A MATTER OF STATE POLICY

One OF the weaknesses of the admins
tratlon of government for New York State
has been the failure Of the various State
officials, whether they happened to be Re
publlcans or Democrats, to give proper rep.
resentation in their appointments to the
Negro voters of the State. Little or no
consideration to this matter has been given
by past administrations and the representa-.
ton accorded the Negro voters in state af
talrs has been so scant, as to almost justify
the cry of taxation without representation.

AMERICANS ARE 1EASY"
Lack of Blue Sky Enforcement Means
Huge Annual Loss.

Boston. Oct. 8.-The annual loss to
the American public thru the purchase
of fraudulent securities was estimated
at $50O.000.000 by Charles J. Andre,
secretary of the National Association
of Securities Commissioners, in testi-
mony before the special state blue
sky law commission. Mr.. Andre said
that about 10 per cent of the stock
offered to the public was worthless
and that altho the states have blue
sky laws some are so loose that prac-
tically everything gets thru.
Mr.. Andres estimate of worthless
stock was cut by Roy c. Osgood of
Chicago, president of the Investment
Bankers Association of America, who
told the commission that only per
cent of stock issues were bad. He
said that investment bankers do not
oppose reasonable regulation. George
w. Hodges of New York, former pres
ident of the association, expressed the
opinion that 80 per cent of the pro-
motors now selling fraudulent or ques-
tionable stock could be put out of
business in ninety days if existing laws
were enforced.

ASK FOR OLD FREIGHT RATE.
NiiIIers Want Seven-Cent Charge for
Flour and Wheat Restored.

Restoration of the old 7-cent differ
entail on freight rates for flour and
wheat will be asked by the Topeka
Traffic association on behalf OF the
Kansas milIers and farmers. accord
ing to E. H Hogueland. commerce
counsel Of the association The pres
ent differential is 9 cents. the flour
rate being 941z cents and on wheat.
$50 cents The 7-cent differential
was displaced when the freight rates
were increased August 26.
"A California miller can ship loo
mounds of wheat for cents less thah
a California baker can ship 100 pounds
of flour" said Hogueland. "Conse-
ouently the milling industry grows up
in California at the expense OF the
milling industry in this state. Kansas
is now the second largest milling state
in the Union. Unless the unfair rates
are eliminated, Kansas will have 70
take a back seat in the milling IN

The e-cent differential also works
an Injustice on the farmer. as local
millers usually give a premium on tne
price paid by buyers from other STATES.

While the present basis of appor-
tionment is 1,S77 inha bitants, or its
major fraction. to the congressional
basis to 219.427 without causing any
loss. To advance beyond the latter
figure will mean that Maine would
lose one seat, with the net result of
forty-eight new seats in congress.
Oppose Increase In House.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
house as they regard the present men,
bership of 435 as too unwieldly. When
the house census committee, headed
by Representative Siegew of New
York, begins consideration of the
problem, effort will be made to hold
down the increase but pressure for the
increase is expected to come from the.
states which would benefit from a.
larger house.
Reduced in 1910.
Only once-in 1840-has the size of
the house been reduced. At one other
time just before the Civil war the ap-
portionment was held down with the
resulting loss of seats falling most
heavily on the southern states. By
holding the house membership to 435,
gains would be distributed, with three
to California, two to Michigan and
Ohio, and one each to Connecticut,
New Jersey, North Carolina, Okla
homa. Texas and Washington. To Off
set these gains, Missouri would be
forced to lose two congressman. while
Indiana, Iowa. Kansas, Kentucky.
Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Ne
braska, Rhode Island, Vermont and
Virginia would lose one each. All
other states would retain their present
numerical DELEGATIONS in congress.
