BIG THING IN KANSAS


The problem that Kansas In facing
right now IL the rural problem" de-
clared Rev. Walter Burr Of the ex-
tension bureau of the State Agricul-
tural college, in his talk this morning
before the students CT Washburn coll
lege. Right now In Kansas there are
1.200 communities Of less than 500 in
habitants. and nearly every one of
these decadent villages .-as originally
laid out for county seat or for the
state capital.
I'VE talk about our city problem
when in reality it is only another
phase of the rural problem, for nearly
all our city problems come from mall
adjustment of country people to city
conditions. The immigration prob
lem. If we take a world view of it, is
only another phase of our rural prob
lem.
I'VE need leaders in this movement
and it is to the schools and colleges
Of the state that we must look for
leaders. for support OF all kinds"

than a. million dollars worth Of property.
of a corporation which made its invest
ment ON its faith in our city and which
is entitled to that reasonable considera-
ton due any investor Of capital in this
City.
THE plan was furthermore un-
W rkable for the reason that sufficient
capital was not. provided for and in
sufficient rates for service were pro-
posed. However. unlike a private
corporation in the telephone business
the city could not be under the juris-
diction of commission directors as we
now know them. and could not pro-
vide. for obsolescence, depreciation or
deficit, either by increase of rates or
additional tax levy.
The problem of municipal owner
ship can be worked out but it must be
on a vastly different plan than was
proposed. In our case the only things
sought for would be better service at
lower rates, and while at times SER
vice might be better, it is entirely out
of the question to operate an adequate
telephone system in this city for a
lower gross income than the present
exchange is receiving"

VAN DEUSEN ESCAPES
PENITENTIARY BECAUSE
HE WAS INSANE

Clarence Van Deusen, Progressive
nominee for state auditor, has &C
quired no little notority during the
past 80 days by delving into the state
records and publishing broadcast his
Interpretation of conditions. The re-
cord cannot be question although if
may be satisfactorily explained. In
order to increase the fame of Mr.. Van
Deusen and incidentally to make
known to the readers of The Tribune
the peculiar qualities and marked
characteristics of this man Van
Deusen, we have ourselves delved in
to the records. to a small extent The
record of Van Deusen since he arriv-
ed in Idaho is anything but enviable
We are of the opinion that if we had
his record behind us we would hest
tate to question the honesty of anv
man no matter how questionable his
actions might appear.
In considering charges made
against public men three things must
always be taken into consideration,
viz: the circumstances, the nature of
the charges and the character of the
man making them. To throw addition
al light upon the issues involved
we here publish the court records that
the. character of Van Deusen may be
understood.
A Little Explanation.
The Van Deusen case requires a
little explanation. AS near as we can
gather the facts Van Deusen was
charged with a criminal offence as
will appear later. In order to avoid
punishment for his crimes the in
sanity plea was entered. This is as
charitable view as can be taken.
