The  Devehpment  of  Kansas. 

By  Jaubs  L.  King. 

The  word  Kansas,  as  applied  to  the  state,  was  derived  from 
a  tribe  of  Indians  bearing  that  name.  In  its  original  fonn 
the  word  appeared  as  Akanaea,  subsequently  changing  to 
Konza,  Canzas,  Okanis,  Kansa,  Kana,  Kanza,  Cansez  and  Kan- 
8US.  The  name  has  been  used  by  aborigines,  explorers  and 
writers  in  twenty-four  diflferent  styles,  running  from  Escan- 
saques  to  Kaw.  One  authority  contends  that  the  name  comes 
from  the  Spanish  word  "cansar,"  which  means  to  stir,  to 
trouble,  to  disturb.  This  is  not  out  of  harmony  with  ttie  Indian 
signiflcance  of  the  word  Kansas,  which  is  "swift  wind,"  or 
"smoky  wind,"  the  latter  being  associated  with  an  early  period  . 
when  prairie  fires  raged  over  the  southern  deserts. 

The  United  States  Bureau  of  Ethnology  says  that  Kansas  is 
a  Sioux  word  which  has  been  used  as  a  tribal  name,  as  the 
name  of  a  clan  or  family,  or  of  several  families  of  a  common 
stock,  sometimes  referred  to  as  South  Wind  people.  The  word 
also  apt>ears  in  personal  names,  meaning  Eagle  or  War  Eagle. 

Kansas  is  popularly  known  as  "the  Sunflower  state,"  on 
account  of  its  abundant  production  of  the  genus  Helianthus. 
Its  nickname  is  "the  Jayhawker  state,"  the  appellation  being 
drived  from  the  jayhawk,  a  marauding  bird  of  Ireland.  The 
notorious  and  rapacious  bird  is  perpetuated  in  the  college  yell 
of  the  University  of  Kansas,  "Rock-chalk- j  ay-hawk- K-U."  The 
abbreviation  for  Kansas  is  Kan.  In  the  pronunciation  of 
Kansas  t^e  accent  is  on  the  first  syllable,  the  second  syllable 
to  be  given  a  soft  rather  than  a  hissing  sound. 

Exclusive  of  Alaska  and  the  island  possessions  acquired  in 
1898,  Kansas  is  the  geographical  center  of  the  United  States, 
being  situated  in  latitude  37  degrees  to  40  degrees  north, 
longitude  94  degrees  40  minutes  to  102  degrees  west;  bounded 
on  the  north  by  Nebraska,  on  the  northeast  and  east  by  Mis- 
souri, on  the  south  by  Oklahoma,  and  on  the  west  by  Colorado. 

As  early  as  1541  Francisco  de  Coronado,  commanding  a 
Spanish  expedition,  marched  across  the  plains  which  are  now 
a  part  of  this  state.  The  report  of  hia  travels  contains  the 
first  mention  made  by  a  European  of  the  American  buffalo. 
French  fur  traders  from  Louisiana  and  Canada  were  in  Kan- 
sas early  in  1700.  In  1719  Du  Tissenet,  a  French  explorer, 
visited  the  valley  of  the  Missouri,  and'  he  was  followed  by 
Spaniards  from  Santa  F6,  who  came  to  the  present  site  of 
^veuworth,  where  they  were  destroyed  in  a  battle  with 
Indians,  and  that  was  the  last  attempt  of  the  Spanish  to  oc-

cupy.any  part  of  the  present  state.  The  Lewis  and  Clark 
expedition,  planned  by  President  Jefferson,  reached  Kansas 
in  June,  1804,  and,  two  years  later,  in  1806,  the  expedition 
commanded  by  Zebulon  Mont£:omery  Pike,  who  rave  his  name 
to  "Pike's  Peak,"  crossed  the  tejritory  from  the  Missouri  river 
to  tile  Rocky  Mountains.  The  expedition  of  Major  Stephen  H. 
Iiong  was  made  in  1819,  and  in  1824  was  established  the 
"Santa  F6  Trail,"  extending  400  miles  directly  across  the 
territory,  and  from  Independence,  Mo.,  to  Santa  F£,  N.  Mex., 
a  total  distance  of  780  miles.  Col.  John  C.  Fremont  made 
his  firat  expedition  across  the  plains  in  1842,  blazing  the  way 
for  a  heavy  overland  travel  to  Oregon,  California  and  Mexico. 

The  overland  trade  on  the  Santa  F^  Trail  began  in  1827. 
A  fort  erected  on  the  Missouri  river  to  protect  this  trade 
in  that  year  was  named  for  Colonel  Leavenworth,  of  the  Sec- 
ond United  States  infantry.  This  became  an  important  point 
during  the  Mexican  War  and  the  California  and  Mormon 
migrations. 

The  territory  forming  the  present  state  of  Kansas  was  a 
part  of  the  Louisiana  purchase  of  1803,  except  a  fraction  in 
the  southwest  comer  acquired  from  Texas  in  1850.  Following 
the  several  expeditions  referred  to,  and  the  opening  of  the 
Santa  Fe  trail,  Kansas  became  Indian  territory,  and  remained 
such  from  1830  to  1854.  The  Indians  of  Missouri  and  other 
Mississippi  valley  states  were  concentrated  with  the  tribes 
already  occupying  the  country  west  of  the  Missouri  river. 
These  included  the  Osage,  Shawnee,  Pawnee,  Delaware,  Kick- 
apoo  and  Kansas  tribes,  to  which  were  added  the  Cherokee  and 
other  tribes  from  the  states  of  the  South,  and  the  Ottawas, 
Pottawatoinies,  Wyandottes  and  others  from  Ohio,  Michigan 
and  Indiana. 

The  admission  of  Kansas  as  an  organized  territory  dates 
from  May  30, 1854,  when  President  Pierce  signed  the  "Kansas- 
Nebraska  Act."  This  brought  on  what  may  be  termed  the 
political  troubles  of  Kansas,  and  later,  as  a  result  of  the 
slavery  agitation,  precipitated  the  great  armed  conflict  be- 
tween the  North  and  the  South  in  1861-'65.  Kansas  was 
admitted  as  a  state  January  29,  1861,  under  the  administration 
of  James  Buchanan.  Although  President  Buchanan  signed 
the  act  of  admission,  Kansas  was  in  reality  Abraham  Lincoln's 
state.  The  principle  events  preliminary  to  admission  were  as 
follows;  Convention  met  at  Topeka  September  19,  1855,  to 
consider  the  formation  of  a  state  government ;  convention  ad- 
journed and  met  at  the  same  place  October  23,  1855 ;  constitu- 
tion formed  by  Topeka  convention  November  12,  1855 ;  Topeka 
constitution  adopted  by  the  peo[de  December  15,  1855;  con- 
vention met  at  Lecompton  September  5,  1857;  constitution 
formed  by  the  Lecompton  convention  November  7,  1857;  bill 
passed  Congress  to  admit  conditionally,  under  the  Lecompton

doMe  constitution  January  29,  1861. 

It  was  on  Kansas  soil  that  the  first  battle  was  fought  for  the 
freedom  of  the  negro,  and  it  was  Kansas  that  developed  the 
beroic  figure  of  John  Brown.  From  the  time  Congress  took 
tbe  first  step  for  the  admission  of  Kansas,  with  or  without 
slavery,  the  territory  became  the  scene  of  contention,  pillage 
and  bloodshed.  The  proslavery  men  of  Missouri  endeavored 
to  gain  control  of  the  territory  in  1854,  and  established  the 
first  city,  Leavenworth.  Soon  afterward  an  antislavery  colony 
from  Massachusetts  settled  at  Lawrence.  No  more  hostile 
factions  ever  contended  for  supremacy  on  this  continent. 

Andrew  H.  Reeder,  of  Pennsylvania,  was  appointed  to  be 
the  first  governor  of  the  territory.  At  the  first  contest  for 
territorial  delegate  to  Congreas  the  slavery  men  at  Missouri 
cnnsed  the  river  and  participated  in  the  election,  the  candi- 
date of  tbe  proslavery  party  being  successful  by  reason  of 
these  illegal  votes.  The  Free-soilers  protested,  and  held  indig- 
nation meetings  at  lAwrence  and  other  points.  The  Mis- 
aourians  repeated  the  same  tactics  at  the  election  in  the  spring 
of  1856  for  representatives  to  the  legislature.  When  the  legis- 
lature met  at  Pawnee  the  proslavery  members  were  in  the 
majority,  and  controlled  the  proceedings,  even  to  the  extent 
of  driving  out  the  Free-soil  members  and  changing  the  seat 
of  government. 

The  Free-soil  party  repudiated  the  acts  of  the  legislature  and 
refused  to  abide  by  them.  Governor  Reeder  was  removed  from 
office,  his  successor  being  Wilson  Shannon,  of  Ohio.  John  W. 
Whit^eld  was  elected  to  Congress  by  the  proslavery  party,  and 
Es-Governor  Reeder  chosen  to  the  same  position  by  the  opposi- 
ti<Hi,  but  Congress  refused  to  give  either  delegate  a  seat. 
Under  the  Free-soil  constitution  adopted  in  December,  1855, 
Charles  Robinson  was  elected  governor,  but  the  election  was 
repudiated  by  President  Pierce,  who  had  recognized  the 
"bogus"  legirfature.  The  Free-soilers  ignored  the  action  of 
President  Pierce,  and,  to  meet  this  and  other  menacing  cir- 
cumstances, the  military  forces  of  the  United  States  govern- 
ment were  placed  in  command  of  Governor  Shannon.  Gover- 
nor Robinson  and  Congressman-elect  Reeder  were  indicted  for 
high  treason.  The  proslavery  party  received  large  accessions 
from  Alabama,  Georgia  and  South  Carolina.  In  the  troubles 
resulting  from  this  conflict  of  authority  the  Emigrant  Aid 
Society  hotel  and  the  Herald  of  Freedom,  and  Kansas  Free 
State  printing  ofBces  at  I^wrence  were  destroyed,  and  the 
town  of  Oaawatomie — ^the  home  of  John  Brown — was  sacked 
and  burned.

A  meeting  of  the  Free-soil  legislature  in  Topeka  was  dis- 
persed by  United  States  troops  acting  under  orders  from  Pres- 
ident Pierce.  By  this  time  the  inter^  in  the  Kansas  struggle 
became  general  throughout  the  country.  The  suppression  of 
slavery  became  a  national  instead  of  a  state  issue.  While 
Congress  debated  and  legislated,  the  proslavery  and  free-state 
factions  continued  to  war  against  each  other  for  possession  of 
the  territory  and  control  of  the  lawmaking  machinery.  Public 
meetings  were  held  in  all  parts  of  the  North  to  lend  en- 
couragement to  the  movement  for  making  Kansas  a  free  state. 
Similar  sympathy  and  help  came  to  the  proslavery  party  from 
the  states  of  the  South.  Horace  Greeley  and  Abraham  Lincoln 
visited  the  territory  and  made  speeches  in  opposition  to  the 
further  extension  of  slavery  on  American  soil.  Governor 
Shannon  was  removed  from  office,  and  the  several  governors 
appointed  to  succeed  him  found  the  duties  of  the  position  so 
■onerous  that  they  resigned  in  rapid  succession. 

The  Wyandotte  constitutional  convention  of  July  5,  1859, 
was  composed  of  35  free-state  and  17  proslavery  delegates, 
but  they  were  by  this  time  known  as  Republicans  and  Demo- 
crats, respectively.  Under  this  constitution  slavery  was  pro- 
hibited and  Kansas  admitted  as  a  state.  The  seat  of  govern- 
ment was  located  at  Topeka.  At  the  election  held  in  Decem- 
.  ber,  1859,  Charles  Robinson  was  chosen  to  be  the  first  gover- 
nor of  the  state,  and  Martin  F.  Conway  the  first  representative 
in  Congress.  When  the  first  state  legislature  assembled  at 
Topeka,  in  March,  1861,  James  H.  Lane  and  Samuel  C.  Pom- 
eroy  were  elected  the  first  two  United  States  senators  from  the 
new  state. 

In  the  civil  war  which  followed  the  inauguration  of  Presi- 
dent Lincoln  in  1861,  Kansas  showed  its  loyalty  to  the  Union 
by  furnishing  20,000  trained  soldiers  out  of  a  total  population 
of  but  little  more  than  100,000 — a  number  greatly  in  excess  of 
the  quota,  none  of  them  drafted,  and  in  proportion  exceeding 
the  enlistments  from  any  other  state.  A  large  part  of  this  force 
was  employed  in  defending  the  borders  of  the  state  from  in- 
vasion by  southern  troops,  Indians  and  guerillas.  During  one 
of  these  border  raids  a  force  of  400  men  under  command  of 
Quantrell  invaded  Lawrence,  burning  and  pillaging  the  town 
and  killing  150  defenseless  citizens.  The  war  and  the  troubles 
with  the  Indians,  together  with  a  disastrous  drouth,  greatly 
retarded  the  growth  of  Kansas,  but  when  these  obstacles  were 
passed  an  era  of  progress  and  development  set  in  which  has 
never  since  abated. 

The  local  census  of  1855  gave  Kansas  a  population  of  8501 ; 
this  increased  in  1860  to  107,206;  in  1870  to  364,399;  in  1880 
to  396,096;  in  1890  to  1,427,096;  in  1900  to  1,470,495;  and  in 
1910  to  1,690,949.  There  are  130  cities  in  Kansas  having  a 
population  of  more  than  IQOO  each.    The  ten  largest  cities  and

Agriculture  and  stock  raising  have  been  the  basis  of  the 
state's  development.  The  total  farm  products  in  1912,  in- 
cluding horticultural  and  garden  products,  amounted  to  $324,- 
988,943  in  value.  The  value  of  live  stock  for  the  same  year 
was  $255,166,533.  Combined  value  of  farm  and  live-stock 
products,  $680,156,476 — the  largest  in  the  state's  history.  The 
land  area  of  Kansas  comprises  82,080  square  miles,  or 
62,631,200  acres.  Nearly  50  per  cent  of  this  land  is  in  a  high 
state  of  cultivation.  The  cultivated  farms  have  an  aggregate 
vahie  of  $650,000,000. 

There  are  3435  manufacturing  establishments  in  Kansas, 
representing  all  the  industries,  and  giving  employment  tc^ 
44,215  wage  earners.  Value  of  manufactured  products,  $326,- 
104,000.  The  mineral  products  of  the  state  in  1910  were  valued 
at  $28,304,191.  Of  this  amount  the  coal  produced  was  valued 
at  $7,914,709;  natural  gaa,  $7,755,367;  zinc,  $1,103,760;  clay 
products,  $2,261,627;  salt  $947,369;  petroleum,  $44,763. 
Other  mineral  products  of  the  state  include  cement,  lead,  sand, 
gravel  and  stone. 

Kansas  spends  more  than  $5,000,000  annually  in  the  support 
of  public  schools.  The  total  population  of  school  age  in  1910 
was  516,061,  and  the  total  enrollment  was  398,746.  The 
average  attendance  was  291,329.  The  state  has  9300  piiblic 
school  buildings  and  employs  13,467  teachers. 

The  total  mileage  of  railway  tracks  operated  in  Kansas  is 
9216.  The  principal  lines  and  systems  are :  Atchison,  Topeka 
&  Santa  Pe;  Chicago,  Rock  Island  &  Pacific;  Union  Pacific; 
Missouri  Pacific;  Missouri,  Kansas  &  Texas;  Saint  Louis  & 
San  Francisco,  The  gross  earnings  of  all  Kansas  railroads 
for  1911  amounted  to  $67,926,984.61.  At  the  beginning  of  the 
Civil  War  there  was  not  a  mile  of  railroad  in  operation  in 
Kansas.  The  first  piece  of  railroad  constructed  on  Kansas 
soil  was  at  Elwood,  opposite  St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  on  the  Elwood 
&  Marysville  line.  The  first  trans-state  railway  was  begun  at 
Wyandotte,  in  1863,  by  the  Kansas  Pacific  line.  This  was 
rapidly  constructed  through  to  Denver,  a  distance  of  639 
miles,  and  has  since  been  operated  by  the  Union  Pacific  sys- 
ton  as  one  of  the  great  thoroughfares  of  the  continent. 

There  are  902  state  and  private  banks  in  Kansas,  with  a 
total  paid  capital  of  $18,062,800,  and  deposits  of  $106,049,142.

Two  of  the  largest  libraries  in  the  West  aie  the  State  Li-

at  T(4>dca.  The  State  Library  conteins  125,244  volumes  in 
ttie  law,  medical,  miscellaneous,  legislative  referaice,.and  trav- 
^ing  library  departments.  The  State  Historical  Library  con- 
tains  82,018  volumes  of  books  «id  bound  volumes'  of  news- 
papers, 136,743  pamphlets,  and  a  vast  collection  of  rtiics  and 
other  material  pertaining'  to  Kansas  history. 

In  recognition  of  the  services  d  the  Kansas  soldiers  in  the 
early  period  of  the  stete's  history,  and  also  of  ihe  services 
of  the  many  soldiers  from  o^er  stetes  who  became  citizens 
of  Kansas  at  the  close  of  the  war,  the  state  has  recently 
erected  a  beautiful  memorial  hall  and  library  building  at 
T(M}ekar  at  a  cost  of  f300,000,  to  be  occupied  jointly  by  the 
(iEMld  Army  of  the  Republic,  department  of  Kansas,  and  the 
Staite  Historical  Sociefy.  This  stately  edifice,  with  ito  memora- 
biliff  of  peace  and  war  and  its  store  of  recorded  ashievement, 
will,  not  only  dp  lasting  honor  to  the  heroes  and  builders  of 
Kansas  but  serve  to  link  the  old  and  the  new  Kansas.

The  State  FUmer, 


By  the  act  of  the  legislature  of  1903  (chapter  479)  the 
helianthus,  or  native  wild  sunflower,  was  adopted  as  thestate 
flower  and  floral  emblem  of  the  state  of  Kansas. 

The  appropriateness  of  the  selection  of  the  sunflower  as  the 
floral  emblem  of  our  state  was  very  eloquently  set  forth  by 
Senator  George  P.  Morehouse,  author  of  the  law,  at  a  banquet 
given  at  the  state  encampment  of  the  National  Guard  at  Fort 
Riley,  in  October  following  the  passage  of  the  act,  in  the  fol- 
lowing words : 

"This  native  wild  flower  is  common  throughout  our 
borders,  and  is  always  hardy  and  conspicuous.  It  lifta 
ita  head  in  triumph  along  our  moat  beautiful  and  classic 
valleys  and  mingles  ita  cheerful  light  with  the  verdure 
at  expanding  prairie?.  The  seasons  have  little  effect  on 
its  coming,  for  it  flourishes  in  time  of  flood  and  the 
drought  of  arid  summer  adds  to  the  multitude  of  ita 
blossoms.  It  is  of  definite,  unvarying  and  striking 
shape,  ever  faithful,  whether  gracing  the  beautiful  gar- 
dens of  the  rich  or  lingering  near  the  humble  habita- 
tion of  the  poor.  Wherever  reproduced,  whether  in 
color  or  canvas,  worked  in  iron  or  chiseled  in  stone  or 
marble,  its  identity  is  ever  present.  I  am  pleased  to  see 
it  Jias  been  wrought  in  bronze,  and,  as  a  badge,  deco- 
rates the  new  uniforms  of  the  Kansas  National  Guard. 
It  has  marked  tJie  position  of  Kansas  in  many  an  impos- 
ing pageant.  This  flower  has  to  every  Kansan  a  historic 
symbolism.  It  speaks  elcw^ently  of  frontier  days,  whtn 
buds  and  blossoms  of  civilisation  were  not  numerous 
and  when  we  were  deprived  of  many  of  the  refinements 
we  now  «ijoy.  The  sunflower  recall^  paths  and  .winding  traits,  and  we 
are  raainded  of  its  golden  lines  o£  beauty,  at  times  making  their  grace- 
ful turns  over  hill  and  vale,  and  breaking  the  dull  monotony  of  many  a 
prairie  scene.  It  is  not  a  blossom  lingering  a  few  brief  hours,  but  lasts 
for  a  season.  It  gracefully  nods  to  the  caresses  of  the  earliest  morning 
zephyrs.  Its  bright  face  greets  the  rising  orb  of  day  and  faithfully  fol- 
lows him  in  his  onward  course  through  the  blazing  noontime,  till  the 
pink-tinted  afterglow  of  sunset  decorates  the  western  sky  and  marks  the 
quiet  hour  of  eventide.  Few  can  recall  all  the  state  favorites,  but  the 
entire  nation  knows  tJiat  Kansas  has  the  sunflower  and  is  the  "Sunflower 
State."

The  Great  Seal  of  the  State  of  Kansas, 


The  great  seal  of  the  state  of  Kansas,  procured  by  the 
secretary  of  state  as  required  by  the  joint  resolution  approved 
May  25,  1861,  is  described  in  said  joint  resolution  as  follows: 
The  East  is  represent-ed  by  a  rising  sun,  in  the  right-hand  cor- 
ner of  the  seal ;  to  the  left  of  it  Commerce  is  represented  by  a 
river  and  a  steamboat ;  in  the  foreground  Agriculture  is  rep- 
resented as  the  basis  ©f  the  future  prosperity  of  the  state,  by 
a  settler's  cabin  and  a  man  plowing  with  a  pair  of  horses; 
beyond  is  a  train  of  ox  wagons  going  west ;  in  the  background 
is  seen  a  herd  of  buffalo,  retreating,  pursued  by  two  Indians 
on  horseback;  around  the  top  is  the  motto  "Ad  Astra  per 
ASPEEA,"  and  beneath,  a  cluster  of  thirty-four  stars.  The 
circle  is  surrounded  by  the  words :  "Great  Seal  of  the  State 
OP  Kansas,  January  29, 1861."

12  Combined  Kansas  Reports,  1911^'lti 

Under  the  new  constitution,  the  first  legislature  of  the  3tat« 
of  Kansas  met  at  Topeka  on  Tuesday,  March  26,  1861.  On 
Saturday  morning  following,  the  house  and  senate  received 
the  first  message  from  Charles  Robinson,  the  first  governor. 
In  his  message  the  governor  called  attention  to  the  require- 
ments of  the  constitution  about  a  seal,  and  recommended  the 
legislature  to  take  necessary  steps  to  procure  one.  On  the  3d 
of  April,  the  state  senate,  considering  the  governor's  message, 
referred  that  part  which  mentioned  the  great  seal  to  the 
committee  on  way£  and  means.  Five  days  afterwards,  on 
Monday,  April  8,  the  following  resolution  was  submitted  to 
the  senate: 

"Atfw&Md,  That  a  committee  of  three  be  appointed  on  bahaU  of  tha 
senata  to  &vt  with  a  like  committee  on  the  part  of.  the  house,,  to,  draw, 
and  recommend  a  design  for  the  great  seal  of  the  state  of  Kaneas." 

This  resolution  was  referred  to  the  committee  on  ways  and 
means.  Similar  resolutions  were  considered  hy  the  house,. and 
the  two  committees  got  to  work.  But  this  did  not  produce  a 
seal  veiy  soon.  There  were  designs,  designs,  and  designs,, 
mottoes  and  mottoes.  Scholars  suggested,  and.  Westei^  m«Q 
insisted. 

Mr.  McDowell,  of  the  state  library  committee,  suggested  a 
landscape,  something  like  that  afterwards  adopted,  and  the 
emphatic  motto,  "Wg  Will."  Mr.  Denman  proposed  to  change 
the  motto  to  "We  Won't."  Backward  and  forward  the  thing 
was  bandied  about.  The  House  Journal  for  Friday,  May  17, 
records  the  fact  that  the  senate  sent  a  message  on  "house  joint 
resolution  on  8tat«  seal,"  saying  they  had  amended,  and  desired 
concurrence.  This  message  was  discussed  next  day  by  the 
house,  which  did  not  concur.  Then  a  committee  was  appointed 
for  conference.  The  senate  appointed  a  conference  committee 
on  Monday,  and  at  the  meeting  of  the  two  committees  the  same 
day  the  matter  was  substanti^ly  settled.  Of  that  date,  May  20, 
a  letter  in  the  Conservative  (Leavenworth)  contained  the  fol- 
lowing passage : 

"The  vexed  question  of  a  state  seal  haa  at  last  receivod  ite  qai^B  at 
the  hands  of  the  conference  committee.  The  new  design  embraces  a 
prairie  tanscape,  with  buffalo  pursued  by  Indian  hunters,  a  settler'a 
cabin,  a  river  with  a  steamboat,  a  cluster  of  tiiirty-four  stars  aarronnd- 
ing  Uke  legend  'Ad  Astka  pat  Aa^StA,'  the  whole  oicircled  by  the  words, 
''Great  Seal  of  thb  State  of  Kansas,  1861.' " 

The  senate  accepted  the  report  of  the  conference  committee 
on  Wednesday,  the  22d  of  May,  1861,  and  the  house  concurred 
on  the  same  day,  and  so  the  design  for  a  seal  was  decided. 

D.  W.  Wilder,  in  his  "Annals  of  Kansas,"  says  the  writer  of 
the  letter  in  the  Conservative,  was  John  J.  Ingalls,  and  as 
Wilder  was  editor  of  that  paper  he  ought  to  know.  The  same 
John  J.  Ingalls  was  secretary  of  the  state  senate,  and  had, 
"therefore,  means  of  obtaining  accurate  information.    John  A.

Martin,  of  Atchison,  was  a  member  of  the  conference  com- 
mittee referred  to  above,  and  a  letter  of  inquiry  addressed  to 
him  by  the  writer  brought  back  for  answer  the  statement  that 
John  J.  In^alls  had  submittedto  the  committee  the  desi^  that 
was  finally  adopted.  Why,  then,  did  not  the  letter  in  the  Con- 
servative state  that  fact?  Undoubtedly,  mainly  because  Mr. 
Ingalls  was  too  modest  to  claim  the  honor  of  having  "settled 
the  vexed  question,"  for  modesty  b^ngs  to  youth,  and  John 
J.  Ingalls  was  a  young  man  then.  Besides  bdng  toomodest,  Mr. 
In^ls  bad  anotiier  motiTe  for  not  daiming  it.  The  design, 
as  adopted,  is  not  his  alone,  and.  though  he  may  fairly  claim 
credit  for  some  of  it,  yet  of  other  parts  he  is  by  no  means  proud. 
The  design,  as  submitted  to  the  committee  by  Mr.  Ingalls,  con- 
sisted "of  a  blue  shield  at  the  base  of  a  cloud,, out  of  which 
was  emerging  one  ^Iver  star  to  join  the  constellation  in  the 
firmament,  comprising  the  thirty^four  then  in  the  Union,  with 
■Uie  motto, 'An  ASTEA  PER  ASPERA.'  "  The  cloud  symbolized  the 
struggles  through  which  we  have  passed,  the  star  the  state,  the 
coDat^Iation  the  Union.  The  motto  was  both  descriptive  aad 
suggestive,  and  the  entire  design  simple,  unique  and  satis- 
factory. It  was'  so  satisfactory  to  the  committee  that  they 
adbpted  it  entire.  But  after  that  some  of  the  "wild  heralds  of 
the  frontier"  altered  it  by  mixing  a  steamboat  and  plowing, 
with  buffalo  hunting,  etc;,  till  really  nothing  bat  the  motto  is 
Ur.  Ingalls's,  and  the  landscape  is,  probably,  substantially 
the  one -submitted  by  Mr.  McDowell. 

AD  the  seal  is  historic:  the  motto,  thedate,  the  bison  hunt, 
the  log  cabin.  But  ttie  motto  is  net  only  historic  but  su£- 
gestive  of  a  fBct"Uiat  will.be  true  forever,  that  the  conquest  of 
difficulties  is  the  way  to  moral  as  well  as  political  success.

Biennial  Rep  rt  of  Secretary  of  State. 


Office  of  the  Secretary  of  State, 
ToPEKA,  Kan.,  September  1,  1912. 
Hon.  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor: 

Sir — I  have  the  honor  to  submit  herewith  the  eight«enth 
biennial  report  of  this  department,  covering  the  two  fiscal 
years  ending  June  30,  1912. 

During  that  biennium  the  department  collected  and  turned 
into  the  state  treasury  fees  aggregating  ?90,311.81.  The  total 
esEpenses  of  the  department  for  the  same  period  aggregated 
only  ?24,400. 

The  most  important  work  performed  in  the  office  during 
the  two  years  was  in  the  corporation  department  More  than 
15,000  dormant  and  delinquent  corporations  were  wiped  out 
of  existence.  This  was  an  almost  endless  task  and  could  only 
be  accomplished  by  competent  and  expert  clerks  and  with  the 
cooperation  of  the  Charter  Board. 

Another  important  task  was  to  compel  all  live  corporations, 
for  profit,  to  promptly  file  annual  statements  showing  their 
financial  condition,  something  hundreds  of  them  had  neglected 
to  do  in  the  past. 

For  many  years  several  big  foreign  corporations  had  been 
doing  business  in  Kansas  without  authority.  They  were  pre- 
vailed upon  to  take  out  licenses,  and  the  fees  from  that  source 
alone  amounted  to  a  considerable  sum. 

The  1911  Session  Laws  were  compiled  and  issued  earlier 
than  ever  before. 

As  purchasing  agent  for  the  legislature,  this  department 
kept  ^e  bill  for  legislative  supplies  far  below  what  it  had  been 
at  any  regular  session  in  many  years. 

The  department  has  co6perttted  with  the  state  printer  in 
enttinsr  out  useless  printing  and  with  the  School  Fund  Com- 
missioners in  investing  almost  two  million  dollars  in  bonds, 
none  of  which  draws  less  than  5  per  cent  interest. 

The  state  accouatant,  Hon.  J.  C.  Gafford,  after  completing 


lyCoogk 


4  Secretary  of  State. 

an  examination  of  the  office,  in  his  report  recently  filed  with 
the  governor,  said : 

"I  consider  the  neatness  and  accuracy  of  the  records  in  this 
oflice  worthy  of  special  mention,  and  wish  to  congratulate  the 
secretary  of  state  on  the  efficient  assistants  in  his  office  and 
their  courteous  treatment  to  this  office  while  making  this  ex- 
amination." 

The  financial,  transactions  of  this  department  are  fully  set 
forth  in  the  following  table :

In  accordance  with  section  8967  of  the  General  Statutes  of 
Kansas,  1909,  I  submit  for  the  consideration  of  the  governor 
and  the  legislature  the  following  recommendations : 

First.  The  enactment  of  a  law  providing  for  an  annual 
license  fee  on  corporations.  More  than  thirty  states  now  have 
laws  of  that  kind,  and  the  revenue  derived  from  that  source 


ly  Google 


Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  6 

helps  materially  to  defray  the  expenses  of  state  government 
and  correspondingly  lightens  the  direct  burdens  of  the  tax- 
payers. Two  years  ago  I  urged  the  legislature  to  enact  such  a 
law,  but  it  failed  to  do  so. 

Second.  The  enactment  of  a  law  placing  the  work  of  the 
Utilities  Commission  under  the  secretary  of  state's  office,  and 
providing  that  the  governor,  attorney  general  and  secretary 
of  state  shall  constitute  the  commission.  This  should  be  done, 
for  these  good  and  sufficient  reasons:  (1)  In  the  interests  of 
economy.  (2)  Supervision  should  rest  with  the  department 
that  creates  corporations,  so  there  would  be  no  conflict  of 
authority. 

Third.  Amend  the  primary  election  law  in  reference  to 
petitions.  In  lieu  of  promiscuous  petitions  now  required,  a 
candidate  for  state  office  should  only  be  required  to  secure  a 
respectable  petition  in  his  home  county ;  a  candidate  for  county 
crfHce  in  his  home  ward  or  township,  etc.,  and  each  candidate 
should  pay  a  nominal  graduated  entrance  fee,  just  large  enough 
to  cover  the  expenses  of  the  primary  election.  This  would  not 
only  relieve  hundreds  of  people  of  the  annoyance  of  peddling 
petitions  for  candidates,  but  would  relieve  the  public  at  large 
of  the  expense  of  the  primary  election. 

Fourth.  The  enactment  of  a  law  to  modernize  the  present 
antiquated  system  of  gathering  election  returns,  either  by  the 
installation  of  voting  machines  or  providing  for  a  double  set 
of  election  officers.  The  cost  would  be  no  greater  to  employ  - 
two  sets  of  election  officers  one  day  than  one  set  two  days,  as  is 
done  now  in  many  of  the  counties. 

Fifth.  The  enactment  of  a  law  making  a  repetition  of  the 
1912  presidential  electoral  muddle  impossible  in  the  future. 

Sixth.  The  enactment  of  a  law  providing  for  state  license 
and  registration  of  automobiles.  The  money  should  go  back 
to  the  various  counties,  to  be  used  for  the  improvement  of 
the  roads. 

Seventh.    A  codification  of  the  laws  of  Kansas.    The  books 
are  now  lumbered  up  with  numerous  obsolete  and  conflicting 
laws  and  the  only  successful  way  they  can  be  either  weeded 
out  or  harmonized  will  be  through  a  thorough  revision. 
Resi>ectf ully  submitted, 

CHAS.  H.  SESSIONS,  Secretary  of  State.

EIGHTEENTH  BIENNIAL  REPORT. 


Office  op  the  State  Auditor, 

ToPBKA,  Kan.,  December  11,  1912.  . 
To  His  Excellency,  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor: 

Sir — I  have  the  honor  to  herewith  submit  the  report  of  the 
transactions  of  this  department  for  the  biennial  period  endinit 
June  30,  1912,  the  same  beiner  the  eighteenth  biennial  report 
of  the  State  Auditor. 

In  order  to  come  within  the  allottnent  of  space  for  the  com- 
bined volume  of  departmental  reports  as  prescribed  by  the 
State  Printing  Commission,  certain  tables  and  schedules  a{i<i 
pearing*  heretofore  in  this  report  have  necessarily  been  omitted, 
notably  statement  of  funds  and  accounts  and  of  municipal  in-^' 
debtedness  of  the  state.  The  law  requires  that  the  disburse- 
ments from  contingent  funds  shall  be  itemized  in  this  report,' 
to  show  in  whose  favor  and'  for  what  purposes,  and  I  have  so 
shown  the  same  for  the  last  half  of  the  period.  The  books  in 
ose  for  the  fiscal  year  in  which  I  assumed  the  duties  of  the 
office  were  not  so  arranged  as  to  enable  the  itemization  of  these 
(EKpendttures,  hence  the  report  is  complete  in  this  particular 
only  as  to  part  two,  for  the  fiscal  year  1912.  The  books  are 
now  so  ruled  that  this  requirement  of  the  law  can  be  fully 
complied 'with. 

By  statutory  authority  the  Auditor  is  permitted  and  in- 
vited to  make  suggestions  to  the  legislature  touching  the  matr 
ters  under  his  jurisdiction,  and  I  wish  to  avail  myself  of  this 
privilege  to  the  extent  of  offering  a  few  suggeet{<ms  and  rec- 
ommendations upon  the  following  subjects : 

SUPPOET  OF  EDUCATIONAL  INSTITUTIONS. 
There  is  a  widespread  feeling  in  this  state  that  there  ought 
to  be  a  change  in  our  .system  of  providing  means  for  the  main7 
toiance  of  our  educational  institutions.  The  present  plan  Qjf 
direct  appropriations  by  each  legislature  has  an  evil  aspect. 
which  becomes  more  alarming  as  the  influence  and  pow^  o| 
(iii) 


ly  Google 


IT  Auditor  of  State, 

these  institutions  grow.     The  criticism  is  mainly  along  tne 
followmg  lines : 

1.  The  scramble  of  the  different  boards  and  heads  of  in- 
stitutions for  all  they  can  get  from  the  legislature  is  unseemly 
and  keeps  the  legislature  and  the  people  in  a  turmoil. 

2.  The  legislature  in  the  brief  period  of  its  existence  is 
unable  to  determine  the  actual  needs  of  the  institutions  and 
sometimes  refuses  appropriations  that  ought  to  be  made  and 
very  frequently  grants  appropriations  that  ought  to  be  refused. 

3.  The  influence  of  these  institutions  through  their  grsdu- 
ate  and  student  bodies  is  becoming  more  and  more  potent  in 
procuring  favorable  legislative  grants  for  doubtful  purposes. 

4.  The  institutions  do  not  know  what  funds  will  be  avail- 
able for  any  period  beyond  the  existing  biennium,  and  are 
unable  to  plan  for  the  future. 

These  criticisms  are  in  the  main  well  founded  and  should 
be  given  careful  consideration  by  the  legislature.  In  my 
judgment  there  are  two  things  that  should  be  done.  First,  a 
single  board  of  three  should  be  created  for  the  management  of 
these  institutions.  This  board  should  be  so  constituted  that 
it  would  in  reality  be  a  governing  board.  Under  the  present 
plan  the  boards  of  regents  give  only  a  few  days  out  of  the  year 
to  their  duties.  Necessarily  they  must  rely  on  the  heads  of  in- 
stitutions, who  In  reality  determine  all  questions  affecting  the 
management  of  the  schools  under  them.  Second,  the  constitu- 
tion should  be  changed  to  authorize  the  legislature  to  levy  a 
'direct  tax  for  the  support  of  all  state  schools.  The  rate  of 
levy  ought  not  to  be  subject  to  change  except  at  intervals  of 
from  six  to  twelve  years.  Most  of  the  states  levy  a  direct  tax 
for  this  purpose.  The  state  schools  of  IllincHs  receive  no 
:  appropriations  from  the  legislature,  but  in  every  other  state, 
;S0  far  as  my  investigation  has  extended,  the  direct  levy  ii 
supplemented  by  legislative  appropriation. 

I  am  not  undertaking  to  set  forth  the  advantagfes  of  the 
system  I  suggest  over  the  present  plan,  for  if  the  legislature 
decides,  to  go  into  the  matter  it  will  have  ample  means  to 
Inform  itself  not  only  as  to  the  advantages  of  this  plan  but 
also  as  to  others  that  will  no  doubt  be  suggfisted.  I  am  fully 
convinced,  however,  that  no  plan  for  a  direci,  levy  ought  to  be 
adopted  that  will  place  large  sums  of  money  at  the  unrestricted 
disposition  of  state  schools  unless  provision  is  made  for  a

single  sroveming  board  that  will  actually  take  over  the  man- 
agement of  these  schools. 

RELIEF  FOR  PURCHASERS  OF  SCHOOL  LAND. 
On  account  of  a  series  of  poor  crops  for  the  past  two  or 
three  years  in  the  extreme  western  portion  of  the  state  and 
of  losses  in  live  stock  and  hardships  suffered  from  the  ex- 
tremely severe  winter  of  1911-'12,  coupled  with  the  losses  of 
the  ravages  of  the  horse  disease  of  last  summer,  many  settlers 
on  school  land  in  that  section  find  themselves  unable  to  meet 
the  interest  due  on  their  contracts  for  the  purchase  of  the 
lands. 

The  law  now  is  that  failure  to  pay  the  annual  interest  on 
school-land  sales  within  ten  months  of  the  time  due  works  a 
forfeiture  of  the  sale,  ipso  facto.  This  provision  of  the  present 
efficient  school-land  law  should  not  be  disturbed  in  its  general 
application  to  contracts  of  sale,  but  I  am  heartily  in  favor  of 
some  relief  legislation  in  the  nature  of  an  extension  of  the 
time  in  which  purchasers  who  are  residing  on,  improving  and 
cultivating  the  land  may  be  permitted  to  reinstate  themselves 
in  their  right,  title  and  interest  to  the  land  by  making  pay- 
ments of  interest  thereon  within  one  year  of  the  passage  of 
the  act.  This  would  protect  all  persons  who  have  suffered 
their  payments  to  lapse  from  the  danger  of  losing  their  land 
by  settlement  by  others,  and  would  give  them  opportunity  of 
realizing  on  next  year's  crop  for  the  means  with  which  to 
pay  the  interest  that  has  accrued  or  that  will  accrue  within 
tile  near  future. 

It  should  not  be  the  aim  or  the  desire  of  the  state  to  de- 
prive any  purchaser  of  school  land,  who  is  in  good  faith  en- 
deavoring to  meet  the  conditions  of  his  contract  but  who  is 
laboring  under  such  stress  of  circumstances  as  make  it  im- 
possible for  him  to  do  so,  of  his  property  ai^d  confiscate  such 
payments  and  improvements  as  have  been  made  on  Uie  land, 
and  all  because  the  interest  was  not  paid  on  the  very 
day  due.  I  strongly  urge  some  such  relief  legislation  as 
suggested  above,  but  earnestly  protest  against  any  disturb- 
ance of  the  wise  provision,  as  I  deem  it,  for  forfeitures  of 
sales  of  land  at  the  expiration  of  a  specified  time  limit  with- 
out notice,  for  a  repeal  of  the  law  and  a  reinstatement  of  the 
notice  provision  would  undoubtedly  result  in  a  icpetition  of 
all  the  difBculties  that  arose  in  the  past  ovfr  the  validity  of 
forfeltares.

STATE  LAND  IN  THE  NAVIGABLE  STREAMS. 

By  the  provisions  of  chapter  378,  Lawa  of  1907,  all  islands 
lying  in  the  nagivable  streams  of  the  state,  wherein  the  title 
is  vested  in  the  State  of  Kansas,  may  be  sold  according  to 
the  procedure  for  the  sale  of  school  lands.  The  act  unfor- 
tunately made  no  provision  for  a  designation  and  survey  of 
the  particular  lands  thus  authorized  to  Im.'  sold,  and,  as  a 
result,  settlements  have  been  made  on  practically  all  lands 
lying  between  the  meander  lines  of  the  navigable  streams. 
This  is  particularly  true  with  regard  to  lands  in  the  Arkansas 
river,  which  the  supreme  court  recently  held  to  be  a  navigable 
stream.  Hundreds  of  filings  have  been  reported,  and  in  vir- 
tually every  settlement  there  is  a  dispute  as  to  the  title  of  the 
land  being  in  the  state,  riparian  owners  claiming  the  lands  as 
accretions  to  their  property. 

The  sales  of  lands  under  this  authority  have  been  but  few, 
and  where  sales  have  been  made  this  department  has  required 
the  county  officers  to  describe  the  location  of  the  land  from  an 
actual  survey  and  to  furnish  plats  for  filing  with  the  state 
land  department.  The  question  of  title  to  these  lands  has  of 
late  become  such  a  serious  one  that  a  determination  was 
reached  by  the  department  to  refuse  to  participate  in  the  pro- 
cedure for  the  sale  of  such  lands  until  such  time  as  the  depart- 
ment is  furnished  with  official  plats  showing  that  they  belong 
to  the  state.  It  is  unbusinesslike  for  the  state  to  pay  expenses 
in  the  settlement  upon  land  the  title  to  which  is  not  yet  es- 
tablished in  the  state.  Moreover,  it  is  not  fair  to  those  claim- 
ing these  lands  as  accretions,  and  disputing  the  state's  title, 
for  the  state  to  acquiesce  in  settlements  on  these  lands  without 
first  establishing  its  title. 

The  state  and  individuals  asserting  title  to  the  property  as 
accretions  are  not  the  only  parties  that  stand  to  incur  expense 
from  settlements  upon  these  lands  before  the  title  to  the  same 
is  clearly  determined.  The  settler  who  goes  upon  such  lands 
and  places  thereon  the  improvements  required  under  the  stat- 
ute not  only  will  lose  the  time  and  labor  employed  in  improving 
the  land,  but  also  runs  the  risk  of  loss  by  being  obliged  to 
rthiove  his  improvements,  if  title  is  subsequently  determined 
to  be'in  an  individual  and  not  in  the  state.  If  the  state  desires 
to  dispose  of  these  lands,  it  should  first  clearly  establish  its 
title  and  provide  for  a  proper  survey.    It  would  then  be  posai-

ble  to  dispose  of  the  lands  without  risk  of  unnecessary  expense 
to  any  person  or  to  the  state. 

.  I  recommend  that  the  legislature  broaden  the  act  for  the 
sale  of  these  lands  to  provide  for  the  appointment  of  a  com- 
missioner to  make  a  survey  of  the  islands  lying  in  our  navigable 
streams  and  to  determine  the  question  of  title  in  each  case, 
such  determination  subject,  of  course,  to  judicial  review.  The 
commissioner  should  be  authorized  to  employ  the  county  sur- 
veyor of  the  county  in  which  the  lands  lie  to  assist  in  making 
these  surveys  and  to  prepare  plats  for  filing  with  the  register 
of  deeds  of  the  county  and  with  the  state  land  office.  Before 
these  surveys  are  made  the  oommisBioner  should  give  all  in- 
terested parties  an  opportunity  to  be  heard,  and  where  neces- 
sary to  a  proper  determination  of  title  should  be  empowered 
to  take  testimony.  Care  should  be  taken,  of  course,  to  see  that 
the  expense  of  getting  these  lands  on  the  market  does  not 
exceed  the  value  of  the  lands. 


The  beds  of  the  Kansas  and  Arkansas  rivers  are  rich  in 
deposits  of  sand  and  gravel.  It  is  conservatively  estimated 
that  every  year  2,000,000  cubic  yards  of  sand  are  taken  from 
the  beds  of  these  streams,  as  well  as  several  hundred  thousand 
cubic  yards  of  gravel.  This  sand  and  gravel  belongs  to  the 
state.  Most  of  it  ia  appropri£.ted  by  large  companies  and 
corporations,  who  make  large  profits  from  its  sale,  yet  the 
state  gets  nothing.  If  the  state  exacted  a  royalty  from  the 
companies  handling  this  sand  and  gravel,  it  would  easily  pro- 
dace  an  income  of  eighty  thousand  dollars  a  year.  This  could 
be  placed  to  the  credit  of  the  general  revenue  fund  or  to  the 
permanent  school  fund.  Upon  investigation,  I  And  that  the 
state  of  Oklahoma  is  now  proposing  to  utilize  the  sand  and 
gravel  beds  of  the  Aricansas  river  to  augment  the  revenues  of 
that  state.  I  would  suggest  that  the  same  act  that  provides 
for  a  survey  and  sale  of  lands  in  navigable  rivers  should  also 
wmride  a  plan  for  the  collection  of  a  royalty  of  not  less  than 
four  cents  per  oubic  yard  on  the  gross  output  of  sand  and 
gravel  taken  from  the  navigable  streams  of  Kansas.

viii  Auditor  of  State, 

INSURANCE  FUND. 

The  state  has  hitherto  followed  the  plan  of  carrying  its  own 
insurance,  which,  in  my  opinion,  is  a  wise  and  economical 
plan.  But  it  frequently  happens  that  the  loss  of  a  building  or 
power  plant  by  fire  seriously  cripples  an  institution  and  ham- 
pers it  in  caring  for  its  inmates  in  a  proper  manner.  A  fund 
should  be  provided,  to  be  under  the  control  of  the  Executive 
Council,  with  authority  to  U8e  it  only  in  case  of  loss  where 
delay  of  rebuilding  can  not  await  the  regular  convening  of  the 
legislature. 

As  it  is  now,  if  a  building  is  destroyed  at  one  of  the  institu- 
tions, it  would  require  the  convening  of  the  legislature  in 
extraordinary  session  to  provide  a  means  for  the  rebuilding 
of  the  structure,  and  to  convene  the  legislature  in  extra  session 
would  add  greatly  to  the  actual  cost  of  the  replacement  of  the 
building.  I  recommend  that  a  fund  of  $100,000  be  provided, 
under  the  control  of  the  Executive  Council,  to  be  known  as  an 
emergency  building  fund,  to  be  used  only  in  actual  logs  or 
damage  of  state  buildings  from  fire  and  the  elements,  and  then 
only  in  case  of  imperative  need  of  replacement. 
LEGISLATIVE  COMMITTEE  ROOMS. 

The  Memorial  Hall  is  rapidly  being  completed,  and  at  its 
completion  all  of  the  property  of  the  Historical  Society  and  tiie 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  is  to  be  removed  to  the  new  build- 
ing. That  action  will  vacate  all  of  the  top  floor  of  the  state- 
house,  and  as  much  of  this  space  as  is  necessary  should  be 
converted  into  permanent  legislative  committee  rooms. 

I  would  recommend  an  appropriation  of  $26,000  to  pay  the 
expense  of  removing  the  property  of  the  Historical  Society 
and  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  to  the  Memorial  Hall 
and  to  remodel  and  furnish  the  rooms  thus  vacated  to  the 
'  extent  needed  for  permanent  committee  rooms. 

REGISTRATION  OP  MUNICIPAL  BONDS. 

I  wish  to  renew  the  recommendation  of  my  immediate 
predecessor,  Honorable  James  M.  Nation,  touching  the  regis- 
tration of  municipal  bonds  in  this  office,  who  said  in  the  seven- 
teenth biennial  report  of  this  department :  "The  law  on  the 
registration  of  bonds  should  be  revised  to  require  all  bonds 
issued  in  the  state  to  be  registered  in  the  auditor's  ofl!ice.  The 
regularity  and  legality  of  every  issue  of  bonds  should  be  passed 


ly  Google 


Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  ix 

on  by  the  attorney-general  before  the  bonds  are  registered. 
When  approved  by  the  attorney-general  the  bonds  should  be 
incontestable  except  on  the  ground  of  fraud." 

DEFOSITOBY  FOB  DESDS  TO  STATE  PBOPBBT) . 

I  would  recommend  the  enactment  of  a  law  requiring  all 
deeds  and  abstracts  to  state  property  to  be  assembled  and  ftled 
under  appropriate  indexes  with  one  of  the  principal  depart- 
ments in  the  statehouse.  At  the  present  time  these  instruments 
are  filed  with  this  or  that  department  or  institution,  as  the  act 
providing  for  the  purchase  of  the  property  may  happen  to 
specify  or  the  inclination  of  the  officials  supervising  the  pur- 
chase may  decide.  The  requirement  should  be  made  for  rea- 
sons of  both  protection  and  convenience  of  inspection. 

APPBOPBUTIONS! 
.  The  appropriations  for  the  biennium  of  1914  and  1916,  as 
claimed  necessary  by  the  departments  and  institutions  of  the 
state,  total  $11,389,388.  This  is  an  increase  of  $3,013,886  over 
the  appropriations  allowed  by  the  legislature  of  1911.  The 
educational  institutions  are  asking  $2,324,574  more  than  was 
allowed  them  by  the  last  legislature ;  the  charitable,  including 
ttie  new  insane  hospital  and  the  tuberculosis  sanatorium,  $916,- 
193,  or  an  aggregate  for  the  two  classes  of  institutions  of 
13,240,707,  which  is  greater,  it  will  be  noted,  than  the  total 
iocrease.  This  shows  for  the  demands  of  the  other  institutions 
and  departments  collectively  a  decrease  over  the  amount  al- 
lowed by  the  preceding  legislature;  and,  in  addition,  decreases 
in  specific  items  have  been  suggested  by  me  approximating 
$100,000.  It  is  clear,  therefore,  that  the  only  possibilities  for 
greatly  increased  appropriations  lie  in  the  consideration  of 
budgets  of  the  educational  schools  particularly,  and  of  the 
charitable  institutions,  and  preceding  each  of  these  general 
budgets  I  have  submitted  a  few  remarks  to  which  I  respect- 
fully invite  the  attention  of  the  legislatu're. 

