and merely paid them their actual ex-
penses while in Topeka
Rooms Scarce. Prices High.
The housing problems have been so
bad here this winter on account OF
the war conditions that have held up
building and that have caused many
families to close their homes and live
in apartments, or board, that members
of the legislature who did not make
special trip to Topeka to arrange for
quarters in advance had to take any
thing they could find with a roof over
it in many instances Some of the
members of the house even suggested
that they would be willing to live in
the S. A T. c. barracks at Washburn
college.
One member of the senate said to-
day:
II do not know how rapidly Topeka
is growing or how much of the hous-
ing problem is due to the influx OF
legislators. but I do know l have never
found it so hard to obtain living quar-
tiers in this city. I certainly believe
there is a big demand here for apart
ment houses of the three and four
room kind and from the prices l un-
derstand apartment house owners are
asking, 1 believe it would be possible
to build such houses and pay for them
in a few wears"

Legislators Have Trouble Find

High Prices, Scarcity of Rooms
Hit POcketbOoks of SOIOns.

The members of the Kansas legis-
lature would be better off if they did
not receive a cent of pay and if the
state merely paid their railroad fares
and living expenses while they are in
Topeka, Senator w. S. Thompson, of
Hutchinson, believes.
While Senator Thompson has no de-
sire to flirt with trouble by getting
behind fight to increase the pay
of the members of the legislature or to
change the present system into a
gratis bed and board proposition, he
is in accord with practically every
member in the assertion that coming
to the Legislature is a losing PROPOSE
ton, and that being a member of the
senate is a luxury that requires money.
Cites Missouri Plan.
A bill has been introduced in the
Missouri legislature providing for the
erection of buildings in which the
members of the two houses may make
their homes while in Jefferson City.
Missouri also has a restaurant in her
new capitol building where the mem
bers of the legislature may get their
meals.
Whether or not such a plan would
be acceptable to the members of the
Kansas legislature is a question, but
there is no doubt they void go home
with fatter bank accounts If the state
did not pay them a cent for their time

FLU TAKES A SLUMP
Only Sixteen Cases Reported Up TO
O'clock This Afternoon.

AT o'clock today a report of six
teen new cases of influenza indicated
that the disease is not running as
strong as it did on several other days
this week.
Many complaints have come into the
public health office on account of the
partial restrictions laid down for chill
dren, but Doctor Clark, city health
officer, says that it will be far better
in the long run to deprive them of a
few pleasures than to allow them to
run the possible risk of getting the in
fiuenZa.
AS the reports for the past week
have shown the prevalence of new
cases to be among school children and
mostly on the west side, it isSfelt that
the restrictions will prove effective in
checking the disease in that locality
