Topeka. Jan 26.-The commit
tee on temperance and hygiene Of
the house and senate, working in
conjunction with the attorney gen
eral completed a bill today to take
the place of all the other prohibi-
tory amendments This bill will
make Kansas as dry as Sahara
whenever it becomes effective. Here
is what it does
Prohibits any person having II
quor in his possession for personal
use or otherwise.
Prohibits any railroad or express
company carrying liquors.
Prohibits any person carrying II
quor by person or in any other con-
veyance.
Prohibits the transportation Of
liquor by motor car or wagon.
Prohibits the railroads or ex-
press companies delivering any IL
quor to any person.
Prohibits any persons accepting
or receiving any liquor for any
purpose
The penalty for any violation OF
the law is a fine up to five hundred
dollars or six months in Jail or
both
Officers are authorized to search
private homes whenever there IS
any suspicion that a bottle of bit
tiers is hid away in the closet for
emergencies,
AS there is a fat fee for every
conviction it is probable that a
systematic search of every house
will be made in some towns where
the county attorney wants to make
a little extra income.

Farm Loans for Schools

Kansas may become a farm loan
agent and loan the II million dol
lars in the school funds of the state
upon farms. The house passed bill
to permit this today. 1t was intro
duced by Representative Mayhem of
Atchison county and simply extends
the loaning powers of the state
school fund commission so that in
stead of limiting the investments to
Kansas municipal bonds, loans may
be made upon farm mortgages. The
loans cannot exceed so per cent of
the assessed value of the farm and
the interest rates cannot exceed 5
per cent. The borrower is required
to pay the expense of making up
the abstracts of title and pay the
recording costs. But there are no
commissions or other charges. The
attorney general certifies to the
form and title of the property own
err.
Another measure to repeal the
law allowing compromise tax sales
was introduced in the house yester-
day by the committee on assessment
and taxation.
An attempt to exempt the capital
stock Of loan and investment COM
panies from taxation is made by S.
H. Piper of Montgomery, in house
bill 449 The measure amends the
present statutes by cutting out loan
and investment companies.
No more personal bonds are to
be accepted from township treasur-
ers, according TO the provisions Of
house bill 4S3, by Taylor, of Wa
baunsee. The measure provides that
the county shall pay the premium
on bonds.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the
expenses of keeping open headquar-
tiers for the Spanish war veterans
is provided by house bill 442, by
Taylor, of Ford.

For New Constitution

A proposition to enable the peo-
pie of Kansas to decide for them
selves whether a constitutional con-
yention should be held is the way
Senator Robert B. Barr of Fort
Scott. summarizes senate concur
rent resolution No. 6, considered by
the senate today. Charles G. Mack,
of Newton, has the same measure
in the house.
"The constitution has outliyed its
usefulness, not altogether, but it IS
not in keeping with conditions to-
day." said Senator Barr
City Manager Bill
The Nighswonger city manager
bill is scheduled to be considered
by the senate as a special order to-
day. The measure was favorably re-
ported yesterday by the senate COM
mittee on federal and state affairs,
after amendments which revise al
most the entire bill had been made.
Discussion of the bill yesterday in
dicated that it was due for thor
ough "going over" but that it would
easily receive enough votes for pass
age. The disposition of the senate
seems to be favorable to a city man
ager bill and one that will prove
satisfactory from the first.
New Penal Institution
Keene has introduced a bill e
appropriate 100000 for the pur-
chase Of a farm of 160 acres, the
erection Of buildings, and the main
tenance of a woman's detention
home for the next two years. The
cottage plan is to be put in prac
tice in the institution. Not more
than twenty-five inmates are to b.
housed in any one cottage, and a
least four cottages. enough to &C
commodate 100 inmates. are 70 b

west Of the Kansas-Missouri line

CONGRESSIONAL MILLING

Congress has been backing and fill ing for month on the food admin istration bill, and now is about where it was when it started-Or perhaps not so far. It has reached a point af- ter running around in wide circle and hitting a tangent now and then, where it has called upon President Wilson to come tot her escue with some kind of compromise that will avoid further deadlock.
 The incident emphasizes the accur- ack of an observation recently made by Jonathan Bourne, jr., in which he said:
 "The debate on the food control bill has served to show the confusion, the inconsistency and the absurdity of war legislation which is drawn without sufficient attention to the su- bremen ccessity of cO-ordinating all the powers and activities of the gov ernment to the end of securing the widest possible efficiency and econo- my. not alone of money but of effort. /"
 The former senator calls attention to the fact that the act of congress which established the council of na- tional defense conferred upon that body functions which it has interpret ed as including the right for it's sub commit ittecs to enter upon negotla- tions, 70 agree upon prices, and to do everything in the making of con- tracts for the government except to attach the signatures which will

Would life be tolerable," MT. Kahn inquired, eff the power of the Prussian, run mad and murderous, held the world by the throat, if the primacy of the earth belonged to a government steeped in the doctrine of barbarous past and supported by a ruling caste which breaches the de- ification of sheer might, which dis pises liberty, hates democracy and would destroy both if it could?"
 Undoubtedly the great majority of Americans of German origin share these lofty sentiments of true Ameri- icanism and stand ready to throw their weight into the scales against "the enemies of mankind" the rul- ing Prussian caste.

make them valid. These validating signatures must be those of respon- sible cabinet officers, who, however, regard themselves privileged to up set anything which may have been done by the council in contravention of their individual notions. In conse- quence we find not only the council bu some of the secretaries acting at cross purposes but we see serious dissension among the secretaries themselves.
 "All this," he adds, "could be ob- viated if the country possessed some agency which could act as clearing house for proposed legislation, which would interpret the opinions of the ad- ministration to congress and those of congress to the administration, which could sift out and unify the various conflicting proposals for au- thority and appropriations, and which could also serve as a channel for communicating to the people the intentions and the action of both con- gress and the administration"
 Such an arrangement was propos- ed in the Weeks-Madden resolution. providing for a joint congressional committee, the majority of which would consist of democrats as repre- senting the majority in congress. Congress is said to be in favor Of 1t but the administration has not yet shownany desire to approve Of such an agency-and there is the rub.
 That some such small organization similar in a sense to the British war council-must inevitably be formed if the war continues for long period of time is the growing opinion among observers at Washing ton.
