SEVEN YEARS
 OF SHORTAGE
An Examination of the Kan-
 SaS Treasury
A Deficiency of $7S,OOO and Other Things in the Terms Of Two Officials.

Topeka, Jan. 16.-The total shortage
 in the state treasury of about SIS, 900 is shown by the report of Accountant Morris in the treasury examination just closed, according to summary of the report prepared by Governor Hoch. made public late this afternoon. The report covers all transactions made by the state treasurers from
 January 1. 1898. to June 30. 1905, in
 cluding the two full terms of former State Treasurer Frank E. Grimes. and one term and six months of the admin istration of Thos T. Kelly, the present
 state treasurer. The bulk of the short age appears in the accounts of the of
 flee during the Grimes administra- ton.
 Of the total of S7S,OOO, s6O,OOO is due to missing coupons from bonds owned by the state schools fund and S1S,O00 is due to the loss of warrants issued by the territory of Oklahoma to the state of Kansas.
 Governor Hoch tonight declined to ! discuss any action that he might take ] in regard to the result of the investi- gation. Former State Treasurer Frank | E. Grimes issued a statement tonight. , He absolutely denies responsibility i for the shortage in the Oklahoma warrant interest and says he is able 1 to account satisfactorily for all bond | coupon shortages except $7,215. MT. Grimes states that he is willing to
 make good any shortage he was re- 1 sponsible for.
 In his statement MT. Grimes puts l the responsibility for a number of ser i ious discrepancies on c. R. Richey, his l chief clerk.
 ]; Aside from the shortage shown, the 1 Morris report makes sensational dis : closures concerning the erasure ol the "state property stamp from the
 backs of coupons and the mutilation
 of records in the offices of the state
 treasurer and state auditor.
 Thomas T. Kelly, the present state treasurer. tonight issued a lengthy
 statement in reply to the Morris re- port MT. Kelly in the statement says he is pleased with the Morris repCr- and considers it a complete vindica- ton of his conduct while in office. MT | Kelly admits that a few small short ages have occurred since ne becamG state treasurer, but he charges then to clerical errors.

methods. He made it rule never to borrow money and never to issue a note. He paid cash tor everything he bought, not only in connection with his dry goods enterprise, but for all his dealings in real estate and other investments. The great fire of 1871 was the only reverse ever experienced by the house of Marshall Field and company. Its losses at that time az gregated over S1,0O0,0JO.
 In 1872, the wholesale department was separated from the retail store and the latter now covers two city squares, and is located in buildings twelve stories in height.

such in fact the independence League
is known to be.
Mr. Hearst is distrusted and feared
by the old political regime in New
York, and he has a large following
among the toiling masses Of that state.
The facts are entitled to speak for
themselves. Mr. Hearst's motives are
called in question by parties who gen
orally speaking have little right to
question the motives of anybody. But
to question the motives of any man
is an easy matter. Mr. Hearst has an
undoubted right to be ambitious and
aspire to the goyernorship of his state
or to the presidency of the United
States. For this he deserves no cen

ing office, he asks for the support of
the toiling masses, offering his record
as a reason for such support, Mr..
Hearst has become an interesting per-
sonage in the politics of the country
and his future movements have be-
come matter of considerable inter
est and much speculation in political
circles the country over.

termine what would constitute a just
and reasonable charge for the trans

The prosperity that is general and
promises so well for the future makes
the present time favorable one for
the imitation of railway securities, an
excuse for which is found in the grow

upon all railroads. 1t also is a favor
able time for railroad building as the
increasing railroad earning together
with abundance of capital seeking in

sell any amount of securities that may
be offered, for the extensions of
branch lines. Hence opportunities ex-
list for enormous profits to railway
magnates through construction COM
panies, agencies for furnishing sup
plies, commission on sale of securities
and other devices for conducting the
enormous profits on railroad construc-

THE HEARST MOVEMENT

Sixteen hundred delegates, repre-

him a full state ticket The result is
the democratic party in the state is
sorely disturbed over the situation
The outcome, however, may be viewed
complacently by all true democrats in
other states as we'll as in New York
in view of the fact that the party in
the Empire state has not been true to
name from a time when the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary.
Any fate that may befall the demo
cratic organization in New York will
be as good as it deserves and the
shaking up that it is promised by the
Hearst movement can only result in
good. Political harmony in the ranks

possibly receive after paying freight
at the open rate. Under these cir
cumstances the higher the open rate
the larger the margin afforded to rail
roads to give in rebates and thus more
securely guard the shipper in his mo-
nopoly of the business.
The members of this community of
interests stand in with the railroads
in plundering the farmers and in re-
turn, the railroads protect them in a
monopoly in their respective lines
through which they are able to plumber
the people. These constitute the back
bone of the railroad political machine
which has had its ramifcations in all
of the political parties.
This community of interest is what
is meant when politicians refer to the
business interests of the state. There
fore, voters may proftably watch the
movements these so called business
interests, in politics and thus obtain
a clue to what the railroads are doing.
If it be noticed that the elevator in
terests and the dealers in live stock
and coal are supporting certain can
didates a further investigation is quite
certain to reveal the fact that the
passholders of the neighborhood are
either secretly or openly supporting
the same candidates, that they are the
railroad candidates.
1t is the duty of men who desire
good government and want square
deal to vote against the railroad can
didates. When the railroads are sat
isfied with the candidates of both
parties, the individual members of
this community of interests will give
their support to the candidates of
which every party they claim to affil-
late with. But when the railroads
have preferred candidate, and their
interests are exposed to danger
through the election of an unfriend-
ly candidate, the action of the mem
bers of this community of interests
is. sure to betray the fact
and reveal the railroad choice, in
which case those outside of the
charmed circle can make no mistake
in casting their votes for the candi-
dates of the opposition

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROADS

The ultimate settlement of the rail
road question in manner will be
just to all concerned is not likely to
be soon reached And, vexatious as
the question is with it's almost infinite
business and political ramifcations a
settlement of it that will fall short
of doing justice to the public would
be a calamity to be avoided
The railroads of the United States
represent total capital in excess of
$14, OO0,O00,000, one half of which at
least may be set down as fictitious
representing no investment of any
kind whatever, but entailing mini
mum charge exceeding three hundred
millions per year upon the public
This charge is fraudulent and burden
upon the commerce of the country
which it ought not to bear, and which
must be removed by squeezing the
water out of railroad securities before
any just settlement of the railroad
question can be reached.
1t is well known to those on the in
side of the great financial cliques that
control the railroad systems of the
country that the movements of rail-
way manipulators contemplate the ulti-
mate sale of the roads to the govern
ment at figure greatly in excess of
the present market price of the rail-
road securities. In fact it has leaked
out from the highest source in the
railway world that at the proper time
when they are prepared for the
change, the railroad magnates will
secretly promote political sentiment
| favorable to a purchase of all rail
roads by the government of the Uni
ted States.
In the mean time, however, the rail
roads will fight to the death all at.
tempts at regulation and particularly
such as are aimed against extortionate
rates. The railway magnates are far.
