Just to show that this governing

go back n little in golf history. Sup
pose for Instance. that the guilty
ball had not been permitted to take
the place OF the old feather ball?
suppose that the rubber-corcd ball

1t is lucky for the game that the

The march to the Southland has be-

To Be Heard Feb. 6.

With the increased demand of pub

tention largely to questions of service.
A survey of telephone service has
been under way for some time and
Standardization of such service will

tolls has been set for hearing Febrl-

line service on the Santa Fe, NJ. K. &

roads has been ordered, with hearings
beginning February Ii.
The utilities commission is now
nearer up with its work than for sew
eral years, according to R. A. Deilin-
ger, secretary. The commission in
herited 1877 cases from the old indus
trial court which became separate
body March IT, 1921. During the re-
mainder of the year 474 cases were
filed. A total of 5S3 cases were dis
posed of up to January l, leaving only
80 pending.

creased rates, cities are now petition

Changes in House Act.
Provides Commission of Five
To Refund Allied Loans.
INTEREST CLAUSES ELIMINATED
Democrats Staged Battle for
Semi Annual Payment.
Secretary of Treasury To Be
Chairman of Board.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The foreign
debt funding bill providing for the
creation of a commission of five, head
ed by the secretary of the treasury, to
arrange the terms under which foreign
nations will repay the $1,000, 900, 900
borrowed during the war, was favor
ably reported to the senate by ma
jority vote of the senate finance COM
mittee.
In the face of Democratic opposi-
lion, the provision making mandatory
the semi-annual payment of interest,
was stricken out. The provision stipu-
lating that the rate of interest to be
fixed, be not less than 5 per cent, was
also stricken out.
Objectionable Clauses Out.
These were the provisions against
which the treasury objected on the
ground that hey would handicap the
administration in the refunding nego-
uations with the foreign governments
Under these provisions interest pay
ments would have fallen due within
six months after the refunded bonds
had been negotiated whereas the treas
ury desired to have the authority to
defer interest payment in the case of
some countries not in a position to be-
gin making those payments within
possibly year or two.
Very Few Changed.
The provision limiting the life of
the bonds to be accepted from the for
eign governments to rs years re-
mained in the bill, but otherwise the
measure practically is as approved by
the house
1t sets up a commission with au-
thority subject to the approval of the
president to refund or convert and to
extend the time of payment of the
principal or the interest or both of
any obligation of any foreign govern
ment now owing to the United States
on account of the world war. =

ton by the senate.

in TAX PROTEST
Representatives From Northern
Kansas Meet in LeavenwOrth.
May Call State Wide COnven-
tiOn To Take Action.

Counties in northern and northeast
ern Kansas which have formed tax
payers leagues to protest against high
tax levies will send delegates to a con-
ference at Leavenworth Tuesday. The
Leavenworth meeting will consider
cali for a statewide convention to
take action against increasing cost of
local and state government. The
Leavenworth meeting was called for
the purpose of uniting counties in the
First and Second district which have
gone on record against tax increases
Plans for the 1eavenworth meeting
were laid several days ago during "a
meeting of the Better Government
league of Leavenworth. They extend
ed invitations to counties in the Leav-
enworth district or accessible by rail
to attend the conference Tuesday. The
Leavenworth meeting is the second
general tax protest in the state, altho
many local meetings have been held
in small towns and county seats.
May Hold State Convention.
It is quite probable that at an early
date a call will be issued for a general
state convention representing all tax
payers organizations in the state. Ac-
cording to reports received in Topeka
more than forty counties have already
organized in protest against the 50
per cent increase in the state tax levy
and the heavy increase in local taxes
in many communities.
Practically all of the counties in the
First congressional district, except
Shawnee, have organized tax leagues.
Counties of Leavenworth- Jefferson,
Atchison, Brown and Jackson will
scnd delegates to Tuesdays meeting,
according to reports. 1t is also stated
that efforts are to be made to organ
ize in Shawnee county.
Saturday an organization was COM
pleted in Emporia and Lyon county.
the home of william Allen White.
Lyon county commissioners reduced
the amount of their taxes in 1921, but
the local organization was formed in
protest against generally high public
expenses.
Should a state convention be held
to protest against taxes. the meeting
will likely be held in Topeka or Salina.