Respectfully  submitted.  W.  E.  DAVIS,

iks  nround  windows  In  dome  and  the  lantern  of  dome  should  be  repaired.  The 
wiring  In  certain  parts  of  the  building  is  badly  In  need  of  restoration.  The  sewage 
connection  In  un^snltary  and  should  be  changed.  Tbe  woodwork  throughout  prac- 
tically the  entire  building  should  be  gone  over  with  oils  for  preserratlTe  consider-

at  the  time  except  as  preveDtntlve  of  a  heavT  expense  If  let  go  without  attention 
beyond  the  Initial  need. 

Tbe  fund  requested  would  not  enable  the  rebuilding  of  the  east  steps,  now  badly

CHARITABLE  INSTITUTIONS. 

I  am  herewith  submitting  statement  of  appn^riations  for  tiie  char- 
itable institutions  for  the  ensuing;  biennium  as  requested  by  the  Board  of 
CtMitrol.  I  have  not  made  a  tiiorough  investigation  of  the  neette  of 
these  intititntions  as  I  take  it  that  the  legislature  will  desire  to  go  into 
these  matters  directly  with  the  board,  but  wish  to  say  that  while  everjr 
dollar  needed  to  properly  provide  for  the  comfort  and  welfare  of  the 
utfortunates  of  the  state  should  b^  granted,  that  there  is  absolutely  no 
need  for  any  increases  in  appropriations  for  maintenance,  salaries  and 
wages  over  that  allowed  for  the  current  biennium  unless  additional 
nom  be  provided  to  care  for  an  increased  number  of  inmates.  If  any 
increases  in  maintenance  funds  are  allowed,  the  items  classified  as 
^Mcials,  except  as  to  additi<Hial  land  and  new  buildings,  should  be  stricken 
oQt  as  such  expenditures  to  the  extent  actually  necessary  can  be  properly 
mA  from  maintenance  funds. 

In  this  connection  I  desire  to  call  attention  to  the  statement  follow- 
ing tiuB  budget  containing  the  appropriations  allowed  each  institution  by 
tM  preceding  legislature  for  the  current  two  years  for  maintenance, 
nlsries  and  wages;  also  the  amount  of  fees  to  the  credit  of  each  institu- 
tion on  December  1,  1912,  which  fees  are  available  for  the  purposes 
specified  above.  It  will  be  noted  that  the  balances  in  the  fee  funds  at 
this  date  are  in  some  cases  large  enough  to  cover  salaries  and  wages  of 
the  institution  for  one  year.  If  the  same  policy  is  pursued  in  the  matter 
of  the  reappropriation  of  fees  to  the  institutions,  Uiere  is  no  reason  for 
Uk  institutions  not  having  at  the  beginning  of  the  next  biennium  larger 
balances  in  the  fee  fund  than  at  this  date  as  they  have  a  sufHcient  bal- 
■nce  in  Uie  regular  funds  to  meet  the  usual  and  ordinary  expenses  for 
tlte  remainder  of  the  year.  It  would  seem  that  with  the  cons^^ction  of 
At  new  hospital  at  Lamed  there  would  be  little  need  for  additional 
room  at  this  period  to  be  provided  at  the  other  institutions,  and  I  would 
*aggWt  that  the  legislature  be  sparing  in  appropriations  for  such  pur- 
poses and  for  additional  land.  The  amount  appropriated  to  the  charitable 
■Bstitutions  shown  in  this  budget  for  the  ten-year  period  1904  to  1913, 
inclusive,  for  the  purchase  of  land,  new  buildings  and  other  permanent 
improvements,  toUls  $1,420,677.

EDUCATIONAL  INSTITUTIONS. 

I  sm  submitting  below  the  budget  of  the  educational  institutioiia  ex- 
actly as  submited  to  me  by  the  heads  of  these  institutions.  It  will  be 
Men  that  each  institution  is  asking  for  large  increases  for  maintenance — 
m  a«ne  cases  almost  twice  that  allowed  for  the  current  biennium — and 
also  for  large  sums  for  additional  buildings.  The  legislature  should  be 
very  cautious  in  appropriating  largu  sums  for  buildings  and  for  in- 
creased maintenance.  The  grantinijr  of  liberal  general  maintenance  funds 
makes  absolutely  unnecessary  special  funds  for  purposes  that  are  prop- 
erly chargeable  to  general  maintenance  and  all  requests  for  additional 
maintenance  for  specific  departments  should  be  very  closely  scrutinised. 
I  am  sure  that  a  thorough  investigation  of  Uie  needs  of  these  institutions 
vill  convince  the  legislature  that  many  of  the  items  in  the  budget  as  set 
out  below  are  unnecessary  and  should  be  stricken  out 

I  particularly  call  the  attention  of  the  legislature  to  the  requests  for 
large  soma  for  the  building  of  student  dormitories.  Educational  men 
are  quite  undecided  as  to  the  advantage  of  student  domiitorieB  in  state 
institutions.  They  are  usually  constructed,  furnished  and  operated  with 
a  degree  of  luxury  and  extravagance  that  is  out  of  harmony  with  the 
Itome  life  of  the  studmt  and  breeds  idleness  and  foppery.  The  state 
woold  have  to  maintain  supervision  of  the  dormitories  and  this  would 
add  greatly  to  the  increasing  army  of  employees  on  the  state  pay  roll. 
There  is  no  satisfactory  showing  that  the  localities  where  these  schools 
ate  situated  are  unable  to  furnish  good  accommodations  for  the  students. 
These  institutions  have  the  power  of  the  state  behind  them  for  the 
enforconent  of  regulations  compelling  proper  behavior  on  the  part  of 
ftDdrats,  and  in  cities  the  size  of  Lawrence,  Manhattan  and  Emporia, 
this  on^t  not  to  be  a  difficult  matter.  I  hope  the  legislature  will  express 
ttaelf  on  this  question  in  such  a  manner  as  to  leave  no  doubt  as  to  the 
policy  of  the  state  in  this  regard. 

The  University  Board  failed  to  include  any  estimate  for  the  School  of 
Hinea  and  Hetallurgy  at  Weir,  therefore  no  estimate  is  shown  for  that

EIGHTEENTH  BIENNIAL  REPORT. 


State  op  Kansas,  . .. 

Tbbabubbb's  Office,  Topeea,  July  1,  1912. 
IbJKa  fiKaUancy  W.  R.  Sbubba,  Governor  ofth«  State  ofKmuaa:. 

DsAK  Sia — Fursaant  to  the  requirementB  of  law,  I  bave  th« 
honor  herewith  to  preBent  the  following  report  of  this  departmeDt 
for  the  fiacal  years  ending  June  30, 1911,  and  June  30, 1912. 

In  my  last  biennial  report  I  made  the  following  Btatementa: 

"Since  the  last  biennial  report  of  thie  office  a  tank  guaranty  law, 
known  aa  chapter  61,  Session  Laws  of  1909,  and  an  inheritance  tax 
Uv,  known  as  chapter  248,  Session  Laws  of  11^09,  have  been  ea< 
toted. 

"The  bank  guaranty  law  has  been  in  operation  only  a  part  of  the 
time,  on  account  of  a  oonrt  decieiun,  eo,  at  the  present  time,  it 
vonid  be  diffionlt  to  tell  just  how  practical  and  beneficial  it  yi'iM 
prove  to  be.  However,  a  good  many  people  who  have  studied  the 
Mme  have  great  confidence  in  the  benefits  of  its  operation.  While 
the  inheritance  tax  law  is  yielding  some  revenue  for  the  state,  it  is 
not  looked  upon  favorably  by  a  goodly  number  of  the  people,  on^ 
aooount  of  the  hardship  they  claim  it  works  in  some  instances,  I 
think,  however,  the  law  can  be  remedied  by  amending  the  same, 
ud,  if  it  can  not  be,  in  my  judgment  it  should  be  repealed,  as  the 
law  IB  objectionable  as  it  now  stands.  And  the  state  is  in  such  a 
DiiBQcial  condition  that  it  can  very  well  get  along  without  the  reve- 
nae  derived  from  a  law  that  is  odious  to  a  majority  of  the  citizens. 

"The  state  depository  law  of  1905  was  amended  by  the  last  legis-, 
l&taie  BO  as  to  permit  the  Board  of  Treasnry  Examiners  to  designate 
■  depository  to  take  the  place  of  one  that  baa  gone  oat  of  busioessj 
^ther  by  failure  or  liquidation.  Since  that  amendment,  the  law 
u  working  nicely  and  the  state  receives  in  interest  on  the  deposit^ 
in  the  different  depositories  from  3  to  3^  per  cent,  which  adds  to, 
'he  general  revenue  fund  about  $26,000  annually. 

"In  my  last  biennial  report  I  made  the  following  statement:  'In 
this  report  you  will  find  under  the  heading  "Fraudulent  Bonds,"  a 
ustof  bondswhicb  were  bought  by  the  School-fund  Commissioners 
ibout  the  years  1877,  1878  and  1879,  which  was  at  a  period  in  the. 
•tate's  history  when  school  districts  were  organized  by  a  few  par-.

ties  who  issued  boodB  to  baild  a  Bmall  Bohool  baildiog  and  to  pay 
other  expeasea  iaoarred,  aod  aold  the  bonds  to  the  state.  The  dis- 
triota  Id  a  tew  years  beoame  depopulated,  and  the  state,  in  trying 
to  oolleot  the  iutftrest,  fonnd  there  was  no  lery  made  to  pay  the 
same,  and,  in  fact,  found  no  organized  distriota,  and  that  the  bonds 
were  not  legally  issued-  And  in  all  these  years  these  bonds  have 
been  oarried  by  the  permanent  school  fund  as  a  dead  aooount,  but 
have  to  be  taken  into  oonsiderHtion  in  making  up  the  total  balanoes. 
And  to  correct  this  false  Impression  that  the  permanent  fund  has 
a  sum  total  of  $8,457,456,15,  in  which  sum  ie  locluded  |21,750  of 
fraudulent  bonds,  I  would  recommend  that  the  legislature  make  sb 
appropriation  to  the  permanent  school  fnnd  in  the  sum  of  $21,760 
to  leiinburse  this  fund,  and  order  these  bonds  deatroyed.'  Instead 
of  18,457,456.15,  as  stated  above,  the  amount  of  the  permanent 
school  fund  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  years,  June  90,  1910,  was 
$8,918,735.79.  And  a  decision  of  the  supreme  oonrt  in  the  case  of 
The  SUte  of  Kansas  v.  The  City  of  Lawrence,  over  $100,000  of  the 
permanent  sobool  fund,  together  with  interest  upon  the  same,  was 
against  the  state,  and  in  favor  of  the  city  of  Lawrence.  If  that 
decision  is  final,  and  there  is  no  other  way  to  oolleot  that  $100,000 
that  amount  should  be  added  to  the  $21,750,  and  the  state  should 
reimburse  the  permanent  school  fund  for  the  amount,  as  the  con- 
stitation  of  the  state  positively  says  the  permanent  school  fnnd 
shall  not  be  diminished.  If  one  fond  handled  by  the  state  treasurer 
is  more  sacred  than  any  other  fund  handled  by  him,  it  is  surely  the 
school  fund,  and  no  statement  of  his  in  regard  to  either  the  perma- 
nent or  the  annual  school  fnnd  shonld  be  misleading,  as  the  people 
have  a  right  to  know  the  exact  condition  of  their  school  fands. 
And  if  the  state,  as  cnstodian  of  the  permanent  school  fund,  has 
accepted  any  fraudalent  bonds,  it  should  do  the  same  as  any  other 
custodian  of  funds — fnlGll  its  trust  by  making  those  bonds  abso- 
lutely good.  And  in  my  judgment  the  state  violates  its  trust  if  it 
fails  to  comply  with  the  constitution  and  fulfill  its  contract. 

"I  sincerely  hope  that  a  law  will  be  placed  upon  the  statute-book 
that  will  authorize  the  state  treasurer  to  correct  the  records  in  bis 
office  so  as  to  show  the  school  fnnds  in  their  true  condition,  and 
bis  accounts  with  those  funds  show  the  same  as  the  acconnts  of 
any  responsible  bank  or  trust  company  would  show  with  any  of 
their  fnnds.  It  is  impossible  for  him  to  make  a  oorreot  showing 
without  the  legislation  asked  for.  The  state  would  not  for  a  minute 
permit  a  state  bank  to  carry  as  an  asset  'fraudulent  bonds,'  and 
the  state  surely  oaght  not  to  be  guilty  of  doing  that  which  it  would 
not  tolerate  in  others."

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  7 

In  T^[ftid  to  the  bask  guaranty  law  will  say  that  it  aeeniB  to  be 
working  fairly  satisfaotorily. 

In  regard  to  the  inheritance  tax  law,  there  is  still  a  great  deal  of 
oomplaint,  and  a  pretty  general  demand  all  over  the  state  for  its 
ndical  ameDdment  or  its  entire  repeal,  and  I  think  a  majority  of 
the  people  in  Kanaaa  favor  ita  absolote  repeal. 

The  atate  depository  law  ie  working  satiaf aotorily,  except  I  think 
s  limit  ahonld  be  plaoed  on  the  nambet'of  depoeitoriee.  The  state 
■hoold  have  a  reasonable  nomber  of  depoeitories,  bat  not  an  nnlim- 
iled  namber,  as  an  QDlimited  number  is  not  satiefaotory  to  the  de> 
poaitories  themselves  and  makes  the  State  Treasurer's  office  a  great 
deal  of  extra  work,  and  is  almost  impraotioal  in  the  transaction  of 
the  hnsineBS. 

As  to  reimburaing  the  permanent  school  fnnd  for  its  losses  on 
woonnt  of  fraudulent  and  worthless  bonds,  I  still  insist  that  the 
only  honorable  thing  for  the  state  is  to  do  as  the  oonatitation  pre> 
Mribes:  reimbnrse  the  permanent  school  fund  for  its  losses,  and  I 
wonld  recommend  that  a  law  of  that  kind  be  enacted  by  the  next 
Ugislatnre, 

In  1905  a  law  was  passed  that  practically  prohibited  one  official 
or  employee  from  drawing  more  than  one  salary,  or  pay,  from  more 
than  one  appropriation  of  the  state.  There  is  a  little  difference  of 
opinion  between  some  of  the  officials  in  regard  to  the  application 
of  that  law  in  some  specific  oases.  I  think  the  law  a  good  one,  bat 
it  should  be  amended  bo  as  to  leave  no  doubt  as  to  its  application. 

The  state  bonded  indebtedness  is  only  $370,000,  every  dollar  of 
which  is  held  by  the  state  permanent  school  fond,  so  when  the 
■tate  pays  the  interest,  instead  of  its  going  to  a  corporation  or  an 
individaal,  it  goes  into  the  annual  school  fnnd,  and  is  distributed 
all  over  the  state  for  the  benefit  of  the  common  schools.  In  the 
daking  fnnd  of  the  state  there  is  $76,878.75  to  be  applied  upon  the 
papient  of  this  bonded  indebtedness  when  due.  Upon  investiga- 
tion, I  find  that  there  are  only  a  few  other  states  in  the  Union  that 
have  as  small  a  state  bonded  indebtedness  as  Kansas. 
Respectfully  submitted.

[TEENTH  BIENNIAL  REPoRl'. 

Office  of  the  Attorney-general, 

TOPEKA,  Kan.,  September  1,  1912. 
mor: 

;itution  provides  that  the  officers  of  the  Executive 
shall,  at  least  ten  days  preceding  each  regular 
the  legislature,  make  reports  to  the  governor, 
iutory  provisions  are  to  the  same  general  effect.  In 
therewith  the  eighteenth  biennial  report  of  this 
is  herewith  transmitted. 

>r  has  been  connected  with  the  legal  department  of 
most  continuously  for  ten  years,  and  during  that 
vork  of  the  office  has  multiplied  many  times  over. 
;h  and  extension  of  official  work  was  to  be  expected 
radual  growth  and  development  of  the  state;  but 
ing  activities  of  the  department  seem  to  have  stim- 
nultiplied  still  other  and  different  demands  for  our 

!  briefest  rfeumfi  of  the  attorney-general's  duties 

le  the  following:  v 

ney-general  is  the  state's  attorney  in  all  the  state's 

n  the  supreme  court  and  in  the  federal  courts, 

ly  all  of  its  important  litigation  in  the  district  and 

or  courts.

member  of  the  School-fund  Commission,  charged

fariouB  demands  upon  that  department  so  as  to  limit  the  entire 
output  to  fit  the  appropriations;  and  the  appropriations  for 
public  printing  are  invariably  too  small  when  measured  by 
the  statutory  requirements  and  authorizations  for  printing  by 
the  various  state  departments  and  educational  and  other  insti- 
tutions. The  present  Printing  Commission  is  the  only  one 
which  has  successfully  curtailed  the  public  printing  so  as  to 
keep  within  the  appropriations.  I  urge  that  the  appropriations 
be  substantially  increased,  or  that  the  statutes  authorizing 
so  much  public  printing  be  radically  amended  and  repealed. 

It  is  alfio  the  duty  of  the  attorney-general  to  examine  the 
legal  proceedings  leading  up  to  the  issue  of  county  bonds, 
school-district  bonds,  board  of  education  bonds,  city  bonds, 
drainage  bonds,  and  all  other  sorts  of  municipal  bonded  obli- 
gations. This  grows  out  of  the  fact  that  all  such  bonds  must 
be  registered  in  the  state  auditor's  office,  and  must  be  offered 
to  the  School-fund  Commission  before  they  can  be  sold  to 
private  individuals.  When  we  stop  to  think  of  the  many 
millions  of  dollars  of  municipal  securities  which  are  being 
issued  by  the  various  municipalities  and  subdivisions  of.  the 
state  each  year,  some  idea  of  the  work  developing  upon  this 
department  may  be  imagined. 

The  attorney-general  is  also  a  member  of  the  Exeoitive 
Council,  and  of  several  other  minor  boards  and  commissitxis, 
all  entitled  to  more  of  his  time  and  consideration  than  he  has 
to  give. 

The  state's  litigation  and  a  schedule  of  the  state's  cases  dur- 
ing my  term  and  their  disposition  or  present  status  will  be 
found  elsewhere  in  this  report.  This  schedule  shows  the  wide 
ranige  of  the  litigation  in  whxh  the  department  has  been 
engaged,  but  such  litigation  has  not  altogether  been  instituted 
nor  conducted  in  the  exercise  of  the  attorney-general's  own 
discretion.

Attorney-general,  86  Kan.  180. 

COOPERATION  WITH  LOCAL  OFFICERS. 

The  enactment  of  the  ouster  law  for  the  removal  of  derelict 
officials,  which  I  secured  from  the  legislature  of  1911,  made  it 
possible  to  unify  the  work  of  the  state  and  local  governments 
in  a  way  which  was  not  possible  theretofore.  While  there  had 
been  some  cooperation  between  the  attorney-general's  office  and

supreme  court  of  the  United  States,  I  deemed  it  my  duty  to 
file  a  brief  as  amicus  curias  in  the  supreme  court  of  the  United 
States,  because  the  same  legal  problems  are  largely  involved  in 
the  Kansas  rate  cases,  and  the  decision  of  the  supreme  court 
on  the  two-cent  laws  of  these  neighboring  states  will  have  con- 
siderable effect  upon  the  Kansas  cases. 

I  also  deemed  it  my  duty  to  protect  the  state  against  the 
enormous  expense  of  railroad  passenger  rate  litigation,  so 
that  when  a  determined  effort  was  made  in  the  legislature  in 
1911  to  enact  a  two-cent  passenger  law,  I  went  before  the  rail- 
road v^ommittee  and  also  the  House  committee  of  the  whole  and 
explained  the  situation  at  length,  pointing  out  that  the  pro- 
posed bill,  if  enacted,  should  carry  with  it  a  considerable  appro- 
priation of  funds  for  the  purpose  of  conducting  the  litigation 
which  would  undoubtedly  follow  its  enactment.  And  I  also 
urged  the  legislature  to  direct  me  what  to  do  about  the  thirteen 
lawsuits  which  we  already  had  about  the  two-cent  fares  which 
we  were  then  and  still  are  enjoying.  The  legislature  in  the  end 
wisely  concluded  to  leave  the  matter  in  the  hands  of  the  Rail- 
road Commissioners,  who  have  ample  power  to  fix  passenger 
rates  as  the  march  of  events  will  justify. 

Following  the  adjournment  of  the  legislature,  and  at  the 
next  term  of  the  United  States  court  in  Leavenworth,  I  entered 
into  formal  stipulations  with  the  attorneys  for  the  thirteen 
Kansas  railroads  that  this  two-cent  fare  litigation  should  be 
held  in  abeyance  and  continued  until  the  conclusion  of  the  liti- 
gation between  the  railroads  and  the  state  of  Nebraska  over 
its  two-cent  passenger  fare  law.  Hon.  John  C.  Pollock,  of  the 
federal  court,  being  fully  apprised  of  the  matters  involved, 
approved  the  stipulations. 

MISCELLANEOUS  LITIGATION. 

Space  will  not  permit  a  detailed  statement  of  the  miscella- 
neous litigation  in  which  the  department  has  been  involved. 
The  act  of  1907  (chapter  250  of  the  Session  Laws) ,  regulating 
the  use  of  .i?unpowder  in  the  mines  of  the  state,  was  successfully 
maintained  in  the  supreme  court  of  the  United  States. 

Williams  v.  Walsh,  32  U.  S.  Rep.  137. 

The  law  against  blacklisting  laboring  men  on  account  of 
their  connection  with  labor  unions  has  been  upheld  by  the

vators  were  public  elevators  in  which  the  grain  of  different 
ownera,  of  the  same  grade,  was  mixed  and  mingled,  or  where 
a  warehouse  receipt  was  issued  reserving  the  right  so  to  mix 
and  mingle  grain  of  different  owners,  and  that  those  elevators 
in  which  the  grain  of  each  owner  was  kept  separate  and  dis- 
tinct from  that  of  other  owners  were  not  public  elevators. 
Five  of  the  operators  of  elevators  were  held  by  the  court  to 
have  been  public  elevators  up  to  December  6,  1911,  and  the 
fees  paid  by  them  into  court  were  held  to  belong  to  the  state, 
and  they  were  charged  with  a  part  of  the  costs  of  the  proceed- 
ings. The  decision  of  the  court  in  this  case  did  away  with 
compulsory  grain  inspection  by  the  Kansas  department,  ex- 
cept at  public  warehouses,  and  severely  hampered  the  de- 
partment. 

I  would  suggest  that  the  grain-inspection  law  be  amended 
so  as  to  expressly  provide  for  the  compulsory  inspection  and 
weighing  of  grain  at  all  railroad  terminals,  public  ware- 
houses and  other  points  within  the  state  where  the  business 
transacted  justifies  the  establishment  of  an  inspector;  and 
that  the  law  be  further  amended  by  defining  public  ware- 
houses to  be  all  elevators  or  warehouses  in  the  state  in  which 
grain  is  stored  for  a  compensation,  whether  the  grain  of  dif- 
ferent owners  is  mixed  together  or  not.  I  believe  that  these 
amendments,  with  a  few  others  of  minor  importance,  would 
make  the  inspection  law  of  this  state  an  efficient  and  woriiing 
law. 

The  history  of  this  litigation  is  covered  in  State,  ex  rel.,  v. 
The  A.  T.  &  S.  F.  Ry.  Co.  et  al,  87  Kan.  565.  and  State,  ex  rel, 
V.  A.  T.  &  S.  F.  Ry.  Co.  et  al.  p.  348. 

There  have  beifen  some  expenses  about  this  litigation  which 
the  legislature  ought  to  meet. 

CRIMINAL  APPEALS. 
The  work  of  attending  to  the  state's  interests  in  criminal 
appeals  has  continued  to  be  one  of  the  heavy  burdens  upon 
the  department.  It  is  not  the  duty  of  the  county  attorney 
who  has  successfully  prosecuted  a  criminal  in  the  district 
court  to  attend  to  the  case  on  appeal.  That  is  the  duty  of  the 
attorney-general.  But  most  of  the  county  attorneys  are  pub- 
lic-spirited officers,  and  many  of  them  do  help  in  this  work. 
On  the  other  hand,  the  county  attorneys  who  retire  from  oflfice 
can  not  usually  be  expected  to  give  their  attention  to  these

THE  STANDARD  OIL  LITIGATION,

through  the  entire  four  years  of  the  term  of  his  ■ :  '

id  an  abridgement  of  the  findings  of  the  commis-  -j  f 

the  final  judgment  in  the  case. 

SOME   TRUST  CASES.  '    i 

r  Insurance  Trust.    Early  in  my  term  the  cas- 

mce  companies,  pursuant  to  a  common  purpose  in  i 
the  antitrust  law,  made  radical  advances  in  their 

itea,  which  were  to  become  effective  April  1,  1911.  ; 

temporary  restraining  order  and  eventually  a  per-  j- 

unction  against  these  companies  in  the  district  i    i' 

Terson  county,  which  prevented  these  advances.  j 

0  point  out,  however,  that  while  these  companies  .  ] 
ance  their  rates  pursuant  to  a  common  plan  and  ^  1  j 
yet  there  is  nothing  in  the  law  to  prevent  these 

acting  independently  of  each  other,  from  making  ,; 

:e8,  and  I  recommend  that  the  superintendent  of  ■ 

e  granted  the  same  power  to  put  a  check  on  the 
lualty  insurance  companies  that  he  now  exercises 

iurance  companies.  ; 

CE  Trust.  In  1911  the  two  ice  companies  doing 
Topeka  made  radical  advances  in  their  rates  on 
,ly  to  the  small  consumer.  I  procured  some  evi- 
:ot  much,  which  tended  to  show  that  thia  was  pur- 

1  unlawful  agreement,  and  filed  an  application 
5'arrelly  act  before  Judge  Dana  of  the  Shawnee 
ict  court  for  subpoenas  to  investigate  this  matter. 

the  officers  of  the  companies  called  at  my  office 
to  make  no  further  advances  for  the  year  1911  in

their  ice  rates,  and  agreed  also  to  cat  the  price  of  ice  from 
seventy-flve  cents  p«*  hundred  pounds  to  fifty  cents  per  hun- 
dred pounds  when  sold  in  ten-pound  chunks;  and  that  tbe 
three-hundred-pound  cake  of  ice,  which  is  the  common  sixe  at 
the  time  of  manufacture,  should  be  cut  into  twenty-four 
pieces,  and  these  pieces,  which  nominally  would  weigh  twelve 
and  one-half  pounds,  should  be  sold  for  a  ten-pound  chunk. 
I  accepted  this  proposal,  for  two  reasons:  First,  because  it 
wafl  a  cut  of  fifty  per  cent  on  the  price  of  ice  to  the  smali 
consumer  and  secured  to  the  small  consumer  liberal  over- 
weights in  his  daily  purchases.  The  second  reason  was  that 
I  did  not  at  all  feel  sure  that  I  had  sufficient  evidence  to 
prosecute  an  antitrust  case,  and  such  a  case  would  undoubt- 
edly go  to  the  highest  courts  before  the  companies  would 
submit.  In  the  meantime  the  small  consumer,  who  needed 
the  protection  of  the  antitrust  law,  would  gel  no  benefit. 

I  may  say  that  the  Topeka  ice  companies  have  kept  faith 
with  the  state  on  this  settlement,  not  only  for  the  season  of 
1911,  but  also  for  the  season  of  1912. 

I  recommend  that  the  city  governments  of  Kansas  be  given 
power  to  regulate  the  price  at  which  ice  may  be  sold  to  the 
general  public. 

PLUMBERS'  Trust.  During  the  summer  of  1912  complaint 
was  made  at  my  ofl^ce  by  certain  master  plumbers  in  Kansas 
City,  Kan.,  that  an  association  of  master  plumbers  in  Kansas 
City  had  an  unlawful  arrangement  with  the  Pittsburg  Water 
Heater  Company,  whereby  the  master  plumbers  of  Kansas 
City  who  were  not  affiliated  with  the  Kansas  Cily  Plumbers' 
Association  were  charged  $85  each  for  heaters  which  the 
afiiliated  plumbers  were  able  to  secure  for  $68.  The  rami- 
fications of  this  alleged  combination  were  mostly  outside  the 
state  of  Kansas,  but  after  I 'filed  suit  against  this  alleged 
plumbers*  trust  in  the  supreme  court  an  offer  of  settlement 
was  made  whereby  the  nonaffiliated  master  plumbers  of  Kan- 
sas City,  Kan.,  were  to  be  furnished  with  these  heaters  at  the 
same  favorable  price  enjoyed  by  the  affiliated  plumbers,  and 
I  settled  the  case  on  that  basis. 

The  Gas  Trust.  During  the  winter  of  1911-'12  an  at- 
tempt was  made  by  the  Kansas  Natural  Gas  Company  and 
various  local  subsidiary  gas  companies  to  raise  the  price  of  gas 
without  the  consent  of  the  Public  Utilities  Commission.    At

it  was  doubtful  whether  or  not  the  powers  con-- 
n  the  Public  Utilities  Commission  were  broad 
M>ver  the  matter,  and  it  was  apparent  to  me  that 
ipanies  would  not  submit  to  the  re(i;ulation  of  their 
le  Public  Utilities  Commission  or  by  public  au- 
1  the  court  of  last  resort  had  so  decided.  In  look- 
■  matter  I  found  that  these  companies  had  certain 
in  their  contracts  with  each  other  in  violation  of 
St  law,  and  I  therefore  invoked  the  all-powerful 
of  this  law  to  bridge  over  any  possible  weakness 
lie  utilities  law,  and  within  a  short  time  I  filed 
3,  injunction  suits  and  civil-penalty  suits  of  va- 
against  the  gas  companies,  which  speedily  brought 
ms  with  the  state  and  secured  judgments  against 
ining  them  from  advancing  their  rates  without  the 
the  Public  Utilities  Commission  or  the  courts,  and 
lem  to  pay  into  the  school  funds  of  the  counties  of 
y,  Cherokee,  Crawford,  Shawnee,  Johnson,  Leav- 
d  Douglas  civil  penalties  under  the  Burton  and 
s  for  the  benefit  of  the  school  funds  of  these  coun- 
of  $10,600. 

NDARD  Oil  Trust.  On  the  assumption  that  the 
gainst  the  subsidiary  companies  of  the  Standard 
ly  of  New  Jersey,  which  had  been  pending  for 
■ears  in  the  state  supreme  court,  would  be  a  com- 
y  for  the  state,  I  called  a  conference  of  the  county 
f  the  state  of  Kansas  for  the  purpose  of  following 
decision  with  criminal  prosecutions.  But  the  su- 
;  commissioner,  Judge  L.  W.  Keplinger,  in  elaborate 
hensive  findings,  determined  that  the  only  ground 
S  of  these  subsidiary  companies  of  the  Standard 
ly  doing  business  in  Kansas  lay  in  the  fact  that 
iubsidiaries  of  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  New 
that  in  and  of  themselves  these  subsidiary  com- 
not  violated  the  antitrust  law  of  the  state  of  Kan- 
the  fact  that  they  were  members  of  a  New  Jersey 
i!  trust  in  violation  of  the  Sherman  antitrust  law

of  these  BUbsidiary  companies  doing  business  in  Kansas,  and 
I  therefore  concluded  to  change  the  pro[K>8ed  criminal  cases 
into  civil-penalty  cases,  and  pursuant  to  which  these  Standard 
Oil  subsidiaries  paid  into  the  school  funds  of  fifty  different 
Kansas  counties  the  sum  of  $500  for  each  county,  a  total  of 
¥25,000. 

The  Cement  Teust.  My  predecessor  had  filed  a  case  in  the 
district  court  of  Sumner  county  against  the  Western  States 
Portland  Cement  Company.  This  I  prosecuted  to  a  conclusion. 
The  court  found  that  the  oflfense  waa  not  a  grave  one,  and 
fined  the  company  $100. 

Other  trust  matters  have  engaged  the  attention  of  the  de- 
partment, and  I  believe  that  the  fact  that  it  was  well  known 
that  the  state  was  on  the  alert  and  ready  and  willing  to  prose- 
cute offenses  under  the  antitrust  law  has  had  a  wholesome  and 
moral  influence  in  checking  and  restraining  the  tendency  to 
such  unlawful  gain  in  this  state  in  violation  of  the  antitrust 
law.  In  the  counties  of  Smith,  Mitchell  and  Norton  this  de- 
partment has  aided  the  county  attorneys  to  check  the  rapacity 
of  the  bridge  trust. 

COLLECTIONS. 

Kansas  had  a  bill  against  the  state  of  Oklahoma  for  $5534.95 
for  supplies  furnished  to  the  Oklahoma  prisoners  at  the  time 
of  their  exodus  from  the  Kansas  state  i>enitentiary.  The  pay- 
ment of  this  had  been  delayed  for  about  two  years.  Early  in 
my  term  I  went  to  Oklahoma  City  and  presented  the  matter 
to  the  claims  and  accounts  committee  of  the  Oklahoma  state 
senate.  In  due  time  the  legislature  of  Oklahoma  made  pro- 
vision for  its  payment,  providing  that  the  account  should  first 
be  investigated  by  the  attorney-general  of  that  state.  I  pre- 
sented the  proper  evidence  in  support  of  our  claim  to  At- 
torney-general West,  who  eventually  approved  the  bill,  and 
the  collection  was  made  for  the  entire  sum,  $5534.95,  and 
turned  over  to  the  treasurer  of  the  state  of  Kansas  on  August 
7,  1911. 

Some  years  ago,  during  Attorney-general  Coleman's  admin- 
istration, acting  as  his  assistant,  I  secured  a  judgment  against 
Day  County,  Oklahoma,  for  the  coupons  and  interest  of  cer- 
tain repudiated  bonds  of  that  county.  When  I  "became  at- 
torney-general I  set  about  the  collection  of  these  and  secured 
a  partial  payment  of  $1085.81,  which  was  immediately  turned

the  legislature  in  recent  years.  Aside  from  these,  there  is 
much  which  needs  attention,  but  my  time  will  permit  me  to 
do  little  more  than  make  general  suggestions. 

Three-foubths  Vesdict.  I  recommend  an  amendment  to 
tiie  constitution  concerning  juries,  so  as  to  provide  for  a  three- 
fourths  verdict,  except  in  felony  cases  where  the  punishment 
is  imprisonment  for  life. 

Civil-penalty  Suits.  I  recommend  a  law  providing  for  a 
suit  for  civil  penalties,  to  be  used  at  the  discretion  of  the 
prosecuting  attorneys,  in  lieu  of  prosecutions  for  misde- 
meanors of  trifling  nature,  such  as  violations  of  the  food  and 
health  regulations,  violations  of  speed  ordinances,  and  the 
like.  Such  suits  should  be  justiciable  without  juries,  and  be 
for  sums  equal  to  the  penalties  imposed  by  the  penal  statutes, 
but  recoverable  aa  civil  judgments;  providing,  of  course,  that 
whenever  the  defendant  raised  constitutional  questions  to 
such  suits  the  prosecutor  should  have  the  right  to  rewrite  his 
pleadings  according  to  the  criminal  code,  and  the  prosecutions 
would  proceed  in  the  old  way.  The  advantages  of  the  civil- 
penalty  suit  are  obvious.  Many  men  would  pay  a  civil  penalty 
for  an  infraction  of  a  statute  without  a  lawsuit  and  be  care- 
ful not  to  violate  the  law  again,  but  they  will  fight  to  the  last 
ditch  before  they  will  plead  guilty  to  a  crime.  This  is  particu- 
larly true  of  a  respectable  hotel  keeper  or  grocer  or  other 
decent  citizen  who  may  unwittingly  have  overstepped  the  law. 
In  Germany  this  distinction  tn  the  penal  law  is  recognized. 
The  Germans  have  a  civil  oflfense  called  "over-stepping," 
which  calls  for  the  payment  of  a  civil  penalty,  but  is  not  con- 
sidered a  disgrace  any  more  than  it  is  in  Kansas  for  the  tax- 
payer to  have  to  pay  a  civil  penalty  for  being  delinquent  in 
his  tax  payments. 

The  committee  on  the  revision  of  criminal  iaw  appointed  by 
the  State  Bar  Association  has  set  forth  the  advantages  of  the

d  patchwork  as  the  Kansas  bridge  law  can  not  be

still  is  a  current  political  discussion  concemins  a  four-year 
term  for  state  and  county  officers,  I  think  I  can  say  with 
propriety  that  it  will  greatly  improve  the  public  service  to 
amend  the  constitution  giving  county  attorneys  a  term  of  four 
years  with  a  disqualification  for  reelection.  Since  the  enact- 
ment of  the  ouster  law  of  1911  no  objectionable  county  attor- 
ney can  remain  in  the  public  service.  This  might  be  supple- 
mented with  a  provision  for  his  recall  if  that  were  considered 
necessary.  A  four-year  term  would  relieve  an  energetic  and 
zealous  prosecuting  attorney  from  the  annoyances  of  a  second 
campaign,  and  would  relieve  a  timid  prosecutor  from  his 
natural  fears  of  political  consequences  growing  out  of  his 
activity.  My  convictions  on  the  subject  are  based  upon  ten 
years'  experience  and  relationship  with  county  attorneys. 
The  same  reform  could  be  instituted  with  like  profit  by  a 
similar  provision  concerning  sheriffs. 

Gabnishmbnts.  The  law  of  garnishment  has  been  fre- 
quently used  in  this  state  for  the  purpose  of  oppressing  rail- 
road employees,  and  I  have  had  much  trouble  in  suppressing 
this  sort  of  injustice.  The  law  should  forbid  the  issuance  of 
garnishment  process  against  any  railroad  employee  on  pub- 
lication service  or  any  other  service  except  personal  service 
issued  out  of  the  court  of  a  magistrate  residing  in  the  vicinity  ■ 
where  the  railroad  employee  has  his  residence.  It  has  not  been 
at  all  uncommon  for  railroad  employees  residing  at  Newton, 
Arkansas  City,  Wichita,  Hutchinson,  Salina,  Oakley,  and  even 
as  far  away  as  Dallas,  Ft.  Worth,  Denver,  Beatrice,  Omaha, 
Sioux  City  and  Chicago,  to  be  subjected  to  suits  before  Wyan- 
dotte county  justices  of  the  peace,  in  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  and  the 
wages  of  these  employees  gamisheed  in  the  hands  of  the  big 
railroad  corporations  which  center  at  Kansas  City.  Publication 
service — wholly  illegal — has  been  used  on  the  employee  and 
personal  garnishment  upon  the  railroad  company,  his  employer, 
and  usually  for  such  small  sums  that  as  a  matter  of  dollars  and 
cents  it  would  be  cheaper  for  the  employee  to  have  default 
judgment  taken  against  him  rather  than  to  hire  a  lawyer  and 
go  to  Kansas  City  to  defend  hia  case.  The  most  high-handed 
and  scandalous  of  these  practices  I  have  succeeded  in  breaking 
up,  but  there  is  still  much  of  this  sort  of  oppression  which 
needs  legislation  to  cure  completely.

better  men  could  be  secured  to  administer  the  necessary  sort 
of  even-handed  justice  which  the  small  debtors  and  creditors' 
require  without  any  salary  at  all.  He  should  be  authorized 
to  subpoena  people  by  mailing  them  a  post  card  or  calling  them 
over  the  telephone  and  requiring  their  appearance,  and  give 
summary  judgment  according  to  the  very  ri^t  of  the  cause, 
just  as  a  parent  or  school  teacher  administers  justice  between 
quarreling  school  boys.  Perhaps  the  constitution  would  require 
that  an  appeal  be  allowed  to  some  court  having  a  jury,  but  I 
am  firmly  convinced  that  the  small  debtors'  court  is  one  of  the 
requirements  of  our  time. 

Escheats.  The  Kansas  constitution  provides  that  the 
estates  of  persons  dying  without  heir  or  will  escheat  to  the 
state  for  the  benefit  of  the  permanent  school  fund.  As  this 
state  increases  in  wealth  there  is  a  constant  growtii  in  the 
amount  of  such  property  which  should  go  to  the  state.  But 
no  adequate  means  are  provided  by  the  state  for  securing  it, 
and  consequently  this  property  is  made  away  with  by  trumped- 
up  bogus  heirs  and  fritted  away  by  extravagant  expenses  of 
probate  adminislTation. 

CRAWFORD  AND  CHEROKEE  COUNTIES.  Crawford  and  Chero- 
kee counties  were  settled  by  fine  old  American  stock  and  were 
originally  devoted  to  agriculture.  But  in  time,  coal,  sine,  lead 
and  other  minerals  were  developed,  and  as  Kansas  men  do  not 
readily  take  to  underground  labor  it  became  necessary  to  bring 
in  thousands  of  miners  from  foreign  lands,  principally  from  the 
countries  about  the  Mediterranean  Sea.  These  people  knew 
little  about  Kansas  laws  and  Kansas  institutioDS.  They  be- 
came the  prey  of  a  small  but  infiuential  class  of  people  who^ 
sold  liquors  in  violation  of  law.  The  open  violation  of  the  pro- 
hibitory law  in  the  mining  districts  of  these  two  counties  con- 
tinued for  over  twenty  years.  Early  in  my  term  I  undertook 
to  stamp  out  this  traffic.  In  Crawford  counly  I  have  been 
tolerably  successful.  In  Cherokee  county  I  can  not  say  so 
much,  although  I  have  made  a  hard  fight.  The  open  saloon 
does  not  exist,  but  there  is  an  enormous  sale  of  intoxicants 
under  the  thin  disguise  of  interstate  commerce  and  otherwise. 
It  has  been  almost  imx>o8sible  for  me  to  get  the  local  auUioritiea 
to  take  vigorous  and  persistent  action  against  the  violators  of 
the  law ;  and  I  have  been  compelled  to  oust  a  number  of  them 
from  office.    This  matter  needs  legislative  attention.

in  the  manner  provided  by  law ;  provided,  that  nothing  in  this 
section  shall  be  construed  either  to  increase  or  diminish  the 
compensation  of  the  attorney-general  during  the  present  term." 

This  bill  was  vetoed  by  the  governor  in  a  message  to  the 
house,  as  follows: 

"State  op  Kansas,  Executive  Dbparthent, 
GovEBNOR's  Office,  March  11,  1911. 

"To  the  House  of  Representatives :  I  return  herewith,  with- 
out my  approval.  House  bill  No.  882,  entitled  'An  act  relating 
to  the  attorney-general's  department,  prescribing  the  compen- 
sation for  the  officers  and  employees  thereof  and  providing 
that  their  fees  in  all  cases  shall  be  turned  into  the  state 
treasuiy,  *nd  repealing  all  acts  and  parts  of  acts  in  conflict 
therewith.' 

"This  bill  on  its  face  is  intended  to  increase  the  salary  of 
the  attorney-general  from  $2500  to  $4000  per  year;  also,  to 
increase  the  salaries  of  two  assistant  attorneys-general  from 
$1600  to  $1800  respectively  to  $2400  per  annum.  It  also  in- 
creases the  salary  of  the  chief  clerk  from  $1200  to  $1600  per 
annum,  and  the  stenographer  from  $900  to  $1200  per  annum, 
and  provides  for  another  stenographer  at  $1200  per  annum, 
and  another  copyist  at  $900  per  annum. 

"It  removes  from  the  attorney-general  one  great  incentive 
to  proscute  persons  by  repealing  the  Jaw  which  now  provides 
that  he  shall  receive  fees  for  prosecuting  persons  who  violate 
the  prohibitory  law,  and  further  provides  that  all  fees  col- 
lected under  this  law  shall  be  turned  into  the  state  treasurj'. 
If  the  fees  are  taken  away  from  the  attorney-general's  office 
by  this  session  of  the  legislature,  it  is  not  unlikely  that  the 
next  session  of  the  legislature  may  proceed  to  take  away  the 
fees  from  the  county  attorneys  and  places  the  entire  burden 
and  expense  of  law  enforcement  upon  the  taxpayers  of  the 
various  counties  of  this  state  instead  of  the  present  law 
whjch  provides  that  the  lawbreakers  themselves  shall  pay  into 
£6urt  the  necessary  expenses  of  prosecution  and  conviction. 

"Paragraph  4378  of  the  General  Statutes  of  Kansas  au- 
thorizes the  attorney-general  to  appoint  as  many  assistants 
as  he  shall  see  fit  to  assist  in  the  enforcement  of  the  pro- 
hibitory law  in  every  county  of  this  state  where  the  county 
attorney  fails  to  do  his  duty.  One  of  the  best  attorneys  in 
Kansas  advises  me  that  in  all  probability  this  bill.  No.  882, 
repeals  the  above  provision  and  leaves  the  attorney-general 
without  authority  to  appoint  assistant  attorneys-general  in 
the  various  counties  throughout  the  state.  Section  2  of  this 
bill  authorizes  the  attorney-general  to  appoint  two  assistant 
attorneys-general  and  section  4  provides  that  'all  acts  and 
parts  of  acts  in  conflict  herewith  are  hereby  repealed.'

"Respectfully  submitted. 

W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor." 
rdially  agree  with  the  governor  that  the  prohibit- 
)uld  be  preserved  intact.  And  unless  tiie  legis- 
jpared  to  make  a  large  increase  in  the  salaries  of 
ittomeys,  their  fees  earned  should  be  left  to  them. 
Hrever,  that  House  bill  No.  882  could  still  with 
i  enacted,  and  the  governor's  fear  that  it  would 
he  attorney-general  the  power  to  appoint  assist- 
force  the  prohibitory  law  could  be  aufliciently 
Jnst  by  a  short  proviso  to  the  effect  that  the  pro- 
hould  never  so  operate  nor  be  subjected  to  such 

be  of  some  value  to  the  legislature  to  say  what 
re.  But  first  I  should  say  that  many  fees  are  al- 
N  which  are  never  collected ;  some  such  fees  may 
:ted  for  several  years.  There  has  actually  come 
ids  fees  allowed  me  by  the  courts  amounting  to 

which  I  have  been  able,  so  far,  to  retain  to  my 
e  the  sum  of  $4454.70.  These  include  fees  aj- 
e  supreme  court  of  the  United  States  in  all  cases 
bate  is  successful ;  some  fees  in  the  state  supreme 
in  the  district  courts  for  liquor,  gambling  and 
ses,  and  in  certain  collection  cases  like  forfeited 
)S  and  for  collection  of  franchise  taxes.  There 
banding  claims  which  will  reduce  my  net  earnings, 
ierable  but  indefinite  amount  of  fees  may  yet  be 

pending  cases  or  already  allowed  by  the  courts 
1.  Conducting  such  an  enormous  amount  of  liti- 
his  report  shows,  it  will  be  apparent  that  the 
ual  contingent  fund  was  inadequate  for  the  need^ 
tment,  and  I  cheerfully  paid  out  these  fees  (which

strictly  were  my  own  moneys)  to  maintain  the  woric  of  the 
department.  Perhaps  the  legislature  intended  tiiat  an  at- 
tomey-sreneral  would  take  some  such  unselfish  view  of  these 
fltlowances  and  that  his  zeal  for  his  work  would  impel  him  to 
spend  a  considerable  part  of  them  to  forward  it 

As  I  shall  have  no  further  personal  interest  in  the  matter, 
fori  will  not  again  be  a  candidate  for  the  office,  I  can  without 
seWahneas  recommend,  and  I  do  recommend,  the  enactment 
Of  some  such  law  as  the  Orr  bill  of  1911. 

But  I  think  the  legislature  might  well  make  the  salary  of 
the  attorney-general  $6000  per  annum.  He  earns  it.  More- 
over, the  work  of  the  department  ia  now  so  great  that  it  takes 
all  his  time ;  he  must  wholly  abandon  his  private  law  practice, 
and  when  he  retires  from  office  it  will  take  him  a  year  or  two 
to  restore  his  private  practice  to  a  fair  income-producing 
basis.  The  attorney-general's  salary  in  other  stetes  runs  usu- 
aily  from  $5000  to  $10,000  per  annum. 

The  salaries  of  the  assistants  should  also  be  doubled,  and 
the  stenographic  force  be  increased.  I  will  be  glad  to  lay  this 
matter  at  length  before  any  legislative  committee  which  may 
interest  itself  in  the  needs  and  affairs  of  the  department. 

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 
.  The  most  cursory  glance  at  this  report  showing  the  wide 
«ctent  of  our  activities  will  prove  that  only  by  securing  as- 
sistants of  the  highest  talents  would  I  have  been  able  to  cope 
with  the  duties  of  this  department.  The  regular  assistants  of 
the  office,  Samuel  N.  Hawkes,  Esq.,  of  Stockton,  and  Senator 
S.  M.  Brewster,  of  Troy,  have  done  the  lion's  share  of  the 
work  on  the  important  state  cases.  These  men  are  lawyers  of 
the  first  rank  among  Kansas  practitioners,  and  the  statfe  of 
Kansas  and  myself  are  under  lasting  obligations  to  them. 
Neither  of  these  gentlemen  has  lost  a  single  case  entrusted  to 
his  charge  during  my  administration. 

My  office  assistant  James  P.  Coleman,  is  an  invaluable  man, 
and  a  very  large  amount  of  the  detail  work  of  the  office,  in- 
cluding the  examination  of  the  issues  of  bonds,  aggregating 
millions  of  dollars  annually,  has  fallen  to  him.  He  has  also 
done  much  of  the  work  preparing  abstracts  and  briefs  for  .the 
supreme  court,  and  has  done  no  small  share  of  the  actual  trial 
practice  in  various  courts  of  the  state.

petroleum  oil  and  its  products  and  other  oi!a,  and  to  explore  for,  miiK 
produce,  purchase,  sell  and  transport  natural  ^s. 

4.  That  the  plaintiff  further  informs  the  court  that  said  defendant 
and  each  of  them  have  wholly  violated  the  rights,  privileges  and  fran 
cbises  of  corporations  and  have  abused  their  powers,  and  have  ead 
abused  their  powers  as  such  corporations,  and  have  exercised  such  cor 
porate  powers  in  the  state  of  Kansas  wholly  in  violation  and  in  con 
travention  of  the  common  law,  statutes  and  public  policy  of  the  state  o 
Kansas,  and  ao  continue  to  do,  as  hereinafter  set  forth. 

5.  That  plaintiff  is  informed  and  believes  that  The  Standard  Oi 
Compan;^  of  New  Jersey  is,  and  was  at  all  times  herein  mentioned  i 
corporation  duly  organized  under  the  laws  of  the  state  of  New  jersej 
having  a  capital  stock  of  $120,000,000 

6.  Plaintiff  avers  that  each  of  the  defendants  have  engaged  in  tb 
business  authorized  by  their  said  charters  within  the  state  of  Kanaai 
and  that  they  are  now  continually  engaging  in  said  business,  c<H]sistin) 
of  dealing  in  and  handling  all  kinds  of  refined  and  erode  petroleum  am 
the  by-products  thereof  in  the  various  counties,  cities  and  villages  o 
the  s^te,  and  that  the  business  transacted  by  said  companies,  being  doni 
at  present,  amounts  to  more  than  S1|000,000. 

