KANSAS news IN BRIEF.

public ownership, will continue to be
the principal issues discussed by Pop
ulists.
THE prominent feature ofthe money
question from a Populist standpoint
is opposition to bank issue. The re
cent enactment by a Republican con-
gress indicates clearly that it is the
settled policy of that party to perpet-
uate the national banks as banks of
issue, and to transfer to banking cor
porations complete control of the
money of our country. To this policy
the Populist party is unalterably OPP
posed. Our position on the transpor'
tation question has always been that
government ownership is the only So
luton of this great problem; that the
government is the only party that
can and will establish and maintain
just and equitable rates, and while we
have been disposed to try the expedi
ent of regulation, many of us have in
sisted that any attempt to regulate
railroads would fail, and it is now APP
parent, in view of the recent decisions
of state and federal courts and the alb
solute failure of our interstate com
merce commission to accomplish the
purpose for which it was created, tina
government ownership is the remedy
This applies with equal force to the
telegraph, telephone and express bust
ness.
"Anti-monopoly includes the so
called trust question, for a trust i:
practically monopoly, and all mon
opolies should be wiped out entirely
They are creatures of law and thu
creator has the power to destroy tina
which it has created. Populists holC
that It is the right and the duty OF
the state or nation whether any cor
pOration in the conduct of its bust
ness fails to serve the people fairly
and honestly to deprive it of its eX
istence and to substitute the munich
patty, the state or nation in its stead
imperialism and militaryism arr
looked upon by Populists as the legit
innate outgrowth of commercialisn
represented by corporations, hence
deposition to both will be prominen
part of our campaign.
public ownership of public utili
ties and natural monopolies affecting
local conditions will also have place
in the campaign discussion.
estate issues will not be ignored, blu
in a national contest national issue
will take precedence"

been forever settled by development in differ
emit parts of the State of Crude Petroleum

this most economical fuel. Three barrels of
crude oil produces about the same amount of
steam as one ton of the best coal. Oil costs

pounds Of steam as $40 worth of coal
