IT HURTS KANSAS
New Highway Bill in Congress

AppOrtiOnment Under the Bill
Would Mean S4,OOO,OOO.

State officials today are trying to
gather Information as to provisions of
the new highway bill which has passed
the lower house of congress. If the
bill passes as drawn, Kansas will be
compelled TO adopt two amendments

participate in distribution of federal
aid Adoption OF the amendments
would mean three and four million
dollars to the state under the present
proposed enactnl emit
in telegram to Governor Allen to-
day, W. c. Markham, secretary of the
state highway commission. stated that
the bill had passed the house by a
vote of n to Gall of the members
of the Kansas delegation voting in the
affirmative Prospects OF a special
session of the legislature to bring this
state under provisions Of the bill have
doomed in state house circles for sew
eral weeks. Governor Allen is today
in Omaha. and an expression as to his
plans with its requirements for state
constitutional changes may not be
known for several days.
Must Maintain Roads.
Members of the state highway de-
partment stated today that in their
opinion the house had passed the
Dowell substitute for the Phipps bill.
This bill, as originally drawn, re-
quired that each state receiving fed
eraI aid provide an equal sum for
hard surface road building. 1t also
required that the state assume re-
sponsibility for maintenance of the
roads after construction work is COM
pleted.
Under the Kansas constitution this
state cannot provide direct funds for
road building. as provided by con-
gress. Neither can 1t appropriate
money for maintenance of hard sur
face roads. In order to bring the
matter before the voters in the 1922
election, a special session of the leg
islature would be required. Other
wise the appropriation would lapse
thru failuse of Kansas TO act until
1924. This situation, however, is de-
termined on probable passage by con-
gress OF the Doweu substitute as
originally drawn.
Kansas has received some $4,000
900 in federal aid for hard surface
road building The state apportion-
ment under the new federal aid bill
would be nearly $4,000, 900. But with

thence to the shop, and when the Job
Is finished will be lowered again to the

. ON the third floor of the building
new cars will be stored, and as
sembled, and the surplus stocks OF
parts and agricultural implements will
be carried. The Trefry company
handles Fordson tractors. and some of
the farm implements which go behind
a tractor, in addition to the Ford car.
The entire plant has been finished
in attractive and tasteful style. The
display and salesroom on the first
floor has received particular atten-
ton along this line.
Repair work is to be done on a
contract price basis, instead of by the
hour. At the home factory, there has
been worked out a scale of prices for
every repair job necessary to Fords,
and the prices have been checked by
the local company
That saves money for US and also
for the customer. and gives US both

do the work in reasonable time, We
make a reasonable profit. and We
can't stall for time and run up an
overcharge on the customer. When
we know what is to be done we know
what it will cost

pany, came to Topeka in August,

A formal opening of the new quar-
ters will be held in the near future,

plant can be completed. The open
ing will probably take place next
week. Trefry has five-year lease on
the building.
Business has improved since we

because of the new quarters. or be-
cause of the crop conditions, but it
Is a fact that the farmers are more
optimistic about things. and there has
been an increase in both the sales
and service branches" Trefry says.
