Legislation making speculation in

eighth district. Frizen is one of the
biggest land owners and largest wheat
producers in the state. He proposes a
law which will prohibit sale of grain

the person making the sale
The Frizell bill would mean an alb
solute prohibition against trading in

1t would legislate the boards of trade

F'rizeH believes would be an initial
step toward national legislation pro-
hibiting such trading.
There will be a bill before the leg
islature this winter to prohibit trading
in futures of grain, meat and other
essentials" said Frizell who served as
member of the house from Pawnee
county in the sessions of 1890
Passage of this law would make any
person who sold a bushel of grain they
did not own a felony. believe such
law in Kansas would lead to nation

160-acre tract west of Topeka
AS soon as the new dormitory is

rapidity, is now being conducted by
the association. Figuratively, blocks

SUFFERING IN EUROPE
Mrs. Katherine Eddy Asks Young
Women to Work in Europe.

"Gaunt, terrific suffering is pacing
central Europe" Mrs. Katherine Will
lard Eddy OF the Y. w. c. A. foreign
board, said in commenting on the
European situation. Mrs. Eddy is Wis
iting Topeka in a tour of Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming and Utah to interest
young women in Y. w. c. A. work
among women and girls in Europe and
the Orient.
Mrs. Eddy but recently returned
from Europe, where she spent several
months in studying the postwar con-
ditions and in finding where aid is
most needed.
1--WE must think internationally
she said. The greatness of our coun-
try and our ideals depends upon how
much we share what We have with
others. That the countries of central
Europe, particularly, are in need OF
help is shown when students and
teachers, who are usually of class to
provide for themselves, are fainting
from hunger and lack of the proper
chance to live.
Mrs. Eddy has spent five years in
missions. She is a Kansas woman ana
formerly lived in Leavenworth.
when L feel that 1 have done what
I can in the work 1 am doing, L am
going to come back to Kansas and
stay" Mrs Eddy said. 81 would rather
be here in Kansas than anywhere else
1 have ever been. My work is in
tensely interesting. but 1 should be
happy with home keeping again in
Kansas town.
Women and girls in Europe are
going into industrial work unpre-
pared" she said. Americans are used
to the idea of girls working and many
of the right influences are brought
around them even tho they are out in
the world. But very little allowance is
made for the European girl VINO goes
into industry, as she has had to do
since the breadwinners of so many
families were lost in the war
Mrs. Eddy is a sister-in-law of Sher-
wood Eddy, internationally known Y.
NJ. c. A. secretary, and of Brewster
Eddy. secretary of the Congregational
board of missions.

USE ARMED FORCE
Judge Higgins Urges State
Police for Disturbances.
Available for Bank Bandits and
Industrial Trouble.

An enabling act permitting the state
to use armed forces in case of indus
trial trouble has been urged before the
Kansas bankers during the last week
by w. L. Higgins, presiding judge of
the Court of Industrial Relations.
Judge Higgins did not declare for a
state police, but for a power-either
in the governor or adjutant general
to call for such forces as might be
needed in any emergency.
Use of forces which might be pro-
vided by law would aid in running
down bank robbers and in breaking up
organized gangs of automobile thieves,
Judge Higgins asserted. He urged
that legislation looking to some form
of emergency state protective service
be enacted. Many bankers who heard
Judge Huggins's speeches in Coffey-
Vile, Harper, Sterling and Greensburg
were declared to be favorable to the
plan.
Thirty Robberies in Kansas.
There were more than thirty bank
robberies in Kansas last year." Judge
Higgins said in Topeka today. Ger
tainly the state ought to take some
steps to enforce its criminal laws.
Losses to the banks in these robberieS
will never be known, perhaps, except
to the bankers themselves. In one
bank alone, more than $4,000 worth
of liberty bonds were taken.
81 am not positive in my own mind
as to the exact course the state should
pursue. Yet there should be some en-
abling act which would permit the
calling of an armed force to break up
organized crime and to quen indus
trial disturbances. This power should
be vested in the governor or the adj
iutant general

FOR PAYNE.
State Treasurer May Land De-
partment in Washington.
Has Made Excellent Record in
Public Office.

Walter L. Payne, state treasurer,
may succeed to one of the important
appointments under the Harding ad-
mln1stfation, according to dope in po-
litical circles. Payne himself has said
nothing about it. Rumors tho are to
the effect that he may be attached to
one Of the important departments in
Washington following change in ma
tional administrations.
. Payne is concluding his second term
-as state treasurer. He was formerly
assistant treasurer under the late Mark
fTulley and was for several years sec
.retary and later president of the KAN
sas Day club, official statewide Re
publican dinner club. For number
of years Payne has been active in state
politics. He is an officer in several
banks and other corporations.
During the four years Payne has
been state treasurer he has made an
excellent record. The business of the
department has grown far beyond its
former activities and in his two terms
Payne has handled approximately $75,-
600. 900 in cash.
In his recent report to Governor AL
len, Treasurer Payne covered in gem
seral way much of the important work
of his department. In the four fiscal
years Of his administration, Payne has
collected in interest from state funds
a total of $2S5,S05.62. This is $121,-
005.95 in excess of collections for any
previous four years.
Work of the fiscal agency is now
increasing rapidly-approXim ST.
900, 900 a year. The one-eighth of one
per cent fee collected for the four fis-
cal years reached a total of 1S,336.S5.
This money was placed in the general
revenue fund.
Asks New Amendments.
In one of his legislative recommen-
dations Payne recently urged that the
depositors' guaranty fund be amended
to permit the state treasurer to deposit
in guaranteed banks moneys as may
be in his custody in lieu of bonds.
During Payne's administration a total
of S679.72 was collected in interest and
placed to the credit of the guaranty
fund. Another recomm endation by
Payne is for a law compelling Kansas
municipalities to publish the calling
for bonds for payment before matur
ity. The provision is asked as an
amendment to the fiscal agency law.
Payne's four years as state treasurer
expires in January. He will be sue
ceeded by E. T. (Tom) Thompson, who
has been first assistant to Payne dur
ing the last four years. Payne's home
is in Burlingame. Should the political
dope sheet be correct, the treasurer
will probably be assigned to service in
Washington during the next four years.

NEED THANKSGIVING CHEER
Sick and Disabled Soldiers at Camp
Funston Need Dainty Food.

Sick and crippled soldiers who are
heroes of the war now at Camp Fun
ston will be in need of Thanksgiving
cheer.
Such is the message received from
A. E. Sharpe, who is Red Cross direc-
tor at Camp Funston. Nearly 200
men who We're disabled in the war are
being cared for at Camp Funston.
Their Thanksgiving day will not be a
gay one in any case, but will indeed be
a cherries day without some thought
from those who should never forget
their sacrifices.
Jellies, jams and dainty edibles of
any kind would be greatly enjoyed by
the men, Sharpe informed Chas. L.
Mitchell, who is at the head of the
annual Red Cross roll call in Topeka.
Any such contributions should be sent
to Mrs Mitchell, 1173 Fillmore, before
Wednesday, when they will be ex-
pressed to Camp Funston.
