NOT IN PLATFORM.
Says j. W. GIeed Replying to Senator
Hamilton.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
II mas been frequently asserted by
senator Hamilton and others favoring
the Dill that the Republican platform
requires a public service commits
SION Th1s is absolutely false There
Is not a word in the platform about
pubic service commission The
PLATFORM says: I'VE pledge ourselves
70 an appropriation sufficient to as
certain the valuation of the property
owned oy public service corporations"
This Is the first plank in the plat
FORM Nothing is more certain than
thaa the legislature Will not redeem
this pledge It would cost half a mil
non dollars, at least, to value the
pubic service properties in Kansas
But whether this plank in the plat
form IS redeemed or not it does not
call for a commission to SUPERVISE
and regulate all this property.
The platform then saws I'VE
pledge ourselves to enact a law pro-
VIdlng for the control by the state of
the issue of all stocks and bonds by
pubic service corporations and
limiting such issues to the value of
the property owned by such CORPORA
tons" This calls for a very simple
act to be administered by the char
ter board.
These two sections are the ONLY
sections that could possibly be con
strued as calling for a public service
commission And it is clear as noon
day that they conveyed no sort of
tnfimation of a law like the one pro-
posed I w FED

Today.

Marion. Kan. Feb 13.-The state op-
ened their rebuttal in the Carr case
today by submitting witnesses to prove
they had become dirty and grimy rid
ing train No. II from Kansas City to
Florence The defense objected to this
testimony and the Judge is withhold
ing his opinion. It is thought their
testimony will be allowed
The court gave an important decis-
ion in answer to the statement by the
defense that they had no force of de-
tectives to gather evidence by saying
that he had not seen that any evidence
had been suppressed by any one that
was material to the defense.
The state used Hazel MuIvaney, of
Newton, to prove the defendant had no
overcoat wrapped around his foot when
leaving her mothers boarding house

stated this was the last time she had

BANK BILL FIXED.
VIII Include Interest Bearing
Deposits
But Not Those Made by the
Banks.
VICTORY FOR STUBS.
Committee Has Followed the
Governors Wishes.
Hard Fight Expected to Follow
on the Floor.
FOR STUBS.

The bank deposit guaranty bill will
be presented to the house and senate
next Monday, according to the pro-
gram announced today. It was as
certained this afternoon that the joint
committee of the house and senate
has definitely decided on the bill to
be reported to the legislature The
bill agreed upon will be practically
the same as that originally prepared
by the committee and discussed at the
recent public hearing, and it will re-
tain the provisions guaranteeing in
terest- bearing deposits, with the ex-
ception that deposits of other banks
will not be entitled to privileges of the
guaranty.
That this bill will be the subject of
considerable further discussion on the
floor of both branches of the legisla-
ture is indicated in the attitude of a
number of legislators. Perhaps the
principal opposition will be concen-
trated against the clause relating to
interest bearing deposits
Personally a great many of the SEN
ators are convinced that the
state is wrong in principle. In fact,
the assertion is ventured that only a
few of them. If any, believe the prin-
efpIe of the legislation is right al
though none will admit his private
opinion for publication However,
the question of whether or not the
principle is right or wrong, has been
entirely eliminated from consid Grafton
on this subject OF legislation. The
people of the state, through their
party pledges, have declared in favor
of the guaranty project, and the men,
bers of the legislature feel that they
are obliged to surrender their pri-
vate opinions in order to carry out
the expre ssed will OF the people and
the promises of their party.
Nearly every member of the senate
has received letters from bankers and
others throughout the state protesting
especially against guaranteeing in
derstood that even the members of
the joint committee charged with
preparing the bill have grave doubts
about the justice of including that
class of deposits in the proposed law.
But upon this feature Governor
Stubs Is insistent and the committee
has heard the cracking of the execu-
will heed the demands of the ad-
ministration.
It is conceded that a guaranty law
Will be passed by the legislature at the
present session, but there may be
some doubt as TO whether all the fea-
lures demanded by the administration
will be included in the bill that will be
finally passed Some of the prominent
members of the. senate, who are op-
posed to including interest bearing de-
posts under the guaranty, would prob
ably be recouciled to a compromise
proposition that no individual interest
bearing deposit of more than $500,
under the act This limit, it is argued.
will permit of the guaranty of savings

poSitors of moderate means