7.  That  on  each  and  all  of  said  dates  above  set  forth,  the  defendant 
had  unlawfully  entered  into  a  combination,  contract,  conspiracy  aui 
apvement  with  certain  persons,  firms  and  corporations,  and  with  thi 
directors,  stockholders,  servants,  employees  and  agents  thereof,  as  i: 
hereinafter  more  particularly^  set  forth,  and  had  issued,  caused  to  tx 
iaaned,  and  asaiated  in  issuing,  certain  trust  cerl^ficates  of  stock,  al 
for  the  unlawful  purpose,  effect  and  intent  of  placing  the  managemen' 
of  said  combination  and  the  defendant's  business  in  the  control  of  thi 
trustees  holding  such  trust  certificates,  and  with  the  intent  of  fbcinf 
and  limiting  the  price  of  certain  aiticles  of  commerce,  use  and  con 
sumption  hereinafter  named,  and  to  lessen  the  production  and  sale  ol 
articles  of  commerce,  use  and  consumption,  and  to  prevent,  restrict  ant 
limit  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  such  articles  of  c<mimerce  and  b 
eetablish  a  monopoly  therein  as  hereinafter  more  particularly  describe* 
and  set  forth. 

8.  The  plaintiff  further  alleges  that  the  defendant  corporations  wen 
each  organized  by  the  shareholders  and  directors  thereof  for  the  unlawful 
purpose  of  entermg  into  a  combine,  contract  and  agreement  with  a  viev 
to  preventing  the  sale  and  free  CMnpetititm  in  the  produc^  mannfactan 
and  sale  of  the  articles  of  commerce  described  in  the  artddea  of  iaea^ 
poration  of  said  companies  and  for  the  purpose  of  advancing  and  con- 
trolling the  price  and  cost  thereof  to  the  consumers  and  increasing  and 
controUing  the  price  thereof  to  producers,  within  this  stat«;  and  that 
soon  after  the  organization  of  each  of  the  said  cwnpanies,  the  stock- 
holders therein,  and  the  real  and  true  owners  thereof,  became  the  owners 
in  fact  of  aU  or  nearly  all  of  the  stock  of  each  of  the  said  defendant 
corporations;  and  that  under  and  in  pursuance  of  a  combination,  con- 
tract and  agreement,  trust  certificates  of  the  stock  of  said  defendant 
corporations  were  issued  to  one  and  the  same  person  or  persons,  and  the 
management  and  control  of  the  business  of  each  of  the  defendant  cw- 
porations  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  same  persons,  or  board  or  boards 
of  trustees. 

9.  That  plaintiff  avers  the  facts  to  be  that  all  of  the  stock  of  the  de- 
fendant companies,  whether  now  being  held  by  trustees,  or  in  um  nunc 
of  some  perstm  or  persons  pretending  to  own  the  same,  in  truth  and  in 
fact  belongs  to  and  is  the  property  of  the  said  Standard  Oil  Cwnpany 
of  the  atate  of  New  Jersey  and  that  said  arrangement  has  been  entered

12.  That  soon  after  the  organization  of  defendant  Standard  Oil  Com- 
pany of  Kansas  and  The  Prairie  Oil  and  Gas  Company,  the  exact  time 
plaintiff  is  unable  to  state,  each  of  the  defendants  entered  into  an 
arrangement,  combination  and  agreement  with  each  other,  whereby  the 
defendant.  The  Prairie  Oil  and  Gas  Company,  was  bound  to  sell  all  of 
its  product  and  output  of  commodities  only  to  The  Standard  Oil  Com- 
pany of  Kansas  or  The  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Indiana,  and  wherdtty 
defendant.  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Kansas,  wafi  bound  to  sell  its 
products,  manufactures  and  output  of  commodities  only  to  The  Standard 
Oil  Company  of  Indiana,  and  defendant,  Standard  Oil  Company  of 
Indiana,  became  the  sole  agent  for  the  sale  ana  distribution  to  the  par- 
chasing  public  of  the  products  and  output  of  the  other  defent^nts 
above  named,  and  the  defendant,  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Kansas, 
also  agreed  and  became  bound  by  said  agreement  not  to  purchase  any  of 
the  commadities  in  which  it  was  organized  to  deal  from  any  other 
person  or  Arm  than  the  said  Prairie  Oil  and  Gas  Ccmipany,  and  the 
said  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Indiana  became  bound  not  to  purchase 
any  of  the  commodities  in  which  it  was  organized  to  deal  from  any 
other  person,  finn  or  company  than  the  other  defendants  herein  named. 
That  such  arrangement  and  agreement  then  and  now  constitutes  an 
unlawful  combination  in  restraint  of  trade,  to  fix  and  regulate  prices  of 
said  commodities  within  said  state  and  to  obtain  a  monopoly  in  the 
trade  therein,  and  a  trust  within  the  meaning  of  the  laws  of  Kansas. 
That  plaintiff  is  unable  to  state  whether  said  agreements  were  in  writ- 
ing or  oral,  or  made  in  the  definite  and  precise  form  of  ordinary  and 
usual  legal  contracts  or  agreements,  or  whether  the  said  agreements 
were  the  result  of  the  stock  and  assets  of  said  companies  being  held  and 
controlled  by  the  same  person,  persons  or  board  of  managing  directors 
or  trustees  and  the  result  of  the  carrying  out  of  the  unlawful  purposes, 
intent  and  agreements  under  which  defendant  corporations  were  or-- 
ganized,  but  plaintiff  alleges  that  said  understanding,  combination  and 
agreement  does  in  fact  exist  and  defendant  corporations  are  in  fact  act- 
ing under  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  same  in  violation  of  the 
common  law,  the  public  policy  and  the  statutes  of  Kansas. 

13.  Your  informant  further  states  that  defendants  herein  and  the 
Standard  Oil  Company  of  New  Jersey,  by  reason  of  said  combination, 
pool,  trust  and  understanding,  and  the  acts  done  in  furtherance  and  in 
pursuance  thereof,  as  herein  stated,  have  been  able  to  control  and  supply, 
and  do  control  and  supply,  to  the  retail  dealers  and  to  the  general

petroleum  offered  for  sale  and  sold  and  transported  for  general  consump- 
tion in  the  state  of  Kansas;  and  that  by  virtue  of  said  pool,  trust,  agree- 
ment, combination,  confederation  and  understanding  so  entered  into  by 
said  defendants  as  aforesaid,  and  by  reaEon  of  the  acts  hereinbefore 
described,  so  done  by  said  defendants  in  pursuance  of  and  in  the  en- 
forcement of  said  pool,  trust,  agreement  and  understanding,  they  have 
been  able  to  control,  and  do  control,  the  prices  of  the  products  of  pe- 
troleum in  the  state  of  Kansas,  and  they  do  prevent,  and  have  prevented,

of  pipe-lines  for  transporting  oil  and  the  development  of  the  oil-produc- 
ing fields  of  Kansas  by  said  defendants,  each  pretending  to  act  as 
separate  and  competing  companies,  and  at  the  same  time  observing  and 
carrying  out  the  said  unlawful  combinations  and.  secret  understandings 
of  dealing  exclusively  with  each  other,  the  defendants  have  secured  com-

and  the  selling  and  supplying  of  the  same  to  consumers  throughout  the 
state  of  Kansas,  and  have  stifled  the  production,  trade  and  competition

REPORT  OF  L.   W.   KEPLINGER,   COMMISSIONER   OF 
THE  SUPREME  COURT.    FILED  JUNE  11,  1912. 

In  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of  Kansas. 
The  State  of  Kansas,  Plaintitf, 
Standard  Oil  Company,  et  al.,  Defendante. 


1.  Th«  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Ohio  was  orgaiuzed  in  1870.  Its 
objects  and  purposes  were  to  carry  on  various  branches  of  the  oil 
business. 

2.  Prior  to  187(1,  the  said  Ohio  Company  and  its  stockholders  had 
adopted  the  policy  of  organizing  other  like  corporations  in  various 
localities,  also  of  acquiring  stock  in  such  corporations,  sometimes  all, 
sometimes  a  majority,  and  sometimes  less,  in  other  like  corporations 
and  in  partnerships  engaged  in  such  business,  also  sometimes  physical 

?ropertie8  suitable  for  use  in  such  business.  Such  acquisitions  were  paid 
or  by  the  Ohio  Company  or  out  of  the  profits  arising  from  the  opera- 
tion of  like  properties,  but  the  title  and  control  thereof  was  taken  to 
and  held  by  various  individual  trustees,  who  held,  managed,  used  and 
operated  the  same,  not  for  the  Ohio  Company  but  for  the  individual 
stockholders  thereof,  whose  interest  therein  was  in  proportion  to  the 
amount  of  stock  held  by  them  respectively  in  the  Ohio  Company. 

3.  The  stock  of  the  Ohio  Company,  originally  fl,OOO,O00,  was  in- 
creased to  f2,500,000  in  1876,  and  to  $3,500,000  in  1879,  at  which  figure 
it  has  ever  since  remained. 

4.  In  1879,  for  the  purpose  of  securing  a  more  complete  unification  in 
the  handling  of  the  trust  properties  mentioned  in  the  preceding  find- 
ings and  to  provide  for  an  administrative  oversight  of  them,  an  agre^ 
ment  was  entered  into  by  the  stockholdera  of  the  Ohio  Company  and 
Messrs.  Vilas,  Keith  and  Chester,  who  were  to  hold  in  trust  for  the  stock- 
holders  of  the  Ohio  Company,  whose  interests  were  to  be  in  proportion 
to  the  amount  of  stock  held  by  them  respectively  in  said  company,  and 
to  divide  and  distribute  the  same  between  said  beneficiaries  as  soon  as 
they  could  conveniently  do  so. 

5.  Only  a  part  of  the  agreement  mentioned  in  the  preceding  finding, 
which  agreement  is  known  as  the  Vilas,  Keith  and  Chester  agreement, 
is  in  evidence,  and  the  preciEe  duties  of  the  trustees  therein  named  do 
not  appear,  but  in  fact  the  trust  did  not  terminate  until  1882.  While 
holding  as  such  trustees,  Vilas,  Keith  and  Chester  received  the  physical 
properties,  the  stocks  and  interests  theretofore  held  by  such  individual 
trustees,  and  managed  and  operated  the  same,  and  out  of  the  profits 
arising  from  such  operation  they  organized  other  corporations,  taking 
all  of  the  stock;  also  they  sometimes  t«ak  a  majority,  and  smnetiines 
less,  in  other  corporations  engaged  in  different  branches  of  the  oil 
business,  until  in  the  early  part  of  1882,  at  which  time  the  total  value 
of  the  trust  properties  held  by  them,  including  the  value  of  the  stock  of 
the  Ohio  Company,  amounted  to  $70,000,000. 

6.  In  the  early  part  of  1882  an  agreement  known  as  the  trust  agree- 
ment was  entered  mto  by  the  Ohio  Comnany  and  its  stockholdera,  who 
were  the  beneficiaries  of  the  Vilas,  Keitii  and  Chester  agreement,  and 
Vilas,  Keith  and  Chester.  This  agreement  is  not  in  evidence,  but  tiie 
evidence  shows  that  it  was  the  culmination  of  efforts,  of  which  the  Vilas, 
Keith  and  Chester  agreement  was  the  initial  step,  to  provide  for  a  more

H.  M.  Flagler,  Paul  Babcock,  jr.,  Jamea  McGee,  Thos.  C.  Busfanell, 
each  one  share. 

John  D.  Rockefeller,  William  Rockefeller,  J.  A.  Bostwick,  John  D. 
Archhold,  0.  H.  Payne.  William  G.  Warden,  Benjamin  Brewator,  Charles 
Pratt  and  H.  M.  Flagler,  trustees  of  the  Standard  Oil  Trust,  nine  hun- 
dred and  ninety-six  shares. 

The  objects  and  purposes  of  said  corporation,  as  stated  in  its  charter, 
were,  "the  refining  of  petroleum;  the  manufacture  of  the  various  pro- 
ducts thereof;  the  purchasing  of  the  crude  material  and  the  ssle  of 
manufactured  products  thereof;  the  manufacture  of  bariela,  boxes,  cans 
and  other  packages  in  which  the  manufactured  products  may  be  kept 
or  transported ;  the  manufacture  and  restoration  of  acids  and  whatever 
other  substances  may  be  used  in  the  manufacture  of  petroleum," 

12.  Among  the  corporations  organized  by  the  Standard  Oil  Trust  was 
th«  defendant,  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Indiana. 

The  defendant  the  Standard  Oil  Company,  an  Indiana  corporation, 
hereinafter  called  the  "Indiana  Company,"  is  a  corporation,  and  was 
organized  aa  such  under  t^e  laws  of  the  state  of  Indiana  on  the  18th  day 
of  June,  1889,  with  a  capital  stock  of  $500,000,  which,  on  April  14th, 
1892,  was  increased  to  {1,000,000.  It  commenced  doing  business  in 
the  state  of  Kansas  on  the  first  day  of  March,  1896,  and  has  been  so 
engaged  continuously  ever  since.  Prior  to  said  first  day  of  March, 
1896,  the  Indiana  Company  had  never  engaged  in  or  transacted  any 
business  within  the  state  of  Kansas.  The  Charter  Board  granted  it  a 
license  to  engage  in  business  in  the  state  of  Kansas  as  a  foreign  cor- 
poration on  the  18th  day  of  March,  1903.  Its  annual  reports  for  each 
succeeding  year  have  been  duly  filed  and  approved.  Its  corporate 
powers  are  as  fallows: 

To  manufacture  the  products  of  crude  petroleum;  to  transport  and 
sell  the  same;  to  manufacture  barrels  and  packages  for  containing  said 
products;  to  erect  necessary  buildings  and  manufacture  the  necessary 
machinery  in  carrying  on  the  business  specified. 

13.  The  Standard  Oil  Trust,  organized  in  1882,  practically  owned 
all  of  the  stock  of  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Indiana.  In  March, 
1892,  the  stock  of  this  company  was  increased  to  one  million  dollars, 
practically  all  of  it  being  owned  by  the  Standard  Oil  Trust.  The 
original  stock  of  this  company,  first  {500,000,  was  afterwards  increased 
to  $1,000,000.  Practically  all  of  this  stock  waa  held  by  the  trust  so 
long  as  the  trust  continued  to  exist. 

14.  Among  the  corporations  organized  by  the  trust,  as  before  stated, 
was  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Kentucky.  This  company  was  or- 
ganized in  1886  and  alt  of  its  stock  taken  and  held  by  the  trustees  of  the 
trust  of  1882. 

16.  The  National  Transit  Company  is  a  corporation,  and  was  incorpo- 
rated and  organized  under  the  laws  of  the  state  of  Pennsylvania  on  the 
30th  day  of  April,  1881,  and  under  its  charter  and  the  laws  of  the  state  of 
Pennsylvania  is  authorized  to  engage  in  and  has  and  is  engaged  in 
many  kinds  of  business,  among  which  are  the  following,  to  wit:  To 
purchase,  hold,  sell,  assign,  mortgage,  pledge  or  otherwise  dispose  of 
the  shares  of  capital  or  of  bonds,  securities  or  evidences  of  indebtedness 
created  by  any  other  corporation  or  corporations  of  the  state  of  Penn- 
sylvania or  any  other  state,  and  while  the  owner  thereof,  to  exercise  all 
the  rights  and  privileges  of  ownership,  including  the  right  to  vote 
thereon. 

16.  Most  of  the  stock  of  the  National  Transit  Company  belonged  to 
Vilas,  Keith  and  Chester,  Trustees.  The  remainder  was  acquired  by  the 
trustees  under  the  trust  agreement  of  1882. 

17.  Sometime  prior  to  March,  1892,  a  decision  of  some  kind  I^  the 
supreme  court  of  Ohio  necessiated  a  dissolution  of  the  Trust  of  1S82. 
Such  dissolution  began  in  March,  1892,  but  was  not  completed  until  1899.

pany. 

26.  That  the  New  Jersey  Company  is  now  and  ever  since  its  organi- 
sation has  b«en  extensively  engafced  in  the  operation  of  refineries  and 
the  transportation  and  marketing  of  the  manufactured  products  of  crude 
petroleum. 

27.  The  KanaflB  Company  owns  and  operates  a  refinery  at  Neodesha, 
"Wilson  county,  Kansas,  built  in  1897;  it  receives  crude  petroleum  there, 
from  which  it  manufactures  refined  or  iltuminatinK  oils,  gasoline,  road 
and  fuel  oils;  it  consumes  about  three  million  barrels  of  crude  oil 
annually,  all  of  which  is  produced  in  Kansas  and  Oklahoma. 

The  Kansas  Coiiipany  has  never  engaged  in  any  business  other  than 
that  above  described. 

The  entire  capital  of  the  Kansas  Company  is  invested  and  employed 
in  its  refinery  and  the  operation  thereof. 

28.  The  New  Jersey  Company  practically  owns  all  and  owns  prac- 
tically alt  of  the  stock  of  the  Kansas  Company,  the  Indiana  Company, 
the  Prairie  Oil  and  Gas  Company,  and  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of 
Kentucky  and  the  National  Transit  Company. 

29.  The  National  Transit  Ctmipany,  as  representative  of  the  New 
Jersey  Company,  owns  practically  all  and  practically  does  own  all  of 
the  stock  in  the  Prairie  Oil  and  Gas  Company. 

30.  The  evidence  shows  that  the  organization  of  each  of  the  defendant 
companies  herein  was  caused  and  procured  by  the  New  Jersey  Company, 
except  that  the  Indiana  Company  was  organized  by  the  trustees  of  the 
1882  trust. 

31.  It  was  the  intention  of  the  creators  of  each  of  the  defendant 
companies  that  there  should  never  be  any  competition  between  them,  and 
there  never  has  been  any  competition  between  them,  and  there  never 
has  been  any  intention  on  the  part  of  either  of  the  defendants  to  en- 
gage in  any  bufiness  engaged  in  or  carried  on  by  either  of  the  other 
defendants. 

32.  The  stock  of  the  several  defendants  was  in  fact  issued  to  vari- 
ous individuals,  and  the  names  of  the  Kentucky  Company,  of  the  New 
Jersey  Company  and  of  the  Nationul  Transit  Company  do  not  appear 
-upon  the  records  of  the  defendant  companies,  but  Euch  stocks  are  in 
fact  held  in  trust  for  the  New  Jersey  Company.  Aside  from  mch 
inferences,  if  any,  as  may  be  drawn  from  these  facts,  there  is  no  evi- 
.dence  that  defendants  herein,  or  either  of  them,  ever  issued  or  caused 
to  be  issued  or  assisted  in  issuing  trust  ceitificates  of  stock  for  any 
purpose. 

33.  The  only  business  dealings  which  the  defendants  have  with  each 
other,  as  shown  by  the  evidence,  is  as  follows: 

The  Prairie  Company  sell.s  crude  petroleum  to  each  of  the  other  de- 
fendants; the  Kansas  Company  purchascK  crude  petroleum  from  the 
Prairie  Company,  as  aforesaid,  and  sells  the  manufactured  products 
■thereof  to  the  Indiana  Company;  the  Indiana  Company  purchases  crude 
petroleum  from  the  Prairie  Company  and  buys  manufactured  products 
from  the  Kansas  Company,  and  all  of  said  sales  and  purchases  so  made 
by  and  between  said  companies,  so  far  as  formalities  are  concerned  and 
to  all  outward  appearances,  are  made  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business 
and  as  similar  transactions  are  ordinarily  made,  conducted  and  per- 
■  formed  between  other  merchants. 

In  case  of  sales  from  one  to  another  of  the  defendants,  each  of  Oie 
parties  knew  the  fact  to  be,  and  the  fact  was,  that  the  stockholden  (^  the 
New  Jersey  Company  were  the  ultimate  beneficiaries  of  the  deal,  what- 
ever may  have  been  the  price  agi'eed  upon. 

34.  The  Kansas  Company  is  the  legal  owner  of  and  operates  a  re- 
finery at  Neodesha,  Wilson  county,  Kansas,  which  was  built  in  1897.

thousands  of  dollars  experimenting  with  gasoline-consuming 
ires,  engines  and  lighting  statitms  and  appliances.  Th« 
gasoline  now  exceeds  the  demand  for  kerosene,  and  as  only 
nount  of  each  can  be  produced  from  the  crude,  the  sale  of 
'uming  devices  became  needless  and  was  abandoned  five  years

and  to  create  a  demand  for  the  products  of  petroleum  for  Inbrieatiiis 
purposes  it  employed  and  sent  ont  a  U^re  number  of  mechanical  engi- 
neetB  and  experts  to  make  practical  and  scientific  demonstrations.  Oils 
produced  from  petroleum  are  now  recognized  as  the  best  lubricants 
known.

the  past  twenty  years  in  the  machinery  and  processes  by  which  the  vsri- 
OUB  grades  of  crude  oils  are  treated  and  the  manu»ctured  products 
thereof  produced.     The   Indiana   Company  maintains,   for  the  especial 

eirpose  of  prnnoting  such  improvements,  an  experimental  department 
cnarge  of  five  eicpert  mechanics  and  five  competent  ehcfnists,  and  has 
during  said  twenty  years  expended  over  one  million  dollars  in  carrying 
forward  said  experimental  work.  The  improved  machinery,  appUsmees 
and  processes  employed  in  the  operation  of  its  refineries  were  all  die- 
covered  and  devised  by  Standard  Oil  employees.

sale  of  any  of  its  products  any  patented  machinery,  processes  or  devices 
which  are  not  open  to  the  free  use  of  its  competitors,  neither  does  the 
Kansas  Company  in  the  operation  of  its  refinery  at  Neode^ha. 

44.  Generally  speaking,  there  are  six  oil  fields  in  the  United  States, 
which,  in  the  order  of  their  relative  qualily  and  values  are,  one,  Penn- 
sylvania, including  West  Virginia;  two,  Ohio-Indiana,  which  includes  the 
so-called  Lima  oil;  three,  Illinois;  four,  Kansas- Oklahoma;  five,  Texas; 
and  six,  California. 

45.  The  crude  oil  from  the  Pennsylvania  field  is  most  valuable, 
because  it  yields  the  largest  percentage  of  naphtha  and  illuminating  oils, 
and  about  the  same  amount  of  paraffine  as  that  of  Ohio.  The  crude 
from  the  Illinois  and  Kansas-Oklahoma  fields  contains  naphtha,  illumi- 
nating and  lubricating  oils  and  parffine  of  as  good  quality  but  less  in 
quantity. 

The  naphtha,  illuminating  and  lubricating  oils  are  relatively  the  most 
valuable  parts  of  crude  oil,  the  remainder  being  sold  at  less  per  gallon 
than  the  crude  oil  costs. 

46.  The  commercial  tests  of  refined  oil  are,  (1)  flash,  (2)  burning, 
(8)  gravity,  (4)  wick-eljmbing  power,  (B)  color,  (6)  lamp,  and  to  some 
extent  (7)  photometric. 

The  value  of  the  flash  test  is  to  ascertain  whether  the  oil  is  safe  under 
ordinary  conditions  for  domestic  u?e,  and  does  not  indicate  the  quality. 
It  is  made  by  heating  the  oil  and  applying  a  flame.  To  ascertain  the 
t«nperature  at  which  it  fiaEhes,  that  ie,  make  a  little  puff  and  go  out,  is 
the  object  of  the  flash  test.  Then  the  object  of  the  burning  test  is  to 
ascertain  the  point  or  temperature  at  which  the  oil  will  take  fire  and 
bum — which  is  higher.  The  flaeh  and  burning  tests  are  auxiliary,  and 
the  application  of  either  one  indicates  what  the  other  will  be. 

The  gravity  test  is  valueless  unless  the  field  in  which  the  crude,  from 
which  tile  refined  oil  came,  is  known,  and  nothing  is  gained  hy  --om- 
paring  the  specific  gravity  of  oils  produced  from  the  crude  of  different 
fields.  The  specific  gravity  of  an  oil  is  merely  its  weight  as  compared 
with  water  per  unit  of  volume.  When  this  test  is  applied  to  two  refined 
oils  produced  from  crude  from  the  same  field,  the  cue  of  lighter  gravity 
will  climb  the  wick  more  rapidly. 

The  wick-climbing  power  test  is  to  ascertain  the  freedwn  with  which 
the  oil  flows  through  the  wick. 

The  color  test  is  employed  to  ascertain  the  extent  to  which  the  oil 
contains  foreign  fubstan?es  or  impurities.  The  whiter  the  color — the 
more  nearly  it  resembles  water — the  better. 

461A.  By  the  photometric  test  the  candlepower  of  illuminating  oil  is 
measured,  but  to  be  of  value,  in  a  comparative  sense,  the  amount  of  oil 
consumed  must  also  be  measured.

oil,  and  refers  merely  to  the  manner  in  which  it  behaves 
g  in  the  lamp  and  the  results  thus  produced. 
aaers  and  consumers  were  prejudiced  against  refined  oil  and 
lufactured    from    the    Kansas-Oklahoma   crude   during   the 

of  that  field,  because  of  its  low  gravity  as  compared  with 
lylvania  and  Ohio.  The  Indiana  Company,  to  overcome  that 
d  convince  consumers  that  the  specific  gravity  had  nothing 
le  burning  qualities  or  safety  of  the  oil,  sent  experts  out  to 
trationa  and  practical  tests,  and  as  the  result  of  such  efforts 
•t  the  refined  oil  and  gasoline  now  sold  by  the  Indiana  Com- 
ten  states  in  which  it  does  a  marketing  business  is  manu- 
n  crude  oil  produced  in  the  Kansas- Oklahoma  field.

!w  feature  of  the  oil  business.     The  Indiana  Company  has

and  as  an  additional  inducement  for  the  owners  of  power

demand  for  more  Uian  one  grade  of  illuminating  oil  additional  tanks  are 
installed.  There  is  also  a  warehouse,  depending  in  size  upim  the  amount 
of  business,  and  tank  wagons  (divided  into  compartments)  sufficient  in 
number  to  supply  the  trade,  net  only  in  the  town  where  the  station  is 
located,  but  also  adjacent  points  from  ten  to  twenty  miles  distant.  Oil 
is  shipped  in  tank  cars  to  these  stations,  emptied  into  the  aforesaid 
tanks,  and  from  there  drawn  off  into  the  tank  wagons  and  distributed. 
The  tank-wagon  buckets  into  which  the  oil  is  drawn  from  the  tank 
wagons  and  measured  to  the  dealer  are,  when  sent  to  the  stations,  sealed 
with  the  government  seal  from  Washington,  D.  C,  and  are  full  standard 
mea'^ure.  Agents  are  not  permitted  to  purchase  or  use  any  other  buckets 
or  measuring  devices.  Each  tank  wagon  is  provided  with  a  device  for 
counting  the  number  of  buck.ets  drawn  off,  and  carelessness  or  inattention 
of  the  Bf-ent  cperating  same  wculd  benefit  the  customer  and  not  the 
company. 

The  Indiana  Company's  salesmen  in  Kfinsas  each  have  charge  of,  and 
are  responsible  for,  five  or  six  of  these  tank  stations,  and  in  addition 
call  on  the  trade  to  fee  that  supplies  are  furnished  promptly  and  the 
business  diligently  taken  care  of.  Over  the  salesmen  are  managers,  one 
of  whom  is  located  in  Wichita,  cue  at  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  and  one  in 
St.  Joseph,  Mo.  Jt  is  the  duty  of  the  managers  to  supervise  and  direct 
the  operations  of  the  other  agents  and  salesmen.  The  company's  general 
officers,  stationed  at  Chicago,  have  supervision  over  the  entire  selling 
organization,  and  have  under  them  vanous  departments  and  department 
heads,  each  of  whom  looks  particularly  after  the  line  of  business  com- 
mitted to  his  special  charge.  These  departments  are  known  as  "lubri- 
cating department,"  "atove  and  lamp  department,"  "purchasing  depart- 
ment," "traffic  department,"  "fuel  oil  department"  and  "road  oil  depart- 
ment." The  genera!  manager,  in  company  with  heads  of  departments, 
visits  the  various  managers  at  leaft  twi;e  each  year,  and  there  confers 
with  the  salesmen  and  agents  with  the  view  of  improving  the  service  and 
method  of  taking  care  of  the  business. 

57.  The  competitors  of  the  Indiana  Company  also  maintain  tank  sta- 
tions in  the  state  of  Kansas  similar  in  character  but  fewer  in  number 
and  less  extensi\e  and  efficient. 

58.  By  means  of  its  system  of  tank-wagon  deliveries  the  Indiana 
Company  places  oil  in  the  tanks  of  retail  dealers  in  such  a  way  as  to 
enable  the  latter  to  sell  and  dispose  of  same  without  having  to  handle 
more  than  once,  i.  e.,  when  drawn  off  for  the  customer. 

59.  Seventy-five  per  cent  of  the  refined  oil  and  gasoline  which  the 
Indiana  Company  sells  in  the  state  of  Kansas  is  manufactured  by  the 
Kansas  Company  at  Neodesha;  the  other  25  per  cent  is  manufactured  by 
the  Indiana  Company  at  Sugar  Creek. 

60.  Two  grades  of  illuminating  oil  are  sold  by  the  Indiana  Company 
in  Kansas,  i,  e.,  Perfection  and  Standard  White,  sometimes  referred  to 
in  the  refineries  as  Water  White  and  Prime  White,  respectively.  These 
brands  have  both  been  sold  for  more  than  ten  years,  and  represent  sepa- 
rate and  distinct  grades.  The  Perfection  is  the  better  of  the  two.  Its 
wick-climbing  power  is  greater  by  about  one  hundred  points,  thus  pro- 
ducing better  combustion,  lees  wick  char  and  leas  discoloration  of  the 
chimney.  The  Standard  White  has  more  paraffine  and  other  foreign 
rubstances  in  it,  and  in  winter  these  chill  and  congeal  and  prevent  a  free 
flow  through  the  wick.  The  specific  gravity  of  Perfection  is  about  43, 
that  of  Standkrd  White  is  about  40.  The  color  of  Perfection  is  better  by 
four  or  five  shares,  and  25  per  cent  more  Standard  White  can  be  taken 
from  a  given  amount  of  crude. 

61.  The  Indiana  Company  does  not  deliver  all  of  the  refined  oil  and 
gasoline  which  it  sells  in  Kansas  by  tank  wagons.  Where  sales  are  made 
of  grades  not  carried  at  the  nearest  tank  station  or  at  points  to  which 
a  tank  wagon  does  not  go,  shipments  are  made  in  barrels — wooden  and 
iron.    Where  wooden  barrels  are  employed,  they  become  the  property  of

made  a  net  gain  of  8  per  cent  of  all  oil  consumed  in  Kansas  during  the 
year." 

"The  reports  on  file  in  this  office  and  in  the  state  auditor's  ofBce  show 
that  during  the  year  ending  November  30,  1909,  there  has  been  inspected 
by  this  department  248,568  barrels  of  oil  and  210,496  barrels  of  gasoline, 
making  a  total  of  459,064  barrels  of  oil  and  gasoline.  By  referring  to 
former  reports  of  this  department  it  will  be  noted  that  this  ia  an  increase 
of  TT,218  barrels  more  of  oil  and  gasoline  inspected  during  the  year  1909 
over  that  of  1008.  The  independent  refineries  located  within  this  state 
furnished  and  submitted  to  this  department  for  inspection,  during  the 
year  1909,  T7,290  barrels  of  oil  and  48,623  barrels  of  gasoline,  making  a 
total  of  121,613  barrels,  or  26  per  cent  of  the  total  amount  of  all  oil  and 
gasoline  inspected  during  the  year  1909.  The  independent  refineries  in 
the  year  1908  submitted  to  this  department  for  inspection  80,615  barrels 
of  oil  and  gasoline.  From  this  it  will  be  noted  that  the  independent  pro- 
duction in  Kansas  has  made  a  net  gain  of  40,998  barrels  of  oil  and  gaso- 
line during  the  year  1909,  and  a  net  gain  of  8  per  cent  of  all  oil  con- 
sumed in  Kansas  during  Uie  year  1909." 

67.  In  addition  to  the  refined  oil  and  gasoline  marketed  in  Kansas  in 
1909,  as  shown  by  the  inspector's  reports  hereinbefore  referred  to,  the 
Indiana  Company  sold  in  the  state  of  Kansas  2,402  barrels  of  road  oil, 
37,494  barrels  of  lubricating  oils,  and  247,838  barrels  of  fuel  <h1. 

68.  The  prices  at  which  the  Indiana  Company  sells  refined  oil  and 
gasoline  in  Kansas  and  Missouri  are  cheaper  tnan  those  at  which  it  sells 
same  in  other  states  further  removed  from  refineries  and  crude-oil  fields, 
but  are  no  less  than  the  prices  in  states  situated  at  equal  distances  from 
said  refineries  and  crude-oil  fields. 

69.  The  Indiana  Company  sells  oil  in  Kansas  and  elsewhere  at  a 
uniform  net  price  regardless  of  quantity,  fixing  its  prices  in  the  manner 
following,  to  wit;  Uniform  prices  are  made  at  the  refineries  by  its  gen- 
eral manager,  and  to  these  are  added  the  actual  cost  of  transportation 
to  the  purchaser.  This  method  of  price  making  has  been  employed  for 
ten  years  last  past. 

70.  The  Indiana  Company  sells,  and  ever  since  it  commenced  business 
in  Kansas  has  sold,  the  commodities  in  which  it  deals  at  uniform  prices 
throughout  the  state  of  Kansas,  and  does  not  cut  the  price  in  any  locality 
or  to  any  individual  for  the  purpose  of  getting  business. 

71.  It  is  the  custom  of  the  Indiana  Company  in  marketing  ita  products 
to  endeavor  to  increase  the  demand  and  sale  for  the  grades  of  oil  of 
which  relatively  the  least  is  being  sold.  Various  means  are  employed  to 
achieve  that  end,  Prices  are  lowered,  expert  salesmen  and  demon- 
strators are  put  into  the  field,  and  extensive  advertising  campaigns 
inaugurated.  In  order  to  receive  the  same  net  return  from  its  aggre- 
gate sates,  the  Indiana  Company,  when  it  thus  reduced  the  price,  in- 
creased it  on  the  item  for  which  there  is  an  excessive  demand.  It  has 
thus  frequently  happened  during  recent  years,  when  the  demand  for 
gasoline  has  exceeded  that  for  illuminating  oil,  that  the  price  of  gasoline 
has  been  increased  end  at  the  same  time  that  of  illuminating  oil  corre- 
spondingly decreased. 

72.  The  Indiana  Company  does  not  in  the  sale  and  distribution  of 
the  commodities  handled  by  it  require  dealers  to  refrain  from  handling 
similar  products  sold  and  distributed  in  the  state  of  Kansas  by  its  com- 
petitors; on  the  contrary,  it  appears  from  the  evidence  that  many  of  the 
dealers  who  purchased  oils  from  the  Indiana  Company  were  at  the  same 
time  purchasing  and  handling  oils  procured  from  other  concerns. 

73.  The  facilities  of  the  Indiana  Company  for  sale  and  distribution 
of  oils  are  superior  to  those  of  any  of  its  competitors,  and  by  reason  of 
the  quality  of  its  oils  and  prices  as  compared  with  those  of  ita  com- 
petitors, and  superior  service  rendered  in  supplying  its  patrons,  retail

the  tank  and  the  company's  line,  which  enables  the  oil  to  be  pumped  from 
the  tank  into  the  line;  and  after  the  tank  JG  emptied  or  its  contents 
nearly  removed,  such  employee  of  the  company  goes  ba:^k  upon  the  tank

purchasing;  agency  receive  pay  for  the  same  at  the  regular  posted  market 
price  on  the  day  of  such  application.  When  the  amount  af  oil  so  receded 
by  the  company  on  any  day  exceeds  the  capacity  of  its  pipe  lines  or  the 
requirements  of  the  market,  then  and  in  that  case  such  excess  is  gathered 
into  storage  tanks.  These  storage  tanks  are  conftructed  of  steel,  and 
they  have  capacities  ranging  from  Z6,000  barrels  to  50,000  barrels.  They 
usually  are  grouped  together  upon  lands  owned  or  leased  by  the  com- 
pany, and  such  groups  of  steel  Ftorage  tanks  are  designated  and  known 
as  "tank  farms,"  embracing  from  eighty  acres  to  several  hundred  acres 
each,  and  in  some  instances  containing  several  hundred  such  steel  tanks, 
wherein  there  is  now  stored  about  43,000,000  barrels  of  crude  petroleum 
owned  by  the  Prairie  Company,  which  has  been  produced  in  the  Kansas 
and  Oklahoma  (ields  in  excess  of  the  market  demands  and  the  capacity 
of  the  company's  pipe  lines.  These  pipe  lines  are  operated  every  hour  of 
every  day  in  the  year  (except  when  such  operation  is  temporarily  pre- 
vented by  accident),  and  by  means  of  connections  with  other  pipe  lines 
in  the  state  of  Indiana  the  Prairie  Company  is  able  to  and  does  market 
and  deliver  its  crude  petroleum  at  various  points  in  the  states  of  New 
York,  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania. 

80.  The  Prairie  Company  sells  the  crude  petroleum  produced  and 
purchased  by  it  to  the  Kansas  Company  at  Neodesha,  to  the  Indiana 
Company  at  Sugar  Creek,  Mo,,  and  Whiting,  Ind.,  to  the  Security  Oil 
Company  at  Beaumont,  Texas,  to  the  Atlantic  Refining  Company  at 
Philadelphia,  Pa.,  to  the  Atlas  Works  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  to  tJie  New 
Jersey  Company  at  Baynonne,  N.  J.,  and  to  P.  S.  Trainer.  About  aixty 
per  cent  of  the  oil  sold  by  the  Prairie  Ccmpany  is  sold  to  the  Kansas 
Company  and  the  Indiana  Company,  its  codefendants  herein,  and  about 
forty  per  cent  of  the  same  is  sold  to  other  parties. 

81.  Of  the  authorized  capital  stock  of  the  Prairie  Company  there 
has  been  submitted,  paid  for  and  issued  fifteen  milliom  dollars. 

82.  The  Prairie  Company,  under  and  in  pursuance  of  the  authority 
granted  by  its  charter,  has  expended  all  of  its  available  capital  and  re- 
sources in  the  construction  of  lines  of  pipe  and  tanks  for  the  transporta- 
tion and  storage  of  crude  petroleum  and  for  the  purchase  of  such  oil  from 
producers,  except  a  comparatively  small  sum  which  has  been  expended 
for  mining  and  producing  oil. 

83.  The  Prairie  Company  does  not  have  and  never  has  had  any 
facilities  foi  the  manufacturing  or  marketing  of  refined  oil  or  other 
petroleum  products. 

84.  The  Indiana  Company  does  not  own  or  control  any  pipe  lines  or 
producing  oil  properties  and  has  no  facilities  for  manufacturing  or  re- 
fining oil  or  other  petroleum  products  in  Kansas. 

85.  The  Kansas  Company  does  not  have  and  never  has  had  any  tank- 
wagon  stations  for  the  distribution  and  sale  of  manufactured  products  of 
petroleum,  or  any  producing  oil  properties. 

86.  While  the  Prairie  Company  has,  by  virtue  of  its  charter,  authority 
to  engage  in  other  business  than  the  construction  of  lines  of  pipe  and 
tanks  for  the  transportation  and  storage  of  crude  petroleum,  and  the 
purchase  of  oil  from  producers,  and  mining  and  producing  oil  and  gas.

producers  of  oil  at  Chanute  appealed  to  W.  J.  Young,  then  president  of 
the  Prairie  Company,  and  requested  that  said  company  extend  its  pipe 
lines  to  the  Chanute  Aeld,  or  erect  storage  tanks  there  and  purchase  tne 
oil  that  was  being  produced  in  that  field. 

99.  About  February  10,  1902,  W,  J.  Young  made  the  following 
promise  on  behalf  of  Uie  Prairie  Company  to  iT  F.  Lea,  representing 
the  citizens  of  Chanute  and  producers  in  that  vicinity,  to  wit: 

"I  feel  confident  in  saying  to  you  and  other  companies  that  are  pro- 
ducing around  Chanute,  that  in  the  near  future,  as  soon  as  we  can  move 
the  tank,  we  will  put  up  one  at  Chanute  and  will  take  the  production 
within  one  and  one-half  to  two  miles  of  the  town,  at  the  price  paid  at  the 
wells  in  Neodesha  less  20  cents  per  barrel  to  cover  a  possible  freighting 
of  the  same  to  Neodesha;  as  soon  as  the  production  in  tiie  field  ^ows 
600  barrels  settled  daily  production,  outside  of  the  production  now  or 
hereafter  made  by  Mr.  Knapp's  company,  we  will  take  up  the  question 
of  building  a  pipe  line  from  Chanute  to  Thayer  to  connect  witii  our  pipe- 
and  tankage  at  that  point."     (Testimony  of  Young,  page  33.) 

100.  During  the  year  1902  the  Prairie  Ccanpany  erected  a  large 
steel  tank  near  Chanute,  Kan.,  and  constructed  a  connecting  pipe  line  to 
its  lines  and  tankage  at  Thayer,  Kan.  Later  it  erected  a  number  of 
steel  tanks  for  the  storage  of  oil  at  Humboldt,  Kan.,  and  continued  to 
buy  all  the  oil  ofi'ered  to  it  as  promptly  as  its  pipe  line  and  storage 
facilities  would  permit. 

101.  The  Prairie  Cnnpany  was  practically  the  only  purchaser  of 
crude  oil  in  the  state  of  Kansas,  equipped  with  transportation  and 
storage  facilities  to  handle  crude  oil  in  large  quantities,  up  to  about 
March  or  April,  1905.  Up  to  that  time  it  purchased  approximately  all 
the  oil  produced  in  the  state  of  Kansas. 

102.  Throughout  the  year  1902  the  production  of  crude  oil  in  the- 
Kansas  field  increased  very  rapidly,  until  it  amounted  to  37,686  barrels 
in  the  month  of  January,  1903,  and  continued  to  increase  until  in  the 
month  of  July,  1903,  there  was  produced  and  run  into  the  pipe  lines  of 
the  Prairie  Company  60,421  barrels.  Prior  to  Jnl>,  1903,  oil  had  been 
discovered  in  several  places  in  Oklahoma,  and  in  August,  190S,  the 
territory  which  now  comprises  the  state  of  Oklahoma  produced  10,490 
barrels  for  the  month  of  Augngt,  1903.  There  was  produced  in  Kan- 
sas during  the  last  four  months  of  1903:  107,018  barrels  in  Sep- 
tember, 109,603  barrels  in  October,  151,662  barrels  in  November,  and' 
216,448  barrels  in  December. 

103.  The  completion  of  the  pipe  line  from  Kansas  to  Sugar  Creek, 
Mo.,  by  the  Prairie  Company  materially  increased  the  market  available 
for  Kansas  and  Oklahoma  oil,  and  the  Prairie  Company  in  the  month  of 
November,  1904,  the  first  month  after  such  pipe  line  was  completed, 
sold  and  delivered  162,468.75  barrels  of  crude  oil,  as  compared  with 
76,236.82  barrels  for  the  month  of  September,  the  month  preceding  that 
in  which  such  pipe  line  was  completed. 

104.  In  the  year  1903  the  Praine  Company  bought  and  handled 
1,063,069  barrels  of  crude  petroleum,  of  which  980,361  barrels  was  pro- 
duced in  Kansas,  and  82,708  barrels  was  produced  in  Oklahoma.  During 
the  same  period  the  Prairie  Company  sold  480,631  barrels  and  put  in 
storage  682,437  barrels. 

106.  In  the  year  1904  the  production  in  the  Kansas  and  Oklahoma 
field  ctxitinued  to  rapidly  increase  throughout  the  year,  and  the  Prairie 
Company  began  in  that  year  the  construction  of  a  pipe  line  from  Kansas  to 
a  refinery  owned  and  operated  by  the  Indiana  Company  at  Sugar  Creek, 
near  Kansas  City  in  the  state  of  Missouri,  which  pipe  Ime  was  eenpleted 
about  the  month  of  October,  1904.  During  the  month  of  October,  1904, 
the  Prairie  Ctmipany  handled  600,736  barrels  of  crude  oil,  408,736  barrels, 
of  which  was  produced  in  Kansas  and  192,000  barrels  in  Oklahoma.    Dur-

including  Ui«  month  of  February,  1906,  it  was  practically  the  (mly  pur- 
chaser of  crude  oil  in  the  state  of  Kansas.  It  had  no  real,  aubstantial 
competition  in  that  business,  and  the  oil  taken  and  handled  by  it  repre- 
sents approximately  the  output  of  the  Kansas  field  up  to  that  time. 
(Note. — Testimony  of  Connelly.) 

117.  Since  February,  1905,  the  Prairie  Company  has  bought  and  paid 
for  practically  all  the  oil  that  has  been  offered  to  it  by  producers  in 
Kansas,  and  in  addition  to  it  there  have  been  a  number  of  reflneriea 
established  throughout  the  state  of  Kansas  which  became  purchasers  of 
crude  oil  and  competitors  of  the  Prairie  Company. 

118.  The  exact  date  of  the  establishment  of  the  several  refineries 
competing  with  the  Prairie  Company  in  the  purchase  of  crude  oil  in  the 
state  of  Kansas  is  not  shown  by  the  evidence,  but  it  is  clear  from  the 
evidence  that  prior  to  February,  1905,  the  aaly  refinery  in  the  state  of 
Kansas,  outside  of  the  one  belonging  to  the  Kansas  Company  at  Neodesha, 
was  a  small  concern  at  Humboldt,  owned  by  a  man  named  Webster,  and 
that  on  the  10th  da^  of  December,  1907,  there  had  been  established  and 
were  then  in  operation  sixteen  other  refineries  with  a  total  or  combined 
capacity  of  6660  barrels  of  crude  oil  per  day,  as  follows:

119.  There  never  were  any  contracts  of  any  kind  between  the  Prairie 
Company  and  either  the  Indiana  Company  or  the  Kansas  Company, 
except  for  the  sale  of  crude  oil,  in  stated  quantities  at  stated  prices. 

120.  There  never  were  any  contracts  of  any  kind  between  the  Indiana 
Company  and  the  Kansas  Company,  except  for  the  sale  of  tiie  manu- 
factured products  of  petroleum  at  wholesale  by  the  Kansas  Company 
to  the  Indiana  Company,  in  stated  quantities  at  stated  prices. 

121.  The  Prairie  Company  never  agreed  with  the  Indiana  Company 
that  it  would  sell  its  crude  oil  only  to  it. 

122.  The  Kansas  Company  never  agreed  with  the  Indiana  Company 
that  it  would  sell  the  products  of  its  refinery  only  to  it. 

123.  The  Prairie  Company  never  sold  any  crude  petroleum  or  other 
oil  to  the  Indiana  Company  for  delivery  within  the  state  of  Kansas. 

124.  The  Prairie  Company  never  agreed  with  the  Kansas  Company 
that  it  would  not  sell  crude  petroleum  to  any  other  than  it. 

126.  The  Kansas  Company  never  agreed  with  the  Prairie  Company 
that  it  would  not  purchase  crude  petroleum  from  any  other  person  than 
the  Prairie  Company. 

126.  The  Indiana  Company  never  agreed  with  the  Prairie  Company 
that  it  would  not  purchase  crude  petroleum  from  any  other  person. 

127.  The  oil  produced  generally  throughout  the  Oklahoma  field  is 
more  valuable  and  acceptable  for  refining  purposes  than  the  oil  produced

is  much  less  than  that  amount,  although  exact  figures  are

aspects  been  beneficial  to  the  people  of  the  state  of  Kansas, 
lown  to  have  been  otherwise  in  any  respect. 
evidence  shows  that  the  prices  of  crude  oil  and  gasoline  and 
oil  have  fluctuated  in  the  state  of  Kansas  since  1903,  but 
there  has  been  the  same  upward  or  downward  tendency  in 
ely  of  crude  oil  and  the  refined  products. 

evidence  shows  that  several  hundred  corporations  were 
ith  capital  stocks  ranging  from  {100,000  to  {1,500,000,  for 
of  engaging  in  the  oil  business  in  Kansas.  Many  of  them

Not  one  of  them,  as  far  as  the  evidence  disclosed,  ever  pro-

placed  upon  the  market  within  this  state,  and  as  a  matter  of  comparison 
will  Bay,  that  during  the  year  ending  December  1,  1905,  there  were 
Bubmitted  to  this  depaitment  for  inspection  by  the  Kansas  refineries 
4865  barrels  of  oil  and  32  barrels  of  gasoline,  showing  that  during  the 
year  1W6  the  Kansas  refineries  made  a  net  gain  of  29,904  barrels  of 
oil  and  gasoline  inspected  and  sold  within  the  state." 

"The  reports  on  file  in  this  office  show  that  during  the  year  ending 
November  30,  1907,  there  has  been  inspected  by  this  department  369,847 
barrels  of  oil  and  gasoline.  Of  this  amount  the  independent  refineries 
located  within  this  state  furnished  63,583  barrels  of  oil  and  13,216  bar- 
rels of  gasoline,  making  a  total  of  6G,799  barrels,  or  eighteen  per  cent 
of  the  total  amount  of  all  oil  and  gasoline  consumed  in  Kansas  during 
the  year  1907.  As  a  matter  of  comparison  it  might  be  of  interest  to 
note  that  during  the  year  1906  the  independent  refineries  furnished  and 
aubmitted  to  this  department  for  inspection  31,801  barrels  of  oil  and 
gasoline  consumed  in  the  state.  From  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the  inde- 
pendent production  of  oil  in  Kansas  has  made  a  net  gain  of  34,998  bar- 
rels, or  eight  and  one-half  per  cent  of  all  oil  and  gasoline  ctmsumed  in 
Kansas  during  the  year  1907," 

"The  reports  on  file  in  this  office,  and  also  in  the  state  auditor's  office, 
show  that  during  the  year  ending  November  30,  1908,  there  has  been 
inspected  by  this  department  220,110  barrels  of  oil  and  171,605  barrels 
of  gasoline,  making  a  total  of  381,715  barrels  of  oil  and  gasoline.  Of 
this  amount  the  independent  refineries  located  within  this  state  fur- 
nished 57,041  barrels  of  oil  and  23,574  barrels  of  gasoline,  making  a 
total  of  80,615  barrels,  or  twenty-one  per  cent  of  the  total  amount  of 
all  oil  and  gasoline  consumed  during  the  year  1908;  and  as  a  matter  of 
comparison  it  might  he  of  interest  to  note  that  during  the  year  1907  the 
independent  refineries  furnished  and  submitted  to  this  department  for 
inspection  66,799  barrels  of  oil  and  ^soline.  From  this  it  will  readily 
be  seen  that  the  independent  production  in  Kansas  has  made  a  net  f^in 
of  13,816  barrels  during  the  year  1908,  and  that  the  independent  pro- 
duction of  oil  has  made  a  net  gain  of  three  per  cent  of  all  oil  consumed 
in  Kansas  during  the  year." 

