Hand both of whom were connected
with the art department of the col

have it reproduced in heroic size. in
bronze as lasting memorial to the
great Lincoln.
In subsequent correspondence with
Borglum. the noted sculptor, whose
pupil Merrell Gage was, it was said
that no one could do better than the
young Topekan.
After getting the estimates as to the
probable cost of the statue without
any remuneration for his own time
and labor, which the young Kansa n
gladly gave to his state, the matter
was taken up by the art department
of the Woman's club. of which Mrs.
Hand was at that time chairman, and
Mrs. j. d. Hathaway vice chairman.
Later, Mr.. H. B. Wilson, superin-
tendent of the city schools. interested
the school children in the project, and
by their efforts a considerable sum
was realized.

Governor Doesn't Approve of Taylor
appointment as Coal Director.

Governor Capper today directed a
fight against the appointment of Harry
n. Taylor of the Central Coal < Coke
company of Kansas City, as director
of coal distribution for six states. The
governor declared the appointment
gave the coal operators unwarranted
control of distribution
Coal distribution, the governor fears,
may be placed in control of the oper-
ators ana men interested in coal pro-
auction, rather than in the hands of
the people who are consumers. The
governor said he saw little opportun-
lty for benefit to consumers in the ap-
pointment. Both consumers and pro-
ducers should be represented, the gov
ernor said. In formal statement the
governor expressed his views as fol-
lows:
The action of the national fuel admin.
istrator looks like surrender to the coal
operators, said the governor toaav "Har.
ry n. Taylor now has control of tbe ,iis
trlDut1on of coal in Kansas, Missouri. Iowa
Nebraska. oklahoma and Arkansas. The
Iuei ADMINISTRATORS of the six states pro-
tested against this appointment 1t places
the fuei situation III these states in the
hands OF the operators. 1t is not sur
piislns 70 near that the expenses of this
distribution bureau will be paid by the
operators and that they suggested this
appointment.
1t seems to me the governments poIicv
OF letting each big industry arrange prices
and conditions i'll its field to suit itself
Wouiu De hheiy TO give us just what We
are getting. How can we hope to get away
from profIteer prices and conditions by
this methodI In what way is it different
from the usual methods of big business
These men have never had and cannot have
the public's viewpoint; they don't know
how the other half lives Their whole
training has been to take care of No. l and
take advantage of every opportunity to get
more out of the public 1t is expecting toe
much of human nature to expect them to
make so instantaneous a change.
Il have repeatedly expressed these views
to Doctor Garfield and Mr.. Hoover, sug-
costing that consumers and producers
should be represented on all price fixing
boards and that the regulating and admin
istration of these and all other necessities
should be placed in the hands of impair
tial men, preferably men selected from
outside these industries"
