RESTRICT OWNERSHIP
Bryan Comes Out With Plan To Ham
die the Rail Situation.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Restriction OF
government ownership of railroads
and trunk lines that will reach all
parts of the country was advocated
By William j. Bryan before the rivers
and harbors congress today.
Bryan said that such a plan would
give every state an outlet for its prod
ucts without prejudice and by COM
petition would regulate rates all over
the country.
such a system would effectively
regulate interstate commerce." Bryan
said, land yet would cost but small
sum compared with the naturalization
of all railroads. With a bonded debt
of sixteen billions, which may rise to
S25,000, 100000, the people would
hardly be willing to add twenty bill
lions more to pay for all the railroads.
The system 1 propose would also meet
the objections made to the esta blish-
ment of a gigantic bureau at Washing
ton with all its political possibilities.
This plan with the government
trunk lines open to all would make
each state independent in regard to
the roads within it's borders. The gov
eminent can easily enter into this par
tial naturalization by appointing a
committee to investigate its advisa-
bility and reporting before the time for
roads to be returned"

Bill in House To Return to
Barnyard Election Ballot.
Return of Rooster, Eagle, Don
key and Other Designs.
IT IS VOTE FER STRAIGHT, BOYS
An Aid to Men and Women OF
Limited Political Ideas.
Present Law Was Written in
1918 by State Democrats.

Plans to return to the barnyard and
livestock display, the circle aid other
emblems on the general election bal
lot, were proposed today in a bill in
the house hopper by Hawk, of Harvey
county. The bill would restore to the
election ballot the old. familiar rooster
and eagle and donkey and other bat
tie designs of political organizations.
Hawks bill proposes a return to the
old ballot system when the boys at
home voted 'er straight by one swlpe
of the lead pencil. The Hawk bill is
similar to the Mack bill of two years
ago, which was defeated after a hard
legislative fight in which Governor
Capper took stack of chips and made
u personal appeal to the legislators.
Under the provisions of the Hawk
measure all of the general provisions
of the former ballot law would be
to aid the man and woman who have
a general idea as to the party organi-
zation which they wish to support
but because of limited educational
advantages are hopelessly lost in MAX
ing a ballot where party designations
are merely printed and the voter is
not aided by a page from the comic
section. Under the Hawk bill the
voter is permitted to register a
straight party vote without registering
in the square opposite the name of
each candidate whom he desires to
support.
Democrats Did 1t In 1918.
The present ballot law was written
in 1913, when the Democrats were in
control. Some wise Democrat figured
that all ignorant voters were in the
Republican party and the law was
passed with a hope that the Bour-
bons might retain the power which
they had won in the state. The next
year the Democrats lost the governor
ship and the house and in 1916 yielded
the senate to the Republicans.
Much of the opposition to the pres
ent ballot law, however. has come
from the Republicans In an effort
to restore straight party voting in
Kansas, an effort will be made to
push the Hawk bill to passage at the
present session.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Nevada with
it's celebrated Reno, ran true to form
during the war, according to General
Crowder's draft figures. 1t had the
smallest percentage of married men
registered for the draft.
Only 81 per cent of the men who
signed up there were married, while
Georgia can boast of a record of So
per cent. And since nine out of every
ten married men were deferred. the
Reno judges seem to have performed
a patriotic service.
In the whole nation, Is per cent of
the registrants were married.
For the information of the matri-
monially inclined, General Crowder's
figures show a comparative shortage
of husbands in the far west, Montana,

field Four bills on third reading were
passed and then six ways and means
committee appropriation bills under
general orders were advanced to third
reading and put thru without waste of
time or oratory. The only one of the
ways and means bills that brought out
a discussion was the ole providing APP
preparations for the sanitarium at
Norton.
Some one questioned the use that
the institution had for more than fifty
employees when it had only about sixty
inmates. But the que& lion was not re-
peated when senators all over the
house showed a disposition to give the
tuberculosis sanitariun. all the back
ing it needed.
Walter E. Wilson, chairman of the
committee that recommended the APP
preparation, told OF the great work
that is being done and across the
house Schoch of Shawnee rose to his
feet and reac letter from Shawnee
county man who stated that he and
his sister had been cured at the in
stitution and that he hoped the legis-
Iature would be liberal with the in
stitution so that it might furnish aid
to more sufferers. In another part of
the house Whitney got up and eX-
planned that the institution was in
his district and that from personal
knowledge he could state there was
no loafing by employees at it. In still
another part of the house Milligan S
voice was 1ised in defense of the
AS a result the appropriations recon-
mended were pass.1 without further
question.
Seventeen New Bills.
A total of seventeen new bills was
introduced during the morning ses-
sion. One by Schoch provides that
he money used in paying for the
marking of highways be taken from
the general funds of the county rather
than from the pockets of private citi-
zens and another one by the Shawnee
senator provides for the payment of
township highway commissioners.
The Montee bill that would make
January 30. Kansas day. a legal holt
day, went into the hopper. and a bill
by the committee on agriculture pro-
vides for an increase of $500 a year
in the salary of the secretary of the
state board of agriculture and a Ike
increase for his two assistants. Under
the provisions of this bill the secre-
tary would receive $4,000 a year in
stead of $4,000. and his assistants
$4,000 instead of $4,000.
Senator Getty, of Wyandotte. intro
duced bill providing for change in
the collection of taxes which would
provide both a penalty and a rebate
feature. Under its provisions all those
who paid a full years taxes in De-
cember, would be given a per cent
rebate and all who failed to pay the
full years assessment would have to
pay penalty on the amount allowed
to run over until the following June.

BIG ROADS BACKBONE.
Hines Would Group Rails in Re-
eioual CORPORATIONS.


Washington, Feb. 6.-Director Cen
eral Hines today explained to the SEN
ate .sterstate commerce committee
that in re-grouping the railroads ac-
cording to his proposed permanent re-
gional organization under private
management he would include one or
two big systems as the backbone for
each group. This. grouping would
have to be determined by some gov
ornamental tribunal, not by congress,
and in general he regarded it as un-
wise to divide big existing systems
For example, Mr.. Hines suggested
that one regional corporation be
formed with the New York Central
and New England systems and smaller
lines naturally grouping with them,
and another of the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore & Ohio with smaller
roads now physically associated with
them.
In this way he said six or more re-
gional corpora lions would be created
turnout the country with more uni
form strength than a multitude of
smaller companies.
State commissions should be used to
large extent, he said, in determining
local rates.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair IN
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaH. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance or
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy to man
age
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. ana a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Altho future gem

ing to Harry H. Merrick. president of
the Chicago Association of Commerce.

THE government is asking the bust
ness men to shoulder a pretty heavy
burden" said Merrick. They are
willing to do all they can now. just as
they did in helping win the war. but
the question is. how far, in safety and
justice, can this be carried?
ANY scheme of taxation that re-
tards industry and impedes business
operations is faulty and dangerous"
Merrick proposed spreading the cost
of the war over long period and re-
ducing immediate taxation to a mini
mum. Excess profits and income
taxes, he asserted, may readily be car
ried to point where disaster to all
is involved and where industry and
commerce will be slowed down until
