MILLS l!l A PROFITEER RAID
-Governor Capper Appeals to Federal
Government on Behalf of the
Kansas Stockmen.
Charging that the mills are prof
iteering on mill feeds and that stock
men in Kansas are facing ruin and the
complete breaking down of their plans
to aid in increasing the beef and pork
supply of the country, Governor Cap
, jer has appealed to the Federal Food
Administration and House and Senate
committees on agriculture for help.
The governor has received hundreds
of letters from stockmen showing the
ruin that stares them in the face be
cause of the jump in mill feed prices.
The governor quoted some of the let
ters in his appeal. He said:
"The farmers and stockmen of Kan--sas
and other states are facing ruin
ous losses- and the wreck of their
plans to increase live stock produc
tion because of the huge and sweep
ing advance in the prices of mill feeds
.made by the milling industry directly
following Its release from government
control by the Food Administration
December 17.
"These prices make feeding enough
shorts to produce a pound of porq cost
much more than the pork will bring
on the market, and are quite as dam
aging to the dairy and cattlemen.
"The mill feeds for which these
great increases are now asked are the
product of the same priced wheat
from which this feed was milled at
prices from 36 to 83 per cent lower
under government control."
Kansas farmers need not worry
about the price of wheat next summer.
JT. C. Mohler, secretary of the board
of agriculture, has received numerous
inquiries about the price of wheat
next year on account of the signing
of the armistice and the probability
that peace will be concluded before
the harvest is ended. The board of
agriculture received the following
statement from the Food Administra
tion: "The President's proclamation
of September,1918. stated that the
producers of wheat produced within
the United States, for the crop of 1919,
are guaranteed the prices therein set
forth, $2.26 per bushel at Chicago, and
the end of war, the proclamation of
peace, does not in any way affect this
guarantee. The guarantee for the
1919 wheat crop expires June 1, 1920."

and operation of its street car system.
The public utilities- commission gave
the city that amount of time in which
to determine what should be done.
The owners of the Parsons stret car
line have asked for authority to junk
the property, as it does not pay to
continue the service, or the owners
will turn the line over to the city to
operate if the city desires to under
take the job.

meeting in Topeka decided to get the
teachers of the state behind the move
ment for a constitutional convention
to be called by the coming legislature.
At the meeting of the educational
council January 17 the teachers will
be urged to write or talk to their
members of the house and senate, ask
ing them to support the constitutional
proposition.
Other measures the teachers, favor
include a requirement that all elemen
tary school instruction be in English;
a county unit system of school taxes;

supervision of parochial and denomi

Vocational training experts of Kan
sas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkan
sas met at Joplin, Mo., yesterday with
vocational men from the United
States Department of Agriculture and
mapped out a plan for giving special
training to the miners of the four
states. The states propose to estab
lish night schools, where special
courses will be offered, particularly
in mine ventilation, mine gases and
the handling of explosives. Compe
tent instructors are to be provided for
coal, lead and zinc miners.
Kansas piled up nearly 25 million
dollars additional bank deposits in the
last year. The state bank department
has given out the consolidated states
ment of the 1,040 state and private
banks and "fourteen trust companies
as made at the close of business No
vember 27. It shows total deposits
of $249,787,599.09. In November a
year ago the deposits were $225,320,
799.76. The statement shows the
heavy business of the state during the
last months of the year, the loans and
discounts exceeding 192 million dol
lars, the largest the state has ever
had. The legal reserve was 26 per
cent, the lowest it has been in sev
eral years. There is a decrease of 15
million dollars in deposits from the
statement of last August, the big total
at that time being due to the sale of
the wheat and the reduction in No
vember due to large calls for cash
for winter wheat sowing . and live
stock feeding.
Henry J. Lessen, 57 years old, one
of the most widely known millers in
the Southwest, died suddenly from ap

to do so, was marched off to the pit

WILL COVER ALL THE STATES
National Amendment to the Constitu
tion Will Be Attacked and Car
ried to Highest Court.
Chicago, Jan. 8. Three hundred dis
tillers of the United States in Chicago
today pooled their property, valued at
one billion dollars and decided to fight
the dry forces In every state in the
union and before the supreme court
at every possible angle of attack.
Levy Mayer was chosen chief coun
sel and instructed to go to it and to
go the limit.
Questions that have not been raised
before In the country's history will be
put up to the supreme court.
One is the constitutionality of the
constitutional amendment article it
self. The highest court in the land
will be asked to pass on the question
is to whether thirty-six or any num
ber of states can impose a rule of per-:
sonal conduct on the other states that
ire not included in the. combine.
This attack will be based on Article'
K. of the Constitution which provides
that powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution or
prohibited to the states shall be re
served to the states respectively.
Another point to be raised Is wheth
3r the federal government can force
i state to surrender its inherent right
jo handle exclusively matters that per
tain to the personal liberty right of
the individual citizen of a state.
It is understood that Mr. Mayer was
given carte blanche to go as far as
he desired and to not spare any ex
pense as long as the billion dollars
aeld out. In other words the demon
rum forces have decided to fight out
In the open and murmurings from the
executive sessions behind closed doors
indicate that they contemplate one of
the biggest legal fights In the Na
tion's history.
The liquor barons also laid stress
on the provision of the pending dry
amendment that fixes a time limit of
aeven years in which the ratification
by the two-thirds states shall take
place. This time element they were
advised, constitutes an unconstitution- J
al limitation not contemplated by the !
amending article of the federal con- j
Btitution. Thi3 was the point raised j
by Senator Borah at the time the j
resolution was pending in Congress.
TO FEED STARVING NATIONS
President Wilson Sends Recommenda

or Huge Sum for Purpose.
Washington, Jan. 6. President Wil

based on his study of conditions in
Europe, looks to the relief of distress
of population "outside of Germany"
which are threatened with starvation.
Request for immediate appropria

food to liberated peoples of Austria,
Turkey, Poland and Western Russia,
who have no recognized governments
and are unable to finance Internation

to Congress by Secretary Glass on
cabled Instructions from the Presi

Mr. Glass went personally to the
Capitol for a long conference with
Democratic leaders of the House, and
legislation to carry out the President's
recommendations will be Introduced
by them after conferring with Repub

The President's message said that
food shipments worth 1 billion dol
lars must be made from the United
States to Europe in the next seven
months.
RELEASE FAMILY MEN FIRST
Soldiers Having Dependents Will Bt
Given Preference in Making Dis

Washington, Jan. 7. Commanders
of combat divisions in the United
States were authorized today to dis
charge first from their forces those
men whose allotment papers show
they have dependents, and second,
such men as would be affected ad
versely in obtaining civil employment
as a result of being held further in
service.
It was learned that the instructions
regarding demobilization of combat
divisions already affect a large pro
portion of these units, in one instance
the commander having been Instruct

under his command.
