No Answer Vet From Judge
Hines. Read This Plain Stale
ment of Facts, and Tell Your
NeighbOrS TO Read Ii. The
People OF Georgia Have Been
Betrayed and Robbed! Read
the Record.
On August 1, 1911, Judge Hines wrote me-
- stating that he and Solomon Smith and
L. S. Fielder were going to go afteS the rail
roads Immediately, and compel those
unnatural persons to obey the law, reduce
freights, and thus save to the people millions
OF dollars, which said corporations were
extorting from shippers IN viozation of The
orders Of the Railroad Conmeission.
After writing to me, on Auga8t /, 1911,
that Solomon Smith had hardly warmed the
gubernatorial seat before he, the said Solo
mon Smith, ordered him, the said Hines to
proceed forthwith to enforce the said reduc-
tons in freight rates, 1t aons not u1o5iz oct.
Z, 1911, that said Hines made any move in
said cases at all!
On that day, Judge Hines appeared before
Judge Newman, and asked that a dog be fred
to hear said cdse8-S AID CASES
ALREADY BEING MORE THAN TWO
YEARS. OLD.
Judge Newman set the hearing Of said
cases for Nov. 16, 1911; and on that day they
were not heard because Judge Hines again
appeared before the court and asked a con-
tnuance.
This is the energetic, faithful servant of
the people who wrote me on Aug. l. 1911, that
Hewlette Hall was the States lawyer who had
neglected to press these cases
In compliance with the request of Judge
Hines, the cases were continued by Judge
Newman to January 4, 1912.
When that day came, Judge Newman
called the cases, and Judge Hines was not
there
Why aoas1ot he IN court?
But far more significant than the absence
OF Judge Hines, aoaS the absence of the rail-
road z0Uyers.
THEY WE'RE NOT THERE
They were representing the defendant cor
porations, accused of robbing the merchants,
and farmers of Georgia.
They had their standing with their exact
ing clients at stake, and those clients had
millions of dollars at stake
Yet, the railroad EaaOyers qOere not IN court!
Why not?
WAS THERE AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN TIE In WYERS ON BOTH
SIDES?
In the name of the people who have been
Systematically robbed in violation of the
express law as laid down by the Railroad
Commission and Of the U. S. Supreme Court,
have asked Judge Hines to explain his sus-
picious conduct. He cannot do it.
The docket Of Judge Neqomon ShovS that
he struck the cases off, because neither side
qc0S there IN court
That was exactly what the railroads
wanted: and it was worth millions of dollars
to them to get it.

Long Time Loans.

If young men or tenants are to be
encouraged to buy farms, they must
have ten Or fourteen years time and
they must have loans to the extent of
two thirds OF a farm value. Nothing
else will be worth while. Why should
not the Building and Loan Associations
Of Kansas get into this business and
enlarge their capital and make farm
loans for ten, twelve or fourteen years
and for at least seventy per cent of the
value Of the farm. Why should not
Kansas use its school fund on farm
loans for the next half century? It
has been US d to help the cities ever
since we had a school fund. State

Fire Prevention Day Proclamation.
STATE OF KANSAS, Elective Depart
ment.
PROCLAMATION

PROCLAMATION.
One of the principal causes Of econo
mic waste in the United States has
been the destruction of property by fire
The annual fire loss il this country has
averaged about two hundred twenty
five million dollars; in Ksnsas the an
nual loss has been about FIVE million
dollars. The number of fires reported
in the state since the establishment of
state fire marshal department, April
l, 1913, to January 1, 1914, is 2345, and
the loss resulting therafron is So, 1913,
$50.
&c may be claimed that this loss was
covered by insurance. But when it is
remembered that the insurance com
panies must be reimbursed by the pol
icyholders, it is seen that finally the
p eople pay for this loss and waste. An
efficient coop grafton between the PEG
pie, their fire eff :ials and the insurance
companies would not Only greatly re-
duce the burden of fire loss itseIf-to
say nothing of the lives that might be
saved thareby-but woul also cause a
substantial reduction in the insurance
rates throughout the state.
To this end, therefore, I, George 81
Hodges, Governor OF kansas, do here
by designate Ffi}ay, the Itch. day of
April, 1914, as Fire Prevention Day,
and most heartily recommend to those
in charge of public and private build
ings, as to all the people of the state,
whether or not they be ownerJ Of per-
ishable property, that on that day they
shall make a special effort to prevent
future fires by careful Inspection Of
the property and premises they occupy
as caretakers, owners or ten ants, and
by removing all useless and combustible
materials therefrom; that the civil
officers OF the state and the various
municipalities call public attention to
the benefit and necessity Of a more
methodical watchfulness in the matter
of fire prevention; and that all the
school authorities of the state, both
public and private, shall on that day
conduct such exercises as will impress
the Importance of fire prevention on
both teachers and pupils, and shall
continue at stated times to conduct
proper fire drills as heretofore. And
urge ali other civic organizations to
lend their hearty moral support to this
important form OF conservation of our
resources.
In witness whereof, 1 have hereuato
set my hand and caused to be affixed
the Great Seal OF the State, at the
Capitol, in the city of Topeka, this 25th.
