GOV. SENDS FIRST SPEECH
TO LEGISLATURE TO-DAY

lBy Democrats Topeka Correspondent
TOPEKA, Jan. 28-Governor
Henry ] Allen sent his first special
message to the Kansas legislature to-
day in which he urged that law be
passed recreating the old public util-
tiles commission and consolidating
the state labor department, the state
welfare board, the free employment
bureau and other labor branches of
the government under the industrial
court
In spite of the fact that there has
been a decided sentiment against
creating more "pie jobs" for the gov
ernor to hand out and despite the
fact that many of his friends had ad-
vised him that the legislature was
not disposed to look with favor upon
PMS plan to "divorce" the industrial
court from the public utilities COM
mission the governor proceeded with
his original plan and it was said in
tended to bring all the pressure to
bear he could muster to make the leg
islature do his bidding.
In his message the governor took
occasion to criticise the actions of
the majority members of the court
in their wholesale granting of rate
increases and attempted to shield his
court from any criticism. He said
the industrial court was being seve-
rely criticised because of the many
rate increases granted the public
service corporations.
The recommendations made to the
legislature in the message are that
utilities commission consisting of
three members be recreated and that
the industrial court continue to con-
sist of three judges. The governor
told the legislature he wanted it to
pass a law that would require that
the three members of the industrial
court and the three utilities COM
missioners sit jointly on all cases in
which rates and wages might be in
volved.
By following out the governors
program it is estimated the legis-
lature would impose upon the people
of Kansas burden of taxes almost
double that imposed by the consol-
idated bodies, The governor attempt
,Ged to meet this objection by asserting
\ that much of the expense of main
tanning their consolidated bodies
would be escaped but those who are
in a position to judge of such things
assert that the carrying out of the
governors plan would necessitate the
employment of staff or experts al
most double that now employed by
the consolidated bodies. 1t is pointed
out that both the court and the utll-
ties commission would have to have
rate experts engineers, accountants
and large force of clerks
