BRING PURCHASER TO CAPITAL

Auditing departments of all state
stitutions-education penal and
charita ble-may be consolidated in
Topeka and made a part of the state
auditors office. The move means an
increase in the working force in the
auditors office and the handling of
the accounts and purchases of all
state departments and institutions in
Topeka.
Under the plan now in operation. a
purchasing agent for the state edu-
cational institutions is located at the
state agricultural college, Manhattan.
Through the office of the purchasing
agent comes all of the claims against
the big state schools. OF course the
matter finally reaches Topeka
through the usual channels and
through the treasurer's and auditors
offices.
Present System Wrong.
The present sytem, however, has
resulted in many Inconvenience and
delays in the handling of accounts,
since records often needed in Topeka
are in the hands of the purchasing
agent at Manhattan. Another source
of trouble is the fact that accounts
from the state schools are delayed
from two to five days in transmittal
through the purchasing agent. By
moving the purchasing agents office
to the state house and consolidating
with the state auditors office, it is
believed that more efficient and eco
nomical service would be secured for
the state.
May Handle 1t All Here.
The situation confronted by the
state schools IS also met by the prison
board and board of control in charge
of the state charities. If the plan to
reorganiZe the work of auditing school
accounts should prove successful, the
work for all of the state departments
and institutions will be handled direct
ly from Topeka. This change will re-
suit in keeping detailed records from
the institutions in the state house at
all times.
Frank Organ, assistant state audi
tor, and d. W. Bowen, secretary to
the state administration board, will
make a trip to Manhattan this week,
where they will consider the plan of
removing the purchasing to Topeka. 1t
is believed that a change in the sys-
tenn of handling state accounts will be
made before August l.

ly.''
Further Discussion on Lusitania.
On the other hand, the American
demands for disavowal of any inten-
ton to sink the LuSitania and the re-
quest for PREPARATION are renewed il
the new note, and those, with other
points, such as the Willingness of the
United States to act as interme diary
between the belligerents to adjust
rules of maritime warfare, probably
will be the basis for further discussion
by Germany.
An answer is not expected for at
least two to three weeks on those
phases. 1t is generally agreed among
officials here, however, that any loss
of American lives in the meantime
would in itself raise the question of
action, irrespective of any formal re-
ply from Germany.
The American note is in the nature
of a final statement on the principles
involved, in which the United States
ia keS the unalterable position that the
accepted rules of international law
must govern the rights of neutrals,
irrespective of retaliatory measures of
the belligerents against one another.

congress.
President Wilson has given careful
consideration 10 eVentualities to which
the new American note may commit

There is now no indication that the

ture, but the president has determined

A. Hermany Again on Stand in

Oklahoma City, July 22.-Continu
alton of the Oklahoma railroad rate
case today in Judge Youman's court
found A Hermany, disbursements
auditor of the Rock Island, still on
the stand. MIR. Hcrmany was called
for redirect examination after attor-
neys for the state had. during severe
cross -eXa mination, subjected him to
sharp fire of questions in an attempt
to show flaws in the railroads engine
ton-mile me thod of calculating Oper-
ating EXPENSES and revenue.
Weight and speed of locomotives as
factors il determining the apportion-
ment of values for freight and paSsen-
ger traffic over the line of the Rock
Island in Oklahoma, was a point at is
sue brought out late yesterday in the
cross-eXaminatiop of Mr.. Hermany in
the rate hearing in federal court here
in which the railroads are attempting
to nu1lify the Oklahoma 2-cent pas
senger rate law.
II know of no proof that rhe engine
ton mile basis is a correct, or. for that
matter, an incorrect basis, but 1 be-
lieve it a reasonable basis and one
that will give substantially correct re-
suits" Mr.. Hermany said, responding
to questions.
The weight of the train and the
speed of the train are what wear the
track and what determine so far as
that goes the required solidity of the
roadbed and strength of the ties, rails
fastenings and bridges.
He stated that in his private opin-
ion, the revenue ton mile would be
a better basis for estimating values
in some instances than the engine ton
mile.
The witness was asked if an error in
the basis of estimating might not have
a bearing on millions of dollars in
valuation. He replied that he hardly
thought it would affect the valuation
to that extent, but that a miscalcula-
ton would doubtless affect all subse-
quent calculations
