Joseph Longshore, state oil inspec-

an opinion as to whether or not the
amount OF business of any oil refinery
or oil firm in a month should deter.
mine the amount Of the inspection
fees to be charged. Under the law a
certain fee is Charged for inspecting
less than ten barrels Of oil or gaso-
line, another fee for less than twenty.
five barrels ad another fee for all over
fifty barrels. Heretofore this has been
taken to mean that II refinery or
firm had so barrels of oil inspected
each month that 1t received the lower
fee rate even II the inspections were
made at the rate of two barrels a day.
The inspector believes that the fees
should be charged according to the
number of barrels inspected on each
trip regardless of the number inspect
ed In any one month and has asked
the attorney general II the old plan
should not be discontinued. II the
new plan is put into effect 1t will In

Topeka.-Unless financial reports Of
all corporations chartered by the Kan
sas Charter board are on file with the
secretary Of state within 80 days. At
torney General Fred 8. Jackson VIII
start proceedings against those falling
for the purpose Of revoking tneir CHAR
tiers. This was decision reached
by the State Charter board. The
board is made up of the attorney gen
eral, the secretary of state and the
state bank commissioner
This action is the result OF a dis
covery made by Revenue Collector j
H. Simpson, but known by state Off
Gals for some time. Simpson was
looking up the corporations to find out
what their earnings were. He found
that many of them had not been re
porting to the secretary Of state. The
law specifically requires that corpora
tons chartered in this state shall
make regular reports to the secretary
Of state, showing their financial condi
ton.
The government collects tax OF Q
certain per cent on all earnings over
$4,000. Simpson was not willing tc
take the word of the corporations as
to their earnings and came to Topeka
to look up their records. He found
very few records and Immediately re
ported the matter to the attorney
general. 1t Is estimated that charters
have been granted for about 10000
corporations in this state, and 1t Is
further estimated by officials in the
office of the secretary of state that moi
more than one-third Of them have svel
filed their annual reports.
No attempt has been made for years
to compel the filing of these reports
The charter board has now decided
that unless the delinquent corporations
file their reports within 80 days the
attorney general will be instructed tt
start proceedings to annul the char
tiers of such companies.

DIAMONDS IN THREE STATES.
Arkansas Stones Compare Well in Value
with South African Product.

Maiden lanes jewelers. were surprised
yesterday when they learned the result
of recent prospecting for diamonds in
three states of this country and that in
Arkansas diamonds of fine quality are
now being found. More diamonds were
found in this country last year than ever
before. The facts are given in Douglas
Sterrett's report to the United States
geological survey
Conditions in the Arkansas fields are
more promising than ever before. At
one point, $40 diamonds We're found, OF
which 800 weighed 217 carats. Three
stones which We're cut proved to be
worth from $50 to S175 a carat. These
values are said to compare favorably
with those of South African diamonds.
The other states in which prospecting
is now being conducted are California
and Kentucky and small diamonds are
said to have been found in both.-New
