CAPPER TO POST
Governor Tells Washington Pa
per Kansas Conditions.
Prosperity Reigns, According to
Report of State Heads.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 6.-Pros-
perity rests upon the United States as
the new year of 1916 begins. Not only
Is business good today, but the out
look is for continued good times, in
the opinion OF a majority of American
state governors. These conclusions
are drawn from poll made recently
by the Washington Post of the chief
executives of many states. A candid
report on actual conditions. with no
reference whatever to politics or out
side issues. was sought.
1t is agreed. in most cases. that the
war has benefited business and that its
continuance means continued prosper
ity for this country. In every state
so far on record the records show vir-
tually no more unemployment than
normal, and in several commonwealth
there is a job for every man who
wants work.
In his report to the Washington
Post, Governor Arthur Capper declares
that the industrial and business con
ditions in Kansas are good. The ques-
tons and his answers follow:
l. What are industrial and business
conditions in your state? Industrial
and business conditions in Kansas are
very good.
,. To what extent and in what di-
rection has the war affected these
conditions? 1t has caused an increase
OF exploration of horses mules. wheat
lead. zinc, walnut logs and other COM
modities used by the warning nations
j. What effect may be expected if
the war should continue another year Z?
II - likely there will be a continuation
OF the expectations mentioned in an
swer to No. ,, probably in a greater
degree.
4. Apart from what may be expect
ed as result of the war, what is the
general outlook in your common
wealth? II is difficult to say just what
the situation viii be after the close of
the war. Kansas is primarily an agri-
cultural state and farming is the chief
1 industry. The crop acreage in antici-
patton OF the active European markets
| Will be greatly increased, the hope be-
ing, of course, that there will be a cor
/ responding increase in production
/ With the close of the war and the sub
! sequent decrease in expectation when
/ Europe again begins to produce there
| may be, and probably will be, a sharp
/ decline in prices, to say nothing of the
4 probable effect the new tariff will
| have under normal conditions Sc
/ there is in my opinion, more or less
uncertainty az to the stability of prices
| for agricultural products for some
time after the return of peace abroad
D. What is the approximate number
of the unemployed in your state
/ There are practically no unemployed
in Kansas. ARTHUR CAPPER,
! Topeka. Governor.

AID MUNITIONS OUTPUT
Commons Passes Act: War Depends ON
Workmen, Says Lloyd George.

London, Jan. 6.-The house of COM
mons today passed a bill designed to
facilitate the output of munitions. The
bill is in the form of an amendment to
the munitions act In appealing for
the passage of the measure David
Lloyd-George, minister of munitions,
said:
Il hope the commons will not rem
der more difficult the task of turning
out munitions task more serious
than | dare tell.
Everything depends upon it. The
length of the war depends upon it.
Everything depends upon whether we
turn out munitions in sufficient guam
titles TO bring the campaign to an end
this year.
THAT does not depend on the SOL
diers who have done their task hero
ically. It depends entirely upon-I
say it in all solemnity-the workmen
of this country doing what the work

PLAN new STATE
Would Make Separate Division of Up
per Peninsula in Michigan.

Calumet, Mich, Jan. 6.-Plans for a
campaign to carve the forty-ninth
state of the union out of the upper
peninsula of Michigan under the
name Superior were discussed here
last night by Roger NJ. Andrews, pro-
prietor of the Menominee Herald
Leader.
Mr. Andrews spoke at the annual
banquet of the Calumet Business Mems
association and backed up his argu-
ment by statistics comparing the size
and resources of the upper PENN
sula" with those of communities al
ready admitted to the union. He as
serted that the assessed valuation of
the district exceeds that of one of sew
enteen states which he named and laid
particular stress upon the fact that it
is isolated geographically from the
rest of the state.

A Thirty-Pound Rail.

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company has come
into possession of a fOur-foot section
Of the first rail used on the old Hous-
atomic railroad through a gift to Pres
ident Howard Elliott by A s. Smith,
agent of the company at Falls Vii
lage, Conn. The rail was unearthed
about twenty years ago when the
shops of the Housatonic railroad at
Falls Village were demolished.
This section of rail is thin, narrow
strip of iron, and is similar to the rails
used by most Of the early railroads be-
fore the invention Of robert L. Stew

the Camden and Amboy road. The
rail is a "G0-pOundcr."

A SHORTAGE IN TRACKNfEN?
Western Railroad Men Fear That La
borers Will Be Scarce.

This early in the year railway man
ayers are beginning to wonder where
they will get their trackmen for the
campaign of 1916. Every spring it is
necessary for the railroads to do a
large amount of track work. Large
forces are employed and gangs are
sent out from the big cities to do the
work.
There are indications this early in
the year that the larger cities will not
furnish the usual amount of track la
Dor next year. The factories of the
east are calling for common labor;
the governments of Europe have been
calling for soldiers, and the winter 5
supply of new labor from Europe may
be much less than usual.
The usual number of MeXicans will
report for track work in the spring, it
is believed However, several roads
in Kansas do not employ Mexican la
Dor and it is not impossible that a
shortage may occur.

HAVE PETITION IN

Women of Monmouth in Cam

Get Many Signers.

Long Branch, Dec. 8.-Mrs. Lewis S.
Thompson, heading a delegation of
between seventy-five and 100 promin-
ent citizens of Monmouth county, in
Guiding clergymen and physicians, this
week presented petitions which she
said bore the signatures of 1900 vot-
ers that had been tabulated and dup
licates eliminated, and also 500 odd
signatures that had not been tabulated
or any duplicates thereon eliminated
These petitions were in favor of the
establishment of a tuberculosis hos
pital in Monmouth, and bore more
than majority of the voters in the
county.
In presenting them Mrs. Thompson
said the work had taken up about two
years and that the Board of Freehold
ers had agreed that if they could be
assured in any way that the people
of the county favored such an institu-
ton, it would be willing to provide
therefore.
Mrs. Thompson, in presenting the
petitions, said she did not deem it
necessary at this time to discuss fully
the requirements and the purposes of
such an institution, as they had been
discussed so many times before the
board. The board then invited any
one to speak upon the subject and a
number availed themselves of the priv
ilege. Among them were Rev. George
f. Smith, of Navesink; Joseph Brake
ley, of Freehold; Rev. F. B. Sweezey,
