OIL LEGISLATION

The Kansas legislature has prac
tically completed its work. The
legislature is above the average in
intelligence and working ability. Ii
has not accomplished all that was
hoped for but it has done much for
which the people are. grateful, and
probably has accomplished as much
as should be expected in the short
time allotted to the session.
In the line of legislation in the
interest of the oil industry, the peo
pie got all the legislation asked for.
Acts were passed as follows:
"The state refinery bill, appro-
priating $4ro ,ooo."
."Pipe lines made common car.
riers."
maximum freight rates fixed
on OIL"
"Pipe lines placed under the jur,
isdiction of the Railroad Com.
missioners.
"Nnli discrimination bill, prohib.
itirg different prices in, different To-
callies when made to defeat com
petition"
We do not know how much more
could be done in the line of legisla
ton. Every man must now take
hold and help himself. The law has
done all it can to help him.
1t is to be hoped that these var
ious acts have been carefully
framed and will stand the test of the
courts. Doubtless, some of them
will be tested. 1t was well to pass
the laws, constitutional or not. The
people made the constitution and il
it has become inadequate, we had
better change the constitution to
conform to modern laws than to
have the trusts destroy us, constitu-
tion and all.

THE CANAL

The engineering plans for the
Panama canal have been submitted
TO the commission. Two estimates
have been made, one for a sea level
canal with a bottom width of $50 feet
and minimum depth of IS feet.
The estimated cost, all complete is
S23o, 500, 900, with time necessary
to complete, 10 or IL years.
The other estimate is for a canal
with the surface 60 feet above the
sea level. This is the cheaper plan,
the estimated cost with locks and
all complete is SI7S,o13, 400. The
engineers favor the sea level plan.
Notwithstanding the greater cost.
They claim it has many advantages.
One of the great advantages urged
is that the canal could be deepened
or enlarged at any time without any
interference with navigation, should
future commerce demand.

been several million dollars and the
loss of life in the mine explosions
near Birmingham, Ala, and in
West Virginia will probably reach
the total of $50.
These calamities seem to run in
streaks. One big loss follows an
other in quick succession without
any apparent cause. The fire boys
claim that when they have one fire
they expect two more to follow
closely. The railroad boys expect
serious accidents to come in groups
of three. And it seems that one
great loss of life or great destruct-
ion is promptly followed by one or
two others, then comes lull.
Possibly it takes two or three severe
warnings to arouse the people from
their careless habits.
1t must be admitted that most Of
our great calamitles of this kind can
be traced directly to the careless
ness of some body. AS people we
seem 10 be reckless and careless.
1t is about time additional safe
guards were thrown around the
mines to protect the workmen from
danger as far as possible and every
body should be less careless about
fire danger.

LOST

The anti-pump bill fell fiat in the
senate. But nine senators could be
mustered for the measure when the
vote came. With all their buster
and furry, as soon as they came up
against real genuine monopoly
that proposes to carry on its high
handed robbery in the face of all
opposition, a large majority of
the senators fell in line with the
monopoly and agreed that the gas
belt should be devastated.
There was an element of personal
interest in various localities of the
state that worked together to defeat
the measure. The gas trust had
succeeded in making many ambit-
GUS localities in Kansas think they
would furnish them gas if they were
allowed to have their own way.
They were willing to impoverish
the gas belt in the futile hope that
they might greatly profit from the
ravishm emit.
The gas pipers seemed to have
some kind of subtle influence over
the senator's that they did not care
to use with the members of the
house. Just what that influence
was IN every case, we are unpre-
pared to saw. In a number of cases
they were promised gas for their
home towns.
We dor know whether every
little village in the state where
state senator lives was promised gas
or not but we do know that the
senate started out with great
flourish against monopolies and fell
down badly when the fight came
against the most ruinous one of all
for this part of the state.

