Now Under Cover.

of Dangerous Element.
ATTITUDE IN STATES

Mcpherson, KAN, JAN &c. r..
Mingenback, secretary of the Farmers
Alliance Insurance company of Nc
Pherson, says that there is a movement
an attack on the Barnes insurance law,
which gives the state the right to reg
u1ate rates. He is sending out letters
to different places in hopes of ascer-
tanning the sentiment of the people and
also to call the legislators attention to
by the old time companies who seek to
have the Barnes law repealed. A por-
ton of the letter follows:
Dear Sir: The Barnes fire insur-
ance law passed by the last legislature,
is in danger of being repealed, and In
place of it the rate making power in
Kansas will go back to the old system
of piracy. The rebaters and the state
agents for the big old line reserve COM
panies will join hands to down the law
that now protects people against I'M
position and fraud. The maintenance
of an insurance rating for the protec-
ton of the weak against the strong Is
good morals and every righteous citi-
zen should stand for it.
since the Barnes law went into eff
feet all fire insurance rates in Kansas
have been reduced from II to 20 per
cent. and there has. been a big saving
to the public. There are some risks,
however, on which the hazard has been
increased instead Of reduced but every
normal risk has received the benefit of
the cut made by Superintendent
Barnes.
There are at least dozen other
states that will adopt the Barnes IN
surance law just as soon as their leg1s-
Iatures meet, which is evidence that
Kansas opinion of the law is good. not
only at home but abroad as well. 1T

lions from time to time

FORTY CARS TO HAUL CROP.
Chase County Farmer Raises 600 Tons
of Alfalfa.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, jan "a
No less than forty freight cars will be
required to haul to market part OF
the alfalfa crop which was raised on
the C. M Gregory farm east of town,
last season. There will be between ooO
and 500 tons of alfalfa hay and as
10 tons will fill the average size car
it will take good long train to move
the crop This, however, represents
only two cuttings from 500 acres
which is in alfalfa on this farm.
There were four hay crops last year,
so the entire output if sent to market
would be nearer eighty carloads in
stead of forty. Two cuttings were
kept on the farm to be used as feed
for cattle and horses.
