Simplicity

What is the keynote of the remark
able success of the Overland? What
is it makes this car the choice of many
thousands OF people; JOY of its
possessors and the envy OF its COM
petitors? Matchless simplicity! This
car is so simple child can success
fully run IL. 1t is so economical that
its upkeep is a very small item. So
sturdy and trouble-free that its sue
cessful negotiation of the trans
continental trip is only question of
the time it takes. What more could
you ask of any car at any price?
Come and see the cars for yourself.
We have them here.

DENIED BY eALLINeEa.

Washington, Jan. 1l.-Secretary Ballinser tonight issued a lengthy statement which in the most vigorous terms declared that the charges by Representative Hitchcock before the congressional committee, aimed at the interior department and the general land office. were without foundation.
 Answering each of the charges made by Representative Hitchcock, MT Ballinger asserts trat insofar as they allege extravagance, wrongdoing or favoritism. they are absolutely with out foundation"
 False, ridiculously false: equally false; and equally ridiculous, and pecu- liarly unwarranted is the assault up- on an efficient government officer the latter referring to Schwartz. chief of the field service. are expressions Mir: Ballinger uses in his repudiation of the various charges.

 Support Kansas Schools.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The Bush act of the state of Kansas. which sought to compel outside corporations to pay a charter fee for the benefit of state schools. as a condition of doing busi- ness in the state, was held invalid by the supreme court of the United States in a divided decision announced to- day. Justice Harlan and Justice White signed the controlling opinion. and Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justices Holmes and McKenna dis scented.
 The case was that of the Western Union Telegraph company vs- the state of Kansas. The Western Union has fought the law on the ground of ac- quired rights and contended that the law was unconstitutional. as seeking to impose a burden upon interstate commerce.
 Justice White concurred in the find ing the majority. but for different reasons-and he read an opinion out lining his views.

His messengers salary was also raised from s720 to $500, it is al- legged.
 Special agents. says MT. Hitchcock. have been selected from the clerks at Washington who know practically nothing of the lands of the west. nor of fraudulent methods nor of law.

Wilcox. appointed by Commissioner ,Dennett, Mr Schwartz's endorsement of Wilcox recommending him as a near dentist The committee will probably meet next Saturday-to con- tinue the investigation.

 Clifford Pinchot was one of the principal speakers of the afternoon. He said that subjects such as forestry preservation had been advocated by Americans for more than one hun- dred years. but that the control of the waterpower monopoly in the com mon interest was young in the pres ent century.
 "We have come at last to the point of action.' he said. and we must either go forward or fall back" In his judgment the present situation offers a field for further action and for cooperation between the states themselves and between them and the nation.
 "The great principles we have been working for.- said MT. Pinchot. must be written in our laws or-the chance may pass. Public sentiment is pre- pared and awake. For the second time a Iresident of the United States has endorsed those principles in a message to congress. Most of the recommendations which the recent message contained are well known to the friends of conservation and well approved If it has omissions or pas sages with which I disagree. l have no concern with them today.
 "The president urges that the meas- ures he recommends be taken up and disposed of promptly without await ing an investigation that has been determined upon. 1 echo his desire There can be no reason to await the result of the investigation before act ing on those measures. They stand by themselves"
 In addition to the presidents speech at the morning session. Seth Low, president of the federation. and Judge Alton B. Parker spoke.
 With President Taft as central figure there were gathered on the stage a notable group. Labor was represented by Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell: the law by Senator Root. Alton B. Parker and ex-Asso- ciate Justice Brown; business by John Hays Hammond, John F. Dryden and others
