NOT SO GOOD FOR FARMERS
Though McAdoo Wage Agreement
Is Fine For r. r. Employees


Is Fine For r. R. Employees
McAdoO's national agreement"
is a fine thing for railway en-
ployes, but Kansas farmers are go
ing to set up howl when they hear
what 1t is doing to them. They may
have to haul their produce to larger
towns or 60 to more distant places to
board a train, as an indirect result
of this agreement. At least two
Kansas railroads have made appli-
cation to discontinue their agents
and stations at several small
points.
lines, the first station east Of Of
tawa on the Missouri Pacific, was
the subject Of a hearing before
Judge Clyde M. Reed, Of the indus
trial court, on this question yester-
day. lines is a hamlet Of but fifty
two persons. During the hay and
grain shipping seasons freight snip
ments from that station amount to
as much as $1,000 a month, 1t was
shown in testimony before the court.
This dwindles during the dull
to as low as $26, the low
est figure mentioned by company
officials on the stand. Passenger
business at the little station amounts
70 $40 to $50 a month.

KYLE VOTED AGAINST GRAB
Was One Of Two Legislators Wht
OppOsod Postage Graft


When the grab Of $3.50 for the
Legislators under the guise Of post
age" came up In the senate Senator
Kyle OF Dickinson county opposed It.
Says the State Journal:
Senator Kyle, Of Dickinson coun-
| ty, strenuously objected to having
another $50 given to him, in the
same session. The final bill giving
the senators $25 each for postage
and $25 for telegraph expenses,
came up for consideration. Senator
Kyle said he thought he had receiv-
ed his postage stamp money at the
beginning Of the session.
Senator Snyder, chairman Of the
ways and means committee, which
introduced the bill, said this was
some more Of the same. Senator Kyle
couldn't see 1t, and when the bill
came to vote, he voted against 1t,
as did Johnson Of Mcpherson. The
rest of the senators were quite will
ing to accept, however, since their
pay stopped March q"
uOOu lOT hylc. IL SCCho otAohSS
that all but two men in the legisla-
ture would stand for taking $24, 900
for their own pockets under the
guise of postage" in one 50-day
session. Since Jan. 1, 1919, the ap-
thus made for the MEM
bers amounts now to some 100000,
all coming out of the pockets of the
Representative Lamb has
in the past two sessions and the
special session drawn 1915 for
postage" and his committee in the
house originated the two bills which
gave first 800 and now $50 each
for this session. Senator Kyle did
his duty and showed that he has |
sense Of what is decent and deserves
credit for his action. If Gov. Allen
approves the appropriation 1t will be
paid. His right course is to veto It.
The postage grab system started
in the 1919 session; before that $40
to SIS each was appropriated, which
was far more than any member used
and was somewhat criticised. But
now the gates are down right.
If Senator Kyle will make good
his bluff and refuse to accept any
money in excess of what he actually
spends for postage he will be a
mighty popular man In Dickinson.
