WICKED WICHITA

The Kansas City KANSAS Gazette thinks
much better of the Metropolitan police law
! than does the Wichita EAGLE. The Ga
| zette winds up a sensible article on the
subject with the following bit OF phllo-
! sophy: Those who behave themselves
never know what system they are under
! Fl Scott Monitor.
! Close I'D to the nlourners' BENCH and
in the same spirit, the Pharisee reared
himself back on his hind legs and in
suited God Almighty with just that
same racket. What has Wichita ever
done that she should be served differently
than Atchison Or Topeka: Hasn't she,
notwithstanding her youth, built more
educational institutions, more churches
and more hospitals than any two Other
cities in the state, and does she not sup
port themat her own expense? Does she
not give twice over in charity every year
what is given by any other city in Kansas:
There are some great charitable and edu-
cational institutions in other cities Of
Kansas. but every one of them are sup
ported by the state treasury, into
which treasury, besides keeping up her
own charities, Wichita pays more money
annually than any other city of the
state. 1t is fact, and probably known
to few people in Wichita but neverthe-
less fact, that some of these old towns
of Kansas which are supposed to be SO
much better than Wichita, have been
having their private charities sustained
for years ont Of the state treasury. They
get up com binations and in face of the
constitution of the state and Of the
United States and of all court prece-
dents, force Kansas legislatures to make
appropriations in the interest Of denomi-
national institutions, in the name Of pub
lie charity.
Wichita no doubt is as vet viewed as q
publican and sinner. and as standing a
long way off, but notice is served here
by, as it has been served heretofore, that
the time is soon coming when this Wich-
tia publican is going to crowd the mourn
ers. going to lay hold on the very horns
of the altar and do some kicking that
will be matter of establishment to ali
pharisees and hypocrites.

Kansas City Times.

Kansas City Times
The east has been trying TO agitate it.
self over the ability of Kansas farmers
TO pay their mortgaged Indebtedness.
The east has right TO concern itself
with the question, since it has furnished
much of the money for the loans, but
the men who furnished the money are
not the ones who are most agitated.
They investigated the chances before
they invested and they feel comfortable
enough. They know they are IN far better
situation than their friends who own Bal
timore & Ohio, Pennsylvania or Reading
railroad stocks. They know they are at
least as well situated as most OF the own
ers of any other staple investment. The
men who are afraid that Kansas farmers
cannot pay off their mortgages are those
who are interested in booming other in
yestmentS.
Farming in Kansas is very different
from farming in Massachusetts. The
fertility of the soil cannot be exhausted
by this generation. A big crop has three
times as much for the profit account as
similar crop in the east. because the
heavy expenditure for fertilizers Is saved
and the purchase price for land is much
less. The rate of profit is probably greater
than in any other state, because cuitlva-
ton costs the minimum, markets are not
distant, the soil and climate permit re-
sort to all crops and stock raising, and
the remarkable fertility of the land al
lows more steady cropping.
The Times has not hesitated 10 dwell
on the unequal tax laws which give the
east too much control of the money
~
knows that, though the burden
will be felt, Kansas will very surely
paw its mortgaged indebtedness. The
productive capacity of the state is far in
advance of the accruing obligations.
Land values will be further in advance
Of the land liens all the time. 1t would
be difficult to find more absolute secur-
ity that first mortgage on Kansas
farm placed upon 40 per cent basis. II
the farmer whose land is pledged for
such debt, cannot, through few bad
crops or other contingencies, meet the
obligation, he will have no difficulty IN
renewing. for the superiority Of the Sc
curity has been thoroughly demonstrated
TO the world, and the money which has
grown shy of corporate mismanage-
mens will seek this form OF in
vestment where the basis Of value is al
WAYS open TO inspection. The farmer cen
not keep false books or initiate his assets,
for the season and the condition OF his
land tell to the world exactly what he IS
doing. There is no fear Of not getting
money enough to carry as long as he de-
sIres a reasonable mortgage.
What the Times has always insisted
upon IS not that the state viii ever de
fault or trouble its creditors, but only
that it would not have 50 many creditors.
if the tax laws were revised In
the interest of the west. The two ideas
are as far apart as the poles Kansas
land will always be one Of the best pos
sible securities for loans

which the Times alludes, but which the
EAGLE has been talking for nearly sew
enteen years. And it hasn't been seven
teen years, nor ten, since the st. Louis
papers were making fun of the Times for
claiming that Kansas City would in
the end be the greater of those
two cities. The EAGLE upon the other
hand went on record years ago that Kan
sas City in 1900 would be a more i'm
portant commercial center than St.
Louis if not equal in wealth.
The EAGLES article of Sunday last
was written in all good faith, and the
reasons of our faith were embodied in
the article itself. If they were falacious
then our claim falls to the ground, but
time, not the Times, can alone determine
either. As for the towns mentioned
by the Times we are looking out for
them. They are good towns and will be
big towns. We have never said anything
else. If this country should prove in
capable of supporting good towns and
big towns then:the hope of central city,
such as we clam Wichita must be, would
be in vain.
Now go on with your laugh, but don't
get too excited over it.

