State Bank Commissioner viii
Reward Citizens Report
ing Illegal Stock
Sales to Officers

be offered as q state bounty for the
conviction of violators Of the blue sky
law.
Walter E. Wilson, state bank COM
missioner, yesterday requested ar
opinion from the attorney generals
office as to his authority in making
such a reward offer.
Citizens Get Rewards
Kansas now is reported filed with
agents selling stock in schemes moi
authorized by the state blue sky
board. Richard ]. Hopkins, attorney
general, is sending letters to the coun-
ty attorneys, urging them to be more
active in enforcing the law.
The reward offered by Wilson is for
the purpose of making citizens more
active in reporting cases Of illegal
stock sales for county officers. The
reward is for the citizen, not the Of
ficer.
Also, Mr.. Wilson made q strong
statement yesterday against the prac-
tice of many Kansas banks in accept
ing promotion paper"
Practice Must Stop
Thus, agents of promotion schemes
come into community and sell their
stock, which may be a legitimate
transaction. The agent takes the note
of the purchaser to a bank, which
pays for the note, receiving q discount
of from. 10 to rs per cent. Thereafter,
when the time comes for the collection
of the notes, there is difficulty.
"The practice Of banks prOfting by
heavy discounts on doubtful paper
must STOP" said Wilson. The accept
ance of promotion paper by Brokers
Salina bank was one Of the causes for
its present trouble.

THE MORNING AFTER

After five or six hours Of the, solid

Alfred Blair came wide awake all al
! once and set himself to wrestling with
the new factors il his situation, thos~.
that Celia's unexpected ATTITUDE and
unprecedented display Of emotion last
night had forced upon him.
He realized that the things women
say in moments OF emotional stress do
not always represent their considered
opinions. Celia's avowal, for example.
that she had been fond of him-''pers
fectly idiotic about him''-up to the
moment of what she had spoken of as
his insult last night. might have been
.snatched merely as an effective back
ground to set off the insult itself in
more lurid colOrs.
But there could be no doubt that she
felt strongly about the matter. She was
not Indifferent to him. Chivalrously as
he had meant it, he could see now chat
his suggestion Of willingness to fur
nish her with pretext for getting rid

of his confession Of his financial down

We expect to be criticised and in many quarters
criticised severely. We will be criticised and in no
light way from the very people whose cause this
paper sponsors, and we will be criticised from the
Independent Voters Association sympathizers
because they think they have chance of branding
us as double crossers." A physician never per-
formed an operation but that at some stage of the
game he caused pain to the patient, but neverthe-
less the operation probably saved the life of the
patient. Our experience in the newspaper bus-
ness is not day old. We stood by the farmers in
the heated campaigns of %une and again in the
fall. We will stand by them again in campaigns
to come.
The enemies of the Morton County Farmers
Press will use cur independent stand as means of
criticism. They will throw open their columns of
their papers to the sympathizers of Townley-
something they would NEVER do BEFORE oh, no,
the only trouble was they didn't have the oppor-
tunity. They will show themselves up in their
true light NOW. Somebody said something about
socalistic sympathizers getting "hearing' in
their paper but expect to see at least few
communications of men in sympathy with Town
ley and his socialistic 'lickspittles' in the BIG
BUSINESS fed righteous columns. In fact we ex-
pect to see some Of these same gas attacks pos
sbly on the front page.
They'll show that certain newspaper, where
to get off at They'll put us out of business, rub
our nose in the ground or something else almost
as disastrous. Just watch their smoke.
Nevertheless, that same newspaper outfit, may
be looking for that official league newspaper ap-
pointment. You know it's different proposition
when somebody is going to put $4,000 in your
pocket or if they are going to take it out.
Notwithstanding all these facts, the Morton
County Farmers Press is able to weather to the
storm, we believe. We have all the confidence in
the world of mankind and we are not so very ner-
vous. We have assumed an Independent stand not
because it may help a few politicians, not because
we're double-crossers and NOT because we're trai-
tors, but because are sincere in our convictions;
because we believe the five measures-the Print
ing bill, Judicial bill, One Man Tax bill, 1mmigra-
ton bill, and Board Of Administration bill, are
NOT in the farmers program and are INJURIOUS
to the farmers program. If the people vote for
the bills and pass them, we are willing to admit
that we're wrong and viii abide by the majority,
