TO ASK MORE, PAY
Constitutional Amendment for
Members of Legislature.
Raise Salary From So Day to
$500 in 2 Years.
TO Be CONSIDERED WEDNESDAY
All Constitutional Questions
Come Up at That Time.
Means Increase of $3.50 to Sem
atOrs, Representatives.

Representative Woodland today Of
fered a concurrent resolution provid-
ing for an increase in the pay of leg
islative members. Woodlands proposal
is for a salary Of $500 for the two
year term of house and senate men,
bers instead of the present constitu-
tional pay of SO day for not more
than fifty days served during anS
regular or special session.
The plan of Woodland to amend the
state constitution was presented in the
house this morning and will be con-
sidered by the house judiciary COM
nittee. 1t is practically certain that
the proposed change in the state con-
situation will be considered next We'd
nesday when all constitutional ques-
tons will be called up under a special
order.
Woodard's proposition is to amend
the present provisions of the state
constitution enabling members of both
legislative bodies to receive a salary
of $500 year during the years when
legislative sessions are held and 5000
a year during the off years. Where
a special session is called in the even
years the legislator would receive $500
for his two years service. No pro-
vision is made in the resolution as to
the period in which the legislature
shall be in session or the number of
sessions which might be held in a
single year. Each law maker would
merely be paid on an annual salary
basis and a special session would not
add to the expense except for mileag e,
extra clerk hire and general Legislative
expenses.
Ten Cents n Mile.
Under terms of the Woodland resolu-
ton each member would receive 10
cents a mile for travelling both to To-
peka and home when called for a
regular or special session of the legis-
lature. No other return, except such
money as might be voted by the house
and senate for postage, telephone and
telegraph expense, is provided outside
the salary and mileage. If a specia,
session were called in an off yea1
when the regular session was held. nc
extra salary would go to the member
If the extra session were called in ar
even year, the member would receive

Among the reasons assigned for their
failure were no credit and no free de-
livery. Possibly. also. their competi-
tors started story that the company
was profiteering at the expense of its
employees, the untruth of which prob
ably would have been Immediately ap-
parent upon a comparison of prices.
Experiments in cooperative merchan-
dising show that the American public
does not warm up to the idea. 1t is a
curious fact that while cooperative
stores flourish in some countries. they
have never succeeded extensively
here. When one considers the con-
slant outcry against the grocer and
butcher, says Leslie's, it is rather
strange that cooperative efforts, di-
rected against the exorbitant charges
of the corner grocery and meat shop
have always failed.

Many of the contractors and build
ers in the central west assert freight
rates are the chief obstacle in the way
of construction activity. Typical of
these arguments is the following from
Greenville, Ohio: I'VE have no COM
plant to make in the matter of OBJ
tanning credits. building materials and
labor. 1t is true that wages are high
and yet not prohibitive. The greatest
detriment to our industry thru the
central west is prohibitive' freight
rates on sand and gravel. It is not
only threatening to destroy our indus
try but at the same time 1t is imped-
ing highway construction and other
building projects which demand high
grade of these basic materials" Here
is afforded an opportunity for Direc-
tor General Hines to do something for
his country.

In March of 1916 the marlborough
Rapid Transit company of New York
City started a chain of cooperative
stores to lower the cost of living for
its employees. After less than two
years experience it has been compelled
to acknowledge failure of the scheme,
and to auction to the highest bidder
stocks of goods to the value of $780,
900. The stores sold the highest grade
of foodstuffs, and altho they conduct
ed demonstrations-show quality was
superior and cost less than for SINH
lar lines of goods at local stores the
employees couldn't be induced to pa
tronize them in sufficient numbers to
make the cooperative effort pay.

BIG YEAR AHEAD

Chicago, Feb. 2o.-After four lean
years. circus men see in 1919 a sea-
son of plenty.
With all handicaps removed, the
'razorbacks," acrobats, cooks and
transportation experts are back on the
Job after a booking in khaki or blue.
w. ID. Hildreth, secretary of the Show
mans League of America. said today
he expects business to be big.
"Only half the big shows will go on
the road. The others disbanded dur
ing the war. With the country in the
showgoing mood after perio7 of war
tension it looks like good business for
those Who take out the big tops" said
Hildreth.
Canada, visited by only one out
door show last year. is starving for a
smell of the sawdust." said Hildreth.
Members of the American Associa-
ton of Fairs and Expeditions, in con-

Girls From Olathe School for Deaf
Entertain State Senate.

The Kansas senate was given a rare
treat this afternoon when it's members
enjoyed the privilege of watching three
young ladies from the Olathe school
for the deaf sing America with their
hands.
The graduating class of the Olathe
school was brought to Topeka to see
the state legislature in session and was
brought on the senate floor by former
Governor Hoch. The superintendent
Of the school explained that it was
merely an educational trip and that
it was not made for the purpose of
aiding in getting an appropriation.
The superintendent then explained
that the scholars at the school for the
deaf can do everything with their
hands other people do with their lips,
including singing, praying and ''cuss-
ing" when the occasion demands it.
She explained that it takes very little
knowledge of their language to tell
when they are praying and when they
are "cussing." Then she asked if the

ALLEN TO BANKERS
Governor in Plea TO Convention for
Agricultural Development.

In speech before the Kansas State
Bankers association at Memorial hall
this afternoon, Governor Allen, Just
back from Washington, where he ap-
peared before the congressional in
vestigating committee concel ming the
Argonne battle, told the visiting bank
ers of the advantages of a farm ten
antry law in Kansas. He said that SO
per cent of the farm acreage in Kan
sas was under rental and pointed out
the need of state aid to the tenants.
The governor made a plea for tax
alton equalization, for the removal of
taxation of mortgages, for a different
classification of property for taxation
that Improvements might be exempt
and for a revolving fund along the
building and loan plan to be handled
by the state that returning soldiers
and homeseekers might engage in ag-
ricultural pursuits,
There are opportunities for 100, 900
twenty to fifty acre farms in Kansas
today" Governor Allen stated. ITO
create this thrift the larger agricul-
tural development and industries
would not be disturbed"

Afterward, the correspondent talked
with many other men in the ranks

showed that the food was better than

When Brest was first taken over as
an Am erican base there was a ter
rifle struggle under frightful difficult
ties to get million men thru this an
gent, unmoderlized port at a time
when the only thing intolerable was
delay. The problem now is that of

men home again with spirits intact,
while tolerance for delay is not much
greater than it was before.
This is being accomplished despite
hopelessly inadequate facilities-un-
less the figures given above are dis
puted.

The REPRESENTATIVES of the existing
Russian government who will meet
our American representatives in the
Marmora conference will find in them
more or less kindred spirits. These
delegates are Prof Geo. d. Heron
and our own William Allen White of
Emporia. Mr. White has not yet
reached the highest rung of the Boil
shevist ladder, publicly at least, but
one has but to read his latest book
to reach the conclusion that it was de-
signed to be a contribution to the So
eialist propaganda with which the
country at present is flooded. But
from his writings, is in complete ac-
cord with the doctrines of the Boil
sheviki. free love and all. One of his
most recent public utterances runs
like this: ''It is 1lreaT- too late to re-
form society in America. 1t is nc
longer question whether you will
have a socialistic revolution. 1t is only
left to you to ecide what kind of q
revolution you will hava.'' If the peo-
pie of the United States had anything
to say about it, it is improbable thai
they would be willing to be represent
ed at the conferences by a man holding
these views. But in the light of what
week possibly it may be regarded as
unsafe to send any other kind of mer
to the Marmora conference.
