In the senate Mr.. Newlands dis
cussed the railroad rate bill and Mr..
Daniels the question of lack of repre-
sentation by the Southern states in
the public service.
Mr.. Newlands advocated amend
ments to the rate bill providing that
a maximum percentage of profit to be
allowed to the roads, and to this end
he would have the valuation of all
railroad property carefully ascertain
ed. In addition he would have a ma
tional incorporation act, which would
be the most effective safeguard
against over capitalization. All these
regulations would work automatically
in the direction of a reduction of rates.

Kansas is certainly setting a
pace. The story comes drifting
east that a Barton county farmer
sold his cattle and wanted to place
the proceeds in a bank. He was
informed that the bank was over
stocked with money and that a
charge of 4 per cent would be made
for taking his deposits. He stalk
ed out indignant, and tried an
other bank, but was told that the
safe as so full that they could not
close the doors. This made the
farmer furious. Going % a third
bank he held a six shooter with
one hand and his roll in the other.
Say, mister" he snorted, Il
wish to put this money ia your
bank and be in a hurry about it."