"The  reports  on  file  in  this  office  and  in  the  state  auditor's  office  sho'w 
that  during  the  year  ending  November  30,  1909,  there  has  been  in- 
spected by  this  department  248,568  barrels  of  oil  and  210,496  barrels  of 
gasoline,  making  a  total  of  459,064  barrels  of  oil  and  gasoline.  By 
referring  to  former  reports  of  this  department  it  will  be  noted  that  this 
is  an  increase  of  77,218  barrels  more  of  oil  and  gasoline  inspected  during 
the  year  1909  over  that  of  1908.  The  independent  refineries  located  wiUiin 
this  state  furnished  and  submitted  to  this  department  for  inspection, 
during  the  year  1909,  77,290  barrels  of  oil  and  43,623  barrels  of  gasoline, 
making  a  total  of  121,613  barrels,  or  twenty-six  per  cent  of  the  total 
amount  of  all  oil  and  gasoline  inspected  during  the  year  1909.  The 
independent  refineries  in  the  ^ear  1908  submitted  to  this  department  for 
inspection  80,615  barrels  of  oil  and  gasoline.  From  this  it  will  be  noted 
that  the  independent  production  in  Kansas  has  made  a  net  gain  of 
40,998  barrels  of  oil  and  gasoline  during  the  year  1909,  and  a  net  gain 
of  eight  per  cent  of  all  oil  consumed  in  Kansas  during  the  year  1909."

157.  In  1890  the  Standard  Oil  Company  (N.  J.)  acquired  control  of 
the  Foreat  Oil  Company,  a  producing  company  which  owned  and  operated 
wells  and  leases  in  Kansas,  which  were  conveyed  to  the  Prairie  Com- 
pany, and  the  stock,  valued  at  102,  was  paid  for  in  stock  of  the  Standard 
Oil  Company  (N.  J.)  valued  at  170,  the  difference  being  paid  in  cash. 

158.  The  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Indiana  gets  75  per  cent  of  the 
oil  it  eellB  at  retail  in  Kansas  from  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Kansas, 
and  of  all  of  the  oil  sold  by  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Indiana,  in 
its  entire  field,  95  per  cent  comes  from  the  Kansas  and  Oklahoma  field, 
known  as  the  mid-continent  field. 

159.  In  making  its  sales  of  refined  oils  and  gaaoline  to  the  trade  in 
the  ten  Btat«B  in  which  it  operates,  the  defendant,  the  Standard  Oil 
Company  of  Indiana,  fixes  the  price  at  which  it  delivers  and  sells  ita 
product  at  the  different  stations  in  the  several  states  by  making  a  basing 
price  at  the  refinery  from  which  the  oil  is  famished  and  adding  thereto 
the  cost  of  transportation  and  delivery  at  the  point  of  delivery.  The 
basing  points  for  Kansas  are  Sugar  Creek,  Mo.,  and  Neodesha,  Kan.; 
for  North  Dakota,  South  Dakota,  Minnesota,  Wisconsin  and  Michigan, 
Whiting,  Ind.;  and  for  Illinois  and  Indiana,  Whiting,  Ind.,  and  Wood 
River,  111.;  for  Iowa,  Sugar  Creek,  Mo.,  and  Whiting,  Ind. ;  for  Missouri, 
Sugar  Creek,  Mo.;  for  Kansas,  Sugar  Creek,  Mo.,  and  Neodesha,  Kan. 

160.  In  fixing  its  basing  price  for  the  state  of  Kansas  at  Sugar 
Creek,  Ho.,  and  Neodesha,  Kan.,  the  defendant,  the  Standard  Oil  C^- 
pany  of  Indiana,  makes  its  basing  price  on  Standard  White  oil  iicm 
one-half  cent  to  one  coit  lower  than  in  any  other  state;  on  Perfection 
oil  from  one  cent  to  three  and  one-half  cents  lower  than  in  any  other 
stAte,  and  upon  Crown  Gasoline  about  an  average  of  the  other  states, 
some  being  one  and  one-half  cents  to  one-half  cent  higher  than  Kansas, 
and  some  being  from  one-half  cent  to  one  and  one-fourth  c^its  lower  than 
in  Kansas. 

161.  A  comparison  of  tJie  basing  prices  for  Kansas  and  for  the  other 
nine  states,  as  nearly  as  the  same  can  be  made  from  the  answers  of 
the  defendant  to  the  question  propounded,  is  shown  in  the  ft4lowing  table,

X68.    The  defendant  the  Standard  Oil  Co.  of  Indiana  makes  full  and 

detailed  reports  of  its  buBineas  to  its  sales  agent  who  has  his  office  at  No. 

26  Broadway,  New  Yoric. 

X68«.    W.  P    Cowan,  vice  president  of  the  defendant  the  Standard 

Oil  Company  of  Indiana,  fixes  the  price  at  which  the  refined  producta 

are  by  it  sold  to  the  other  companies  subordinate  to  the  Standard  Oil 

Uompany  of  New  Jersey,  whether  the  same  be  delivered   from   Suirar 

Creek  or  Neodesha. 

169.  By  reason  at  the  relation  existing  between  the  subordinate  cOTn- 
panies  and  the  New  Jersey  Company,  the  stock  of  the  subordinate  com- 
panies serves  no  purpose  except  a  means  of  placing  the  subordinate 
companies  m  the  control  of  the  New  Jersey  Company,  and  such  stock 
has  no  market  value,  and  is  never  and  was  never  intfnded  to  be  put  upon 
the  market.  Also,  in  many  instances,  the  stock  of  the  subordinate  com- 
pany was  Increased,  in  which  cases  the  increase  stock  was  not  pot  upwi 
we  market,  but  was  taken  and  held  for  the  trustees  of  their  successor, 
the  New  Jersey  Company. 

170.  The  prices  to  be  paid  by  the  Standard  Oil  interests  are  not  left 
exclusively  to  the  various  subordinate  companies  acting  independently, 
but  that  matter  is  cwsidered  by  Mr.  J.  D.  Archbold  and  his  associates, 
acting  for  said  interests  as  a  whole.  The  prices  to  be  paid  are  de- 
termined by  them,  at  least  in  a  general  way,  and  their  determination  is 
made  known  to  the  subordinate  companies. 

Mr.  Trainer  was  the  general  purchasing  agent  of  the  New  Jersey 
Company,  with  office  at  26  Broadway,  New  York.  During  the  time 
Mr.  Young  was  president  of  the  Prairie  Company,  and  until  December, 
1905,  the  Prairie  Company  received  communieations  from  Trainer  in 
regard  to  the  prices  of  crude  oil.  This  was  done  under  an  arrangement 
made  with  Trainer  by  Mr.  HunneweU,  the  comptroller  of  the  Prairie 
Company,  whose  office  was  aleo  at  26  Broadway,  New  York. 

The  prices  paid  for  crude  oil  by  the  Prairie  Company  are  usually  de- 
termined in  personsl  conference  between  Mr.  O'Neill  and  Mr.  J.  D.  Arch- 
bold  at  his  ofllce  in  New  York,  upon  Mr.  O'Neill's  recommendatiana, 
which  have  never  been  disapproved  by  Archbold,  Sometimes  this  ia 
done  by  wire  or  by  letter. 

Although  there  is  no  evidence  of  the  specific  fact,  from  the  facts  found' 
herein  I  find  that  J.  D.  Archbold  and  O'Neill  were  familiar  vrith  the 
wishes  and  determinations  of  the  general  managers  of  the  Standard  Oil 
interests,  and  that  the  prices  to  be  paid  by  the  Prairie  Company  for 
crude  oil  were  adjusted  with  reference  to  and  in  conformity  with  such 
determination. 

171.  The  Standard  Oil  interests,  meaning  thereby  all  interests  whereof 
the  stockholders  of  Uie  Standard  Oil  Company  of  New  Jersey     are  the-

iflciarieB,  constitute  and  are  managed  and  operated  as  one 
inified  system.  The  various  companies  which  constitute 
re  not  co6rdinate.  but  with  the  exception  of  the  New  Jersey 
!  subordinate  and  without  voice  in  the  management  of  the 
rhole.  The  subordinate  companies  are  not  less  than  one  hun-

board  of  directors  of  the  Standard  Oil  Cranpany  of  New 
istomed  to  consider  all  matters  of  interest  to  that  company, 
marketing  and  reflning  of  oil  by  all  interests  owned  by  that 
exercises  a  general  control  of  the  business  wherever  a 
doing  business  in  which  it  owned  a  controlling  interest  in 

territorial  limits  within  which  the  various  companies  in 
w  Jersey  Company  has  a  controlling  interest  are  not  infre~ 
:ed.  Also,  the  objects  and  purposes  of  each  of  the  defendant 
I  set  forth  in  their  respective  charters,  is  largely  the  same 
jf  each  of  the  other  companies.  The  selection  of  the  terri- 
vithin  which  the  companies  in  which  the  New  Jersev  Coro- 
introlling  interest  shall  operate,  and  the  changes  made  from 
n  such  limits,  and  the  apportionment  between  the  defendant 


trol  which  the  New  Jersey  Company  has  by  reason  of  its 
the  stock.  And  although  there  is  no  direct  evidence  of  the 
as  a  conclusi(»i  of  fact  from  the  facts  found  herein,  I  find 
tters  are  determined  by  the  New  Jersey  Company  with  the 
f  the  subordinate  companies. 

Indiana  Cnnpany  does  no  business  in  Iowa,  Nebraska, 
ahoma,  Arkansas,  or  in  the  south  half  of  Missouri.  All  of 
is  occupied  by  corporations  whose  stock  is  owned  and  con- 
Standard  Oil  Company  of  New  Jersey. 

eriy  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  Kentucky,  all  of  whose 
led  by  the  New  Jersey  Company,  occupied  what  was  called 
ritory."  It  afterwards  cfeased  to  do  so.  When  it  did  so  the 
7hich  the  Indiana  Company  did  businesa  was  extended  to 
IS,  Nebraska,  South  Dakota  and  Iowa.  TliereafUr,  and  in 
idard  Oil  Company  of  Nebraska  was  organised  and  its  stock 
Jew  Jersey  Company,  and  the  marketing  stations  theretoforft 
Indiana  Company  were  purchased  by  the  Nebraska  Corn- 
Indiana  CMnpany  ceased  to  do  business  within  the  state. 
jMnpany  now  does  business  only  in  ten  states,  viz. :  North 
akota,  Minnesota,  Wisconsin,  Michigan,  Indiana,  Illinois, 
i  and  Kansas.  The  southern  part  of  Missouri  is  occupied 
!  Pierce  Oil  Company,  about  67  per  cent  of  whose  stock  is 
New  Jersey  Company. 

to  the  commencement  of  this  action,  the  New  Jersey  CMn- 
practically  the  owner  of  all  or  a  majority  of  the  stock  of 
one  hundred  corporations  engaged  in  different  branches  of 
a  in  various  parts  of  tha  country.  From  time  to  time  some 
inies  were  consolidated  witli  others  in  which  the  New  Jersey 
a  controlling  interest.  In  many  cases  the  property  of  one 
id  to  another  and  the  territory  occupied  by  one  was  aban- 
apied  by  another.  Others  went  out  of  business  entirely,  in 
e  property  owned  by  the  retiring  company  was  transferred

panj  owned  a  controlling  interest,  which  had  theretofore  been  doing 
buamesa  in  Kansas  and  elsewhere,  transferred  Its  properties  in  Kansas 
to  the  Prairie  Company  and  thereafter  discontinued  doing  buBiness  in 
Kansas. 

17S.  Prior  to  the  orj^anization  of  the  Indiana  CcHnpany,  the  Standard 
Oil  interests  represented  by  the  trustees  under  the  trust  agreement  of 
1882  formed  the  purpose  of  erecting  a  refinery  at  Whiting,  Indiana,  and 
as  a  means  of  effectuating  such  and  other  purposes  caused  and  pro- 
cured the  orKanization  of  the  Indiana  Company  and  furnished  the  nec- 
essary capital.  The  Indiana  Company,  after  its  organization,  did  erect 
the  refinery  at  Whiting,  Ind. 

179.  Prior  to  the  organization  of  the  Kansas  Company,  the  Standard 
Oil  Company  of  Kentucky,  in  which  the  New  Jersey  CWpany  held  a 
controlling  interest,  formed  the  purpoae  of  erecting  a  refinery  at  Neode- 
sha,  Kan.,  and  in  order  to  effectuate  such  and  other  purposes  it  caused  and 
procured  the  organization  of  the  Kansas  Company  and  furnished  the 
necessary  capital.  The  Kansas  C(»npany,  after  its  organization,  did 
erect  a  refinery  at  Neodesha,  Kan. 

180.  Prior  to  the  organization  of  the  Prairie  Company,  the  New 
Jersey  Company  formed  the  purpose  of  procuring  the  construction  of 
pipe  lines  leading  from  the  mid-continent  field,  for  the  conveyance  of 
crude  oil  from  that  field  to  refineries  further  east  operated  by  the  New 
Jersey  Company  and  companies  in  which  it  held  a  controlling  interest, 
and  in  order  to  effectuate  such  and  other  putposes  it  caused  and  procured 
the  organization  of  the  Prairie  Company,  which  company,  after  its  organ- 
ization, did  construct  pipe  lines  leading  from  the  mid-contin«it  field  to 
such  eastern  refineries. 

With  respect  to  the  allegations  of  the  plaintiff's  petition: 

181.  As  to  paragraph  7.  Substantially  all  of  the  stock  of  the  defend- 
ant companies  was  issued  to  parties  who  in  fact  hold  the  same  in  trust 
for  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of  New  Jersey,  for  the  purpose  of  giving 
said  New  Jersey  Company  the  practical  control  of  the  defendant  com- 
panies. Unless  the  law  infers  otherwise,  from  this  and  other  facts  herein 
found,  the  evidence  does  not  sustain  paragraph  7  of  plaintifTs  petiticn. 

162.  Paragraph  8.  Unless  the  law  infers  oUierwiae,  from  the  facta 
herein  found,  the  evidence  does  not  sustain  the  allegations  contained  in 
the  8th  paragraph  of  plaintiff's  petition. 

183.  Paragraph  9.  Practically  all  of  the  stock  of  the  defendant 
companies  is  held  by  parties  who  hold  for  the  Standard  Oil  Company  of 
New  Jersey,  and  the  stock  for  all  practical  purposes  is  the  property  of 
said  company;  and  although  there  was  no  actual  fonnal  agreement  be- 
tween the  dcdfendants  or  to  which  they  became  parties,  each  of  them  and 
their  managing  <^cers  have  become  parties  to  the  Standard  Oil  system, 
managed,  controlled  and  operated  as  stated  in  these  findings.  Unless 
the  law  infers  otherwise,  from  this  and  other  findings  herein,  ttie  evidence 
does  not  sustain  the  9th  paragraph  of  the  petition. 

184.  Paragraph  ID.  Unless  the  law  infers  otherwise,  from  the  facts 
herein  stated,  the  evid«ice  does  not  sustain  the  10th  paragraph  of  the 
plaintiff's  petition. 

185.  Paragraph  11.  The  allegations  contained  in  the  11th  paragraph 
of  plaintiff's  petition  are  true. 

186.  Paragraph  12.  To  sell  crude  oil  to  independrait  refineries  within 
the  state  of  Kansas  is  not  a  part  of  the  business  of  the  defendent  the 
JPrairie  Oil  and  Gas  Company,  It  has  not  been  requestsed  to  da  so. 
Whether  it  would  do  so  if  requested  is  uncertain.  That  would  be  a 
matter  for  future  determination  when  the  occasion  arises.  The  evidence 
does  not  show  that  any  formal  agreement  was  ever  entered  into  by  the 
defendants,  of  the  character  stated  in  the  12th  paragraph.     Unless  the

membership  or  other  companies  or  concerns  over  which  this 
Department  exercises  no  supervision.  This  enormous  loss 
represents  property  destroyed  for  all  time  in  an  amount  ap- 
proximately equal  to  $3  for  every  man,  woman  and  child  in 
the  state. 

All  are  agreed  as  to  the  desirability  of  securing  as  low  a  rate 
of  insurance  as  can  be  obtained  commensurate  with  safe  busi- 
ness. We  buy  insurance  for  protection,  but  it  is  manifest 
that  protection  is  unsound  unless  there  can  be  a  margin  above 
the  losses  and  expenses  of  placing  the  business.  In  order  to 
obtain  a  lower  rate  of  insurance,  therefore,  it  follows  that 
the  fire  waste  must  be  reduced.  To  use  the  language  of  my 
predecessor,  Superintendent  Barnes,  in  his  annual  report  for 
1910: 

"The  causes  of  fires  result  in  a  majority  of  cases  from 
defective  chimneys,  flues,  fire-places,  heating  and  lighting  ap- 
paratus, deficient  construction  and  equipment,  matches,  sparks, 
explosions,  incendiaries,  electricity,  deficient  electric  wiring 
and  lightning.  The  average  person  does  not  recognize  the  duty 
he  owes  to  society  in  the  exercise  of  care  in  the  construction 
and  maintenance  of  buildings  for  protection  against  fire.  I 
do  not  believe  that  legislation  regulating  this  proposition  will 
be  long  deferred,  but  it  is  an  assured  fact  that  the  action  of 
legislative  and  municipal  authorities  in  enacting  laws  to  re- 
duce the  fire  waste  would  assure  direct  financial  benefits  to 
their  constituents  in  reducing  the  cost  of  insurance." 

I  believe  that  fully  one-half  of  the  fire  waste  may  be  placed 
at  the  door  of  the  careless.  Carelessness  in  handling  the 
match,  faulty  construction  and  equipment,  the  careless  smoker, 
carelessness  in  permitting  rubbish  to  accumulate  upon  the 
premises.  In  France  and  Germany  carelessness  upon  the  i)art 
of  the  people  of  the  character  stated  above  is  made  a  crime 
against  the  state. 

It  is  lamentable  that  too  many  people  feel  that  their  re- 
sponsibility ends  as  soon  as  their  property  is  covered  by  in- 
surance. The  education  of  the  whole  people  to  the  importance 
of  safeguarding  their  property  against  fire  by  the  elimination 
of  carelessness  is  the  end  sought.  The  State  Fire  Prevention 
Association  is  doing  splendid  work  along  this  line  and  ^ould 
be  commended  and  encouraged.  The  proclamation,  issoed  by 
your  Excellency,  designating  a  general  clean-up  day  is  an  ad- 
vanced step  toward  the  attainment  of  the  object  sought  and.

Forty-second  Annual  Report.  5 

in  my  opinion,  one  day  in  each  year  should  be  set  aside  and 
designated  "Clean-up  Day"  by  statute.  If  means  can  be  de- 
vised whereby  the  public  may  understand  that  one-half  of  the 
enormous  tire  waste  is  directly  attributable  to  carelessness  and 
through  this  knowledge  be  influenced  to  the  extent  of  eliminat- 
ing it,  a  reduction  of  the  rate  of  insurance  proportionately 
must  and  will  follow. 

The  loss  by  fire  originating  through  incendiary  origin  is 
much  greater  than  the  average  citizen  is  aware  of  and  ap- 
pears to  be  on  the  increase.  Contrary  to  the  general  under- 
standing, the  insuring  public  pays  for  the  losses  of  this 
character  by  increase  in  the  rate  of  insurance.  Kesting  under 
the  delusion  that  the  insurance  companies  are  the  only  suf- 
ferers, the  public  remains  indifferent  and  the  criminals  are 
allowed  to  escape  punishment. 

The  enactment  of  a  law  creating  a  fire  marshal  and  clothing 
him  with  authority  to  rigidly  investigate  all  questionable  fires, 
to  administer  oaths  and  compel  citizens  to  testify  before  him, 
would  result,  as  it  has  in  other  states  where  this  law  has  been 
enacted,  in  the  conviction  of  many  criminals,  preserving 
thousands  upon  thousands  of  dollars  in  property  (a  direct 
saving  to  the  people),  the  saving  of  many  human  lives  and  a 
lower  rate  to  insurers. 

The  incentive  of  the  incendiary  is  that  of  obtaining  more 
for  his  property  by  burning  it  than  can  be  obtained  otherwise. 
His  unlawful  and  inhuman  ambition  is  made  possible  by  the 
insurance  companies  through  over-insurance.  While  we  must 
liold  the  insurance  companies  responsible,  they  can  not  alto- 
gether be  charged  as  blamable  inasmuch  as  they  promptly  re- 
ject insurance  on  property  greater  than  its  value  when  they 
have  knowledge  of  it,  but  the  blame  attaches  to  them  through 
and  on  account  of  the  ignorance  or  cupidity  of  the  agent.  No 
person  will  bum  his  proi»erty  for  the  insurance  if  he  can  sell 
it  for  more. 

From  my  viewpoint,  the  remedy  for  a  cure  of  over- 
insurance,  and  consequently  the  elimination  of  incendiarism, 
IS  to  fix  by  statute  an  insurance  valuation  on  all  real  property, 
a  maximum  value  for  insurance  in  no  case  higher  than  its 
real  value.  A  solution  which  would  make  the  problem  simple 
indeed  would  be  to  provide  that  the  value  fixed  by  the  last 
i=sessor's  returns  on  real  estate  shall  be  the  insurance  value.

6  Kansas  Department  of  Insurance. 

1  recommend  the  enactment  of  a  law  along  the  lines  of  the 
suggestion  above. 

The  wisdom  of  the  enactment  of  the  law  regulating  fire  in- 
surance rates  and  to  prevent  discrimination  in  the  transactions 
of  the  insurance  business  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  four 
other  states  have  already  followed  Kansas  in  the  enactment  of 
similar  laws.  Kansas  in  passing  this  law  took  an  advanced 
step  in  the  right  direction  in  the  solution  of  that  vexed  ques- 
tion of  fire  insurance  rates  which  sooner  or  later,  in  my 
opinion,  will  be  acknowledged  by  all  the  states  in  the  enact- 
ment of  similar  laws.  But  the  states  enacting  this  law  since 
its  enactment  in  Kansas  have  had  an  advantage  by  observing 
the  practical  workings  of  the  law  here  and  have  thereby  been 
able  to  materially  strengthen  certain  features  of  the  law  found 
to  be  weak.  Our  law  requires  companies  to  file  with  the  Super- 
intendent of  Insurance  general  basis  schedules  showing  the 
rates  upon  ail  classes  of  risks  and  all  charges,  credits,  terms, 
privileges  and  conditions  which  in  any  wise  affect  the  rates 
or  the  value  of  the  insurance  to  the  insured.  In  order  to  ob- 
tain a  proper  rate  the  various  companies,  through  a  system 
of  inspection,  classify  the  various  cities  and  towns  of  the  state 
as  first,  second,  third,  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth  class,  and  a  basis 
rate  is  established  for  each  class,  dependent  upon  the  adequacy 
of  the  fire  department,  fire  fighting  apparatus,  water  system, 
etc.  To  the  basis  rate  is  added  many  charges  for  additional 
hazards,  such  as  occupancy,  thickness  of  walls,  openings  in 
walls  or  floors,  character  of  roof,  area,  height,  sky-lights, 
heating  and  defective  electric  wiring,  which  are  all  taken 
into  consideration  in  determining  the  rate. 

Section  199,  chapter  55,  Laws  of  Kansas,  1909,  provides 
that  when  the  Superintendent  of  Insurance  shall  determine 
that  any  rate  made  by  the  insurance  companies  is  excessive 
or  unreasonably  high  he  shall  direct  the  companies  to  file  a 
lower  rate.  The  weakness  in  the  law  consists  in  its  failure  to 
provide  proper  means  of  ascertaining  whether  a  rate  is  too 
high  or  not.  Take  this  example:  A  city  complains  that  the 
inspectors  of  the  insurance  companies  have  classified  it  into 
a  lower  class  than  proper  and,  in  consequence,  a  higher  rate 
of  insurance  is  established  than  is  justified,  and  asks  relief 
through  this  Department.  The  Department  undertakes  an 
investigation  by  the  only  means  at  hand — correspondence 
through  the  mails.    The  insurance  companies  contend  that  the

any  insurance  or  guaranty  company  incorporated  under  the

policies  issued  by  legal  reserve  life  insurance  companies.  This 
Department,  having  been  apprised  of  losses  to  citizens  of  this 
state  by  reason  of  their  failure  to  observe  the  requirements 
of  policy  provisions  by  giving  notice  of  intent  to  discontinue, 
and,  being  without  authority  under  law,  used  its  discretionary 
powers  by  refusing  to  authorize  any  company  to  transact  busi- 
ness in  this  state  which  did  not  provide  for  automatic  non- 
forfeitures.

EIGHTEENTH  BIENNIAL  REPORT. 


To  His  Excellency,  Hon.  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor  of  Kamaa: 

Sir— I  have  the  honor  to  submit  herewith  a  report  of  the 
business  of  this  office  and  the  activities  of  the  organized  militia 
of  this  state,  known  as  the  Kansas  National  Guard,  for  the 
biennium,  June  30,  1910,  to  June  30,  1912. 

The  past  biennium  has  been  a  very  busy  one  for  the  National 
Guard  of  this  state.  It  has  made  great  progress  during  this 
period,  and  this  Department  has  been  advised  by  officers  of  the 
War  Department  that  it  is  not  excelled  by  the  Nntional  Guard 
if  any  other  state.  Never  in  the  history  of  the  Guard  has 
every  element  and  part  of  the  organization  coordinated  in  its 
upbuilding  and  progress  as  in  the  past  two  years.  Every 
officer  and  enlisted  man  seems  to  have  acquired  the  spirit  of 
progress  of  the  time  and  is  determined  to  make  the  organiza- 
tion one  that  is  not  only  an  honor  but  a  privilege  to  belong  to. 
It  is  now  as  much  a  recognized  part  of  the  military  resources 
of  the  national  government  as  is  the  regular  or  standing  army. 
It  can  be  called  directly  into  the  service  of  the  United  States 
by  organizations  without  new  enlistments.  The  organizations 
as  such  can  be  called  for  indefinite  service,  each  officer  and  man 
serving  for  the  balance  of  his  term  of  commission  or  enlist- 
ment It  is  expected  to  be  in  such  a  state  of  readiness  as  to  be 
prepared  for  immediate  active  war  service,  and,  as  a  matter  of 
fact,  it  would  form  a  part  of  the  first  line.  This  new  function 
of  the  National  Guard  has  brought  about  the  necessity  for  a 
very  different  kind  of  training.  In  fact,  it  must  be  trained  to 
perform  all  the  duties  for  the  state  in  time  of  peace,  in  main- 
taining law  and  order  and  protecting  life  and  property,  and 
in  addition  thereto  be  trained  in  all  those  duties  which  would 
have  to  be  performed  in  active  war  service.  It  is  therefore  a 
dual  organization — a  state  organization  in  time  of  peace  and  a 
national  organization  in  time  of  war. 

Few  realize  how  much  training  is  now  required  of  the  Na- 
tional Guard,  but  this  may  be  classified  under  +he  following 
general  heads : 

The  use  and  care  of  arms. 

Sanitation  and  care  of  the  wounded  in  the  field. 

Discipline.

6  Adjutant  General. 

In  former  times  the  simplicity  of  firearms  did  not  require 
the  same  amount  of  training  as  at  present.  With  modern 
rifles  the  effective  range  in  open  country  is  one  mile.  At  one 
thousand  yards  firing  should  be  quite  accurate.  The  rifle  itself 
is  complicated,  involving  a  great  deal  of  care  in  keeping  it  in 
proper  condition.  The  artillery  arm  is  even  more  complicated 
and  has  an  effective  range  of  over  three  miles.  The  firing:  of 
this  arm  is,  as  a  rule,  indirect — that  is,  by  a  system  of  mathe- 
matical calculations  the  fieldpiece  can  be  "fired  from  a  con- 
cealed position  without  the  object  fired  at  being  in  view.  This, 
perhaps,  is  one  of  the  most  difficult  tasks  presented,  requiring 
patience  on  the  part  of  both  officers  and  men. 

Until  recent  years  little  attention  was  paid  to  sanitary  laws 
in  active  field  service,  neither  was  the  individual  man  trained 
in  the  methods  of  caring  for  himself  in  the  field.  Without  go- 
ing into  unnecessary  details,  it  may  be  stated  in  i  general  way 
that  much  time  and  effort  is  now  spent  in  training  men  not 
only  to  understand  but  to  observe  proper  sanitarj-  regulations. 

In  the  care  of  the  wounded  in  the  field  much  attention  is 
given.  All  men  are  taught  the  application  of  first  aid  to  the 
wounded.  They  are  provided  with  simple  bandages  and  taught 
liie  use  of  same.  All  wounds  not  serious  are  dressed  on  the 
field  of  battle,  thereby  saving  much  loss  of  life.  Thousands  of 
well-trained  men  slightly  wounded  are  returned  in  a  few  days 
or  weeks  to  their  proper  commands. 

The  word  "discipline"  is  used  here  in  its  broadest  sense.  It 
means  prompt  and  cheerful  obedience  to  orders,  accurate  and 
faithful  performance  of  duty,  and,  above  all,  the  proper  co- 
ordination of  each  unit  to  all  others ;  orderly  administration  of 
all  departments;  in  general,  all  those  things  which  make  an 
army  move  like  a  well-adjusted  piece  of  machinery,  each  part 
fitting  into  the  other,  and  each  part  adjusted  to  do  the  particu- 
lar thing  for  which  it  is  designed. 

It  takes  more  time,  probably,  to  secure  good  discipline  than 
any  other  part  of  the  soldier's  training.  It  requires  the  con- 
stant supervision  of  officers,  the  frequent  bringing  together  of 
each  branch  of  the  service;  it  requires  a  thorough  knowledge 
of  customs,  forms  and  regulations. 

Officers  must  be  schooled  in  the  effective  training  and  han- 
dling of  men  in  the  field,  not  only  in  preparation  for  battle,  but 
in  battle  itself.  This  is  done  by  active  service  in  the  field. 
Under  present  plana,  frequent  mobilization  of  the  Nationr.l 
Guard  with  the  regular  army  is  particularly  important,  espe- 
cially in  coordinating  these  two  branches  of  the  service.  This 
training  is  obtained  by  performing  the  same  kind  of  duties  in 
the  open  country  as  might  be  required  in  actual  war,  scouting, 
reconnoissance,  patrolling,  advance  and  rear  guard,  extended 
order,  battle  exercises,  making  and  reading  maps,  judging:

12  .  Adjutant  General. 

EQUIPMENT. 

The  National  Guard  is  thoroughly  equipped  for  field  service. 
with  the  exception  of  escort  wagons  and  some  additional 
technical  equipment  for  the  signal  corps.  The  state  has  no 
place  to  store  escort  wagons,  and  it  is  thought  best  not  to 
procure  them  for  the  present,  as  they  can  be  readily  supplied 
in  case  the  troops  are  called  into  active  service.  The  technical 
equipment  needed  by  the  signal  corps  will  be  procured  this 
coming  fiscal  year.  The  equipment  is  supplied  to  the  state 
by  the  federal  government  on  requisition,  the  cost  of  same 
being  charged  to  the  state's  allotment  from  the  federal  govern- 
ment. 

Returns  are  made  annually  to  the  federal  government,  ac- 
counting for  this  property.  The  property  is  in  excellent  con- 
dition and  well  cared  for.  Frequent  verifications  of  the  prop- 
erty are  made,  and  shortage,  if  any,  immediately  accounted 
for.  The  Quartermaster  General's  report,  found  in  another 
part  of  this  report,  will  give  a  detailed  report  of  the  property 
on  hand. 

Since  my  last  report  the  battery  has  been  equipped  with 
the  new  3-inch  field  artillery  equipment  without  cost  to  the 
state.  This  is  the  latest  equipment  issued  by  the  ordnance 
department,  and  costs  about  $85,000.  The  old  equipment  was 
returned  to  the  United  States  arsenal  at  Rock  Island,  111. 
ARMORIES. 

The  greatest  need  of  the  Guard  to-day  is  adequate  and  suit- 
able armories  for  the  proper  storage  and  care  of  property 
and  for  drill  and  school  purposes.  Only  one  company  in  the 
state,  B,  Second  infantry,  Holton,  owns  its  armory.  This 
armory  was  built  by  the  company  at  a  cost  of  about  $10,000. 
and  the  members  of  the  company  are  paying  for  it.  All  the 
other  companies  occupy  rented  halls,  many  of  them  absolutely 
unfit  for  the  purpose,  and  all  of  them  unsuitable.  Rentals 
have  increased,  and  practically  all  of  the  companies  are  paying 
all  of  their  annual  allowance  from  the  state  for  rent,  leaving 
nothing  for  other  expenses.  Many  are  paying  more  than 
their  allowance  and  some  more  than  twice  their  allowance. 

The  federal  government  furnishes  the  equipment  to  the  statp 
with  the  understanding  that  the  state  will  provide  suitable 
armories  for  the  proper  care  of  this  equipment.  Federal 
inspectors  have  always  reported  that  the  armories  in  Kansas 
were  not  suitable.  In  1909  the  legislature  passed  a  law  author- 
izing the  building  of  armories,  but  failed  to  make  an  appro- 
priation making  the  law  effective.  This  law  provides  that  if 
towns  in  which  companies  are  located  will  raise  not  less  than 
$2500  for  the  purpose  of  erecting  an  armory,  that  the  state 
will  add  to  this  amount  twice  as  much.  This  is  a  good  law 
and  should  be  put  into  effect.    It  would  not  only  bring  about

VISIT  OP  PRESIDENT  TAPT  TO  THE  STATE. 

In  September,  1911,  the  President  of  the  United  States 
poke  at  several  points  in  this  state,  and  at  points  visited  by 
im  where  companies  were  located  the  company  turned  out 
s  an  escort.  His  visits  to  Hutchinson  and  Topeka  were  made 
tate  occasions.  Companies  A,  D,  E,  F  and  I  of  the  second 
ifantry,  commanded  by  Col.  P.  M.  Hoisin^ton,  were  ordered 
]  Hutchinson  as  an  escort ;  and  battery  A,  companies  B,  H, 
and  band  of  the  First  infantry,  company  B,  Second  infantry, 
nd  the  first  provisional  company,  commanded  by  Col.  Wilder 
.  Metcalf,  were  ordered  to  Topeka  as  an  escort. 

CAMPS  OF  INSTRUCTION  FOB  HIFLE  PRACTICE. 

In  1910  each  company  of  infantry  held  a  six-day  camp  of 
istruction  for  rifle  practice  on  its  local  rifle  range.  The  in- 
pectors  of  small-arms  practice  were  detailed  to  attend  these 
imps  as  instructors.  These  camps  were  very  instructive  and 
ery  beneficial,  and  as  a  result  of  holding  these  camps  a 
reater  per  cent  of  the  Guard  qualified  with  the  rifle  this  year 
lan  had  qualifled  in  any  previous  year.  The  cost  of  these 
unps  was  paid  from  federal  funds. 

A  state  camp  of  instruction  for  rifle  practice  was  held  at 
'ort  Leavenworth  July  18  to  23,  1910.  This  was  a  compet- 
ive  shoot,  and  a  number  of  prizes  were  awarded  and  a  team 
elected  to  represent  the  state  at  the  national  match.  All  mem- 
ers  of  the  Guard  who  qualified  as  experts  with  an  aggregate 
:ore  of  345  out  of  a  possible  450  were  authorized  to  attend 
lis  camp.  There  were  in  attendance  at  this  camp  117  con- 
stants. 

The  following  were  selected  as  a  team  to  represent  the  state

finished  in  sixteenth  place,  winning  first  prize  in  class  C,  "The

In  1911  no  company  rifle  camps  were  held,  owing  to  the  lack 
of  funds  for  this  purpose.  A  state  camp  of  instruction  for 
rifle  practice  was  held  at  Fort  Leavenworth  July  17  to  29, 
1911.  This  was  a  competitive  shoot,  and  a  number  of  prizes 
were  awarded  and  a  team  was  selected  to  represent  the  state 
in  the  national  match.  All  members  of  the  Guard  were  au- 
thorized to  attend  this  camp  who  qualified  as  expert  riflemen 
with  an  aggregate  score  of  368  out  of  a  possible  450.  There 
were  in  attendance  at  this  camp  100  cont^tants.  The  follow-

(b)  Infantry  Drill  Regulations,  1904.  Evidutiona  of  the  regiment. 
ThebriBBde.  Ceremonies;  general  rules.  Rertews;  general  rules.  Camp- 
ing (paragraphs  6S2  to  669).    Honors  (pamgraphs  687  to  602). 

(c)  The  solution  of  a  problem  in  minor  tactics,  selected  b?  the  board. 
In  problems  in  minor  tactics  given  for  examination  it  is  not  expected 
that  the  ot&cer  will  always  give  the  accepted  solution.  All  that  will  be 
demanded  of  the  officer  is  that  the  solution  is  "feasible  and  good  and 
that  it  meets  the  conditions  of  the  problem." 

Any  officer  appearing  for  examination  who  has  received  a  diploma 
ot  graduation  from  the  officers'  school  dated  not  earlier  than  three 
years  previous  to  the  date  of  the  order  for  the  examination  will  not 
be  required  to  take  the  course  (a) . 

Under  provisions  of  G.  O.  43,  when  an  officers'  commission  terminates 
under  the  constitutional  limitation  (4  years),  no  election  to  fill  the 
gTiAe  is  held,  btft  the  officer  whose  commission  so  terminates  is  ordered 
toT  examination  for  recommission.  The  examination  of  an  officer  for 
recoDunission  is  as  foUowa: 

(1)  As  to  physical  condition. 

(2)  That  he  has  a  diploma  from  the  officers'  school,  or  has  satisfac- 
tcrily  ctHnpIeted  the  school  work  which  may  have-  been  required  of  him. 

(3)  As  to  goieral  efficiency.  In  order  to  carry  out  the  provisions 
of  this  section  it  will  not  be  necessary  for  the  officer  to  personally 
appear  before  the  board,  except  as  hereinafter  provided.  The  officers' 
c^caminstion  shall  be  CMnpleted  before  the  expiration  of  hia  commission; 
therefore,  the  first  session  of  the  board  anterior  to  the  termination  of 
the  oSicers'  commission  shall  be  furnished  and  have  before  it: 

ta)  A  certificate  of  the  physical  condition  of  the  officer,  made  within 
dx  months  of  the  convening  of  the  board  in  the  particular  examination, 
by  a  reputable  physician,  and  furnished  to  the  board  through  the  Ad- 
jutant General's  Office  by  the  officer  concerned. 

(b)  A  full  statement  of  the  officer's  work  in  the  officers'  school,  if 
any  such  work  has  devolved  upon  the  officer,  to  be  furnished  the  board 
by  the  director  of  the  officers'  school. 

(c)  Any  recommendations  the  officer  may  choose  to  lay  before  the 
board  for  its  consideration. 

(d)  Any  reconunendations  which  the  colonel  or  other  immediate  com- 
tnanding  officer  may  eend  to  the  board. 

(e)  Any  reports  detrimental  to  the  efficiency  of  the  officer  by  the 
miMiel  of  his  raiment  or  other  immediate  commander. 

(f>  A  full  statement  from  The  Adjutant  General  as  to  the  efficiency, 
promptness  in  attending  to  official  correspondence,  and  care  of  public 
pr<^Mrty  and  preparation  of  money  accounts. 

Wbenerer  any  report  is  made  detrimental  to  the  officer's  efficiency 
under  (e)  and  (f),  the  officer  so  reported  against  shall  have  the  right 
to  appear  in  person  before  the  board  to  offer  testimony  in  refutation 
of  the  chargea;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  officer  making  such  re- 
ports to  furnish  the  officer  reported  against  with  a  copy  of  the  report 
^  days  before  the  board  shall  meet

Adjutant  General. 


If  there  be  no  detrimental  reports  under  <e)  and  (f),  it  shall  then 
be  presumed  that  nothing  afFecting  the  general  effldency  of  the  ofGcer 
under  (3)  exists. 

When  an  officer  examined  shall  have  passed  a  satisfactory  examina- 
tion, the  board  shall  recommend  him  for  recommission  in  the  grade  and 
arm  in  which  he  was  at  the  termination  of  his  previous  commissitm, 
and,  when  so  recommended,  he  shall  he  so  recommissioned. 

All  officers  recommended  for  recommission  shall  be  commissioned  for 
a  period  of  four  years  and  shall  take  rank  from  date  of  first  cmnmission 
in  that  grade. 

BULLETIN. 

This  department  issues  monthly  a  Bulletin  of  Militia  News  Notes, 
giving  news  items  of  interest  and  decisions  and  information  not  pub- 
lished in  orders  and  circulars.  This  Bulletin  has  proven  to  be  very 
beneficial  as  a  means  of  conveying  information  of  a  general  nature  to 
the  Guard.  . 

CIVIL  WAB  RECORDS. 

This  office  is  the  custodian  of  all  the  state  records  of  all 
wars.  Thousands  of  soldiers  of  these  wars  must  depend  upon 
these  records  in  order  to  prove  their  legal  claims  against  the 
government.  Communications  are  received  daily  from  sol- 
diers asking  for  certificates  of  service.  The  number  of  these 
requests  has  increased  greatly  due  to  recent  pension  legis- 
lation. 

ACTIVE  SERVICE. 

The  Guard  has  not  performed  any  active  service  during 
the  beinnium,  although  on  several  occasions  conditions  arose 
which  indicated  a  call  would  be  made.     Fortunately  these 
matters  were  adjusted  without  the  use  of  troops. 
FEDERAL  PAY  POE  THE  GUARD. 

To  secure  the  efficient  training  of  the  National  Guard  in- 
volves a  greater  expense  than  can  well  be  afforded  by  the  states. 
The  national  government  has  adopted  a  liberal  policy  in  pro- 
viding arms,  clothing  and  equipment.  The  great  difficulty 
now  faced  is  in  the  fact  that  the  National  Guardsman  must 
earn  his  own  livelihood,  and  the  training,  particularly  for 
national  service,  involves  an  amount  of  time  and  effort  which 
he  really  can  not  afford  to  give  without  some  reward.  It  is 
manifest  that  we  have  arrived  at  a  point  where  some  com- 
pensation should  be  made,  and  this  should  cdme  from  the 
national  government. 

To  accomplish  this  a  bil!  is  now  before  Congress  which 
provides  for  compensation  on  the  basis  of  a  percentage  of 
the  pay  for  the  regular  army.  The  benefits  of  such  a  bill  in 
securing  a  higher  degrree  of  ^ciency  can  hardly  be-estimated, 
and  it  should  therefore  receive  the  hearty  support  of  all 
citizens.'

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report. 


BECOM  HENDATIONS. 


would  respectfully  recommend  that  the  legislature  be 
ed  to  make  an  appropriation,  makinjr  the  Taw  author- 
le  building  of  armories  effective. 

hat  the  annual  allowance  to  companies  for  armory 
,d  contingent  expenses  be  increased  30  as  to  meet  the 
expenses  of  these  organizations.  The  amount  of  work 
d  of  the  captains  of  companies  can  hardly  be  appre- 
]y  any  one  not  familiar  with  the  National  Guard  and 
imanding  officer's  duties.  In  addition  to  this  he  is  re- 
le  for  the  financial  condition  of  his  company.  One  of 
ncipal  items  of  expense  is  the  armory  rent  and  its 
lance.  In  order  to  make  this  possible  it  is  necessary 
/  cases,  under  present  conditions,  to  rerent  the  armory 
;r  purposes,  and  in  some  cases  to  collect  dues  from  the 
■3  of  the  company  in  addition  to  the  time  they  give  to 
)  meet  these  expenses.  Under  these  conditions  it  is 
ily  hard  to  maintain  the  proper  discipline  and  keep 
ipanies  up  to  the  required  standard  of  efficiency. 
tiat  the  appropriation  for  pay  for  drills  be  made  suf- 
10  that  pay  can  be  allowed  for  four  drills  each  month, 
fiat  the  militia  code  be  redratfed,  so  that  it  will  con- 

the  federal  militia  laws  and  meet  the  existing  condi- 

the  National  Guard  service. 

lat  an  additional  clerk  be  authorized  for  this  depart- 
D  be  used  as  a  filing  clerk  and  to  assist  in  the  steno- 

work. 

lat  an  allowance  be  made  each  company,  battery,  sig- 
)3,  hospital  corps  and  band  sufficient  to  pay  the  quar- 
er  sergeant  to  properly  care  for  all  public  property, 
uch  regulations  aa  may  be  prescribed  by  the  Military 

lat  an  act  be  passed  by  the  legislature  prohibiting  any 
or  persons  or  organizations  other  than  the  United 
trmy  or  the  National  Guard  from  wearing  uniforms 
I  of  uniforms  similar  to  those  authorized  to  be  worn  by 
nbers  of  the  United  States  army  and  the  National 

lat  the  law  governing  disbursements  by  the  Paymaster 
be  changed  so  that  the  expenses  in  connection  with 
an  be  more  promptly  settled.  At  the  present  time  the 
ter  is  not  permitted  to  draw  any  funds  in  advance 
amp  for  pay  and  subsistence.  This  should  be  changed 
lit  the  Paymaster  General  to  draw  sufficient  funds 
e  state  treasurer  to  enable  the  troops  to  be  paid  and 
d  while  at  camps  of  instruction.  This  officer  is  under 
Qd  this  method  would  repeal  the  law  which  requires 
iting  of  the  accounts  by  the  state  auditor  before  actual 
t  can  be  made.     By  the  above  method  it  would  be

possible  for  the  Paymaster  General  to  pay  off  the  organiza- 
tions and  account  to  the  state  auditor  by  vouchers  covering 
expenditures,  and  return  to  the  state  treasurer  any  money 
unexpended. 

9.  That  the  law  authorizing  pay  for  shots  be  amended  so 
as  to  authorize  an  allowance  for  qualifications  instead  of  pay 
for  shots. 

10.  That  the  old  capitol  building  on  Pawnee  Flats,  Fort 
Riley  Reservation,  which  has  been  ceded  bylhe  federal  govern- 
ment to  the  state  of  Kansas,  be  repaired  and  put  in  condition 
so  that  it  can  be  used  as  a  storehouse  for  camp  equipment, 
thus  saving  the  state  the  cost  of  shipping  this  equipment  to 
and  from  Fort  Riley  each  year. 

CONCLUSION. 

It  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  the  National  Guard  of 
Kansas  should  be  maintained  to  a  high  standard  of  efficiency, 
and  I  trust  that  it  may  continue  to  have  your  loyal  support  and 
encouragement,  as  well  as  that  of  every  good  citizen  of  the 
state.  All  patriotic  citizens  of  this  state  should  encourage  a 
proper  military  spirit  among  the  young  men  of  this  state. 
Every  male  citizen  of  sound  physical  condition  should  serve 
at  least  one  enlistment  in  the  Guard,  and  every  soldier  should 
be  made  to  feel  that  it  is  an  honor  and  an  expression  of  loyaltj'

24  AdjiUant  General 

A  BEVIEW  OF  THESE  PUKDB  AND  KEOOHUENDATIONS. 

Fund  1.  The  salary  of  The  Adjutant  General  is  $2000,  which  is  $600 
less  than  the  heads  of  other  departments  receive.  The  work  of  this 
office  is  that  of  a  specialist,  who  must  have  had  years  of  training  in 
the  military  service  to  be  competent  to  fill  the  office.  The  National  Guard 
has  become  a  scmifederal  organication,  and  is  under  the  supervision  of 
the  War  Departmoit  The  head  of  this  department  is  responsible  for 
the  proper  disbursement  of  the  federal  and  state  funds  and  the  proper 
discipline,  instruction  and  activities  of  the  troops.  He  is  also  responsible 
for  the  proper  care  and  accounting  of  over  half  a  million  of  equipment 
issued  to  the  state  by  the  federal  govemment. 

The  work  of  this  department  has  more  than  quadrupled  in  the  last 
two  years  and  is  constantly  increasing  and  becoming  more  intricate, 
and  the  responsibilities  are  not  excelled  in  any  department  of  the  stat?. 
and  equaled  in  only  a  few. 

Fund  2.  The  salary  of  the  Assistant  Adjutant  General  is  (1400.  The 
assistants  in  other  departments  receive  a  salary  of  from  (1800  to 
$2000.  This  officer  is  assistant  to  The  Adjutant  General,  and  Quartar- 
master  General  of  the  state.  He  is  responsible  for  the  proper  care  of  and 
accounting  for  over  one-half  million  dollars'  worth  of  property  for  which 
the  state  is  accountable  to  the  federal  government. 

Fund  3.  The  military  storekeeper  is  in  charge  of  the  state  store- 
house. There  is  in  this  storehouse  at  all  times  over  one  hundred  thou- 
sand dollars'  worth  of  government  property  for  which  the  state  is  account- 
able. This  officer  supplies  military  stores  to  the  various  organizations 
of  the  National  Guard  of  this  state  when  needed. 

Fund  4.  The  clerk  is  the  bookkeeper  of  the  department  and  has 
charge  of  the  war  records  of  the  Kansas  soldiers  and  the  fumishint; 
of  certificates  to  soldiers  of  their  war  service. 

This  department  should  have  an  additional  clerk  for  a  filing  clerk. 
Both  of  these  clerks  should  be  stenographers  and  assist  in  the  steno- 
graphic work  of  the  office  when  necessary. 

Fund  6.  By  reason  of  the  increased  work  of  this  deparbnent,  it  has 
become  a  physical  impossibility  for  the  stenographer  to  do  the  work. 

Fund  6.  Contingent  fund. — This  fund  is  practically  all  used  for 
postage.    The  postage  of  this  department  averages  about  $40  per  mmth. 

Fund  7.  This  fund  is  for  rent  of  company  armories,  contingent  ex- 
penses of  companies  and  other  organizations,  freight,  dreyage,  express, 
care  of  property,  and  other  expenses  of  this  department  and  of  Ot«  state 
arsenal.  The  annual  allowance  to  organizations  for  rent  of  armories 
and  contingent  expenses  comes  out  of  this  fund. 

This  allowance  is  $300  per  annum  to  the  companies.  Nearly  all  of 
the  companies  pay  the  full  allowance  for  rent,  leaving  nothing  for  con- 
tingent expenses.  Many  of  the  cnnpanies  have  to  pay  more  than  their 
allowance  for  rent  alone.  Some  of  the  companies  are  compelled  to 
pay  twice  the  amount  of  their  allowance  for  armory  rent  This  is  not 
fair  to  the  company  commanders.  This  is  a  state  institution  and  should 
be  maintained  by  the  state.     The  company  commander  is  issued  about

id  dollars*  worth  of  military  supplies  and  is  required  to  give 
the  safe-keeping  of  this  property.  This  is  government  prop- 
r  any  of  it  is  lost  or  stolen  or  damaged  by  the  elements  the 
nnmander  is  required  to  pay  for  it  unless  he  can  show  by 
^dence  that  it  was  nnavoidably  damaged  or  lost.  The  com- 
lander  devotes  a  large  portion  of  his  time  in  drilling  and 
f  his  cranpany  and  looking  after  the  property,  for  which 
receives  no  pay.  Is  it  fair  in  addition  to  all  this  to  expect 
down  into  his  own  pocket  to  maintain  this,  the  state's  insti- 
le  annual  allowance  to  each  organization  should  be  at  least 
aany  cases  this  amount  would  fall  far  short  of  meeting  the 
ecessary  expenses. 

