wife Of w. Bert Brown Of Kansas
City, Kan, who was released from the

PASS EVIL NOT DEAD.
The L. G. c. Has Undertaken an Ex-
tensive Investigation.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 22.-Impro-
per and illegal use of railroad passes
is being investigated by the interstate
commerce commission. The inquiry
has proceeded far enough to show, in
the language of the commission that
carriers have very generally obeyed the
letter of the law but it is Indicated
by information that has reached the
commission that the issuance of
passes for state travel has operated to
defeat the purpose of the act to reg
ulate commerce; that passes for state
travel have been issued to certain ship
pers and denied to others; and that
the moving consideration of such
passes has been routing of shipments of
property
The first hearing on the subject will
be held by Commissioner Harlan at
Denver, Col, tomorrow. 1t is intend
ed to hold hearings in all parts of the
country, but the commission says Col
orado is selected for the first hearing
because it appears to have been a field

WHAT WILL RATES Be?
HI. o. Garvey Sees No Opposition to
State Insurance.

Editor State Journal: In your is
sue of yesterday the article relative TO
bill of Senator Davis for the handlng
of life insurance through the medium
of what is generally known as state
insurance, gives very strongly the i'm
preston taht this measure will be uni
formly opposed by those at present in
the business of selling life insurance
In this 1 feel sure you are mistaken
and while 1 am not speaking for the
organization of which have the hon
or to be president. the Kansas Asso-
citation of Life Underwriters, yet be-
lieve am vocing the opinion of by far
the majority of representatives of the
highest grade companies, when l say
that have no apprehension whatever
of such a law as that proposed by
Senator Davis working any financial
disadvantage to the business of well
established, high grade companies,
nor do / believe that the contem-
plated state company will be able to
furnish life insurance of a like grade
to that now sold by the three per
cent full legal reserve companies at
as low net cost to the insured as such
companies are now selling it.
The insuring of human lives is a
matter of business and 1t costs money,
the old established companies have
gotten the business down to its mini
mum cost consistent with the best in
terests of the insured and unless the
state should adopt a method under
which the entire population pays the
expenses of business, the benefits of
which accrue only to the small pro-
portion buying the insurance, 1 do
not believe that Kansas can undersell
in matter of net cost the companies
L have referred to. On the other
hand, assuming that the cost will be
assessed to those benefiting by the
measure, those buying state insurance,
the element of expense will most like
ly exceed the like element of well
established companies.
AS member of the life insurance
profession my only concern in this
matter is that the state shall not
adopt standard lower than that
which the wisdom of the men who
have spent many years in a careful
study of the science of life insurance
have decided is the best, namely, a
full three per cent legal reserve basis,
an expense loading sufficiently large to
warrant the employment of competent
help and a policy contract which
shall be entirely equitable in all re-
spects and under all circumstances
I have read carefully the Davis
bil!' and in most respects it is very
satisfactory. Yours respectfully,
H. o. CARNEY

Spectators on the long side operated

the week spots had been eliminated by

FARMERS LIKE NEELEY PLAN.
Hope Congressman VIII Land Blow on
Broom Trust.

Liberal, Kan, Jan. 22-The announce
ment by Congressman Geo. Medley of his
unique plan to combat the broom corn
trust in the big southwest Kansas market
has aroused greater enthusiasm in this
section than any move in recent years
relative to agricultural industry
Medley proposes to place the Hutchinson
Kan, state reformatory in the same rela-
ton to the broom corn trust the peniten
tfary holds to the binder Irvine trust. He
would turn the reformatory into big
broom factory SO as to afford a market
for Kansas grown corn.
No one who has visited the big broom
corn section of southwestern Kansas can
be ignorant of the way the trust does
business said Mr.. Neeley. 1T bids up
the price till the market is flooded with
brush and then lets the price fall. No
matter how many buyers there may be
but one price can be obtained for the
product. There is an appearance of COM
petition without competition in the slight
est degree. The grower suffers greatly
from this plan of operation and the con-
sumner receives no benefit"

He told the parole officers that he didn' t
