males that claim to belong to the
Farmers Union in Kansas; and sew

Washington Senator Trying Hard to

The senate committee on claims and

them.
Wilson expressed the opinion of his
committee that something ought to be
done to check the flood Of demands
for reimbursement which pour into
the legislature at every session,
but he idn't get much real help from
