STUBS TELLS WHY.
Can Not Compromise state by Accept
ing New Freight Schedules.

Governor w. r. Stubs refuses to
accept the freight rate compromise
proposed by the railroads. He has
given out the following statement:
referring to the press reports
which state that the governor was OPP
posed to compromise through which
there would be a reduction in freight
rates in Kansas from ten to fifty per
cent on grain, live stock, lumber, coal,
salt, ETC., will say that these reports
persons who do not know all the facts
in the case.
1.-THE proposition made by the rail-
road companies did not involve any
substantial reduction in rates on any
large volume of traffic, except cattle
and lumber, and in return for this re-
duct1on this administration and the
railroad board were to be tied hand
and foot with reference to all future
regulation of freight rates in Kansas
until a permanent change in CONNER
cial or traffic conditions occurred in
was used in the proposition submitted
to the governor:
Prior to entering upon such
conference the railroad companies de-
sire to know that the freight rate ad-
JuStment thus arrived at will be recOg-
nized by the board of railroad COM
missioners and yourself as satisfac-
tory, so far as local Kansas distance
tariff rates are concerned, and to be
permanent until changed commercial
or traffic conditions warrant a furth-
err revision thereof
''This provision precluding any pos
sibility of the railroad board or the
present state administration from
making any further efforts looking
toward freight reductions was a sac
rifiee of the rights of the state which
could not be considered from my
Of view

COSTS 100000 A DAY.
Italy Is Caring for 100000 Victims of
Earthquake.

Rome, Jan. 22.-Italy is confronted
with grave problem, the caring for
the 100000 persons made homeless by
the earthquake of last month in Sicily
and Calabria and who have dispersed
not only to the interior of their native
provinces, but have gone in great
numbers to Naples and other of the
large cities of the country.
At present it is estimated it is cost
ing 100000 a day to meet the simplest
necessities of the poor, sum with
which international charity nor the
state can long continue to bear.
Furthermore, the bestowal of charity
is having an i'll effect upon the lower
classes and many disorders are re-
ported to result 1t is strongly urged
here that public works be speedily in
augurated to afford employment for
those who can labor and that the be-
stowal of charity be restricted to those
who are sick or helpless.

AGAINST CHURCH UNION.
kentucky Court Knocks Merger of
Presbyterian Bodies.

Frankfort, Kan, Jan. 22.-The
Cumberland Presbyterian church has
lost it's case in the court of appeals in
a lengthy opinion by Judge Parker.
The case involved the validity of the
union between the Cumberland Pres
byterian church and the Presbyterian
church in the United States of Amer
lea. The litigation arose over a con-
test between the two factions of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church at
Sturgis, KY, one of which favored the
union and the other opposed it. The
circuit court decided in favor of the
party which opposed the union, and
held that the general assembly and
presbyteries of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church had exceeded their
constitutional powers in forming the
union.

Fair at Hutchinson Only.

The first of the state fair bills was
introduced in the house by Morgan of
Reno on behalf of Hutchinson. The
measure provides for the establishment
of a state fair at or near the city of
Hutchinson to be under the direction
of the state board of agriculture. 1t
provides that within sixty days after
the passage of the bill the state board
Hutchinson and decide whether or not
the proposition made by the Central
Kansas Fair association, the Hutchin-
son Park association and the people of
Reno county have compiled with GER
tain requirements and if so it shall
take immediate possession of the fair
grounds and improvements and hold
fair there in 1909.
The Hutchinson proposition is as fol-
lows: The city will donate to the state
126 acres adjacent to the city improve
ments there. Then the bill asks for an
appropriation of 100000, the money to
be turned over to the state agricultural
board to be used in developing and i'm
proving the grounds. For the year
ending June 80, 1910, a total of $4,000 is
asked for and $4,000 in 1911.
Topeka and Wichita will present
state fair bills this week, indeed the
Topeka measure will likely be present.
ed today and it is a more patriotic and
broader bill than that introduced by
the Hutchinson representative. The
Topeka bill provides for the establish
cided later in joint session. If Topeka
gets it we'll and good; If not, why there
will still be a state fair. The Hutchin-
son bill is selfish. 1t calls for fair at
Hutchinson or none at all.
