STATE LAW REVISION NOW
Commission Will Have Volume
Ready For 1923 Legislature

kC00y tut lTSO L<BhDbosstS
A commission to be appointed by
the state supreme court will immed-
lately undertake revision Of the
general statutes Of Kansas, under a
bill passed BY the 1921 legislature.
This will be the first revision Of the
statutes since Kansas legislatures
began to make laws sixty years ago.
A revision is badly needed to
eliminate dead matter and conflict
ing provisions, according to II. w.
Clausen, assistant attorney general
The bill providing for appointment
of the revision commission was In
trOduced late in the session by the
house committee on judiciary. Little
argument was needed to convince
lawyer members of the Legislature
that revision was to be desired and
the bill had easy sailing In both
houses.
The statutes, including 1921 SEES.
sion laws, comprise nearly 4,OOC
pages. Mr.. Clausen believes all the
acts now in force can be condensed
into half that space. The commits
sion is given authority to change
and rewrite laws as deemed neces'
sary for a careful editing. Upon
completion of the work the COM
mission is to certify that the re-
yised statutes contain all the laws
of n general nature In force. Then
they are to be submitted to the leg
islature, POSSIBLY in 1923, for re-
enactment

PUSH HARD SURFACE ROADS
Commissioners Advertise For Bids to
Open on April Is


The county commissioners are
pushing the hard surface road pro-
jects Of the county as fast as pos
sible. They are this week adver-
thising for bids on the Detroit Chap
man road and on the completion OF
the Hope Harrington road, about IL
miles in all, together with the
bridges and culverts needed. 1t Is
expected that the work will be COM
pleted by January LIST II the contract
is let. Bids are to be opened April
10.
Laying Of concrete on the Abilene
Detroit section is going ahead rapid
" with large force at work and
will be completed to Detroit by
June Is.
The bill to allow collection from
the district to pay Its share as the
work Is done failed Of passage by the
legislature and nothing can be col
lected from the Abilene Chapman
district or the Hope Harrington dis
trict until the entire road is COM
plete. The banks Of the county will
probably assist in financing the pro-
jects at the end until the district
share can be financed.
There will remain on the Golden
Belt about two and half miles east
Of Chapman to connect with the
Geary county road. This has been
made a district and the petition ap-
proved and 1t may be possible to get
federal aid for It. If so, the con-
necti,C will probably be made.
