SAND LAW UPHELD.
Kansas Can Collect Royalty For Il
T. From RlvSrS.

Topeka April 1.-THE Kansas
state supreme court today upheld the
validity Of the sand royalty law pass.
ed by the 1913 legislature. The law
provides for a tax to be paid the
state on all sand taken from the beds
Of navigable streams. II was argued
by the sand companies that sand IN
the streams was natural product
over which the state has no control
and that anyone was at liberty to ap
propriate it TO his own use.
The state has been collecting the
tax since the law went into effect
but has been unable 70 use the money
because It was paid under protest.
The supreme court held that the
United States gave to Kansas the Il
tie 10 the waters and bed Of all pub
lie or navigabbe streams. The govern
ment recognized by It's surveys that
the Arkansas river almost to the Col
oradO line, the Kansas river and the
Smoky Hill river as far west as Abb
Iene. and some Of the smaller streaml
are navigabNe. The title to any thint
in the water OF beds Of these rivers
belongs to Kansas. according to to
days decision.

and inspecting moving pictures was.

chosen to direct the budding young
mind Of Kansas youths.
So the ultimatum went forth from
Ross office that be would Inspect pic.
ture films on such days and under
such circumstances as he found his
business affairs would warrant-and
Ross himself would be the Judge and
Jury as to whether business did OF
did not warrant inspection. That was
the final word. A few films were in.
Spected. Some were accepted. Som
were rejected. Then the wh Is stop.

Picture film manufacturers saw that
the state superintendent was not en-
tering into the spirit OF the law,
either to collect the revenue which
Is provided, or to safeguard the pub.
lie morals by the rejection Of obiec.
tiUnable films. So the film manufac-
turers smilingly went to the federal
