Alderman Kelly
 Plays Conditions

(Continued from Page One)
 tory has developed into a party ques- ton and will apparently be fought out tonight on party lines and ac- cording to the apparent lineup of the vote, the Republican members of the Board of Aldermen will have to an- swer for the inevitable High School housing shortage, should the emer- gency bill be defeated.
 As one alderman who attempted d to receive 8 substantial verdict of the people of my district on this import ant question, l interpreted the results of the recent referendum in the 3rd district to mean that some two thou sand voters therein-through lack of interest, time. data or initiative-have indicated a desire to leave the matter to my own judgment, feeling perhaps that I have looked into it deeper tha n they could and with more facts at hand. As far as I am concerned I may say that this reasoning would be correct, as I have exhausted every item of argument and detail to ar rive at the best solution, and am
 pleased to announce that I shall vote for the purchase of the Star Shirt property together with an amended purchase of a site for an East Side High SchooD because I know it Is the only medium for housing some
 eleven hundred pupils next Septem- ber-on schedule"
 "One argument" continued Alder
 man Kelly, and the chief one as ] nearo IL rom some or the people who voted against it-is the idea that the price is inflated. I learned from the Board of Apportionment that if the property has been under valued it is | the fault of previous assessors. Cases like this bring out the fact that prev ious assessors by certifying to the city clerk lists which have been under valued, have cost the city money, and
 make subsequent purchases by the 1 city such as this look rather like pool business and the city should hold these former officials liable, both for the 1 loss of money and prestige.
 1T have also heard directly intimate reports which set forth actual case. of immortality at the High schoo l which are chargeab1e to overcrowd l ing.

ALL PLANS MADE
 FOR ELKS BALL

Arrangements have been completed to accommodate 1500 couples at the E1ks' Ball to be held tonight in the Elks' Home on State street.

The upstairs and downstairs ball rooms will be used for dancing and dinner will be served late in the evening.
 Dr. J. Francis Keeley exalted ruler, will be in charge.
 It is not expected that the com mon council meeting will be Of long duration this evening as many mem bers intend to attend the Elks' Ball: Truly the meeting will be an unusual sight if all the members who anti cipate attending the ball appear in full dress at the council chambers. The gathering will assume the aspect of a meeting of foreign diplomats.

Monday, April IT, 1922

Boys and girls are thrown togeth- CT through the ~overcrowding or Soiie others without the proper superVas- ion.
 Loitering in the corridors and rest rooms become a natural consequence of Cvercrowding, with bad aSsoc1a- ton and appointments made which result in only one thing-emba barrassed parerts-who, am sure, would will ing1y spend the money to alleviate conditions. The mere fact that an addition is built on the present build ing will not improve conditions, De- cause the increased seating capacity will only emphasize the fact that as a single unit. the building will be just as overcrowded as before and will far exceed the regulation of the state of pupils per school building. There is question but that separate building is needed. and the only sat isfactor building is available is the that the city will get back the cost of the property in fifteen years by saving large rentals now paid, so how can it be said we are wasting one cent?
 T am positive that two years 1 hence, with this property proving its l usefulness and vindicating our judg- l ment, and with an East Side High school. on the way. the people will endorse and acclaim us." At 3 o'clock a joint meeting of the
 
 and the Advisory Board was held to go ever the plans for the purchase of the Star Shirt factory to be used for conVertion into a high school build ing.
 Best Plan, Says Mayor. Previous to the meeting when ques- toned on the proposed purchase of the property Mayor Atwater said, 'l think that the purchase of the Star Shirt factory for the making of a high school is the best plan that has hnnr +cI fI15Ns- F@r- f1-. A1. 1 ble solution of the school situation l Unless another plan which is better than the proposed one is brought forth this evening at the meeting of the common council I think that the Dem ocratic aldermen will all vote on l the purchase favorably."

Policy Will
 Be Examined

Whether the accident policy for $10,000. found on the body of Hugh of Wall street last fall, and whose body was found Sept. IT, last, is a receipt for the collection of that amount will be determined by the efforts of Thomas P. Hurley, of this city who has been appointed admin isTator of the estate of Kerrins, which consists of the policy. The man who insured Kerrins acting as agent for an insurance company, said the other day that since the policy did not specifically state that drown ing was an accident he did not see that the relatives of Kerrins could collect on the policy. Attorney Arthur B. Weiss of the legal aid bu- reau of the Charities Department will act as the attorney for the ad- ministrator.

Some Aspects of the

In examining the agricultural situa
ton with q view to Its Improvement,
we shall be most helpful II we main
tain a detached and judicial viewpoint,
remembering that existing wrongs may
be chiefly an accident Of unsymmetri-
cal economic growth instead Of crea-
ton Of malevolent design and conspira-
cy We Americans are prone, as Pro
fessor David Friday well says In his
admirable book, profits, Wages and
Prices" to seek criminal intent be-
hind every difficult and undesirable eco
nomic situation" I can positively as
sert from my contact with men of
large affairs, including bankers that,
rs n whole. they are endeavoring tn
fulfll as they see them the obligations
that 20 with their power. Preoccupied
with the grave problems and heavy
tasks Of their own immediate affairs,
they have not turned their thoughtful
personal attention or their construc-
tive abilities to the deficiencies Of agri-
cultural business organization. Agri-
culture. it may be said. suffers from
their preoccupation and neglect rather
than from any purposefu exploitation
by them. They ought now to begin to
respond to the farmers difficulties,
which they must realize are their own.
On the other hand. my contacts with
the farmers have filed me with respect
for them-for their sanity, their pa
thence, their balance. Within the last
year. and particularly at a meeting
called by the Kansas State Board Of
Agriculture and at another called by
the Comnittee of Seventeen, | have
met many Of the leaders Of the new
farm movement, and | testify in all
sincerity that they are endeavoring to
deal with their problems, not rs pro
moters Of a narrow class interest, not
rs exploiters of the hapless consumer.
not as merciless monopolists, but as
honest ment bent on the improvement
of the common veal.
We can and must meet such mel
and such a cause half way Their
business Is our buqiness-the uation's
business.
