Board of Directors.

HE is AN EXPERIENCED BANKER

Dan f. Callahan, prominent King
man banker-Democrat is slated for
the $1,000 a year job as president of
the new federal farm loan bank at
wichita. w, F. Benson, state bank
commissioner. is slated for place on
the board of directors following the
expiration of his term as bank COM
missioner. A number of Kansans are
candidates for places in the official
management OF the bank.
Selection of Callahan as head of the
new farm loan bank means reward
to the Kingman man for his services
to Congressman Jouett Shouse of the
Seventh district. Callahan was chair
man of the Seventh district congress
sional committee in 1914 when Shouse
was elected to congress to succeed
George A. Neeley. In 1916, Callahan
was a member of the Kansas delega-
ton to the Democratic national con-
vention in st. Louis. The Kingman
man did not head the Shouse commit
tee in the recent campaign altho he
was active in behalf of the Democrat
congressman.

lahan will land the $4,000 year job

appointment would probably meet

Two Places Open to Benson.
One report in connection with the
organization of the new federal bank
is to the effect that w. F. Benson,
state bank commissioner, will receive
appointment to a place on the board
of directors. In event of his appoint
ment he would go to the new bank
following expiration of his term as
state bank commissioner. Benson's
term expires in April. Should Ben
son prefer the position of registrar. it
is asserted that he might have that
office. The job of registrar pays a sal
airy of $500 a year and in point of
salary is the second place of import
ance in the bank.
Plans for organization of the bank
are to be left largely in the hands of
Congre ssman Shouse of the Seventh
district and Congressman Ayres of the
Eighth district, according to reports.
w. A. Haymaker, a Wichita lawyer,
is said to have been listed for the
position OF attorney for the board.

1t Even Costs More When the
Paupers Die Now.
The Price of Burial Has Ad-
vanced 33 1-3 Per Cent.
KEEPING warm BIG PROBLEM
Shortage of Coal Felt in All
State Institutions
Laboratory Supplies for the
Schools Up $4,000.

Every phase of the high cost of liv-
ing. as well as the high cost of keep
ing well, and above all-the high cost
of dving-is hitting the state of Kan
sas. Complaints today in state de-
partments indicate that a hard winter
faces the state. Expenses for all COM
modities purchased by the state nave
gone straight up and the legislature
will face a bunch of appropriation
bills that will shock economy advo-
Gates.
one of the new troubles which to-
day came to state departments was
notice of an almost certain increase
of one-third in the cost of dying. the
notice means that the state must pay
$50 for funeral for an inmate OF a
state institution. In former years the
prevailing prices was $3.50. Now the
undertakers demand $50 for the most
modest burial and are clamoring for
business at the new rate Several
hundred inmates of state institutions
die every year and are buried by the
state The increase means an added
expense of several thousand dollars a
year.
Keeping Warm a Problem.
Another trouble before the state is
the expense of keeping warm. Coal
prices are out of sight and going high
er. A number of state institutions are
entirely out of fuel or are running on
short supplies. Added to the trouble
is the fact that persons holding con-
tracts to supply state institutions have
in many instances been unable to fur
nish an adequate supply. The price
has greatly increased and dealers who
are losing money are looking for an
opportunity to sidetrack contracts.
With all of the trouble resulting from
the coal shortage. the prison output is
short. The coal expense at state insti-
buttons amounts to several hundred
dollars a day.
The high cost of living hit all state
institutions during the December con-
tract letting. Purchase of flour and
other commodities was deferred in
view of the high prices. Institution
heads elected to buy on the open mar
ket. But the markets have not
slumped and appropriations are not
sufficient to meet demands.
Chemicals Sky High.
Here is another trouble in the high
cost of living and dying that affects
the state. Supplies for state schools
will, cost approximately $4,000 more
during the next biennium than dur
ing the last two years. One of the
heavy expense items is for supplies in
the laboratories at state institutions
and for medicines and supplies at
Rosedale hospital. In some instances
laboratory supplies have increased
several hundred per cent in expense.
And the state must pay the bills or
close shop. All of which brings a
pang of sorrow and remorse to the
well meaning legislative member who
came to Topeka under promises to his
constituents that he would apply the
AK to appropriations for state expense

MAKE ALL CARS ALIKE
e. p. Ripley Urges That Every Road
Adopt a Standard Box Car.

What Standardization of automo-
biles, watches and other mechanical
products, has done for the products
named, may be accomplished for the
humble box car, if the efforts of some
of the railway magnates of the coun-
try be successful
E. p. Ripley, president of the Santa
Fe, has been one of the moving spirits
in the attempt to make every box car
like every other box car. To the un-
technical eye, most box cars look alike,
but there are many differences in de-
sign and in equipment which are the
result of whims or fancies jim the me-
chanical departments of various roads,
Mr. Ripley and other executives be-
iieve that the mission of the box car
will be better fulfilled if the differ
ences be abolished. To that end they
secured the appointment of commit
tee by the American Railway associa-
ton, which is working on plans for
a standard box car. Mr.. Ripley is
chairman of the committee.
Tho matter of Standardization of
box cars, at present when the acute
car shortage makes it imperative that
all cars be capable of operating on
any line, is occupying much of the at
tention of the railway men.
