KILL EN- ONE BY One
Senate Wipes Seven Constitutional
Amendments Off Slate.

One after another the Kansas sem
ate has wiped off the slate seven reso-
lutions proposing amendme ntS to the
Kansas constitution, finally passing
one and putting another in cold stor-
age. The one passed, the initiative
and referendum, was handed over to
the house of representatives to serve
as a counter-irritant for certain other
aggravations with which the lower
house is being annoyed The house
and the Republican party will have
the opportunity of going on record as
either for or against the 1. and r. The
senate has done its duty-with a grin.
Then the senate sent Senator Joe
Howe's resolution in reference to
four-year and incorporating terms for
state officers to the judiciary commit
tee with instructions to put 1t into the
queens English and make any other
repairs that it seemed to need.
After administering to these the
upper house successfully killed the
Bowman resolution on the I. and r.,
the Waggener resolution to submit an
amendment relative to taxation, the
Kinds resolution for the increase of
legislative salaries, the Howe resolu-
ton relative to township and county
elections, the Howe resolution relating
to the one-house legislature, the Davis

judicial districts and, finally, the Car

merit tax for the benefit of the state

A GROUP OF men
"COntrOI 81 Per Cent of Ameri-
can Railroads.&c.
Statistics Introduced
in Chicago Wage Hearing.

Chicago. March 3-The alleged
concentration of control of the rail-
roads of the United States into a few
hands. as indicated by testimony gath
cred by the Pujo and other congress
S1onal committees was placed in evil
dence here today before the board of
arbitration in the western railroad
wage arbitration.
w. ]. Lauck, who compiled the evil
dence analysed his figures, quoting
J. P. Morgan and other financiers who
testified before the Pujo committee.
In the period 19O5-1912, Mr.. Lauck
stated. j. P. Morgan and company, the
First National bank of New York; the
National City bank of New York:
Kuhn, Loeb and company, the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank of Chicago,
and the First National bank of Chi
cago, made joint purchases and I'M
derwrote securities aggregating $780,
O78,437, all in bonds except an issue
of stock by the Chicago Great West
ern.
THE total number of EMPLOYEES of
railroads in the United States on June
80, 1913, as reported to the interstate
commerce commission, was 81 5, 239,'
said Mr.. Lauck. "Of these 1,653,566
were employed on railroads control
led, through voting trusts and inter-
locking directorates by the inner cir
Gle of financiers. Therefore 81 per
cent of the railroad employees of the
country were controlled by this inner
circle. The total number of directors
of inner group banks and corporations
who were also directors of railroads
was two hundred and eleven. Forty
one of these men were officials of the
roads, either practical railroad men or
railroad attorneys. In considering
the real control of the roads they had
been eliminated as they did not owe
their positions to financial power.
This leaves ITO men who dominate the
railroads controlled by the inner cir
cles. The capitalization of these roads
was more than eleven billions of dol
lars.
"A study of the situation, shows that
the concentration is much greater
than these figures show. 1t is a fact
that railroads capitalized at more
than ten billions, employing, 1872, 900
men are controlled by four great fin
ancial groups"
Mr.. Lauck declared that operating
officials of the railroads had been
powerless against the financiers in
controlling the revenues from oper-
alton, and that the really great earn
ings of the properties had been alb
sorbed and concealed by stock man
mutation.
