THE HOTEL PROPOSITION.

1t is almost unanimous. Every
body in Topeka, including the
present hotel people, says we need n
large new modern fireproof hotel.
The latter would bring more patrons
to the city for all hotels and all mer-
chants. The only obstacles at present
are the raising of the necessary funds
to build the hotel and the determine
tion of the site.
A hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars was paid in by prominent Topeka
citizens on the understanding that the
location was fixed at Kansas avenue
and Ninth street. The new PROPOSE
ton considers other sites at Seventh
and jackson and Kansas avenue and
Fifth and other corners. The new
project contemplates the selection of
the site by the holders of the common
stock, the decision of the trustees, the
architect and the lessee.
The State Journal believes the site
at Kansas avenue and Ninth the best
of any. 1t is available for good nee
essary ground rentals in the heart of
business. 1t has large south expos
ure, is a high and commanding spot,
is beautifully located facing toward
the state house .and Santa Fe offices
and will always be a prime business
center.
Still it is not the province of The
State Journal to be narrow nor op-
pose the proposition, because there is
not in it an agreement to accept the
Ninth street location, altho there arc
many who say they will not subscribe
| until they know the location and who
believe the site should be settled first.
The paramount. outstanding neces-
sity, is large modern hotel.
Let us raise the money and hope the
site selected will be the best one for
the city. its patrons and the revenue.

OUT AFTER vACS
Governor Allen to Clear Harvest
Fields of Disturbers.
Persons Who Refuse to Work
Will Go to Jail.

Instructions for enforcement of the
vagrancy act in the Kansas wheat
fields were issued today by the indus
trial court and attorney generals Of
flee as a result of instructions from
Governor Allen The vagFancy act
state law permitting Imprisonment
in county jails for persons who refuse
to accept employment-will be en-
forced in an effort to rid the wheat
districts of agitators and disturbers.
Was Used During War.
During the war period the vagrancy
act was employed against the Nom
partisan League and 1. w. W., as well
as harvest field idlers. AS a result of
the drive, thru cooperation of state
and federal departments, the Nom
partisan League was reported to have
this year instructed field men to stay
out of the harvest districts.
Reports from Wichita, Hutchinson
Salina, and other towns indicated eX-
tensive unemployment. There were
also reports of entrance of disturbers
in the ranks of the workers. In con-
sequence the state today prepared to
make an active drive against the un-
employed and to round up agitators
and disturbers in all labor centers.

The conferences here between Lord

A CORRECTION.

T. B. Garrett, of the Topeka Indus
trial council. calls the attention of
The State Journal to a glaring error
in its headlines. This in connection
with the annual meeting of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor at Denver
last week. The headline stated that
the membership report of the unions
showed "a million less in good stand
ing than in 1920" This error was en-
tirely unintentional and grew out Of
the fact that in the telegram 1t was
stated "the Denver meeting finds the
federation short of the rallying cry
by 1.o93,47s members" This. of
course. is far different from the ac-
tuaI loss of g. million members.
Mr.. Garrett states that the report
of Frank Morrison. secretary of the
Federation of Labor. shows there
were fewer paid up members than a
year ago by $4,000.
The State Journal regrets the error
and takes this method of making the
correction.
The report of Secretary Morrison
as printed in the dispatches and pup-
lished IN both The Topeka State Jour
nal and Topeka Capital. showed the
membership of the federation to be
3.906.52S as compared with 4.0s7.740
in 1920. While this shows a larger
falling off than Mr.. CARROTS figures
give. it is far different from the loss
of a million.
| The State Journal. however, printed
the following explanation in its orig
inal telegram from Denver:
"Altho the report showed a de-
7; crease in membership in the fedora
| ton during last year. union leaders
/ claimed that there had been an actual
| increase in all classes of members
| Men out of work are not obliged tc
pay dues and are not counted as pay
ing members. Also the suspension OF
the maintenance of way railway
union, with 300, 900 members, cut into
the total membership"

1.-The zoning of a city will help pub
lie morals, it will contribute to public
health, as well as stabilize property
values, protect the rich mans home
and the humber homes, and make the
city more attractive" McDermott said.
Five zones are mapped out in a gen
eral way in cities where the plan Is
adopted, McDermott pointed out.
The five districts are:
Residential district or one family
homes.
Apartment house district.
Commercial district.
Light factory district
Unrestricted district.
It Is probable that Topeka's city
planner and zoner will outline such
districts in Topeka.
