Seventeenth Legislative
Assembly Enacts Many
Beneficial Laws to State
Successful Bills Necessarily Of Non-political
Character---Real Political Significance Of
Session Yet to be Determined

1t is too early to correctly esti-
mate the real. POLITICAL significance
Of the Seventeenth Legislative AS.
sembly, which concluded its work
early Saturday morning. The re-
suit Of the recall and initiative
measures which the I. V. AS are
planning as an outgrowth of the
House Investigating Committee will
in q large way decide that.
Initiative Petitions Out
As yet only the petitions for ini-
tiating the program laws have been
sent out One set Of these petitions
was circulated in Fort Yates the
first Of the week. Recall petitions
may be circulated later. Although
the Executive Council of the 1. V.
A., the Committee Of 21 and the
Independent members of the Legis-
lature have decided in favor of the
recall, there is still a diversity of
opinions among the Independent
voters Of the state as to its practical
advisability..
Notwithstanding the deadlock
which. existed between the two
houses of the session just ended,
many non-political laws bearing
directly on the best interests Of the
state and its citizens were passed.
OF course there was the usual effort
made by the would-be reformers to
have enacted more laws Of such a
character as would force every one
to conform to their ideas Of right
and wrong. Bills, such as, prohib-
iting school teachers from attend
ing dances during the week, provid-

ing for movie censorhip and so on,
were introduced only to be killed.
The anti-smoking bill was praciti-
caNy the only bill of such a char
acter tc be passed. This bill pro-
hibits smoking in dinning rooms of
hotels, cafes, restaurants and other
public places frequented by both
men and women.
County Officer. Get Raise
One Of the last bills to be recon-
sidered and passed was the bill fix
ing the salaries of county officers.
The minimum salary was set at
$500 and the maximum at $4,000.
This will raise the salaries of all the
officers Of Sioux county. excepting
that of Sheriff which was already
$500.
The law which at the present
time permits the hearing of actions
for divorce was changed so as to
require that their hearing be held
at the regular term of the district
court in the same county where the
suit is filed. An attempt to in.
clude in this change provision re-
quiring all hearings to be in ;open
court was defeated. '":%'
The bill making Armistice day. 9,
legal holiday for North Dakota
was also reconsidered and passed.
The legislature went one better than
the national government by declar.
ing the war with Germany at an
end as regards North Dakotn. The
levy for the soldiers bonus was jim
creased from. three.quarters t0 one
mill and all restrictions as to the
use of the bonus were removed.

DIR. Thomas Hin!xIc of Cawker City

Among the Kansas authors to OBJ
tain comparatively recent recognition
is DIR. Thomas Clark Hinkle of Cawker

lished. He is the author of the Green
woods series of children's stories,
among which are Doctor Rabbit and

Brushtail Fox; Doctor Rabbit and
Grumpy Bear" DIR. Hinkle attended
Washburn college, spending four years
attending school in Topeka.
More than one hundred thousand
of Dr. Hinkle's child story books have
been sold in America and Canada. He
has been elected to membership in
the Authors League of America.
Manuscripts DIR. Hinkle forwarded
to publishers, setting forth his stories
of animal life, We're returned time
after time for twenty years. Last
fall Rand, McNally & Co. decided to
publish his books, and they have since
sold in great numbers.
Kate Douglas Wiggin has written
to DR.. Hinkle recently. She said:

your Doctor Rabbit books and 1 think
these stories are perfectly charming.

TO help SCHOOLS
Seventeen Recommendations
Made by Miss Wooster for Laws
Objects to So Much Money
Being Spent for Tobacco.

Seventeen recommendations for
legislation designed to improve the
school system of Kansas and partly
untangle the mass of conflicting
school laws are made in the biennial
report of Miss Lorraine Elizabeth
Wooster. state superintendent of pub
lie instruction. The report is now in
process of completion.
One recommendation. while not
dealing directly with education legis-
lation, expresses Miss Wooster's belief
that there should be "an adjustment
of our laws, so that more money may
not be spent for tobacco and cigarets
in violation of the state laws and the
food and drug act, than is spent per
child for food, clothing and educa-
ton"
Coincide With Teachers.
The state superintendent recon-
mendations coincide in part with
those made by the Kansas State
Teachers association. In certain re-
spects the legislative programs of the
association and the superintendent
differ. Miss Wooster is particularly
anxious to remove the heads of the
state institutions from the state board
OF education in order that, so her rec
omme ndation reads, persons on the
board may not be beneficiarieS OF led
eral fundS Wnlcn Iney appOTllOH, VI
beneficiaries of other acts of the
board; also that the members of the
board may more directly represent the
common schools, the high schools and
the taxpayers"
The Recommendations.
The other recommendation ask:
A minimum term of eight months
for district schools.
Change in date of term of county
superintendent SO as to coincide with
the school year.
Increased salary for county super
in+Cndents.
More state aid for weak districts.
More equitable distribution of taxes.
More definite, more practical and
shorter course of study.
Better school libraries.
Change of dates for common-school
diploma examinations.
More state and county aid for
county normal institutes, and credit
for attendance upon a term of four
or six weeks.
Normal training aid for more high
schools, reducing the number of pu-
pills required for state aid.
Vocational aid for more high
schools, placing the supervision and
direction of the work under the state
superintendent of public instruction,
the same as other high school work.
Removal of heads of state inStitu-
lions from text book commission and
placing instead one county superin-
tendent and one city superintendent.
Adjustment of high school laws; re-
vision of laws for consolidation; re-
vision of laws for certification.
