In the meantime kilograms urging

arrive in large numbers. Most of

Copies of these were sent to the rail

NEW FRANCHISE LAW
Kansas Public Service Men Vote for
1917 Legislation.

After the address last night by Prof.
F. w. Blackmar, of the State univer-
sity, on the 'Indeterminate Fran
chise,'' the public service men, en-
thusiastic over the plan outlined by
the K U. economist, voted that the
president of the association appoint a
committee to draft law providing
for the granting of the lndeterminate
or revocable franchises to the public
service corporations of the state, and
submit it to the incoming legislature.
Such a measure would give to the
companies operating under it, a fran
ehise which would continue as long as
the corporation gave acceptable serv-
ice, and when it's service become poor
or it's charges exorbitant could be
annulled.
Professor Blackmar pointed out that
both the patrons and the corporations
themselves would benefit and be pro-
tected by such a law, inaSmuch as the
patron would have the power to abol-
ish the corporation if the latter do not
deliver the goods,' whereas as long
as the company makes good, it need
not fear the expiration of it's right to
do business.
Officers were elected for the com
ing year as follows: w. r. Waggoner,
of Salina, president; c. L. Brown. of
Abilene, first vice president: Otto
Theis, of Dodge City, second vice presi-
dent H. L. Jackman, of Minneapolis,
third vice president. The secretary
and treasurer are appointed by the
executive committee.

CHANCE FOR OLD BOYS
Chicago Manufacturers to Demon

Chicago, Dec. S.-Ten thousand
men between As and IS are to be put
into Chicago factories to be pitted
against youths to test the theory that
heap of industry.
Benjamin J. Rosentha1 and fifteen
Chicago capitalists have agreed to
give the "old boys chance to make
good and men over As will be taken
into the factories of these manufac-

Employers have been measuring
efficiency by age,' Rosenthal said to-
