We Believe Benson Has Found
the Way TO Prevent War.

Wonder if Allan L. Benson'S remedy
would have kept Italy out of the war?
Mr.. Benson used to DO lot of think
ing while he was connected with the
Times, and now that he has become one
of the leaders of the Socialist party in
America, he is still thinking idealiStic
thoughts.
They may not be practical at the mo-
ment; but they indicate a clearnesS OF
vision that calls for admiration, and an
idealism that demands sympathy.
This is MIR. Benson's remedy for war:
Let war of aggression be declared
only by vote of the people-women as
well as men, over Is years of age.
Make each voter sign his ballot
Number each ballot as il is cast.
If majority of the people declare for
war, the army is to be composed of those
who voted for war.
If they are unable TO form large
enough army, the president may then
call on those who did not vote at all
If there are still too few men TO de-
feat the enemy, the president may call
on those who voted against war, begin
ming with those whose ballots bear the
highest numbers, showing that they
voted latest in the day.
In other words, Mr.. Benson's scheme
- ~ N, oko those who arc recpOpSihla for
war do the fighting.

Is this an insane idea?

Is tIllS ali illSdHS lOcds
Isn't it, rather, too much like perfect
/ Justice ever to be allowed TO work out
in this imperfect world?
Mr.. Benson is very sure that the aver
age citizen, the common man who does
the labor of the country, doesn't want
to be pulled away from his farm or his
lathe or his typewriter TO shoot his
neighbor from over the next boundary
line
And even if passion rises in this man
until he is willing to risk his own life in
battle, Mr.. Benson believes that the
mans wife may have something worth
saying about what he shall do.
Further to guard against hasty VOL
ence, Mr.. Benson would insist that Co
days elapse before the proposal Of war
and the election which shall decide on
the declaration.
Even weather can get cool in 60 days
Mr.. Benson has still other points in
his plan.
If the votes of women shall have turn
ed the balance in favor Of war, these
women who voted for war shall be liable
for service, but on no account shall a
woman who voted against war be en-
listed.
Any writer or speaker who advocates
\ war with particular nation shall be i'm
prisoned, unless he files notice Of such
advocacy with the president; and even
then, if war with that nation breaks out
within five years, he shall be sent 10 the
front as a common soldier.
All diplomatic papers shall be pub
lished at the end of every day, for Mr.
Benson believes that if the people are
aware of what their diplomatic agents
are doing, they will discountenance many
of the acts of these diplomats. looking
toward break with foreign nations.
IL Italy had been possessed Of such a
y scheme as that Of Mr. Benson, would she
have declared war?
Perhaps she would; for the Irreden-
lists are strong. strong enough to silence
the peace party and intimidate its men,

persecuted by Austria; her national

10! THE POOR SHERIFF
Auditor Davis Will Test Right to Col
Iect Railroad Fare.

Right of Kansas sheriffs to charge
railroad fare for conveying prisoners
to the state penitentiary is to be test
ed by w. E. Davis, state auditor. Fol-
lowing a conference today with John
Hunt, assistant attorney general,
Davis said he would ask for a formal
opinion from the attorney generals
office
For years Kansas shtriffs have COL
lected actual mileage, railroad rates,
for conveying prisoners to the state
penitentiary at Lansing, These fees
have been paid by the state without
protest. Under the new fee and sal
airy law, however, Davis doubts
whether the fee should be- paid unless
the sheriff actually buys a ticket to
Lansing.
Probably every sheriff in Kansas
rides on pass. But this fact has not
prevented his collection of his fare
from the state when a convict was
taken to prison. The law says that
the sheriff shall be paid his actual
and necessary expenses" Now, the
auditor plans 20 require that receipts
for railroad tickets be attached to all
claims from sheriffs.
An old opinion on this point, issued
either by Attorney General Coleman
question. At that time it was held
that the sheriffs had n right to ride
on a pass and charge their fare. The
wording of the new fee and salary
law did not change it, as affecting
the conveying of prisoners. That the
question may be fully settled, Auditor
Davis will ask the attorney generals
office for a formal written opinion on
which to base his payment of claims

