In his annual report filed with
Governor Stubs yesterday Charles
w. Barnes State Superintendent OF
Insurance, makes a radical recon-
mendation. The state insurance de-
partment is the greatest revenue pro-
Queer, as a department, that the state
has. Mr.. Barnes points this out but
upon the theory that the tax levied
against the insurance companies is
levied in turn, by the insurance
companies on the people Of the state,
he believes that the tax laws relating
to insurance should be revised II not
absolutely repealed. "You will OBJ
serve," says Mr. Barnes in his report,
that the revenues of the depart
ment are constantly increasing and
that for the period covered by this
report the collections aggregate
$2JS,423.29. While these fees come
direct from the insurance companies
1t cannot be denied that 1t operates
as an additional charge upon the pur-
chaser of insurance, and am Of the
opinion that the tax laws should be
revised, if not entirely repealed,
thereby lessening the burden upon

portation, the average distance to
the railroad being perhaps 40 miles,
the population scanty, the land for
the most part uncultivated and worth
So and 81 an acre. Suppose the land
owners want to induce capital to
build a road through this section and
bring 1t In touch with the rest OF
the world. They go to those who
have money and state their case;
they describe the needs Of their
country, their own necessities and
the certainty that the railroad will
more than double the value OF their
farm lands, besides creating towns
and attracting settlers. When the
capitalist inquiries what are the
chances of profit for those who risk
their money In such venture, with
the certainty that there cah be no
return whatever till the country is
settled and the business created, the
answer Is that the state or the nation
will fix the amount Of stock or bonds
that may be issued, but will assume
none Of the risks. Seriously, Gov
ernor, does any sane man believe
that those who have money will in-
vest under such conditions?
"The passage of laws limiting is
sues of capital to the cost of the
undertaking would put an end to
railroad building, except SO far as
the existing railroads having estab-
lished credit might be willing to build
side lines or feeders, not because the
lines would be profitable in them
selves, but for their value as feed
ers to roads -already built. Here,
again, / am not speaking from self
interest or'o behalf of the Santa
Fe company, because the passage OF
such law would not hurt us, but
would effectually prevent the dan
ger that anybody will build any road
to compete with us. Here, again,
my objection to this scheme to limit
capitalization Is as a citizen, and not
as, a railroad man. 1t is not the
function of government to attempt
to protect either investors or gamb-
lers, except in the enjoyment of
their rights under the constitution
and the laws"

The newspapers generally approve
the action of the Santa Fe in trying
to make the public understand ex-
actly what the road Is doing. Now
It is going to send officials out to
talk to the people Of Kansas 10 towns
along its lines, TO give them infor-
nation on railroad subjects that is
now denied them or comes to them
in a distorted form. 1t looks says
the Lawrence Gazette. like a SPLEEN
did idea, for Information OF this sort
seldom reaches the general public
except through prejudieed chahne'a.
and the result Is the feeling that
has been created that the railroads
are the enemies Of the country In
stead Of the greatest developers aud
promoters that are to be found in
the whole country. The experiment
OF the Santa Re q western pioneer,
and to whose energy and foresight

State Labor Commissioner John
son, in a bulletin lately issued, says
that only seventy-eight railroad en-
ployes were injured in accidents in
Kansas in the first eight months Of
the year. This includes employees
in transportation, maintenance and
shop departments. The figures are
obtainable through the operation of
the law requiring all transportation
and industrial concerns to file re-
ports of all accidents with the state
labor bureau. There are 39,576 rail-
road employees in Kansas, operating
21,216 miles of line. the improved
facilities for handling trains have re-
duced the number of personal injur-
les to almost nothing, considering
the character of the work and the
army of people employed therein.

MORE ABOUT HOGS.

