LEGISLATURE IS
SPEEDING UP
Business Well Under Way, With
a Relatively Small Number
Of Bills In.

Topeka, Jan. 20.-Is this session Of
the Legislature to be known for is
speed rather than It's speechesf
Here are q few straws that may
, indicate the direction Of the legisla-
tive wind.
During the caucus Of the house Re
publicans last Monday night one Of
the members in nominating q candi-
date made long-winded speech that
created almost unanimous disapprOval
Of the other members.
Calendar Not Long
The house calendar Of the present
session shows that fifty-fve house
bills have been introduced. The jour
nal of the 1917 house shows that six
ty-four were the total introduced in
the corresponding length Of time.
Many members Of the house have
asserted that they have no bills to in
troduce, and in the committee Of the
whole probably will vote oftener to
kill bills than they will to recommend
them for passage.
D. A. N. Chase, speaker pro tenn, as
well as Speaker w. P. Lambertson,
has repeatedly declared that he will
exert every effort to expedite the
work Of the house. The general SEN
timent yesterday seemed to be against
dilatory methods and long-winded
speeches.
There Has Been Talk Before
On the other hand, there nearly al
ways has been much talk Of short
session, at the beginning Of every ses-
sion. In the week just closed the
house adjourned Friday and the SEN
ate Thursday. Neither branch will
resume until 4 o'clock tomorrow at
ternoon. Not all Of the committees
have been named in the house.
The senate isn't going to play sec
ond fiddle as to speed. The senate
established a precedent by getting its
committee work started first day Of
the session. Its rules are all made.
Its employees are listed. And only
dynamite will wreck the senatorial
harmony.
The senate bills total forty-One.
Thus with less than 100 bills in the
hopper during the initial week, a long
awaited record for small number Of
bills has been established.
The taxpayer must form his own
conclusions as to whether or not this
will be a short session.

GDDO ROADS PLAN
Newspapers An Over the State
Give Space and Favorable
Editorials TO the
Project

Topeka, Jan. 20.-The big rOa'
building program Of the Kansas GOOt
Roads association, which was st
strongly indorsed by Arthur Capper
United States senatOr-elect, and Gov
Henry J. Allen. which proposes Al
amendment 10 the constitution so thai
the state may build q complete sys'
tenn Of hard roads, has met with m'
animous Endorsement from all sections
Of the state, according to ]. Franl
Smith, manager Of the association
The proposition, as outlined, contem'
plates the designating, building and
maintaining Of q complete system Of
permanent roads, TO be paid for from
the automobile license. It was sent
by Mr.. Smith TO every newspaper IN
the state, and almost every one Of
them published the story, many Of
them running the map showing the
tentative system and giving editorial
Endorsement Of the plan. The same
circular was sent to all commercial
clubs and where there was no club
Il was sent to the mayors Of the
towns. Mr.. Smiths mails have been
loaded for ten days with letters, re-
solutions and marked copies Of news
papers from all parts Of the state,
boosting for the state roads.
Lacks In Speed Only
So far, according to Mr.. Smith,
there has not been q knock against
the proposition. Almost every meet
ing Of farmers or tax payers or busi-
ness men Of every class TO which the
plan was explained, have endorsed It
unanimously. The greatest disap-
pOintment that is met is the fact that
Il will be two years before the peo-
pie can vote on the amendment and
three years before the roads can be
started under the plan. One booster
wrote in that he was now so yeras
old and unless the roads were built
soon he feared he would never live to
use them. He said he was unfortunate
in being born too soon to get the ben
efts Of the proposed good roads. One
member of the Kansas Legislature
made the same statement.
The plan to refund to the counties
townships and benefit districts the
cost or value of the roads taken over
by the state is boost 10 build them
now and use them as soon as possible.
Big Meeting Planned
The big road program of the state
is TO receive a thOrO analysis and in
dOrsement by the road boosters Of the
state in q big meeting to be held in
Topeka January %, at Memorial hall.
At this meeting every phase of the
proposition will be discussed and if
possible q definite Legislative program
for the session Of 1921 will be out
lined. Every commercial club or
chamber Of commerce in the state,
and every mayor in towns Of 1000 or
more where there are no commercial
clubs, have been requested to appoint
ten delegates to the meeting. Il is ex-
pected that at least, 1000 delegates
will be here.
In the evening joint meeting Of
the Kansas Official Council and Good
Roads association will be held at the
auditorium, where Governor Allen
will talk. Arthur r. Hall, Of Illinois,
will explain fully the plans as adopt
ed by that state at the recent elec-
ton.