IContinued from Page One.1
in the opinion of some bankers, who
point out that Great Britain's internal
loans have borne 4 II and per cent
subject to the British income tax. The
magnitude of this burden. they state
can he realized by the fact that the
largest incomes of Great Britain are
taxed as high as 81 per cent, while
from IL to 5 per cent is by no means
uncommon.
Bearing in mind the prime necessity
that the securities to be offered here
for the billiOn-dOllar loan must be alb
solutely free from all British income
tax requirements these bankers point
out that the terms Great Britain and
France propose to offer American in
vestorS are infinitely better than the
terms offered by these governments to
investors at home. They doubt
whether the commission would risk
the displeasure of home investors by
making terms even more favorable
such as offering more than five per
cent interest-to investors abroad.
Not for Munitions.
A possibility that obtained wide
spread discussion today was that pay
ment for munitions of war would be
excluded from the operation of the
proposed credit loan. This report was
that the big credit loan would be used
to pay only for foodstuffs and other
of war munitions would be made. in
gold.
Members of the commission seemed
well satisfied with the progress thus
far made. Millions in pledges. it was
reported already ha6 been secured and
more pledges were tentatively assured.
Negotiations, it was said had reached
the stage where an authoritative state
ment from the commission would be
issued soon.
1t developed today that not only
had the so-called pro-German group
of New York financIers failed to re-
ceive invitations to participate in the
negotiations although the hint had
been dropped that they would well
come it, but members of the group
had become convinced that no such
invitations would be forthcoming
Certain members of the group have
felt somewhat hurt by the failure to
include them.
Loan Too Big.
From these sources today came the
expression that a credit of from $780,
100000 to $40O,0OO.0OO would be
ample. Payment for munitions of
war, it was thought, should be ex-
cluded from the proceeds of this loan.
Under no circumstances, it was said,
would members of this group partici-
pate in a loan which would cover pay
ment of war munitions.

The crowds were at the fair grounds

Fair officials eyre again the busiest

they were satisfied.
Farmers Like Machinery.
Farmers continued to be attracted
by the machinery. Over in the ten

For the machinery of fathers time

SAND COMPANIES PAY
Royalties Will Be Turned in to State
Pending Court Decision. 81

Sand companies interested in the
sand royalty cases before the supreme
court of the United States, have agreed
to paw their fees into the state treas
ury pending final outcome of the It'll
cation. That was the agreement an
nounced in state departments today,
following a conference with sand
company officials
The suit which tests the constitu-
tionality of the sand royalty law is
now before the highest tribunal in the
country. The Kansas supreme court
said the law was constitutional and
the sand companies appealed. Pend
ing final decision the companies will
make payments to the state as pro-
vided by law. These fees will be kept
in a separate fund and in event of
decision favorable to the sand COM
panies, the money will be returned by
the state.

BANK BOOKS JUGGLED
Ledger of Chicago House Used Against
X. G. "Financiers."

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 16.-Exam-
ination of the books and banking
methods used in the operation of the
defunct American Union Trust COM
pany continued today in the trial in
the federal court here of w. L. Meyer,
George L. Davis and John w. Berry,
former officers of the Trust company,
charged with using the mails to de-
fraud. The charge is based on the
alleged issuance of fraudulent finan-
cial statement.
The practice of washing" checks, a
process of crediting on the ledger of
bank certain amount and then enter
ing a charge account for a like sum,
was the subject of much testimony In
the case.
Witnesses have testified that al
though the books of the American
Union Trust company showed cash
and sight exchange" entry of $685.
471.18 for June 80, 1911, more than
100000 of this was due from the La
Sale National bank of Chicago and
the actual cash on hand was under
5000.
The ledger of the Chicago bank was
brought into court by George G. Fox,
cashier of the institution. 1t showed
that on July 3, 1911, the American
Union Trust company had been cred
tied twice with $312,500 and on the
same day charged twice with similar
amounts, making a TRANSACTION on the
books of 1925, 900, with no balance.
