may TEST WAR FINANCE ACT
Friendly Suits May Be Filed to De-
termine Rights of Bankers.

Friendly suit may be filed to de-
termine rights of Kansas state banks
10 participate in distribution of farm
relief funds of the war finance cor
poratlon. The plan was proposed to-
day by Frank II. Foster state bank
commissioner, in event modification of
rules by the finance corporation did
not give the Kansas banks a clear op-
portunity to use the fund.
Foster has ruled that Kansas state
banks may borrow money from the
finance corporation on their own mo-
ton furnishing the 20 per cent addi-
uonal collateral required under the
corporations ruling. This plan. he
explained, would avoid the technical
tty in the state banking laws which
prohibit banks furnishing additional
collateral with rediscounted notes
The idea. tho does not seem to meet
with general or enthusiastic response
from the state bankers.
An early statement from the war
finance corporation is expected. If
IL does not tend to relieve the pres
ent situation, plans may be worked
out for an early test case in the state
courts

in WAGE SURVEY
Hearing Before Industrial Court
Attracts Much Attention.
Many Topeka Employers win
Oppose New Proposal.

Minimum wage surveys of the well
fare department were defended before
the industrial court today in testi-
mony by. Miss Mary Mcfarland, head
of the division. Miss Mcfarland con-
tended that a wage of not less than
1888 a week was required by the
Topeka girl who was compelled to
live on her earnings.
The hearing which opened today
has attracted much attention among
employers. employees and welfare
workers. Most of the day is likely to
be spent in introduction of testimony
by the welfare division of the indus
trial court which made the recent sur
vey with a view of fixing a new mini
mum wage for women. The testimony
of Miss Mcfarland covered various
lines of employment and discussed in
detail wages. hours and working con-
ditions in the department stores in
dustrial plants and various trades and
industries.
Room Cost $40 Per Week.
In her budget for the working girl
Miss Mcfarland included in her esti-
$40 a week for room rent, $685. a
week for board and 1891 a week for
clothing. Sundries absorbed the bal
ance of the 1858 necessary expense.
Miss Mcfarland believes the work
ing girl should include in her neces-
sary expenses subscription for daily
newspaper, $10.40 year for church
and charity and premiums on $500
twenty pay life insurance. Her aver
age working girl would spend $172.3S
year for clothing, including one suit
to cost $30.19.
Numerous Topeka employers will
take the stand in opposition to Miss
McFarland's wage proposal. A con-
siderable number of the higher sal
aired working girls-fearing the high
minimum will tend to reduce oppor-
tunities for promotion and advance
ment-will also oppose the scale. On
the other hand many girls will tell the
court that an increase in the wage
minimum is needed.
Hearings have already been held in
a number of towns. The Associated
Industries is leading the fight for sew
eral hundred employers who object to
the minimum wage increase. The To
peka hearing may continue several

TO URGE ECONOMY
Taxpayers League TIC Hold
State Meeting March 8.
Candidates for Office May Be
Called on Carpet.
DR.. FAULKNER Is CHAIRMAN
Are Not Trying To Tear Down
Any Institutions.
May Recommend Abolition of
Some State Boards.

Definite and specific demands as to
puJiic economies may be made by the
taxpayers league when 1t holdS d
statewide convention here March 3.
The league also promises to call can
didates for office on the carpet at an
early date and make demands as to
lust the policies they would adopt in
office. League officers declare en-
phatically that while they want TO cur
down public expenses. they have no
desire to cripple public institutions
altho they will favor abolition OF a
number of boards and commission
possibly including the industrial court.
DR.. J. T. Faulkner of LeaVenworth
state chairman of the league, is par
ticularly anxious to establish the UNI
derstanding that the organization is
not trying TO tear down necessary state
Institutions. This is especially true,
he says, with reference to schools.
Not Trying to Tear Down.
I'VE are not trying to tear down our
institutions" said Doctor Faulkner.
I'VE are trying to go into this matter
in a sane, serious, sober manner. We
don't want to hurt an institution. On
the other hand we want a little care
and caution in the reckless spending
of public funds. There seem to be too
many junket FPS and too many fat
contingent funds for state officials"
Norton A. Turner. state auditor,
was uEEeQ 10 speak before the state
convention. He has declined the in
vitation. but has promised to furnish
any possible information regarding
state expenses. Turner said he did
not believe. it was eXpedient for him
10 talk before the league.
Radicals Not in Control.
Doctor Faulkner and other heads
OF the league have been very anxious
to impress upon the public that the
rad cal element will not be in control
of the organization. He asserts the
league will go into the tax question in
a constructive manner.
We may recommend the abolition
OF certain boards and consolidation

tend to interfere with the proper op-
Grafton of either state or local govern

he asked TO publicly explain their at
titude regarding certain depart
ments."
Heads OF the league have failed to
present any definite policy affecting
the industrial court. Radical mem
bers Of the league favor repeal of the
law. The question of a definite state
mont affecting the labor court will
doubtless come up for considera ton
during the meeting here next week.

Tells Strides Made Recently in
Modern School House Building.

Tells Strides Made Recently in
Modern School House Building.
Chicago, Feb. 2s.-The last of Amer
ica's little red school houses are fast
disappearing.
In their places are springing up
snappy, modern structures, the very
best the small communities can af-
ford. For, according to Randall j.
Condor, superintendent of schools of
Cincinnati, Ohio, a new era of school
building is under way in the United
States.
1t is the most extensive and elabor-
ate program of school construction
ever attempted. involving the ex-
penditure of millions upon millions of
dollars and covering the big cities as
well as the rural communities.
Mr.. Condor, one of the 5000 edu-
Gators in attendance at the conven-
ton of the National Education asso-
citation, is in charge of the school ar
chitecture building and equipment ex-
hibition.
AS an illustration of how far reach
ing the building program is, Mr.. Con-
don pointed to the fact that the COM
munity of Bull, Mimi, with a popu-
lation of only 2,10O, is erecting a
$500 school structure.
Most big communities. he said, have
a school building program ranging
from 100000 to $10.0O0.0O0.