This  fund  is  used  to  pay  the  enlisted  men  for  attendance  at 
companies  drill  each  week  for  about  two  hours.  This  would 
to  five  drills  per  month.  The  pay  authorized  by  the  statutes 
:  per  man  actually  in   attendance  and   participating  in   the 

lis  appropriation  we  have  been  able  to  pay  for  only  two  drill 
month.  These  men  are  subject  to  the  call  of  the  President, 
leed,  to  go  to  any  part  of  the  United  States  or  of  the  world 
of  the  Union;  and  subject  to  the  call  of  the  governor  or 
iny  hour  in  the  day  or  night,  without  any  warning  or  time 
leir  business  affairs,  to  go  to  any  part  of  the  state  in  case 
of  the  peace,  tumult,  riot  or  resistance  to  process,  or  fm- 
ger  thereof,  etc.  Are  they  not  entitled  to  the  little  amount 
norized  for  the  labor  they  perform  in  preparing  themselves 

man  should  serve  his  country  in  time  of  war  is  noble,  brave 
ic,  but  that  a  man  shall  properly  prepare  himself  in  time 

serve  in  war  is  all  of  these  things  and  more.  It  is  noble 
ity  which  is  real,  not  ideal.    It  is  brave  with  a  bravery  which 

times  of  unemotional  peace  many  burdens,  among  them 
ack  of  appreciation  of  those  who  do  not  consider  military 

or  training  necessary." 

This  appropriation  is  to  cover  the  per  diem  pay  and  ex- 
inspecting   officers,   making   the    semiannual    inspections    of 

organizations  and  their  equipment  at  their  home  stations, 
flired  by  federal  statutes  and  by  section  29  of  the  military 


.    This    appropriation    is   for    the    expenses    of   the    ■ 
during  the  year,  such  as  the  annual  maneuver  camp,  camp 
ruction,  and  officers'  school  camps. 

,  This  appropriation  is  for  the  per  diem  pay  and  expenses 
hen  called  into  active  service,  either  mobilization  for  federal

expenses  of  courts-martial,  etc. 

If  the  entire  National  Guard  was  called  into  active  service  fo 
week  this  appropriation  would  be  entirely  wiped  out.  In  additii 
any  active  service  which  might  be  necessary  to  pay  for  from  this 
the  following  are  a  few  of  the  expenses  which  must  be  paid  frat 
fund  under  the  provisions  of  the  General  Statutes: 
The  attendance  of  the  personnel  of  the  National  Guard  at  two 

inspections  each  year,  $5000  each;  two  years fl 

For  attendance  of  the  personnel  of  the  various  organizations  of 

the  National  Guard  at  Memeorial  Day  exercises  each  year, 

?1800;    two  years 

Pay  for  shots  each  year,  $4,000 ;  for  two  years 

These  three  items  alone,  without  taking  into  consideration  the 
expenditures  authorized  and  required,  make  a  total  of  $21,600,  or 
than  the  appropriation,  leaving  nothing  for  active  service. 

Fund  11.  This  fund  is  to  meet  the  expenses  of  transportation, 
ings  and  medical  attendance  of  regular-army  sergeants  on  duty 
the  National  Guard  as  instructors.  There  are  three  of  these  setg 
on  duty  with  the  militia  of  this  state;  one  with  each  regiment  c

Shall  Arms,  etc.  In  addition  to  the  sm^ll  arms  of  prea^it  issue 
patt«m,  there  are  in  the  state  arsenal  and  in  the  hands  of  citizens 
certain  small  arms  and  appendages  of  obsolete  pattern.  This  property 
has  been  listed  in  previous  reports  and  no  change  has  taken  place  therein 
during  the  current  year. 

Small  Parts.  A  sufficient  supply  of  small  parts  for  replacing  worn 
and  broken  parts  of  small  arms  is  kept  on  hand  ^t  the  state  arsenal 
at  all  times. 

Subsistence  Proferty.  The  commissary  chests  required  by  the  militia 
regulations  are  kept  completely  filled  at  all  times,  and  in  addition  thereto 
there  is  a  small  amount  of  subsistence  property,  tableware  and  kitchen 
utensils  which  have  been  procured  for  camp  purpoaee. 

SiGNAL-coRFS  Pbopbity.  In  addition  to  the  articles  U8t«d,  there  is  on 
hand  a  small  amount  of  obsolete  property  at  one  time  issued  to  the 
signal  corps. 

Textbooks.  The  several  organizations  of  the  National  Guard  are 
supplied  with  the  required  textbooks,  manuals,  regulations,  etc.,  a  suffi- 
cient reserve  being  kept  at  the  state  arsenal  at  all  times.  Frequent 
changes,  rendering  whole  editions  obsolete,  render  any  list  of  publi- 
cations confusing;  hence  the  enumeration  of  all  books  by  titie  is  omitted.

REPORT  OF  SURGEON  GENERAL. 


Maflehill,  Kan.,  July  25,  1912. 
General  C.  I.  Martin,  Adjutant  General,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

Sir — 1  have  the  honor  to  submit  the  following  biennial  report  for 
the  medical  department  of  the  National  Guard  of  Kansas: 

I  attended  the  camp  of  instruction  at  Fort  Riley  from  August  16 
to  August  26,  inclusive,  as  per  A.  G.  0. 

All  organizations  arrived  in  camp  in  good  physical  condition.  Prom 
a  sanitary  standpoint,  the  camp  was  ideal  as  to  location.  Drainage 
was  good,  and  the  screening  of  kitchens  added  greatly  to  Uie  sanitary 
condition  of  the  camp,  as  did  also  the  careful  attention  to  garbage 
cans,  which  were  kept  well  covered  and  limed.  Latrines  were  kept 
clean  and  well  limed. 

I  agree  with  Colonel  Huffman,  who  was  chief  surgeon  at  that  time, 
that  too  much  lime  was  used  in  latrines,  and  his  suggestion  of  crude 
oil  would  be  an  improvement  over  the  lime,  as  the  lime  used  too  freely 
has  a  tendency  to  clog  the  urinals  and  cause  an  overflow  instead  of  a 
free  drainage. 

The  men  of  the  entire  command  gave  more  attentitm  to  cleanliness, 
both  personally  and  generally,  which  added  greatly  to  the  success  of 
the  camp  from  a  sanitary  standpoint.  Their  clothing  was  unusually 
clean  and  neat,  and  with  the  exception  of  some  few  cases  of  sore  feet 
caused  by  ill-fitting  shoes,  the  men  enjoyed  personal  comfort  throughoui 
the  encampment. 

Very  little  sickness  was  reported  in  the  command  during  the  two 
weeks—about  one.tenth  of  one  per  cent,  mostly  from  heat  prostrations, 
which  occurred  one  afternoon  while  out  on  maneuver;  about  sixty  in 
.  all,  I  believe.  All  made  good  recoveries,  and  at  breaking  of  camp  none 
were  found  to  be  suffering  from  any  ill  effects.  One  acute  case  of 
appendicitis  was  reported,  and  was  operated  on  and  made  an  uneventful 
recovery.  No  cases  of  infectious  or  contagious  diseases  were  reported 
up  to  time  of  breaking  camp. 

I  desire  to  thank  the  ofliceTs  of  the  several  commands  for  their  assist- 
ance and  close  scrutiny  from  a  sanitary  standpoint  and  their  untiring 
eflTorts  in  training  their  men  along  sanitary  lines,  which  added  greatly 
to  the  success  of  this  department.  The  equipment  of  this  department 
seemed  adequate  to  meet  all  demands,  and  calls  for  service  and  attention 
to  the  men  were  promptly  responded  to,  which  proved  the  efficiency  and 
alertness  of  all  the  medical  officers. 

In  compliance  with  Order  No,  38,  A.  G.  0.,  I  had  the  pleasure  of  atttnd- 
ing  the  dedication  of  the  John  Brown  monument  at  Osawatomie,  Kan,. 
August  31,  1910,  as  a  representative  head  of  this  department  I  also 
have  the  honor  to  report  my  attendance  at  the  camp  of  instruction  at

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  47 

Ciuiip  Chu.  P.  Drew  at  Fort  Hiley,  Kan.,  AuguBt,  1911,  with  the  follow- 
ing strength  of  this  department: 

Conimissi<Nied  oflkers  6 

Enlisted  men    21 

Enlieted  men  absent 3 

Aggregate  present  and  absent 29 

The  fallowing  detail  was  made:  MaJ.  H.  Z.  Hissem,  assigned  to 
Second  regiment;  HaJ.  Carl  Phillips,  assigned  to  brigade  hospital;  Lieut. 
H.  H.  Heylman,  chief  sanitarr  offlcer;  Lieut  I.  E.  Durant,  assigned  to 
First  regiment;  Lieut.  Seth  Hanunel,  assigned  to  battery;  Lieut  J.  T. 
Beed,  absent;  Haj.  Henty  T.  Salisbury,  chief  surgeon. 

I  consider  this  <me  of  the  most  successful  encampments  held  since  I 
have  been  Surgeon  General.  Owing  to  the  terrific  heat  and  strenuous 
work  which  a  class  of  men  such  as  compose  the  National  Guard  had 
to  undergo,  I  consider  it  remarkable  that  the  percentage  of  sickness  was 
no  more  than  it  was — less  than  1  per  cent  of  the  entire  command,  in- 
cluding all  minor  cases. 

The  sanitary  condition  of  the  camp  was  excellent,  and  showed  the 
untiring  effort  of  the  chief  surgeon.  Major  Salisbury.  I  heartJly  approve 
of  Major  Salisbury's  recommendation  of  the  incinerator  range  for  each 
organisation,  as  this  will  greatly  relieve  the  accumulation  of  garbage, 
which  can  be  disposed  of  while  the  meals  are  being  prepared,  and  thus 
remove  the  presence  of  the  same  three  timea  daily,  instead  of  one  as 
heretitfore  done  by  contract  method. 

The  equipment  of  the  troops  with  the  Gold  Medal  cot  is  surely  a 
great  addition  to  the  comfort  of  the  members  of  the  Guard,  as  well  as 
B  protection  of  the  soldiers  from  ctdds  and  other  minor  troubles  from 
lying  on  damp  hay  or  straw,  and  also  renders  It  much  easier  to  keep 
tiie  camp  clean. 

I  made  my  annual  inspection  last  year  at  the  same  time  General 
Huffman  made  his  general  inspection,  and  I  will  repeat  that  I  have  never 
in  the  eight  years  of  my  service  with  the  Guard  seen  the  camp  or  the 
personal  equipment  of  the  soldiers  in  a  better  condition.  Kitchens  were 
neatly  policed,  and  each  well  supplied  with  utensils  and  containers,  and, 
most  of  all,  the  ice  boxes,  with  a  liberal  supply  of  ice  and  v^etables 
and  meat  presented  a  neat  appearance. 

I  also  have  the  honor  to  acknowledKe  the  receipt  of  Order  No.  33, 
A.  G.  O.,  detailing  me  to  attend  Governor's  Day,  September  2G,  at  the 
Hntchinson  State  Fair;  also  the  state-wide  soldiers'  and  sailors'  reunion 
and  the  reception  of  the  President  of  the  United  States  at  Topeka  on 
September  27,  1911.  I  was  unable  to  attend  the  former  on  account  of 
matters  over  which  I  had  no  CMitrol,  and  my  excuse  was  kindly  granted 
by  the  Adjutant  Goieral.  I  had  the  honor  to  be  present  at  the  reunion 
and  reception  to  the  President  at  Topeka  on  September  27. 

Very  respectfully,  CUABLES  R.  SilvebtHOBNB,  M.  D. 

Surgeon  General,  Commawting  Medical  Departmrnt.

THE  MILITARY  BOAED. 


The  State  Military  Board  meets  quarterly  and  at  such  other  tim«B 
as  The  Adjutant  General  may  deem  their  servicee  to  be  neceesary.  This 
board  is  an  advisory  board  to  the  commander-iD-chief  on  military 
matters,  and  is  composed  of  the  following  officers: 

The  bri^de  commander,  Gen.  Charles  S.  HoAnan,  president. 

The  Adjutant  General,  Charles  I.  Martin,  recorder. 

The  Judge  Advocate  General,  Col.  William  J.  Watson. 
"  .  .    -     .        .egiments — Col.  Wi 

ington,  Second  infantry. 

This  board  has  been  in  session  at  least  once  each  quarter  for  from 
two  to  three  days,  and  has  been  in  absolute  accord  with  this  depart- 
ment in  all  its  efforts.  This  department  is  greatly  indebted  to  this 
board  for  its  advice,  counsel  and  cooperation  in  its  efforts  to  make  the 
National  Guard  of  Kansas  second  to  none. 


PiTTSBiTiu;,  Kan.,  July  29,  1912. 
The  Adjutant  General,  Kanaat  Nalvmal  Guard,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

Sir — Replying  to  yours  of  July  18,  asking  for  an  expression  as  to 
the  progress,  needs,  et::.,  of  the  Kansas  National  Guard,  I  have  the 
honor  to  state; 

The  splendid  achievements  of  the  Guard,  both  in  maneuver  camp  and 
on  the  target  range,  are  very  gratifying  and  are  convincing  evidence  of 
a  hitsb  state  of  efficiency — one  that  could  have  been  reached  only  by 
industrious,  intelligent  officers  and  men,  competently  and  carefully  com- 
manded. 

Especially  does  this  speak  well  for  the  Guard,  in  view  of  the  very 
stinted  allowances  made  and  the  fact  that  not  a  specially  constructed 
building  in  Kansas  is  in  use  as  an  armory. 

The  needs  of  the  Kansas  National  Guard  are  twofold— more  money 
and  better  quarters. 

By  more  money  it  is  not  hoped  to  compensate  the  members  for  their 
services,  but  to  reimburse  them  for  outlays  and  encourage  a  greater 
rather  than  a  lesser  expenditure  of  time. 

A  very  small  per  cent  of  state  and  government  property  is  rendered 
unserviceable  by  service.  It  is  lost  or  damaged  or  destroyed  in  keeping 
it  always  in  readiness  for  service,  and  because  of  improper  handling 
and  inadequate  means  for  keeping  account  of  it. 

Immense  savings  would  be  iramediateely  effected  by  the  erection  of 
proper  armory  buildings.  The  convenience  and  comfort  of  the  members 
will  have  a  great  deal  to  do  with  the  class  of  men  who  will  enlist  in 
the  National  Guard.  Therefore,  the  personnel  of  the  troops  will  be 
much  affected  by  such  armory  buildings. 

Respectfully,  WILLIAM  J.   WATSON, 

Colonel  and  Judge  Advocate  General,  K.  N.  G.

.    RSAIMJUAftTERS  SECOND  INF^NISY,  K.  N.  G., 

Newton,  July  30,  1912. 
The  Adjutant  Gtneral  of  Karuaa,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

Sm — It  is  beyond  oueBtion  th&t  the  last  two  Tears  Imve  seen  iinpTOT»- 
ment  in  the  National  Guard,  or  organised  militia  as  it  is  termod  by 
Congress,  of  all  the  Etat«B.  In  Kansas  the  following  have  been  some  of 
the  special  contributing  causes: 

Firat.  An  increased  measure  of  federal  supervision  and  instruction 
Uirough  the  annual  inspection  of  each  unit  at  its  home  station,  and  of 
the  organisation  as  a  whole,  in  the  field,  by  officers  of  the  U.  S.  army. 

Second.  The  instruction  and  encouragement  given  by  two  ofRcers  and 
three  noncommissioned  odicers  of  the  regular  service,  who  are  constantly 
on  duty  with  the  Kansas  National  Guard  as  " in etrui; tor-inspectors." 

Third.    The  prospect  of  the  federal  pay  bill. 

Fourth.  The  particularly  efficient  administration  of  our  Adjutant 
General's  department,  resulting  in  improved  organisation,  equipmoit 
and  instruction. 

Whatever  may  be  eaid  cf  the  irnportsn^^  of  "the  man  behind  the  gun" 
on  the  battlefield,  the  great  and  constant  need  of  the  Guard  is  officers — 
officers  with  £eal,  intelligence  and  knowledge  to  equip  them  as  military 
leaders,  organizers,  and  instructors.  Their  work  is  that  of  students 
and  teachers.  The  correspondence  school  has  been  of  the  greatest  as- 
sistance and  benefit  to  our  ofRcers.  This  comprises  a  course  of  three 
years,  and  our  first  class  has  just  graduated  eighty-seven  cheers,  who 
have  received  their  diplomas,  which  testify  to  their  personal  application 
to  the  study  of  military  art,  topography,  engineering,  and  law.  These 
officers  are  to  be  congratulated,  as  also  the  state,  and  the  thanks  of 
the  people  of  Kansas  are  due  to  Maj.  Alvarado  M.  Fuller,  U.  S.  A., 
retired,  for  his  able  and  tireless  service  ae  director  of  the  Echool. 

Nothing  stands  still.  There  must  be  either  improvement  or  decay, 
and  it  is  doubtful  if  our  Guard  can  be  maintained  even  at  the  present 
efficiency  without  material  assistance  from  the  state.  Thus  far  the 
added  support  has  come  principally  from  the  general  i^ovemment.  Kan- 
sas is  not  niggardly  with  her  National  Guard,  but  in  all  her  history 
she  has  had  so  little  need  of  troops  fyr  domestic  purposes  that  it  has 
been  easy  to  lose  sight  of  her  obligations  to  support  the  militarv  arm 
of  the  nation.  She  is  rich,  prosperous,  enterprising  snd  loyal,  and 
should  do  hor  part.  Neither  is  it  fair  to  expect  the  boys  who  do  the 
drilling  and  marching  to  alto  pay  the  billE. 

The  greatest  present  need  is  a  larger  appropriation  to  companies  for 
armory  rent  and  care  of  property.  This  must  be  paid  by  the  state. 
The  present  allowance  of  $300  per  annum  was  fixed  about  fifteen  years 
ago,  since  which  time  rents  have  more  than  doubled  and  all  prices 
^eatly  increased.  One  recently  organised  company  in  a  small  town  in 
order  to  secure  adequate  quarters  was  obliged  to  pay  (600  a  year  for 
rent  alone,  and  to  make  a  lease  for  five  years.  Many  other  companies 
pay  more  for  rent  than  the  entire  allowance,  and  the  balance,  with  cost 
of  incidentals,  must  be  eked  out  by  contributions  from  the  men  or  by 
passing  the  hat  among  their  patriotic  friends.  This  makes  it  difficult 
to  enlist  and  retain  the  class  of  men  necessary  to  uphold  the  organiza- 
tion, and  as  a  consequence  some  of  our  oldest  and  formerly' most  efficient 
CMnpanies  are  languishing.  There  is  no  trade  or  profession  in  which 
experience  counts  for  more  than  in  the  military  service,  and  conditions 
should  be  so  adjusted  that  veterans  can  be  retained.  While  it  is  generally 
easy  to  organize  a  company  in  a  new  community,  it  does  not  make  for 
efficiency,  as  years  of  training  are  necessary  to  make  a  company  even 
fairly  proficient  in  alt  the  present  requirements,  and  the  deficiencies 
become  quickly  apparent  under  the  rigid  inspection  above  referred  to. 
The  annual  allowance  tc  companies  should  not  be  less  than  $1000. 

It  is  also  apparent,  from  a  comparison  with  othei  states,  that  Kansas 
is  not  maintaining  her  full  proportion  of  the  organized  militia.  Our 
forces  are  organised  as  a   brigade,  and  we  have   but  two  regiments.

when  thre«  are  required.  It  would  also  seem  reasonable  that  an  agri- 
cultural state  like  ours  would  support  a  squadron  (four  troops)  of 
cavalry,  and  we  have  not  even  one  troop.  Sanitary  troops  for  the  care 
of  the  sick  and  wounded  are  one  of  the  first  and  greatest  necessities 
of  war.  Their  training  and  equipment  requires  much  time  and  labor, 
and  our  small  medical  deparbnent  should  be  expanded  into  a  full  hospital 
company;  eo  also  our  fragment  of  a  signal  corps  into  a  full  signal  com- 
pany, with  ample  equipment,  including  facilities  for  field  aSrtal  tele- 
grapn,  which  the  army  has  now  made  simple  and  effectual.  Our  battery 
should  be  allowed  the  hire  of  horses  for  at  least  one  monthly  drill  with 
their  fieldpieces,  which  they  must  now  haul  around  their  armory  by 
hand  in  the  painful  effort  to  learn  the  drill.  Each  of  our  infantry 
regiments  should  have  a  machine-gun  company,  and  we  should  have  in 
training  the  rudiments  of  en  engineer  corps,  so  necessary  for  bridge 
building  and  pioneering  in  time  of  hostilities,  and  then  so  difficult  to  get. 
We  are  assured  by  the  inspectors  for  the  War  Department  that  all 
the  organisations  we  now  have  rank  high  in  efficiency  among  the  or- 
ganized militia  of  the  United  States,  but  it  is  doubtful  if  we  can  retain 
our  ple[;e,  and  certain  ih^t  no  fMrt^ipr  improvement  can  be  expected, 
without  increased  appropriations  by  the  state. 

Very  respectfully,  P.  M.  Hoisinqton, 

Colonel  Second  Infantry.  K.  N.  G.,  Member  Military  Board. 

Lawrence,  July  22,  1912. 
The  Adjutant  General,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

Sot — I  respectfully  sulmiit  the  following  in  reply  to  your  letter  of 
July  18: 

I  have  been  a  member  of  the  National  Guard  of  the  state  of  Kansas 
for  twenty-four  years,  serving  as  private  and  in  each  commissioned 
grade  from  second  lieutenant  to  col<Hiel  of  the  regiment.  J  was  a 
company  commander  for  a  numbej  of  years.  I  know  something  about 
the  National  Guard  of  Kansas.  During  my  early  service  the  officers 
and  men  knew  a  very  little  about  drill  regulations,  and  almost  nothing 
elae;  nothing  about  marching,  camping,  or  the  real  work  of  soldiers — 
fighting.     Since  1900  considerable  real  progress  has  been  made. 

The  National  Guard  of  Kansas  to-day  knows  a  little  more  about 
drill  regulations,  knows  considerable  about  camping  and  sanitation,  knows 
very  little  about  marchinr,  and  has  made  a  very  small  beginning  in  the 
knowledge  of  the  principles  of  fighting. 

The  men  of  the  National  Guard  of  Kansas  are  excellent  physically. 
They  are  earnest  and  willing  workers.  What  they  need  to-day  more 
than  any  other  one  thing  is  capable  and  efficient  officers.  If  the  men 
of  the  Kansas  National  Guard  have  officers  who  know  how  to  instruct 
and  how  to  lead,  the  companies  will  rapidly  become  eflUcient  organizatimis. 

The  officers  of  our  Guard  do  not  generally  appreciate  the  amount  of 
study  and  attention  necessary  to  make  them  emcient  instructors  and 
leaders.  The  National  Guard  of  KanEas  needs  officers  with  a  .little 
hi^er  degree  of  ability  and  considerable  msre  determination  to  take  the 
time  and  do  the  hard  work  ne;;es£ary  to  equip  them  for  their  duties  aa 
officers. 

The  most  encouraging  thing  in  the  whole  matter  is  the  fact  that 

Site  a  number  of  our  (rflicers  are  beginning  to  understand  how  little 
ey  know  atout  the  miUtary  profession,  and  are  showing  ambition  to 
know  more. 

The  National  Guard  service  must  be  made  attractive  to  the  enlisted 
men  in  order  to  promote  enlistment.  We  have  tried  pay  and  other 
Uilngs.  In  my  judgrnent,  the  best  way  to  make  the  service  attractive 
is  to  make  the  organizations  efficient,  so  that  the  men  can  be  proud  of 
them.  Consider  the  companies  of  the  National  Guard  to-day,  and  you 
will  find  that  without  exception  the  largest  companies  are  the  best 
cnmpaniea.  Wildek  S.  Mittcalf, 

Colonel  First  Infantry,  NatMmal  Guard  of  KoTitat.

REPORT  OF  THE  KANSAS  RIFLE  TEAM  OF  1911. 


Under  the  provisions  of  General  Orders  12  and  Goiersl  Orders  23, 
AdJDtant  General's  Office,  1911,  the  state  rifle  competition  was  held  at 
Fort  Leavenworth  for  one  week,  commencing  July  17,  mie  of  the  pur- 
p09e«  of  this  camp  being  the  selection  of  the  rifle  team  to  repreawt  the 
state  at  the  national  rifle  match  at  Camp  Perry,  Ohio,  in  August, 

At  the  conclusion  of  this  camp  about  twenty-five  men  were  sdect«d 
'ram  the  contestants  of  the  camp  to  try  out  for  the  team.  These  con-

the  army.  Being  a  Kansan  himself,  he  was  very  much  interested  in  the 
aucceas  of  the  Kansas  team  and  worked  very  enei^tically  to  bring  the 
team  up  to  its  highest  etate  of  efficiency  prior  to  the  national  match. 
The  excellent  showing  made  by  the  Kansas  team  in  the  matches  of  1910 
and  1911  was  due  largely  to  the  intelligent  and  systematic  coaching  of 
this  officer. 

The  team  was  very  successful  in  its  practice  work,  and  was  crafident 
when  it  entered  the  national  match  that  it  would  be  a  strong"  contender 
for  a  good  place  in  the  final  result  of  the  match.  In  ISIO  the  team 
entered  the  match  in  thirty-fourth  place  and  finished  in  thirleoitb  place, 
winning  first  prize  in  class  C,  the  "Brcnise  Soldier  of  Marathon"  and 
$300  in  cash.  The  result  of  the  1910  match  placed  the  team  well  up  in 
class  B  and  made  it  necessary  for  the  team  to  land  well  up  in  class  A 
in  order  to  win  a  prize  in  class  B. 

The  national  match  commenced  on  Monday,  August  28.  The  morning 
was  very  cold  and  cloudy,  and  the  wind  was  blowing  strongly  off  of  the 
lakes.  The  first  range  shot  was  the  200-yard  alow  fire.  The  second  pair 
up  shot  only  a  part  of  its  score  whoi  it  commenced  to  rain  and  the  range 
officer  ordered  that  the  firing  cease.  The  contestants  were  kept  on  the 
range  for  some  time  in  the  rain,  waiting  for  it  to  clear  up  sufficiently  to 
continue  the  firing;  but  it  became  apparent  that  it  would  rain  all  of  the 
foToioon,  and  recall  was  sounded  and  contestants  ordered  to  their  quar- 
ters. The  rain  ceased  about  1  o'clock,  and  about  1:30  the  firing  com- 
menced again.    The  Kansas  team  finished  this  range  with  a  score  of  485. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  firing  at  the  200-yard  point,  the  team  fired 
their  rapid-fire  score  at  the  200-yard  range.  The  team  finished  at  this 
range  with  a  score  of  635.    This  finished  the  firing  for  this  day. 

Firing  was  commenced  on  the  following  morning  at  the  600-yard  point. 
The  team  finished  this  range  with  a  score  of  638. 

As  soon  as  the  firing  at  the  600-yard  range  was  completed,  tlie  firing 
was  commenced  at  the  1000-yard  range.  The  team  made  a  score  of  469 
at  this  range.  Up  until  this  range  the  team  had  been  gradually  gaining. 
The  score  at  this  range  was  lower  than  th«y  had  made  at  any  time  in 
their  practice.  The  conditions  were  very  bad,  and  all  of  the  teams  made 
poor  scores  at  this  range.  After  figuring  up  the  scores  and  the  standing 
of  the  team  at  the  conclusion  of  the  firing  at  the  1000-yard  range,  it  was 
fcund  that  if  the  team  was  able  to  make  its  UEUal  score  on  the  skirmish 
run  it  stood  an  excellent  show  to  land  a  good  place  in  the  match  and  to 
win  a  prize  in  class  B. 

The  skirmish  run  was  made  in  the  afternoon,  the  Kansas  team  being 
in  one  of  the  first  runs.  The  conditions  were  good  and  the  team  made  an 
excellent  run,  making  a  total  score  of  1023.  Only  two  teams  in  the 
match  made  a  better  score  than  the  Kansas  team  on  the  skirmish  run — 
the  U.  S.  maiine  corps,  with  1085.  and  the  U.  S.  cavalry,  with  1032. 

The  total  score  made  by  the  team  during  the  match  was  3OB0.  The 
team  finished  the  match  in  seventh  place,  winning  first  prize  in  class  B, 
"the  Hilton  Trophy"  and  $350  in  cash.  The  high  team  in  the  match,  the 
U-  S.  marine  corps,  made  a  score  of  3180.  Only  two  National  Guard 
teams  made  a  better  score  than  the  Kansas  team.

It  IB  needless  to  say  that  the  Kansas  team  was  a  h&ppy  bunch  when 
they  learned  their  position  in  the  match. 

A  number  of  cash  prizes  were  wixi  by  members  al  the  team  in  the 
National  Rifle  Asaociation  individual  matches.  Lieut.  Charlee  C.  Clark, 
First  infantry,  won  first  prize  in  the  governors'  nut«h,  with  a  score  of 
280  oat  of  a  possible  300. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  Natimial  Rifle  Aosociation  match,  the  United 
Service  match  was  tired.'  There  were  three  teams  in  this  match,  one 
composed  of  the  members  of  the  National  Guard,  one  of  the  infantry 
and  cavalry  of  the  United  States  army,  and  one  of  the  marine  corps  and 
navy.  Lieatoiant  Walling  and  Sergeant  Stryker  were  selected  to  rep- 
resCTit  Kansas  on  the  National  Guard  team.  Lieutenant  Walling  finished 
this  match  with  the  second  highest  score  of  any  competitor  participating 
in  the  match. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  match  members  of  the  team  returned  to  their 
home  stations.

Repori  of  Board  of  Regents. 


The  chief  care  of  a  college  must  always  be  its  resident 
student  body,  no  matter  how  diverse  or  extensive  may  be  its 
other  lines  of  activity.  The  continued  esteem  in  which  the 
College  is  held  is  shown  by  marked  and  steady  growth  in  its 
student  attendance,  and  in  the  number  of  its  graduates.  The 
total  enrollment  has  increased  from  2305  in  1909-'10  to  2407 
in  1910-'ll  and  2623  in  1911-'12.  The  number  graduated  was  - 
139,  197  and  203  for  the  same  periods,  respectively.  It  Is 
gratifying  to  note  from  these  data  that  the  graduates  are  in- 
creasing in  numbers  at  a  greater  rate  than  are  the  students 
as  a  whole,  thus  showing  a  markedly  increased  persistence  in 
attendance.  While  the  total  attendance  has  increased  ten  per 
cenl^  the  number  of  graduates  has  increased  forty-six  per  cent. 

The  work  of  subfreshman  students  has,  under  the  new 
course  and  closer  supervision,  been  rendered  more  effective, 
and  the  interest  of  students  in  it  and  the  benefit  that  they 
derive  from  it  has  increased  notably. 

The  preparation  of  students  entering  the  College  is  con- 
stantly improving.  The  number  of  high-school  graduates 
coming  to  us  has  increased  many  fold.  Most  of  these  are  at- 
tracted by  our  courses  in  agriculture,  engineering  and  home 
economics.  These  also  bring  us  a  considerable  number  of 
graduates  of  normal  schools  and  other  colleges. 

The  solicitude  of  parents  whose  children  for  the  first  time 
have  been  placed  upon  their  own  responsibility  is  fully  appre- 
ciated by  the  faculty.  While  it  is  impossible  for  students  at 
college  to  be  given  the  care  or  submitted  to  the  restraint  of 
home  life,  everything  that  can  be  commanded  is  used  to  safe- 
guard them.  In  line  with  this  constant  effort  it  has  been  re- 
quired that  both  young  men  and  young  women  shall  not  room 
ih  the  same  house.  The  housekeepers  of  Manhattan  are  co- 
operating with  the  faculty  in  carrying  out  the  spirit  of  this 
rule.  Considerable  success  has  also  attended  efforts  designed 
to  secure  better  accommodations  for  young  women  than  had 
hitherto  been  provided. 

The  general  deportment  of  our  student  body  is  exception- 
ally good.  The  disorder,  lawlessness  and  foolishness  so  prom- 
inent in  some  colleges,  and  so  difficult  to  eradicate  when  once 
established,  is  almost  unknown  here.  The  relation  of  students 
to  faculty  is  most  cordial,  and  serious  cases  of  discipline  are 
of  extremely  rare  occurrence.  The  moral  atmosphere  is  of  a

high  order,  and  temptations  to  dissipation  and  vice  are  at  a 
minimum. 

Efficient  utilization  of  our  classrooms,  laboratories,  and 
equipment  requires  that  they  be  used  all  day  and  six  days  in 
the  week.  The  convenience  and  health  of  the  students  and 
teachers  alike  would  be  highly  promoted  by  a  commodious 
caffeteria  on  the  campus.  The  board  of  regents  has  voted  to 
establish  one,  but  has  not  been  able  to  go  further  because  of 
the  lack  of  funds. 

STITOENT  HEALTH. 

There  has  been  no  serious  outbreak  of  disease  among  the 
students  during  the  past  two  years.  With  our  increasing 
number  of  students,  there  is  increased  danger  of  the  intro- 
duction of  contagious  diseases  which  may  be  epidemic  in  the 
localities  from  which  the  students  come.  The  College  has 
done  everything  that  seems  possible  in  the  way  of  safeguard- 
ing the  students. 

Following  a  unanimous  vote  by  the  student  body,  the  state 
legislature  was  asked  to.  pass  a  law  authorizing  the  board  of 
regents  of  the  College  to  collect  a  fee  from  each  student  for 
the  establishment  of  a  sick  benefit.fund.  This  law  was  passed 
and  the  board  of  regents  took  immediate  advantage  of  it  and 
directed  that  a  fee  of  fifty  cents  per  term  be  collected  from 
each  student.  A  part  of  this  fund  has  been  used  to  pay  the 
salary  of  a  trained  nurse,  who  gives  her  time  to  attending  to 
the  needs  of  students.  Teachers  are  required  to  notify  her 
when  students  are  absent  for  two  consecutive  days,  and  she 
has  been  of  much  assistance. 

The  remainder  of  this  fund  is  used  to  pay  the  charges  of 
physicians  who  attend  students  or  prescribe  for  them.  The 
total  amount  of  the  bills  of  physicians  for  the  school  year 
1911.'12  was  $3057.25.  The  funds  available  were  sufficient  to 
pay  only  58,9  per  cent,  a  payment  which  the  physicians  ac- 
cepted and  gave  credit  in  full,  in  accordance  with  a  previous 
agreement.  It  is  believed  that  the  services  rendered  by  the 
physicians  was  uniformly  of  a  high  order. 

There  were  four  cases  of  scarlet  fever  during  the  year,  in 
which  case  quarantine  prevented  the  spreading  of  the  disease. 
Not  a  single  case  was  discovered  of  measles,  mumps,  diph- 
theria or  smallpox  among  the  students.  The  general  success 
of  this  effort  to  conserve  the  health  of  the  student  body  must 
be  regarded  as  entirely  satisfactory,  although  some  changes 
of  details  will  doubtless  be  made  in  the  future. 
THE  SUMMER  SCHOOL. 

A  summer  school  for  teachers  of  domestic  science  has  been 
held  for  a  number  of  years.  In  the  summer  of  1911  the  scope 
of  the  school  was  greatly  enlarged,  but  the  instruction  offered

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  7 

was  principally  of  an  industrial  character.  Classroom  work 
was  ^ven  in  several  branches  of  agriculture,  and  elementary 
work  was  offered  in  the  fundamental  sciences  and  in  educa- 
tional aubjects.    The  total  number  enrolled  was  one  hundred. 

For  the  summer  of  1912  the  courses  of  study  offered  have 
been  greatly  extended,  and  include  a  considerable  number  of 
academic  studies  such  as  teachers  are  likely  to  wish  to  take 
advantage  of,  and  which  our  regular  students  may  pursue  for 
the  purpose  of  making  up  deficiencies.  Several  subjects  are 
offered  especially  for  teachers  of  rural  schools.  The  number 
enrolled  is  281.  The  interest  in  the  summer  school  is  thus 
seen  to  be  increasing  notably,  in  spite  of  the  climatic  disad- 
vantages of  this  location. 

The  more  generous  support  that  the  College  has  received 
in  recent  years  at  the  hands  of  the  legislature  has  enabled 
larger  salaries  to  be  paid,  and  as  vacancies  occur,  or  new  posi- 
tions are  established,  it  has  been  possible  to  secure  better  men 
than  heretofore  to  fill  them.  While  we  are  thus  constantly  on 
the  up-grade,  the  fact  remains  that  we  are  not  yet  able  to 
hold,  or  to  obtain,  men  in  competition  with  many  other  col- 
leges and  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture.  The 
people  of  Kansas  deserve  the  best.  The  College  can  not  hold 
its  teachers  and  investigators  without  more  liberal  support 
than  has  thus  far  been  given  it. 

The  business  organization  of  the  College  has  been  com- 
pletely transformed  within  the  last  year,  A  financial  secre- 
tary has  been  appointed,  and  a  complete  and  modem  system 
of  accounting  inaugurated.  The  financial  secretary  is  also  the 
purchasing  agent,  and  it  is  believed  that  a  considerable  saving 
will  be  effected  by  wholesale  purchases. 

While  students  in  attendance  are  the  first  care  of  the  Col- 
lege, we  have  also  looked  constantly  toward  the  great  rural 
constituency  outside  the  College,  and  have  extended  and 
strengthened  our  means  of  serving  their  needs.  The  report 
of  the  director  of  college  extension  presents  in  some  detail  the 
efforts  that  are  being  made  in  this  direction,  and  the  results. 
Rural  education  in  a  broad  sense  has  received  special  atten- 
tion. By  invitation  the  county  superintendents  of  public  in- 
struction in  the  state  have  been  for  the  last  two  years  holding 
their  annual  meeting  at  the  College.  An  annual  conference 
has  also  been  held,  the  especial  object  of  which  was  consider- 
ation of  the  problems  of  the  rural  church.

state  Agricultural  College. 


PUBLIC  WORK  OF  THE  KANSAS  STATE  AGRICUL- 
TURAL COLLEGE. 

At  the  time  of  the  establishment  of  the  land-grant  colleges 
of  the  United  States,  the  education  of  industrial  classes  con- 
templated was  limited  to  students  in  attendance  at  the  institu- 
tions. In  the  course  of  a  few  years  various  lines  of  research 
were  established  at  these  institutions,  and  these  have  growji 
to  be  of  great  importance,  especially  to  the  agricultural  inter- 
ests, but  including  engineering  as  well.  A  third  field  of  service 
which  has  been  developed  consists  in  bringing  the  resources 
of  the  institution  to  the  public  at  large  by  a  considerable 
variety  of  agencies. 

In  the  Agricultural  College  this  work  began  at  a  very  early 
date,  with  the  establishment  of  the  policy  of  holding  farmers' 
institutes  annually  in  as  many  places  in  the  state  as  funds 
would  permit.  However,  until  recently  the  number  of  insti- 
tutes held  was  very  small.  In  1912  the  Agricultural  College 
took  scientific  and  practical  industrial  information  to  350,000 
people  of  the  state,  or  about  one-fifth  of  the  total  population. 
This  information  was  conveyed  through  numerous  channels, 
the  most  important  being  farmers'  institutes,  railroad  trains 
carrying  agricultural  speakers  with  means  of  demonstration 
and  illustration,  movable  schools  in  home  economics,  home 
economics  clubs,  addresses  before  granges  and  meetings  for 
the  promotion  of  good  roads  and  better  rural  schools.  Over 
sixteen  thousand  heads  of  families  are  enrolled  in  the  384 
farmers'  institute  organizations  maintained  in  the  state  in  con- 
nection with  the  College. 

The  influence  of  the  College  has  been  strongly  felt  in  the 
introduction  and  promotion  of  the  use  of  drainage  tile,  con- 
crete bridges  and  silos.  Through  the  systematic  efforts  of 
the  College  there  are  now  thirty-five  hundred  silos  in  the  state, 
whereas  there  were  but  sixty-two  three  years  ago.  The 
county  commissioners  in  three-fourths  of  the  counties  have 
adopted  the  policy  of  building  concrete  bridges  only,  and  in 
the  last  three  years  the  College  has  furnished  plans  and  speci- 
fications for  more  than  three  hundred  bridges  and  has  in- 
spected the  sites  of  hundreds  of  bridges  and  bridge  structures. 
More  mil^  of  drain  tile  have  been  laid  in  the  last  three  years 
than  in  the  entire  previous  history  of  the  state. 

The  College  is  codperating  with  farmers  in  the  improve- 
ment of  staple  crops  and  in  ascertaining  what  varieties  are 
best  adapted  to  the  several  conditions  of  climate  and  soil. 
This  work  is  going  on  in  every  county  but  four  in  the  state. 
It  is  estimated  that  more  than  two  million  acres  of  wheat  in

Eighteenth  Bietmial  Report.  9 

Kansas  last  year  were  grown  from  seed  wheat  directly  de- 
scended from  that  introduced  and  improved  by  the  College. 

A  systematic  survey  of  the  soils  of  the  state  is  being  con- 
ducted in  cooperation  with  the  United  States  Department  of 
Agriculture.  The  results  of  a  preliminary  survey  of  the 
entire  state  west  of  Salina  have  been  published  and  a  detailed 
survey  of  several  counties  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  state  has 
been  completed.  The  typical  soil  formations  of  about  fifteen 
of  the  counties  of  the  state  have  been  sampled  for  analysis, 
and  the  analyses  completed  to  a  large  extent.  This  funda- 
mental wor^  will  afford  a  sound  basis  for  advising  farmers 
concerning  methods  of  soil  treatment,  considering  not  only 
immediate  returns  but  permanent  fertility. 

Cooperative  experiments  with  orchardists  in  spraying,  con- 
ducted in  several  parts  of  the  state  last  year,  showed  a  net 
increased  return  per  acre  of  $81.60,  A  similar  increased 
profit  upon  all  of  the  orchards  of  the  state  would  amount  to 
approximately  ten  million  dollars  per  annum. 

The  professor  of  entomology  is  a  member  of  the  State  Ento- 
mological Commission  and  in  charge  of  the  work  of  the  com- 
mission in  the  north  half  of  Kansas.  He  enforces  the  law 
under  which  the  commission  proceeds,  which  deals  primarily 
with  the  examination  and  certification  of  home-grown  nursery 
stock,  and  secondarily  with  stock  coming  from  other  states 
and  countries.  In  the  course  of  this  work,  every  nursery  and 
the  region  for  miles  in  all  directions  around  has  been  exam- 
ined, and  diseased  stock  excluded  from  the  markets.  •  The 
suppression  of  San  Jos£  scale  has  received  special  attention. 

The  College  has  devised  a  simple  and  comparatively  inex- 
pensive method  of  ridding  mills  of  insects  by  heating.  This 
has  been  adopted  almost  without  exception  by  millers  export- 
ing flour,  and  a  difficulty  which  had  threatened  to  break  up  the 
Kansas  flour  export  business  has  been  entirely  eliminated. 

A  continuous  campaign  of  investigation  and  publication  of 
information  has  been  of  considerable  service  to  fanners  in 
their  efforts  to  minimize  damage  from  chinch  bugs,  the  Hes- 
sian fly,  the  com  earworm  and  other  noxious  insects. 

Last  year  the  College  produced  serum  to  vaccinate  more 
than  150,000  hogs  against  hog  cholera.  It  carries  a  large 
store  of  serum  in  reserve,  and  while  the  yearly  loss  from  hog 
cholera  has  amounted  to  from  two  to  ten  million  dollars,  there 
is  now  no  reason  why  a  farmer  may  not  at  small  expense  pro- 
tect himself  from  loss. 

Under  the  provisions  of  a  recent  law,'  the  Colleire  is  in 
charge  of  the  registration  of  every  stallion  in  use  in  the  state, 
and  examines  the  animal  for  soundness  and  inspects  his  pedi- 
gree. The  owners  of  mares  in  the  state  are  thus  protected 
against  animals  which  are  unsound  or  inferior  in  breeding. 

Through  the  dairy  commissioner,  the  College  is  authorized

lU  state  Agricidtural  College. 

to  inspect  all  creameries,  dairies,  iceKsream  factories  and 
cream-buying  stations  of  the  state  and  to  check  the  tests  made 
by  cream  buyers.  In  this  way  sellers  of  cream  are  protected 
-against  fraud  and  the  public  health  safeguarded. 

A  large  part  of  the  food  samples  collected  by  inspectors  for 
the  State  Board  of  Health  are  examined  at  the  College,  includ- 
ing especially  those  connected  directly  with  the  agricultural 
interests,  such  as  cereal,  dairy  and  meat  products. 

Under  the  provisions  of  the  feeding-stuffs  law,  the  College 
registers  and  inspects  feeding  stuffs  offered  for  sale  in  the 
state,  thus  protecting  the  consumer  and  the  right-intentiened 
dealer  from  deleterious  and  deceptive  goods. 

In  a  similar  way,  users  of  commercial  fertilizers  are  insured 
that  the  goods  offered  for  sale  in  this  state  shall  be  as  repre- 
sented. The  importance  of  this  service  is  increasing  from 
year  to  year. 

The  College  maintains  branch  experiment  stations  at  Hays, 
Ogallah,  Dodge  City,  Garden  City  and  Tribune.  These  sta- 
tions investigate  problems  of  immediate  importance  to  the 
several  localities,  and  are  of  great  value  in  determining  the 
types  of  farming  best  suited  to  them.  The  College  also  con- 
ducts demonstrational  experiments  in  various  parts  of  the 
state,  in  order  to  carry  to  the  people  the  results  of  experi- 
mentation at  the  several  stations. 

Experiments  to  test  the  feasibility  of  pumping  water  for 
use  in  irrigation  have  been  made  at  Garden  City  and  at  other 
points  in  Uie  state. 

The  power  and  heating  plant  for  the  statehouse  was  re- 
designed by  the  College  last  year  and  reconstructed,  and,  fol- 
lowing instructions  given  as  to  firing,  its  efficiency  was  greatly 
increased  and  the  smoke  nuisance  eliminated  to  a  large  extent. 

For  the  State  Board  of  Control,  heating  tunnels  were  de- 
signed for  the  Topeka  State  Hospital  and  tests  were  made  of 
radiator  traps.  The  new  engines  and  machinery  purchased 
foi-  the  Penitentiary  were  inspected  by  the  College  before  ac- 
ceptance, and  a  detailed  survey  was  made  of  the  coal  mines, 
shale  pits  and  farm  lands.  The  power  and  lighting  plant  at 
the  Soldiers'  Home  at  Dodge  City  and  the  one  at  the  Branch 
Normal  School  at  Hays  were  tested  by  the  College  before  be- 
ing accepted  by  the  Board.  On  request  of  the  Board  of  Con- 
trol and  the  Executive  Council  of  the  state,  the  College  in- 
spectnS  at  regular  intervals  the  boiler  and  power  plants  of  all 
institutions  under  the  control  of  the  Board,  in  order  to  pre- 
vent accidents  and  to  increase  their  efficiency  through  the 
adoption  of  the  best  methods  of  operation. 

Many  mining  and  manufacturing  propositions  which  were 
submitted  by  the  promoters  for  state  incorporation  were  in- 
vestigated for  the  state  bank  commissioner  in  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  "blue-sky  law."    The  municipalities  of  the  state

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  11 

•call  upon  the  College  for  tests  of  paving  brick  and  other  ma- 
terial previous  to  acceptance,  tests  of  water  and  lighting 
plants,  for  advice  as  to  the  reasonableness  of  charges  for  light 
and  service,  and  in  the  selection  of  machinery  for  power 
planLS,  inspection  of  public  buildings,  etc. 

The  College  advises  commercial  clubs  and  school  boards  of 
the  state,  and  makes  tests  of  materials  for  manufacturing 
cement,  brick  and  tile,  inspects  and  furnishes  heating  plans 
for  schools  and  other  buildings,  advises  concerning  irrigation 
systems,  driveways,  park  improvements,  school  grounds,  etc. 

With  the  exception  of  that  done  by  the  department  of  col- 
lege extension  and  in  connection  with  definite  state  laws,  the 
public  work  of  the  College,  aside  from  teaching  and  investiga- 
tion, is  an  added  service  tending  to  double  the  duty  of  the 
officeirs  giving  it.  Their  work  as  teachers  and  investigators 
is  very  heavy,  and  in  many  cases  much  more  than  is  required 
of  men  in  similar  positions  in  other  institutions,  and  the  sal- 
aries allowed  are,  as  a  rule,  lower  than  those  paid  in  other 
institutions  of  like  grade  in  the  United  States.  However,  the 
work  is  performed  cheerfully,  and  not  only  that  outlined  in 
the  preceding  paragraphs  but  an  immense  amount  for  private 
individuals  in  the  way  of  special  advice  and  investigation.  In 
every  way  the  utmost  effort  is  made  in  rendering  the  institu- 
ton  useful  to  the  taxpayers  of  Kansas. 

As  the  extension  department  carries  the  College  to  the  peo- 
ple through  its  lectures  and  demonstrations,  so  does  the  de- 
partment of  industrial  journalism  keep  the  readers  of  the 
papers  in  Kansas  informed  of  what  the  College  is  doing  in 
agriculture,  domestic  science,  and  engineering  that  would  be 
of  service  to  these  readers  in  their  daily  occupations  and  in 
their  homes.  This  service  extends  far  beyond  the  state  into 
the  leading  magazines  and  newspapers.  In  1912  this  depart- 
ment supplied  the  newspapers  and  farm  journals  of  Kansas 
and  the  country  outside  its  boundaries  nearly  1000  columns 
monthly,  divided  about  evenly  among  the  departments  of  ani- 
mal husbandry,  domestic  science,  horticulture,  dairying,  en- 
gineering and  extension.  More  than  750  publications  used  the 
material  supplied  daily  and  weekly  by  the  department  of  in- 
dustrial journalism  in  1912. 

It  is  conceded  on  every  hand  that  the  Agricultural  College 
of  Kansas  is  closer  to  the  people  and  serves  the  state  more 
completely  than  perhaps  any  other  agricultural  college  in  the 
United  States.  It  is  referred  to  as  a  model  or  type  in  other 
states  as  an  institution  that  serves  its  people.  While  this  is 
true,  it  should  be  remembered  that  it  is  costing  actually  less, 
in  proportion  to  the  service  rendered,  than  any  other  like  in- 
stitution .in  the  country.  For  example:  taking  the  total  in- 
come from  all  sources  and  deducting  the  amount  used  for 
permanent  improvements,  such  as  buildings,  as  shown  by  the

last  annual  report  of  the  United  States  commissioner  of  edu- 
cation, the  cost  to  the  state  and  the  federal  government,  per 
student,  in  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College  is  $107  per 
year.  At  the  Iowa  Agricultural  College  it  is  $214,  just  double 
the  amount.  In  the  Indiana  Agricultural  College  (Purduo 
University)  it  is  $273,  Michigan  $262,  Massachusetts  Agricul- 
tural College  $456,  Maryland  Agricultural  College  $539,  per 
student  per  year.  There  is  only  one  such  institution  in  the 
United  States  where  the  cost  is  less  than  in  Kansas,  and  thai: 
is  in  Arkansas.

REPORT  OF  THE  DIVISION  OF  AGRICULTURE. 