The best hog breeder acknowledges
there are many good things he does

he can make more, Experience is

1t pays to know how to keep hogs
healthy, how to get the most growth
in the shortest time, and how to get
the best product at the lease expense.
Do not be satisfied with what you
have, but seek to improve your drove.
And while you are about it do not
forget that the Hog Production
Train" over the Rock Island railroad
is to leave Manhattan October II, for
six-days tour. On this train will
be lecturers from the Kansas State
Agricultural College, competent TO
give valuable advice to those inter-
ested in the hog industry.
More hogs, better hogs and how to
feed them are among the important
topics to be discussed. The schedule
for his train will be printed next
week in papers published in the dis
trict to be visited.

the insured. realize, of course, that
the insurance department is the larg-
est revenue producer in our state
government and that the income thus
provided is an important factor, yet
question the advisability Of con-
tinuing a system of fees and taxes
which imposes such large tributes
upon the purchaser of all classes of
insurance, and at the same time,
operates to the disadvantage of Kan
sas companies seeking admission to
other states"

WILL HELvERING COME ACROSS?

e. G, Street, chairman Republican
congressional committee, has accept
ed G.. T. Helverings challenge to
Joint debates with R. r. Rees. He
says:
"Mr. Rees has already planned his
campaign and several Of his dates
have been definitely fixed. However.
shall be pleased to meet you In Sa-
lima on Monday, Oct. 10, and arrange
with you for holding Joint debates be-
tween these candidates in as many Of
the counties Of the Fifth district as
there are available dates"
It is expected that Helvering will
funk. The Democratic challenge
was postmarked Oct. 6 and closed
with this statement:
II shall await your answer until
the 7th of October, at which time !
trust that may meet you to arrange
as to the time and place Of holding
these meetings"
Apparently the Democratic plan
was to mail the letter SO late that
they might plead the Statute of limi-
tations" in case it was accepted,
They allowed just one day between
the time the challenge was mailed,
and the time allowed for an answer.
The Democratic challenge was not
signed by anyone. 1t was all written
in typewriter on scrap Of paper
All of which looks very peculiar.

Rrp1EY's SIDE OF 1T.


Kansas, e. P. Ripley, president OF
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company, asks permission to
compare the return to an investor In
the Santa Fe with that Of an investor
in the governors national bank at
Lawrence. Il take It," President
Ripley said, "that you would be
willing to accord a friend who had
money invested in Santa Fe holdings
the same rate of interest that you
have received on your holdings In
your banking institution. For a
period covering Is years your friend
the investor in Santa Fe holdings,
has received an average return per
annum on his investment Of about
AK per cent. Possibly your friend
with the Santa Fe holdings would
like to know II you have not receiv-
ed a much greater return per an
mum on your holdings Of bank stock.
Do you, as governor of Kansas, and
as a friend of the friend who owns
the Santa Fe holdings, feel that he
has received more than Just and
reasonable return pm Ibis invest
ment?"
Regarding Governor Stubbs' de-
mand for physical valuation Of rail-
roads, President Ripley said in his
letter: "As president Of the Santa
Fe, / have no objection to an APP
praisement Of the company's prop
erty by any fair minded body OF
experts the government may select,
because know that such body
would find the value Of the Santa
Fe to be in excess of its capitallza-
ton. Also, am sure that, with a
few conspicuous exceptions, It would
be found that the railroads of the
country as a whole are under rather
than over capitalized.
"But what | want to know Isl:
What good is to be accomplished by
such valuation? Nobody who knows
anything of the country's business
and OF transportation matters be-
leyes that capitalization has any
thing to do with fixing rates. That
notion was long ago exploded, The
only other excuse for a physical val
uation Of railroads is in order that
the government may pass laws linn
iting capitalization, AS to this, again
do not object as railroad man
or as representing the Santa Fe,
which has never issued a security
except for cash, which was invested
honestly in the property without a
single dollar of graft or perquiste
or 'rake-off' for anybody My OBJ
lection is simply as a citizen ana
tax payer.
ut is proposed That a government;
already justly criticised for It's ex-
travagance shall spend sum estl-
mated at 20 millions Of dollars for
the purpose Of ascertainlng the value
Of the railroads and the valuation
