyer has had none of
these positions to offer. Since
he became Bank Commissioner
last spring, four State banks
have encountered trou BILE.
Instead of appointing a Re-
ceiyer at fat salary, Mr.. Saw
yer adopted the nursing" sys-
tenn and sent one of his eXami-
ners to take charge of the bank,
straighten out the accounts,
hurry up collections, secure ex-
ira collateral on questionable
paper, and if necessary perfect
a plan for reorganizing the bank
and putting it on its feet again,
and in every case so far, Mr..
Sawyer has succeeded.
Mr.. Sawyer is a Bank Com
missioner who does his work
without the use of brass band
but he does it none the less eff
fectlvely.

1t has repealed the Inheritance
Tax law which was demanded by
an Overwhelming majority of the
state.
1t has placed the state educa-
tional institutions on a business
basis by putting them under the
management of a school board
which is insisting that these in
stitutions be run economically
and in the interest of the people
rather than simply as faculty
concerns.
1t has provided for the state
publication of school books and
the commission which has charge
of that work was in session last
week for the purpose of select
ing manuscripts for publishing
those books on which the con-
tracts expire next year.
1t has adopted the Massachu-
sets form of ballot for which
Governor Hodges had contended
strenuously in two previous leg
islatures. This form of ballot
is Intended to encourage lnde-
pendent and intelligent voting
and William Allen White has had
the courage to say that if Gov
ernor Hodges had accomplished
nothing else, this alone was
enough to entitle him to the graf
itude of the people of Kansas.
1t remained for a Democratic
legislature and Governor to take
the Judiciary out of politics and
to provide for the nonpartisan
election of judges.
1t submitted to the people a
constitutional amendment for
the recall of unfaithful officials.
1t esta bhshed the small debt
ors court which is proving so
successful every where and thus
established the principle of free
justice.
A Democratic legislature pass
ed, and a Democratic Governor
signed the Mahin bill, which has
made it possible to give more eff
fective enforcement to the pro
hibitory law than ever before.
1t abolished the Office of Coun-
ty Assessor to take effect next
year and this alone will save the
counties a very considerable sum
of money.
1t abolished the fee system in
Kansas.
1t passed an effective white
slave law.
1t abolished local oil inspectors,
whereby the state is getting a
revenue of forty thousand dollars
per annum more than it did un-
der the old system.
1t enlarged the scope of the
Working Mems Compensation
Law.
1t provided for a Divorce Proc
tor which has had the effect of
reducing the number of divorces
in Kansas.
