BEER FOR BONUS
Michigan Congressman Pre-
pares New Bill for Congress.
Says Veterans Should Get
Money Taken by BOOtleggers.

Washington, Nov "A bill to
legalize and place per cent tax on
beer and light wines to be used in
defraying the cost of a soldiers bonus
has been drafted by Representative
Brennan, Republican, Michigan, and
will be presented to congress, he an
nounced today, as soon as the Ameri-
can Legion convention at Kansas City
has acted on the bonus question.
He declares that for the last two
years the revenue which rightfully
should have flowed into the Golfers of
Uncle Sam has been collected by boot
leggers and rum runners
Representative Brennan predicted
that under the recent regulations per-
mitting medical use of beer oceans"
of it will be manufactured and sold
for purposes other than strictly
medicinal
Many students of the prohibition
question:" he said, predict that me-
dicinal beer is only a forerunner to a
return of beverage beer and light
wines If this be so, why should not
the step be taken at once and the
enormous revenue flowing from this
source be applied to paying the SOL
dier bonus?
Estimating that from fifty to seven
ty million barrels of beer would be
consumed annually, a tax of IS to $40
a barrel would be sufficient without
including light wine revenues to
finance an adjusted compensation

TO REOPEN FEUD
Days of Strategy for Kansas
Teachers Association.
Miss Wooster Will Not Appear
on Any Programs.

The opening of the annual conven-
ton of the Kansas State Teachers as
sociation means the reopening of the
feud-mCre or less genteel-between
the members of the association and
the state superintendent of education.
These are the days of strategy, and
some of the finest points of the game
are brought out in the controversy.
For the first time in the history of
the fifty-eight annual conventions of
the association, Miss Lorraine Eliza
beth Wooster. state superintendent of
instruction, will not appear on the pro
gram of the convention-either of the
sixteen general sessions, the twenty
departmental meetings or the one hun
dred round tables
She Will Take No Part.
Miss Wooster has not seemed to care
whether she appeared on the program
or whether She did not, and has con-
sistently opposed the work of the as
sociatfon, the officers of the organiza-
ton state, in explaining why her name
is absent. 1t is asserted that in Janu-
airy, 1919, the year after her election.
she appeared at the annual meeting of
the council of administration and
threw down the gauntlet 1t is also
asserted that she has attempted to
form a rival organization. and has en-

years. before the state charter board,

The resolutions which have been
proposed for adoption by the teach
ers in their annual convention are si-
lent this year in regard to the state
superintendent and the state depart
ment of education.
Call for Executive Meetings.
The state superintendent is not pas

From her office there has been issued
a call for executive meetings of the
county superin at each of the
four cities in which sections of the
convention are to meet, during the
convention.

heads are deeply interested in what is
to transpire at these meetings. The

City Water Department CeI-

Increase Due to Efficiency in
Collections, Says StanfieId.

The month of October, just passed,
has shown the greatest number of ap-
plications for permits for the installa-
ton of city water, in the history of the
city water department. Forty-four per-
mits for water connections were issued
during the month.
A set of comparative figures. show
ing the receipts of the department for
each October since 1917, shows that
there has been a steady growth each
year, the receipts mounting from So
5O2.30 in October, 1917, to $19, 9,914.45
during the month just past
The receipts during the month Just
passed, for each year, were as fol-
lows: 1917, $9,5O2.3O; 1918, s11.-
79118; 1919, $15,710.46; 1920, $16,-
214.3S; 1921, $19,914.45.
Pump No More Water.
A feature of the record, according
TO Wilbur Stanfield, city water and
electric light commissioner, is the fact
that the city is not using any more
water today than it did four years ago.
The entire growth in receipts is
due to the fact that the water which
is used is being collected for, and the
fact that no more water is being
pumped today is due to the careful
overhauling of the equipment and the
stopping of leaks which formerly made

Not ANXIOUS TO COMPETE

1.-THE city light plant does not wish
to enter into competition with the To-
peka Edison company but if the Edi-
son company is not able to meet the
demands of Topeka power users for
electrical current, I suppose the city
plant is at the service of the people
Of the city to supply the deficiency.
This statement was made today by
W. A. Stanfield, city commissioner of
water and light, in response to di-
rect question as to just what the city
plant could do in relieving an electri-
cal power shortage alleged to exist,
according to the industrial committee
of the Chambe- of Commerce.
Stanfield declared that city power
already is being furnished to several
private consumers of power, tho in
each instance the consumer is receiv
ing the Juice at the city limits and is
conveying it over his own power line
to the point of use outside of the city
limits. The meter is located at the
point of delivery at the city limits.
Stanfield also declared that several
applications from nearby cities are on
file with his department, the towns
asking the privilege of buying electri-
cal energy from the city at the Topeka
city limits and conducting it to their
users over their own transmission
It was this condition that brought
from Stanfield the statement that this
excess power which Topeka can pro-
duce and sell should be first available
to Topeka consumers of power if the
Edison company does not or cannot
furnish ample. power to meet all de-
mands.

Only one case of diphtheria was re-

"Infantile paralysis has reached an

if we do not have a good deal of it
here. We know that some OF the
cases which have been reported to US
