gallery it will not only be necessary to
lower the first floor and the balcony,
but it will be necessary to raise the
ceiling. That will necessitate some
additional brick and stone work on
the walls.
Except for the increase in the size
and height of the outside walls all of
the new work to be done in the audi
torium will be of fireproof cOnstruc-
ton-concrete and steel One of the
biggest items of cost mentioned by
Mr.. Holland in his explanation was
the steel work.
His plan is to use all of the chairs
in use at present in the balcony and
gallery and to place new seats in the
lower section. The present seats are
nineteen inches wide. He recon-
mended that the new seats be reduced
one inch.
First Get the Bonds.
Before anything definite can be
done toward the remodeIing of the
auditorium it will be necessary, first:
to secure the signatures of twenty
five per cent of the vote cast at the
last election, calling for bond cleo
ton. Then it will be necessary to
hold the election and carry it,. Those
are matter the committee will take
up with the city officials at a meeting
to be held soon.
At today's meeting there was no
fault whatever to find with the Hol-
land plans Numerous questions were
asked and Mr.. Holland took over an
hour explaining every detail The
directors of the club. apparently, were
satisfied that the plans fill all re-
quirements.
Il have this much to say about
this plan" said Mr.. Holland, IF you
adopt it and a building is constructed
along this line you will have the
equivalent in every way of a new
building costing 100000"
The directors came to no agree
ment as to the amount of the bond
issue to be asked for. While Mr..
Holland expressed himself as certain
that 100000 would cover every item
connected with the construction.
several members suggested that in
order to cover increases in the cost
of building material, possible acct
dents and delays, it might be wise to
ask for S65. 900. That matter was left
undecided.

for $4,000 year clear revenue from
the oil department. Yet the revenues
exceeded even the hopes of the state
auditor.
All of the $4,000 a year received
from the inspection of oil went to the
general revenue fund OF the state. 1t
was used for paying the general ex-
penSeS of the state. Expenses of the
legislative appropriation-just as will
be done until the legislature provides
for a new inspection fee.
All Loop Holes Plugged.
while the legislature probabl
would not pass an inspection act with
out providing for an inspection fee"
said Justice Burch in his opinion, the
action of the legislature Of 1915 clear
ly demonstrates that the present law
would be continued in force without
the provision for an inspection fee of
ten cents Consequently, no occasion
exists for declining to execute any
provision of the law except the one
held to be void and those subsidiary
provisions which depend upon it."
In short, the work of inspecting oil
and gasoline must go right along. The
desires and wishes of the individuals
and persons connected with the state
administration do not affect results.
Possibly the supreme court antici-
pated the move of the state admins
tration in accepting aims from the
StdIQaru OlI company WHen IL pToNlu-
ed that no fees may be accepted by the
state until the legislature makes - .
vision for the collection of fees.
THE statute did not provide for the
payment of a reasonable fee, said
the court in its opinion, land no Off
Ger of the state had authority to az
cept less than the statutory fee if
rendered. There being no valid law
for the collection of any sum as an
inspection fee. the state has no right
to retain the funds Indicated
Thus the court made clear that in
spection expenses must be borne from
the annual appropriation of S14, 100
for the oil department. Then, thai
there might be no doubt about it, all
ioop-holeS were apparently plugged
and the state administration was left
to sorrow alone and do its own wor-
rNins about taxes and eXpenses.

Supreme Court Stopped Every
Avenue of Escape.
IT CANNOT PASS THE HAT

Kansas will and must continue to
inspect oil and gasoline. What is
more. it will probably be impossible
under the decision of the state SUI
preme court in the oil inspection case,
to receive or accept contributions or
voluntary fees from the Standard Oil
company or other corporations. Fail
ure to observe the oil inspection law
will. under the ruling of the court,
subject both state inspectors and
dealers TO criminal prosecution.
4ClOSe inspection of the supreme
court decision in the oil inspection
case today upset the plan of the state
administration to recoup some of its
losses through the establishment of
voluntary fees and contributions by
the oil companies. When the court
upset the fee of ten cents a barrel
holding the measure a strictly revenue
producing act-it also provided that
no other fees can be accepted. 1t then
went further and provided that the
state must go right ahead with the
work of inspecting oil and that the
bills must be paid from the appropri-
ations by the 1915 legislature.
Just at this time the state adrai----
tration faces not only the complete
loss of the $4,000 a year from the
oil inspection department. but faces
contests concerning grain fees, the
moving picture censorship fees and
tomobile license fees. 1t is the most
serious financial crisis presented to
the state in several years. Loss of
some of these measures will doubtless
mean an increase in the state tax levy
next fall. That is not all. Since the
state budgets included these fees in
the years revenues. it m&y become
necessary to stamp state warrants

Must Stay on the job.
There is not the slightest doubt
among legal authorities that the state
must continue its inspection of oil and
gasoline The original act remains
just as written-except as TO the rev.
enue measure. 1t provided that per-
sons selling. uninspected oil, are sub
ject to criminal prosecution. On the
other hand, the law makes mandatory
that the oil Inspector stay right on the
job and provides a penalty where he
is derelict. a
That the state regarded the oil in
spection act as u revenue measure
was indicated in every finding of the
supreme court. The opinion, written
by Justice Rosseau A. Burch. points
to the fact that the biennial report of
