ABOUT TEACHER'S SALARIES.
itx ........ i ., ; (
Vrot. Tyler Urges Better Wages Not
- lower in Comity.
' Editor Eeflector: I notice that In
a circular letter to the school boards
' of this county, (he county superln
' tend "Insists" that the Wage of in
experienced teachera are .too high
.(using capital letters) and suggests
v the following schedule- $60 for
teachers who come highly;, recom
: mended from the county superintend
ent "and " school ' board of previous
year; J60 for teachers 'without psr
: -ticular "faults,"; 135 and factor
beginners, except persons of "very
unusual Qualities." To the credit
of the county, be It said that Jm
' year there were no $35 salaries and
only three $40 ones. This revision of
salaries' downward Idea comes at the
tlma of the graduation of the first
class in the Normal training course
.of the high schools of the f. state,
which State Superintendent ; Fair
Cihld regards as the biggest step in
bis administration toward furnishing
the rural schools with better trained
: teachers. According to this, the
people who have taken a four year
high school course with special twitt
ing for teaching the subjects in the
country school curriculum, and have
passed the state examination in such
courses, are confronted with the
proposition of "working" for; less
wages than the people heretofore
have received whose preparation con;
. slsted of four weeks institute work.
This Is certainly a great encourage-
: fn a ennntrv' teacher to get an
r education! " Unless " Superintendent,
, A,.mui., inrlrla the graduates of I
thla course in the list of those with
"very unusual qualities" ' they, to-
aether with a good many other capa-
' Wfj and desirable young : teachers;
must come in the $35.and $4.0 claw
This slap at Normal training in the
blKh schools can haTdly be jusuneo
. m j. 1
hv .fiinerlence. for this Is the first
class to graduate from this course.
And It It ! inappropriate in general
u ' ninllarlr - tnannrourlate here
H s peculiarly tuni'v'uF"'."' " - -i i
for while the percentage of failures
over the state as a whole in the state
examination was within, fraotlon of
20 per cent, in the local high school
It was less than 8 per cent; the ex
perienced' and successful teachers
over the country should certainly re
ceive at least as high aalariea as in
the past and be made to feel that
their success is worth dollars and
eenta to the dlstrlct;"but unless the
idea Is to drive the pick of the new
' teachera to other counties to staytp
discourage special training for. rural
teaching, and to rank the ' county
with the backward onea In. educa
tional affairs, the doctrine of lower
salaries seems to me a very doubtful
one. . It Is to be hoped that the
boards of the county -will consult
tbelr sense of fairness before they
' adopt the $35 schedule."

liieaas on tiie Anti Dlscriminatr
Insurance Law,
By John KoSonell is High Bohool
." ... Contest. '
: The new antl discrimination fire
Insurance measure which was passed
br the state legislature during the
session of 190y, and which provtdss
for the legu'atlon and control or ni
atcs ct riimlum and the supposedly
preventing of discrimination has
caused many persons to differ in op
inion as to whether It Is a beneficial
and Juet law. . ' "
The principal clauses of the -ure
are as follows: Section 3, "W&n
the superintendent of Insurance shall
determine that any rate made by an
insurance! company In this state Is
excessive or unreasonably high, or
that said rate la not adequate to tne
safety or soundness of the company
granting the same, he la authorized
to direct said company to publish and
file a higher or lower rate, whicn
shall be commensurate . with the
'character of the risk, but in every
case the rate shall be reaeonable.
Rwtinn T. "That no fire Insur
ance company shall directly or In
directly by any special tarlfr, rebate,
drawback or other device, charge, de
mand, collect or receive from any.
person or persons a greater or less
Isurance of our property located In
this state than It charges, jOemanas,'
collects or receives fromany other
person or persons for llke tasurance
or risks of like kmd and hazard un
der similar circumstances and con
ditions in the state; and any fire In
surance company violating any oi tns
provisions, of this law shall be deem
ed guilty of unjust discrimination,
Which is hereby declared to be un-
, One of the principal . arguments.
which those in favor or tne law au-
vannfl Is that It effects everybody
both large and small businesses, rich
and poor individuals alike and that
IB this WSV It glVBS the POOf i the
same righto and advantages as it
does the rich. That Is, a man eon-
trolling say iiuu.uuu oi muru

