More Than Half
On Bonus Paid

Pierre, Feb ia little over
$3,0OO,000 bonus money has been
paid out to date, and the cases yet
to be passed upon are practically all
such as will require more or less
investigation. before the final pay
ments are made.
This situation is not unnatural to
anyone accustomed to asking for in
formation of forms sent out. One
hundred blank forms sent to busi-
ness men over the state will as a
rule show that at least half of them
have failed to answer some particu-
lar request or only partially filled
the forms sent, and when these are
sent out to boys not accustomed to
legal requirements it is not at all
strange that many of them should
fail to fill out all which is required
to secure a bonus.
Many of the claims lack some one
form or one requirement, and as fast
as these can be filled out and return
ed the payments will go out, but
some of them will require consider
able work before they are in such
shape that payment would be war
ranted on the showing made.

Southeast Kansas Methodist Conference
Opened In Liberal Last Tuesday Ezg,1ing
CITY COUNCIL REFUSED
THE GAS FRANCHISE
Every Member Voted That Franchise
, be Not Allowed-No Discussion
Was Participated In

Liberal is no nearer securing ma
tural gas for heating than at any
time within the past two years, the
city council at the Tuesday evening
session, having rejected the applica-
tion of the McQuigg Investment
Company for franchise for supply
ing the city with natural gas.
The Democrat is of the opinion
that the council acted trifle hastily
in this matter, and the time for Sc
curing information was too short.
This paper is in favor of granting
this franchise and it is our opinion
that it is as good proposition as we
will get, and while we are not in
clined to quarrel with the council,
we cannot agree with them in this
matter.
The granting of franchise is
matter for sober and deliberate
thought and investigation. 1t is too
weighty problem to be dismissed so
lightly, and the arguments for, are
equally as strong as those against,
at this time.
There is quite bit of dissatisfac-
ton over the hasty decision of the
council, and already candidate is
being gropmed to make the race in
the first ward on "For the Fran
chise platform" and other wards are
considering the advisability of fol-
lowing suit.
Just what the outcome will be can
not be predicted. The present coun-
ell has given a good business admin
istration, and it is unfortunate that
this difference of opinion has arisen
so insistently that it may disrupt the
usually smooth trend of city adminis-
tration.
The thing which is hardest to over
come in connection with the fran
chise proposition That the council dld
not go on record as being opposed
for any specific reason. A counter
proposal, suggestions for modifying
or changing the franchise would have
kept the matter alive and probably
assisted in arriving at some sort of
conclusion.