THE WAR

From latest reports it looks like
Oyama and Kuropatkln are now en-
gagged in a fierce and bloody battle.
If these two vast armies engage in a
determined general battle, the rec
ords of the world are likely to be
eclipsed for slaughter.
Each army is supposed to con-
tain in the neighborhood of 400, 900
men.
Each army is thoroughly equipped
with artillery of all kinds and all
modern machines and instruments
of destruction.
The battle line is about 100 miles
long. The fight will probably be a
series of large battles along different
sections of the line.
The Japs seem to have the best OF
the initiatory proceedings, but have
been held up and turned back at
several points on the line. The
fighting on both sides has been
fierce and in some instances recK-
less. The Japs seem to be engaged
in one of their favorlte flanklng
movements, which if not checked
promptly, will result IN the complete
rout of the Russian army.
The laps are reported to have ap-
nroached Mukden close enough to
she'll the town, and the reports state
tha, much damage is being done to
the city. If this battle becomes the
general engagement that it seems to
be no one can foretell the results.
Au accident or the failure of one
man at a critical time, may turn vic
tory into defeat for either side.
Should the Russians be defeated 1t
would be a crushing blow to their
ambitions in the east and would
practically end the war.
Should the Japs lose, it means a
long and bloody struggle.

$4,000 IN PRIZES
What He Will Pay for Meeting
Standard Oil Representa-
tives in Joint Debate

Thomas w. Lawson is willing to
pay $4,000 to get five OF his
"frenzied" opponents on the plat
form with him; they to tell the au-
dence whatthey think of him, while
he, in their presence, will tell them
what he thinks of them and their
works. He has graded scale of
pay for these enemies. The presence
of James H. Eckels, of Chicago, is
worth 81, 500; that of James M.
Beck, the eastern lawyer, is worth
twice as much. If by any chance
Fl. H. Rogers should gladden. the
B ston mans eyes, that means $ao,-
900; and should John D. Rockefel
Ter appear, bang goes $25 900 more.
This offer was made last week in
an open letter in which Lawson re
views his controversy with Beck and
Eckels. He, after calling Mr.. Beck
liar tor saying his previous offer
for meeting was not fair one,
and paying a tribute to him as an
orator, then invited Beck to meet
him in Faneuil hall in Boston in
the presence Of all interested per-
sons who care to listen. Mr.. Law
son gives Mr.. Beck the unrestricted
privilege of raking him personally,
and promises him unlimited time,
reserving only for himself, the Gun
finished orator." the last word.
Then he says:
eff you will consent to this | will
pay over to the Federation OF Press
clubs the sum of $1,000. If yon
bring with you ames ii. Eckels,
the western mud-slinger of the 'sys-
tem,' and the able Samuel Inter
myer, chief counsel for the Stan
dard Oil.Amalgamated-City Bank
Insurance crowd in their fight
against me, 1 will give to the above
cause another S., 900. If you will
bring with you and have join with
you, the systems car, Henry n.
Rogers, l will add another $40, 900,
making $50, 900 N all. And if you
will add to these the man upon
whom the public looks as the head
of all their oppression, John d.
Rockefeller, l will add another $25-
900, making SIS, 900 in all. If an
entire evening is required for what
these foremost representatives of
the peoples oppressors have to say,
will consent to take my hour and
a quarter the following day, or after
all your thunderbolts have been
published to the world.
"Now, James M. Beck, hired
mouthplece of the oppressors of the
American people, is thu offer tangl-

They looked upon it with pride
when it built the Eastern Oklahoma

The business men of the state felt
that this we'll developed creature of
the state, with 8, 800 miles of rail-

parent state to protect her citizens
and not to forget her humble begin

change of sentiment is coming over
the state and it is fell in this legisla

brutal tactics of Daniel O'Day on
the part of this railway company and
the Standard Oil Company while
the legislative halls were filed wit h
young men fresh from the scene of
strife. This Is the opening gun fired
in Kansas and the irrepressible con.
hict is now on. You can't dam the
Nile with bulrushes. Rockefeller
has been having other students at

the few that his 7 millions have
housed in the dormitories of the
Chicago university. His brutal
