TAKES SWAT AT IT
House Bill Protesting Against
Proposed Federal District.
In Interest of Economy, Meas.
ure Urged in Legislature.

Representative Hoerr of Pawnee
county, Democrat, today took a free
swat at tt hopes and dreams of Kan
sas lawyers who want a new federal
judgeship created for this state.
Doerr has introduced in the house a
resolution calling upon congress to
practice economy and refuse to create
a new federal judicial district in this
state.
The Doerr resolution points out that
the present federal judge is occupied
with his Official duties but about half
of the time and that there is no de-
mand or OCCASION for another district.
The nation asrwe1I, as the state should
urges 1.-The establishment Of another
federal court in Kansas is unca1led
for and Unnecessary and will add an
other burden to the taxation of the
nation and we are opposed to it," says
Doerr in his resolution.
Copies of the resolution viii be sent
to members of the Kansas delega ton
in Washington as well as to the federal
attorney general. the president and
members of his cabinet.
A movement for a new federal judge
ship in Kansas has been agitated for
some time. 1t is understood that sew
eral members of the Kansas delegation
favored the plan.
A Democrat would have doubtless
landed the place had the measure been
adopted under the present administra-
tion. For that reason the attitude of
in fighting the movement came as a
surprise to the men who have been
watching the fight for the creation of
the new district.

Legislature Will Be Asked for
Judgeship Increase.
District Court Judges and JUS
tees of Supreme Court.
KANSAS STANDS Low IN U. S.
Only Two States Pay Less
Money to Men ON Bench.
ReappOrtiOnment of Judicial
Districts Also Is Planned.

The Kansas legislature will be asked
to increase the salaries of district court
Judges and justices of the supreme
court. A bill being drafted by house
members. would increase the salaries
of district judges from $4,000 to $4,OOO
a year and salaries of supreme court
Justices from $4,000 to either $4,000 or
$4,000 u year.
Kansas jurists who are in session in
Topeka this week have quietly urged
the measure for an increase in their
pay checks. A statement prepared by
members of the district judges asso-
ciat- I shows comparative salaries of
district and supreme court judges in
the United States. In the table, which
includes 4S states it is shown that in
but two states are the salaries of dis
trict judges below those paid in Kan
sas, while three states pay their SUI
preme court justices less than does
Kansas.
Taken as an average, Kansas judges
are underpaid, the legislative members
are informed. number of lawyer
members of the legislature have been
provided with copies of the salary
statement and with this document for
argument, a bill Is now being drafted
which will seek to increase the sal
aries of the various judges OF the dis
trict and supreme courts.
The average pay for supreme court
-
than is paid in Kansas. according to re-
ports from other states. District judges
receive an average salary of $4,000 a
year, or 81 900 more than is paid in this
state. The bill now being drawn will
doubtless seek to raise the pay of Kan
sas jurists to the average.

in salaries, it is probable that the leg

FOR DEBTORS COURT.


To make more effective the small
debtors court law. an amendment was
proposed in the house today by Rep
rescntative Pierce of Wyandotte coun-
ty. Pierce would strengthen and
broaden the operation of the act
through an increase in the amount for
which a labor claim may be filed and
by permission to issue a garnishment
from the court.
Under the law passed in 1913, the
maximum amount for which a suit
might be filed was $50. No provision
was made in the act enabling the is
suance of garnishment from the
court. 1t was the intention of the
trainers of the law to afford relief for
small debtors whose claims were too
small to warrant contest in a court
of record or deposit of a fee for costs.
In the two years that the law has been
on the statute books. many cases have
been disposed of in the larger towns
of the state. 1t is believed. however,
that the operation of the law would
become more effective if jurisdiction
were provided in cases involving claims
OF $50 or less. The Pierce provision for
issuance of garnishment was over
looked in the original draft of the bill

BY HARVEY PARSONS.

1t has been decided by the Kansas
legislature that the rights of the wife
beater shall not be jeopardized by leg
islation The Endres bill provided a
long rest both wife and husband
after the second beating. but it is the
opinion of majority of the house
members that one good beating might
MT be fficient to tame wife. so the
husband is entitled to a second swat
at her. OF course the Kansas leglsla-
ture does not go on record as favor
ing wife beating as a pastime and rec
ommends that indulgence in that
sport be temperate. No husband is
invited to go on wild spree of wife
beating. or to use a club weighing
more than nine pounds with the bark
on, but the proposition is left largely
to the discretion of the husband.
One might gather that, since wo-
man has lowered herself to an equal
i.y with nan by suffrage. the chivalry
business has taken a slump. Time
was when any proposition to protect
lovely woman would have received
unanimous support. Now the idea
to some of the protection and that wo-
men. tn ice armed, may take care of
themselves. To be sur, per cent of
the men still remove their hats when
they get into an elevator with the fe=
male of the species. Some habits are
hard to break. but they will be broken
in time and then the long-souSht per-
feet equality will have been accom-
plished.
That the BARRIERS inspection board
will have it's job oiled and slipped
from under it. is a settled fact. and 1t
begins to look like the job of hotel
inspector might follow to the discard.
However, the removal Of the state
hotel inspector is not satisfactory to
the hotel interests, who prefer a prac-
teal hotel man for the job rather
than clerk from old Doc Crum-
bine's office. The proposition to
operate on Miles Mulroy for the re-
moval of his job meets with the ap-
proval of the house, and is now
checked up TO the senate. The wolves
are close after Mr.. Mulroy's ibeN,
which is some shame. Mr.. Mulroy is
a good inspector, doing his work in a
pleasant, gentlemanly manner and re-
quiring high standard without being
unreasonable. He hasn't paid himself
board and lodging while sojourning at
his own home or done any of the
other things that put the BARRIERS
board i'll bad.

railroad legislation now before the legis-
lature, but as a rule such legislation ix
conducted by well-meaning persons
who want to do something for the poor
working man without first asking the

willing workers remind one of the dear
old lady who puts in her time knitting
WOODEN wristIets for the dear little
Hottentots. bunch of "uplift' lobs are
busily engaged in trying to legislate
few thousand girls out of jobs by pass
