The commission does not have
many condemnation cases, he says,
but the fact that the commission has
the power to condemn usually makes
condemnation unnecessary and en-

kANSANS ENJOY DEBATES
ON FREAK LEGISLATION

TOPEKA, KAS.. Apr. 2S.-Freak
legislation did not play as prominent
a role in the Kansas legislative ses-
sion. just ended. as has been the GUS
. tom heretofore, party leaders assert.
Several measures OF this nature, how
ever. furnished the legislators with
occasional diversion.
One I'm particular, calling for auto
mobile tags on front. rear and sides
OF cars. reached a stage where it was
amended 10 include also tags on the
top and bottom, before the enacting
clause was stricken out. Some OF the
statesmen argued that THE tag on
top would aid air police in bandit
chases, and every car should carry a
tag on the under side so that a victim,
when run down, may read the number
OF the license as the car passes over
him"
A bill calling for a pension for
farmers also elected jocund treat
ment. The original bill, introduced
by farmer. provided for pensions up
TO $50 month for both men and wo
men, the minimum being $40 a month
for those residing on farms ten years !;
$50 for twenty years, and $50 for
thirty years or more. One Senator
also a farmer, amended this to make
the pension payable only to farmers
with corns on both hands and
bunions on both feet" The measure
was killed In the Senate agricultural
committee.
A democratic representative pres
ented resolution endorsing Henry
Ford for President, but the Repubh
can majority OF the state affairs com
mittee remodeled II to read "Warrer
G. Harding" instead of Ford, and rec.
commended II for passage.
