"You have now an opportunity, my
dear Mr.. Quest" he said, "of appre.

entirely reproducible in your own

ownership
The measure in question was intro
duced among the last half dozen bills
on the calendar of the present session
by Senator Joseph of Butler county,
chairman of the public utilities COM
mittee where it was drafted. The fea-
ture of the measure Objectionable in
the eyes of city government is its
provision that any city must submit
to the decision of the public utilities
commission of the state before engaE g
ing in any enterprise for the pur-
chase or Inauguration of a munich
palIy owned utility. 1t wipes off the
statute book the power of cities to

to apply to the board of public utili-

any public service enterprise and pre-

FIGHTING IT OUT
Appropriation Measure an All
Day Scrap in House.
Tries to Keep 1t
From Committee.

For three hours today the house
has fought over the issue of send
ing the big educational appropriation
bills back to the ways and means COM
mittee for joint session with the sem
ate committee. Sherman Elliott of
Douglas county, Republican. offered
the motion to refer back the bills and
precipitated the first real fight over
appropriations in the house this ses-
sion.
Success of the Elliott motion meant
the defeat of the house committee
recommendations 1t was the real
test of strength over the appropria-
lions and Speaker Stone let down the
bars for a wide range of discussion.
In making his motion, Elliott urged
that the only method of settling the
house and senate differences was to
send the bills to a joint committee.
Republican members who had on the
previous day agreed to the appoint
ment Of a joint committee. fought the
Elliott motion on the gounds that it
meant a reversal of the local COM
nlittee.
Chairman keene of the house com
mittee spoke for more than half
hour in opposition to the motion. He
paved the way for a fight between
leaders of the two parties as TO the
good faith of the house and senate
committees in making recommended
lions. He charged that an esta blish-
ed custom of permitting the house
committee to originate the charitable.
judiciary and executive bud had
been ignored by the senate when SEN
ator Shouse introduced charitabl ap-
preparation bills before the appoint
ment of the house committee In his
speech Keene defended the work of
the house committee by declaring it's
members were unanimou on all ex-
cept building items.
DOerr of Pawnee. Democrat, replied
to keene- He added new fuel to the
fire and charged that the house ma
jority was trying to play politics at
the expense of the state institutions.
'|The senate committee on its hon
or as men and not politicians asked
the house committee to appoint a con-
ference committee TO pass on these
bills declared Doerr. The minority
leader then produced a letter from
Senator Shouse to Mr.. Keene asking
for q joint meeting to consider ap-
preparation bills.
Both Keene and Doerr were repeat
eddy interrupted by members from
opposition sides of the house who de-
sired to question statements by the
speaker When a recess was taken at
noon. both sides were lining up for an
all day fight and conceded that in all
probability the appropriation question
would not be settled before late this
evening
The fight was renewed with more
viGor this afternoon.

HATCHED IN EAST?
Charge Against Agricultural
College in House Today.
Legislator Declared Bill Fa-
vOred Chemical Companies.

BY a vote of IS to 10, the house
today passed the live stock committee
bill providing for inspection of COM
merciaI feeding stuffs. Preceding the
consideration of appropriations, the
bill was under fire for a half hour by
members who declared the measure
in the interest of an eastern chemical
company which had enlisted the sup
port of the state Agricultural college
Brown of Greenwood, chairman of
the live stock committee. defended his
bill during the storm period Caudill
of Comanche county sought to kill the
committee measure by substituting
something just as good which had
originated in the senate and is now
tied up in a committee. In his speech,
CaudilI said harsh things about the
commercial feeding stuff measures,
These bills are Matched up by an
eastern chemical company and are en-
dorsed by the state Agricultural col
to force q tag and brand on feeding
stuffs and are asking for something
that the most of US don't know any
thing about. I am in favor of giving
the agricultural college what they
need but not everything they ask
CauduTs remarks aroused Bardwell
of Riley county who arose to per-
sonaI privilege on behalf of the farm
school. He said that the frequent at
lacks on the agricultural college at
this session of the legislature were
indications of misguided statesman
ship and he protested He also favor
ed the bill and wanted it passed with
out amendment. Aided by Brown, the
measure was pushed to roll call and
carried with but 19 opposing votes
when considered several days ago
in committee of the whole, it was re-
garded as probable that enough votes
would oe gathered to beat the bill.

that the farmers are to blame for the

denied that speculation causes high