To  Preeident  H.  J.  Waters: 

The  Division  of  Agriculture  occupiea  two  distinct  fields,  that  of  teach- 
ing agriculture  in  the  College,  and  that  of  carrying  cm  investigation  a 
relating  to  agricultural  matters.  The  work  of  teaching  belongs  to  the 
College  of  Apiculture,  and  for  administration  purposes  the  adniinistra- 
tive  officer  is  designated  as  Dean.  The  investigational  work  belongs 
to  the  Experiment  Station  and  the  administrative  officer  is  known  as 
Director.  In  the  Division  of  Agriculture  the  Dean  of  Agriculture  and 
Director  of  the  Experiment  Station  are,  according  to  the  regulations  of 
the  Board  of  Regoits,  the  same  person. 

The  departments  of  the  College  reporting  to  the  Dean  of  Agriculture 
are  as  follows:  Agronomy,  animal  husbandry,  dairy  husbandry,  forestry, 
horticulture,  milling  industry,  poultry  husbandry,  and  veterinary  science. 
The  departments  reporting  to  the  Director  of  the  Experiment  Station 
are  as  follows:  Agronomy,  animal  husbandry,  bacteriology,  botany, 
chemistry,  dairy  husbandry,  entomology  and  ioology,  forestry,  horticul- 
ture, milling  industry,  poultry  husbandry,  and  veterinary  science. 

AGRICULTURAL  TEACHING. 

The  beginning  of  this  biennium,  fall  of  1910,  marks  a  distinct  advance- 
ment in  the  agricultural  instruction  of  the  College.  Not  only  were  the 
entrance  requirements  raised,  but  the  courses  of  study  were  revised.  The 
purpose  of  the  change  was  t«  give  more  fundamental  instruction  in 
the  sciences  underlying  agriculture,  and  to  introduce  earlier  in  the 
the  course  some  of  the  more  practical  subjects  required  of  every  agri- 
cultural student.  The  change  in  the  courses  made  it  possible  for  the 
student  to  elect  agriculture  during  his  freshman  year,  and  to  follow  a 
consistent  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  ba!chelor  of  science  in  agri- 
culture in  either  of  the  four  courses— agronomy,  animal  husbanory, 
dairy  husbandry,  or  horticulture;  the  first  two  years  of  these  courses 
being  the  same  and  so  arranged  as  to  lay  the  groundwork  for  the 
student's  future  specialization  during  his  junior  and  senior  years.  The 
course  in  veterinary  medicine  was  also  revised,  making  it  a  four-year 
technical  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine. 
In  the  extending  of  the  subfreshman  course  from  one  to  two  years,  such 
practical  subjects  as  stock  judging,  grain  production,  fruit  judging  and 
dairy  judging  were  introduced  into  the  course,  in  order  that  the  students 
who  come  to  the  College  without  sufficient  preparation  to  enter  the  fresh- 
man year  may  get  some  of  the  more  practical  phases  of  agriculture 
which  could  be  studied  before  they  had  had  their  fundamental  instruction 
in  the  sciences. 

Enrollment.  During  the  past  three  years  the  enrollment  has  been  as 
follows:

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  27 

r  students  are  pre- 
e  gradaat«s  of  high 

...     „  „  _      n  who  have  had  the 

advantage  of  a  four-year  hig:h-school  course  are  better  prepared  to 
undertake  the  work  of  the  four-year  course  in  agriculture  than  those 
who  have  barely  enough  entrance  requireineRta  to  give  them  a  freshman 
assignment.  The  extra  two  years  in  the  high  school  are  of  great  value 
to  the  student  in  preparin^f  him  for  his  collegfe  work,  even  though  it 
may  not  be  directly  in  line  with  his  future  studies. 

The  Faevlty.  Several  changes  in  the  personnel  of  the  faculty  have 
occurred  at  the  beginning,  and  during  the  last  two  years.  Professor 
Jardine  succeeded  Professor  TenEyck  as  head  of  the  agronnny  depart- 
ment. Professor  TenEyck  became  superintendent  of  the  Ft.  Hays  station. 
Professor  Reed  succeeded  Professor  Kendall  as  head  of  the  dairy  depart- 
ment, September  1,  1910,  Professor  Kendall  resigning.  On  January  1, 
1911,  Professor  Kinzer  resigned.  His  place  was  fllled  by  the  appointment 
of  Professor  Cochel,  July  1,  1912.  On  January  1,  1912,  the  poultry  de- 
partment was  organized  with  Professor  Lippincott  at  its  head.  The 
department  of  milling  industry  was  organized  in  1909,  and  Professor 
Fitz  appointed  as  Professor  of  Milling  Industry.  The  department  of 
forestry  was  organized  in  July,  1910,  and  Professor  Scott  appointed  as 
state  forester  and  head  of  the  forestry  department  of  the  College.  A 
large  number  of  assistants  have  been  appointed  to  fill  the  vacancies  of 
men  who  have  resigned  to  accept  better  positions,  and  to  All  vacancies 
created  by  the  Board  of  Regents  in  organizing  new  work  in  the  depart- 
ments. There  has  been  less  change  of  men  in  the  instruction  force 
during  the  past  year  than  for  several  years  previous.  The  men  are 
better  satisfied  with  the  line  of  work,  and  with  their  prospects  for  the 
future  in  the  development  of  their  particular  work.  This  condition 
means  a  great  deal,  so  far  as  the  continuity  and  permanency  of  the  work 
of  the  institution  is  concerned.  The  chief  difficulty  to  overcome  at  the 
present  time  in  holding  men  is  the  inability  of  the  school  to  pay  salaries 
comparable  with  those  paid  in  some  other  institutions  of  the  country, 
and  until  the  College  is  placed  on  a  basis  where  it  can  reasonably  com- 
pete with  other  institutions,  particularly  in  the  line  of  agricultural 
teaching  and  research,  it  will  become  more  and  more  difficult  to  hold  the 
best  men  to  the  institution.  They  can  not  be  blamed  for  accepting  poai- 
tions  with  better  salaries  when  such  are  offered. 

WOKK  or  THE  DEPARTMBNTS. 

Agronomy.  The  Agronomy  Department  covers  the  subjects  of  farm 
crops,  soils,  and  farm  machinery.  The  teaching  of  such  subjects  as  farm 
crops  includes  the  preparation  of  the  seed  bed,  the  cultivation  of  the  crops, 
and  the  handling  and  harvesting  of  the  crop  to  the  point  where  it  is 
marketed  in  the  form  of  grain  or  forage,  either  through  the  stock  on 
the  farm  or  by  direct  sale  from  the  farm.  The  student  is  taught  all  of 
the  principles  relating  to  this  subject,  and  their  applications  under 
emditions  as  they  exist  in  Kansas.  The  use  of  farm  machinery  in  the 
ordinary  farming  operations,  the  principles  for  which  such  machinery 
is  constructed,  and  its  care  and  management,  are  included  in  the  course 
which  the  student  must  follow  in  agronomy.  A  four-year  course  in 
agronomy,  leading  to  the  degree  of  bachelor  of  science  in  agriculture,  is 
offered.  In  this  course  the  student  takes  as  his  major  subject  the 
coursea  otTered  in  the  department  of  agronomy. 

Animal  Husbandry.  The  Animal  Husbandry  Department  teaches  the 
principles  of  breeding,  feeding  and  management  of  all  classes  of  live 
stock  except  dairy  cattle  and  poultry.  The  department  maintains  large 
berds  of  cattle,  hogs,  sheep  and  horses,  for  demonstration  purposes 
and  for  laboratory  work  in  stock  judging,  which  students  in  animal 
husbandry  are  required  to  take.  AU  of  the  principal  breeds  in  these 
^lasw«  of  live  stock  are  well  represented.     A  four-year  course  m  animal

husbandry  is  offered,  in  which  the  student  takes  his  major  work  in  the 
subjects  taught  in  the  department  of  animal  husbandry.  The  course 
leads  to  the  degree  of  bachelor  of  science  in  agricultare,  and  is  intfoided 
to  fit  students  for  the  management  of  live-stock  farms,  the  handling  of 
live  stock  in  general,  or  the  teaching  of  live-stock  subjects.  The  students 
in  animal  husbandry  get  a  certain  amount  of  work  in  the  department 
of  agronomy,  and  have  sufficient  fundamental  work  in  the  sciences  on 
which  to  develop  an  intelligent  understanding  of  the  general  subjects 
of  live-stock  farming. 

WORK   OF  THE   AGRICULTURAL   EXPE3UUENT    STATION. 

The  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  concerns  itself  with  the  problems 
of  the  farm  and  with  those  industries  closely  related  to  the  farm.  The 
work  follows  along  several  general  and  well-defined  lines,  such  as  research, 
demonstration,  the  enforcement  of  state  laws  relating  to  agriculture,  the 
manufacture  and  distribution  of  serums,  vaccines,  rodent  poisons,  etc.. 
and  acting  in  the  capacity  of  expert  advisers  on  general  agricultural 
matters  and  related  subjects,  and  making  a  general  soil  survey  of  the 
state.  These  general  lines  of  work  shade  into  each  other  at  various 
points  of  contact  in  such  a  way  that  it  is  impossible  to  divide  them  and 
give  each  a  distinctive  and  separate  part  in  the  Station  plans  and  organi- 
zation, many  of  the  chief  projects  of  the  Station  combining,  in  a  way, 
more  or  less  of  all  of  these  various  features. 

The  following  lines  of  work  have  been  in  progress  during  the  past 
year: 

Cooperative  Experimental  Work  among  the  Formers,  This  work  con- 
sists largely  of  cooperative  experiments  which  have  heen  established  on 
individual  farms  in  101  counties  of  the  state.  Three  men  have  been 
employed  in  this  work  for  a  part  of  their  time,  and  another  man  for 
a  lew  days,  and  the  expenses  of  others  who  have  taken  tri^  in  the 
interests  of  this  work  have  been  paid  from  the  funds  of  this  project. 
Work  has  been  conducted,  or  started,  in  all  but  ten  counties  of  the  state. 
The  result  of  the  work,  for  the  most  part,  was  lost  in  thirty  counties, 
due  to  dry  and  hot  weather.  The  general  plan  of  the  year's  work  has 
been  along  six  lines;  First,  seed-wheat  inspection;  second,  distribution 
of  seeds  for  variety  testing;  third,  distribution  of  seeds  for  the  jntro- 
ducti<»i  of  crops  into  sections  where  such  crops  were  not  already  being 
grown;  fourth,  experiments  in  crop  sequence,  particularly  on  alfalfa 
sod;  sixth,  preliminary  work  to  secure  ideas  for  use  in  next  season's 
work  and  to  develop  permanent  plans. 

In  the  wheat- inspection  work  180  farms  were  inspected  and  a  report 
published  giving  the  quality  of  the  seed,  its  purity,  and  any  other  im- 
portant facts.  The  price  asked  by  the  farmer  was  also  given.  These 
reports  were  sent  broadcast  over  the  state,  and  resulted  in  the  farmers 
having  good  seed  finding  a  ready  market  for  it.  It  has  placed  good 
seed  in  every  county  of  the  state.  The  work  of  this  wheat  inspection 
has  proven  to  be  very  profitable  to  the  farmers,  and  if  it  can  be  carried 
on  for  the  next  four  or  five  years  will  result  in  a  very  material  increase 
in  the  wheat  yield  of  the  state,  due  to  better  seed. 

There  were  fifty  com  tests  and  twenty-five  alfalfa  sod  tests  carried 
on  during  the  year.  This  cooperative  experimental  work  prmnisea  to 
be  one  of  the  most  popular  and  one  of  the  most  profitable  lines  of  &a- 
deavor  that  the  Agricultural  College  is  carrying  on  direct  with  the 
farmers  of  Kansas. 

Cooperative  Experiments  in  Orchard  Spraying.  For  several  years 
Kansas  has  had  approximately  five  million  apple  trees  in  bearmg,  which 
in  extra  good  years  produce  about  one  bushel  each,  but  average  leas 
than  one-half  bushel  each.  For  the  purpose  of  utilizing  this  vast  orchard 
resource,  this  department,  in  cooperation  with  that  of  horticulture  and 
the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Entomology,  went  into  the  field  in  the  apring  of 
1910  and  treated  in  a  demonstrational  way  seven  orchards.     These  or-

charda  were  located  in  as  manj;  different  counties,  and  either  had  had 
no  aprayin?  or  had  been  inefficiently  treated  previously.  At  t^  close 
of  the  season  the  spraying  was  found  to  have  brought  about  an  average 
gain  of  four  bushels  of  merchantable  fruit  per  tree  at  a  cost  of  tfair^- 
«ght  cents.  The  net  return  from  selling  this  fruit  at  fifty  cents  per 
bushel  (covmting  forty  trees  per  acre)  was  J64.80  per  acre.  The  people 
who  lived  within  reach  of  the  demonstration  orchards  watched  the  re- 
sults closely,  and  at  the  close  of  the  eeaaon  gathered  at  a  set  date  in 
these  orchards  where  methods  and  results  were  explained  and  discussed. 
The  cranmunities  in  which  the  demanatration  treatments  were  made  last 
year  were  kept  in  touch  with  and  the  interest  aroused  by  the  results 
was  found  to  have  taken  permanent  root. 

Demonstration  treatments  during  1911  in  the  apple  region  of  north- 
east Kansas  have  shown  an  average  gain  from  spraying  of  4.85  bushels 
of  merchantable  apples  per  tree,  at  about  the  cost  of  last  year,  making 
an  averaTO  net  return  of  fSl.fiO  per  acre.  By  proper  grading  and 
handling  the  groea  returns  frtmi  Eales  are  easily  more  than  doubled. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  note  the  increase  of  interest  in  proper  orchard 
spraying  as  shown  in  the  improved  spirit  of  cooperation.  In  1910  in 
many  cases  we  had  to  furnish  both  materials  and  machinery,  while  in 
1911  every  cooperator  furnished  a  power  sprayer,  all  the  materials,  and 
all  the  labor  except  that  of  one  demonstrator. 

It  is  hoped  that  this  campaign  for  the  utilization  of  our  apple  orchard 
resources  may  not  stop  until  every  owner  or  lessor  of  an  apple  orchard 
shall  understand  how  to  get  the  best  apples  it  can  produce. 

Cooperative  Eseperimentg  with  the  Kanaae  MilU.  In  the  early  spring 
of  1910  a  committee  representing  the  Southwestern  Millers'  League  and 
the  Kansas  millers  came  to  the  Agricultural  College  and  requested  that 
the  College  clean  up  insect  infestation  in  the  export  mills,  that  marine 
insurance  of  flour  exported  by  way  of  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  might  be  re- 
newed, it  having  been  withdrawn  on  the  ground  of  too  great  Tosses  due 
to  injurious  insects.  The  department  of  entomology  detailed  one  of  its 
mcmbera  with  sufficient  assistantB  to  do  this  work.  Not  only  was  the 
work  done  in  so  satisfactory  a  manner  that  the  insurance  was  readily 
^[tended,  but  a  method  for  ridding  mills  of  injurious  insects  (now  known 
as  the  heating  mettiod)  was  devised,  which,  because  of  its  simplicity  and 
inexpensiveness,  pmntses  to  revolutionize  tne  methods  of  mill-insect  con- 
trol. The  millers  at  a  late  meeting  have  adopted  the  method  as  official 
and  recommended  that  all  mills  be  equipped  with  the  necessary  heating 
apparatus. 

During  1911  the  benefits  of  inspecticm  for  injurious  insects  have  been 
«xteadad  to  practically  alt  the  milling  plants  in  Kansas.  Six  of  the 
important  local  milling  plants  have  installed  the  heating  system  and 
more  plan  to  do  so  as  socm  as  possible.  Two  plants,  one  at  Monticello, 
Ind.,  and  one  at  Pittsfield,  111.,  have  installed  the  same  system  under 
our  direction. 

For  the  purpose  of  determining  whether  insect  losses  in  flour  shipped 
to  Europe  uirough  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  was  due  to  infestation  in  domestic 
ports,  on  ^ipboard,  or  on  foreign  docks,  and  to  discover  some  method 
of  preventing  the  loss  if  it  should  prove  traceable  to  any  of  these  sources, 
a  member  of  this  department  was  detailed  to  visit  domestic  ports,  cross 
with  a  flour-laden  vessel  from  New  Orleans,  and  to  inspect  the  European 
ports  where  this  Kuisas  flour  is  commonly  discharged.  In  the  course  of 
this  phase  of  the  work  the  following  ports  were  inspected:  New  Orleans,' 
Newport  News,  Baltimore,  Philadelphia,  Liverpool,  London,  Glasgow, 
Manchester,  Leith,  Belfast,  Amsterdam,  Rotterdam,  Antwerp,  Bremen, 
and  Hamburg.  This  study  shows  conclusively  that  flour  leaving  the 
mills  clean  and  transported  without  undue  delay  will  reach  the  foreign 
consignee  clean.

30  State  Agricultural  College. 

Eftnsaa  crops  than  any  other  one  insect,  no  measures  of  control  generally- 
acceptable  to  our  people  have  been  devised.  Realising  this  fact,  the 
department  of  entomology  in  the  spring  of  1909  began  a  study  of  the- 
qaestion.  The  fact  that  those  bugs  which  pass  the  winter  in  sufficient 
numbers  ta  do  serious  damage  the  following  season  hibernate  in  bunch 
grass,  big  bloeat«m,  and  some  other  similar  clump-forming  grasses,  was 
soon  llrmly  established,  and  a  limited  test  of  the  efficiency  of  the  con- 
sumption of  chinch-bug  cover  by  means  of  Are  was  carried  out  with 
pr<»nising  results. 

For  the  purpose  of  subjecting  winter  burning  to  a  thoroughly 
practical  test,  and  of  developing  both  its  strength  and  its  weakness, 
during  November  and  Dec^nber  of  1910  the  chinch-bug  covtx  was 
stripped  from  an  area  of  twenty-five  square  miles  of  &nning  land 
in  north  Sumner  county.  The  results  were  so  truly  remarkable  that 
we  have  been  led  to  wonder  that  it  has  not  been  tried  before.  Through- 
out the  summer  the  hugs  rsngfd  from  one-twentieth  to  one-sixth  as 
numerous  on  the  burned  as  on  the  unbumed  area,  and  entraed  winter 
quarters  this  fall  at  the  rate  of  one  hundred  per  clump  of  bunch-grass, 
as  compared  with  more  than  five  hundred  in  the  unbumed  area.  The 
wheai;  of  the  burned  area  made  2.1  bushels  more  to  the  acre  than  that 
in  the  unburned,  and  no  rows  of  com  were  sucked  dry  at  harvest  time 
in  the  burned  areas  whereas  from  one  to  forty  or  more  rows  were  des- 
troyed in  the  fields  of  the  unbumed  area. 

The  farmers  about  Conway  Springs  are  well  pleased  and  are  burn- 
ing again  this  year.  Another  area  will  be  burned  at  Independence  this 
winter  as  a  further  test  of  the  method. 

In  course  of  studies  to  devise  practical  methods  by  which  the  bugs 
may  be  destroyed  at  harvest  time,  the  departmmt  of  entomology,  in 
cooperation  with  the  department  of  agronomy,  has  been  able  to  de- 
monstrate that  at  comparatively  small  expense,  by  use  of  the  dust  furrow, 
gasoliiic  torch  and  small  spray  pump,  blocks  of  com  having  small  grain 
on  three  sides  can  be  so  well  protected  that  none  of  the  com  wHl  be 
seriously  damaged.  Apparently  for  the  first  time  the  practicability  of 
common  laundry  soap  for  the  destruction  of  chinch  bugs  thickly  con- 
gregate on  stalks  of  corn  has  been  dononstrated.  This  treatment  des- 
trvys  the  bugs  but  does  not  injure  the  plants.  A  mixture  of  tobacco 
decoction  and  laundry  soap  has  also  proven  a  satisfactory  substance  for 
destruction  of  chinch  bugs  under  these  conditions. 

Experiments  in  the  Eradication  of  the  Wesstan  Ffy. ^Preceding,  during 
and  following  the  1908  outbreak  of  Hessian  fly,  which  cost  the  people 
of  Kansas  not  less  than  ten  millian,  bushels  of  wheat,  the  department 
of  entomology  studied  this  insect  with  a  view  to  perfecting  measures 
for  its  control  under  Kansas  conditions.  A  practicable  method  has  beei 
devised  consisting  simply  of  a  special  arrangement  of  best  wheat-growing 
practice,  which  will  at  once  give  opportunity  to  obtain  the  maximum 
yield  of  wheat,  leaving  the  fly  entirely  out  of  consideration,  and  at  the 
same  time  avoid  most  of  the  fly  damage.  We  hope  with  the  reappearance 
of  the  fly  to  subject  this  method  to  the  severest  possible  test  and  to 
introduce  it  into  general  farm  practice. 

Eradicati<m  of  Com  Ear-worm. — Each  year  one  of  every  two  ears 


of  corn  produced  In  Kansas  is  attacked  by  one  or  more  com  ear-worms, 
reducing  the  total  yield  of  the  state  to  the  extent  of  two  and  one-half 
to  three  million  dollBrs,  not  to  mention  the  dsmsge  to  domestic  animals 


traceable  to  tlw  consumption  of  wormy  com,  or  the  difficulty  which 
the  farmer's  wife  experiences  every  time  she  tries  to  get  a  "mess"  of 
sweet  com  for  the  table. 

By  a  series  of  careful  studies  this  department  has  beoi  able  to  show 
how  by  late  fall  or  early  winter  plowiRg  of  Um  infested  cornfield  one 
hundred  per  cent  of  the  over-wintering  papK  may  be  destnyvd,  how 
tiie  individual  farmer  can  by  early  planting  on  clean  land  eliminate  at

least  cae-half  of  the  normal  damage,  and  how  by  judicious  use  of  powdered 
arsenate  of  lead  sweet  com  may  be  adequately  protect«d. 

Manufacture  ond  Distribution  of  Anti-hog-eholera  Serum. — About 
three  million  cubic  eentimetera  of  serum  have  been  manufactured  and 
distributed  during  the  fiscal  year  1912,  reaching  a  very  large  number 
of  farmers  in  all  counties  at  the  state.  The  Station  manitains  the  largest 
serum  plant  in  the  country  for  the  manufacture  of  this  serum,  and  has 
about  two  million  cubic  centimeters  of  serum  in  storage  at  the  present 
time  for  future  use.  This  work  has  resulted  in  the  saving  of  hundreds 
of  herds  of  hogs  from  devastation  of  cholera,  and  has  been  one  of  the 
most  profitable  things  that  the  Experiment  Station  has  entered  into 
during  the  year,  so  far  as  the  saving  of  actual  value  to  the  farmer  is 
concerned.  The  work  was  started  without  extra  appropriation,  and  the 
aerum  is  sold  to  the  farmers  at  a  price  much  less  than  that  asked  by  com- 
mercial concerns. 

Stallion  Registry  Board. — The  stallion  registry  board  has  r^stered, 
up  to  date,  eight  thousand  stallions,  and  has  issued  certificate  which 
will  give  direct  information  to  mare  ovmers  as  to  the  breeding  and  degree 
of  soundness  of  the  stallions  they  are  using.  The  work  is  receiving 
very  favorable  comments  from  stallion  and  mare  owners  throughout  the 
state,  and  is  proving  a  very  good  agmcy  for  ridding  the  state  of  un- 
desirable stallions.  Host  of  these  are  going  into  states  not  having 
stallion  registry  laws. 

Dairy  CommietiQner'e  Office, — -The  Dairy  Commissioner's  office  handles 
all  matter  pertaining  to  the  dairy  laws  of  Kansas.  The  work  of  the 
office  has  been  crowded  to  the  limit  during  the  past  year;  11,278  letters 
have  been  written,  1146  samples  of  milk  testod,  and  inspections  made  of 
creameries,  ice-cream  factories,  dairies,  and  cream-receiving  stations 
amounting  to  over  250.  The  dairy  commissioner's  office,  in  cooperation 
with  the  director's  office  and  the  department  of  dairy  husbandry,  is 
carrying  on  an  extensive  investigation  as  to  the  quality  of  Kansas  cream, 
with  a  view  of  issuing  regulations  based  on  proper  laws  which  will  aiable 
the  creameries  of  the  state  to  vastly  improve  the  quality  of  their  product. 
'Hie  consummation  of  this  project  means  a  very  large  increase  in  the 
value  of  dairy  products  for  the  state.  The  work  is  Ming  carried  on  at 
ten  different  points,  distributed  over  the  state  on  various  railroad  lines 
tributary  to  the  large  creamery  caiters  at  Topeka,  Kansas  City,  Wichita, 
Omaha  and  Lincoln. 

Egg  Inveatiffationa. — The  Station  has  had  in  progress  during  the  part 
year  an  extended  investigation  of  the  quality  of  eggs  marketed  in  Kansas. 
This  work  has  resulted  in  a  determination  to  place  the  Kansas  egg  raisers, 
or  producers,  on  a  plane  where  they  can  produce  the  very  beat  e^gs  that 
can  be  found  on  the  general  market  of  the  country.  With  this  m  view, 
the  Station  has  established  a  campaign  of  education  among  the  grocery- 
nun  who  buy  e^gs  throughout  the  state,  encouraging  them  to  buy  on 
a  candling  iMsis,  and  instructing  them  in  the  care  and  handling  of  the 
eggs.  This  will  mean  the  saving  of  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars 
to  the  grocerymen,  and  incidentally  the  saving  of  as  much  to  the  farmers 
of  Kansas. 

Mining  Investigatttnu. — The  department  of  milling  industry  has  oi- 
gaged  in  investigations  relating  to  tiie  manufacture  of  flour  from  Kansas 
wheats,  and  has  established  a  line  of  research  to  determine  the  milling 
qualities  of  wheats  grown  on  different  types  of  soils,  in  different  parts 
of  the  state,  under  different  climatic  conditions,  and  to  determine  the 
baking  qualities  of  this  flour  as  shown  by  scientific  baking  tests.  This 
work  ia  attracting  a  large  amount  of  attention  from  the  millers  of  the 
state,  and  of  adjoining  states,  and  bids  fair  to  be  of  vast  commercial 
importance  to  the  state  of  Kansas,  and  to  bring  a  great  deal  of  return 
to  the  farmers  of  the  state  because  of  a  better  understanding  of  Kansas 
hard  wheat  and  its  value  in  fiour  making.

32  State  Agricultural  College. 

State  Soil  Survey. — The  College,  in  cooperation  with  the  federal  De- 
partment of  Agricultare,  is  carrying  on  a  detailed  soil  survey  of  all  the 
counties  in  eastern  Eajtsas.  During  the  p«st  year  the  countieB  of 
Shawnee  and  Rraio  have  been  surveired,  and  maps  showing  the  typea 
of  soil  and  their  distribution  have  beeu  published.  This  work  ia  of 
utmost  importance  to  the  farmers  of  the  state,  and  will  aid  the  College 
auUioritiea  in  giving  definite  instruction  as  to  treatment  of  various  soils, 
the  rotations  of  crops,  etc  A  soil  survey  is  the  basis  of  our  agronomic 
work. 

Irrigation  InvesHgdHona. — There  has  been  conducted  during  the  past 
year  in  western  Kansas  a  aeries  of  investigations  to  determine  the  use 
of  water  and  the  possibility  of  canning  on  irrigation,  in  a  small  way, 
by  the  farmers  of  western  Kansas.  The  first  work  has  been  to  establirii 
an  irrigation  plant  on  the  Experiment  Station  farm  at  Gardm  Cit^. 
This  work  is  done  in  cooperation  with  the  federal  Department  of  Agri- 
culture in  Washington.  There  is  great  interest  in  irrigation  in  weetem 
Kansas,  and  great  possibilities  in  raising  water  for  irrrigation  by  means 
of  pumps  from  the  underground  flow.  The  Station  at  Garden  City  is 
established  to  determine  the  cost  of  pumping,  the  use  of  water,  and  the 
number  of  acres  and  the  kinds  of  crops  that  can  be  most  profitably  grown 
under  that  system  of  irrigation. 

The  Fe«ding-Btvff  Inapeetion. — The  experiment  station  is  charged 
with  the  enforcement  of  the  feeding-atuffs  laws  of  the  state.  There  have 
been  something  over  four  hundred  different  kinds  of  feed  registered  for 
sale  m  Kansas.  The  law  provides  certain  requirements  of  the  manu- 
facturer for  the  protection  of  the  consumer.  The  feed  buyers  of  *"°""« 
are  beginning  to  understand  that  this  is  a  protection  to  them,  as  th^ 
can  buy  their  feeds  subject  to  the  guaranty  placed  on  the  label  and  fed 
assured  that  they  are  getting  what  is  guaranteed. 

Ferti&eer  Laws. — The  experiment  station  is  charged  with  the  en- 
forcement  of  the  fertilizer  laws  of  the  state.  Fertiliser  manufacturers 
must  register  their  fertilizers  and  give  their  guaranteed  analysis.  They 
roust  be  sold  to  the  consumer  under  this  an^ysis  and  under  the  brand 
which  is  registered  at  the  experiment  station.  This  protects  the  farmer 
from  fraudulent  fertilizers  and  helps  him  in  deciding  what  is  best  for 
his  own  particular  needs. 

Branch  Experiment  StatiiMta. — There  are  branch  experiment  stations 
established  at  Hays,  Ogallah,  Dodge  City,  Garden  City,  and  Tribime. 
These  are  supported  from  general  funds  or  by  direct  apinvpriation,  and 
are  interested  primarily  in  crop  production  in  the  weetem  part  of  Kan- 
sas, where  the  light  rainfall  makes  ordinary  methods  of  farming  very 
difficult.  At  Garden  City  the  chief  feature  of  the  work,  in  addition  to 
dry  farming,  is  the  irrigation  planL  At  Dodge  Ci^  it  is  the  dairy  herd. 
At  Ogallah  and  Tribune  the  work  is  largely  that  of  determining  methods 
and  means  of  preparing  the  soil  for  the  retoition  of  moisture  and  the 
growing  of  crops  under  dry  conditions.  At  Hays  a  large  nambv  of 
inveat^tims  are  in  progress,  but  the  primary  object  of  all  of  them  ia 
to  determine  the  best  means  of  conservmg  moisture  and  cultivating  the 
soil  so  as  to  insure  a  uniform  cropping  condition  under  the  li^t  rain- 
fall of  that  region.  At  Hays  and  Garden  City  the  federal  eovemmait 
also  carries  on  work  in  coSperation  with  the  Kansas  station,  determining 
the  best  crops  and  the  best  methods  of  gr  '  '  '  ' 
ctmditions  that  exist  at  these  two  points. 

New  Agrieultvral  Building. — There  was  appropriated  by  the  legisla- 
ture  in  1911  the  sum  of  |12G,000  for  the  first  wing  of  the  gmsral  agri- 
cultural biiilding.  This  wing  is  nearly  completed,  and  wQl  house  the 
departments  of  agronomy  (with  its  subdivision  of  soils),  animal  hus- 
bandry, milling  industry,  and  temporary  offices  for  the  Dean  of  Agri- 
culture and  Director  of  the  Experiment  Station,  and  for  the  Professor 
of  Poultry  Husbandry.    The  building  will  furnish  materially  increased

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  38 

facilities  for  the  handling  of  the  work  of  class  and  laboratory  in  the 
departments  mentioned.  When  completed  it  will  be  one  of  the  hand- 
somest buildings  on  the  grounds  of  the  Agricultural  College. 

Station  FtTianeee. — The  Station  receives  from  the  federal  gorernment 
$16,000  known  as  the  Adams  fund,  and  |15,000  known  as  the  Hatch 
fond.  Daring  the  past  two  years  the  station  has  had,  through  appro- 
priations from  the  state  legislature,  $22,600  each  year  for  general  work 
of  the  experiment  station,  $7500  for  coSperative  experimental  work  with 
grains,  and  $2000  for  irrigation  investigatitms  in  western  Kansas.  The 
stations  at  Hays,  Dodge  City,  and  Gardrai  City  have  received  appropria- 
tions for  their  own  needs,  while  the  stations  at  Ogallah  and  Tribune ' 
have  been  supported  from  the  general  funds  of  the  experiment  station. 

Considering  the  needs  of  the  state  for  more  information  concerning 
the  problems  which  the  farmer  meets  every  day  in  his  work,  the  state 
should  appropriate  for  the  general  work  of  the  experiment  station  not 
less  than  $70,000  a  year  for  the  next  two  years.  The  funds  from  the 
federal  government  will  remain  the  same.  For  the  special  work  of  co- 
6perative  experiments  with  farmers  the  sum  of  not  less  than  $20,000 
per  annum  should  be  granted  by  the  state,  and  the  purposes  for  which  it 
will  be  used  should  be  extended  to  cover  all  branches  of  agricalture. 
There  is  a  decided  troid  toward  irrigation  in  many  of  the  valleys  in 
western  Kansas,  and  assistance  of  some  sort  is  sorely  needed-  by  the  men. 
who  have  farms  but  have  no  knowledge  of  applying  water  to  th«n,  and 
the  state  should  make  an  appropriation  direct  for  this  purpose  of  not

REPORT  OF  THE  DIVISION  OF  MECHANIC  ARTS. 
To  Preaident  H.  J.  WaterK.- 

The  following  ie  a  brief  BQinniaTy  of  the  work  done  in  the  mechanic 
art«  division  for  the  biennium  aiding  July  lat,  1912.  The  departnientB 
composing  this  division  are  bb  follows: 

Applied  mechanics  and  hydraulics. 

Architectural, 

Civil    engineering, 

Electrical  engineering, 

Heat  and  power, 

Mechanical  drawing  and  machine  design, 

Power  and  experimental  engineering, 

Printing, 

Shop  methods  and  practice. 

Steam  and  gas  engineering. 

Water,  steam  and  gas  distribution,  and  the 

Engineering  experiment  station. 
.  This  summary  la  made  up  from  the  reports  handed  in  by  ttie  heads 
of  the  departments. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  Professor  Seaton,  of  the  departmnit  of  applied 
mechanics  and  hydraulics,  was  absent  on  a  two-years  leave,  the  work 
of  that  department  was  divided  among  the  others,  nelng  done  principally 
by  Professors  Potter- and  Conrad. 

The  total  enrollment  in  the  department  of  shop  methods  and  practice 
was,  for  1910-1911,  1996;  and  for  1911-1912,  2121.  Owing  to  ttie  fact 
that  the  shop  work  was  scheduled  regularly  for  subfreshmen  students, 
the  teaching  work  in  the  carpenter  shop  was  increased  over  60  per  cen^ 
with  no  increase  in  the  teaching  force.  In  order  to  handle  the  work  it 
has  been  necessary  to  employ  additional  assistants  and  pay  them  from 
the  current  expenses  of  the  department  The  work  each  year  was  done 
by  seven  instructors,  all  of  whom  were  called  upon  for  outside  work  in 
connection  with  repairs  and  construction  in  the  engineering  and  other 
departments. 

In  the  department  of  Agriculture  and  Free-hand  Drawing,  with  five 
instructors,  a  total  enrollment  of  2256  was  handled  in  1910-1911,  and  of 
2412  in  1911-1912. 

These  two  departments  have  the  largest  number  of  studoit  hours, 
owing  to  the  t&<A  that  they  handle  more  students  from  other  divisions 
of  the  College,  and  students  from  the  subfreshman  course.  An  inspection 
of  the  report  shows,  however,  that  other  department  handling  fewer 
studen'i£  have,  because  of  a  much  smaller  number  of  instructors  and  be- 
cause of  small  classes,  as  many  or  more  teaching  hours  per  week  per 
instructor. 

The  statistics  contained  in  these  reports  show  that  the  instructors  in 
Mechanic  Arts  division  of  this  College  are  teaching  more  hours  per  we^ 
than  in  the  average  colleges  of  ttie  country,  and  in  addition  to  the 
teaching  work  are  called  on  for  much  other  work  in  connection  with 
college  activities  and  with  research  and  consultation  work  handled  by 
the  Engineering  Experiment  Station. 

During  the  school  year  of  1910-1911  I  collected  some  data  regarding 
the  state  schools  of  the  four  states  of  Nebraska,  Iowa,  Hiasouri,  and 
Blansas.    The  following  figures  give  the  enrollment  in  the  regular  four-

University  of  Misaouri   411  31  1  to  13^ 

University   of  Iowa    180  22  1  to     8  1-5 

These  figures  show  that  of  the  aix  schools  thia  Collage  has  the  second 
largest  enrollment,  the  smallest  number  of  instructors,  and  the  largest 
number  of  studenUi  per  instructor.  They  also  show  that  the  two  atat(» 
having  separate  universities  and  colleges  have  practically  double  the 
enrollment  in  the  engineering  work  over  those  having  the  universities 
and  colleges  combined. 

I  am  pleased  to  say  that  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  we  are  calling  oit 
our  inetructors  for  more  work  than  does  the  average  college,  the  men  in 
the  department  have  carried  on  the  work  cheerfully  and  with  constantly 
increasing  efficiency.  A  few  of  the  instructors  in  the  division  have 
requested  and  secured  leaves  of  absence  without  pay,  for  the  purpose  of 
continuing  their  studies  and  increasing  their  efficiency  to  the  Coll^^. 
However,  owing  to  the  relatively  low  salaries  paid  here,  it  is  not  possible 
for  this  system  to  be  extended  to  any  great  extent,  and  I  therefore 
recommend  that  the  Board  consider  adopting  a  system  in  vogue  in  many 
places,  of  granting  a  full  year  leave  of  absence  on  pay  to  each  instructor 
after  a  service  of  six  consecutive  years;  that  is,  that  each  instructor 
shall  have  every  seventh  year  off  on  full  pay,  upon  the  condition  that  he 
take  up  a  line  of  work  that  is  approved  by  Uie  Board  and  that  will  better 
fit  him  to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  school. 

The  needs  of  the  departments  are  many,  and  will  be  taken  up  in  detail 
in  the  budget  presented  to  the  Board  for  the  coming  legislature.  I 
believe  the  most  important  need  is  to  provide  sufficient  funds  to  permit 
of  paying  salaries  that  will  attract  the  best  men  in  the  profession  and 
that  will  retain  them  when  once  secured,  and  also  permit  a  materiel  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  instructors  employed. 

ENGINEERING  EXPERIMENT  STATION. 

This  being  the  first  report  of  the  engineering  experiment  staticn,  ai 
brief  history  of  its  creation  and  purpose  will  be  given. 

The  engmeering  experiment  elation  was  established  by  the  Board  of 
'  Regents  for  the  purpose  of  carrying  on  a  continued  series  of  teats  of 
engineering  and  manufacturing  value  to  the  state  of  KanEas,  on  a  scale 
soniciently  large  for  the  results  to  be  of  direct  commercial  value. 

With  Uie  above  objects  in  view,  very  extensive  testa  are  being  carried 
on  with  producer  gas,  internal-combustion  engines,  coal,  petroleum  and. 
alcohol  fuels,  compteBsed  air,  brick,  cement  and  concrete.  ' 

A  test  lasting  ten  months  was  Just  completed  on  the  .gaa  producer,, 
and  the  results  when  published  should  prove  of  considerable  value.  Be- 
sides the  lOO-horSepower  Smith  gas  producer  on  which  the  experiments 
were  being  conducted  for  the  past  three  .years,  a  new  type  of  producer 
for  burning  cheap  bituminous  coal  is  being  developed  in  the  experiment 
ttation. 

■  Tests  on  the  actual  commercial  economy  of  small  gasoline  engines 
with  gasoline  and  cheaper  fuels  are  well  under  way,  and  the  results 
up  to  data  should  prove  ef  great  value  to-  prospective  buyers  and  owners 
«  gasoline  engines. 

Research '  work  with  cement,  concrete,  and  various  mineral  fuels  is

being  carried  on,  as  are  the  traction  testa  in  cooperation  with  the  office 
of  Public  Roads  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  A^culture. 

Other  research  problems  in  the  experiment  station  included  a  study 
of  the  "Cost  of  various  power-plant  machinery  and  apparatus"  and  the 
"Effect  of  location  on  the  cost  of  manufacturing  various  products." 
The  results  of  these  inveatijtations  were  incorporatwl  in  bulletins,  which 
are  held  up  on  account  of  lack  of  funds  for  publication. 

Besides  the  experimental  and  investigation  problems  carried  on  by 
the  station,  commercial  tests  on  power  plants,  gas  plants,  gas  wells  and 
pavinfr  materials  were  carried  on  b^  the  various  ofncers  of  the  engineer-

REPORT  OF  THE  DIVISION  OF  HOME  ECONOMICS. 
To  Pretident  H.  J.  WaUrt: 

I  have  the  honor  to  submit  herewith  the  report  of  the  Division  of 
Home  Economics  for  the  biennium  ended  June  30,  1912. 

Home  economies,  as  a  distinctive  subject  of  instruction,  includes  ths 
economic,  sanitary  and  esthetic  aspect  of  food,  clothing  and  shelter  as 
connected  with  their  selection,  preparation  and  use  by  the  family  in  the 
home  or  by  other  groups  of  people.  Instruction  in  the  subject  is  based 
on  laws  of  the  physical,  biolo^cal  and  sociological  sciences;  but  the  fact 
that  home  economics  derives  its  materials  from  a  variety  of  arts  and 
sciences  is  no  argument  against  its  independent  existence.  The  teaching 
must  be  a  selection  of  facts  and  principles  drawn  from  the  physical, 
biological,  economic  and  sociological  sciences,  and  a  presentation  so  related 
to  the  business  and  life  of  the  home  as  to  give  home  economics  an  assured 
place  and  standing  in  the  educational  institutions  and  to  bring  lepslators 
and  the  general  public  to  its  support. 

Under  present  conditions  the  task  of  the  college  teacher  of  home 
econ(»nics  is  a  difficult  and  complicated  one.  By  study  and  research  she 
must  assemble  and  enlarge  a  new  body  of  knowledge  and  give  it  peda- 
gogical fonn.  She  must  prepare  manuals,  textbooks  and  illustrative 
material  in  this  new  subject.  She  must  meet  the  requirements  of  colle- 
giate standards  in  the  intellectual  and  scientific  strength  of  the  home 
economic  courses,  and  at  the  same  time  overcome  the  false  views  of  those 
who  oppose  the  introduction  of  the  practical  into  college  courses.  Besides 
giving  instruction  to  her  college  students  she  must  do  a  large  amount 
of  work  to  secure  general  recognition  of  home  economics  in  the  dranentary 
and  secondary  schools,  and  much  of  that  broader  extension  work  t^ 
which  the  multitudes  of  untrained  women  in  the  homes  are  to  be  en- 
couraged and  inspired. 

It  has  been  the  purpose  of  the  teachers  of  the  division  of  home 
economics  of  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College  during  the  biennium 
just  ended  to  develop  the  work  along  the  lines  indicated.  To  this  end  an 
effort  has  been  made  to  str»igth«i  each  course  offered  by  the  division. 
All  teaching  outlines  have  been  carefully  revised,  and  the  following 
printed  materia!  has  been  prepared:  Domestic  science  department— Out- 
lines in  Elementary  Ccoking;  Principles  of  Cookery;  Table  Etiquette  and 
Table  Service;  Study  of  Foods,  Parts  I  and  II;  and  Practical  Cookery; 
Domestic  art  departmwt — Hand  Sewing  Notes;  Subfreshman  Sewing 
II  Notes;  Subfreshman  Sewing  III  Notes;  and  Making  Shirt-waists 
Suit  NoUs. 

Recognizing  that  to  gain  its  rightful  place  in  a  modem  educational 
system  home  economics  must  be  made  a  definite  subject,  the  scope  and 
purpose  of  which  can  be  fairly  defined,  an  eSort  has  been  made,  by  care- 
ful selection  of  teachers  and  by  an  earnest  and  sympathetic  shidy  of 
the  problems  involved,  to  enhance  the  importance  of  home  economics  as  a 
part  of  a  general  and  adequate  scheme  of  college  education  for  women. 
The  vary  marked  increase  in  the  enrollment  of  the  division  during  the 
biennium  is  gratifying  evidence  of  the  fact  that  the  courses  offered  are 
meeting  the  gaieral  and  increased  demand  for  instruction  along  these 

The  division  of  home  economics  at  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College 
includes  the  departments  of  domestic  science  and  domestic  art  The 
teachers  of  each  department  have  by  painstaking  and  conscientious  effort 
done  all  that  is  possible  to  strengthen  the  work  of  their  d^wrtment,  and 
as  a  result  of  the  harmonious  and  united  efforts  of  the  faculty  of  the 
division  a  marked  progress  is  evidenced.

The  following  changes  have  been  made  in  the  perBonnel  of  the  teaching 
force  of  the  division  since  June  80,  1910,  Missea  Clara  Willis,  Clara 
Smith  and  Grace  Woodward  resigned  September  1,  1910,  from  the 
domestic  science  department,  and  MiBsea  Stella  Stephens,  Laura  Storms 
and  Ada  Noyes  were  elected  assistants  to  fill  vacancies  thus  created. 
The  Board  of  Regents  approved  the  recommendation  for  an  additional 
assistant  in  the  department,  and  Miss  Jane  Humphrey  was  appointed  and 
begafi  her  duties  September  1,  1910.  Misses  Stella  Stephens  and  Ada 
Noyes  resigned  September  1,  1911,  and  Hisses  Carlotta  Ford  and  Jennie 
Caton  were  elected  to  fill  the  vacancies  thus  created.  As  a  recognition 
of  faithful  service,  Misses  Annie  Lindsey  and  Heltn  Hase  were  given 
the  title  of  Instructor  at  this  time.  Mrs,  Van  Zile,  Misses  Dow,  Lindsey 
and  Miles  gave  continuous  service  throughout  the  biennium. 

Htsfi  Schraepel  was  elected  as  an  assistant  in  the  domestic  art  depart- 
ment January,  1911.  In  1911  Misses  Stump,  Byerly,  Fortney,  Donald- 
son and  Schraepel  resigned,  and  Misses  Humfield,  Mutchler,  Bayha, ' 
Smiley  and  Hobbs  were  elected  to  fill  the  vacancies.  On  account  of  the 
increased  number  of  students  in  1911  and  1912  three  student  graduates 
were  employed  at  different  times  to  take  charge  of  some  class  work. 
June  1,  1912,  Miss  Becker,  who  for  nrevious  six  and  one-half  years  had 
administered  the  work  of  the  domestic  art -department,  resigned,  and  Mrs. 
Bessie  Webb  Birdsalt  was  elected  professor  of  domestic  art  to  fil!  the 
vacancy  created  by  Miss  Becker's  resignation;  arrangements  were  also 
made  for  a  new  ftssistant  in  the  department.  Miss  Cowles  rendered 
continuous  service  to  the  departmoit  during  the  bioinium. 

Miss  Gilkison  as  division  stenographer  for  the  biennium  has  rendered 
faithful  service. 

During  the  biennium  the  work  of  the  summer  school  was  reorganized 
and  much  more  extensive  courses  offered,  the  result  being  a  much  larger 
enrollmott.  Besides  the  regular  college  work,  the  division  continues 
to  ofiei'  the  housekeepers'  course,  thus  reaching  a  larger  number  of  young 
women  who  otherwise  would  not  receive  the  benefit  of  this  instruction. 
The  work  is  intoisely  practical,  and  the  hundreds  of  young  women  who 
take  this  course  go  iMdc  to  their  homes  with  a  broader  view  of  life,  and 
a  knowledge  and  training  that  will  enable  them  to  meet  their  reeponsi-  . 
bilitiei;. 

Because  of  the  large  attendance  of  young  women  at  the  Kansas  State 
A^tcultnntl  College  the  problems  of  administration  have  become  difficult 
and  complicated.  An  effort  has  been  made  to  improve  the  home  life  of 
the  young  women  while  in  attendance  at  college  by  certain  regulations 
c(mtr<riling  the  boarding  and  rooming-house  conditions.  The  result  has 
been  a  marked  improvement,  but  in  my  judgment  there  is  still  much 
needed  along  this  line.  I  would,  therefore,  respectfully  request  the  Board 
to  give  careful  consideration  to  the  various  problems  connected  with  the 
home  life  of  the  young  women.  I  believe  there  is  need  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  woman  whose  entire  duty  and  responsibility  shall  be  the  super- 
vision of  the  social  and  home  life  of  the  young  women  of  oor  colle^. 
The  work  can,  in  my  judgment,  no  longer  be  successfully  combined  with 
the  administration  work  of  the  division  of  home  economics. 
Respectfully  submitted, 

Haby  Fierce  Van  Zile, 
Dean  of  Divition  of  Home  Eeonomiea.

REPORT  OF  THE  DIVISION  OP  GENERAL  SCIENCE. 

To  President  H.  J.  Waters ; 

The  Division  of  General  Science  includes  the  following  departments: 
Bacteriology,  botany,  chemistry,  economics,  English  lane^uage,  English 
literature,  entomology  and  zoology,  German,  history  and  civics,  indus- 
trial journalism,  library  economy,  mathematics,  military  training,  music, 
philosophy,  physical  education,  physics,  public  speaking,  and  rural  edu- 
cation and  sociology.  It  is  evident  that  in  the  space  allotted  for  this 
report  only  matters  of  general  importance  can  be  included,  and  that  for 
details,  many  of  which  are  of  great  interest,  the  original  full  reports  of 
,  departments  must  be  consulted. 

Most  of  the  courses  of  study  as  offered  in  the  College  are  characterized 
by  one  or  another  group  of  distinctly  technical  subjects,  which  are  in- 
dicated by  the  names  of  the  courses,  respectively,  and  which  constitute 
the  feature  which  determines  the  student's  choice.  Each  course,  however, 
includes  not  only  its'  distinctive  group  of  studies,  but  others  which  are 
fundamental  to  them  or  which  contribute  essentially  to  Uie  course  in 
other  respects.  These  subjects  are  taught  by  the  departments  of  this 
division,  and  impart  information,  impose  discipline,  confer  culture,  and 
fit  for  citizenship.  Over  one-half  of  the  teaching  in  the  College  is  in 
this  division.  The  technical  departments  add  the  essential  vocational 
features  which  give  completeness  to  the  several  courses. 

In  addition  to  functions  just  indicated,  the  science  departments  of 
this  division  are  important  factors  in  the  work  of  the  experiment  stations, 
and  much  of  their  most  advanced  work  is  in  connection  with  these  in- 
vestigations. 

Possession  of  laboratories  and  valuable  equipment  for  instruction 
and  research  constitutes  a  basis  for  offering  a  course  in  general  science 
which  includes  less  of  definitely  specified  work  than  do  the  technical 
courses,  and  allows  great  freedom  of  choice  in  respect  to  the  remainder 
of  the  work.  This  enables  one  to  give  character  to  his  course  by  the 
election  of  groups  of  subjects  that  will  fit  him  for  research  in  one  of 
the  applied  sciences,  or  for  teaching  these  and  other  subjects,  or  will 
serve  as  a  broad  basis  for  concurrent  or  subsequent  vocational  training. 
The  importance  of  effective  printed  pr«Bentation  of  matters  intends] 
for  the  public  is  such  that  a  course  in  industrial  journalism  has  also 
been  formulated,  the  technical  journalism  subjects  of  which  are  available 
for  election  in  all  other  courses. 

