Records produced before the board
showed that of 1915 corporations sus-
pended by the state, the Dewey case
is the first in which an effort has
been made to enforce the clause pro-
v1ding for fine. Judge Smith also
edvised the board members that Dew
ey was serving as a volunteer in
France during the time his company
failed to make a report. He also de-
clared that the large tract of land
owned by the Dewey company in
Geary county had been offered to the
government without cost for use dur
ing the period of the war.
First Case of Its Kind.
The case is the first of its character
ever brought before the state board
The fact that Attorney General Hop
kins is seeking to enforce the penalty
clause against a company whose head
was in the fighting service of his
country at the time of DELINQUENCY,
gave the situation added color and
interest. Judge Smith told the board
that within ten days from the declara-
uon or war Dewey volunteered as
private altho he was beyond the draft
age. He went to France in April,
1917 as a private and came home in
August, 1919, with rank of major He
was IN the Argonne and other vital
fighting sectors.
We are going to vote in Kansas
next 1all on a proposition to give our
service men twenty-five million dol
Jars as bonus" Judge Smith told the
board members. Yet the attorney
general brings this proceeding to pen
alize a. man who was fighting for his
country in France and turned his BUSH
ness over to a bunch of cowboys and
folks unfamiliar with business details
while he was at the front"
Several days ago Judge Smith ap-
peared before the supreme court to
resist move by the attorney general
to force a receivership. At that time
ne declared Hopkins was using the
authority and power of his office to
Berry feud.
1876 Corporations Suspended.
Records produced before the state
BOARD today showed 1876 corporations
have been suspended since the cor
porauon tax law became effective in
Kansas in 1914. In the first two years
of Hopkins administration as attor-
ney general a total of 772 suspensions
have been ordered. The Dewey case
is the first and only corporation in
which move has been made to en-
force the penalty clause. Judge Smith
today produced letter written by L.
J. Pettjohn, secretary of state, and
written to Dewey under date of June
: in reply TO a letter of May 80. In
the letter Pettjohn said in part:
I'm regard to whether there have
been any fines or penalties collected
from corporations which were for
feited, will state that as far as I
know this office has never received
any penalties from such cause and
as far as I know there have never
been any fines or penalties attached
for foreign corporations falling to
file reports in this Office
The Dewey company is an Illinois
corporation.

High temperatures will continue in

"A WISE DECISION

hEClSlON Of the University regents to re
sumo the summer session seems To- be- wise
- from every standpoint. The summer term
was inaugurated just before the United States
entered the war. War conditions forced its
abandonment before the plan had been given u
fair trial, or any kind Of trial at all sufficient
10 demonstrate the demand for the service.
Il seems perfectly obvious. however, that
such a public Investment as is represented in
thc University plant should not lie idle during
a fourth OF each year. and it is equally obvious
that there is need for the service which the
University ean perform during the three
months Of the summer. president Tin has
ass-sahlcd at the State University the strongest
fdculty the institution has ever had and the
result is showing in a marked improvement in
the character Of the work being done. The
whole plant and organization has been vastly
improved and advanced and is ia a position
n, do efficient work in All il departments.
The summer term viii Furnish an oppor-
unity To many who cannot take advantage Of
Che University facilities at other seasons. II
should be particularly attractive 10 those
teachers who want to have the advantages of
thorough college training.
