IN STATE SENATE

Some of the senators are descrip-
ing the calendar revision committee as
the strong arm squad" The revision
committee is meeting twice daily now,
and hand picking the measures on
which they wish to get consideration
during the next session. The time is
growing short with some pet measures
standing less than a gamblers chance
to be heard.
Senator Kyle, of Dickinson county.
was Slipped up on" Thursday after
noon. During the morning session Re
had been acting in the chair, and had
mildly razzle- dazzled some OF the
when their bills were called up for
consideration. At the noon recess the
revision committee slipped his oieo-
margarine bill up near the head of
the calendar. and the bill was read
before the senator from Dickinson was
ready. He asked to have the bill passed
over and retain it's place on the calen-
dar, and was soundly "kidded' by the
members.
Efforts to pass the cooperative
marketing association bill presented
by Senator Gates, and introduced by
the senate committee on agriculture,
failed Thursday afternoon, and the
supporters of the bill postponed fur
ther consideration of the measure,
until they could marshal their forces
in its behalf, to more effect. The law
is madeled after the California law
under which the California fruit and
citrus growers have established a COM
plete monopoly for their products, it
Is said.
Declaring it the most sweeping au-
thorizatien measure ever granted to
any corporation or association in the
state legislature, Senator Fisher, of
Shawnee county. opposed the bill Wig
orously in the form in which 1t was
introduced.
The senate put In the greater part of
the DAY arguing pro and con, the
merits of the Satterthwaite bill pro-
viding for the revival of the old-time
thirty-day county institute for teach
ers. There was opposition to the bill,
which various senators credited to the
heads of the state normal schools
These latter heads were severely cen
sured by some of the members of the
upper house, for presuming to lobby
against the bill, and as vigorously de-
Tended by others. Charges were made
that the school heads were endeavor-
ing to eliminate the institutes in order
to boost the enrolment at their
schools. and answered by charges that
the instruction received at the insti-
tutes was not of the order necessary
for the proper training of teachers.
The bill finally passed, with fairly
large majority of votes.

Bic SCHOOL FUND
Both Houses Pass Appropria-
ton Bills Totaling S7,OOO,OOO.
Increase in Salaries to College
Instructors.

The appropriation bills for the state
schools, totaling more than 100000,
nave been thru the mills of the ways
ana means committees of the upper
and lower houses, thru the conference
committees, and the members of both
committees believe that now the bills
are in shape which is satisfactory to
every one concerned They believe
that the conference reports which
were adopted Thursday night after a
late session will be adopted today by
both houses.
The senate and house made about
equal concessions. We think that we
have everybody satisfied now" said
Senator Snyder, chairman of the ways
and means committee of the senate,
this afternoon.
One of the points at issue was a
differentiation in the percentage of
increase in salary and inaIl.,..a>Ice,
between different institutions. Sena-
tor Snyder stated that this had been
adjusted so that each institution re-
ceives the same percentage increase
over the past biennium.
The house was disposed to be more
generous with the institutions than
was the senate, but at different points.
An average was struck between them.
Increase in Salaries.
In every case, the appropriations for
salaries, wages and new teachers have
been raised above the original senate
bill. For 1922 they were raised as

Agricultural college, from $500, 600 to

State Manual Training School at Pitts
burg. from $4,000 to $4,000; Fort
Hays Normal School, from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The total appropriations for the
larger schools are as follows: Kansas
University, for 1922, $1.445,000; for
1923, $1,43O,000; for the biennium,
$2,S75,O00. X. S. a. c., for 1922, ST.

FILE BRIEF IN CUSTER. CASE
Attorney General Takes Further
Action in Wilson Suit.


The attsFHey general of the state
has not yet given up his determina-
ton to GUST Walter Wilson, state bank
commissioner, from office. In spite of
the report of the supreme court com
missioner, J. NJ. Challis, who took evil
Naence in the Wilson custer case and
rendered a report to the effect that
there was no evidence whatever to
substantiate the charges of the legal
department of tn estate, there has
been prepared long series of charges
in the 1erm of a brief which is to be
presented to the supreme court today.
The brief takes exception to- the
findings of the commissioner, renews
most of the charges, and devotes much
time to the Ceffeyville bank failure,
which is credited to the laxity of the
bsnk commissioner in permitting
overloans.
The recent Pettyjohn failure, which
dragged one bank under, is cited in
connection with the charges that the
commissioner has permitted banks to
loan too much of their money to one
party, without sufficient security.
The brief charges that tho no direct
law was violated, when Wilson, as
member of the blue sky board, voted
to grant a charter to the bank holding
corporation in which he was inter-
ested, yet this course was contrary to
public policy and is sufficient grounds
in itself fof an custer.
The 'Salina bank case is taken up in
the brief and again discussed at some
length

FARMERS UNION FIGHTS IT

Solidation Bill.

Officers on JOB to Battle Against Con-
solidation Bill.
Influences of the Farmers Union
will be thrown into the fight against
passag e-of the agricultural-liyes
consolidation bill now before the sem
ate committee on agriculture Maur-
lee MeAuliffe of Salina, president OF
the big farmers organization, is in To-
peka and is expected to take an active
hand in defeat of the bill in its present
form.
\ None of the livestock or agricultural
organizations has opposed censolida-
ton policies. They have fought Stub
bernly, tho, any program which tends
to throw the big state departments
into politics.
If the bill is to be passed in its pres
ent form, McAaliffe insists;~it should
place in the merger the state highway
commission, industrial court and pub
lie utilities commission.
''They should all be dumped in the
pot together if this thing is to pass in
anything like its present FORM" Nc
Au1iffe declared at the state house to-
day. With John Tromble of Beloit.
an officer of the union and a former
member of the legislature, McAuliffe
was on the jeb today to help defeat
the measure. :.
IT am not for the bill in its present
FORM" said McAuIffe. If the bill
passes as it came from the house, it
will create MORE board heads and bu-
reau forces than we now have and VIII
destroy existing consultations and
working organizations.
ITO operate under this proposed
consolidation plan will cost more than
it is now costing with the existing
boards. It would in no way be a saw
ing to the people,"

MANY ATTEND BABY CLINIC
Twenty Three Babies Brought to Free
Clinic at City Hall.

Motor ears were no more numer-
ously parked before the city hall
Thursday afternoon than were baby
carriages. No less than twentythree
babies were brought to the free baby
clinic, the record attendance since the
clinic was established. The two clinic
rooms on the first floor of the city
building are not large and could
scarcely aecommo late the mothers
and babies who attended.
4 certainly think the city should
provide larger space for the babies"
one indignant mother said, when she
found the clinic almost too crowded to
enter. But by waiting a short time
she was able to have her baby ex-
amined and went away enthusiastic
over the clinic work.
The largestsnumber of babies at any
one previous clinic was eighteen, the
number registered last week. The
clinic is held every Thursday after
noon from to o'clock. DR.. Paul G.
Belknap, child specialist, and Miss
Margaret Kitchener, baby welfare
nurse, are in direct charge of the
clinic, under the supervision of Miss
Alexander of the Public Health Nurs-
ing association
