81 look for a heavy increase in the
population of Kansas in 1920 and
1921" Edward Chambers, vice-pres-
ident of the Santa Fe Railroad, said
in an interview at Topeka. Due to
the crowded conditions, farmers must
come to the West. where land is avail
able, and Kansas offers unusual ad-
Vantages. Land still sells at reason
able prices; the diversification OF
crops makes failure impossible; there
are first class markets in reach of
every producer, and living conditions
are satisfactory. Kansas, therefore. is
attractive to the home seeker, and that
is why so many inquiries come to US. )"
Mr.. Chambers recently returned to the
Santa Fee after serving in the food
and railroad administration as direc-
tor Of traffic, during the war.

Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
NO PRIVATE CAR THIS YEAR
State Tax Commissioners Must Con-
time TO Pay Their Fare When
Travelling as During War.

Members of the state tax commits
sion have been looking forward to the
return of the railroads to private own
ership with satisfaction. Aside from
their interest in a return to normal
conditions as soon as possible, they
figured it would mean they could
charter a car and inspect the railroad
property of the state as they did be-
fore the war, instead of having to
spend twice the time and more of
the states money by taking regular
trains and stopping at hotels.
But their hopes were dashed when
the Santa Fe notified the commission
that the government rules and regu-
lations would prevail for several
months to come, at least. No special
car for the tax commission this year.
Before the war the commission would
charter car, stock it with provisions
and live on the car until the annual
inspection of railroad property requir-
ed by law was completed. The trip
this way could be completed in about
three weeks and the cost to the state
was less than by travelling from town
to town and paying hotel bills. Be-
sides it was more convenient for the
members of the commission.
The war time practice of individual
inspection of railroad properties will
continue this year Col. Willie Med.
Rowan will start inspecting the Santa
Fe at once. Jasper T. Kincaid of
Olathe, will start inspecting the south
eastern lines soon