The  personnel  of  this  division  is  so  extensive  that  space  will  not  be 
taken  te  record  all  changes  that  have  taken  place  therein  within  the 
biennial  period  covered  by  this  report.  In  respect  to  heads  of  dq>art- 
mdnts,  we  have  had  the  advantege  of  continuity  of  service  excepting  in 
a  few  cases.  The  College  lost  an  able  man  in  the  resignation  of  Prof. 
W.  E.  King,  professor  of  bacteriology,  who  left  August  31,  1910,  and 
was  succeeded  by  Dr.  F.  H,  Slack.  Doctor  Slack  resigned  before  the 
close  of  the  year  to  accept  a  more  lucrative  position  elsewhere,  and 
Asst.  Prof.  L.  D.  Bushnell  has  been  in  charge  of  the  department  since. 
Capt.  Chae.  H.  Boice  completed  in  1911  his  four-year  detail  as  professor 
of  military  science,  and  was  succeeded  by  First  Lieut.  R.  P.  Harb<dd. 
The  work  in  the  depaitment  of  economics  and  public  speaking  having 
became  too  heavy  for  one  man  to  carry,  in  1910  Mr.  Everett  P.  Johnston 
was  elected  instructor  in  public  speaking,  and  the  next  year  he  was 
given  the  rank  of  assistant  professor  and  placed  in  charge  of  the  depart- 
ment of  public  speaking.  In  1910  Prof.  James  W.  Searaon  was  elected 
associate  professor  of  English,  and  the  next  year,  on  the  recommendation 
of  Doctor  Brink,  head  of  the  department,  tiie  department  of  English

lan^Bge  and  literature  was  divided  and  ProfesBor  Searson  made  pro- 
fessor of  the  English  lan^age,  the  professorship  of  English  literature 
remaining  with  Doctor  Brink.  A  further  feature  in  this  increased  at- 
tention to  English  was  the  creation  of  the  department  of  industrial 
journalism  in  1910,  and  the  election  of  Mr.  Charles  J.  Dillon  to  the  pro- 
fessorship of  industrial  joumaliam.  With  the  larger  opportunity  for 
physical  traininft  for  younK  men  that  the  completion  of  the  Nichols 
Gymnasium  afforded,  Mi.  Guy  S.  Lowman  was,  in  1911,  elected  pro- 
fessor of  physical  education  and  director  of  physical  traininft.  The 
excellent  work  of  Miss  Blanche  Bnyart  was  recognized  by  continuintr 
her  in  charsfe  of  the  phyrical  training  for  young  women.  In  1910  Prof. 
Edwin  L.  Bolton  was  fleeted  to  fill  the  newly  established  professorship 
of  mral  education.  The  need  of  the  library  for  a  man  of  wide  experience 
in  the  purchase  of  books,  and  in  library  administration,  was  met  by  the 
election  of  Mr.  Arthur  B.  Smith  as  librarian.  He  entered  upon  his 
duties  in  1911. 

The  mother  ton  true  is  one's  most  valuable  endowment.  It  is  the 
channel  throunh  which  a  very  large  proportion  of  our  knowledf^  comes; 
it  is  the  chief  means  by  which  we  influence  others;  and  as  literature. 
the  drama  or  oratory  it  affords  much  of  the  purest  pleasure  of  life.  The 
importance  of  the  study  of  English,  in  its  manifold  forma  of  record  and 
of  expression,  has  always  been  recognized  by  the  College,  and  a  generous 
fraction  of  the  college  courses  allowed  for  it  Insistence  upon  clear, 
unequivocal  spoken  or  written  expression  is  the  best  means  of  insuring 
accuracy  of  information,  clarity  of  thought,  and  correctness  of  reasoning. 
Id  the  separation  of  the  old  department  of  English  language  and  litera- 
ture into  two  departments  a  distinct  advance  has  been  made.  In  the 
department  of  English  literature,  the  cultivation  of  taste  and  appreciation 
of  literary  quality  receives  most  attention,  thus  fitting  the  student  for 
enjt^nnent  of  tt'e  literary  treasures  of  all  ages.  In  the  department  of 
the  English  language,  constant  and  vigorous  attention  is  give  to  the 
production  of  correct,  accurate,  forceful  English  composition,  and  great 
gains  in  these  Hirections  are  already  apparent.  The  department  of 
industrial  journalism  was  established  in  order  that  students  with  the 
necessary  preliminary  training  in  Enelish  may  be  taught  to  put  observa- 
tions and  diseuBsions  upon  the  practical  work  of  the  world  into  forms 
that  will  attract  readers,  and  thus  fulfil  a  useful  mission.  An  article 
Oiat  is  not  read  might  as  well  never  have  been  written.  The  importance 
of  the  spoken  expression  of  thought  has  received  further  recognition 
by  the  College  in  the  erection  of  a  separate  department  of  public  speak- 
ing. In  this  it  la  not  the  intention  that  special  attention  should  be  given 
to  the  dramatic  and  ornate,  but  that  instruction  and  drill  he  directed 
chiefly  toward  the  development  of  a  delivery  that  shall  be  convincing;  that 
shall  enable  one  to  present  most  effectively  any  matter  that  may  be 

There  are  thus  four  departments  that  are  especially  charged  with 
developing  the  student's  power  in  control  and  use  of  his  mother  tongue, 
and  the  continued  and  adequate  support  of  their  work  is  confidently  looked 

The  department  of  industrial  iouinalism,  in  addition  to  its  educational 
work,  has  been  the  agency  for  giving  publicity  to  the  College  and  experi- 
ment rtations  through  the  newspapers  and  agricultural  and  trade  journals. 
RemsrVable  succbs  haf  been  attsined  in  this  wnrV.  due  rhiefly  to  the 
fact  that  the  matter  offered  the  papers  is  recogniied  as  of  actual  value 
to  their  readers.  ,  .     , 

The  opportunity  for  better  preparation  for  citizenship  has  been  con- 
siderably extended  within  the  biennial  period.  Additional  courses  in 
American  history,  industrial  history,  economics,  sociology  and  rural 
sociology  have  been  added.  These  have  been  liberally  chosen  by  students 
as  elected  work  and  their  appreciation  thus  demonstrated.

that  bear  directly  on  vocational  preparation.  The  teaching  of  higher 
mathematics  is  of  this  character  for  the  engineering  students.  Much  of 
the  instruction  in  bacteriology,  chemistry,  entomology,  botany  and  other 
sciences  is  essential  in  the  vocational  training  in  home  Bconomics  and 
agriculture,  whether  the  students  apply  their  knowledge  in  their  own 
homes,  on  the  farm,  or  as  teachers  or  investigators.  For  teachers  there 
are  also  offered  special  courses  in  subjects  belonging  especially  to 
pedagogy.  Considerable  attrition  is  given  to  preparing  for  teaching 
in  rural  schools  and  in  schools  of  towns  possessing  a  large  rural  con- 
stituency. The  time  allotted  to  the  several  subjects  of  this  section  is  at 
present  not  sufficient,  and  in  order  that  our  work  in  these  lines  shall 
compare  favorably  with  that  of  other  schools  it  should  be  somewhat 
extended. 

With  the  completion  of  the  Nichols  Gymnasium  we  are  for  the  first 
time  in  position  to  give  systematic  physical  training  to  the  young  men. 
Thus  far  physical  training,  aside  from  that  incident  to  military  drill, 
has  not  been  required;  but  it  is  expected  that  in  the  future  at  least  a 
minimum  of  work  in  the  department  of  physical  education  will  be  re- 
quired of  all  students  in  tfie  institution.  To  carry  out  this  plan,  however, 
will  require  considerable  additions  to  the  instructional  force,  not  only 
to  meet  the  needs  of  the  young  men,  but  for  those  of  the  young  women 
as  well.  The  students  not  in  the  regular  four-year  courses  are  frequently 
more  in  need  of  physical  training  than  are  others.  The  necessary  develop- 
mental exercises  also  require  additional  equipment,  and  the  benefits 
attending  participation  in  outdoor  sports  should  be  extended  to  many 
more  by  an  increase  in  the  fields  and  other  facilities.  The  importance 
of  devolping  a  sound  physique,  or  preserving  that  which  one  has,  while 
one  is  obtaining  intellectual  development  at  college  can  not  be  over- 
estimated. The  military  training  for  young  men  contributes  much 
toward  this  end,  in  addition  to  providing  to  a  certain  ext«nt  for  defense 
in  warfare,  should  this  become  necessary.  A  high  d^ree  of  efficiency 
has  been  attained  in  the  military  department  and  a  greater  interest  in 
this  woric  is  being  manifested  by  the  cadets. 

Among  the  most  indispensable  features  of  provision  for  instruction 
in  the  sciences,  are  laboratories  and  their  equipment.  In  some  of  the 
departments  this  equipment  is  of  a  very  expensive  character,  and  with 
the  great  increase  in  students  has  become  entirely  inadequate  to  supply 
them  properly.  The  departments  of  entomology  and  zo51ogy,  botany,  and 
bacteriology  are  all  much  in  need  of  additional  compound  microscopoa, 
the  cost  of  which  will  run  into  thousands  of  dollars.  These  departments 
also  need  additional  tables  for  laboratory  work,  and  lockers  for  the  use 
of  students  in  caring  for  their  apparatus  and  material  under  investigation. 
Additions  in  respect  to  other  apparatus  are  constantly  required.  There 
is  also  imperative  need  of  additions  to  the  force  of  instruction  of  these 
departments.  , 

When  the  Nichols  Gymnasium  became  available  the  buiidmg  formerly 
used  as  a  woman's  gymnasium  was  assi^ed  to  the  department  of 
chemistry.  The  expansion  thus  made  possible  has  placed  this  depart- 
ment in  comparatively  satisfactory  condition  in  respect  to  floor  space 
for  thp  laboratory  work  of  instruction  and  investigation.  Punds  for 
the  equipping  of  the  laboratory  for  freshman  chemiftry  ha"e,  however, 
teen  very  meager,  and  additional  appropriations  to  provide  for  ventilat- 
ing hoods,  additional  laboratory  tables  and  other  equipmmt  are  an 
imperative  need.  Additional  apparatus  is  also  required  for  the  new 
courses  in  hopsehold  chemistry  and  various  branches  of  chemistry  for 
engineering  students.    Additional  teachers  are  a  pressing  necessity  also. 

The  department  of  physics  is  in  need  of  additional  apparatus,  some 
of  which  is  of  a  very  expensive  character,  but  its  most  pressmg  require- 
ment is  tiiat  of  a  building,  which  might  be  shared  with  the  department 
of  electrical  engineering.  The  need  for  this  building  is  ™P«'«*iY^.  *na 
a  strong  effort  should  be  made  to  secure  an  appropriation  of  JlOO.ttOO

for  a  baildin;  and  its  equipment.  The  space  in  Physical  Science  Hall 
that  would  thus  be  set  free  could  be  occupied  at  once  hy  the  department 
of  chemistry,  which  would  thus  have  ample  room  for  its  student  labora- 
tories, and  for  more  efRcietitly  conducting  and  enlarging  the  chemical 
work  of  the  anicultural  and  engineering  experiment  stations,  and  the 
chemical  control  of  foods,  feeds  and  fertilizers  which  is  in  charge  of  this 
department. 

The  needs  of  the  library  can  hardly  be  overestimated'.  While  changes 
made  within  the  last  year  have  added  greatly  to  the  efficiency  in  use  of 
the  material  which  we  possesB,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  the  library  is 
exceedingly  meager  in  respect  to  the  valuable  sets  and  works  which  are 
really  indispensable  in  research.  Investigators  in  the  sciences  in  their 
relation  to  agricultural  and  other  arts  are  hampered  excessively  by  this 
lack  of  reference  material.  I  can  not  urge  too  strongly  the  need  of 
very  liberal  appropriations  for  books.  Ten  thousand  dollars  per  annum 
for  some  years  could  be  spent  to  very  great  advantage.  Not  only  do 
we  need  large  additions  of  books  purchased  as  such,  but  there  is  exceed- 
ingly  pressing  necessity  for  some  provision  by  which  our  constantly 
accumulating  serials  may  be  bound  promptly  and  placed  upon  the  shelves. 
Hundreds  of  volumes  are  of  but  little  value  because  of  their  comparative 
inaccessibility  in  the  unbound  state.  Additional  assistants  are  needed 
in  the  library  to  give  aid  to  students  and  investigators  in  the  constantly 
increasing  use  of  the  library  in  the  study  of  technical  and  scientific 
subjects.  Adequate  provision  should  be  made  for  the  establishment  of 
divisional  libraries,  in  order  that  technical  works  may  be  near  at  hand 
for  those  in  especial  need  of  them. 

The  instruction  in  languages  other  than  English  is  at  present  limited 
to  German.  The  importance  of  this  language  to  students,  teachers  and 
investigators  was  recognized  some  years  ago  in  the  establishment  of 
the  department  of  German.  There  is  scarcely  less  need  for  French 
to  the  workers  in  sciences,  and  a  knowledge  of  Spanish  has  come  to  be 
of  sperial  value  to  those  whose  duties  take  them  to  the  Spanish-speaking 
peoples  with  whom  the  United  States  is  now  so  intimately  involved. 
The  time  has  come  for  merging  the  department  of  German  into  one  of 
modem  languages,  in  which  provision  would  be  made  for  giving  in- 
struction in  Froich.  Spanish  and  Italian. 

In  addition  to  the  college  work  of  the  Division  of  General  Science 
thus  briefly  outlined,  some  of  the  departments  are  charged  with  other 
iletlnite  duties  to  the  state.  Thus  the  professor  of  entomology  is  state 
«itomologist  and  a  member  of  the  State  Entomological  Commission. 
The  duties  of  this  commission  are  attended  to  by  him  throughout  the 
north  half  o(  the  state,  and  include  inspection  of  growing  nursery  stock 
and  of  that  introduced  into  the  state  from  other  states  or  countries. 
The  professor  of  chemistry  is  a  food  analyist  for  the  State  Board  of 
Health,  and  a  special  assistant  is  employed  to  do  the  analytical  work 
in  Uiis  connection.  Analyses  of  dairy  products  are  also  made  for  the 
dairy  commissioner.  The  chemical  work  required  by  the  fertilizer  law 
and  the  feeding-stuffs  law  is  in  charge  of  the  chemistry  department  of 
the  agricultural  experiment  station.  While  there  is  yet  no  law  providing 
for  seed  testing,  work  of  this  kind  is  regularly  done  in  the  department 
of  botany,  and  state  provision  for  this  might  advantageously  be  made 
by  legal  enactment. 

Miuiy  of  the  departments  of  this  division  have  a  heavy  correspondence 
with  the  citizens  of  this  and  other  states  touching  matters  coming  within 
their  scope,  and  the  influence  and  usefulness  of  the  College  is  thereby 
largely  extended.  ,  . 

bi  conclusion,  I  wish  to  caU  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  teaching 
foree  of  the  departments  of  this  division  has  not  increased  proportion- 
ately to  the  enrollment  in  classea.  This  means  that  classes  are  growing 
constantly  larger  and  larger  and  that  the  quality  of  the  instruction  <a

deterioratiDg  thereby.  While  special  mention  has  been  made  of  the 
need  of  additional  teachers  in  certain  departments,  it  may  be  stated 
in  general  that  there  ia  scarcely  one  of  them  in  which  an  increase  of 
the  force,  with  the  resulting  poaaibility  of  giving  greater  individual 
attention  to  the  students,  ie  not  highly  desirable. 

Respectfully  submitted.  J.  T.  Willaed, 

Dean  of  the  Division  of  General  Science.

REPORT  OF  THE  EXTENSION  DEPARTMENT. 

Preaident  H.  J.  Water»: 

This  department  has  been  able  to  conduct  many  lines  of  public  service 
within  the  past  two  years,  but  these  have  but  served  to  point  cut  many 
new  fields  of  work  yet  untouched.  The  whole  population  of  Kansas  must 
depend  for  its  prosperity  upon  agriculture  and  the  common  industries. 
Desrees  of  prosperity  depend  upsn  efficiency,  and  the  welfare  of  the  peo- 
ple of  this  state  will  be  modified  by  efficiency  in  agriculture,  home  making, 
and  in  the  other  common  vocations  of  rural  people.  This  College  w&e 
established  to  give  instruction  in  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  and 
when  it  offers  such  instruction  to  thnse  who  come  to  it  only  a  small  part  of 
its  duty,  its  privilege,  has  been  met.  The  same  economic  and  social  reason 
for  teaching  those  who  come  to  it  must  stand  as  applied  to  the  million  who 
can  not  be  expected  to  sit  in  the  college  claaaes.  It  may  therefore  be  a 
source  of  gratification  to  you  to  know  that  this  department  has  been  able 
to  present  the  cause  of  improved  agriculture,  improved  rural  life,  a  more 
scientific  home  hfe  and  vocational  education  to  a  .total  of  three  hundred 
and  forty-nine  thousand  nine  hundred  sixty-eight  (349,968)  Kansas  peo- 
ple, practically  one-fifth  the  population  of  the  state;  and  this  is  a  very 
conservative  estimate.  A  dozen  other  avenues  are  waiting  to  be  opened 
and  a  dozen  more  trained  men  and  women  could  be  used  to  the  manifest 
advantage  of  the  rural  life  of  the  state. 

THE  farmers'   INffTITUTE. 

Since  the  first  public  service  of  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College 
was  the  holding  of  a  farmers'  institute,  it  is  but  proper  that  the  farmers' 
institnte  should  be  the  center  and  the  real  basis  of  all  our  extension 
work.  At  this  time  there  are  three  hundred  eighty  organized  institutes 
in  the  state,  with  a  total  membership  of  about  sixteen  Uiousand  heads  of 
families.  There  is  no  coun^  without  at  least  one  institute,  and  many 
counties  have  from  two  to  ei^ht  institute  organizations.  There  are  one 
hundred  county  institutes.  Five  counties— Reno,  Cloud,  Saline,  Shawnee 
and  Wyandotte — do  not  have  county  institute  organizations  affiliated  with 
this  department,  although  each  of  these  counties  has  several  local  insti- 
tutes. 

During  the  year  ending  June  30,  1911,  there  were  held  107  one-day 
institutes,  102  two-day  institutes,  and  one  three-dav  institute,  or  300 
institutes,  with  a  total  attendance  of  58,504,  the  small  attendance  due  to 
unusual  weather  during  one  monUi  when  five  institute  circuits  were  being 
conducted.  During  the  year  ending  June  30,  1912,  233  one-day  institutes 
were  held,  and  109  two-day  meetings — altogether  342  institutes — ^wilh 
a  total  attendance  of  95,789.  Twenty-eight  institute  dates  were  canceled 
in  February  and  March,  1912,  on  account  of  the  snows.  It  has  been 
the  policy  of  this  department  to  arrange  the  programs  for  all  annual 
institute  meetings,  indicating  the  subjects  to  be  discussed  by  the  College 
speakers  and  by  local  speakers,  and  also  requiring  one  or  two  subject, 
such  as  "Roads,"  "Silos"  or  "Alfalfa,"  for  example,  to  be  on  every  pro- 
gram in  the  state.  Two  college  speakers,  as  a  rule,  attend  each  annual 
meeting,  but  never  supplying  quite  half  the  program.  In  addition  to  the 
r^nlar  speakers  from  this  departnrent,  seventeen  persons  of  the  college 
and  experiment  station  EtafTs  rendered  valuable  help,  altogether  168 
days  of  service.  The  state  institute  held  27  sessions,  and  the  attendance 
exceeded  1100  different  persons.  The  total  cost  of  our  institute  service 
for  the  year  ended  June  30,  1911,  was  about  $16,000,  while  for  the  year 
ended  June  80,  1912,  the  total  cost  was  about  {18,000.  It  is  not  possible 
definitely  to  fix  the  amoont  used  for  farmers'  institutes.  ^

Wom^g  Auxiliaries.  A  fine  begiiuiiag  has  been  made  in  the  organiza~ 
tion  of  farmers'  wivee.  Twenty-four  definite  organizations  were  formed 
during  the  year,  with  a  membership  of  674  women.  Monthly  meetings 
are  held  and  a  definite  program  is  sent  out  for  each  meeting  by  Miss 
Frances  L.  Brown  of  this  department.  We  hope  now  to  have  a  women's 
auxiliary  soon  in  connection  with  every  farmers'  institute. 

AGRICULTURAL  TRAINS. 

During  Uie  year  ended  June  80,  1911,  only  two  of  these  "trains"  were 
conducted,  a  Dairy  Train"  over  the  Santa  Fe  (southwestern)  and  a 
"Pork  Production  Train"  over  the  Rock  Island  lines,  with  a  total  attend- 
ance of  8670.  During  the  year  ended  June  30,  1912,  five  such  "trains" 
were  conducted,  "Wheat,"  (E.  1.),  "Diversified  Farming"  (Santa  Fe — 
southwestern),  "Drainage"  (M.  K.  A  T.),  "Good  Roads"  (A.  T.  ft  S.  P.— 
east),  and  "Live  Stock"  (U.  P.),  with  a  total  attendance  of  58,337,  cover- 
ing a  total  of  4558  miles  with  293  stopa 

SPECIAL  HEETINCS. 

Under  this  head  are  included  lectures  before  teachers'  associations, 
granges,  women's  clubs,  commercial  clubs,  farmers'  picnics,  fraternal 
picnics,  fairs,  etc.  During  the  year  ended  June  30, 1911,  the  attendance  at 
these  special  meetings  was  52,000,  and  for  the  year  just  ended  it  was 
51,000. 

LECTURES  TO  TEACHERS  AND   SCHOOLS. 

As  a  part  of  the  work  in  promoting  the  cause  of  vocational  education, 
speakers  from  this  department  attend  many  teachers'  meetings,  and  dur- 
ing the  year  ended  June  30,  1911,  four  of  the  staff  gave  a  total  of  70 
lectures  to  an  attendance  of  6000  teachers,  and  during  the  year  just 
mded  their  lectures  were  given  to  a  total  of  45,000  teachers.  It  is  con- 
sidered of  great  importance  when  on  farmers'  institute  work  to  visit 
the  high  schools  and  grammar  schools.    During  the  year  ended  June  30, 

1911,  our  speakers  spoke  on  some  agricultural  or  home  economics  topic 
to  a  total  of  25,000  children,  in  245  addresses.  During  the  year  just 
ended,  720  such  lectures  were  given  to  a  total  of  144,500  school  children, 
mostly  in  the  high  schools  and  grammar  schools. 

HIGHWAY,  BRIDGE  AND  DRAINAGE  WORK. 

This  work  has  had  a  remarkable  growth.  It  was  begun  in  September, 
1909,  with  one  highway  engineer.  In  June,  1910,  an  assistant  was  em- 
ployed, largely  for  bridge  work ;  in  September  an  expert  in  drainage 
and  irrigation  was  secured;  and  in  June,  1912,  a  fourth  man  was  em- 
ployed to  help  in  both  the  highway  and  drainage  work.  It  will  be  im- 
possible to  meet  all  the  calls  during  the  coming  year  without  doing  an 
injustice  to  other  forms  of  extension  work.  It  should  be  understood 
that  all  money  expended  for  this  work  is  taken  from  the  general  appro- 
priation for  tne  extension  department.     For  the  year  beginning  June  1, 

1912,  the  sum  of  ?7500  has  been  set  aside  for  highway  and  drainage 
work,  out  of  the  total  of  ?40,000. 

For  the  year  ended  June  30,  1911,  Mr.  Gearhart  has  submitted  the 
following  summary  of  public  services :  The  supervision  of  the  con- 
struction of  IM  miles  of  oiled  road;  preparation  plana,  specifications 
and  estimates  for  250  miles  of  earth  roads,  23  miles  of  oiled  roads,  20 
miles  of  sand-clay  roads,  40  miles  of  macadam  roads,  50  reinforced 
concrete  bridges,  10  steel  bridges,  and  also  prepared  20  standard  bridge 
plans.  In  that  year  Mr.  Gearhart  attended  125  public  meetings,  -with 
a  total  attendance  at  said  meetings  of  about  12,000  people.  As  the 
result  of  the  campaign  many  boards  of  coimty  commisgioners  adopted 
during  that  year,  resolutions  to  use  concrete  for  all  bridge  work  and  to 
have  the  plana  and  specifications  prepared  by  Mr.  Gearhart. 

During  the  year-  ended  June  36,  1911,  Mr,  -XjearhATt  prepared  for

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  47 

pabUcation  a  most  valuable  bulletin  on  Highway  Improvement,  which 
was  published  by  the  state  printer  and  copies  were  soit  to  all  members 
of  farmers'  institutes,  to  all  county  commissioners,  county  clerks,  county 
surveyors,  and  to  hundreds  of  others  on  application.  The  bulletin  is 
a  most  valuable  textbook  on  the  subject  of  nuid  improvem^it  and  biidge 
building. 

For  the  year  ended  June  30,  1912,  Hr.  Gmrhart  reports  that  be  and 
his  assistants  have  attended  304  public  meeting  in  the  interest  of  good 
roads,  made  169  bridge  inspections,  and  furnished  plans,  specificationa 
and  estimates  for  226  bridges.  Also  that  plans,  specification  and  esti- 
mates were  prepared  for  the  construction  of  seven  miles  of  macadam 
road,  and  inspections  and  estimates  were  made  for  37  miles  of  macadam 
and  five  miles  of  oiled-earth  roads  and  approximately  160  miles  of  earth 
roads-  Supervision  was  given  in  the  building  of  five  demonstration 
earth  roads  and  one  oiled-«arth  road.  During  this  year  Mr.  Gearhart 
has  made  an  especially  strong  campaign  for  the  building  of  better 
bridges,  and  has  shown  conclusively  that  many  counties  were  being 
impwed  upon  and  that  many  very  inferior  bridges  were  bein^  built  at  an 
onreasonable  expense.  He  has  prepared  an  illustrated  lecture  on  "Good 
and  Bad  Bridges,"  and  has  given  it  in  more  than  40  counties,  causing 
a  great  awakening  in  the  minds  of  the  people  as  to  the  cost  of  bad 
bridges.  In  one  county  where  a  flood  on  August  9,  1911,  took  out  a 
great  many  bridges  this  department  wrote  the  county  cierk  suggesting 
the  building  of  a  few  concrete  bridges  and  offering  the  assistance  of 
the  highway  engineer's  office.  No  reply  was  made  to-  this  letter,  but 
ten  dhys  later  office  contracts  were  made  with  one  bridge  company  for 
the  replacanent  of  all  bridges  taken  out  by  that  stonn,  at  a  cost  of 
ff>6,000-  As  this  was  in  plain  violation  of  the  law,  the  county  attorney 
asked  Mr.  Gearhart's  cooperatitm,  the  matter  was  carried  into  coun, 
and  the  court  appointed  a  committee  of  arbitration,  consisting  of  State 
Engineer  Gearhart,  the  county  engineer  of  that  county,  and  an  engineer 
appointed  by  the  contracting  bridge  company.  Careful  investigation 
was  made  and  a  unanimous  report  filed  giving  the  reasonable  value  of 
all  bridges  as  about  $52,000.  The  bridges  completed  at  the  time  of  the 
injunction  from  the  court  amounted,  according  to  the  original  contract, 
to  something  more  than  ^9,000,  and  the  unanimous  verdict  of  the  com- 
mittee placed  the  value  of  these  bridges  at  a  little  more  than  (28,000. 
Therefore  the  offer  of  assistance  by  this  department  and  the  wise  cO' 
operation  of  Mr.  Gearhart  secured  the  saving  of  more  than  $40,000 
to  that  county.  Similar  investigations  are  being  made  in  other  counties, 
and  ii  is  safe  to  say  that  the  agitation  started  by  this  department 
four  years  ago,  and  carried  on  constantly  by  Mr.  Gearhart,  in  favor  of 
the  right  kind  of  bridges  has  resulted  in  the  saving  to  the  state  of 
Kansas  of  at  least  $260,000  this  year;  and  it  is  safe  to  say  that  the  high- 
way engineer's  office  in  the  three  years  since  it  was  established  has  saved 
to  the  taxpayers  of  Kansas  more  than  a  half  million  dollars,  and  has 
educated  the  people  of  Kansas  on  the  value  of  good  roads  and  good  bridges 
beyond  the  possibility  of  financial  estimate.  The  entire  cost  of  the  hi|^- 
way  department  for  the  three  years  has  not  exceeded  $12,000. 

In  July,  1910,  an  assistant  for  Hr.  Gearhart  was  authorized  by  the 
board  and  Mr.  A".  K.  Losh  was  employed,  and  he  has  rendered  very  con- 
sdentioos  and  valuable  service.  In  June,  1S12J  another  assistant  was 
added,  Mr.  Fred  A.  Besser. 

.  ■■  DRAINAGE 'AND  IRRIGATION. 

In  the  institute  work  in  Boutheast«m  Kansas  the  authorities  of  the 
Coll^Ce  were  constantly  confronted,  in  the  early  years  of  this  service 
with  the  need  for  tile  drainage  of  thousands  of  acres  of  farm  lands.  In 
July,  1910,  authori^  was  granted  for  the  employment  of  a  drainage 
engineer,  and  Mr.  H.  B.  Walker,  of  Iowa,  was  selected,  and  began  his

work  in  Sept«iiiber  of  that  year.  Mr.  Walker  has  rendered  unusually 
faithful  and  conscientious  service,  and  the  reports  of  his  work  for  the 
two  years  are  exceedingly  gratifying.  During  the  year  ended  June  30, 
1911,  Mr.  Walker  attended  45  farmers'  institutes  in  21  different  counties 
in  eastern  Kansas,  gave  59  addresses  to  over  5000  people,  speaking  al- 
ways on  the  improvement  by  farm  drainage  and  the  methods  of  securing 
the  beat  results.  During  that  year  he  made  108  drain  age -inspection  trips 
to  93  different  farms  in  30  different  counties,  and  advised  with  farmers 
relative  to  the  irrigation  of  five  drainage  districts.  Mr.  Walker's  rail- 
road travel  during  that  year  aggregated  over  7S00  miles.  He  was  able 
■  to  report  at  the  end  of  the  year  that  about  40  per  cent  of  the  farmers 
visited  had  by  the  end  of  the  year  undertaken  some  farm  drainage  work, 
according  to  his  plans  and  recommendations,  but  the  best  results  of  the 
year  was  the  creation  of  a  public  sentiment  in  eastern  Kansas  towards 
the  conservation  of  the  lands  thrau(>h  drainage  and  the  preparation  of 
farmers  for  the  organization  of  drainage  districts,  especially  in  the 
direction  of  the  necessity  for  compromise  and  concession  without  law. 
Since  September,  1910,  Mr.  Walker  has  visited  60  different  counties  in 
Kansas,  advising  with  farmers  on  matters  pertaining  to  drainage  and 
irrigation. 

For  the  year  ended  June  30,  1912,  Mr.  Walker  attended  42  farmers' 
institutes,  giving  54  lectures  to  an  ag^gate  attendance  of  8927,  attended 
ten  special  conventions,  delivering  nine  addresses.  He  also  gave  nine 
lectures  to  different  classes  in  the  College.  Besides  delivering  the  127 
lectures  described  above,  he  made  42  visits  to  assist  farmers  with  tile 
drainage,  and  has  organized  a  number  of  "Mutual  Consent"  drainage 
districts,  where  a  number  of  farmers  come  together  and  in  conference 
agree  upon  plans  for  establishing  a  system  of  drainage  without  action 
under  the  law.  He  has  prepared  complete  plans  and  specifications  for 
the  Delaware  river  drainage  district  in  Jefferson  county,  Kansas,  and 
supervised  the  letting  of  the  contract  for  excavations,  straightening, 
cleaning,  etc.,  the  total  expense  for  the  39  miles  being  approximate^ 
$90,000,  and  benefiting  over  10,000  acres  of  very  useful  land.  Mr. 
Walker  has  just  prepared  and  submitted  for  publication  a  very  valuable 
bulletin  on  land  drainage,  and  the  same  has  been  approved  by  the 
president  and  ia  now  in  the  hands  of  the  state  printer. 

During  the  flrst  year  of  Mr.  Walker's  aervice  he  made  a  number  of 
tripe  through  western  Kansas,  urging  the  importance  of  small  farm 
irrigaticm  plants.  In  the  winter  of  1912  he  made  the  institute  circuit 
out  over  the  Union  Pacific  lines,  urging  the  same  matter;  and  later  made 
an  inspection  trip  over  the  Missouri  Pacific  and  the  Santa  Fe  lines  on 
the  same  errand,  and  succeeded  in  interesting  about  30  farmers  to  the 
point  of  installing  small  irrigating  plants.  In  June,  1912,  he  made  a 
final  inspection  trip,  visiting  about  30  farms  where  small  irrigation 
pumping  plants  had  been  installed,  advising  as  to  method  of  handling 
the  machinery,  water,  etc. 

During  the  three  years  in  which  this  public  aervice  has  been  rendered 
there  are  only  fifteen  counties  that  have  not  had  personal  visits  from 
some  one  connected  with  the  department,  on  matters  pertaining  to  roads, 
bridges,  drainage  or  irrigation.  The  counties  not  visited  are  Cheyenne, 
Sherman,  Rawlins,  Greeley,  Morton,  Stanton,  Grant,  Hamilton,  Stevens, 
Seward,  Haskell,  Gray,  Comanche,  Graham  and  Decatur. 

The  experience  of  the  past  three  years  has  shown  the  need  of  more 
trained  supervisory  engineering  work,  and  this  department  shonld  have, 
beginning  September,  1918,  not  less  than  four  district  engineers,  each 
having  supervision  over  work  in  a  distinct  portion  of  the  state,  and  there 
should  be  at  least  two  other  engineers  in  the  <rffice.

CORRESPONDENCE    COURSES. 

Two  jrears  ago  authority  was  granted  for  the  establishment  of  cor- 
respondence courses.  During  the  year  ended  June  30,  1911,  there  were 
enrolled  210  persona  in  this  work,  taking  instruction  altogether  in  15 
subjects.  The  fee  tor  the  work  at  that  time  was  J2,  much  less  than 
one-half  the  actual  cost  to  the  state.  Since  no  appropriation  was  made 
for  thin  work  it  was  necessary  to  raise  the  fee  to  ^6,  and  this  was 
authorized  June,  1911,  as  well  as  the  employment  of  Mr.  E.  L.  Kent, 
whose  duty  for  the  first  year  was  to  develop  a  system  of  instruction, 
and  with  that  thought  in  mind  no  effort  was  made  this  past  year  to 
secure  a  very  large  number  of  students  but  attention  was  given  to  develop- 
ing methods  of  instruction.  During  the  past  year  only  95  different 
persons  were  enrolled  in  the  correspondence  courses,  representing  work 
in  25  subjects.  However,  Mr.  Kent  has  the  work  eo  well  systematized 
now  that  we  will  be  able  to  handle  successfully  and  economically  a 
much  larger  enrollment  of  students.  Acting  on  your  authority  the 
courses  have  been  increased  and  classitied  into  Reading  courses,  I, 
Extension  courses,  $3,  and  College  Credit  courses,  $4, 

OTHER    FORMS    OF    EXTENSION    WORK. 

Honu  Eeonomiet  Club».  This  work  was  begun  in  the  winter  of 
ISlO-ll.  Out  of  many  conferences  a  systematic  course  of  instructioii 
was  developed  by  Miss  Brown,  of  this  department,  and  Mrs.  Van  Zile,  Miss 
Becker,  Miss  Dow,  Miss  Huse,  Miss  Cowles  and  others,  at  the  division  of 
home  economics,  and  three  courses  in  cooking  (20  lessons,  each),  and 
sbnilar  courses  in  sewing,  have  been  offered  for  use.     Since  January, 


1911,  more  than  175  clubs  of  Hrls  have  been  organized,  with  a  total 
of  more  than  5000  members,  each  club  doing  definite  work  and  reporting 
the  work  done.  It  was  necessary  in  September  to  employ  a  teacher, 
a  graduate  of  the  College,  to  devote  her  whole  time  to  handling  the  work 
of  these  clubs.  The  tSree  courses,  sixty  lessons  in  cooking,  are  now 
printied;  two  courses  in  sewing,  forty  lessons,  are  printed,  and  the 
other  sewing  course  will  be  printed  by  November,  1912. 

Bxhibita  at  Fairs.  For  convenience  of  management  the  president 
directed  that  the  public  arrangement  of  fair  exhibits  should  be  handled 
by  this  office.  Each  department  of  the  College  prepared  last  year  one 
or  more  boxes  to  Ulustrate  the  educational  aspects  of  the  work  of  that 
department,  and  two  sets  were  prepared,  making  two  complete  exhibits. 
These  exhibits  were  shown  at  fifteen  county  and  state  fairs.  Two 
speakers  were  sent  to  each  fair  to  explain  the  exhibits  and  to  give  lectures. 

Orchard  Vitita,  Spraying,  etc.  During  thia  bjennium  Mr.  Holsinger 
has  visited  more  than  fifty  orchards,  advising  as  to  treatment  and  assist- 
ing in  the  spraying  of  twelve  orchards.  This  work  is  capable  of  great 
expansion  as  we  have  funds  for  special  mtai  during  the  brief  season 
from  March  to  June. 

Neighborhood  Improvement  Clubs.  During  the  past  year  Mr.  Holton, 
of  this  department,  prepared  a  valuable  pamphlet  outlining  plans  and 
rules  lor  or^nizing  neighborhood  improvement  clubs.  These  are  prin- 
cipally for  rural  teachers,  but  they  may  be  organised  in  villages  and 
towns  or  in  wards  or  districts  of  the  cities.  Next  year  it  is  our  desire 
to  perfect  hundreds  of  these  organizations,  most  of  them  in  school 
districts  or  in  "neighborhoods,"  thus  leading  to  the  discussion  in  many 
conununities  of  many  important  problems  relating  to  rural  betterment. 

Pure-bred  Sire  Clvb.  During  the  past  two  years  Mr.  Wheeler  has 
beoi  pushing  this  work  through  pledge  cards  until  he  has  about  1000 
men  who  have  pledged  themselves  to  use  only  pure-bred  sires  of  their 
live  stock.  This  will  lead  at  once  to  a  league  for  exchanging  aires,  and 
next  to  cooperative  breeding  associations.

60  State  Agricultural  College. 

Silo  Building.  During  the  past  two  summers  Mr.  Hine  and  Mr. 
Wheeler  have  supervised  the  building  of  cement  eiloe  in  seva-al  counties 
of  the  state,  building  both  the  cement-metal-lath  and  the  solid-wall  types, 
and  both  have  proved  entirely  satisfactory. 

Farm  V,igiting.  During  the  past  two. years  Mr.  Crabtree,  of  this 
department,  visited,  on  request  of  the  owners,  more  than  two  hundred 
farms  in  twelve  counties  of  the  state. 

Movoble  Schools.  This  department  has  never  held  a  general  "movable 
echool"  or  "short  course  in  agriculture,"  and  it  will  not  be  able  to  hold 
such  schools  without  neglecting  the  farmers'  institutes  until  we  can 
have  at  least  six  specialists  who  may  devote  their  entire  time  during 
the  winter  to  this  work.  These  schools  must  be  held,  to  be  most  success- 
ful, just  when  the  institutes  must  be  held.  However,  we  have  held 
each  year  one  or  two  "poultry  schools"  and  "stock  judging  schools." 
The  piincipa!  efforts  of  the  department  in  this  direction  have  been  ex- 
pended in  the  holding  of  "movable  schools  in  home  economics,"  as  they 
can  be  held  in  the  fall  and  spring  months,  before  and  after  the  institute 
season.  During  the  year  ended  June  30,  1911,  Miss  Brown,  with  assist- 
ants, held  sixteen  schools  with  an  attendance  of  463  women.  During 
the  past  year  fifteen  of  these  schools  were  held,  with  an  attendance  of 
845. 

Vocational  Education.  For  seven  years  I  have,  "in  season  and  out  of 
season,"  advocated  the  teaching  of  elementary,  agriculture  and  manual 
training  in  all  public  schools,  and  the  teaching  of  elanentary  home  eco- 
nomics in  all  high  schools  and  grammar  schools  at  least.  For  three 
years  of  this  campaign  there  was  very  little  cooperation  from  any  source 
except  from  county  superintendents  of  schools.  Then  the  farmers  began 
to  be  interested,  and  through  the  talks  of  our  institute  speakers  at  the 
schools  the  children  became  interested,  and  gradually  more  teachers  and 
and  school  officers  became  interested,  until  now  we  have  in  Kansas  a 
remarkable  unanimity  of  public  opinion  on  this  subject.  Last  year 
elementary  agriculture  was  taught  in  over  400  of  the  village,  town  and 
high  schools,  and  over  7000  of  the  8000  rural  schools  and  all  the  normal 
schools  of  the  state,  whereas  seven  years  ago  it  was  taught  in  only  one 
school  aside  from  the  Agricultural  College.  Seven  years  ago' home  eco- 
nomics had  a  place  in  only  three  or  four  high  schools  in  Kansas,  and 
last  year  it  was  taught  in  over  250  Kansas  high  schools.  Seven  years 
ago  manual  training  was  taught  in  only  four  high  schools  in  Kansas, 
and  it  was  taught  last  year  in  over  160  high  schools.  In  April,  1910, 
Prof.  E.  L.  Holton  was  added  to  the  staff  of  this  department,  with  the 
special  purpose  of  systematizing  this  campaign  and  presenting  proper 
plans  not  only  for  the  introduction  of  these  subjects  but  the  right  ayatem 
of  instruction.  His  work  has  been  eminently  satisfactory,  and  he  has  not 
only  interested  teachers  and  school  officers,  but  he  has  interested  the 
clergy  of  the  state  in  the  whole  problem  of  rural  life. 

STAFF   FOR   19I0-'ll. 

For  the  year  ended  June  30,  1911,  the  following  people  were  in  this 
department:  J.  H.  Miller,  superintendent  of  institutes;  P.  E.  Crabtree, 
farm  management;  Geo.  C.  Wheeler,  animal  husbandry;  Geo.  S.  Hine, 
farm  dairying;  C.  V.  Holsinger,  horticulture;  Frances  L.  Brown  and

highway  engineering;  H.  B.  Walker,  drainage  and  engineering;  E.  L, 
Holton,  rural  education.    Appropriation,  $27,500. 

STAFF  FOR  1911-12. 

In  June,  1911,  the  employment  of  a  superintendent  of  farmers'  in- 
stitutea  was  authorized,  and  Mr.  G.  W.  Conn  was  employed.  He  served 
from  October  to  March,  when  he  resigned,  and  his  place  was  not  filled. 
Hisa  Edwards  resigned  in  May,  1911,  and  later  Miss  Ella  M.  Nash,  Mrs.

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

As  I  stated  in  the  beginning  of  this  report,  the  work  we  have  done 
has  plainly  pointed  out  to  us  the  necessity  for  more  work,  and  especially 
for  more  personal  work.  The  visits  to  farms  have  but  proved  that  com- 
paratively little  definite  progress  will  be  made  in  farming  methods  until 
the  College  can  have  a  force  of  "county  agents,"  to  be  paid,  of  course, 
by  the  counties.  There  is  urgent  need  for  more  farm  demonstrations,  and 
these  can  best  be  done  by  men  located  in  the  different  counties,  and  the 
best  results  from  the  work  of  these  men  will  only  come  through  close 
supervision  by  the  College. 

The  fact  that  we  can  have  a  thousand  persons  come  each  winter  to 
the  state  institute  proves  to  me  that  the  College  ought  to  cany  the  same 
kind  of  instruction  out  to  not  less  than  twenty  communities  every  year. 
This  can  not  be  done  without  additional  force  of  specialists,  men  whose 
aole  business  it  will  be  during  four  or  five  months  of  the  year  to  con- 
duct these  movable  schools,  and  who  can  be  used  for  the  rest  of  the  year 
in  farm  advisory  and  farm  demonstration  work.  I  would  reccanmend, 
therefore,  such  an  increase  in  our  force,  four  men  and  two  women,  as 
will  permit  us  to  hold  at  least  twenty  of  these  "movable  schools"  each 
winter.  I  would  then  divide  the  state  into  four  districts,  each  of  these 
men  to  have  supervision  over  the  demonstrations  to  be  conducted  in  these 
districts  during  the  remainder  of  the  year. 

Respectfully  submitted.  J.  H.  Miller, 

Director  Extension  Department.

LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL. 

TOPEKA,  September  1,  1912. 
Ho-n,  W.  R.  Stubba,  Governor: 

Dear  Snt — In  compliance  with  section  616  of  the  General 
Statutes  of  Kansas  of  1909,  I  herewith  transmit  this  report, 
which  is  the  elev^ith  biennial  report  of  the  state  banking 
department. 

At  the  date  of  this  letter  of  transmittal  there  are  in  opera- 
tion under  the  supervision  of  this  department  892  state  banks. 
4  private  banks  and  5  trust  companies. 

I  point  with  pride  to  the  fact  that  not  a  single  dollar  has 
been  lost  during  the  past  two  years  by  depositors  in  the  state 
banks  of  Kansas.  Instead  of  the  method  prevailing  in  the  past, 
this  department  has  adopted  the  policy  of  rejuvenation  in  all 
cases.  In  several  instances,  banks,  which  it  would  be  unwise 
to  name,  have  been  found  in  straitened  financial  circumstances, 
but  by  prompt  work  on  the  part  of  this  department  these  banks 
in  every  case  have  been  reestablished  upon  a  firm  and  solvent 
financial  basis.  Numerous  incompetent  and  dishonest  officers 
have  been  summarily  removed  from  effice,  and  the  vacancies 
thus  created  filled  with  practical  and  experienced  bank  man- 
agers, with  the  result,  as  above  stated,  of  absolutely  no  losses 
to  depositors  from  insolvency  of  banks  during  the  past  two 
years. 

The  suits  which  were  brought  against  the  bank  depositors' 
guaranty  law  were  carried  to  the  United  States  supreme 
court,  and  that  court  held  that  the  guaranty  law  was  constitu- 
tional in  every  respect.  This  ended  the  legal  fight  against 
this  law,  and  has  firmly  established  the  principle  of  guarantee- 
ing bank  deposits  in  the  banking  and  business  world  to  stay. 

At  the  present  time  there  are  456  banl(s  operating  under 
the  guaranty  law.  We  have  in  that  fund  in  bonds  and  cash' 
in  lieu  thereof,  to  guarantee  the.  paiymenil  of  assessments- 
$341,349.10,  and  in  the  assessment  account  $83,231.03.  To< 
date  not  a  single  cent  has  been  withdrawn  from  this  fund',, 
although  in  the  case  of  the  Abilene  State  Bank  guaranty  certi- 
ficatea  to  the  amount  of  $46,809.75  have  been  issued  against 
it,  this  being  the  amount  that  that  bank  owed  its  depositors 
at  the  time  its  doors  were  closed.  It  is  confidently  believed, 
however,  that  this  bank  when  finally  closed  out  will  pay  its 
depositors  in  full  out  of  its  own  assets,  so  that  these  certificate^ 
can  be  surrendered  and  canceled. 

The  gimranty  Law  in  Kansas  has  done  more  to  put  the

proper  amount  of  confidence  in  the  state  banks,  than  any  other 
one  thine:  since  its  enactment.  It  has  also  done  much  toward 
assisting  us  to  regulate  and  supervise  the  banks  in  the  manner 
that  they  should  be  and  raising  them  to  their  present  high 
standard.  I  am  pleased  to  inform  you  that  the  guaranty 
law  has  been  a  success  in  every  sense  of  the  word. 

Two  of  the  worst  gangs  of  bank  robbers  which  haVe  ever 
infested  the  Middle  West  were  operating  in  the  state  of  Kansas 
at  the  time  I  took  active  charge  of  the  banking  department,  one 
on  the  north  line  of  the  state,  with  headquarters  at  Wyraore. 
Neb.,  and  one  on  the  south  line  with  headquarters  in  Oklahoina. 
In  the  years  of  1908,  1909,  1910  and  the  first  three  months  of 
1911,  there  were  one  hundred  twenty-five  banks  robbed  in 
the  states  of  Oklahoma,  Nebraska,  Arkansas,  Missouri, 
Texas  and  Kansas,  thirty-eight  of  which  were  in  this  state. 
Kansas  was  apparently  helpless  to  prevent  these  outrages 
against  its  citizens  and  their  properties.  In  March,  1911,  Uiis 
department  secured  a  special  appropriation  from  the  legisla- 
ture and  employed  one  of  the  best  detectives  in  the  United 
States,  Mr.  J.  S.  Searls.  {We  secured  the  active  support  and 
cooperation  of  the  National  Surety  Company  of  New  York, 
through  their  state  agent,  Mr.  R.  A.  Algire,  of  Kansas  City, 
Kan.,  and  a  great  deal  of  the  credit  for  the  results  accomplished 
is  due  to  the  efforts  of  Mr.  Algire.)  We  began  to  make  a  cam- 
paign against  the  bank  robber  in  Kansas.  We  worked  in  con- 
junction with  the  Anti-Horse  Thief  Association,  the  United 
States  government,  and  various  other  officers  and  organiza- 
tions. No  less  than  fifty-five  of  the  most  desperate  bank 
burglars  in  America,  who  were  all  more  or  less  connected  with 
the  organizations  of  robbers  operating  in  Kansas,  have  been 
captured  and  placed  in  the  penitentiary  for  terms  ranging 
from  ten  to  fifty  years.  Both  of  the  gangs  mentioned  above 
have  been  completely  wiped  out.  As  a  result  of  this  work, 
not  a  single  bank  has  been  robbed  in  Kansas  since  that  time, 
and  only  one  attempt,  while  the  other  states  mentioned  have 
had  as  many  or  more  than  ever  before. 

Mr.  Searls  has  also  been  of  inestimable  value  to  this  depart- 
ment in  running  down  embezzling  bank  officers.  A  notable 
example  of  our  work  along  this  line  is  the  capture  of  John  A. 
Flack,  the  embezzling  bank  cashier  who  caused  the  failure  of 
the  Abilene  State  Bank.  Mr.  Flack  escaped  at  the  time  of 
his  embezzlement  and  the  officers  were  unable  to  locate  him. 
However,  Mr.  Searls,  finally  tracked  him  to  New  Yorit  city 
and  eflfected  his  capture  after  he  had  been  at  large  about  two 
years,  and  he  is  now  under  arrest  andawaiting  trial  at  Abilene 
with  eleven  charges  filed  against  him.   ■■ 

This  detective  has  not  only  been  of  inestimable  value  to  us 
in  capturing  bank  robbers  and  embezzling  cashiers,  but  he  has 
also  secured  convicting  information  and  evidence  for  us  in  a

Eleventh  Biennial  Report.  6 

very  large  number  of  cases  when  we  otherwise  would  have  been 
helpless. 

The  banking  department  has  been  put  on  as  nearly  a  civil 
service  basis  as  it  is  possible  to  put  it  under  the  present  law. 
Not  a  single  employee  now  holds  a  position  under  this  depart- 
ment for  political  reasons.  Each  man  is  required  to  take  an 
examination  and  show  himself  competent  to  hold  the  position 
sought  before  he  is  appointed.  Each  employee  is  very  closely 
checked  up,  and  if  at  any  time  he  shows  a  weakness  or  does  not 
do  his  duty  his  place  is  immediately  filled  by  a  more  competent 
person.  I  strongly  recommend  that  the  banking  department, 
both  as  to  Bank  Commissioner  and  all  his  employees,  be  entirely 
removed  from  politics. 

