Who Owns the Coal Mines Of Kansas 2

Who Owns the Goal Mines Of Kansas7
EDITOR ADvooATE:-The struggle be-
tween the corporations on one side and
the people on the other is now on. The
present and latest field for monopoly to
assert it's claim to absolute ownership to
lsbor's product ls in the coal fields. The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
Company has issued itS dictum that the
coal miners Of Cherokee aud Crawford
counties must have their wages reduced
SO per cent. When the miners propose
arbitration and argument, the Santa Fe
company says: "We offer AZ cents per
ton in the summer and 50 cents per ton
in winter. There is nothing whatever
to reason or argue about, nothing what
ever to srbitrste; we make this offer for
immediate acceptance or rejection. Be
our slaYes or feel the weight Of our dis
pleasure" But life in the mines has not
been q constant picnic, even at the
wages paid In the past, and the coal
miners have made up their minds that it
is better to fight like men than starve
like slaves, and so the struggle is on.
Right here comes in the query: What
interest, what authority, what rights has

There is no bribery with passes, no cor
ruption OF legislatures, judges and juries
to secure favors.
The fair is great place for relics Of
bygone times Among these the single
gold standard should be, or rather some-
thing to represent. the intangible gold
bug idea. The intrinsic value humbug
may be but q memory when the next
international fair is held. Still 1t will
hardly do to predict that such will be
the case, when journals like the Chicago
Herald dispose Of the financial problem
OF the hour in the following brilliant
manner: "The display Of millinery at
the American Derby suggested q solu-
tion Of the present stringency in the
money market" How consoling that
paragraph must be to the man who ia
thrown out of employment by the shut
ting down Of mills and mines as a result
Of the scarcity Of money, or to the
farmer who ia about to lose his farm be-
cause the price Of products is too low
ION account Of overproduction p TO
enable him to live and meet his obliga-
tions. Necessity is not only the mother
Of invention, but is great quiCkener Of
mental action. No mortgsge-burdened
farmer may be depended on to do clearer,
more logical thinking than the pluto
cratic editor, lounging in his sanctum,
intent upon servilely praising bis
masters.
While the papers are discussing Gov
Altgeld's action in pardoning the Hay

ever may be said Of the question Of pro

dangerous precedent to let a few mer
oooly ignore state law.
It appears as though the Columbian
guards on the fair grounds have no lega
right to make arrests. 1t is rather latG
to discover this, after they have hauled
over 500 persons to the station in the
patrol wagon. But the claim 10 now

this matterP 1t is chartered to conduct
a transportation business, to run rail-
road. It is not authorized to mine coal
any more than it is permitted to run
hotels or grocery stores, to operate ele-
vRtors, to farm wheat or corn lands, or
to own commercial lumber yards. It is
chartered as a railroad corporation solely.
Let Us see the statutory provision con-
cerning this matter: Section 26 (1189 on
page 1878 Of the general statutes Of 1889
reads as follows: mo corporation created
under the provisions of this act (the gen
ersl act in relation to corporations) shall
employ its stock, means, assets or other
property, directly or indirectly, for any
purpose whatever, than to accomplish
the legitimate objects Of it's creation"
Yet this A., I. & s. F. Railroad Com
pany claims ownership Of the coal lands,
coal shafts, tools and appliances and the
capital stock of ton different coal COM
psnies. 1t has an officer whom it calls
manager of coal properties" It has
used It's money for a purpose altogether
different from the one permitted by its
charter, and now by virtue OF that flO-
grant violation Of its charter, OF the stat
utes of Kansas, Of the laws OF our coun-
try, it aims to control aud enslsve the
coal miners Of Kansas TO such an ex-
tent as TO say: "You must take whatever
wages We will choose to give you; you
must work under such rules we will
make for YOU and you must not ask for
reason, for justice, for good will"
There is one thing which should be
done under the circumstances. II the
A., 7. & s. f. company holds any title to
those coal lands, coal shafts, coal stocks
at all, it holds them by virtue Of fla
grant violation Of the Ia aws; that is, it
holds them by an unlawful title, without
any title good in law at all. All this
property is to-day without a lawful
owner. And it becomes the duty of the
state TO look after that property, take it
in it's possession, and operate 1t for the
good of the state, and the good Of these
miners, till the next legislature shall
make a disposition thereof.

banker must pRlpitate with fear lest the
visitors should apply to the money ques-
ton reasoning analogous to that used
on other questions, and should decide
that the power to make money ought to
be exercised by the government alone.
But perhaps they do not feel any dread
or apprehension at all, believing that
American tin and Baby Ruth and the
bloody shirt, for long time to come, will
occupy the minds of the people so that
the monetary ideas current in the dark

Kansas is credited by the official organ
Of the exposition with having raised
s165, 900 for making exhibits, Only nine
states raised more. It is doubtful il one
Of these has better display in the vari-

tion Of CaliforniR, which had $550OO0 at
it's disposal, and Illinois, with 100000.
No better evidence is needed to show
how we'll the appropriations Of our state

Kansas enjoys the distinction Of hsv-
ing less untillable land in proportion to
it's size than any other state in the
union. Bearing this in mind, the major
ity of visitors are surprised at her fine
mineral exhibit in the northeastern part
of the Mining building. Great masses
Of rock salt and blocks Of gypsum are
piled up around the section. There is a
pyramid Of spelter bars from Cherokee
county. A block Of potter's clay calls
attention to that mineral. Galens sent

zinc blende. From the same place came
bars Of lead that are built up like a
tower. Yellow, brown, pink, white and
notified limestone, from different parts
of the state, are shown in rough ashlersr
and also hewn and polished. The sand
stones are black, brown and slate col
ored. Wallace county sends chalk. Vol
canic dust, used for polishing powder,
is from the southwestern part Of the
state. There is raw ocher, cement, plRs-
ter Of Paris, terra alba and pearl hard
ening from several places. A Topeka
firm has sent vltrifsd bricks, and the
material from which they are made. The
Jumps and the powdered material are
both shown. On the wall above and
behind the exhibit is a geological map
Of the state, showing the different for
nations and also the location Of the salt
wells, salt works, salt mines and salt
msrshes; Of coal, lead and zinc mines; Of
oil and gas wells. A chart rates the
value Of the annual mineral production
Of Kansas at S9,26OOO0. Coal leads with
q value Of e4,O00,O0O Zinc, lead, salt,
plaster, building stone, clays, mineral
paints, oil and gas follow in the order
named. The last two products are
jointly valued at $4,000. On the sec

Charges of Bribery in Kansas.

TOPEKA, KS, March 1.-THE To-
pela Capitol in an editorial, charged
that Fred. J. Close, private secreta-
~ to Gov. Llewellyn, and Attorney
General Little, had received $1,000
from the policy shop men Of Kan
sas City, Kansas, in consideration
of which sum the governor was to
appoint a board of police commits
sioners for that city which would
not interfere with the operations of
the policy men. In addition to this
the governor was to veto the Taylor
anti-pOlicy bill, if it should pass
the House. The charge was made
with much clearneSS Of detail,
which created a sensation among
the members of the Legislature.
The resolutions were introduced in
both houses, plOViding for the APP
pOintment Of a committee to inVeS-
tigate the ugly allegations. War
ner Hudson, editor of the "Capital,"
in an interview, said that he had
ample proof to substantiate his
charge against Governor Level
lyn. His private secretary and the
attorney general deny absolutely
any knowledge of the alleged tran
saction. The policy shops have a
strong lobby here, which is liber-
ally supplied with money.
