HELP KANSAS WIN AND HELP

Ir. and Mrs. Kansan:

Mr. and Mrs Kansan:
In recent letter to Ohio postmas-
tiers concerning the savings contest
that is on between Kansas and Ohio
during June, July and August, Mr.. p.
J. Wood, Ohio State Savings Director,
referred to the Indian appellations
Beautiful River and Smoky Wa
ter'as applied to Ohio and Kansas
respectively. He slightly implied that
the Smoke from the water in Kan
sas is beclouding the eyes of Kansans
when they profess to see victory
ahead in the contest
Holy Smoked If Mr.. Wood had
been a Kansan he would have real
lied that when Kansas &<ties into, an
other state you can't see the other
state for the smoke that Kansas
makes Ohio may be beautiful. That
depends upon how much frewater the
Indian had consumed when he named
that great state But when it comes
to smoke-Kansas invites the world
to watch hers.

NEWS AND COMMENT

The state board of administration
is considering the proposition of
moving the state school for the deaf
and dumb from Olathe to Topeka on
account OF an alteration with the
officials of the city of Olathe over
the water supply The Institution has
been in Olathe for SO many years
that it is really a part of the city and
it will not likely be moved away
Olathe is short of water every time
there is little dry spell but it is
likely a way will be found whereby
a water supply can be secured rather
than to let the Institution be taken
away
An article in the farm news of the
last week says kansas needs 100 900
milk cows With the present price of
butter fat and the low price of cattle
in general, it will be a hard propo-
sition to make a Kansas farmer be-
lieve he should milk few more
cows as long as he can raise wheat
and other crops.
Nevertheless it has been the old
milk cow and few hogs which have
pulled many farmer out of fnan-
cia1 hole when all things else failed
and he sold his butter and hogs at a
lower price than they are now sell
ing at.

Bill Aims to Destroy All Manipu-
Iation, Tincher, Its Author
Explains.
TO TAX TRANSACTIONS
Chicago Board of Trade May Close Its
Doors if Bill Becomes a Law,
Joseph p. Griffin, Presi-
dent, Declares.

Washington-The Tincher bill TO
regulate dealings in grain futures was
passed by the House and sent to the
Senate.
The vote was 269 to &c.
The measure is designed to abolish
the practice in grain markets of puts
and "calls,' ups" and downs" and
'indemnities" by levying a tax of 20
cents bushel on such transactions. A
similar tax is provided on contracts for
future delivery, made outside of "con-
tract markets." to be designated by the
Secretary of Agriculture, except when
the seller is actual possessor of the
grain.
The bill went through practically in
its committee from and will absolute
ly destroy manipulation, according to
Representative Tincher, Republican,
Kansas, it's author, although it does
not abolish what is known to the grain
trade as the Legitimate hedge" he
said
Chicago Board May Close Doors.
Chicago-The Chicago Board of
ket, may withdraw from business if the
Tincher bill to regulate dealings in
grain futures which was passed by the
lower House of Congress, becomes a
law, Joseph P. Griffin, president of the
board, declared in a statement
While I do not speak with authority
for my exchange excepting the Chicago
Board of Trade" the statement said,
"it is my deliberate judgment that the
grain exchanges of the country will
voluntarily withdraw from business
and close their market places rather
than submit to the intolerable, unfair
and arbitrary features of this bill The
exchanges do not protest regulation
and should there be evil in their bust
ness, they have no objection to legis.
lation if they themselves fail to eradi-
cate such evil.
