The Blight of the Tainted Havemey

New Tragedies That Mark the merchandising Trail of the Fl

The Topeka state journal., 1913-12-30
SAME old STORY
New Years Fowls Are Scarce
and Prices Soar.
But Eggs Are Down to IS Cents
q Dozen at Last.

Local dealers frantically have been
placing orders for turkeys, geese.
chickens and. duolks for the New
Years trade, but fowls are scarce.
There was an unusually heavy de-
mand for birds in anticipation of the
Christmas feasts. and now there is q
famine" in ducks and geese.
There will be limited supply of
turkeys and the prices will range
about two cents higher than was The
case in connection with the Christmas
trade. One store that asked twentv-
five cents a pound for the gobbIe-
gJbble birds is now demanding twen-
ty-seven cents, and there are stores
where they are even more expensive.
The manager of one big Topeka
store said today: 1--WE have a man
out in the outlying country districts
and he has been unable to buy ducks
and geese. If we do get any Of them
we'll probably have to pay q premium
for them and consequently will be
compelled to raise the price. Chick
ems are scarce too. Fresh country
eggs went down to thirty-five cents a
dozen but are now selling at forty
cents. Monday were were unable to
buy any eggs at ALL"
There are hot house vegetables Mt
the stores in variety There are
some fancy vegetables that. are out Of
the reach of tho working people, as 10
the case with fancy imported fruits.
Taking everything into consideration
the cost of the New Years dinner will
be steep.

PEACE IS IN SIGHT.
Strike of Frisco Telegraphers Seems
Likely to Be Averted.

st. Louis. Dec. 30.-With the resump-
ton OF negotiations between the re-
ceivers of the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad and the grievance COM
mittee Of the Order of Railroad Tele-
graphers here today. a compromise was
looked for which would dispel all
thoughts OF the threatened strike Of
!. 100 telegraphers employed by the
road. The main subjects under discus
sion today were the number Of hours
and working conditions, the question of
salary increase having been compro-
missed yesterday. From the statement
of both receivers and telecraphers, the
are pleasant" and peace
seems assured.
The situation was ably summed by H.
B. Perham, president of the telegraph
ers.
'aThe Frisco officials" he said, nat
urally are doing all they can to avert
the strike without granting the conces-
sions asked. The officials of the tele-
graphers are doing all they can to get
the demands granted without calling a
strike. We have no ill-feeling toward
the receivers. They are only doing
their duty

REVENUE OR NOT?
Sand Royalty Decision L
Awaited AnxiOusly.
More Than $4,000 in Returns
Depend on Court.

State officials are awaiting the SUI
preme courts action on the sand roy
atty case when decisions are handed
down by that tribunal Jan. 10. The
decision in that case means that the
state can or cannot legally collect
some $5O,UO0 a year in royalties for
sand taken from the navigable
streams OF the state.
Last winter when the state passed
the sand royalty law, the Democrats
rubbed their hands in glee. They saw
extra revenue for the handling Of the
states business and another step in
their fight to cut down state taxes
which they have SO far failed to do.
But Just when the law became Oper-
ative-bang. Something happened.
The sand company officials went into
executive session and emerged to tell
the Kansas state officials that Kansas
could take her sand royalty law and
fall in the creek backwards. They
wouldn't pay royalties.
Since that time, however, some Of
the sand companies have thought bet
ter of the matter. They have been
paying royalties to the state auditor
But always under protest. The con-
stitutionality of the case is in the
hands of the courts. Some of the liti-
igation is in the hands of the state
supreme court. Another installment
has been checked up to the federal
courts. But a victory in the state
courts will relieve the minds Of state
officials to a great extent and prob
ably permit them to continue their
collection Of royalties.
About $4,000 has been collected
under the law. But If the state loses
its case, the money must be paid back
to the companies doing business along
the banks of the Missouri, Kaw and
Arkansas rivers in Kansas. The Weir
Sand company, the Jackson-Walxer
Coal and Material company and a
number Of other corporations are in
terested in the final decision in the
case.

Kansas win Make . Good

Interesting Report of Fire Mar
shall Parkman.
Arrests and Convictions Follow
in Laws Wake.
First Results of q Democratic
Department.

When the report Of State Fire Mar
shall Harrison Parkman Is issued next
month, 1t will give the first real facts
concerning the fire waste in Kansas
documents from any of the state de-
partments. Parkman believes that his
annual report. to be issued early In
January. will show material decreases
in fire losses over 1912, based on esti-
mated figures for last year.
The fire marshal law was enacted
by the 1913 legislature and created the
office OF state fire marshal, with pow
er and authority to investigate all
fires, hold inquisitions and compel the
f1l1ng OF reports from fire chiefs, mu-
nicipal and township officials and
power to arrest and prosecute persons
suspected of arson. Since the law was
passed. many arrests have been made.
cured and the new state department is
only beginning to gets bearings and
prove Its real worth to the state. Ex-
pense Of the department is borne by
the lire insurance companies from
their earnings in Kansas.
Loss In 1912 45,475,OOO.
In 1912, according to unofficial fig
ures secured by Ike s. Lewis state
superintendent OF insurance, the fire
loss In Kansas was something like
$5,475.O00. or $456,250 a month. These
figures were taken from reports Of
fire insurance companies on losses on
insured properties and approximate
and arbitrary estimates on other fire
losses.
!. Parkman's first annual report, will
contain official figures on the last
nine months of the present year, with
conservative approximate figures on
the states fire loss for January, Feb
ruary and March. Thus the first re-
port will not be exact in detail. But
IT; Will furnish q basis for future COM
.parisons.
1T really believe that the fire loss
for this year will be far below that of
last year." said Parkman in discussing
his report. ''Of course we haven't the
December figures and only a part of
the November figures have been COM
piled. But using the figures Of $5.-
'47b.O00 for last year, am confident
That We will come we'll under that
amount. Every possible evidence Of
arson In Kansas has been carefully in
vestiEateds "A good many arrests have
been made and the cases have been
vigorously prosecuted and a good per
cent OF convictions secured This has
all had . most wholesome effect. II
should mean a lessening Of the fire
waste in Kansas in the future: and
the comparison of figures on 1918 fire
losses with the losses of a year ago
should be most satisfactory"
Parkman expects to complete his
annual report some time in January,
1t Will be the first official report on
actual lire losses ever made in Kansas.
