The Kansas legislature may be fall
| ing in love with Topeka. 1t will stay
in town another ten days-maybe two
weeks. Consideration of bills may
stop March Is or 16 and the time may
be extended to the 18th.
Working for nothing except love of
country-and local environment--the
lawmakers entered today's session
with definite time fixed for stopping
work. Legislators will tonight pay an
| other weeks room rent and the board
ing house and restaurant keepers are
assured another week of increased
business. The legislators are now pay
| ing their own bills Their So day
| salaries stopped Wednesday.
No Pay Don't Disturb Them.
Suspension of pay checks doesn't
seem to disturb the legislature in the
least, tho. Members give of their time
and oratory as freely when they work
| for nothing as when they receive $50
voucher for services rendered at end
of the ten-day periods. In conse-
quence all thought of stopping work
| next week has now been abandoned
The active session is certain to extend
into the following week with sine die
adjournment no earlier than March / Q.
| This hasn't been a really success
full week for the administration. The
senate slaughtered two of the admin
| istration pets in two days and the
house has been running wild and care
| free and barely failed to slay several
| of the governors favorite measures.
Workmen's Bill Defeated.
In the senate the administration
! workmens compensation act was
| badly beaten in two tests. The bill
failed of recommendation in commit
tee of the whole. Later efforts to re-
| viye the Dill thru a motion to recon-
slider failed miserably. The senate ac-
ton makes certain failure of all COM
| pensation legislation at this session.
| The bill as drafted was distinct adj
l ministratien document and was writ

I by the governor.

| jury verdict amendment to the voters
| upper house during the week. The
resolution came up under a special Or
der and failed to win support of a
majority of the senate lawyers. They
| walked on the jury reform plan with
hobnail shoes and made short work of
! the resolution. 1t was regarded as ono
| of the administration policies, altho
the regular organization split in its
support.
While the senate was playing foot
bali with the compensation bill and

circus stunts on the civil service law.

tance law and the motor license bill.
The latter measure came thru nicely

Repeal Efforts Fail.
But returns regarding the other
measures are less favorable. Efforts

TOwnleyism in Manila.

Most people have supposed that no.
where under the American flag is
there bank in existence like the
Bank of North Dakota, which ope-
rates without any reserve, and goes on
doing business as best it can after
it cannot pay it's debts, but the like
Of it has been found in the Philippine
islands. The Philippine government
took 200,0O0,000 pesos of stock in
the Philippine National bank just as
the state of North Dakota, under
Townley domination, took $2,O0O,OOO
of stock. in his institution. The Phil
ippine bank loaned money to the limit
of it's resources on long time paper
just as was done in North Dakota.
The Philippine government also de-
posted 100000 pesos in the govern
ment bank. The New York Times
describes the situation in saying that
If the government withdraws its de-
posits the bank cannot grant COM
mercial credits, and if the bank fl
nanccs trade it cannot cash the gov
eminent drafts" The Filipinos, like
the nonpartisan leaguers, took no ac-
count Of payday and never dreamed of
sugar, tobacco, hemp and other COM
moditics possibly falling in price.-St.
