SENATE KILLS IT
Does Not Favor Branch of Peni-
tertiary in Southeast.
New Bill Would Remove Butler
From thirteenth District.

The senate committee on ways and
means this morning reported as dead
the bill which was introduced by, Sena
tor Kimbal1, providing for the estab-
lishment of a branch of the state peni-
tentiary in the southea stern portion of
the state.
A bill was introduced this morning
by Senator Satterthwaite, of Butler
county, which would remove Butler
county from the Thirteenth judicial
district of the state, and constitute 1t
the Twenty-sixth judicial district. The
increase in the amount of legal busi-
ness done by Butler county in the
Thirteenth district has made the
change advisable, in the opinion of the
senator.
Senator Van De Mark, of Cloud
county, introduced a bill which would
guarantee the rights of American citi-
zens who have purchased property ac-
uuired by aliens, thru inheritance.
when the aliens are not qualified to
own the property.
A bill by Senator Ridgway, of Kan
sas City, Kan, authorized the pur-
chase by the state board of admins
tration of a. certain tract of ground
which has been set aside for the pur-
pose in a previous statute, to be used
as a site for an addition to the hos
pital and clinical school of the State
university at Rosedale. The bill car
ries an Appropriation of $4,000 for
the purchase of the land.
A joint resolution by Senator Ridg-
way, "by request" was introduced this
morning which provides for the re-
turn to the heirs of DR.. Simeon B. Bell
of Kansas City, Kan, certain real
estate which was donated to the state
| by the physician during his life, to be
fused as a site for a clinical hospital
by the state. The gift of the re Il
estate was accompanied by the gift OF
$4,000 in money for the same pur-
pose, the resolution sets forth.
| The resolution states that the state
! of Kansas has never used the money
| or the land for the purpose for which
| it was donated, and provides for the
return of both to the heirs of the doc

Brotherhood Chief Asks Ad.
justment of Dispute.
Wants Federal Board to Help
Cooperation With r. r.
jewell Demands Full Applica-
tion of Transportation Act.
As Alternative Wants Case
Postponed Until March IA.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Immediate estab-
lishment of adjustment boards to set
tie wage disputes between railroads
and employees was urged before the
United States railroad today by B.
NJ. Jewell. labor's spokesman.
Jewell demanded that railroad ex-
ecutives and representatives of labor
get together with the board to or
ganize the adjustment organizations.
as provided in the transportation act.
This would be the application of
collective bargaining and would ex-
pedite the settling of the railroad con-
troversy," said Jewell.
Jewell charged w. w. Atterbury.
railroad representative. with retarding
action by the railroad board by flood
ing it with minor cases.
Jewell told the board that the rail-
ganda campaign against the adjust
ments board he proposed.
Labor was given its inning before
the board to present its side of the
case in which the railroads have asked
that wage reductions of common labor
be made and some national working
agreements abrogated.
Jewell insisted to the board that
the men did not want to continue any
working agreements that work in
justice on railroad management.
Postponement rs Alternative.
In the event the board does not
agree to the request for appointment
of adjustment boards Immediately.
Jewell asked for a continuance until
March IA before presentation of ar
guments against abrogation of the ma
tiopal agreements.
Frank P. Walsh followed Jewell and
supported the program advocated by
the labor leader He said that ap-
pointment of adjustment boards was
tho only means thru which the pro-
gram of collective bargaining could be
successfully carried out.
E. c. Whittier, representing the
roads. declared that the request pre-
sented by Jewell and backed by Walsh
was merely made TO befog the issue oi
whether or not some of the nationa
! agreements should be abrogated. Ht
demanded that the labor leaders BIZ
/ forced to start their arguments imme
diately on that question w. E
| The board adjourned until 2 p. m

NO CIVIL APPOINTMENTS
House Favors Submitting Amendment
to Voters of Kansas.

This looks like a rough season for
submission of proposed amendments to
the state constitution. Members of
the house judiciary committee have
approved plans to remove the state
superintendent of public instruction
from an elective office to one ap-
pointed by the governor. They also
favor submitting an amendment max
ing legislators ineligible to appoint
ment to civil jobs.
The proposal to resubmit an amend
ment providing for classification of
property for taxation, was slain by the
house committee Governor Allen was
favorable to sending the proposal
back to the voters in 1922.
Representative Snyder's resolution
to submit the one-rnan court house
amendment slipped and fell by the
way side. The judiciary committee
hit the resolution with an ak in spite
of its highly touted forward looking
policies. 1t was in keeping with Gov
ernor Aliens program of several years
ago for reorganization of the county
seat job holding policies.
When the crash came on proposed
amendments, the house also slipped
the props from under Representative
McDermott's plan to permit the state
to build brick and cement plants and
to engage in limited works of internal
improvements.

Cooperative Banking Favored
by Lower House.
Piper's Motion to Strike Out
Enacting Clause Lost.
FOR FINAL ACTION FRIDAY
Farmers Win in Viva Voce
Vote on Measure.
Sixty Persons Required to Or
ganize Bank.

Cooperative banking looms as big
as a battleship before Kansas banking
interests today. After a hard fight
the house at noon voted down Repre-
sentative Piper's motion to strike out
the enacting clause from the yLippert
bill which would give to the farmers
authority to establish cooperative
banks in this state. 1t is the biggest
issue before the state legislature so
far as farmer organization interests
are concerned.
Oratory on the cooperative plan
started in the house Wednesday after
noon in committee of the whole. It
was resumed with new force and fire
when the house returned to consider
alton OF the bill at the morning ses-
sion. Farmers were arrayed against
the bankers and persons interested in
conservative and established banking
policies. But the farmers had the
most votes and won.
Now Up to the Senate.
There is seemingly but one hope for
the bankers. That is defeat of the
bill in the senate. For years the CO.
operative banking bill has come reg
ularly before the state legislature,
This year, tho, the project received its
first real impetus and seems in a fair
Wdy VI Aildl passage. House action
at noon left little doubt that the bill
will come safely from committee of
the whole and will pass on third read
ing.
Under provisions of the bill as pre-
sented, sixty persons are required to
organize a cooperative bank. No
person shall own more than per cent
or the stock. The state charter board
retains the right whether a community
VIII support the bank before issuing
charter.
They Wanted Bill.
| The fact that they were confronted
with innumerable failures in co-opera-
tive business endeavors didn't disturb
Irienos or the bill in the least. The
TACT that Chairman Sawhill of the
mouse banking committee asserted that
80 per cent of the bank directors OF
the state are farmers didn't mean any
thing SO far as changing votes was
concerned. Friends of the Ijpperr
bill wanted the bill. Argument seem-
| ingly meant nothing.
! When debate finally closed, Piper
1 said he was willing to submit his mo-
ton without a closing statement. On
a viva voce vote motion to strike out
the enacting clause was clearly lost.
In fact the vote was so final and de-
| cisive that no division was asked.
Final fighting on the bill was con-
GUIDED at the afternoon session. The
measure is expected to come up for
final passage Friday.
