a Years Work by che Commissioner
Of Corporations.
Commissioner Garfield Has Submitted
His First Annual Report of That
Body to cOnsress-And Suggests
Many Valuable Regulations

Washington, Dec. 23.-The first an
nuaI report of the commissioner or
corporations was submitted TO congress
by Commissioner Garfield. He says
no satisfactory reform is to be ex-
pected under the state system OF in
corporation; that the federal govern
ment has at it's command sufficient
power to remedy existing conditions
in its control OF interstate commerce.
He therefore suggests that congress
consider the advisability of enacting
law for the legislative regulation OF
interstate and foreign commerce un-
der a license or franchise which in
general should provide as follows:
The granting of a federal franchise
or. license to engage in interstate
commerce.
The imposition of all necessary re-
quirements as to corporate organiza-
tions and management as requis-
ite for grant of franchise or license.
The requirement of such reports
and return as may be desired as con-
dition of the retention of such fran
chise or license.
The prohibition of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
in interstate and foreign commerce
without such federal franchise or Ii
cense.
The full protection OF the grantees
of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case OF
violation OF law, with appropriate
right of judicial appeal to prevent
abuse OF power by the administrative
officers.
Commissioner General Garfield
says the bureau, under ethe direction
of the secretary OF commerce and Ia
bor, affords the appropriate machin.
cry for the, administration OF such a
law.

MANY REFUSE TO QUALIFY.
Rural Kansans Too Busy Making
Money to Hold Office.

Topeka, Dec 81 = Hundreds of
Kansans in the rural districts who
were elected to subordinate off
ces at the recent election are declin-
ing to qualify. The places declined
are township offices. such as trustee,
treasurer, justices of the peace and
constable. There was a time in the
state when these offices were sought
after as eagerly as the county and
state offices. Many township elections
in the past overshadowed the state
and presidential elections. One time
the chairman of the Republican state
committee wrote to rural statesman
in Central Kansas asking how the peo-
pie were lining up on the presidential
and state ticket
Cant TELL" vas the reply, That
question is never discussed. The big
fight here is On township trustee"
This is just one instance of thous-
ands that have occurred in years gone
by. But it is different nov. Mcn
were nominated for township offices
! this fall when they weren't looking,
and were elected without opposition.
Now many of them won't qualify. I'm
der the law the old township officers
must serve until their successors are
elected and qualify. Many of the old
ones will have to hold over and they
are kicking. The reason for this pc
culiar state of affairs is that the farm
ers are busy making money and don't
care to waste time with the political
jobs. Thu officehoidfng micrGbe has
