 Why this state of affairs makes the American dollar the international currency" of the world is explained as follows by The Index:
 While normally the currency of other nations is on a gold basis. the difference between the United States and the larger European countries is that the United States is the only one which is on an actual gOld-rc- demption basis. This fact has en- hauccd the position of the dollar as standard currency throughout the world. That is to say. trader in any part uf the world can buy or sell on q dollar basis with assurance as to what is the universal value of the medium of exchange in which he is dealing. The extended penetra- tion of our trade. and the fact that a larger part of il than formerly is carried on directly with the buyer or seller in foreign lands. have had further influence in making the dol lar the only available international currency" In this respect il has occupied by the pound sterling.

House Members Recommend
Measure in Committee.
To Substitute Senate Bill for
Original House Act.
MARTIN LOST IN THE FIGHT
Motion for One Man Commits
sion Lost on Rising Vote.
LambertsOn Makes Bitter At.
tack Against Gov. Allen.

After two hours of oratory admins
tration forces slipped around the Mar
tin amendments restricting industrial
members also recommended passage
of the new public utilities bill while
working in committee of the whole.
The most important and effective
move. tho. was to put the senate bill
in position for substitution for the
house bill which carries amendments
not approved by trainers of the pro-
posed new laws.
When the fighting ended. it looked
as tho the court bills might complete
their trip thru the committee of the
whole today. McDermott of Cowley.
Republican leader, has declared, tho,
that he does not want any of the COM
panion bills to go to third reading un-
til they are all in line for passage.
Martin Lost First Round.
Martin lost the opening round of his
fight on the utilities commission bill
when the battle was resumed. He was
never able to regain the ground which
he held last week. A motion to re-
strict the commission membership to
one commissioner instead of three was
beaten on rising vote. After that the
administration jammed its measures
tnTu WITHOUT meeting effective OppO-
sition. A motion to strike out the
enacting clause of the senate utility
bill was beaten Sc to 43. Then before
the house leader could move to rec
ommend the senate measure for pas
sage, Martin put thru a motion to
recess the committee.
He Assailed Governor Allen.
In his fight on the bill, Lambertson
of Brown bitterly assailed Governor
Allen. He declared the governor was
insincere and had not given the farm
ers of the state a fair deal. He said
the governor was at heart opposed to
the Burdick stockyards bill and signed
it only at the last minute. Further. he
charged, the governor did not seek to
secure an early hearing of the injunc-
ton suit which packers brought to
hold up enforcement of the new law.
Barrier of Greenwood, an admins
tration appointee on the state admin
istration board, defended the governor,
as did several other members who later
discussed the bill

IN STATE SENATE

Senator Fishers bill for the estab-
Hshment of a state sanitary code by
the state board of health and the
licensing of all plumbers, was killed
in the committee on temperance and
hygiene, according to a report of the
committee given Tuesday afternoon.
There was long wrangle in the
senate Tuesday over a bill by Senator
Laing, regarding the distribution
among school districts of taxes col
Iected on railroad property. Several
amendments to the bill were offered
and passed, and then Senator Brooke,
because of the indefinite condition in
which the bill left the school affairs
in certain districts, moved that the bill
be killed. His motion prevailed.
Great Bend has a city cemetery, but
it is outside the city limits, and the

London, Feb. 9.-The warning by
an official of the British foreign Of
flee that Britain and America might
drift into a war caused as great a SEN
sation in England as in the United
States.
There has been a drift we cannot
afford to ignore" the Daily News de-
clared editorially. This newspaper
published extracts from the foreign
office spokesman statement. as ca
bled back to England from America,
where the warning was first printed.
War Talk Unjustified.
That there has been a drift. we
cannot afford to ignore" said the
News. Points in the controversy
over oil, naval rivalry, the cables and
the Anglo-Japanese alliance need no
seeking, but there is not one of them
that ought seriously to compromise
the good understanding that has ira
ditionally existed between the two ma
tfons."
The editorial said there is no pros
pect of such friction as could justify
discussion of war between America
and Britain.
1t was learned that the statement
made by the foreign office spokesman
TO the American correspondents was a
carefully considered speech, which
ment officials.
81 Not To Be Alarmist
1t was reiterated today that the
phrase. "Anglo-American relations are
more strained than appears on the
surface" summarizes the situation
adequately but not in an alarmist way
Il Americans here were mystified as to
the meaning of the warning. The in
sistance of a government official that
there was divergence of American
and British views that was creating a
tension, was puzzling to them.
s 1t is learned authoritatively that the
British frequently and formally have
suggested to Washington that war
debts should be cancelled. Govern
ment officials here cannot understand
the attitude of the United States
treasury in refusing to do so.
IL Oil the Big Issue.
Emergencies over the oil and debt
questions apparently are the most seri-

