result that it was learned that during
the past seven years the shippers to
the Kansas City market have paid for
twenty million pounds of hay that
was not received by them, the yard
company sold about fourteen million
pounds more hay than they bought
and between six and seven million
pounds was shown to have been lost
age and from waste; the shippers
paid for this loss. At the market

pany has received during tho seven
years about $4,000 for hay not re-
ceived. No evidence was obtained to
prove that the company had instruct

guessing existed.
eleven thousand bushels in five years.
This gain, in the opinion of your COM
nlittee, is insignificant.
Big Profits on Feed
The Stock Yards company makes
100 per cent on all feed. This 100 per
cent is made daily.
The Stock Yards company reserves
the exclusive right to sell all feed on
the premises. 1t is impossible for
shipper to either furnish his own feed
or purchase it elsewhere.
Complaint was made by various
commission men and shippers to the
committee that inadequate service was
afforded by the Stock Yards company.
The testimony of the most prominent
commission merchants discloses that
hardly a sufficient number of scales
are provided, that in times of need
some of these have been closed. that

week and especially on Tuesdays, cat
tie are kept standing in the alleys

WaGGENER'S BILLS.
Has Two Measures for Taxing Assets
of Banks.

Two bills have been drafted by
Senator Bale Waggener relating to
bank affairs which do not meet with
senate and will probably meet with as
out the state.
One provides that all state banks
shall list for the purposes of taxation
all notes, mortgages and other evil
dences of money owed the banks, in
the same manner as other personal
property is listed for taxation.
Senator Waggener explains that this
bill, if 1t becomes a law, will make it
possible to enforce the specific provis-
ion of the state constitution which pro-
vides for the taxing of notes, mort
cages and other evidences of money
owed banks. This particular provision
of the constitution has for all practi-
cal purposes been a dead letter.
The other bill is as brief as it is i'm
portant. 1t proposes to reduce the le-
gal rate of interest in the state from
10 per cent to Z per cent. This is the
measure that the bankers will hand all
sorts of kicks and punches.
Mr. Waggener states that there are
few states in the country which now
permit legal rate of interest of 10
per cent and he thinks the time is ripe
to reduce this rate in Kansas.
And besides" says Senator wag-
gener in talking about the measure.
everything. So why skip anything ,
We should regulate the banks as well
as other things The banks can better
afford to stand a reduction in the legal
rate of interest than the railroads can

they charged only 20 cents per head for
weighing cattle. But during 1893 the
price was raised to 25 cents per head
The reason alleged for this advance IN
charge was that the earnings were IN
sufficient to meet the demands of the
stockholders. During this one year the
company paid a dividend or ~ per cent
on it's cash investment.
1t was shown that the railroad COM
panies pay to the Stock Yards company
so cents per car for unloading all llve
stock, and for properly yard1ng the
same and so cents for each car which
is driven from the holding pen to the
chutes loaded or reloaded. Horses and
mules are handled under the same con-
tract and on the same terms Inc
Stock Yards company receives total
of about 200 per year additional from
this source.
The evidence also establishes: that
the Stock Yards company attend to
receiving and forwarding all ship
ments and that they collect and are
responsible for all freight monies and
are consequently the terminal agents
for all railroad companies.
The Stock Yards company owns
practically all the switches and the
terminal facilities.
Your committee reports that the
Stock Yards company receives about
$4,000 annually for the use of the
property enclosed in pens; about $4,-
500 is received annually In gross IN
come per acre; s2,250 net income per
acre. and that each single carload pen
returns about the same amount of
revenue as three average offices in
their exchange building, also that each
of these open cattle yards command
practically the same rental as an
average office in the New York Life
building.
The subject of short weights on
feed and hay by the yard company
was investigated at the suggestion OF
the committee from Missouri, with the
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-02-05

mony shows that this latter complaint
is the most grievous and witnesses
testified that the average time cattle
stood waiting to be weighed WAS from
one to two hours and that during this
time they shrink from five to ten
pounds per head and that this entails
on the farmers and shippers a great
loss
Changes Proposed.
Your committee recommends for
the consideration of this legislature
the following:
1. That the present charges for
feed be maintained; that a law be
passed legalizing the present charges
of twenty-five cents per head for
weighing cattle, ten cents for calves,
six cents for hogs. and five cents for
sheep up to maximum price of $3.50
per carload
2. 1t recommends that a law be en-
acted requiring all companies doing a
public stock yards business to provide
sufficient \ Weighing facilities and
equipment and with penalty attached

g. That the attorney general of

Newer and Better
DamdSkS

We ask your attention to the unexam-

scmest and best wearing of Irish Table
Linens. This particular line we are
showing for the first time. For utility
and beauty these linens are unapproach-
ed by any others of their class. One side
is silver bleached, the other unbleached,
but not brown, just delicate creamy
tint of peculiar richness. Practically
double damasks, the finish being so
nearly the same that either side is avail
able for the right side. On the cream
ground, the patterns-unusually beauti-
full in them selves-are thrown out in the
silver bleached thread, seemingly in re-
lief. On the other side the cream thread
comes to the surface in the design. Ev-
cry thread is fine, firm and even, in all
the various grades, from light to heavy
weights. All have the soft, satin finish
that no amount of washing impairs, but
which improves with time. Being I'M
touched by chemicals in bleaching, these
linens are remarkably long lived. They
bleach a pure white in the course of
wear-though by virtue of the peculiar
weave retain the relief effect in design.
You get double wear from them because
you have their service all the time the
bleaching process is going on.
Seeing these lines means buying. See
them today.
