Shortly after he assumed power, in
October, last, he came to Rome, and
obtained a loan of 200, 100000 lire,
he then expressed a great belief in the
Italian aspirations in FEume but upon
his return to that place almost i'm
mediately incurred the enmity of the
Italian element.
Since early yesterday forces of the
Fascist, legionnaires and republicans
have been in possession of the city.
They captured the posts and tele-
graphs and before their advance the
police organized by Zanella retired to
the government palace.
Machine Guns RepuIse Attack
The government forces had as their
first line a wall enclosing the small
park in which the palace stands. They
were soon obliged to retire inside the
building Zanella's forces placed ma
chine guns on the roof of the palace
gress of their aSsailants. Deputy
Gianta, leader of the Fascist, then
captured an armored motor boat be-
longing to Italian navy in the neigh

guns opened fire against the palace.

highway commission in Topeka. I'm
der his plan county boards will deter
mine the class Of road construction
which they desire He asserts they
should not be forced. to .pay for ex-
pensiye hard surface roads when they
prefer dirt or gravel. If federal aid
cannot be secured for such roads,
Lambertson is in favor of s@cking to
the county unit system and rejecting
aid.
Under the program which Lambert
son advances the state board of ad-
ministration would be abolished, altho
the office of state business manager
would be retained. He wants the state
board composed of the governor and
two persons who would be paid on A
per diem basis for their time. Alumni
organizations from each of the state
schools would be permitted to select
an advisory member of the board who
would serve without pay.
Department of Public Welfare.
Lambertson also wants a depart
ment of public welfare which will re-
lieve the various boards, commissions
and departments of all inspection
work He would reconsolidate the
industrial court and the public utili-
ties commission. He wants powers of
the state highway commission re-
stricted and proposes consolidation Of
all livestock. horticultural and agri-
cultural organizations merged into a
state board of agriculture.
Permanent automobile funds should
be turned over to the county commits
sioners for building of dirt and
gravel roads. he believes. 'T am not
in favor of turning over Z per cent of
our road mileage or half of our
county system to~a commission in To-
peka," says his announcement.
Lambertson, who served twelve
years in the state legislature. pro-
poses that the legislature again sub
nit to the voters the proposal to
amend the state constitution to pro-
vide for classification of property for
taxation. The amendment was de-
feated in 1920.

KANSAS TO FRONT
Gain Big Place in National Al
fairs in Washington.
Governor Allen Made Wonder
full Defense of Canal Project.

Kansans are having a big place in
national affairs in Washington just
now, according to J. c. Mohler, secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture,
who returned today from the national
rivers and harborS congress. There
is a Kansan in almost every picture
of national capital life, Mofller asserts.
Not only did the state make a big
showing in Washington this week, but
Kansans have won a prominent per-
nanent place in Washington affairs.
1T looked as tho most of the Wash
ingtoTl settings were being built
around folks from Kansas" said See
retary Mohler today as he talked of
the week in the capital. Governor
Allen made wonderful speech in de-
fense of the St. Lawrence river canal
project and he more than came out
even in his debate with Governor
Miller of New York. And Governor
Miller isn't an invalid or cripple in
debate by any means.

"Then there was the hearing on

committees and arguments in the
Howat Industrial court case. They all

"Of course it wouldn't be fair to
speak of Kansans in Washington and
ignore the states delegation in con-
gress. Senator Curtis as admin.stra-
ton whip holds one of the most i'm

Decided Tone of Optimism in National
Capital, Says MuIvanc

d. w Mulvane, Republican national
committeeman for Kansas, returned to
Topeka today from Washington where
he spent a month at national commit
tee headquarters. During his stay in
Washington he was in frequent con-
ference yith party leaders regarding
1922 campaign plans in the various
states.
Early this week Mulvane called on

political-were brighter than at any
time in the last year.
There is a decided tone of optimism
in reports which are now coming from
all parts of the country" the Kansas

That applies both to business and
politics. I believe there is more
hopeful spirit in the business world
and this feeling of encoura cement is
being strongly reflected in Washing
ton"

with her husband in Washington, also
returned to Topeka today.
