ROTTEN POLICE
fAvORITISM

Mr. Kalisch, who boosted that the
as long as he feels like parking
on Washington street between La
Sale and Washington streets, is not
alone, as the following letter to The
Tribune shows:
WHY NOT ENFORCE PARKING
REGULATIONS?
Chicago, Oct 25.-On page of to-
days issue of The Chicago Tribune
notice a picture showing conditions
under which autoists violate the city
ordinance against parking cars under
fire escapes. AS indicating other in
stances in which loop policemen will
fully permit violation of traffic regu-
lations and in many cases doubtless
cater to Clients | submit the fol-
lowing:
(a) Recently l requested permission
of a policeman to park my car on
Washington at 9:15 a. m. in order to
make a twenty minute visit in a near
by building; he said a car may not be
parked before 10 o'clock. At that very
moment there were two or three cars
parked within fifty feet of me.
(b) On another occasion I re-
quested traffic policeman near the Ma.
sonic temple to permit me to park
my car at 6:15 p. m; he said he
| could not permit it, although at that
time ten or twelve cars were in the
alley back of the temple and many
! of them had been there all day. A
few cars were parked in the street.

| Peter Bartzen is going to be elected
State Treasurer. He has been
through most of the down state coun-
ties and reports are that he is going
to cut down the normal Republican
majority to such small figure that
the huge vote he will get in Cook
County will elect him State Treasurer.
Friends gave banquet for Mr.. Bart

| Downtown congestion in Chicago is
the worst jam in the world.
One-way street traffic and rerouting
of surface cars is proposed as solu-
ton of the problem of traffic conges-
ton in the loop by Alderman
Schwartz.
No wonder the railway mail service
is deteriorating. When practicing
lawyers are running out of Chicago

Wish to offer the following in eXplana-
ton of the claim appearing in the
The State Journal of July 10th that

The facts are that Mr.. Norton has
not been a foreman in our shops since
March 18th, 1921. on which date he
fully understands, and he has been
working IS a mechanic since that
time.
There is no justification in giving
out incorrect information of this kind
unless it is purposely intended to mis-
lead the public, as most of all the
shop employees are familiar with the
reasons causing the removal of Mr..
Norton from his position as foreman.
Our foremen have all continued on
their jobs and all feel that they are
fully within their legal and moral
rights in so doing and are fulfilling
their whole duty to the public as indi-
Gated by the resolution of the United
States railroad labor board. adopted
July 3, directing
that the men who remain
in the services and those who enter
IL anew are within their rights 4.
to engage in such service of the Amer
lean public to avoid interruption of in
dispensable railway transporta-
And in view of that resolution 1 feel
it my duty in every way to vindicate
the position Of these foremen by pub
licly denying the correctness of the
insinuation that our foremen are
waverinE in their duty to the public
and Joining the ranks of the strikers.

MANY RAINS REPORTED
Was Wet Week in Kansas,
Weather Bureau Says-Corn Is
FTourishing-Prec De-
LAYS Harvest and Threshing.
Rr B. R. Laskowski. Meteorologist.

Heavy rains of from one to five
inches occurred over the northeast
quarter and the central counties and
light showers elsewhere in the state
during the past week as reported
from over 100 correspondents of the
weather bureau who cover all parts
of Kansas. The temperature was
slightly below normal with no ex-
tremely high or low readings The
sunshine averaged 20 per cent.
Corn continued its rapid growth
due to plenty of sunshine and mos
ture. Many counties in the eastern
half report it tasselling and as oelng
laid by. In the southeast quarter the
corn is in the roasting ear stage. In
the western half it is averaging about
three feet in height.
The harvesting of wheat is gem
orally finished in the eastern half
and about half done in the western.
Harvesting and threshing were some
what delayed by the wet weather.
Severe hail storms were reported as
having done considerable damage to
counties on July 6. The high
winds of July and July damaged
standing grain and also grain in the
shock and stack over the western half
of the state. The extent of damage
could not be aScertained at this writ
ing altho several reports indicate it
as heavy.
The second crops of alfalfa. barley
and oats were being cut the past week.
The barley and oats are rated as poor
to fair except in a number of western
counties where it is reported as good.
Potato digging is in progress. Po-
tatoes are reported as in good shape
in the southern counties but the gen.
eral consensus of opinion for the po-
tatoes in the northern part. especially
in the Kaw valley, is that they are
only making poor to far crops.
Tree fruits promise good crops this
year. Sorghums and pastures keep
on improving due to plenty o6 mois-
ture the past two weeks.