Britain is grabbing all the oil lands

Zuela to release them

TO CURTAl PARDON POWER
Senator Price Introduces Another
Parole Measure Today.

dAOkO -xAC1AcoAS
1t is the sentiment of the present
session of the state legislature that
the parole powers of the district
judges and the parole and pardon
board, by their too free application.
are responsible for much of the crime
in the state at the present time.
The strong possibility that a parole
will be granted has worked as an en-
couragement to criminals. particular
ly younger criminals of the state, the
legislators believe, and the too tender
hearted officials entrusted with the
power of parole have been blamed for
the laxness of enforcement of the
laws.
There has already passed the house
and senate a bill which greatly re-
stricts the paroling power OF the
judges of the district court at the
present time, and Senator Price, OF
Clark county, this morning introduced
in the senate another bill which dras-
tically curtails the pardoning power OF
the governor.
The Price bill provides that the gov
ernor shall have no power to issue a
parole unless the application has been
approved and recommended by the
trial judge before whom the applicant
was tried. and by the prosecuting at
torney of the county in which the trial
was held.
The bill also provides that there
must De pupilSneu, IN the olllcid
county paper of the county in which
the trial was held, at least thirty days
before the hearing of the application,
notice of intention to file an applica-
ton for the parole. and that the pub
LEGATION notice must bear the name OF
the convicted person seeking the pa
role, the date of the trial and the Of
Tense, and the nature of the offense
for which sentenced.
A duplicate bill was introduced in
the house today by Representative O.
H. Hatfield, of Gray county.
The restrictions on the parole pow
err which are incorporated in the Price
bill were favored by the Kansas Peace
Officers association, in their annua
meeting in Topeka last fall, and also
by the county attorneys who met here
recently.

The principal matter brought before
the North Topeka Civic club last eve
ming at it's regular meeting was the
report of the committee on improve
ments for Garfield park, of which F.
o. Morns was chairman.
Mr.. Morns had compiled a list OF
all incomes from Garfield park con-
cessions from 1914 to the present;
also the cost of improvements and up
keep. These expenses up until last
May had been paid out of the Gar
field park improvement fund, contrary
to the agreement with the city. In
May of last year Commissioner Nc
Giffert met with the North Topeka
Civic club and discussed the Garfield
park fund, its use and misuse. He
acknowledged at that time that he
| had followed in the footsteps of his
predecessors and had used the park
fund for upkeep and maintenance. not
knowing that this fund was solely for
improvements in Garfield park. He
promised that in future this money
from the concessions should be used
for this purpose alone, and the figures
last night shown by Mr.. Morns,
proved that this has been done.
That North Topeka is not mistaken
in believing that a wrong has been
done Garfield park in using the i'm
provement fund for maintenance and
upkeep, which expense should have
come out of the general park fund
showing that from 1915 to 1919 North
Topeka paid park levy amounting to
$9.034.47, and during this time re-
ceived nothing from the general park
fund for the expenses of Garfield park.
Commissioner McGiffert further
promised the committee that the first

The next meeting of the Civic club
will be held February %. 4.
Work of remodeling the r. r. Baer
building at 912 Kansas avenue was be-
gun yesterday. When the work is fin
ished the building will be occupied by
an automobile tire and accessory store.
North Topeka's quota in the Boy
Scouts canvass for funds is $4,000.
The business district of North Topeka
will be canvassed by a committee from
the North Topeka Civic club. while
the residence section will be covered
by members of the W. G. T. Z. and
other clubs.
DR.. Frank Loveland, in his Boy Scout
talk last evening at the meeting of
the North Topeka Civic club, laid
stress upon the fact that the object of
the Boy Scout movement was one of
prevention. All boys of scout age,
Doctor Loveiand stated, need an out
let for their energy, and if it is not
found in harmless and useful occupa-
ton, such as is offered by scout craft,
this energy will be expended in mis-
chievous and lawless pursuits. This
same energy, rightly directed, will
prove of value, not only to the boy,
but to the citizen of future years, as
the training the boy receives is not of
merely temporary benefit, but is last
ing in its influence.
The program given last evening at
the Community house under the direc-
ton of the entertainment committee of
the Civic club was well attended. The
numbers were all unusually good and
greatly enjoyed. A sum of over seven
teen was raised.
