Those Who Did Not Vote in November
Election Must Sign Up.

istered soon. At least everybody who
desires to vote in the spring election
should have his eligibility on the reg

Eta Covell, city clerk, before March
Is. And 'Fido" should be registered
on the dog tax list before March 80,
or his tag will cost two dollars instead
Of one dollar.
"Only fifty-seven dog taxes have
been paid this year" Miss Alice Pey-
ton, registration clerk, said today.
Topeka paid 1853 dog taxes last year.
wouldn't it be a good plan for those
who register to pay their dog taxes
at the same timer"
Those who did not vote in Novem-
Der must register for the spring city
election. Having voted in the last
spring election does not make a citizen
eligible to vote this spring. Only a
few persons have registed SO far, Miss
Covell said. The registration books

De called at o'clock.
Grant, star performer for the Col
iege of Emporia, will make his first
appearance of the basketball season to
the Topeka fans tonight. The last
time Grant was before the Topeka
fans, he ran thru a broken field thirty
five yards for touchdown in the Col
lege of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES football
game last fall. Grant is doped for a
position on this years al1-state five,
and his performance tonight, if up to
par, will be worth the price.
Since their last game with Wash
burn. won by the Ichabods with a safe
margin, the Emporia men have Inn
proved greatly, it is said. Tonight's
race will be fast, but the Blues are
slated to take over the large end of
the final tally. With Brewster, crack
guard for the Ichabods, watching the
C. of E. players tonight, it is expected
that a minimum number of goals will
be credited to Grant.

truck of that size, in the avowed hope
that it would be prohibitive.
Senator Thompson, of Marion
county, wanted to know what the bill
would do for the heavy trucks which
leave Kansas City, Mo-, where they
trips over the state, doing heavy dam
age to the roads, and paying not a
cent of revenue because they are own
ed in Missouri.
Kyle Makes a Plea.
Now, let's don't amend this bill
too much" Senator Kyle, in charge of
the bill, said in answer. After whis-
pered consultation with Representa-
tive Jones he informed the senator
from Marion county that there was a
bill being considered in the house road
committee, which would look after the
trucks from outside the state, indie
pendent of the bill under considera-
ton this morning. The senator from
Marion passed the question.
I'VE don't have that bill ready yet
it isn't, prepared. and it will depend
entirely ON whether this bill passes,
Representative Jones, said at the noon
recess.

are none too bright in the senate. The
good roads enthusiasts, disguised with
the results of the legislation for state
aid which have already passed the
senate, are against 1t, preferr1ng to see
the entire proposition let alone, rather
than to see a huge fund collected from
the automobile owners and placed in
the hands OF the county officials, to
be spent in dragging roads or in
building on unco-ordinated.. haphaz-
ard set of roads on a unit of counties
rather than on a unit of the state as a
whole.
The Howard amendment cutting the
rate down is almost sure of passage in
the senate. The message from the
house this morning was to the effect
that that body would wait and see
what the senate did with the bill be-
fore taking it up.

DO NOT FAVOR INCOME TAX
State Law Will Not Have Much
Chance In Senate.

State income taxes haven't much
chance of getting by the state senate.
tho the house is considering an in
come tax measure
Senator Laing, of Russell county,
on taxation, and he and his committee
are not in favor of any income tax.
Judging from the letters that I
receive. some people in some parts OF
the state seem to be troubled with an
untimely furry of excitement over
what they call a proposed state in
come tax bill" said Senator Laing
this morning.
Outlines of such a bill came into
the possession of the senate commit
tee on taxation for their considera-
ton early in the session, but the COM
mittee decided that it would neither
introduce this as a committee meas
ure OF recommend it for passage at
this session.
eve are of the opinion that a reason
able tax on incomes (over and above
a suitable exemption). is very just
and equitable method of raising part
of the necessary revenue of the state,
but we did not, and do not at this
time feel that the people are ready for
any legislation that will require much
the same attention as that of the pres
ent complicated federal income tax
law.
There has been such bill intro
duced in the house. This has no con-
nection with the bill introduced in the
house relating to a tax on mining pro-
ducts and other natural deposits.

UhFAVORABLE FOR WHEAT
Severe Wind Storms Damaged Crop
in Some Sections, Says Report of
State Board of Agriculture.

Weather conditions during the week
just closed have been unfavora BILE for
the best growth of wheat in sections
where the larger acreages were sown
last fail, says the weekly report issued
today by J. c. Mohler, secretary of
the state board of agriculture.
Severe wind storms were the rule
during three or four days and soil
blowing was especially pronounced in
Rush, Ellis and surrounding counties
The soil is very loose in this part of
the state and heavy rains or snow are
needed to pack the ground and pro-
tect the root hold of the wheat in that
section. In the southwest the soil is
also reported as loose on top and high
winds would do much damage. Ex-
cept in the extreme northwest the
ground is commencing to get dry and
the top soil Is deficient in moisture in
central Kansas. Rain would be of
great benefit to all growing crops.
During the past week there was a
trace of rain and snow in the east
central and in the northwestern parts
Of the state, but it did not extend thru
the state in q general way. Tempera-
lures have been mild and everything
speaks of spring. Fruit buds are
much too far advanced for this time
of year and If cold weather comes Sc
we're damage may result.
Flowing is being carried on in all
sections and oats are being sowed rap
idly, especially in the eastern third of
Kansas. In the southeast it is esti-
mated that from so to rs per cent of
the sowing of this crop is completed
1t is expected that few small patches
of potatoes will be planted in the Kaw
valley during the coming week if
weather conditions remain favorable.
the growers hoping that freezing
weather may not make its appearance
to any extent from now on.
Much interest in alfalfa growing is
reported and in the central counties
there are indications that a consider
able area will be sown to the crop this
spring. Farmers are also greatly in
terested in marketing plans as promul-
gated by the farm organizations, with
the hope of a more stable market for
the crop of 1921.

NO TRACE BANDITS
Complete Getaway for Men
Who Held Up Steinbergs.
Mrs. Steinberg Saved Rings
Judge Mcclure, Rescuer.

Police today were trying to locate
four men who early Sunday morning
held. up Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Stein
berg in front of their home at 11eS
College avenue. getting away with two
diamond rings totaling about 800 IN
value. Mrs. Steinberg saved four other
rings by throwing them upon the
ground when the men approached.
Z The robbery was one OF the most
daring in Topeka in years. Mr.. and
Mrs. Steinberg were coming home from
the dance hall about midnight. AS
they alighted from their car in front
of their home, another car pulled up
beside them. -Four masked men leaped
out. Two seized Steinberg and the
other two seized his wife. Steinberg
broke away from his captors and ran
west across the street to summon help.

Judge James A. Mcclure. who lives
at 1851 Mulvane street, across the
alley from the Steinberg home, had
just retired. Hearing the woman s
screa'-'s. he looked out the window
and saw Mrs. Steinberg struggling
with two men. Hastily pulling on his
trousers and picking up his revolver,
he ran across the alley, 'barefooted,
The bandits, probably startled by the
light flashed on in Judge McClure's
room and hearing Mrs. Mcclure
scream, jumped into the auto and sped
away northward on College avenue.
Judge Mcclure fired one shot after
them, but they had gotten out of
| range. The car turned east OF
Eleventh street and doubled back
south on Mulvane street at high
speed.

BARN DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Structure at Home of L. It. Jacobs
