ONLY SIX MORE YEARS


Unless new fields are developed, KAN
sas and Kansas City, Mo-, will be with
out natural gas in six years, according
to a statement made by John Dawson,
attorney general of Kansas.
According to Mr.. Dawson. engineers
and experts have agreed that the fields
now furnishing gas for Kansas can
not hold out for more than six years
The climax in the natural gas situation
will be reached in independence tomor-
row when state receivers, creditors and
stockholders of the Kansas Natural
Gas Co. and two allied companies and
John Dawson will meet to reorganfze
the gas properties.
The plans proposed bs Dawson call
for the eliminating of 81, 90, 900 watered
stock. leaving the valuation at SO, O0O.-
coo. The plan also provides that $500,
600 be set aside out of this years earn
ing. and $4,000 for the following five
years for extensions.

convention system-whether it be by
one route or another. AS for the re-
peal Of the law, that would never do.
Surely Mr.. Travis is not in earnest
about 1t. The people have shown that
they are able to- vote in the state wide
primaries and they will demand that
the law be left on the statute books. :"
Then Capper conceded a point to
Governor Hodges in his argument on
the primary system.
Perhaps there are too many state
officials to elect said Capper. Pos
sibly the voter is unable to gather a
definite knowledge concerning the indi-
vidual qualifications of each man. For
that reason it might be well to make
a few of the offices appointive-well,
say the office of superintendent of in
Surance.
LAS for a return to the convention
system, l am opposed to it. The chief
argument used by those opposed to the
primary is that it destroys party Or
eanization. l think that is correct. 1t
might be well to provide for the hold
ing of delegate convention each BIZ
ennia1. Political conditions could be
talked over at this convention and that
might relieve the present situation.
But would still leave the nominations
in the hands of the people, sss.sss >.
In view of the fact that the Travis
bill to repeal the primary law will be
introduced in the coming session Of the
state legislature, the Capper stand is
of much Importance at this time. While
the new governor did not definitely
state that he would veto any measure
looking to the weakening of the pri-
mary act. his statement indicates such
q course. In that event. a twO-thirds
vote of both houses would be necessary
to pass bill over his veto.
