The plea often made that automo-
biles from other states pass through
certain states to the detriment Of
their highways is not an effective
plea to the thinking man, since au'
tomobiles passing through a state
leave much more money behind than
they destroy in the value of road sur
facings, and it is felt.that each state,
as general proposition, should be
willing to build it's roads so that tour
list traffic would be encouraged. Ma
tional aid would, however, produce a
quickening of this construction on
the main lines, and without doubt
would be of value in this regard.

ANSWERS CRITICS
OF BLUE SKY Law
]. N. DOIIey Points Out Benefits
Of the Measure.
SAVES MONEY TO THE STATE
Crooked Investment Concerns Of
Other States Get Reply to Their
Charges Regarding the OPP
GRAFTON of the Measure.

The crooked investment concerns
Of New York, Illinois and California
and other states have been making
all sorts of charges about the Kansas
blue sky law and its alleged failure,
even going to the extent of saying
that j. N. Dolley, the author of the
law, had announced that it was a
failure. Mr.. Dolley gave out a state
nent Of how good he thought the law
was the other day. He said:
During the campaign for the pas
sAge of the blue sky law, notice
that this legislation is very strongly
assailed and condemned in certain
states. It's enemies are becoming
very active indeed. They have even
gone to the extent in the state OF
New York and elsewhere of stating
that l have given out an interview
saying that the blue sky law had
proven to be unavoidable in Kansas
and was bad legislation. / wish to en-
phatically deny these charges, and to
say that have never issued or made
any such statement.
THE blue sky law has proven to
be very successful in its operation in
Kansas, and has completely driven
out of our state the illegitimate
stock and investment statesmen, an
army OF more than five thousand,
who had been preying upon the Kan
sas people for the past fifty years to
the extent Of having taken out of
the state tens of millions of dollars
during the period, and l have failed
to find single case where any money
has ever been returned to the in
weston
II can prove to any man, by the
citation of specific examples, where
the law has saved the state of Kansas
from three to six millions of dollars
each year since it has been in opera
ton. The charge has also been made
that the law has hindered and driven
from the state large number of le-
climate companies, and deprived
thousands of men of labor and driven
them from the state in consequence
thereof. This statement is rather
amusing to Kansas people, as nothing
could be farther from the truth, and
yet it is being circulated widely in
New York, California and elsewhere,
where campaign is being made for
the enactment of blue sky law.
These statements are of course being
started by the INSCRIPTIONS promo
ter The law has aided and assisted
all legitimate enterprises since its
enactment, and enabled a large num-
Der of them to successfully organize
and finance themselves where it
would not have been possible for
them to do so without the assistance
of legislation of this kind, and there
are more legitimate companies be-
ing organized under the Kansas laws
today than ever before in the history
of the state.'

business reasons only he should try

adorned by a beautiful home, not
necessarily a costly one, is worth a
great deal more than one with merely

should be neatly fenced to protect the

tify the place-Farmer's Review.

Savings Bank passed the two and
ol;e-half million dollar mark in
deposits.
On June 50th. 1907, six years
Ego. its deposits were only S844,
1854.
In other words, the Hyde Park
Savings Bank has practically null
Itiplied its deposits by three in the
short space of six years. This
means an average gain in deposits
,of over nine hundred dollars a day
for every business day in the err
tire six years.
1t means that the deposits ex-
coed the Withdrawals by an av-
erage of more than $1,000 per
year for the entire six years.
The deposits exceeded the with
,drawals for the year ending June
80, 1918. by S298,34S.36.
These figures are interesting
