BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Paris, July 25-A campaign against
anything German has begun in France
with which is combined q scheme for
raising money for charitable purposes.
Hundreds of thousands of colored
posters have made their appearance
on the boardings of Paris, in the sub
way, railway stations and other pub
lie places, representing classic fe-
male figure, laurel crowned, sword
in one hand, the other pointing to the
facade of Rheims cathedral, which is
depicted in flames. At the side of the
figure, representing France victorious,
are a beehive and a cogwheel of a
piece of machinery, symbolizing the
industry and the manufactures of the
French. At the top is the one word:
s'REMEMBERw At the bottom Is
printed the legend:
mo GERMANS!
NOTHING GERMANr'
The same design is reproduced in
stamp size for use on letters, though
of no value in paying postage.
Both posters and stamps are issued
by a charitable organization known as
"a Penny for the Workwoman's Rent
and under the auspices of the General
Association of Merchants and Manu-
facturers of Textiles and Textile Ma
terials. The stamps are sold at one
cent each, and the funds used to as
sist needy workwomen, and womeI
who are to become mothers. The
anti German campaign is really Incl
dental to the charity.

TON RATE PLAN.
rcontinued from, page on..y


operating expense on both passenger
and freight trains.
When the passenger rate case was
before the state commission. the Ok
lahoma formula was offered as a basis
for distribution of expense. It dealt
with expense items from several hun
dred angles and distributed expense in
as many places. The document was
technical, but railroad experts chung
to the instrument like mistletoe to
trees and declared it was practical,
safe and fair.
Shortly after the Kansas rate case,
several hearings and conferences be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission were announced. Many state
commissioners attended the meeting
and Bristow represented the Kansas
commission at the meeting.
Railroads Are For 1t.
''All of the railroads approved the
Oklahoma formula" said Bristow iE
discussing the action in Washington.
state commissioners. however, were
inclined to be more favorable to the
ton mile basis CT distributing expense
The ton mile system, the commission
head explained, meant the distribution
of expense on basis of number of
tons hauled a certain distance. This
system included the ton weight of en-
CINE and cars pulled, as well as the
load carried.
AN average weight of $50 pounds
would be calculated for each mas
senger hauled under the ton mile sys-
tenn BriStow explained. The system,
he said, would apply both to distribu-
ton of freight and passenger traffic,
except in case of freight the exact
tonnage would be considered.
Under the Oklahoma formula"
said the former senator, tine ton
weight of the engine was considered,
but not the number of cars or pas
sengers carried. 1t is unjust to con-
slider the engine ton of a freight train
carrying a hundred cars and the en-
CINE ton of a paSSenge engine carry
ing propably ten cars, when there is
little or no difference in the weight of
the two engines. The heavy freight
train would naturally occasion great
er trackage expense. The distribu-
ton of line expense is one of the big
items in the controversy. 1t covers
about IS per cent of the total expense
and there has been a wide difference
of opinion as to the distribution of
this expense"
The Ton Mile System
Bristow was asked if the ton mile
system as favored by the state COM
missioners in Washington might not
tend to provide argument for in
creased freight rates, while being used
to combat an advance in passenger
rates.
THAT is possibly true" said Bris-
tow. but most of the commissioners
who attended the Washington confer
ences seemed to approve the ton mile
basis rather than the Oklahoma for
mula furnished by the railroads.
The Kansas commissioner spent
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-06-04

nearly three weeks in Washington and
attended number of important hear
ingS and conferences. This informa-
ton, including the opinions and ind
ings of other state commissioners as
well as members of the interstate
commerce commission, will be used by
the state commission in consideration
of evidence affecting conditions in
Kansas.
In deciding the passenger rate case
in Kansas, application of the Okla
homa formula will play an important
part Adoption of the formula, it has
been claimed, would mean admission
that the two cent rate has not been
remunerative in this state. Application
of another system for distributing eX-
pense- might mean an entire change IN
the method of rate making IN this
state and open the case for the taking
of further testimony.
No conference has as yet been had
by Bristow with members of the COM
mission and evidence offered in the
rate case may not be considered until
transcripts are completed. But the
view of the state commission or its
members as affecting the Oklahoma
formula is regarded as a matter of i'm
portance to persons interested in the
passenger rate controversy.

