FEELING THEIR WAY.
The Governor and His Friends Work
inc Toward an Extra Session.

Railroad Commissioner w. P. Camp
bell has sent out a, private letter to
the recalcitrant members of the legis-
lature asking them to define the po-
sitiOn which they will assume with
reference to railroad legislation in the
event a special session of the legiSla-
ture should be called by the governor.
In sending out the letter, Mr.. Camp
bell says he acted solely upon his per-
sonal responsibility and not as a mem
Der of the state board of railroad COM
missioners and without consulting the
governor or any one else upon the sub
ject He also promised the men to
whom the letters were sent, to treat
their answers as confidential
Asked today as to the nature of the
replies he has received to the cOnmu-
nicatiOn, Mr.. Campbell said;
Il cannot tell you what is contained
in the letters. but If a special session
were to be called today, there would be
but one result-the enactment OF a
railroad law which would meet the ap-
proval of the people"
In response to a, question if he be-
ieved a special session will be held
Mr.. Campbell said he was unable to
say, not knowing what position the
governor will take.
State Superintendent Stryker, who
has just returned from q tour of the
western part of the state among the
people" called on the railroad commits
sioners today and urged upon them the
necessity of at once fixing a reasonable
order of the railroads to adopt it.
"Of course, I presume they will re-
fuse to do this, and then the governor
can call the legislature together and
have the schedule adopted and fixed as
a maximum rate"
The administration forces are bring
ing their Influences to bear in every
way possible upon the members of the
legislature who have been designated
as traitors" because of their refusal
to support the Brown bill, hoping to Sc
cure from them such concessions as
will enable the governor to call a spe-
cial session to have the rate lowered in
time to give the Kansas farmers sub
stantial benefits in marketing the i'm
mense crop which is already assured
Some of the Populist politicians have
suggested that the railroad commit
tees of the senate and house get to-
gether and formulate what they would
regard as a reasonable bill. Complete
it in every particular and so frame it
that 1t would be approved by the gov
ernor and the railroad commissioners,
then have the legislature called togeth-
er and pass the law. This. it is claimed,
would remove the necessity for prelim
mary work and would enable the legis-
Iators to perform their part withoO-
the waste Of time which is usually

TRUSTS MUST BE CURBED
Or Government Ownership Will Loom
Up. Says Senator Allen.

Washington, June 15.-The senate de-
bate on the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill proceeded yesterday.
Mr.. Pettigrew IS. d., spoke at length
in favor of his amendment to place on
the free list articles controlled by trusts
severely arraigning the various large
trusts. Mr. Allen, (Neb), urged legal
procedures against the trusts.
He charged that the trusts in the last
campaign all opposed Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton and that many of them closed
down some of their factories to influ-
ence their workmen. He named eleven
trusts and said they were capitalized at
1892, 900, 600 and bonded at $43, 600, 900,
while representing an actual investment
of only S171, 900, 600. He spoke of the
trusts as modern pirates
The assertion that if the antitrust
amendment prevailed the revenue de-
signed to be provided by the tariff bill
would collapse, he said, was absurd, and
he submitted the figures to show that
the proposed duties on articles controlI-
ed by these eleven trusts, based on pres
ent impOrtatiOns, would be but sS,000,-
000
If some remedy against trusts were
not adopted then the extreme remedy
of government ownership would loom
up as a practical question. Why that,
said, he, is socialism, yet socialism is
preferable to deSpOtism.
