Denton IN THE BREACH
Offers Bill to Settle Panama Fair
Commission Controversy.

Senator Denton of Elk county, has
introduced the biz by which the
friends of the Panama Pacific expo
sition expect to untangle the snarl in
have been plunged by the successive
investigations and criticisms of it's
financial arrangements. The Denton
bill amends the 1913 act creating the
Kansas commission and authorizes
that body to name one of its MEM
perS as secretary on salary of 800
a month The bill carried out the rec
ommendation made by Governor Ar
thur Capper and members Of the COM
mission
Under the proposed Denton amend
ment the secretary of the commission
may draw salary during the EXPOSE
ton and for not to exceed two months
after its close. The commission may
maintain offices on the ground and en-
gage such clerical and other assist
ance as it requires.
The 1918 law appropriated $4,000
for Kansas exhibit at the Panama
Pacific exposition and provided for
three commissioners who should di-
rect the expenditure of the fund with
out pay. The positions. while honor
airy. involved an immense amount OF
work and after several months q con-
sultation was held by which it was
agreed, with the approval of the gov
ernor. to name H E. Dean of Kansas
lily. one VI the commission, secretary
His pay was fixed at $40 a week. While
it has been held that the arrangement
saved the state money by enabling a
commission member to be constantly
on the job. the legality of the act was
attacked by Senator Davis OF Bour-
bon county, and all further appropria-
lions have been held up. The matter
was finally referred back to Governor
Capper and the members of the COM
mission with the result Of the recon-
mendation incorporated in the new
Denton hill