ANOTHER PENSION OUTRAGE.

The arbitrary actions of the present
administration III regard to pensions for
Union soldiers in the war of the rebel
lion have been subjects for almost uni
versal criticism. Not only have Repub-
licans with one voice condemned and de-
nounced them, but thousands of patriot
ic members Of the administration party
have been constrained from time to time
to refer in no complimentary terms to
the presidents dictatorial policy of veto
ing private pension bills after having
been passed by both houses without a
dissenting vote. If such acts of the pres
ident in preventing such measures from
becoming laws are subjects of adverse
criticism, what must be said Of the COM
missioner of pensions in setting aside the
laws in individual cases and substitut-
ing his own Will therefor. and
that viii warped by prejudice OF
personal bias, as is set out in the action
at law instituted against the commission
er by Captain Dunlap, of Illinois, men
toned in yesterdays dispatches: 1t is
uGLt ~ OC-1CEANO 81 SlilS Va NttSt more
calculated to outrage the public sense of
Justice and right, or of circumstances
/ that would justify the commissioner in
his arbitrary course. The fact that that
official is himself the largest pensioner
upon the government of any upon the
long list should so warm him towards
his afflicted comrades as to prompt him
to at least construe the law literally in
their favor, but instead of that we find
him actually multiplying the very conser-
vative law and cruelty asserting auto
cratic power in its place, if the allega-
tons of the plaintiff in action are to be
accepted as true, and there appears to be
no reason to doubt them. The public
mind is in just the condition to expect
and demand a thorough investigation of
the case and complete reparation made
of all injury done the manned pensioner.

KANSAS CHIEF INDUSTRIAL CITIES

From the industrial statistics of the
state compiled by Labor Commissioner
Bolton the following exhibit is taken;
Wichita, 81 establishments, 1,149
hands. and Sc, 195, 020 value produced.
Topeka has 90 manufacturing estab-
lishments employing ,619 hands. Value
of products $4,639,912.
Fort Scott has 80 establishments, 933
hands employed, value of product, ST.
354, 1922
Kansas City, Kan, reports 40 manu-
facturies, $3.50 hands, value Of product,
$12,478, 800
Leavenworth GA manufactures with
2,012 hands producing $tk321,117.
Atchison, 80 establishments employ
ing /. III people and turning out an an
nual product of s., 107 ,31S.
From this it is TO be seen at glance
that Wichita is exceeded in the number
of industrial establishments and hands
employed by only two cities in the state,
neither of which equals it in the value
of products. and in this respect Wichita
is second only to the consolidated cities
at the Kaw's mouth, otherwise Kansas
City, Kan, where are located the i'm
mense packing houses and stock yards
owned and controlled from across the
line.

INTEREST AND REDEMPTION LAWS

To the Editor of the EAGLE.
Is not the problem of interest laws
contained in the proposition. THAT
where there are more borrowers than
lenders, that lenders should be encour-
aged to come into a community" Kan
sas is a borrowing state. In fact the
west is using the surplus earnings of the
east. When lenders have an opportu-
nifty to pick localities and good security
and good collection laws, will any change
in interest laws and the passing of re-
demption law be to the interest of the
borrower?
In 1874, 'grasshopper year." every
county and state convention passed reso-
buttons on interest, stay and redemption
laws. The legislature met and I'D journed
without needing the supposed demand
The year 1915 was a good crop year, and
the people never required to the need of
the laws.
The truth is that every depression
causes people to hunt for temporary ex-
pedients to bridge over the crisis
and the meeting of the legis-
lature is 'slop pail to receive
the bile on the states stomach.
Kansas don't want to advertise that it is
insolvent by rushing to the legislature
and exclaiming Save us from our cred
itors." The attachment laws provide
that to so shield property as to delay
creditors" is grounds for an attachment,
and yet we propose to pass law having
for It's real object the delaying of credi-
tors. That is. that act Of the individual
debtor which is a fraud on his creditor, is
purged of its fraud when the state be-
comes the champion of fraud.
