they ARE MERGED
Merchants Association VIII
Cease to Exist After Dec. L.
Plan Approved by Directors of
the Two Organizations.

After December /, the activities
and functions of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Topeka Merchants as
ISOLATION will be carried on by the
Chamber of Commerce, and the To-
peka Merchants ASSOCIATION will cease
to exist
The merger of the two bodies, pro-
posed for many months past. was ap-
proved by the boards of directors of
the two CARNATIONS at a joint meet
ing which ended late Tuesday after
noon after the proposed plan OF ANAL
gamation for them had been presented
by j. B. Wiles, of Chicago OF the
American City Bureau.
The interests of the merchants in
the carrying on of activities for their
particular benefit will be guaranteed
by the appropriation of Is per cent
of the dues which are paid into the
which are to be expended under the
direction of a merchants committee
selected by the merchants themselves.
The 16 per cent of the dues will
amount to approximately 5000 a
year, according to the present mem
bership of the Chamber.
The Two Organizations Merged.
The formation of the merchants
committee will be accomplished later.
The merger means the abolition of the
office of the secretary of the Mer-
chants association. Il
II was agreed among the directors
OF the two organizations that the
Chamber of Commerce shall pay to
the Merchants association the $4,000
which is appropriated from its annual
budget for that organization, before
the merger takes place, and the Mer-
chants association shall settle all its
outside obligations before the merger.
The resignation of Guy c. Sickler,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, and Milton Tabor secretary of
the Topeka Merchants association,
were rendered when the merger was
first decided upon, in order to give the
directors of the two bodies a free hand
in making their plans for the future.

TO HEAR GRAIN CASE SOON
P. u C. Is Assembling Data for Hear
ing in Washington.

the Kansas public utilities commits
sion is busy assembling data for it's
grain rate case which has been set for
hearing by the interstate commerce
commission at Washington beginning
December IL.
The case was filed several weeks
ago by the Kansas commission. 1t
seeks a reduction of interstate rates
on grain, grain products and hay in
what is known as the western rate
group of states. More than a dozen
states, according to Chairman Clyde
NJ. Reed, have signified their intention
to participate in the suit. The terri
tory embraced in the western rate
group extends from the Mississippi
river and Chicago to the Rocky Noun
tains.
In a suit initiated by the Kansas
commission last year the interstate
commerce commission handed down
an order effective last December slash
ing approximately $60,00O.OO0 off
grain and hay freight rates in the
western territory. About 5000, 900
of this amount accrued to Kansas
farmers, Chairman Reed declares. The
reduction amount to about half the in
crease granted by the interstate COM
mission the previous year. The recent
suit brought by the Kansas commits
sion in conjunction with neighboring
states seeks a reduction on rates on
the same commodities approximating
the remaining half of the 1920 in
crease and, if allowed, will result in
a saving of about another $6,00O,OO0
to farmers of this state, Chairman
Reed said today.

SUBSIDY LEADERS SEE GAIN
Capper Wants Aid for Farmer-Op-
poses Shipping Bill.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Converts to
the administrations ship subsidy
program and increased support for
the pending merchant marine bill were
claimed this afternoon by subsidy lead
ers as a result of President Harding's
address to congress. Those fighting
the subsidy asserted the address would
not win a single vote.
Among the views expressed were
the following:
Senator Harold, Republican: The
only justification for subsidy is that
it is the lesser of two evils
Senator Capper, Kansas, Republic
can: There is nothing in the presi-
dents message which I can endorse
except that we must have legislation
to relieve distress among the agricui-
turaI interests. must disagree with
the case made out by the president for
subsidy. 1t would mean a raid on the
treasury by the big shipping interests"

well mounted and well armed. 1t
totals probably $4,000 men. They
march over the country side spread
across a route six miles wide, lighting
their way at night by burning farm
houses. Every city and town thru
which they pass is burned and looted.
Thousands of men, women and chill

of these have been ransomed, but
many have been cruelty shot. Our
road was strewn with bodies.

POWER ON FARMS
Many Gas, Oil and Steam En-
gfnes on Farms i'm Kansas.
Marion County i'm Lead With
Total of 675.

In addition to the automobiles,
trucks. tractors and motorcycles on
Kansas farms, reports of the state
board of agriculture show that 15.2
per cent of the farms are equipped
with gas, oil or steam engines or cleo
trio motors to tighten farm work and
speed it up. OF these engines, 1886
are either gas or oil engines, 1,7sS are
operated by steam and 1,463 are cleo
tric motors. Gas and oil engines are
almost as numerous in this state as
tractors and are found principally IN
the central and northeastern counties,
according to a. census made public to-
day by J. C. Mohlers- secretary OF the
agriculture board. All the twenty
gas or oil engines are in this part OF
the state and have 40 per cent OF the
states total. The leading county in
point of numbers is Marion, in central
Kansas, which reports SIS of these Ia
Dor savers. followed by Washington,
635; Mcpherson, 627, and Reno, 615.
Seward county in the southwest re-
ports the smallest number OF gas en-
gines on farms, three.
NJ Many i'm Solomon Valley.
Electric motors for farm power are
principally in the territory traversed
by electric transmission lines. This is
especially true thru the Solomon and
Smoky river valleys and is noticeable
also along the Arkansas. Dickinson
county is the leader in the number OF
electric motors, reporting 79, while
Mcpherson is close second with 10,
and Saline, third, with 81, according
to Mr.. Mothers summary. In Reno,
Pawnee, Stafford and Finney counties,
electric motors are also gaining in
popularity and a future development
of this kind of power seems assured,
the agriculture secretary says.
