of the importance of the proposed en-

ably two weeks-of the special session.
Practically all persons in touch with

adjournment some time next week.
No bills have as yet passed the two
houses. No effort has been made to

sition to- close up the business which
warranted the special session CALI

His Second sF1re Alarm"
White appeared before the legisla-
ture today for the first time since the
memorable session of 1911 when he
was called as a witness in the famous
Leahy investigation At that time
Dave Leahy. then private secretary ito
Governor Stubs, sent out a story that
someone" had tried to bribe someone
in the passage of the public utilities
bill. White wrote g, singing editorial
on the story and was called as wit
ness before the senate. 1t was then
that he won the title Fire Alarm
Bill"
why did you write this editorial II
you didn't know all the facts?" asked
S. n. Brewster, then state senator
from Doniphan county.
WELL" said White. who was plainly
disturbed and self conscious, when
ever I smell smoke yell fire"
And this afternoon White is expect

ALLOWED HIGH PROFIT
kemper Defends His Price Iist-Wnl
Make New Ono.

w. H. Kemper, chairman of the
county fair price committee, has con-
cluded that his committee was not
SO far wrong in its price fixing activ-
tiles, criticisms and injunctions to the
contrary notwithstanding. In a state
ment issued by him today, the fair
price head said that the percentage of
fair profit on groceries arrived at was
26.6 per cent. while that figured by
one of the largest Topeka grocers was
27.7 per cent. This is taken by KEN
per as an indseation that the COM
mittee was not so Ignorant and in
competent as some people claimed.
Kemper's statement today follows:
''Basing the figures on the information
received in the questionable sent in by
the grocers, the fair price committee con-
cluded that 26.6 per cent profit on the cost
price was right It is refreshing to note
that one of the biggest grocery merchants
had figured it to be 27.7 per cent Still
some people insist that the committee is
ignorant and incompetent.
'The fair price committee Is trying to
ascertain the line where legitimate profits
cease and profiteering begins. Percentages
were found to run from to IS per cent
According to Bulletin No Ii, issued
July, 1919. by the bureau of research. the
lowest overhead expense for grocers in
the United States is 0/per cent, the highest
22.S per cent and the average Il per cent"
