ALLEN TO URGE AMENDMENTS
Proposed Changes in State constitu-
ton Will Be Made Part Issues
in Coming Campaign.

The constitutional amendments pro-
posed by the 1919 legislature are go
ing to be a part of the campaign is
sues this year, the first time in the
history of the state. Usually no one
pays any attention to them.
Governor Allen is going to spend
most of his time in the state cam
paign on the three proposed amend
ments to the constitution. OF course,
he won't slight the national ticket,
nor ignore the state ticket, but the
farm tenantry, good roads and tax
amendments are to be given plenty
of time and explanation by the gov
ernor in his campaign speeches.
'I can't do better thing for Kansas
this year than to inform the voters as
to the Importance and good features
of these amendments, said Governor
Allen in outlining his ideas of cam
paigning. 81 know there is oppo-
sition to all three amendments. but
really it is because they are not I'M
derstood. The farm tenantry amend
ment will increase the number of farm
owners and do away with the tenantry
problem, to a certain extent.
1.-THE opposition to the good roads
amendment will disappear, 1 believe,
when once everyone in the state IN
derstands we intend to pay for the
state highways from the money taken
in from motor car licenses. But we
can't do that without the constitution
al amendment The tax amendment
will make it possible to equalize the
tax burden. and will be a blessing
for the taxpayers of the state. So
intend to devote my campaign as much
as possible to explaining and urging
the adoption of the three constitution
al amendments"

STATE ALARMED BY THE FLU
Health officials Fear Present Epi-
des,aic May Reach Record Made
by Disease in 1918.

Influenza has caused 135 deaths in
Kansas since the epidemic began and
twenty-five thousand cases have been
reported, according to a recent an
nouncement by the state board of
health
DR.. s. 7. Crumbine, secretary OF the
board OF health, stated the indica-
lions were that the state was in for
a serious epidemic, which might be-
come as bad as that in 1918. During
the outbreak Of the disease in Octo-
Der, 1913, there were 45,971 cases re-
ported that month. This record shows
a propoftionate increase of seven
thousand cases during the four weeks
this year.
THE disease does not appear to be
SO virulent and the number Of deaths
is not nearly so great as last year,
DR. s. J. Crumbine said 1.-The num-
Der of cases is greater than at the
outbreak year ago. This may be
due. in part at least, to the more COM
plete system of getting reports this
year. The reports come by telegraph,
while last year many were delayed
by the mails.
1.-The board has requested all dances
and public meetings that are not abb
solutely necessary be postponed. The
dance halls may be the worst places
to spread the disease. The dancing
stirs up dust that is specially ir
ritabIe to the throat. The people are
warm and liable to catch cold and If
there should be an influenza carrier
in the room every person might be
infected. An irritated throat, warm
bodies and tired muscles make one
particularly susceptible to influenza"

Quite serious accident occurred on
last Sunday in which some New Ibe-
ria people were involved.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Marin of Pat
terson, with two of their children, land
Mrs. Rene Girard and two youngest
sons, of this city, were in Mr.. Marin's
car, starting for New iberia. In at
tempting to pass another car on the
gravel road near Patterson Mr.. Marin
lost control of his large car which
crashed into the car in front, and
turned completely over. Mr.. Marin
suffered the fracture of three ribs,
and other minor injuries, and Mrs.
Girard received several painful cuts
and bruises and her back was wren
ched quite badly. The three occup-
ants of the other car were all injured
slightly. Mrs. Girard and Mr.. Marin
were taken to the Patterson sanitar-
ium where they were forced to re-
main for several days. The brand new
Moon car driven by Mr.. Marin was
SO badly demolished that it will have
to be rebuilt at the factory, but the
little Ford rambled away none the
worse for the mishap.