premium as he who has but 1200. on

to be a good one and one that In
itself would make, the law of some
valu? and consideration oui u..-
In more closely. It Will be found that
a
although there ia no favor shown the
different persons insured u
to favor the insurers themselves and
give them a still greater opportunity
The law provides, or putting It
more plainly, it permits the differ
ent companies- to get together' and
agree upon rates agreeable and hence
beneficial to themselves (for it must
be admitted that no company is go
ing to sacrifice Its own Interest for
that of the people.) These rates are
placed In the hands of C. F. Eldridge,
a private individual of Topeka, who
compiles and furnishes the schedules
to the companies throughout the
state.-'" "- .-"" . ,
Having decided upon and drawn
up these rates It mskes It Impossible
for any company to transact busi
ness at "any other rates either lower
6? higher than those complied. ; It
can be easily teen -that this system
causes a dangerous and uncontroll
able combination and thereby does
. ..mnet.,,on .nfl by ellm
hetween tbe different com-
.. , th, ,MXsnnce 0f
i Kansas In the hands and under tbe
. ..j ...
control of the few. " ' v : '
Before this new law wag passed if
Insurance companies did get togeth
er and agree upon rates the courts
declared It a combination and conse
quently they were punished.. Now If
It was against the public good for
then to combine without this meas
ure to back them, it assuredly Is still
the evirthat H has been, only the
measure is there to protect them and
mnaeouentlr It passes as a benefit
)At tbe present time the federal gov
ernment is doing all In 1U power to
break np such combinations as tbe
Standard Oil company. Now - thla
large corporation does Its business In
practically the same way as the In
surance companies of Kansas. The
federal government knows that this
system Is working from Instead of
toward the Interests of the people
and they can see the ' evils which
eventually result from It if such a
system Is permitted to continue. Tbe
Standard Oil company waa brought
to trial oa this same charge aad tbe
rullny or 829,000,000 against them
plainly shows how the well thinking
oeonle retard such conditions. Tbe
express companies, railroads, sugar
trusts, beef trusts etc., etc., ire op
erated along this same lllne and
suits are now pending against a num
ber of these trusts on comblnatioa
charges. If the government of the

