HE'S STILL FOR BILLIARD.
HinkIe, Resubmission Fixer, Believes
in Topeka Mayor.

Edwin Hinkle, Topeka manager of
the Manufacturers and Business Mems
association, left today for Chicago,
where he will confer with the national
officials concerning the approaching
campaign in drouthy Kansas. HlnkIe
is certain that the resubmission fight
in the state next year will be a prize
attraction and that the association will
let loose of considerable real money in
an effort to educate" the people.
Beginning next week the officers of
the association will hold a protracted
session in Chicago The situation in
Kansas will be one of the things that
will puzzle the minds of the men in
this conference. For this reason Hin
kle will be a busy party in the gather
ing. 1t is Hinkle who has maps and
charts, testimonials, petitions and per-
sonal letters outlining the Kansas
sentiment. In addition to this Hinkle
has been well over the state He mas
taken the pulse of the farmer, the
laborer the banker and the lawyer.
Hinkle knows where resubmission is
strong He knows where prohibition
has a grip on the community. He has
in his office the names of every man,
woman and child from Wyandotte to
Stanton who is willing to labor in their
precinct. In nine months Hinkle has
distributed literature, talked with the
people and made speeches in the inter
est of the unlimited supply of John
Barleycorn.
For these reasons the national
heads of the association can not trans
act Kansas business without Hinkle's
presence. The Topeka man declined
to discuss everything that might hap
pen in Kansas next year. He modest
" confessed that the fight for resub-
mission would be a simon pure battle
and that the NJ. and B. M. A. was in
the state to oppose prohibition.
about all I know at this time said
Hinkle, as he glanced at railway
other, sis that one of the big fights for
resubmission next year will be in KAN
sas. Our association has many strong
men and prominent speakers and some
of the best of these will be turned
loose out here. OF course I think we
will win. We have been winning
everywhere. Then there has been
powerful change in sentiment in this
state the last few months. Perhaps
the average person hasn't noticed this
fact, but you will see what Is happen
ing in less than another year."
Hinkle is optimistic. He is also a
staunch admirer of Mayor J. B. Billiard
and is sure Billiard will sweep the state
in his race for governor and add
strength to the cause.
But in reviewing the situation, Hin
kle does not allow his enthusiasm to
run away with him. He was too wise
to name the associations alleged new
strongholds. Neither does Hinkie pro-
duce the names of the prominent
Kansans' who will participate in the
coming resubmission campaign. But
Hinkle says these men will report
when the campaign opens and the
public is left to make such deductions
as it may

New York stoe::1 Market.

Wall St, New York, July 1.-STOCKS-
Strength of the Erie issues which were
influenced by the report that the road was
to be affiliated with Canadian Pacific
was the feature of the stock market at
the opening today. Erie first and second
preferred gained d point each and the
common a substantial fraction Canadian
Pacific remained virtually stationary A
heavy buying movement in western Mary
land advanced that stock 21k.
American Beet Sugar gained a point
and American aCr and Foundry IS. United
States Steel was not affected by the gov
eminent report and the stock gained a
small fraction. A few of the less active
issues were weak. Great Northern Ore
certificates lost 1as, International Steam
and Pump IL. and Toledo, ST. Louis and
Western preferred q.
The general market made only feeble
response to a rise in United States Steel
to 1914 and prices shaded off afterwards,
with Atchison and Southern Pacific lead
ing the decline. The attendance of trad
ers on the first floor was small.
The market closed steady, the slight
advances effected in the early buying
movement were lost when the list adopted
a more definite downward tendency.
Atchison and Southern Pacific were espe-
cially heavy and were forced to about
half point below yesterdays closing.
The remainder of the list steadied around
last nights level.

BETTER ALL AROUND.
A Marked Improvement in the Bust
ness of the Country.

New York, July 1.-Dun's Weekly
Review says:
The best development of the bust
ness situation at the opening of the
second half of the year is the marked
improvement in the iron and steel
trade, in which there is a decided In
able expansion in actual output.
In view of the important relations
which this great trade bears to all the
business interests of the country, both
industrial and agricultural this sm-
proyement is significant of distinct
change for the better all-around.
The condition of the country can be
described as sound, when its steel
trade is beginning to expand, when
the export commerce is creating q big
surplus in favor of the United States,
when the big gold output continues,
when money is plentiful, when indus
trial production is being held to the
limits OF the consumptive demanded.
when stocks of merchandise are low
on the shelves. when economy, per-
sonal and corporate, has been long
practiced and when many of the issues
which have been perpIexing business
men and retarding enterprise are past
Emphasis is now given in the prim-
airy markets for dry goods to the vol
ume of curtailment at mills; many of
the larger producers will close for a
week or ten days and the restriction
of production will be formidable. The
very limited stocks of merchandise in
first hands continue to attract unusual
attention from merchants and manu-
facturers

provides that land values and i'm
provernents should be assessed separ-
ately and listed in separate columns of
the tax report. This simple measure
was Mr.. Purdy's masterpiece of public
service. 1t gave New York a new
view of the taxation of real estate.
Mr.. Purdy looks more like an en-
minent statesman than the head of a
tax commission and his education and
culture are those of d statesman. He
is a graduate of Trinity College, Har-
ward, the son of a clergyman, and a
man who has made his own way from
the bottom to the top.
Last year, largely through his efforts
the department raised the assessment
of land values by nine hundred million
