CELEBRATE END OF SESSION
Senator and Representatives Engage
in Boyish Franks in Legislative
Halls at Topeka.

Topeka-The Kansas Legislature
killed time while waiting for the con-
ference commissions to agree on the
executive and judicial appropriation
bill. This measure provides the money
to pay the salaries and expenses of all
the state departments. 1t is the only
one hung up at the night session
Both branches adopted resolutions
not to consider any bills except appro-
priations, conference reports and the
concurrence in the amendments of the
other branch to original bills
By 9 o'clock these had all been
cared for and the rest of the time the
two branches had fun. The members
threw paper, waste baskets. books and
anything else handy, to celebrate the
end of the session.
The house members put Speaker
Stone in chair and carried him to
the senate He was met with a glass
of cold water, thrown by lieutenant
Governor w. Y. Morgan. Stone climbed
over the desks to get at Morgan, but
the president of the senate ducked.
The consideration of all bills ceased
with the passage of the appropriation
bills. The final adjournment came
Wednesday, three days being given
the governor in which to sign bills.

Topeka.-A bill in the interest OF

800 BILLS DIE ON CALENDAR
Some of the Measures Were of Gen.
eraI Interest, But Were Not
Reached in Either House.

Topeka-The Kansas Legislature
got rid of a lot of trouble when the
two branches allowed some thu ee hun
dred bills to die on the calendar. In
Guided in the list of bills that were
never taken up for consideration were
a lot Of local pet measures and some
of considerable importance to the
state as a whole.
Here are some of the house bills
that are of general interest which
were allowed to die:
Regulating manufacture and sale of
oleomargarine.
Good roads measure.
Providing for recording of divorces
in central vital statistics bureau.
Amendments to public utilities law.
An optional eugenics law.
Creating state highway engineer.
Providing for pure seeds.
On the senate calendar these bills
died:
Prohibiting members of legislature
/ being appointed to state jobs.
Creating provident loan association
to drive out loan sharks.

ton utilities commission.

MAY BUY VOTING MACHINES
Use of Modern Appliances in
Counting Election Ballots.

Topeka.-A bill permitting counties
and cities to buy voting machines for
the primary and general elections was
passed by the house just before the
close of the session. There has been
a voting machine law for many years,
but it was so hedged about that no
county cared to try the modern way
of voting. The fact that the women
are voting now, almost doubling the
number of ballots, caused the legisla-
ture to provide for double election
boards, and then it went one better
and passed the enabling act to permit
the use of voting machines.
An even fifty bills died on the SEN
ate calendar when the senate quit the
consideration of bills. One of the bills
enabled the public utilities commits
sion to send expects to the cities of
the state to help the cities rebuild,
! construct or repair municipal utilities.

that the bill would die there, but it
was taken up later. An amendment
was made that prohibits any state
employee contributing to any cam

work, but allows the employees to
write letters and statements about
state work and candidates The bill
prohibits the employment of any rela-

WOMEN TO CLEAN UP STATE
Members of Various Clubs Will See

Next Month.

Topeka-Kansas club women are
going to make the state spic and span
next month. The grass will be fresh
and green and the trees will be com
ing out and the early flowers will be-
gin to appear in about a month now,
so the club women want to get the
back yards and the alleys clean and
put paint on the old buildings to give
the new spring life proper reception
The women will be cleaning house and
L oy want cleaning up outside as well
as inside.
Governor Capper has proclaimed
April 16 as cleanup day. The clean
up a year ago helped in cutting down
the fire loss from trash piles about 70
per cent The organized clubs of the
state started the cleanup movement
three years ago, and nearly every
town has helped in the work ever
since.
Only three towns refused to haul
the trash away free last year The
women organizations see to it that
the trash and tin cans are cleaned up
and put in the allays and the cities
haul the trash away.

make the act excusable. both from a
moral and a military standpoint.
Russia, France and Great Britain
rallied nobly to her support. and
twice when Servia was menaced by the
Austrian hordes and threatened with
destruction, her allies exerted a pres
sure upon the other battle fronts
which relieved her and enabled her to
repulse the invaders. Then came the
time when the future attitude OF Bull
garia depended upon concessions
from Servia, which Servia fatty re-
fused to grant Bulgaria, therefore,
lined up with the central powers.
At the present time, with the final
decision of Greece hanging in the ball
ance, with the Greek army modified
and ready TO strike, with the only
available route of communication run
ming through Greek territory, should
the allies send troops to the north
east corner Of Servia where she is be-
ing assailed, and Greece then enter
the conflict upon TIE side Of the CEN
trail powers as Bulgaria has done, the
greatest catastrophe might follow.
BY concentrating their relief forces
near the coast, which their battle fleet
commands, a sanctuary will be afford
ed the Servian army in case of utter
defeat and the allies will be in posi-
ton to challenge the German advance
upon ground of their own selection.
The opening of communication with
Turkey is of lesser immediate import
ance than appears upon first glance.
The Turks have succeeded, unaided,
Dardanelles. Since Bulgaria came in,
numbers of men and large quantities
Of munitions have been withdrawn
from the Bulgarian frontier. Turkey
is probably not in sore need of as
sistance at present which, after all,
is all that the German Infusion of
Servia may accomplish. On the other
hand, the German advance is most
costly Thousands of men are falling.
The already long battle front is be-
ing EXTENDED, the thln Hne Oh ueIehu-
ers is growing thinner.
Should. at later date. Roumania
and Greece Join with the allies; should
Russian troops pour through Rou-
mania upon the east, and French and
British troops through Greece upon
che west, the German Bulgarian forces
would be between the jaws of a giant
trap.
The central powers have thus far
been invulnerable by their cohesive
ness. They have, as it were, been
air tight" BY this latest campaign
they have surrendered that immense
military advantage. They have open
ed a loop hole. The future is very,
very uncertain, surely.
