That portion Of the states fire pre-
Vention act seeking to compel theater
owners to wire tfeaters In conform
ity with the national electrical CODE
was stricken out by the state supreme
court in a decision handed down re-
Gently. It held that the state Iegisla-
ture is not empowered to make oblig-
atory rules of that nature, concerning
the management or care of property
or to make the breach of such a reg
u1ation a penal offense. The court
sustained a demurrer to the states
complaint in a suit brought against L.
n. and Roy Crawford of Topeka, up
holding the decision in the lower
court.
The supreme court held in the Dick
inson County case, Fred L. Eames VS..
Frank Clark, that a pedestrian has
equal rights with am automobile on a
public highway, reversing the decision
Of the lower court a son Of Eames
was killed by car driven by Clark.
The court held, however, that it is
good judgment for the pedestrian to
move into the Weeds in case the
highway is narrow.

John Fields. editor of the Oklahoma
Farmer, told the Kansas farmers at
the fOrty-eighth annual meeting Of the
board of agriculture that If they stop
trying to grow corn where corn didn't
want to grow, and would plant crops
suitable to the climatic conditions and
soil, they would have had more money
during the war than had been invested
in Liberty Bonds by the people of the
state. He pointed out that Kansas
farmers had lost 164 million dollars
during the last two years trying to
grow corn in a region where corn was
well known to be an uncertain crop.

S. T. Howe, chairman Of the Kansas
Tax Commission since its organIza-
ton, told the members of-the Kansas
State Board Of Agriculture, in session
at Topeka, that Kansas needed a 1919
model constitution in order to make
the fundamental law of the state har-
monte with modern social conditions
Mr.. Howe pointed out the frailties of
the old taxation system Of the state,
part of which has long been a nulity
and most of it full of Inequalities
and Determinations resulting in tax
lodging and the loss of millions from
the tax rolls every year. Mr.. Howe
said: 1.-THE present process of chang
ing the fundamental law is exceeding
ly slow, and a long time will of neces-
sity be required to make the much
needed changes. 1t seems very clear
that constitutional convention in
Kansas is needed, not to revise the
whole constitution, but to proceed as
some of the other states have done,
to submit amendments to change all
the sections Of the constitution which
the present day situation demands, so
that they may be all voted on at one
time by the people, who will then have
the opportunity to approve or disap-
prove of any or all of them"

The chief items in the plans of the
Kansas Highway Commission for ex-
tensive good roads work in the state
is the constitutional amendment which
will permit the state to aid in road
building. The commission has sub
mitted its legislative program. en-
bodying some minor changes in the
road and bridge laws, and urging as
an absolute necessity the change in
the constitution. II is pointed out that
only Kansas, North Carolina, Georgia
and Florida are not permitted to aid
in road building by their constitutions,
these being the four most unprogres-
sive states in the country in the mat
ter of road building. The commission
believes motor transportation will
stop the building of electric lines in
Kansas and the commission wants the
legislature to provide for some protec-
ton against damage to the highways
by the trucks. 1t urges a limitation
on the weight to be carried by the
trucks on different widths of tires.
