Farmers' Alliance Fails to Reform Kansas Legislature
In Topeka on March 11 the Kansas Legislature wrapped up debate on many measures as-adjournment nears. The Farmers' Alliance pushed for radical reforms but left without achieving them. Key bills blocked include railway freight cuts, mortgage tax, appraisal waivers, and official salary reductions. Passed were funding for the Kansas exhibit at the World’s Fair, extended foreclosure judgment time, arid land irrigation, forestry stations, pest control experiments, and limits on alien land ownership. State appropriations likely cut about 200000 to fit Alliance fiscal aims. Three investigations proceed into a dynamite plot, State House Commission activity, and Judge Botkin’s impeachment, totaling about 150000 in cost.
