MAY BUY SHAWNEE MISSION
Senate Votes to Take Over the Build
ines Which House First Ses-
sion Of Legislature.

Topeka.-The senate the other day
passed the CrIeman resolution, which
provides that the state shall take over
the old Shawnee Mission grounds and
buildings, in Johnson County, near
Kansas City, Kas.
In the memories of several members
OF the upper house Of the Kansas leG-
islature there are still green the recol-
Iections of the true nature Of the 4 rst
legislature" WHICH was held at the
Shawnee Mission.
These members charged in the de-
bate that the first legislature" re-
ferred to was a pro-slayery, packed
legislature from Missouri, and passed
an amendment to the wording of he
resolution which made it refer to the
legislative body in question as the
bogus" legislature.
But they recognized the historical
value of the mission, without regard
to the personal merit OF the assem-
blago, and passed the resolution with
out dissent. The measure has not yet
been introduced in the ouse.
The senate passed the house bill for
the appropriation of $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the commission which Is to
revise and codify the state school
laws. The appropriation met with a
bitter fight in the house, but had no
opposition in the senate.

THE PRIMARY LAW IN DANCER
Two Measures Now Before iegisIa-

to Boss Control Again.

ropeka.-The Kansas senate will
have an opportunity to take two
cracks at the primary law at the be-
hest of the politicians of the state
who are so anxious to have the power
Of making nominations returned to
them The senate committee On cleo
tions has returned the bill to remove
4 lot of state officials from the pri-
mar list. The committee did not
make a favorable or Unfavorable re
p-rt, but returned the bill without rec
OmmendatiOn.
The bill provides for the nomina-
ton of all the state Officers below
governor by a state convention. This
convention meets in May and IN addi-
ton to nominating the state officials
also makes up the party platform. The
county officers and the candidates for
congress and the legislature are to be
nominated by the primary.
The same committee has made
favorable report on the Hasty bill to
require the registration Of party pref
erences in the cities before anyone
can vote This bill is intended TO stop
Democrats participating in the Repub-
Ecan primaries, II they have ever done
it to any considerable extent. 1t does
not prohibit the Democrats cOntin~ ng
their alleged participation, as they can
continue to register as Republicans
and vote the Democratic ticket in the
elections if they desire. There is no
penalty in the bill.
AS a matter Of fact the politicians
want to make the primary law unpop-
ular by requiring additional burdens
to be put on the voters and thus keep
a large number of people away from
the polls on primary day and let the
politicians run the primary.
Both these bills, the opening wedges
looking toward the ultimate destruc-
ton of the primary law, are now on
the senate calendar. If the politicians
have any influence with the revision
committee the bills will be rapidly ad-
Vanced for consideration.

An oil royalty suit which tied more
than a third of a million dollars from
oil royalties in the COvert-Sellers oil
field was ended at Peabody when the
Miller sisters of Chicago, owners of
$50 acres in the north part of the
rich Covert oil field, settled with a
group of Marion and Reno County
men for $1,000. The suit was brought
against the Miller sisters on a charge
that the former bought from the sis
tiers considerable portion of the roy
atty, and that the sisters later broke
the contract. Remaining to be set
tied is the case against the Miller sis
tiers, brought on a similar charge, of
Liggett & Adams, Wichita operators.
They allege they bought a portion of
the royalty, but that the defendants
later broke faith. The entire royalty
has been held up in the possession of
the Prairie Pipe Line Company, and
is said to amount to about $350,000
to date The property is under lease
to the Ramsey Petroleum Company of
