Senate and House Push Work With Vim in Kansas
The Senate is down to business and pushing work with vim while the House also toils. Bills are being digested, calendars fill, and few new measures are introduced as committees rush reports. The Temperance Bill mishap involving Senator Denton sparks chatter, yet his loyalty is affirmed. The Public Utilities and Stocks and Bonds bills face strong opposition as administration measures, and tax rules favor electric rail plans. The House stabilizes, commission-government push advances, and four cities set votes on the reform in two weeks. Governor Stubbs says legislators pursue party pledges amid impatient critics.
