MAY TAKE HIS WHEAT
German Farmer Near Wellington Has
| Never Bought a Bond.

Wellington, Kan, Oct. S.-Louis
Schlobohm, well-to-do German
farmer living a few miles north of this
place. has been arrested for making
an attack on a team of liberty loan
canvassers who called to get his SUBJ
scription to bonds. Schlobohm had
refused to subscribe for any of the
former loans, but this time his neigh
bors decided he must come across.
During the argument, Sch1obohm
seized a monkey-wrench and made for
one OF the canvassers, inflicting
slight injury.
1t was discovered that Schlobohm
has never taken out naturalization pa
pers, and also had failed to register
as an enemy alien. He has a large
amount of wheat on hand, which his
neighbors propose to haul to town and
sell, investing the proceeds in liberty
bonds.

ABOLISH THE P. U. C.
State Auditor Also Urges Cutting
Down of State Boards.

F. W. Knapp, state auditor, in his
biennial report TO the Kansas legisla-
ture, just completed, asks that the leg
islature remove the Kansas board OF
administration leaving in it's place
only the business manager to handle
all of the business affairs of the state
institutions. The auditor commends
the step of the last legislature in con-
sclidating all the boards in the control
of the twenty-seven institutions into
one board with a business manager,
and now he believes the special board
should be abolished and a board con-
sisting of present state officials to act
in an advisory capacity with the bust
ness manager should be created.
The auditor would also abolish the
present public utilities commission and
have appointed a single commissioner
to hold supervisory powers over the
utilities in the cities, since the gov
eminent has taken over most of the
control of the railroads, telegraph and
telephone properties He would also
abolish the state accountant and give
the auditor additional help to do this
work.