excuse why the " gta'tg' of T Kansas'
should sanction the very tning wmcn
they are striving so ardently: to. do
away witht . ;...- '
Another strong ' point, against the
measure. Is' that on the surface it
gives the state commissioner of In
surance control over the rates. But
thla la not exactly true, for before he
can raise or lower a rate he must
give the company at ' least thirty
days' notice of bis intentions and at
that the company has tbe privilege of
presenting and arguing their side.
Should they convince bim that their
rate la right, he will permit them to
hold It, In which case .the commis
sioner has taken the privilege rom
the people, of deciding what the
rates should be and hence It can be
seen that this la favoring helew
and leading toward class legislation,
which all will admit is a very 'danger
ous condition. '.
"Those In favor of the measure ad
vance the argument that the total
Insurance rates Is less under the new
law than previously. r .A close ana
lvSla will show that although this
may be true on the aggregate It ia
also a fact that some towns are now
comnelled to pay higher rates than
prevlonsly, which goes to prove that,
the insurance companies are collects
Ing at least aa much In premiums as
they did before the law existed.
Heretofore tbe companies had to bid
for insurance nollcles and In so doing
the); offered special Inducements.but
tbe new law pronioua any lowenm
of the1 rate wiiatever, and conse
quently the insurers gain just that
much on their rates for the Insurance
drawn up will be as great regardless
of the rate charged. Nowr ,
After the schedule has been onca
fixed the Insurers are unable to
change It even though they so de
sired as Is evidenced in Section 10
of the law which reads as follows:
That " anv fire Insurance company
or any director" or officer thereof, or
any agent or person acting for or em
ployed by such company, who alone
or with any other corporation, com
pany, or person, shall wilfully do or
cause to be done, or shall wilfully
suffer or permit to be done any act,
matter or thine ddSe in thla act pro
hibited or declared to be unlawful, or
who shall wilfully omit or fall to do
any act, matter or thing in thla act
rennlred to be done, or ahall cause
or wilfully auffer or permit any act,
matter or thing so directed by tbl
act to be done, not to be done or
ahall be guilty of any Infraction, of
this act, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and ahall npon con
viction thereof he punished by a fine
not to exceed flOO for each offense;
provided, that if the offense for
which any person shall be convicted,
as aforesaid shall be an nnlawful
discrimination, auch person shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding
$100, for each offense; provided,
that if the offense for which any of
fense any person shall be convicted,
aa aforesaid ahall be aa nnlawful dis
crimination, such person shsll be
fwenlshefl by a fine not to exceed
$100, or by Imprisonment in tns
county Jail for a term not exceeding
ninety days, or by both such fins snd
imprisonment" - , . - ' .
There are many other arguments
which mlaht be advanced showing
the Inconsistency of tbe measure and
providing It to be mlschevious In
terference with private right or eon
anof don't eome' aad see'TS ens will Both
tract but the following brief sum
mary of Its fallings seems to me a
sufficient proof Of its " unjust ' dis
crimination agalnat the people!
That, the measure tenda to do
awav with competition and in doing
away with competition it establishes
combinations.
That it allows companies to make
their own rate which naturally
would be drawn to their own advan-.
tage. ''.''.: r
That, that which is practically the
same as the large combinations In
other states and. which Is continually
being met with foreign opposition, Is
licensed In tbe state of Kansas by
law. ' v
That It practically stands for class
legislation. In that It permits the
companies and the commissioner. In
place of the people, and the compa
nies to decide on the rates of insur
ance charged. .
. That It enables the Insurance com
pany to collect the same amount of
premium as heretofore without bav
ins: to comnete as do other business
es ,w" ! beneficial to the Insurer
only, and not to the people. "

WILL STAB CUP TOURISTS
STAT ALL NIGHT HERE.
Pathfinder Drivers Think That Will
x .;'.-. " Be tlio Order.
The Pathfinder car of the Kansas
CltyJJtar endurance run reached
Abilene at 8 o'clock Wednesday, ,
with M. 0. "Nolan at the wheel, W."
O. Whltcomb, pathfinder and George
T. Blndbeutel, a representative oi
the Star. . "We do not decide the
night stops," said Mr. Nolan. "That
la done by the automobile club but
it Is probable that Abilene will be
the last night stop." V.'
The Star representative put it this
way; "If we stop at Hays, oniy m
miles away, It Is likely that we shall
nuah on to Junction City for the
night stop, much as we should Ilka
to make Abilene a visit." .
The Pathfinder la a big six-cylin
der Stevens Duyrea and it had 1924
miles checked off In the past two
week's run when It reached Abilene.
On Us totett pole It had thirty pen
nants 'presented by the towns pass
ed. The Abilene pennant was add
ed to the collection. C. M. Harger
and T. V. Prendergast met the car
at Ballna .and the former acted as
pilot to the east side of Abilene.
The route enters Abilene on South
Second to Washington, North to
Third, east to Broadway, south, to'
Park, where cars will be placed un
der guard for night, east on Second,
north on Buckeye, east on, Four
teenth street. ..'"" ' . . .
The road to Ballna is in fine con
dition and the car made swift time.
All the unbroken stretches were run
at 40 to 45 mtlea aa hour and sev
eral miles at 48 miles an hour, which
Is too fast for comfort. "
The run will be In August, leav
Ing Kansas City Monday morning
and will go up the Santa Fe trail
through Emporia, Newton, Garden
City, Pueblo, reaching Colorado
fiorinas Friday noon, Saturday aft
ernoon and Sunday will be spent at
Denver, Monday night at Sharon
Borings. Tuesday - night at Hays,
Wednesday night at Abilene, Thurs
day night home. Ballna and Junc
