as TO IMMIGRATIoN.

The immigration scheme, suggested
by tie Rock Island people, is attracting
public attention to a gratifying degree.
Every kausan should be interested in
this. 1t is the one method which has never
failed to bring both people and capital
to Kansas. Ten years ago when land ex-
ploring tickets wero on sale at every
station there was mania for coming TO
Kansas throughout the eastern and mid
die states. A cheap ticket strikes the
vulnerable spot-the pocket. 1t Is better
than logic or even crop reports. 1t brings
the passenger to Kansas. He sees for
himself and is convinced.
If the scheme outlined by Mr.. Sebas-
tan contemplates cheap rates
it will greatly increase the
revenue Of his road by building up its
territory. It is surprising that this
means has been delayed 50 long Charg-
ing exorbitant rates to the few yields
less revenue than moderate rates to the
many. 1t has Its parallel IN the hotel
keeper who had but one customer a
month, charging him d rate covering
his running expenses. Trains are run
regularly at a given cost whether loaded
or not. Extra patronage adds nothing
to the cost, hence increased profits. If
the railroads of Kansas by a combined
effort would bring half Il million immi-
grants to the state, freight and passen-
ger rates could be scaled down to the
limit Of Iowa and Illinois. The divi-
dends would be far better and the bur
den lighter to their patrons.
There Is a community of interests be-
tween the railway and the people. and
reciprocity Of effort inures to the benefit
of each. Let our county commissioners
respond 10 this call Every county on
the line should have an organization to
aid the project and there Is not day 10
be lost. Prompt action viii bring many
a land buyer and home seeker between
Row and the next crop season. The
work should be done practically and by
conservative methods. The professional
boomer should be sent to the rear. There
are reliable agents and dealers in every
county who cannot afford to deceive
the public. This is the suspicious
time. We have room for the
thousands who would leave the
OVERLOOKING eastern states and come to
Kansas If they knew what we had to
offer. Our genial semi-tropical climate,
/ our vast domain Of cheap, rich, uncc-
. cunied land, the abundant yield and
I great variety Of our products, our con
/ yenienCe to home markets already eStab-
iished, our new southern outlet t. the
