MAYOR VS.. CO.. CLERK
Shall Tax Rolls Be Taken to Mayors
Office?

IF I cannot bring the mountain to me
1 suppose 1 will have to go to the noun
tain.' observed Mayor Cofran this morn
ing.
The mountain in tbs instance Is the
assessment rolls Of the county in possess
sion of County Clerk Swayze from which
1t is the duty CT the mayor to draw a
jury list.
The mayor wants the list brought or
taken to his office for the purpose of pick
ing out prospective jurors.
County Clerk Swayze says that those
assessment rolls can not go out OF his
office.
And so there you are.
City Attorney Ralston told the mayor
that he would today see Judge Dana OF
the first division of the district court
and secure a ruling on the question.
The law reads that the proper township
officer and the mayor Of any city not In
the incorporated limits of a township
"shall during the month OF April at his
office" prepare a list Of jurors from the
assessment rolls of the preceding year.
Mayor Cofran takes the position that
Eat his office means at his office. If
the mayors contention Is upheld 1t will
mean that the assessment rolls can also
be carried about over the county for each
township officer to select from Tor his
list Of jurors. County records are at
least supposed to be kept at the court
house and the county clerk will hold to
that position unless ordered to do other
wise by Judge Dana.

A FULL COUNTY TICKET
That L. Threat OF Bun Moose Leaders
Of Shawnee.

Shawnee county Progressives will
meet In the assembly room at the Ma
tional hotel at 1870 Saturday after
noon and will arrange to put q full
ticket in the field in Shawnee county.
according. to an announcement made
tEfs afternoon by e. e. Roudebush.
chairman Of the Shawnee county Bull
Moose committee. The plan of Roude-
Lush and his associates skaters the
hopes and plans Of Shawnee county
Republicans who had confidently pre-
dtcted that there would be but q two
cornered fight in this county.
The Roudebush call urges all Pro-
sressive voters in Shawnee county to
attend the meeting. Plans for bring
ing out candidates for the various Of
fices will be discussed at the meeting
and it is probable that names of cam
didates for all offices in the county
plan not only to contest for the court
house jobs, but will fight for the three
r.embers Of the state legislature from
this county.
said Roudebush today, land I believe
that a good many Of the candidates
Eames will be announced either at or
following the Saturday afternoon
meeting. Nominating petitions for
these candidates will be circulated at
llfC lnccllu6 anu we are duAlOOS lual
every Progressive voter who can do
SO. will be present"
Roudebush stated that a number of
names Of prospective Progressive can
Jidates had been suggested, but he
declined to discuss these candidates.
IN advance of the meeting.
An effort is now being made to Sc
cure a Progressive speaker of state
wide prominence to address the Satur-
day meeting and it is probable that
either State Chairman U. S. Sartin,
Congressman Victor Murdoch or
Henry J. Allen will be here. All of
these men will be in Wichita tomor-
Tow for the Eighth district Progressive
banquet and an effort is now being
made to induce at least one of these
men to come to Topeka.
E. E. Roudebush is chairman of the
Shawnee county committee and H. H.
Hall of North Topeka, is secretary.
More than 80 of the, ~ voting pre-
cincts in Shawnee county have repre-
sentation on the Progressive county
committee. Until the Roudebush an
nouncement today however, it had
been generally claimed that the Pro-
gressives would make no effort ito put
a local ticket in this county. The
Roudebush plan is in accordance with
the war cry of William Allen White to
carry the local ticket fight into every
county in the state

With the arrival Of consignment

The laboratory of the milk inspec-

DR.. Rowles Is glad to have the public
visit and be shown how his work is
done.
The efforts to give Topeka a pure

end with the inspection of the milk.
The animals from which the milk
comes are also to be subjected to in

any of the cows no more milk from
such animals will find its way to mar
