al Secretary Of the International Sun

in the business world. The last
business in which he engaged was
that of fire insurance, and this he
sold to engage in the "Soul Insur
ance" and Character Conservation"

Sunday School Association. He lost
money by the change, but found his
life work.

ty ON the subject of fire insurance.

a position of apparently lesser im-
portance and possibilities has to
developed his capabilities that he is
now a recognized authority on all
matters pertaining to the Sunday

WOULD GIVE ROADS BACK
Security Owners Representative Gives
Plan for Handling Rail Bill.

Washington, Jan. els. Davies
Warfield, president of the National AS
ISOLATION of Owners of Railroad Secur-
titles. gave the senate interstate COM
merce committee today the security
holders view of the railroad problem.
He urged that the roads be returned
to private operation as early as prac-
ticable with legislation insuring a fixed
return on property in investments,
saying. THE results of federal con-
troll and operation thus far obtained
cannot give comfort to advocates of
government ownership"
Mr.. Warfield. who said he repre-
sented thirty million persons owning
or interested in railroad securities,
proposed a comprehensive plan for
administering railroads under govern
ment supervision,> involving profit
sharing among employees: creation of a
federal corporation to assist in financ
ing railroads and to supervise unifica-
ton of facilities and reroutinc of traf-
fic; arbitration of labor disputes, con-
troll of future security issues by the
interstate commerce commission and
retention of state commissions. He
opposed the plan for creating a de-
partment of railroads with a cabinet
officer at its head.

PUSH BILLS THRU
Several Appropriation Measures
Passed by Senate.
Winfield Institution Is Given
$4,000 a Year.
ATCHISON HOME GOT S1O2, 500
Then Scion Takes Up Weighty
Dog License Problem.
They Also Vote To Poison
Kansas Prairie Dogs.

Appropriation measures of the ways
and means committee took up most of
the time of the Kansas senate during
its morning session today. Five new
appropriation measures were put into
the hopper by Chairman Walter E.
Wilson and the first batch was passed
on third reading.
OF the new measures put in this
morning, the most important were APP
propriaiions for the Orphans home at
Atchison and for the home for feeble
minded at Winfield. The home for
the feeble-rninded is allowed SGT, 900
for each of the years of 1920 and 1871
for salaries and wages and $4,000
each year for maintenance and re-
pairs. Governor Capper had asked for
$4,000 for maintenance and repairs
for 1920. The Orphans home at
Atchison is given s22,500 a year for
salaries and wages and $4,000 for
maintenance and repairs for 1913.
1920 and 1921. OF this $4,000 will be
available this year.
Two ways and means appropria-
tions that were on todays calendar
on third reading were passed and four
that were on the calendar under gen.
eral orders were advanced to third
reading and started to the house for
approval
After disposing of its ways and
means bills the senate resolved itself
into a committee of the whole and
INDUCED in little horse play that
somewhat resembled dog scrap. A
bill that had been introduced by Sem
ator Hickey to abolish the dog tax
was taken up for consideration by the
whole senate and a number of the
members started to make a baseball
out of it, SO that they could have some
| fun. Senator Nixon, however, plead
| for seriousness and urged that the
| dog tax should be allowed to remain
| on the statute books as an encourage
| ment to sheep growers. Getty OF
| Wyandotte intimated that Kansas City
Kan, is particularly fond of dogs and
/ that it does not want dog tax. He
| said he would be perfectly willing tC
/ have the dog taxed out of the rural
! districts of the state but that he was
| most emphatically opposed to driving
| the dogs out of the cities. Senator
| Doerr came TO the aid of Senator Nix
on and it was finally agreed to refer
the Hickey bill back to the committee
on agriculture for further considera.
ton.
Would Poison Prairie Dogs.
After the dog tax bill came the prai-
RE dog poisoning bill introduced by
4 Senator Hart. This bill also received
Considerable attention but it was final
ly recommended that it be passed.
Several bills relating to cities
of the first class and providing new
park and street laws were introduced
by Senator Nighswonger and another
