Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. April 27.-Judge J. H.
Henderson. commerce counsel OF Iowa.
has just completed an argument to go
to the interstate commerce commits
sion, in the third case he has brought
there to secure proper adjustment OF
rates on corn products, glucose. starch,
ETC., and this argument presents q
striking illustration Of what incon-
sistencies appear at times in the
jugglery of rate making.
It also shows the very close relation
between the railroads and at least
some Of the trusts.
And 1t also shows that the carriers
do not always heed their own pleas
for more revenue, or act as II they
were in desperate straits for funds.
The present case is protest against
a proposed increase in corn products
rates between Chicago and New York.
The protest Is on behalf of the inde-
pendent glucose and starch companies
in Iowa, at Cedar Rapids, Clinton and
Keokuk. The increase proposed would
further add to an advantage enjoyed
by the glucose trust because its chief
factory especially for export. is at
Edgewater, N. J.
In previous suit the Independents
secured an order lowering rates to the
east. The carriers resisted and said
the reduction would greatly deplete
their revenues. Now they are asking
raise and say they need more revenue.
In addition they are asking the hori-
zontal 5 per cent raise to get more
revenue.
But following the previous suit, and
in the face of complaint about loss
of revenue by reduction of the glucose
rates from the west. the carriers vol
unfairly made reduction in the corn
rates for the benefit Of the trust fac
tory at Edgewater, SO that whereas
there had been a discrimination of IL
cents it was increased to 4 cents.
While complaining Of loss of revenue
from the independent companies the
carriers voluntarily reduced rates to
the trust and now desire to again
raise rates for the independents with
out raising, them for the trust.
The independent concerns in Iowa
are therefore prepared to make a
pretty strong showing of the unrea-
condolences of the proposed raise in
rates. and Judge Henderson has pre-
pared an argument that will effectual-
" estop the carriers from making the

The trust had an advantage on the
business done in 1918 for export of
$4,000 over the independents.

The state removal law is still work.
ing. On Saturday Assistant Attorney
General Sampson received Information
of the resignation of a member Of the
board of supervisors in Jackson coun-
ty. Preparations We're under way for
proceedings for removal. He was one
of the board which resigned over q
year ago rather than face removal
charges, and later was elected for a
term to commence the first of this
year, more than d year after the cleo
ton. It was thought that in this way
removal proceedings could be avoided.
But the old accusations remained and
now the supervisor has again quit the
Job.

Old Timer Dead

James Kennedy, one of the old
timers here, was found dead in
his home, across the street ives,
from the high school building,
early Tuesday morning by ID. f.
Gearhart. Mr.. Kennedy lived
alone in the house, but took his
meals at the home of Mr.. Gear
hart, his son-in-law. When he
did not GO to breakfast at the us
ual hour, Mr.. Gearhart stopped
at his house while on his way
down town to work, and going in
found Mr.. Kennedy in dead or
dying condition. After further
investigation 1t was found that
the entire Charge of an old army
musket which lay near, had
struck him 10 the mouth.
The officials at Ashland were
notified of the situation, but on
account of the absence of the cor
oner, the sheriff and county at
torney came down and after look
ing the condition oyer carefully,
stated that an inquest was un-
necessary, as all the details
clearly showed suicide.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day afternoon at ? O'Clock by Rev.
Franklip, of Ashland, after which
the remains we're laid to rest in
the cemetery north of town.
Mr.. Kennedy first came to this
part of Kansas about thirty years
ago. He was member of the
l. o. O. f. and K. of p. orders.
He had been very useful and
highly esteemed citizen all the
years of his residence here, and
his act came as great surprise
to all who had known him.

More OF Neeley's Ingratitude

A political writer in the Tope-
ka State Journal has this story
which relates tragedy that at
times occurs in life: ITO the
mind of the average political OBJ
server, there is a bit of political
tragedy this week in Congress-
man George A Neeley's vote on
the Panama tolls exemption bill
in congress; for if one mem Der
of the Kansas delegation in Wash
ington owed allegiance to Clark
or should have Loyalty stood by
the speaker in his Panama tolls
fight, that man was Congressman
Neeley, yet Congressman Tag
gart of the Second district was
the only Democratic member of
the Kansas delegation who voted
with the Clark following.
Kansas politicians recall quite
vividly the long trip that Champ
Clark made to Dodge City to
speak at the Dodge City conven-
tion that found Neeley and
placed him on the political map
in the state and nation Not on
ly did Clark come to Kansas
through blizzard to help Neeley
but he subsequ quently made sep
arate trips to the Seventh district
TO aid Neeley in his campaigns.
The men who recall Clark's
friendship to Neeley, have also
recalled published and unde-
MED statement in which the
Hutchinson man made plain that
he was too big and brave to bow
to the national administration
whip, yet Neeley, in the first
real split in the national cou-
gress voted with the powers that
might aid him in the distribu-
tion of patronage in bis United
States Senatorial fight, and
Champ Clark was left to fight
his battle alone"

TICKET SURE
Members OF That Party Met
Last Thursday And So
Decided

Judging from present indica-
tions, politics this fall will be
somewhat interesting, in fact.
that is about all you can hear
now, with the election more than
six months away.
From time to time it has been
hinted that the Progressive par
ty in Meade county would have
a full ticket in the field, but not
until last Thursday was the re-
port confirmed.
On that date something less
than twenty of the enthusiasts
Of that political faith, met in the
Sourbeer hall in response to a
call issued by County Chairman
o. r. Stevens. The purpose of
the meeting was for the discuss
ion of the political situation of
that party. The question as to
whether or not the Progressives
unite with the Republican party
was discussed and voted down
about dozen of the more. en-
thusiastic mem bers of the new
party declaring in favor of stand
ing by the platform as promul
gated by the Chicago convention
and to support Progressive
ticket from Road Overseer t.
Governor.
Q. r. Stevens resigned a.
chairman, and H. 9. Marshal
was elected to fill the vacancy.

