Topeka, Kas., May 4.—tf'reak legislation did not play as prominent a role in the Kansas legislative ses sion, just ended, as has been the cus tom heretofore, party leaders assert. Several measures of this nature, how ever, furnished the legislators with occasional diversion. One in particular, calling for auto mobile tags on front, rear and sides of cars, reached a stage where it was amended to Include also tags on ths 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 num ber of the license as the car passes over him." A bill calling for a pension for farm ers also elicited Jocund treatment. The original bill, Introduced by a far mer provided for pensions up to $50 a month for both men and women, the minimum being $10 a month for those residing on farms 10 years! $30 fop 20 years and $60 for 30 years or more. One senator, also a farmer, amended this to make the pensioii 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 pre sented a resolution endorsing Henry Ford for president, but the Repub lican majority of the state affairs committee remodeled it to read "War ren G. Harding," instead of Ford, and recommended It for passage. C C B elder? \V. Palmer, Emma Johnson, Blanche Sedgwick, H. J. Gillespie, Helen Ehlers, J. A. I^adek and Erancis Dill man. 1'. of C.
