Utilities Commission Deceiyes
Thousands of Readers.
State Journal Apologies for
the Errors of Others.

Open deception in the distribution
of news was practiced this week by
the public utilities commission Both
moves were made by the commissions s
legal department with the apparent
approval of the commission.
Late Tuesday evening attorneys for
the commission prepared a suit to
compel the Kansas Natural to fur

the petition was prepared, the office
of the clerk of the supreme court
was closed. So the plan of the com
mission was announced most prOmi-
nently in the administration paper.
When the State Journal inquired II
the commission had adopted the pol
icy of announcing its suits in advance
the statement was made that the suit
would probably not be filed Later
assurances were given to the State
Journal that the suit had been aban-
doned.
AT 3:15-fifteen minutes before the
publication of the home edition of the
State Journal-no action had been
taken As soon as the State Journal
was on the street. the suit was filed.
Meanwhile, the State Journal had
been led, through deception of the
commission. to mislead thousands of
persons who expected through the
commission fair and honest state

Apologies OF the State Journal are
extended to its readers for the publi-
cation of a misleading statement The

TAKE MORE TIME
Better Than Lighting the Fire With
Kerosene Says Fire Marshal.

A campaign against the lighting of
fires with kerosene is being conducted
by L. T. Hussey, state fire marshal, as
a result of numerous recent reports of
conflagrations started in this way, it
was announced today.
Attention is being called to the state
law, which provides that gasoline
must be delivered to the consumer in
a red can. in an effort to minimize the
number of fires resulting from gaso-
line being mistaken for coal oil.
Mr. Hussey pointed out that the re-
port of a Coffey county case just re-
ceived in his office Is typical of errors
which may result from insufficient
caution. This asserted that gasoline
was mistaken for water, placed in a
tea kettle and a fire lighted under it.
In the resultant fire one woman was
burned to death.
Lighting a fire with petroleum of
any sort is never safe" Mr. Hussey
said. 1T is better to take little more
time and be assured that there will be
no damaging aftermath"

CALL FOR NATIONAL
BANKS STATEMENTS
Exacting Details as to Usury and
Loans Are Demanded by Comp
trOIler of Currency.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The comp
troller of the currency today issued a
call to all national banks requiring
them to report to him their condition
at the close of business on Friday, De-
cember 81.
In today's call the comptroller goes
further than at any previous time to
learn if money is being loaned by ma
tional banks in violation of state US
ury laws. He asks for a list of loans
by all banks during 1915, upon which
interest was charged or collected eth
er in the shape of interest discount
or commission at rates which would
amount to more than the equivalent
of s per cent per annum."
Banks are cautioned" says the
call, ito prepare this statement with
care and accuracy. When this report
shall have been received national
bank examiners will be instructed to
verify the reports submitted by some
banks, and if errors or discrepancies
should be discovered which may make
it necessary in order to secure accur-
acy to verify the reports submitted by
all banks. the examiners will be given
instructions accordingly"
The call also asks banks to state
whether it is their custom to require
borrowers to carry deposits when
loans are granted, how much they are
how much IS loaned and not secured
by collateral. The aggregate of
amounts which borrowers have refus-
ed to pay back because of alleged US
ury, is asked, and also the total pay
ments made by banks as penalties for
uSury
The call asks for complete informa-
ton as to the connections of officers
and directors of any bank in other
banks or trust companies, their sal
aries, liabilities as payers or endorsers
and guarantors of paper and the
amount of overdraws against them.
Under the call of the national comp
troller of the currency today. Kansas
will gather exact information as to her
financial condition at the close of the
calendar year of 1915. a call for a
statement from the state banks was is
sued last Friday by w. F. Benson,
state bank commissioner. This action
was followed today by a call for a ma
tional report for the same date.
Not since June % has there been a
call from the state and federal bank
ing departments for the same date. At
that time the combined deposits of
both state and national banks was
1925, ,666, 1879, or $46.2S1, 1,306.71 more
than the combined deposits of June 80
1914. Calls on national banks for
September Is. 1915, showed deposits
of s224.11O. O.576.2O.
1t is believed that the combined re-
port for December 81 will break all
records for the state. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars was spent during
the tax paying and holiday season.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Farmers of the
United States raised grain and other
products totaling in money value $1O,-
600. 600 900 last year. 1t was expected
by many in the grain world, as well
as in other commercial and financial
channels, that the banner crops would
result in much lower prices. The
crops of 1915 came upon us with the
grain bins of the world almost entirely
empty and the enormous movement of
wheat and oats to points of distribu-
ton have been taken care OF by a con-
tinuous extraordinary buying power.
1t is always the case that when the
man who follows the plow is receiving
large quantities of ready cash for farm
products, the merchants-and, in fact,
all walks of life enjoy more or less
prosperity.
The total wheat crop in 1915 was
1,O11, sos, 900 bushels, showing an in
crease over 1914 of 100 4SS.00O bush
els The 1914 crop of wheat was up to
that time the largest ever grown and
the 1915 crop showed wonderful gains.
The crop of corn amounted to
1854, 1000 bushels, compared with
2,672, S04, 900 bushels in 1914. The
corn crop was not the largest ever
grown in this country and the fact that
great deal of it was of poor quality,
and has not been moved off the farms
up to the present time, in consequences.
has kept considerable money out OF
circulation that otherwise would have
been sent broadcast throughout the
land.
Oats Increased, Too.
The oats crop was 1,540,362, 900
bushels. showing an increase over 1914
of 399, 1902, 900 bushels. The rye crop
was 100000 bushels, or 6.411seo0
