FOR PENSION BILL
Senate FavOrS Relief for the
Mothers of Kansas.
Important Welfare Measure
Before House Now.

Senators who put local option
clause into the mothers pension bill
when it came up for action a couple
of weeks ago drew off their opposition
when that measure returned to the
head of today's calendar and advanced
it to third reading with the recon-
mendation that it be passed. The bill
which will go to the house of repre-
Sentatives bears the title of the bill
introduced by Representative Bird,
but the body of the measure which
the senate approved was written by
Senator Price of Clark county

simplest and most direct offer of re

radically diSagreeS with the senate

READY FOR FIGHT

include consideration of the educa-

Shawnee county wagon roads and
highways are in the worst condition
that they have been for years. Since
the snow storm began a few days ago
many of the roads not gravelIed have
been nearly impossible. The thaw-
ing condition today only tended to
make matters worse.
According to reports brought into
Topeka a large number of east and
west roads are drifted from four to
six feet deep with snow. This condi-
ton is more noticeable in northern
part OF the county than IN the south.
Rural mail carriers are having their
troubles One carrier who has a route
running from the North side Office
through the northern part of the
county is delivering mail on one end
of his route one day and travelling the
other end the next Another North
side carrier is carrying his mail on a
pack horse and still another found the
roads SO bad that he did not cover his
route Thursday until o'clock in the
evening.

were almost like quagmires and the
