PRODUCE MEN AROUSED
Importation OF Butter and Egg
Brings Down Prices.

Kansas City, April 9.-Alarmed over
the importation Of New Zealand butter
and Chinese eggs, twenty creamery
men of Kansas City and vicinity met
here today to ask one another what
to do.
J. F. Haskell of Topeka is a leader
among those who want a remedy.
Butter is selling around 25 cents
now," he said, where a year ago it
was bringing IS cents. We believe the
reason is the importation of butter to
the Pacific coast. A great deal Of but
ter has been received from New Zea-
land and Australia.

our winter is their summer and they
can produce cheap butter on good
pastures when we have to feed expen-
sive grains"

A Fight Started ON Helvcring
In the Fifth.

Arthur Capper's long promised per-
sonal platform for 1914 has astonished
many politicians. legislative members
and state officials who recall that at
least eight Of the planks in the care
fully drafted platform have either
been enacted into law or are being
observed during the present state ad-
ministration. The Capper platform
containing 23 separate and distinct
planiks and advocating both state and
nation wide reforms. was read Friday
night at the meeting of the Good Cfti-
zenship league in Emporia.
The Capper platform was written
and read after the Republican state
committee had met in Topeka and
form Of resolutions setting forth the
things which the party in Kansas rep
resented In the judgment Of the COM
mittee members. But that there
should be no question as to the pro-
gressfve stand which the Topeka man
would take in his campaign, he went
beyond the provisions OF the state
committee and borrowed reforms from
the Republican. Progressive and Dem
ocratic platforms and embodied them
in his personal declaration OF prin-
ciples whether the state committee
saw fit to endorse them or not.
But that isn't the point. 1t IL the
fact that many of the things for which
Capper preached the loudest and long
est in his appeal to the Kansas women
are already in the statute books and
are being observed and enforced and
honored and respected in the same
