729 Horn st. Topeka, Kansas,
Gentlemen; Your communica-
ton Of March goth, giving notice Of
your desire to revise present wage
schedules and agreements accord
Ing to certain proposals made q part
Of that notice, has this day been re-
ceiyod.
Your proposition applies to the
Atchlson. Topeka q Santa Fe Rail-
way Company and leased lines, Pan
handle & Santa Fe Railway Company
and Rio Grandc, III Paso q Santa Fe
railroad Company.
The present standard Of rates and
working conditions have been very
largely fixed by mediation and arbl-
tration and these companies feel
that they are adequate and even lib
cral to the employees. These compan-
les have no desire to change either
the existing rates Of pay On the work
ing rules. nor reduce the earning
possibilities Of the employees under
their existing rules, but In as much
as your proposals contemplate fun
damcntal changes In operating moth
DDS and practices on which the schc-
dulles have been built mp, these COM
panlcs hereby give notice In confor-
nifty with the schedules now In ef-
feet that 10 connection with and as
% part OF the consideration and dis
position of your proposal there shall
be open for consideration and dlHpos-
itIon those provisions IN tho gchc-
dulles or practices hereunder govern
ing compensation 10 the classes Of
service affected by your proposals or
those In conflict with the following
principles as they apply In such
clasHes
Cal No double compensation for

tb) The same classification for the
purpose Of compensation to be APP
piled tn all members Of a train and

by these proposed amendments shall
remain unchanged, subject to change
in the future by negotiating with the
proper officials and committees as
has been the case In the past.
II is our request that all lines or
divisions OF railway operated or con-
trolled by the Atchlson. Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad shall be included In
these negotiations and that any agree
ment reached shall apply alike to all
such lines OF railway. It Is TO be I'M
derstood that any settlement OF these
questions that may be agreed upon
by this cooperative movement viii
not become effective on roads where

Playing Politics With the Boards

TWO of the independent executive boards
Of the city government will go out Of
existence tomorrow, while another. similar
in composition and in scope, will remain in
full force and virtue This combination Of
abolition and retention supplies one of the
most striking-and, possibly. amusing-in-
stances of playing politics that the city has
had since reform methods first began to
make Roadway in municipal affairs.
1t is possible that the amusing feature OF
this log-rolled legislation will become dis
turbing factor in the welfare of the city, for
one of the boards thrown overheard. so to
speak, is that which controlled the Health
Department ,vth conspicuous success for
number OF years ii under the scientific
government of the Administrative Board.
which is now charged with the duty of con-
serving the public health, the city's Health
Department loses any of that efficiency which
has made 1t model for the country the
humor of the situation will be lost on the
voters-and their wives. AS matter Of
serious fact, there was no reason for abolish.
ing the Board Of Health. and every reason
for continuing it.
For the Board OF Police Commissioners,
few had word Of good to say. There never
was valid reason for its existence All its
duties could much better be performed by
one capable man than by any body Of men,
no matter how capable the individual mem
bers Of that body might be. and the division
of authority and responsibility for the man
agement OF the semimilitary force under its
control seriously impeded the discipline and
efficiency of that force.
The Mayor will have sole charge of the
police force; he will not inherit SO to speak
any Of the boards appointments. but the city
VIII look to him for the intelligent and fear
less administration of police affairs
TO the Board of Fire Commissioners many
OF the same reasons apply. While the Fire