SCHOOL
MEETING

200 p. m.

Ii WIN y Va III
News, we published the notice
of the annual school meeting, to
be held at the school building on
Friday, April 10th at 200 p. m.
| This is meeting of general
interest, and every tax payer in
the district should be present.
Remember you are just as re-
sponsible for the outcome of the
meeting if you remain at home as
though you attended. If things
in our school are not managed in
such way as to meet with your
approval, go to the meeting and
make the fact known. If you
are satisfied, go to the meeting
and support the present school
administration. Above all, Mr..
and Mrs. Taxpayer, don't stay
at home and permit the meeting
to be governed by people who
pay little or no tax, and then at
ter the meeting is over, complain
because this, that, Or the other
was not disposed of just to your
liking. tits your money that is
being spent to maintain this
school and it is also your priv
ilege to know what the school is
costing and how the money is
being spent.
| Among the matters of bushes
to- come before the meeting, is
the election of a treasurer. M.
&c. Read is the present incum-
bent, but due to the fact that he
is candidate for county Office,
will perhaps not be candidate
for reelection.
| Another question to come be-
fore the meeting is whether or
not the proposition made to the
Meade High school by the direc-
tors of The Palmer Public Lii
brary be accepted.
Perhaps little Information
regarding this library may be of
interest to our people. 1t
was donated to the city of Meade
in the early days by VIM. K.
Palmer. 1t is now located in the
Register of Deeds Office, and is
valued at $500.00. The direct
ors have offered to let it/be NOV
ed to the school building, upon
condition that not less than
twenty-five dollars worth of
books be added, each year. To
purchase this amount, the levy
would be increased one five
thousandth part of one mill,
which amount could not be seen
without the assistance of mi
croscope. This library would
be an excellent addition, and we
believe that the tax payers would
do well to accept the PROPOSE
ton as offered.

Special Correspondence

Administration, we are more and
more convinced that it is the on
ly way to manage these big state
schools. II puts them on strict
ly business basis. When Gov
ernor Hodges became chief eX-
ecutive, he urged all boards to
discontinue the old order of
things, and put all charitable,
penal, and educational institu-
tions on a business basis. The
Board of Administration, in
keeping with his suggestion, did
this, and by doing, saved the
taxpayers of the state several
thousands of dollars. Especially
has this been true in handling
the business departments of
these schools. In the fiscal year
1912 and 1913, the purchasing
department at the State Univer-
sity at Lawrence, had ten (l0)
employees drawing salaries ag-
gregating $4,000. Under the
new Board, they have SIX (6)
employees drawing salaries ag-
gregating $500. At the EN-
poria Normal, they had ten (l0)
employees drawing salaries ag.
gregating Sl0,968. Under the
new Board, they have seven (7)
employees drawing salaries ag.
gregating $6,lS0, which shows
that under the old system they
had thirty 800 employees in
the business departments OF
these institutions at cost OF
$29,768 per year; while under the
new Board, they have only TWEEN
ty three (23) employees at a
cost of $16, $50, thus saving the
taxpayers in the business de-
partment alone. S13,23s. AT the
same time, they have handled
much more money and had tc
take care of about one thousand
more students. The total saw
ing of the business departments
of these three big schools totals
the salaries of the three mem.
bers of the State Board of Ad.
ministration and the secretary,
to say nothing of the big saving
they made in the other depart
ments and in the purchase of
their supplies and material.
This does not include the 50, $50
formerly appropriated tor the
board of regents.
The esteemed Topeka Capital
and the Mail and Breeze, both
owned by Arthur Capper, and
Auditor Davis, seem to have
their wires crossed. This is a
very usual occurrence these days
when they begin searching for
an issue which will attract at
least passing attention in the
coming campaign. The Capital
and Mail and breeze have been
using considerable space atempt-
ing to d1scredit the State Boz rd
of Administration. 1t is appar-
sent that the editor of these two
publications really believed this
to be strong issue. But it,
like all other of their issues, soon
passed ont of sight and was for
gotten. Especially was this true
when 1t became known that Aud
itor Davis had heartily recon-
menked a single board to- the
legislature of 1913. On page 4
of his report, after discussing
the evils of the old regent sys-
tenn, he says; First. a single
board of three should be created
for the management of these in
stitutions. This board should
be so constituted that it would
in reality be governing board.
Under the present plan, the
boards of regents give only
few DAYS out of the year to their
duties. Necessarily, they must
tely on the heads of the instltu-
tions, who in reality determine
ali questions affecting the man.
