DR.. kirkwood Sees What They Have
Done for Indiana.

DIR. Kirkwood has returned from an
extended trip through Indiana. and while
there he made a careful investigation Of
interurban railways. DIR. Kirkwood is a
rather conservative man in business af-
fairs, but his enthusiasm when he re-
turned from riding on electric lines and
seeing the Improvement they made was
unequivocal. THE best thing the people
living along the proposed line can do is
to have this line built as quickly as pos
sible. 1t increases the value of their
property, gives them advantages of which
they never dreamed before. and is
money making proposition for them from
the time the first car starts. 1t develops
the country as no other medium can"
The last issue of the Street Railway
Journal gives the following concerning
interurban lines in Indiana:
AN interesting statement, which bears
upon the effect of interurban railway
transportation on land valuat ton, is re-
ported from Indiana. in which the state
beard of tax commissioners will add
more than 500, OO0. 600 to the state tax
duplicate. This is not due entirely to the
electric railway construction which has
occurred in Indiana in the last year or
two. The development of new oil and
coal lands have had their effect on the
increase in the property values, but the
vast network OF interurban lines has
been the greatest factor in the increase
During April all of the land in the state
was reappraised for taxation, and the re-
ports show an average increase in the
value of suburban property and farm
lands served by the electric lines, but
this increase is not apparent in locali-
ties destitute Of electric transit facili-
ties The appraisers took into considera-
ton the advantages of quick and cheap
transportation for the products of the
land as well as the social and moral eff
feet in the way of bringing communities
closer together and increasing the con-
venience and multiplying the comforts
of life.
Real estate values In indianapolis. the
center of the great interurban system,
as well as every other city and town
connected with 1t by interurban lines
have been built up so substantially that
indications point toward still greater ad-
vance in values"

MADE SPECIAL MASTER.
C. v. Ferguson Will Try Suit involv-
inq Large Sum.

Judge Hook Of the federal court, has
appointed c. V. Ferguson of this city
master in chancery to take testimony ana
report his conclusions of law and facts
in two Important cases. They Will be
heard after the fifteenth of September
at some time agreed upon by the attor-
neys in the cases.
The title of one case is The Drovers
Live Stock Commission Company VS.. f.
B. Ewing and E. NJ. Ewing. The other
is the Live Stock Commission Company
VS.. f. b. Ewing and John NJ. Waddel.
Enquiry in regard to the cases revealed
the fact that the Ewings are cattiemen
Twin gat Ell Dorado and that Waddel is
engaged in the same business, but lives
at Eureka The Drovers Live Stock Com
mission Company of Kansas City claims
that it loaned these three men large
amount of money to be used in the cat
tie business and it is to recover this
money that the suits are brought.
1t was also learned that the commission
company set up the claim that the de-
PENDANTS have transferred large amount
of property TO prevent the collection of
this claim. The case is regarded as a
very important one by the attorneys and

The case will be tried in the federal
court room here and it is expected that it
will create considerable interest.

that he did not know very much about
the case 1t was a surprise to him when
ne received the notice from Frank Shear
man. clerk of the federal clerk. that he
had been appointed He said he would
hear the case after the fifteenth of next

ton for a contract with some other COM
pany he usually succeeds in making ar
rangements and starts out again TO prey
upon innocent people.
In my judgment the wisest thing to do
under those circumstances is to refuse
such a man a license to do business in
Kansas. In the list of those who have
already been refused licenses by this de-
partment." continued Mr. Luling, filed
in this Office are the names of individuals
who can sell insurance on its merits, but
they do not do so. And if any of them
take issue with the department upon
the right to revoke their license, the
courts can take jurisdiction. and then
we will be given the opportunity to sub
NIT as evidence the proof that there is
good and sufficient reason for this class
OF agents to be barred from the privilege
Of doing business in this state
There are two ways of doing business.
One with honesty of purpose; the other
with the intention to engage in sharp
and dishonest practices. So long as l
am in the Office of superintendent of in
surance I will not attach my signature
to a document giving any man the right
to go out and impose upon the people
by Misrepresentation and fraud. Insur-
ance companies do not countenance these
things and the agents know it. but they
take chances on being caught and play
their nefarious schemes TO a finish
The companies and the people are en-
titled to protection against this class of
of individuals. and all the power at my
command will be directed TO that pur-
pose"
The companies operating in Kansas
seem pleased with the attitude of the
superintendent of insurance. and where
agents are discharged for misappropria-
alton of funds or frauds of any charac-
ter. a majority of the companies now
notify the superintendent.
