Gov. HOeh On the Special Session.

The Governor has given out tn,
following interview regarding the
work of the special session:
The work of the special ses-
sion, exclusive of IFS action unon
the depositor'' guaranty PROPOSE
ton and upon the bill to give ad-
ditional power for the enforce
ment of the Drohibitory law.
which passed the House but falle1
to pass in the Senate, was most
excellent. Th, demand of the
people for primary election law
was lobby responded to, and one
of the b'st laws perhaps on the
statute books of any State was ell
acted. No law. of course, on so
important a subject is perfect and
this one may need some, perhaps
many amendments which can BE-
made as time and experience deve-
lop the wisdom. But the people
will nov have an oppO rtunity to
select all of their public servants
from the highest t. the lowest in
this State at a direct primary cleo
ton. This is the way we long
have sought.
The needed amendments to
the tax commission law we're also
made which will satisfy the tax
payers of the State that they will
not be burdrne1 with unusual taxa
tlOn as was possible without these
amendments. Either of these
achievements is ample viDdicaticn
for this special session and more
than justi6es the comparatively
small cost.
In addition to all this a great
deal of much needed and very
valuable local legislation was en-
acted. ! quite agree with the
Kansas City Star that that had in
relation to local interest OF Kansas
City Kans.. the largest city in the
State. was in itself of sufi.
cient importance to justify a special
session of the Legislature"
The failure of the Legislature
to pass a depositors guaranty law is
greatly to be regretted and was a
great mistake in my Judgement.
because its passage was not only
wise and right as a matter of
principal and of economic policy
but it would have aved the bank
ing and business interests of the
State from the further discussion
of the subject during the campaign
which is now inevitable. The
people with great unanimity de-
sired this law and che failure of
the Legislature to enact it will
meet with their most emphatic dis
approval. Thew will see to it that
a Legislature is elected this year
that will respond to this reason
able demand, anu urge the
people in every part of the State
to permit no man to represent them
in the next Legislature who is not
sound upon this proposition. 1t is
a pity that the splendid record of
this Legislature in two session
should have been marred by this
unfortunate failure".

CURTIS on GAMBLING.
ReCOFd-Herald Correspondent Gives a
Few Facts and Figures.

William E. Curtis. the well
known newspaper correspondent
writing TO the Chicago Record
Herald concerning the Presidents
special message says.
Every body except brokers
who get rich upon commissions for
doing the business. commends that
part of the President srecent mes
sage which refers to The suppress
sion of gambling in stocks, bonds.
and futures. Everybody agrees.
except the gentleman a forsaid ard
the gamblers them:elves. that it
would be a good thing to pass a
law. as he suggests. forbidding
them to use the mails and the
telegraph and telephone wires for
such purposes. just as the lottery
companies are prohibited from
using them. There is very little
difference between a lottery
ticket and a memorandum record
ing the purchase of a few shares
of stocks or few bales of cotton.
or few bushels of grain Oh mar
gins. There is verv little differ
ence between stock gambling
and faro or keno or roulette. It
all depends UPON the size of the
stake, whether we regard it as
right or wrong.
The newsboy who PLAYS game
of craps in a back corner of the
alley is engaged in a business
quite as honorable and quite as re-
specable as the man who buys
twenty, thirty or fifty Thousands
dollars worth of stocks or grain or
cotton on margins and then sells as
soon as he sees an advance of a few
points in value. We are told that
"one murder makes a william hun
dreds hero." etc.. and the size OF
the transaction makes it right or
wrong in the opinion of gentlemen
who are in the business.
1t will be conceded that the
great majority of defalcations, en-
bezzlements aud other breaches of
trust are due to gambling on mar
gins and that it is the cause of un-
told misery and wretcnedness, in
sanity and of many suicides. Igave
a long series of facts on this SUBJ
iect in recent letter, and the op-
inion of several presidents o { Sc
curity companies and others whose
business makes them familiar with
such matters. | also gave the stats
tics of deaths by suicide and heat
disease that followed the recent
panic. Volumes could bv written
against stocks and grain gambling,
but not one word can be said in its
favor.
Hence one should object to
the Presidents position when it
says:
In connection with measures
to restrain stock watering and
overcapitalization there should be
measure taken to prevent at least
the grosser forms of gambling in
securities and commodities. such
as making large sales of what men
do not possess and cornering the
market.
Legitimate purchases for invest
ment have no connection whatever
with purchases of stocks or other
securities or commodities on a
margin for speculative or gamb-
ling purposes. There il no moral
difference between gambling at
cards or in lotteries or on the race
track and gambling on the stock
market.
We should study both the sue
cesses and the failure of foreign
legislators who, notably in Ger

$500, 1884, 800. The stock Of the
Southern Pacific outstanding
amounts to sl97.S47.2OO. vet the
transactions in those securities
on the New York Stock Exchange
last year amounted to S7l3.633, 900
Even SO conservative company
as the PENNSYLVANIA is the sport of
the gamblers. During the year
1907 the quotation varied from
141K on Jan. 5 to 1887 on Nov.
4, and the transactions represented
a value of 1905, S2S,3OO.
The American Smelling and
Refining Company has capiaI of
$50, 900. 900 and the transactions.
it its shares last year amounted to
$685., 9O5, 200, the price varying
from l55 on Jan. Z to 5SA OIL
Nov. IS.
1t is not necessary to cite apy
further examples, and it is safe
to say that not more than 5 per
cent of these transactions repre-
sented Legitimate investments IN
which the certificates actually pass
ed from the seller to the buyer.
During the last three months of
the year however. nearly all of
the buying was done by small in
vestOrs. While the gamblers were
broken in purse and spirit they
took advantage of the low price to
pick uD gifted edged shares and
out them away for dividends. The
la gest number of transactions be-
tween Nov. l. and Dec. 81 we're
for less than a hundred shares and
the transfer clerks had to work
night and day making out certi6-
Gates for i've. ten. twenty and fifty
shares for people whose names
were never before upon their
books. There is a very strong
sentiment in Congress particular
" in the House of Representa-
tives in favor of adopting the Pre-
sident's recommendation and pass
ing a law prohibiting the use of
the mails a. d telegraph and tele-
phone wires for gambling. Seve-
raj bills have already been intro
duced and Colonel Hepburn of
Iowa who is chairman of the
committee having jurisdiction over
that subject, is giving it very care
full study. Several of the states
have passed laws to the same
effect. There has been a general
and successful crusade against
the bucket shops. which indicates
public sentiment on this subject
and it would seem to be a popular
topic Of legislation.
A great moral wave is sweeping
over the country. Several OF the
states, particularly in the South
have passed laws prohibiting even
card playing. A friend of mine
was telling me the other day that
down at Birmingham. Ala. last
week the authorities prohibited a
card party at the Country Club,
to which large number of the
most aristocratic and estimable
ladies Of that city had been in
vited.
