SHOULD OWN FARMS
Governor Allen Urges Lumbermen To
Work for Land Ownership.

Kansas City. Jan. 31.-Urging lum-
bermen of the southwest to return to

Allen of Kansas pointed to this as the
best method of fighting the Bolshe-
Wiki and l. w. w.
Governor Allen pointed out that the
breaking up of the vast acres owned
by spectators into small farms, whose
owners would live on and till them.
would result in better farms and more
efficient farming. and would lead to a
big boom, not only in the lumber bust
ness. but in all business.
Farms owned. by spectators spell
unimproved farms and a great waste
of land because of inefficient farming.
according to Governor Allen. The
land owner who lives on his farm i'm
proves and beauties the farm and
cultivates it as scientifically as he
knows how, he pointed out. That
means that more money is to be put
into circulation, consequently more
business for every one.

REVIEWS CHARGES
Allen Tells Kansas City of the
Losses of 35th.
Reads Report From First Aid
Captain i'm ArgOnne.

Kansas City, Jan. Shielding from
what he said was an official report
prepared by ex-Capt. Harry r. Coff-
man, of Chicago, former psychiatrist
of the 35th division, Governor Henry
]. Allen of Kansas. in speech here
before the city club, renewed his
charges that the Missouri and Kansas
division suffered heavy losses as re-
suit of inefficiency of transportation,
Inadequate air protection in the Ar
gonne wood battle. Captain Coffman,
he said, was in charge of the first aid
casualty station in the. Argonne action
and rendered a report of the divisions
casualties.
At that station, according to the re-
port, a copy of which the officer
mailed to Governor Allen, the entire
casualties which passed thru included
those of seven divisions, tottall1ng
6,3O1. OF that number, the report
states, 1923 were from the Thirty
fifth division.
No first aid station was established
the first day of the Argonne battle,
the report asserts, and the Officers
gave as a reason the lack of trans
portation to bring up litters and
blankets.
wounded men were compelled to lie
in the mud, he said. According to
Captain Coffman's report, many of the
| wounded went direct from the front
to the rear dressing station without
first aid, due partly to lack of trans
portation necessary to establish two
| lines of communication-on to the
first aid and one to the rear, and also
because there was no room in the first
aid stations due to the unexpected
number of casualties. French and
English trucks were used to transport
wounded, the report asserts. after the
| American transportation system be-
came congested.
Lack of proper artillery support, the
governor declared. also was due to
! lack of transportation, and the failure
| of the air program, the governor said
! was a secondary cause for the heavy
! losses

the Allen scheme than Senator James
Malone of the big northwest district
Il have been in the Kansas legis-
lature since 1905" Malone said, land
IN all that time there has never been
a single man in my district to urge the
passage of a measure providing for a
constitutional convention. have
talked to other senators and they tell
me the same thing. Therefore, I am
convinced the people do not want a
constitutional-c onvention-and this is
what makes me 50 afraid of the
proposition.
Sees Ultcrior Motive.
'Tf the people do not want it then
there must be some Interior motive be-
hind the demand that is being made
for it. Men in public life who depend
upon the support of-the people do not
usually urge things the people do not
want without Interior motives. If my
people wanted a constitutional con-
vention l would vote for it, because /
am here to represent them and carry
out their wishes. But 1 am convinced
they do not want it, and 1 personally
cannot see any reason for doing away
with the constitution under which we
have made Kansas one of the greatest
and cleanest and best states in the
union.
"Some of the supporters of the new
&C Institution scheme are urging that
the present constitution should be dis
carded because it is old. So are the
Ten Commandments old, but there is
no public agitation to discard them
even tho a great many people do not
try to live up to them. And it must be
remembered that our state constitu-
ton has a decided advantage over the
Ten Commandments in that it is sub
ject to improvement and change every
two years. Three amendments can be
made to it every two years, but even
this elasticity seems more than the
people demand. because there has
never been a time when more than
two were voted on at any one election
If I remember correctly. there also
was a proposition up before the peo-
pie some years ago that would permit
as many as seven changes to be made
at one time. and the people voted
against this. showing pretty con-
clusively that they were fairly well
satisfied with the old constitution. and
that they were not anxious to expose
it to Unnecessary tampering and
tinkering."