They Are Building Elevators to
Hold Their Grain.
Will Put Millions of Dollars i'm
Their Pockets.
CAN HOLD FOR TOP PRICE
Will Take Advantage of the
Speculative Market.
The Middle Man Ultimately
viii Be Eliminated.

Each year the Kansas farmer be-
comes a bit wiser. Now he is build
ing private and cooperative elevators
all through the western Kansas wheat
belt and will hold his grain until the
price suits him. AS a result the farm
ers will gain profit of several mil
lion dollars on this years crop, ac-
cording to d. J. Fair, former member
of the legislature from Rice county,
who was in Topeka this week.
Fair is an apostle of the private ele
vator idea. In fact Fair is personally
conducting the campaign in Rice
county and he has a personal record
in the matter that makes the elevator
idea sound like a Standard Oil pre-
ferred investment. Last year Fair
and his brother handled their entire
crop in such a manner as to get top
prices for wheat and the former law
maker from Sterling could preach a
sermon about the virtue of a private
store house for grain.
1t happens, also, that Fair is not
farmer in the sense that he lives on
farm and plants his own seed ard har-
vests his own crop Fair is merchant
in Sterling. But last year he made
wheat record that has few rivals in
the state. Now the FARMERS of Rice
county are following Fairs example
and building private and cooperative
grain elevators and the optimistic
Sterling man believes the idea will
soon be state wide and that the farm
err will himself get every benefit from
the speculative grain markets.
Raised $1,000 Bushels of Wheat.
I'VE raised $1,000 bushels of wheat
last year, said Fair in telling of the
1914 work of himself and his brother.
But the grain last year was not so
good as the quality promised for this
year. Besides lots of farmers needed
their money and the small producer
sold for less than 30 cents a bushel
If it hadn't been for the war, wheat
top would have probably been some
where in the neighborhood of 6 Is cents.
1t cost us AZ cents a bushel to produce
our crop"
Then Fair stopped, smiled, took a
deep breath and sang the, praise of
the privately owned grain elevator.
I'VE were able to handle about So
600 bushels OF our own crop in our
elevators" said Fair. by holding the
crop. we got top prices. The low test
grain sold for 90 cents a bushel when
we let loose of it, But the other
brought $3.50 a bushel If it hadn't
been for our elevators, though, we
could not have handled the crop or
have been able to hold it until we
could get top prices.
1.-The Kansas farmer is thinking
about these things and look for hun
dreds of privately owned grain eleva-
tinued- He is going to dodge the mid
dleman and hold his grain until the
market is right for selling. With the
profits from the crop this year, the
wheat producer will be financially able
TO do lot of things of which he had
only dreamed in the past.
Fair was a member of the lower
branch of the state legislature from
Rice county in 1911. He quit active
politics TO raise wheat.

Mr.. Walker responded that he did not

''Why did you take that collateral
away from the receiver if it was not to

up the stock from to SO in ten days
and then to let it drop to 81 in sin

Mr.. Walker denied that it was the

Did you ever hear of any more out
rageous deed than this?" demanded
Mr.. Untermyer.
You have overlooked the fact that

April 2, and we thought it but fair to
allow them a voice in meeting the sit

But you sold your own stock for

Untermeyer.
Mr.. Walker testified that he did.

responsible for his position with the

described his work. AS to who was
responsible for his filing the petition

talked with Directors Moore, Hine and

position of other directors. -

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

welcome rains in Oklahoma brought about
an upturn in the price of wheat despite a
decline at the start. The early weakness

appointing. Offerings here seemed to pass
readily into strong hands. After opening

Afterward prices fell lower than before
influenced by increased offerings of new
wheat from Illinois and Indiana and by
forecasts of big yield in Oklahoma re-
CARELESS of reports that conditions there
were bullish. The close was weak at 2a4 c
to &c net decline.
CORN-COrn advanced with wheat and
result of unfavorable weather trade
was light. The opening, which varied from
Nc off to 1sc ups was followed by mod
crate gains all around.
The market later sagged on account of
a fresh break in wheat and because of
a predicted increase of the movement from
the country. The close was unsettled at
&c to AMHc net decline.
OATS-RObust demand from shippers
shippers gave independent strength to
oats. The larger concerns were conspic-
uous on the buying side.
