DECREASE IN PRICE OF EGGS
Now Selling on Retail Market at 20
to % Cents.


The fine warm weather SO far this
year has resulted in the hens working
overtime The market is almost
flooded with eggs and there has been
a steady decline in price since Janu-
arg l. Eggs are now selling on the
retail market for from 26 to Is cents
a dozen. There are many more eggs
than usual on the market for this time
of year, and being an earlier date than
that on which storage is usually be-
gun in the north. has forced the prices
down, merchants explain.
While eggs have been going down,
pork took a jump in price. In Janu-
airy, retailers said, pork could be pur-
chased for about Is cents a pound
wholesale. Last week it was up to IS
cents, and is now down to IS cents
again. The. threat of the packing
house workers to walk out it was
said, was no doubt responsible for this
hike. g

LASTED ALL NIGHT

N(OnIlDutu LlOlu Z dkt OuS.t
had not yet been reported on at
O'Clock this morning.
After hints of a scathing denuncia-
ton of the governor and the admins
tration had been given, and after the
senators had nearly worn themselves
out amending the house appropriation
bills. the interval afforded when the
house budget went into session was
used to take up the appointments
which had been presented by the gov
ernor for confirmation. and which did
not reach the upper body until after
o'clock Wednesday night.
The senators sought refuge behind
closed, locked and guarded doors, and
sworn secrecy. to speak their minds
to and of each other and the admins
tration and its nominations.
Before going into executive session,
the senate hard amended the public
utilities commission salary bill. the in
dustria1 court bill. and two other bills
containing miscellaneous items. and
providing a bonus for the employees of
the house and senate.
Pass Tax Measure.
1t had also passed the general levy
bill which provides that the taxable
property of the state shall be taxed
to the amount of sS.500,000 in 1922,
and $4,000 900 in 1928. This gives a
total for the taxpayers of s15,50o 900
to raise in the next two years, with
an additional s3,000.000 to be raised
thru the collection of various fees.
The general levy bill provides for
an assessment of $3,750,000 more for
the coming biennium than for the past
two years. which Senator Snyder,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. says has been largely expended
for new buildings and permanent and
profitable repairs on the old ones.
The bill was passed by the house
shortly after it had been passed by
the senate.

The list of those who will be eligible
TO vote in what is probably the most
important city election Topeka has
ever had, will be closed tonight at 10
o'clock. In the next two years the
largest and most important. as well as
the most expensive civic projects in
the history of the city will be handled
by the city commission. The choice
of the members of the city commits
sion seems exceedingly important when
consideration is taken of the two and
n half million dollars the new COM
mission will spend in the next two
Topekans who should vote in the city
election that have not registered, it is
estimated in the office of Miss Eta
Covell, city clerk.
The Filtration Plant.
Topeka's new $535.0OO filtration
plant and consolidated light and water
plants, the paving. sewer and bridge
projects to amount to 100000 and the
general budgets of the various city
departments approximating $500, 900
bring the total to be expended by the
city in 1921 and 1922 to $2,500,0OO,
the largest amount ever entrusted to
the wisdom o. a city commission at
any time in Topeka's history. With
the establishment of a new city plan
Topeka's development will be taken.
adding, another reason why the city
commission should be carefully chosen.
Books Not Open After Primary.
Contrary to the general idea, the
registration books will not open after

When the registration books close to-

All those who voted in November

in the spring without re-registering,
unless they have changed residence
since the fall election. Merely voting
in the last city election does not make
the citizen eligible to vote in the cleo
ton this spring. Not more than 500
persons have registered since Novem-
Der. according to registration records
in the city clerks office. Topeka
should have between 10000 and %, 900
voters registered for the election, it
is estimated, with only about 1900
registered to date. The city clerks

Thirty Register Wednesday.
For ten days registration books
have been open during the regular

night until 10 o'clock. Wednesday
night after 6 o'clock seventeen
men and thirteen women registered,
the largest number of any evening
since the books were opened at night.
Scores of persons went to the city
hall to register this afternoon and it
is expected that great many persons
