Ten 1acoman's S Among
Victims---H Fog
Cause OF Collision

Seventeen persons, ten of them
Tacomans, we're injured when the
lnterurban limited from Seattle
and the local from Tacoma met at
Farrow siding at 9:25 last night
and came together with a crash
! The limited was running go
miles an hour and Motorman
Clark did not see the fiagman sent
out from the local to rtop the
train, owing to the fog. He had
Just time. to set the brakes and
jump when he saw the cars ahead.
The local was stopped preparing
TO take the siding. No one in
the local was injured.
| When the crash came every
window in the limited was broken.
The passengers were cut by flying
glass and thrown into the aisles,
some unconscious. The wiring
set fire to the front end of the
car and prompt action of the
trainmen alone saved the passen-
gers from being burned. A fire
extinguisher soon put out the
| flames.
The limited was a new steel car
and 1t did not crumple up. This
probably saved the occupants. Al
special with Drs. Grant Hicks, Ed
win James, j. r. Brown, John
Bean and c. P. Cannon went to
the wreck and the injured were
brought in and taken home or to-
| Fannie Paddock hospital or the
Tacoma hotel.

KANSAS COAAENT

KANSAS AND THE CORPORATION
Since the enactment of the federal
statute making it a felony for a cor
poratlon to contribute to campaign
FUNDS, or to expenses of election of
any candidate at an election at which
any federal officer is to be elected. it Is
no longer possible to try the fat out
of corporations for political purposes.
Iney are, as they ought to be, out of
what is known as practical politics.
There is no reason to believe that the
corporations, or the brewers. are TAX
ing any active part in the campaign
now being carried on in this state. In
their relations to corporations, the rec
ords of the two dominant parties in
this state are very much alike, and
there is no essential difference, in this
regard, in their platforms. No we'll
advised corporation manager believes
that either Hodges or Stubs really
means to do the corporations an inten-
uonal injustice. Kansas is not. and
never has been, an anti-corporation
state. The disposition is to treat all
corporations fairly and justly. The
Kansas corporations are in no danger
from either party, so long as they be-
have hemselves--Leavenwor Post.
LETS SUPPORT THE AMENDMENT
At the November election there will
be submitted an amendment to the
constitution changing the method of
pay of the members of the legislature.
Now the solons receive three dollars
q day and mileage at a liberal figure.
Three dollars day will not pay ordi-
nary expenses under present hotel
rates in a city the size of Topeka.
Under the present pay the legislator
must be man of means who can af-
ford to pay for an honor rather than
to be paid for his services, or he must
be ambitious in politics, and to get a
start will accept an Office which actual
ly costs him more than he receives in
return.
The only other explanation Is that
he is seeking the place with the hope
that in some way he may realize
money from some doubtful source. OF
course a man may go to a boarding
house. play the tight wad and even
save little money, but such repre-
sentative could be of no use to his con-
stituents.
The amendment calls for a salary OF
$500 for the regular term, with three
cents mile for travel. Should an
extra session be called he is to receive
500 and the same mileage.
Under present conditions. $500 is
not extravagant pay for the member.

sTUBBs SEEMS IN ERROR.

| Governor Stubs contention that
the railroads are robbers because
they make a practice of capitaltzing
and earning dividends on previous
earnings which have been put back in
their property to develop or extend It,
does not appear to be sound. And, this,
DESPITE the fact that it has received
the endorsement of some of the news
papers of the state. If 1t is a just con-
tention, it should be applied to all cor
porations and all business activities Of
every kind that may be carried on by
individuals And if this were done
there would be a big handicap to
progress in the business world. If. too,
it is a right procedure. there is not a
large and prosperous business of any
kind in Kansas or any other place, de-
veloped from a small beginning. that
has not been reared by fraud. In
deed, the governor might just as well
saw that the patrons of savings banks
are robbers" because they accept
compound interest on their deposits.
Anybody who will take the trouble
to analyze this contention of Governor
Stubs can prove its faIlacy. He can
take for an illustration any business
with the growth of which he may be
familiar He will find that it has been
built up to its present proportions on
a portion of its yearly earnings which
has been put back in it for its develop
ment and enlargement. Now, is the
man who owns such a business entitled
to reasonable return on the value of
the business as it stands today, which
means a profit, or dividend, on pre-
vious earnings he has put in it, or is
he to be limited to a return on merely
the original value of the business?
Take the farmer who buys an addi-
tional hundred acres of land on the
earnings of his original farm of two
hundred acres. Is he not entitled to
reasonable returns on this new hun
dred-acre part of his farm, even If
such returns mean profit on previous
earnings?
Certain bank stock owned by Gov
ernor Stubs has figured in his dis
cussion of railroad and financial ques-
tions with President Ripley of the
Santa Fe. 1t is fair to assume that
Governor Stubs purchased this bank
stock out of his earnings as a con-
tractor, Who will eorne to the front
and say that the governor is not en-
titled to a reasonable dividend on this
bank stock. even If it is dividend on
previous profit obtained by him
And if it is right for every one in
every field of endeayor to receive rea-
sonable returns on previous earnings.
it is surely right for the railroads to
do the same thing.
No one but a financial buccaneer will
insist that the railroads have right
to issue large amounts of capital stock
according to their mere whims and on
nothing tangible in the way of inn
proved property and with no intention
of disposing of this stock at its face
value, but dividing it up among the
stockholders for nothing more than a
song, and then earning dividends on
such a capitalization. That Is a per-
nicious form Of stock watering"
