sCREATER THAN FIRE LOSS"
BY PROF. II. Fl. KING
Kansas State Agricultural College.

70 ACK of paint causes a great
q er annual loss through de-
~ terioration than the aggre-
gate Kansas fire loss for twelve
months. Yes, there is much
more reason for q real "Clean
Up and Paint Up" campaign
than the average layman would
at first recognize.
Paint, as has often been said,
serves more than the mere pur-
pose of decoration. It's principal
value lies in the fact that it pro-
longs the life of the surfaces
painted.
Wood and iron, on exposure
to the air, undergo a slow proc
ess Of oxidation, which just as
surely destroys them as though
they were set on fire, the diff
ference being the speed at which
the reaction occurs.
We take out insurance to COW
er loss by fire and should just as
surely put on paint to cover loss
by decay. It takes very little
calculation to discover the ap-
parently astounding fact that
the loss through lack of paint
ing is greater in Kansas than
the loss by fire.
When the property owner
comes to full realization of the
true reason for painting there
will be no need for public-spir-
tied people to back up a Ma
tional Campaign for such a pur-
pose.

GREEN BUILDERS A
Acting President of Bronx Would
License Contractors.

Responsibility for building disasters
In New York may lie largely In the
prevalent custom Of inexperienced and
unqualified persons engaging in the con-
tracing business. II was broadly intl-
mated In a statement given out last night
by John q. Borgstede. Commissioner Of
Public Works and acting Borough Pres
idsn: In The Bronx.
The comment of the Commissioner was
occasioned by the inquiry into the build
ing collapse at Marion avenue, near
workmen were killed and sixteen others
injured.
Neither the owners nor the ~contrac-
tors. who promptly admit their own IN
experience. employed an architect or IA
superintendent to supervise the construc-
ton of the building" said Mr.. Borgs,ede,
II am frank TO say ! never heard " such
a state OF affairs before.
"Mr. Chase was the financial man. Mr..
Beck. the nearest experienced, was the
purchaser OF building material. Mr.,
I<oewy had no experience whatever. and
Mr.. Polstein said 1t was his hrst job in
construction. Yet we have no power to
compel them to get an experienced man
to supervise the work or to inquire into
their own qualifications.
Apart from reputable and honest con-
tractors. I know a large number who
formerly were In the saloon. dry goods or
other business and who have not the
remotest knowledge of building conetruc-
ton"
The Comn.ssioner suggested that the
mandatory Ncensing OF building contrac-
tors by law with special regard to their
qualifications might prove IA beneficial
remedy for the condition prevailing here.

FRAUD CHARGED IN
WHITMAN PETITIONS
Chairman O'Connell Says Dead
Mems Names Were Used
To Prosecute Guilty.

The Of dead and the forged
names Of the living put Gov. Whitman
In Progressive nomination for the pri-
maries In Fulton county. 1t was asserted
yesterday by John J. O'Connell. New
York county chairman Of the Progressive
party. He asserts thai he will not only
seek to invalidate the Whitman petitions
but he will strive to have indicted and
convicted all persons responsible for the
alleged frauds.
Mr.. O'Connell said he had obtained
through Wendell +. Murray OF Glovers-
VILE. N. Y. anldavits from ,wenty- five
men whose names appeared on the Full
ton county petition without their con-
sent. 1t Is his belief that frauds OF the
same character were committed In the
name Of the Progressive party through
out the State. In furtherance OF the
candidacy Of Justice Seabury he in
tends to impose a like scrutiny on the
petitions In every county.
"No guilty man will be allowed to
escape" said Mr.. O'Connell. I'VE will
enlist the aid Of the Honest Ballot AS
Sotidtiou anu VI tNfTN utttHt tlllLeH
OF the state OF New York. Republicans
and Democrats will he asked to aid in
this work. and not only will we ask TO
throw out the petitions. but criminal
prosecutions will be started In every
county OF the State where this villainy
was rractised. Dur present reports are
that Fulton !s no worse thar the others
Murray went TO the office of the Secre-
tary Of State on August "a. a day before
the time limit FOR protests, to examine the
signatures of the Whitman Progressive
Committee for Fulton county. After a
short investigation he sent the follow
Ing telegram to o'Connell:
"Thirty-seven of the thirty-nine names
purport!ng to be a Progressive petition
for Whitman from Fulton county are
%forgeries. and all the afidavits Of the
notary are perjuries. Names OF dead
men and men who rave not been In the
