ALL VOTERS MUST REGISTER
Lists in All First and Second Class
Cities AnnuIIed by the Re-
cent Legislation.

Legally qualified voters in all first
and second class cities Of Kansas must
register before July % this year if
they expect to vote at the primary
and general election. Both special and
general legislation enacted by the spe-
cial session OF the Kansas legislature
make a clean sweep Of all previous
registrations IN these cities and pro-
Vides for a new deal all round
The re-registration is intended to
straighten up the voting lists and also
to get rid OF a number Of alien Yot-
ers who got on the registration books
before the 1913 legislature passed the
law requiring foreigners to take out
their second papers before being eligi-
bic to vote. Under the old law am
alien could vote as soon as he took
out his first papers.
The measure passed by the special
session of the Kansas legislature is
specific in its requirements and &C
cording TO lawyers leaves no loophole
you have to register If you want to
vote and if you can't register you can
not support the candidates you favor
at the poles.

SENATE PASSES
RAILROAD BILL
Conference Report on Cummins
Esch Measure Adopted in
Short Order.
THE VOTE WAS NEARLY 3 TO /
Senators of Both Parties Severely
Criticised Opposition of Union la
Dor to Terms Of Bill.

Washington.-By a vote of A to II
the senate adopted the conference re-
port on the Cummins-Esch rail bill,
concGrring in the action OF the house.
The measure was sent to President
Wilson at once.
The action of the senate recently
was taken after surprisingly brief de-
bate in which senators of both parties
we're unanimous in assailing the eff
forts OF organized labor to prevent
passage of the bill. Senators opposed
to the measure, realizing its passage
was inevitable, confined their efforts
to short explanations of their reasons
for voting mo- and made 40 attempt
to prolong the fight.
Bill = Lesser Evil" to Some.
Opposition TO the measure conferred
almost exclusively upon the so-called
51z per cent guaranteed return. Many
of the speeches were made by sena-
tors who had formerly opposed the
bill, explaining why they felt impelled
to support the conference report. The
general burden of their remarks was
that they had to choose between re-
turn Of the roads without any legis-
lation, which might produce panic,
and acceptance OF a bill which was a
lesser evil
Senator Cummins OF Iowa, chairman
OF the interstate commerce commit
tee, opened the discussion with a
speech explaining the action Of the
conferees. He insisted that the So
called guarantee clause had been the
subject Of "the grossest misrepresen-
tation" by the critics of the measure.
at has been termed a guaranty OF
income" said Senator Cummins- ''This
is not true in any sense of the phrase.
Not a dollar is to be paid from the
treasury on account of its provisions
and no obligation whatever on the
part of the government is created"
Leaves "AII Men Free"
Senator Cummins then explained
the labor provisions of the bill and
said:
with respect to the labor provi-
sions Of the conference report, am
utterly unable to understand the oppO-
sition which they have aroused among
labor leaders, for they leave all men
free, whether employees or employers,
to do whatsoever they please at any
time, at any place, or under any cir
cumstances. All that / can say of
them is that they are the best we
could devise under the conditions
which which confronted US"

TRAINING PLAN
LOSES IN HOUSE
Committee Votes Against UnI-
VersaI Military Service in
Reorganization Bill.
THE PEACE TINE ARMY BIGGER
Regular Force Will Consist of SOC, 900
Opposition is Expected.

WaShington.-With the temporary
disposal of universal training, the
house military committee voted, 10 to
s, to report the army reorganization
bill, providing for a maximum peace
time army of 1900 officers and two
hundred and ninety-one thousand en-
listed men, including She Philippine
scouts and unassigned recruits. I'm
like the national defense act of 1916,
which the new bill would amend, no
definite tactical formation of the army
is prescribed, this being left discre-
tionary with the President. This fea-
ture is among the principal causes of
The sharp opposition by the minority.
Liberal provisions for building up
the bill, including many of the recon-
mendations advocated by guard off
GERS. The reserve officers training
corps, in schools and colleges, reserve
training camps and citizens reserve
are continued.
While the bill provides for a peace
time army of more than one hundred
thousand troops stronger than the de-
tense act, even the supporters of the
enlarged army were skeptical that it
would soon become a reality.
The combat strength is authorized
10 be 4 million, the remainder Of the
force being absorbed in the supply and
administrative services, and the
Philippine scouts and unassigned re-
cruits. The infantry force is fixed at
4 maximum strength OF 10000 men
and 1920 officers; the cayalary at
2O,50O men and $50 officers; the field
artillery at $500 men and 1900 Off
GERS; the coast artillery at $4,000 men
and 1000 officers. and the air service
at 10000 men, including cadet flyers,
and 1874 officers.
Enlistments in the regular army are
fixed at one or three years at the OPP
ton Of the recruit. The various grades
Of enlisted men are left to the Presi-
dents discretion and subject to his
change at any time. Pay of enlisted
men is fixed at $50 to SIS a month,
with a provision abolishing the pres
ent laws for continuous service in
creases and substituting a fiat 10 per
cent increase in base pay for each
five years Of service.