The  system  of  bank  examination  has  been  steadily  improved 
until  it  has  reached  a  very  high  state  of  efficiency,  and  I  believe 
compares  favorably  with  that  of  any  other  state  in  the  Union 
or  with  that  of  the  government. 

This  department  has  just  recently  issued  an  order  providing 
that  any  person  desiring  to  become  a  cashier  or  managing 
ofRcer  of  a  Kansas  state  bank  must  have  had  at  least  two  years' 
actual,  continuous  experience  in  banking,  and  the  record  of 
this  two  years*  experience  must  show  that  they  were  persist- 
ently faithful  to  their  work ;  and  further  than  this,  unless  they 
have  had  at  least  five  years'  actual  experience  and  their  record 
first-class  for  that  period,  they  must  report  to  the  banking  de- 
partment and  take  a  written  examination  on  the  Kansas  bank- 
ing laws  in  general,  the  corporation  law  as  it  applies  to  banks, 
the  negotiable  instruments  law,  and  the  practical  and  technical 
points  of  everyday  business  and  banking.  If  they  pass  this 
examination  with  a  grade  of  at  least  seventy  per  cent  they  are 
issued  a  certificate  entitling  them  to  become  the  cashier  or 
managing  officer  of  a  Kansas  state  bank. 

This  department  has  found,  upon  investigation  and  research, 
that  much  of  the  trouble  in  Kansas  banks  is  caused  by  in- 
competency and  lack  of  education  in  banking,  without  any 
preparation  by  the  would-be-banker  to  fill  the  responsible 
position  of  managing  officer  of  a  bank.  Many  men  are  allowed 
to  go  into  the  banking  business  who  have  no  talents,  experience 
or  ^ucation  for  this  great,  important  work,  and  diaaatrous 
results  too  often  follow.  The  department  is  very  anxious  to 
elevate  Kansas  banking  to  the  highest  state  of  perfection  and 
efliciency,  and  has  decided  that  no  steps  can  be  taken  to  accom- 
plish these  ends  with  more  certainty  than  our  present  position 
as  to  the  preparation  and  education  of  men  for  the  Kansas 
banking  service. 

The  department  succeeded  in  getting  the  last  legislature 
to  pass  House  bill  906,  commonly  known  aa  the  Kansas  "Blue 
Sky"  law,  providing  for  the  regulation  and  supervision  of  the 
sale  of  stocks,  bonds  and  other  securities.    This  law,  as  you 


ly  Google 


6  Ka?isas  Bank  Commissione.r. 

know,  was  something  entirely  new  in  the  business  world,  bi 
I  am  pleased  to  inform  you  that  we  have  worked  the  same  oi 
in  very  nice  shape  and  accomplished  some  wonderful  result 
I  estimate  that  it  has  saved  liie  people  of  this  state  at  lea 
six  million  dollars  since  its  enactment.  Between  fourteen  ar 
fifteen  hundred  companies  have  been  investigated  by  this  d 
partment  since  the  enactment  of  this  law,  and  of  this  numb* 
less  than  one  hundred  have  been  granted  permits  to  sell  the 
securities  in  Kansas.  The  law  is  rapidly  gaining  fame  all  ovi 
the  civilized  world,  and  I  believe  that  a  large  number  of  tl 
states  will  adopt  a  similar  law  at  the  coming  sessions  of  the 
legislatures.  I  believe  that  a  movement  has  been  started  th; 
will  eventually  result  in  the  regulation  and  supervision  of  £ 
kinds  of  companies  in  the  same  manner  as  banks  are  no 
regulated  and  supervised.  There  are  a  few  minor  amendmen 
that  should  be  made  to  this  law,  which  I  will  be  pleased 
recommend  to  the  legislature  at  the  proper  time. 

Through  the  enactment  of  the  charter  limitation  law,  beii 
section  2,  chapter  125,  of  the  Laws  of  1911,  there  has  bet 
granted  to  the  Charter  Board  the  absolute  right  to  prohib 
the  organization  of  banks  in  any  territory  except  where 
strict  investigation'  shows  the  need  of  a  new  bank  to  be 
matter  of  public  necessity. 

Prior  to  the  enactment  of  this  law  a  number  of  charters  wei 
refused,  which  convinced  me  of  the  necessity  of  the  enactmei 
of  this  feature  of  limitation,  and  since  the  enactment  of  th 
law  charters  have  been  refused  in  a  great  nunjber  of  case 
Kansas,  in  my  opinion,  is  now  recovering  from  the  effects  i 
a  wave  of  bank  organization  for  speculative  purposes,  ar 
later  developments  have  proven  that  in  a  majority  of  tl 
smaller  towns  of  the  state  having  two  banks,  the  second  ban 
instead  of  being  a  credit  and  help  to  the  community,  has  r 
suited  in  the  weaking  of  the  older  institution,  and  has  demoi 
strated  conclusively  that  a  new  bank  is,  in  most  cases,  tl 
result  of  inability  to  properly  judge  the  need  of  banking  facil 
ties.  This  law  has  done  and  is  doing  a  great  deal  toward  hel] 
ing  to  properly  regulate  and  supervise  the  banks  in  the  bei 
intereate  of  the  people. 

LEGISLATION. 

The  banking  law  at  the  time  of  its  first  enactment,  in  189 
has  proven  itself  to  be  in  need  of  substantial  amendmen 
and  practically  every  legislature  since  that  time  has  adde 
to  or  taken  from  this  law  some  important  feature.  The  la; 
session  of  the  legislature  was  very  liberal  in  the  enactment  t 
legislation  recommended  by  myself,  as  bank  commissione 
and  at  this  time,  aside  from  a  few  minor  and  unimportar 
changes,  I  consider  the  Kansas  banking  laws  to  be  in  ver 
good  shape.

Eteventh  BiennUU  Report. 


BONDS  OP  OFFICESS. 

All  investigation  conducted  by  this  department  during  th« 
past  two  years  has  shown  that  in  at  least  70  per  cent  of  the 
banks  the  bonds  of  the  ofUcera  are  Insufficient  in  amount,  and 
in  numerous  instances  these  bonds  are  merely  personal  bonds, 
si^ed  by  sureties  who  are  unable  flnancially  to  meet  the  obli- 
gBtion  created  by  the  sismingr  of  the  bond,  should  they  be  called 
upon  to  do  so.  The  experience  of  this  department  has  beea 
that  personal  bonds  are  not  satisfactory  in  a  majority  of  cases 
when  we  are  forced  to  realize  upon  them  if  possible. 

A  ruling  was  prcHnulgated  by  this  department  in  January, 
1912,  requiring  a  minimum  bond  of  f  10,000,  which  has  been 
rigidly  enforced.  In  this  connectioji  I  would  recommend  that 
section  9  of  the  banking  law  be  so  amended  as  to  require  a 
graduated  bond  according  to  the  total  assets  of  the  bank,  with 
a  minimum  of  $10,000,  and  further  require  surety  bonds  in  all 
cases.  I  would  further  recommend  that  the  law  provide  that 
all  bonds  shall  be  deposited  with  the  bank  commissioner  as 
custodian,  and  thus  permit  better  supervision  and  scrutii:y  of 
same. 

CLOSfD  BANKS. 

The  Citizens  and  Farmers  State  Bank,  Arkansas  City, 
Kansas. 

As  stated  in  the  report  of  this  department,  under  date  of 
September  1,  1910,  the  winding  up  of  the  affairs  of  this  bank 
has  extended  into  the  period  covered  by  this  report.  The  same 
receiver,  Merritt  Jeffries,  is  still  in  charge  of  the  affairs  of 
this  bank.  Although  its  assets,  with  the  exception  of  180 
shares  of  the  capital  stock  of  the  Arkansas  City  Ice  and  Cold 
Storage  Company,  have  been  disposed  of,  there  yet  remains  at 
this  time  a  liability  to  the  depositors  of  approximately  $18,300, 
being  equal  to  an  eight  per  cent  dividend  on  the  receiver's 
certificates.  The  receiver  has  at  this  time  a  bid  of  $80  per 
share  on  this  stock,  which  on  account  of  its  being  insuMcient 
to  pay  the  depositors  in  full  and  settle  the  attorneys'  fees  and 
court  costs,  has  been  refused. 

There  is  pending  in  the  United  States  circuit  court  at  Kansas 
City,  Mo,,  an  action  on  the  directors'  liability  of  Wm.  A.  Wilson, 
former  president  and  controlling  officer  of  this  bank,  and  I 
am  informed  by  the  receiver  and  his  attorneys  that  this  suit 
promises  success. 

Considerable  agitation  has  developed  owing  to  the  dilatory 
court  proceedings,  and  in  August  of  the  present  year  Attomey- 
generid  Dawson  was  requested  to  make  si)ecial  investigation 
of  the  management  of  the  affairs  of  this  bank.  To  date  the 
report  of  his  investigation  has  not  reached  this  department.  It 
is  confidently  believed  that  in  the  near  future  the  final  settle- 
ment with  the  depositors  of  this  bank  will  be  made,  paying 
them  in  full.

9  KaiwoB  Bank  CommUsioner. 

The  affairs  of  the  Bank  of  Arcadia,  Arcadia,  Kan.,  the  Ga 
land  State  Bank,  Garland,  Kan.,  and  the  Bank  of  Ellinwoo 
Bllinwood,  Kan.,  have  all  been  finally  wound  up  and  clow 
out.  These  banks  were  closed  previous  to  my  term  as  bai 
commissioner. 

THE  ABILENE  STATE  BANK,  ABILENE,  KAN. 

This  bank  was  forced,  through  the  defalcations  of  John  j 
Flack,  its  cashier,  to  suspend  business  in  September,  1910,  ai 
Ed  Makins,  of  Abilene,  Kan.,  was  appointed  its  receiver. 

According  to  the  report  rendered  by  the  receiver  on  July  2 
1912,  there  was  due  and  unpaid  to  depositors  a  balance  i 
(40,408.48,  with  total  assets  in  the  possession  of  Receivi 
Makins  amounting  to  $97^26.96,  which  with  the  liability  < 
certain  of  the  directors  of  that  bank,  if  judiciously  handle 
should  pay  all  claims  in  full  and  dispense  with  the  necessi' 
of  making  payment  through  the  guaranty  fund.  Paymei 
from  the  guaranty  fund  can  be  made  only  at  the  exhaustit 
of  all  other  resources;  hence,  these  certificates  are  at  th 
time  remaining  in  the  hands  of  the  depositors  of  that  bank. 

IN  CONCLUSION. 

I  take  pleasure  in  saying  to  you  that,  as  a  whole,  the  ban) 
of  this  state  are  in  a  sound  and  solvent  condition,  and  ai 
moreover,  prosperous  and  flourishing.  From  the  fact  th 
crop  conditions  have  been  eminently  satisfactory,  I  feel  th 
at  this  time  Kansas  state  banks  are  enjoying  the  most  soui 
and  prosperous  years  of  their  existence.  I  know  of  no  sta 
banks  in  operation  in  this  state  in  which  I  would  hesitate ' 
deposit  personal  funds. 

In  my  former  report  I  assured  you  that  as  bank  commi 
sioner  I  would  put  forth  every  possible  effort  toward  tl 
maintenance  of  a  higher  standard  and  the  improvement  i 
banking  conditions  in  every  material  way.  I  am  indeed  proi 
to  submit  the  work  of  this  department  to  you  and  to  tl 
people  of  this  state,  and  allow  you  and  them. to  judge  as 
what  results  we  have  accomplished. 

Respectfully  submitted.

Letter  of  Transmittal 


ToPEKA,  Kan..  September  1,  1912. 
Hon.  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor: 

Deab  Sir — In  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  the  build- 
ing and  loan  law  I  have  the  honor  to  present  to  you  the  Thir- 
teenth Annual  Report  of  this  department  relating  to  the  build- 
ing and  loan  associations  in  the  state  of  Kani^as. 

There  are  fifty-three  local  and.  three  general  associations 
doing  business  in  Kansas  on  this  date. 

This  report  gives  the  principal  items  contained  in  the  semi- 
annual statements  for  the  year  1911  of  all  associations  report- 
ing to  this  department. 

There  has  been  a  steady  increase  in  assets  and  in  member- 
ship of  the  various  associations,  demonstrating  the  fact  that 
the  people  of  the  state  have  confidence  in  them  and  realize 
that  there  is  no  better  investment  for  the  small  savings  of  the 
wage  earner. 

Thousands  of  our  people  are  owners  of  homes  acquired 
through  the  building  and  loan  associations  of  the  state  and  the 
associations  themselves  have  been  of  untold  benefit  to  an  army 
of  small  savers  besides  aiding  materially  in  the  growth  and 
development  of  the  communities  in  which  the  associations  are 
located. 

I  found  on  taking  charge  of  the  banking  department  that, 
for  some  reason  or  other,  the  building  and  loan  associations 
of  this  state  had  never  been  thoroughly  examined,  although 
the  law  provided  for  it.  A  special  appropriation  was  secured 
from  the  legislature  of  1911,  and  .each  and  every  association 
doing  business  in  the  state  has  now  been  thoroughly  audited 
and  examined,  and  a  large  number  of  them  examined  the 
.second  time.  The  examinations  made  have  been  the  means 
of  correcting  many  errors  of  commission  and  omission,  of 
bringing  the  plans  and  operations  of  the  associations  into  con- 
formity with  the  law,  and  establishing  uniform  methods  of 
.iccounting  in  so  far  as  circumstances  would  permit.    I  am 

(47) 


lyCoogJe 


48  Kansas  Bank  Commissioner. 

pleased  to  state  that  the  examinations  were  welcomed  by  the 
associations  aa  a  whole  and  a  general  desire  manifested  to 
operate  in  accordance  with  the  law  and  the  wishes  of  this 
department.  The  examinations  were  of  great  assistance  to 
the  associations ;  in  some  few  cases  we  were  able  to  materially 
strengthen  an  association  by  removing  certain  incompetent 
officers  and  installing  new  and  more  efficient  men  in  their 
stead. 

I  am  pleased  to  state  to  you  that  at  this  writing  I  consider 
each  and  every  building  and  loan  association  in  the  state  of 
Kansas  sound  and  solvent.    Respectfully  submitted. 

J.  N.  DoLLEY,  Bank  Commissioner.

oonciae  and  oonvenient  form  as  poasible,  the  actual  transactions  of 
the  Board  for  the  yeara  covered.  The  State  Printing  Commission 
notified  uB  that  our  space  was  limited,  and  that  the  reports  of  this

GENEI^AL  OBSERVATIONS,  SUGGESTIONS,  AND 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 


WORK  OP  THE  BOARD. 
Charitable  inatjtatioiu  and  asyluniB  are  not  objects  of  interwt  to  the 
majority  of  people.  We  do  not  like  Bafferin^  and  misfortune.  It  wonM 
be  veil  if  we  eoald  realise  that  we  are  all  poeaible  patrons  of  such  places, 
"me  inmates  come  from  every  grade  of  society.  It  is  only  within  ttie  last 
emtary  that  sach  institntlons,  generally,  have  been  established  by  the 
pnUie  and  msintaincd  for  the  pnbtic  benefit. 

Little  does  the  world  know  of  the  grief  and  sorrow  in  the  thovwands  of 
bomea  scattered  over  the  state.  It  is  not  talked  about  at  home;  it  is  twt 
discussed  with  the  neiEhbors;  it  is  the  skeleton  in  the  closet.  All  the  more 
deep  is  tbeir  anpdsh  and  sorrow  because  It  is  silenL  Mother  feels  proud  of 
her  children  as  they  grow  np  aboat  her  and  win  soceese  in  the  world,  bat 
her  heart,  her  bnming  tears  and  silent  prayers  go  up  in  sapplication  for  ber 
most  imfortanate  child  in  snch  inatitntiMis,  For  her  to  know  that  her  child 
is  being  tenderly  and  kindly  cared  for  is  s  great  sonrce  of  solace  to  her  snd 
saves  many  an  anxious  hour  and  many  a  tear. 

The  woric  of  the  State  Board  of  Control  covers  a  brosd  snd  rapidly  grow- 
ing field.  Under  ths  law  of  the  state  the  work  is  divided  into  two  classes— 
the  snpervisitxi  of  certain  private  agencies  and  the  management  and  control 
of  nine  state  charitable  institntions,  which  will  soon  be  increased  to  eleven. 
But  in  carrying  on  this  worii  the  Board  becomes  the  center  of  the  charita- 
ble activities  of  the  entire  state,  and  keeps  in  touch,  to  a  eerialn  extent, 
with  the  charity  work  carried  on  by  religious  and  frstemsl  organisations, 
associated  charities,  provident  associations,  settlement  work  snd  the  char- 
itable work  of  the  coonties.  The  slmehoose  is  the  fundamental  institntion 
in  American  poor  relief.  The  benevolent  or  charitable  work  of  the  state  is 
done  first  by  the  coanties,  either  in  outdoor  relief  or  providing  for  indigent 
persons  at  the  coonty  asylums;  and  second,  by  private  agencies  and  by  the 
state  at  large. 

PRIVATE  AGENCIES  UNDER  SUPERVISION  OF  THE  BOARD. 

1.  Foreign  ehikiren's  corporations  sre  required  to  furnish  the  State 
Board  with  such  guaranty  as  msy  be  required  that  no  child  will  be  brought 
into  the  stste  having  any  eontsgions  or  infectious  disease,  or  having  sny 
deformity,  or  being  of  feeble-minded  or  vicious  character,  and  agrees  to 
remove  from  the  state  any  child  which  shall  become  a  public  charge  within 
a  period  of  five  years.  The  Stste  Board  requires  foreign  children's  assocfa- 
tions  to  execate  a  bond  to  the  state  of  Kansas  in  the  sum  of  $10,000.  A 
proper  supervision  of  this  line  of  work  would  reqairea  statement  from  each 
such  foreign  corporation  when  a  child  is  placed  in  Kansas,  and  an  annual 
statement  listing  all  of  the  children  placed  and  when  and  where,  and  what

hu  become  of  tfaem,  and  the  checking  of  this  by  the  State  Board  and  tl 
keeping  track  of  all  such  children. 

2.  Domestic  children's  associations  and  institutionB  are  subject  to  tl 
visitation,  inspection  and  supervision  of  the  State  Board.  Every  sucb  ass 
ciation  or  institution  is  required  to  file  an  annual  written  report  with  II 
Stftte  Board,  and  the  secretary  of  the  Board  is  required  to  fumisb  the  pr 
bate  judge  of  each  county  a  list  of  the  same,  and  no  child  can  be  eommittt 
to  the  care  of  any  institution  which  shall  not  have  filed  a  report  for  tl 
fiscal  year  last  preceding. 

S.  Private  insane  hospitals  and  asylnma  are  required  to  obtain  a  liceni 
from  Uie  State  Board  and  are  under  the  supervision  of  said  Board.  The: 
are  five  private  insane  institutions. 

4.  Private  orpbanagM,  rescue  homes,  homes  for  adults  and  boopitalsr 
ceiviDg  state  sid  are  subject  to  the  same  visitatim,  inspection  and  supe 
vision  by  the  State  Board  as  are  the  public  institutions,  and  the  Board 
required  to  pass  upon  the  condition,  management  and  eompeteaey  of  tl 
same;  but  this  is  simply  a  work  of  supervision,  and  does  not  go  to  the  torn 
agement  and  control  of  these  private  institutions.  There  are  sixty-tv 
private  institutions  receiving  state  aid  from  1100  to  $600  a  year. 

E.  All  charitable  or  benevolent  institutions  propoaing  to  solicit  in  moi 
than  one  county  within  the  state  funds  for  the  maintenance  thereof  must  I 
incorporated,  and  its  charter  and  general  standing  and  purpoeea  have  to  I 
carefully  examined  and  certified  to  by  the  State  Board  of  Control  befo) 
the  officers  or  agents  of  such  institutions  eon  solicit.  The  Board  may  r 
fuse,  in  its  discretimi,  to  grant  sucb  certificate, 

THE  NINE  STATE  INSTITUTIONS. 

The  main  work  of  the  Board,  however,  is  the  management  and  ccxitr 
of  nine  sUte  institutions.  The  School  for  the  Blind,  at  Kansas  City,  Kan 
and  the  School  for  the  "Deaf,  at  Olathe,  are  educational  institutions,  si 
are  not  in  session  during  the  summer  months.  These  schools  are  » 
asylums  or  homes  for  the  unfortunate  or  hospitals  for  the  treatment  of  di 
ease.  They  furnish  free  care  and  maintenance  to  all  the  blind  and  del 
children  of  Kansas  between  the  ages  of  seven  and.  twenty-one  years,  hi 
any  parent  who  so  desires  can  pay  for  the  care  and  maintenance  of  his  chi 
or  children. 

The  Boys'  Industrial  School,  at  Topeka,  and  the  Girts'  Industrial  Sehoc 
at  Beloit,  are  for  delinquent  children.  Admissions  are  made  up  to  the  sg 
of  sixteen  years,  as  a  general  rule,  and  the  schools  have  jurisdiction  ovi 
all  children  admitted  until  the  age  of  twenty-one  years.  By  the  word  "d< 
linquent"  is  meant  a  child  who  has  violated  the  laws  of  the  city  or  state,  < 
who  is  incorrigible.  The  industrial  schools  are  educational  and  correction 
in  their  nature,  but  the  state  furnishes  care  and  maintenance  and  ctothin 
to  all  the  inmates. 

The  State  Orphans'  Home,  at  Atchison,  is  for  all  dependent,  neglecte 
or  ill-treated  children  of  the  state  over  the  age  of  two  and  under  the  age  c 
fourteen  years.  The  object  of  the  home  is  to  teniporsrily  take  care  t 
children  qntil  good  family  homes  can  be  found.  The  state  has  a  state  agei 
who  looks  after  the  placing  of  children.  The  state  furnishes  free  care  ar 
maintenance  to  all  of  the  children,  except  that  the  state  can  recover  froi 
the  parent  or  parents,  or  other  persons  responsible  for  the  child's  depen<

ney,  the  expenae  of  the  csre  and  maintenance  of  the  child.  1%e  State 
Orphans'  Home  is  a  combinBtion  of  a  school  and  a  home. 

The  State  Home  for  Feeble-minded,  at  Winfield,  is  a  school  and  home 
for  feeble-minded  children,  not  over  fifteen  years  of  age,  who  are  incapable 
of  ioBtruetioD  in  the  common  schools.  Parents  and  the  estates  of  the  in- 
mates are  liable  for  their  care  and  maintenance,  but  the  school  furaishes 
free  care  and  maintenance  to  all  who  can  not  pay. 

The  Topeka  State  Hospital  and  the  Osawatomia  State  Hospital  are  for 
persons  whose  minds,  by  reason  of  brain  sickness,  have  become  unsouDd. 
These  two  institutions  are  hospitals,  and  not  anylums. 

The  Parsons  State  Hospital  is  for  epileptic*,  both  sane  and  insane.  The 
estates  uid  parents  of  all  patients  are  liable  for  their  care  and  mainte- 
nance, hut  the  stats  furnishes  everything  free  to  patients  who  are  unable 
to  be  maintained  by  others  or  out  of  their  own  estates. 

These  nine  institutions  are  under  the  full  management  and  control  of  the 
State  Board  of  Control,  the  Board  having  full  executive  and  administrative 
functions. 

Each  institution  has  a  professional  side  and  a  business  side.  The  buai- 
Desa  side  is  divided  into  the  inventorying  of  all  property  and  jcharging  it 
against  the  head  of  the  institution,  and  the  keeping  track  of  this  property 
and  the  purchasing  of  provisions;  fixing  the  number  of  employees  and  ssl- 
aries  and  the  paying  of  the  same;  fixing  of  thecommissary  and  dietary;  the 
checking  up  of  the  farm  and  stock  accounts  and  seeing  whether  these  lines 
are  paying;  monthly  reports  of  all  financial  matters;  and  second,  the  let- 
ting of  contracts  for  buildings  and  improvements  and  the  taking  care  of 
the  physical  condition  of  the  institution  and  the  supervision  of  the  new 
buildiags.  The  institutions  are  towns  in  themselves,  and  some  are  larger 
than  many  of  the  cities  of  the  third  class,  and  have  water  plants,  electric- 
light  plants,  power  plants,  laundries,  greenhouses,  large  grounds  with 
fonatains,  roads  and  walks.  Farming  and  other  lines  are  carried  on  in 
connection  with  the  institutions,  the  larger  institutions  having  stock,  con- 
sisting of  a  herd  of  seventy-five  cows,  heifers  and  calves,  and  horses, 
males,  hoga  and  chickens  of  an  equally  extensive  number.  The  institutions 
have  libraries,  chapel  services,  amusements  and  recreations.  Two  of  th^ 
inititutions  have  complete  printing  outfits  and  print  periodicals.  Some  of 
the  institutions  have  gymnasiums,  physical  and  moral  training,  shoe  shops, 
harness  shops,  tailor  shops,  domestic  economy,  music,  stenography,  deco- 
rative art  and  sewing. 

The  professional  side  covers  the  care  and  treatment  of  the  insane,  and 
the  education  of  the  blind  and  deaf,  the  incorrigible  and  dependent  and 
feeble-minded.  The  Board  fixes  the  course  of  study  and  investigates  the 
causes  of  delinquency,  dependency  and  insanity,  and  holds  conferences  with 
the  superintendents  and  others  at  the  Board's  office.  The  proceedings  of 
these  conferences  are  issued  in  bulletin  form.  The  average  population  of 
the  institutions  is  now  4600,  and  is  constantly  increasing.  The  Board  is  re- 
quired to  visit  each  institution  at  least  once  a  month  and  investigate  every- 
thing and  see  each  inmate.  Every  application  for  admission  is  made  direct 
to  the  Board,  and  the  Board  either  accepts  the  application  or  refuses  it  for 
want  of  room  or  eligibility.  A  daily  report  of  population  is  made  by  each 
inatitution  to  the  Board,  and  everything  pertaining  to  the  records  of  in- 
mates ts  kept  at  the  institution  and  also  at  the  omce  Of  the  Board.    The

ORGANIZATION  OP  INSTITUTIONS. 

The  Board  conaiaU  of  three  electors  of  the  state,  no  two  from  the  iane 
congressional  district  and  none  from  a  county  in  which  one  of  these  state 
institutions  is  located,  appointed  by  the  governor,  by  and  with  tbe  advice 
and  consent  of  the  senate,  for  four  years,  at  a  salary  of  (2600  a  year  and 
traveling  expenaea.  The  governor  can  remove  a  member  for  canae,  nie 
Office  force  is  composed  of  a  aecretary,  at  $2000;  a  bookkeeper,  at  flGOO; 
and  two  atenographers,  at  $900  each,  appointed  by  the  Board.  The  Board 
selects  the  superintendents,  by  and  with  the  consent  of  the  governor.  Tke 
superintendents  select  all  officers  and  employees,  under  civil-service  rries. 
The  superintendent  ia  the  executive  officer  of  the  institution,  and  the  Beard 
holds  each  superintendent  accountable  for  the  management  of  his  inatitatioa 
and  acts  in  a  judicial  capacity  between  the  inatitutiona  and  the  peopi*  of 
the  state.  If  you  have  not  the  right  man  at  tbe  head  of  the institatioo,  tmi 
if  you  have  not  the  right  kind  of  aabordinatea  under  that  man,  it  does  not 
make  any  difference  what  kind  of  a  ayatem  yon  have  or  bow  perfect  the 
equipment  of  an  Institution  may  be,  you  will  not  have  the  results  you  seek. 
The  Board  may  discharge  a  auperintendent  for  canse,  and  a  superintendekt 
may  diacharge  any  employee  for  cause.  There  baa  been  in  thia  state  » 
gradual  but  continual  process  of  elimination  of  the  "apoila"  system  far 
aeveral  years,  but  it  remained  for  tbe  Board  of  Control  and  civil-service- 
laws  to  eradicate  it  and  make  Its  reSstablishment  impossible.  Our  law 
provides  a  mesns  of  preventing  the  appointment  of  disqualifled  and  Ineeai- 
potent  officera  and  employees,  and  prevents  appointment  or  removal  far 
political  reasons.  Blacklisting  ia  protaihited,  and  upon  the  request  of  a  dia- 
charged  employee  the  superintendent  is  required  to  furnish  him,  in  wsitjag, 
the  true  cause  or  reason  for  socb  discharge. 

Very  little  is  known  about  the  institutions  of  a  state'  by  the  asdjasry 
'titizen.  Even  those  attending  one  institution  know  praeticallgr  aetkisg 
about  another.  Bow  many  can  correctly  name  and  locate  the  atat*  iaskits- 
tions  of  Kansas  T  Chancellors,  presidents,  superintendenU  and  «ar4eaa 
;koow  very  little  about  the  management  and  fadlitiea  of  the  other  iastitB- 
tions,  and  there  ia  no  concerted  action  to  accomplish  a  comsaok  purpose. 
It  matters  nothing  to  the  Uxpayers  whether  the  institutioas  wUch  they 
maintain  are  educational,  charitable,  correctional  or  penaL  They  ar«  all 
created  and  maintained  for  tbe  cure  and  prevention  of  Bcdsl  evils  of  som* 
description— of  ignorance,  of  disease,  of  poverty  or  of  crime— bat  all  eoeial 
«vilB  ftiw  out  of  general  social  conditions  and  can  not  be  socceBsfuIlT 
studied  except  in  their  mutual  relation. 

The  people  of  the  state  should  be  proud  of  the  appearance,  condition  and 
management  of  our  public  institutions.  They  are  a  credit  to  the  state. 
They  stand  as  monuments  to  the  pn^reasive  apirit  of  the  citizens  of  tbe 
aUte. 

Our  Board  has  endeavored  to  follow  a  broad-minded  and  generous  policy, 
and  to  apply  the  same  to  the  public  and  to  the  various  inatitutiona,  pnbQc 
and  private,  in  a  patient  and  considerate  manner.     We  believe  it  ii  posiibl*

SALARIES  OF  OFFICERS  AND  EMPLOYEES. 

The  n»ine  tind  Balary  of  each  officer  and  employee  in  each  of  the  aeveral 
institutions  at  the  close  of  the  bieonium  is  given  in  the  reports  of  anperin- 
tendeata.  The  regular  officers  and  employeeB  listed  by  the  superintendents 
are  paid  out  of  the  salary  funds.  Persons  employed  by  the  day  to  assist 
the  regular  employees  in  making  repairs  and  improvements,  are  usually  paid 
out  of  the  maintenance  and  repairs  fund,  bat  in  some  instances  are  paid  out 
of  the  salary  fund  or  out  of  special  appropriations.  Persons  employed  by 
contractora  for  buildings  or  improvements  let  by  contract  are  paid  by  the 
contractor,  who  receives  his  pay  ont  of  special  appropriations,  nnleas  there 
ia  no  apecial  appropriation  for  the  building  or  improvem«it  made,  in  which 
event  the  same  ia  paid  out  of  the  maintenance  and  repaira  fund. 

The  superintendents  in  their  reports  give  the  changes  in  the  official  staff, 
but  not  of  the  coming  and  going  of  the  vast  number  of  employees.  The 
help  question  is  the  greatest  that  confronta  and  tries  the  ma&agomant  of 
our  state  institutions.

Chaimian  Bowmmn  hu  auperriied  the  viaiUitioiis  and  the  obtaining;  of 
reporte  from  the  private  institutioDS  under  the  flupervision  of  the  Board, 
the  apportionmeat  of  the  fanda  to  the  private  inatitutima  receiving  Btat« 
aid,  and  the  investiKation  and  granting  of  eertiftcatea  to  private  inatitntions 
■olicitbg  fanda  in  more  than  one  county  in  the  states  He  has  alao  auper- 
viaed  the  collMttona  for  the  care  and  maintenance  of  patienta  at  the  atata 
inaane  bospitala,  written  the  briefs  in  the  eaaea,  and  visited  different 
coonties  in  attending  to  thea«  caaes.  He  also  spent  about  two  weeks  in 
June,  1911,  attending  the  National  Cmference  of  Charities  and  Correction 
at  Boatmi,  Haas.,  and  in  visiting  inatitutiona  in  that  vicinity  and  along  the 
roote.  The  three  members  of  the  Board  attended  ibe  National  Conference 
of  Charities  and  Correction  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  in  June,  1912.  Some  of  the 
odke  force  have  also  visited  the  state  and  private  institnuons  in  carrying 
on  the  work  of  the  Board.  The  members  of  the  Board  spent  a  great  deal 
of  time  visiting  numerous  sites  for  the  new  insane  hospital  and  the  tuber- 
enlar  sanitorium. 


FINANCIAL. 

"nie  provision  made  by  a  atate  for  the  education,  care  and  treatment  of 
its  unfortunates  furnishes  a  faithful  exponent  of  the  degree  of  civilization, 
enlightenment  and  intelligence  of  ita  citizena.  The  nine  atate  inetitutions 
now  under  the  management  and  control  of  this  Board  are  called  the  atate 
charitable  inatitutiona,  but  some  of  them  are  educational,  some  are  correc- 
tional, some  are  medical,  and  some  a  combination  of  theae  and  what  would 
be  termed  charitable.  The  total  appropnationa  to  these  nine  inatitutiona 
of  Kansas  for  each  year  do  not  amount  to  as  much  as  the  annual  increase 
in  the  cost  of  the  charity  service  of  some  of  the  other  states. 

The  total  appropriations  to  these  nine  institutions  made  by  the  legista- 
tnr«  of  1907  for  the  fiscal  years  1908  and  1909  were  |1,969.617.  The  toUl 
appropriations  made  by  the  legislature  of  1909  for  the  fiscal  years  1910  and 
1911  were  11,720,250,  and  on  account  of  the  Oklahoma  convicts  being 
retnraed  the  State  Penitentiary  was  unable  to  furnish  coal  to  all  the  insti- 
tationa,  and  the  legislature  of  1909  approptiated  (186,000  to  this  Board  for 
coa!  and  fuel,  which  is  still  beins:  used,  and  probably  is  sufRcicnt  for  this 
purpose  for  the  fiscal  year  1913.  The  total  appropriations  made  by  the 
legislature  of  19U  for  the  fiscal  years  1912  and  1913  were  (1,746.227,  and 
tbe  legialature  alao  appropriated  (100,000  for  a  new  Insane  Hospital  snd 
(W,000  for  a  State  Tubercular  Sanitorium.     Each  legislature  also  appro-

priates  back  to  the  institutions  the  amounts  collected  for  tbe  care  of 
inmates  and  from  the  sale  of  products. 

The  average  population  of  these  institutions  for  the  flacal  year  1907  was 
3939,  and  for  the  fiscal  year  1911  the  average  population  was  4S18,.an  in- 
crease of  579,  and  yet  the  total  appropriations  made  by  tbe  leKialatnre  to 
thsje  institutions  for  all  purposes  have  decreased.  This  decrease  is  due  to 
three  things:  (1)  less  was  appropriated  for  new  buildings;  (2)  the  increase 
in  the  amount  collected  for  the  care  of  insane  persons  at  the  state  hospitals, 
a'ld  (3)  the  busineaa  system  upon  which  these  institutions  are  run. 

Appropriations  are  one  thing  and  expenditures  are  another.  Appropria- 
tions have  to  be  made  before  any  money  can  be  expended.  The  money 
stays  in  the  office  of  the  state  treasurer,  and  can  only  be  drawn  out  upon 
sworn  vouchers  from  the  individual  or  lirm  doing  the  work  or  famishing 
flupplieu.  For  the  fiscal  year  1911.  $282,196.67  was  expended  from  tbe  sal- 
ary funds,  $466,643.88  from  the  maintenance  fund:',  and  $48,912.07  from  the 
fee-account  funds,  a  toUl  of  |78T,662  62.  For  the  fiscal  year  1912.  $289,- 
469.02  was  expended  from  thelealary  funds,  $444,922.27  from  the  mainte- 
nance funds,  and  $66,114.02  from  the  fee-account  funds,  a  total  of  $800,606.31. 
These  funds  are  designated  by  the  legislature  as  "current  expensea."  The 
unexpended  balances  in  the  salary  funds  and  tbe  maintenance  funds,  $S0,- 
659.46  In  1911  and  »9,614.71  in  1912,  went  back  into  the  general-revenue 
funds  of  the  state.  There  was  on  June  80,  1912,  an  unexpended  balance  of 
$142,658.89  in  the  fee-account  funds  of  the  institutions,  which  was  reap- 
propriated  by  the  legislature  for  the  fiscal  year  1918.  This  is  chiefly  from 
collections  for  the  care  of  the  insane.  We  went  into  this  matter  fully  on 
pages  392  to  398  of  our  biennial  report  of  1906,  pages  168  to  186  of  our  bi- 
ennial report  of  1908,  and  pages  189  to  198  of  our  biennial  report  of  1910. 

For  the  fiscal  year  of  1911,  $87,272.05  of  the  special  appropriations  tothe 
institutions  and  $47,876.99  of  the  fuel  fund  was  expended.  For  tbe  fiscal 
year  1912,  $133,368.33  of  the  special  appropriations  to  tbe  institutions  and 
$46,879.37  of  the  fuel  fund  was  expended.  There  was  on  June  30,  1911, 
a  balance  of  $1611.86  in  tbe  special  appropriations,  which  went  back  into 
the  general-revenue  fund  of  the  state.  On  June  30,  1312,  there  was  a  bal- 
ance of  £79,669.67  in  the  special  appropriations,  most  of  which  was  reappro- 
priated  for  tbe  fiscal  year  1913.  There  was  also  a  balance  of  $36,767.82  in 
the  fuel  fond,  which  was  also  reappropriated  for  the  fiscal  year  1918. 

The  appropriations  to  the  Board  of  Control  for  salaries  of  members,  office 
force,  traveling  and  contingent  funds  for  the  fiscal  year  1911  was  $16,000, 
out  of  which  $14,983  was  expended,  and  for  tbe  fiscal  year  1912,  16,600  was 
appropriated,  out  of  which  $16,182.22  was  expended. 

The  following  financial  tables,  1,  2,  3,  4  and  5,  give  the  figures  in  detaiL

October  22.  1906,  to  make  room  for  Elisabeth  Hull.  Labette  county  has 
presented  bills  regularly  since  that  time,  which  have  been  allowed.  How- 
ever, we  are  recently  in  poaaaasion  of  information  that  this  patient  baa 
$961.17  in  money,  and  such  being  the  case,  the  county  is  not  entitled  under 
the  law  to  $2  per  week  for  he-  care,  as  she  ia  not  a  destitute  patient.  She 
has  paid  for  her  clothing  regularly  since  being  keptat  the  county  fann,  and 
the  last  report  of  the  guardian,  Harvey  Terwilliger,  showed  the  above- 
named  amount  on  hand.     We  do  not  consider  this  claim  a  jiut  one.

CHARITIES  AND  CORRECTION. 

CHUt  W.  Onia.  Baentaiy  Bute  Beuil  of  Centrol.  Camapandint  Secretary  of  tbaBtats

NBW  LEGISLATION 

1.  All  private  institutioDB  of  the  state  of  a  charitable  nature  are  sub' 
ject  to  the  visitation,  inspection  and  supervision  of  the  State  Board  of 
Control,  and  the  legislature  of  1911  appropriated  $15,000  for  the  fiscal  years 
ending  June  30,  1912,  and  June  30,  1913,  to  be  apportioned  by  the  Board  of 
Control  among  these  various  institutions  In  accordance  with  the  amount  of 
charity  work  done  and  the  facilities  for  handling  and  properly  expending 
the  money  so  apportioned.  Fifty-nine  institutions  received  state  aid  under 
this  act. 

2.  All  charitable  or  benevolent  institutions  desiring  to  solicit  aid  in 
more  than  one  county  are  required  to  obtain  a  certificate  from  the  State 
Board  of  Control  authorizing  such  soliciting.  The  Board  requires  a  show- 
ing to  be  made  of  the  past  work  of  the  society  and  its  desires  and  ainu  for 
future  work.  At  the  time  of  the  passage  of  this  act,  one  children'a  home- 
finding  society  waa  solicitin'^  funds  for  the  purpose  of  building  or  pur- 
chasing a  business  buildiig  to  be  used  as  an  advertisement  for  the  society 
and  the  income  of  which  was  to  be  used  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  in  paying 
the  expenses  of  the  society.  The  Board  of  Control  haa  refused  authority 
to  Bollcit  for  such  purpose.  One  children's  home-finding  society  wss  re- 
fused permission  to  solicit  for  the  purpose  of  paying  the  expenses  of  find- 
ing homes  on  account  of  poor  business  management  by  the  officers  of  the 

3.  Providing  for  the  treatment  of  children  afflicted  with  any  deformity 
or  malady  that  may  be  cured  by  surgical  operation  or  by  treatment  at  the 
hoapital  of  the  University  Medical  School  at  Rosedale,  Kan.  This  act  con- 
templates the  sending  of  children  from  ntate  institutions  and  of  indigent 
children  from  county  homes  or  by  the  counties  direct  to  the  ho!>pital,  the 
county  from  which  the  child  comes  paying  the  expenses  in  each  case,  ex- 
cept that  where  children  are  eent  fiom  the  state  schools  or  hospitals  the 
school  or  hospital  pays  the  expenses  of  taking  the  child  to  and  from  the 
University  Hoapital  out  of  the  maintenance  fund.  The  operation  and  treat- 
ment at  the  University  Hospital  is  free,  but  charge  is  made  for  care  and 
maintenance  while  at  the  hospital.

fused  admission  to  the  state  taoapitals  for  want  of  room,  by  pAying  to  the 
counties  maintaining  such  destitute  insane,  upon  proper  showing,  the  ram 
of  $2  per  week  for  each  patient.  The  total  amount  appropriated  by  the 
legislature  of  1911  for  this  purpose  was  (3546.65.  the  amount  being  distrib- 
uted to  17  counties  out  of  106. 

5.  An  act  authorizing  the  directors  of  the'  State  Penitentiary  to  erect, 
equip  and  maintain  in  connection  with  the  State  Penitentiary  suitable  buiki' 
ings,  to  be  known  as  the  "State  Asylum  for  the  Dangerous  Insane,"  and 
providing  for  the  care  of  criminal  or  dangerous  insane  therein.  Patients 
may  be  transferred  thereto  from  the  state  hospitals  for  the  insane  upon 
order  of  the  Board  of  Control.  Patients  may  also  be  sent  direct  thereto  by 
verdict  of  a  jury  and  order  of  the  district  court,  where  they  have  been 
found  to  have  committed  criminal  acts  while  insane.  This  act  has  been 
passed  upon  by  the  supreme  court  and  held  to  be  constitutional.  It  is 
probable  that  the  next  legislature  will  make  a  sufRcient  appropriation  to 
enable  the  board  of  directors  to  build  suitable  buildings  for  this  purpose. 

6.  An  act  making  it  a  felony  for  any  husband  who  without  just  cause 
•hall  desert  or  neglect  and  refuse  to  provide  for  the  support  of  his  wife  in 
destitute  or  neceasitous  circumstances,  or  any  parent  who  shall  refuse  to 
provide  for  the  support  and  maintenance  of  his  or  her  child  or  children 
under  the  age  of  sixteen  years  in  destitute  or  neceaeitous  circumstances. 
Several  prosecutions  have  been  had  under  this  act,  and  wife  desertion  and 
desertion  of  little  children  has  become  exceedingly  unpopular  in  Kansas. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  the  following  laws  are  contributing  to  the  gen- 
eral social  advancement  of  the  people : 

The  adoDiion  of  the  commission  form  of  government  in  twenty-six 
cities  of  the  state  places  direct  responsibility  for  the  care  and  manaj^ement 
of  public  parks,  public  utilities  and  general  financial  and  industrial  condi- 

Enlargement  of  the  powers  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  and  providing 
for  fire  escapes  on  all  public  buildings,  apartment  bouses  and  factories; 
the  abolishment  of  the  public  drinking  cup  and  the  roller  towel  and  the 
strict  inspection  of  hotel  and  restaurant  kitchens. 

The  enactment  of  child-labor  laws,  prohibiting  the  employment  of  chil- 
dren under  fourteen  years  of  age  in  any  capacity,  and  prohibiting  the 
employment  of  children  under  the  age  of  sixteen  years  in  mines,  factories 
or  dangerous  places. 

RESULTS  OF  NEW  LEGISLATION. 

1.  The  legislature  of  1911  provided  for  the  eBtabliehment  of  a  new  hos- 
pital for  the  insane,  and  appropriated  $100,000  for  thip  purpose.  Fifteen 
towns  and  cities  were  applicants  therefor,  and  the  Board  of  Control,  after 
visiting  all  of  the  sites  offered,  located  the  same  at  Larned,  Kan. 

2.  This  legislature  also  appropriated  fEO.OOO  for  the  location  of  a  State 
Tubercular  Sanitorium,  which  is  1o  be  located  by  the  Board  of  Control  upon 
the  advice  and  recommendation  of  an  advisory  commission  of  physicians  sp- 
pointed  by  the  governor. 

3  The  new  psychopathic  and  reception  hospilat  for  the  treatment  of  the 
insane  at  the  Topeka  State  Hospital  will  be  opened  about  June  1,  and  will 
have  a  capacity  of  140  patients.  This  hospital  is  equipped  with  all  of  the 
latest  hydrotherapeutic  apparatus,  and  will  be  in  charge  of  a  competent 
physician  and  trained  nurses.

NEW  DEVELOPMENTS. 

There  have  been  marked  developments  in  the  treatment  of  the  [uriflonen 
Id  the  Penitentiary  under  the  present  warden,  J.  K.  Codding.  Hr.  Codding'a 
theory  is  that  the  Penitentiary  is  a  repair  shop  for  men  rather  than  a  place 
of  punishment;  that  criminality  is  a  disease— a  preventable  one. 

The  policy  is  to  give  each  prisoner: 

1.  A  full  day  of  hard,  productive  labor. 

2.  Plain,  wholesome,  properly  prepared  food,  with  a  decent  bed  and 
medical  attention. 

3.  Discipline  firmly  and  wisely  administered. 

i.  Night  school  six  months  of  the  year,  which  over  one-third  of  the 
prisoners  attend. 

5.  Thirty  minutes  each  day  for  recreation. 

6.  Spiritual  training;  voluntary  Bible  claaaea  having  grown  from  60  to  32G. 
Special  attention  has  been  given  to  tuberculosis.    The  dealb  rate  has 

been  reduced  from  Dine  per  year  to  one  a  year. 

Great  attention  has  been  given  to  the  parole  system,  and  out  of  ninety- 
seven  paroled  only  seven  have  broken  their  paroles,  and  of  that  number 
only  one  committed  a  crime,  the  others  being  brought  back  for  failing  to 
report,  getting  drunk,  etc. 

SOCIAL  NBED8. 

There  abould  be  eatabliibed  a  home  for  the  aged.  Many  old  persons 
are  aeot  to  the  hospitals  for  the  insane,  or  application  made  therefor,  who 
could  t>e  mors  properly  cared  for  in  a  home  for  such  people. 

There  should  also  be  established  a  home  for  incurable  cripples.  These 
two  might,  perhaps,  be  consolidated  and  taken  care  of  in  one  institution. 

Some  means  should  be  provided  for  the  after-care  of  the  insane— some 
method  by  which  persons  paroled  or  discharged  from  the  hospitals  for  the 
insane  might  be  employed  and  more  carefully  looked  after.  Many  persons 
who  are  now  paroled  or  discharged  from  hospitals  for  the  insane,  and  who 
afcerarard  return  to  the  institutions,  might,  if  given  proper  employment 
noder  patient  and  sympathetic  aupervision,  be  able  to  make  their  way  with- 
out returning  to  the  inatilution. 

Stricter  supervision  of  the  private  children's  home-finding  societies 
would,  in  our  jodgmcnt.  result  in  preventing  traffic  in  children,  whereby

the  home-finder  secures  a  fee  both  from  the  county  or  person  desiring  to 
place  the  child  and  from  the  home  or  person  with  whom  the  child  is  placed. 
It  would  also  result  in  better  care  of  the  children  and  better  home  sur- 
roundings. 

THB  SOCIAL  OUTLOOK. 

1.  The  social  outlook  is  particularly  bright  at  this  time.  Kansas  iione 
of  the  few  states  where  the  prohibitory  law  has  been  in  force  long  enough  to 
produce  appreciable  results.  It  has  been  on  our  statute  books  so  long  many 
of  our  young  men  have  grown  to  manhocxl  and  have  never  seen  a  saloon. 
In  this  state  prohibition  has  decreased  crime  and  increased  the  credit  of  in- 
dividuals and  has  improved  industrial  conditions  generally.  There  is  on 
deposit  in  the  banks  of  Kansas  tl08  per  capita  for  every  man,  woman  and 
child  in  the  state.  And  in  point  of  illiteracy  Kansas  has  the  lowest  per 
cent  of  any  state  in  the  Union,  with  one  exception, 

2.  The  anticigarette  law  is  also  producing  a  wholeaome  effect,  especially 
among  the  minors.     In  moat  counties  the  law  is  rigidly  enforced. 

3.  The  state  is  also  making  much  progreas  in  fighting  the  "great  whits 
plague."  In  addition  to  appropriating  funds  for  the  establiahment  of  a 
sanatorium  for  the  treatment  of  tuberculosis,  it  maintains  a  traveling  lec- 
turer on  this  subject,  who  uses  moving-picture  films  in  connection  with  bis 
lecture  to  great  advantage.  This  year  he  has  already  lectured  in  about  12S 
towns.  One  important  thing  specialized  on  is  to  educate  the  young  people 
regarding  tuberculosis,  and  a  great  per  cent  of  good  will  come  in  the  next 
generation. 

PRISON  LABOR. 

1.  The  boards  of  county  commissioners  of  the  various  counties  of  the 
state  may,  under  such  rules  and  regulations  as  they  may  from  time  to  time 
provide,  require  all  male  prisoners  committed  to  the  jail  of  their  county, 
for  failure  to  pay  Rne  and  costs,  to  work  upon  the  public  streets,  highwsja, 
poor  farms  or  any  public  work,  under  the  direction  or  control  of  some  state 
or  county  official. 

2.  The  warden  of  the  State  Penitentiary  is  authorized  to  assist  in  the 
building  of  a  macadam  road  from  Leavenworth  to  Kansas  City  by  working 
the  prisoners  thereon,  when  the  counties  of  Wyandotte  and  Leavenworth 
shall  perform  certain  stipulated  conditions.  Under  previous  acts  the  in- 
mates of  the  Penitentiary  have,  under  charge  of  the  Board,  assisted  in  the 
building  of  a  paved  road  from  Lansing  to  Leavenworth  city.  No  contract 
labor  is  performed  at  either  the  State  Penitentiary  at  Lansing  or  tiis  Stale 
Reformatory  at  Hutchinson.  Industrial  shops  are  maintained  at  each  of 
these  institutions.  Also  quite  extensive  farming  operations  are  carried  on. 
all  under  direction  of  the  g-uards  of  the  institution  A  coal  mine  ia  main- 
tained at  the  State  Penitentiary  at  Lansing,  where  approximately  thirty 
cora  of  coal  are  mined  each  week.  This  is  also  done  by  the  inmates  in 
charge  of  guards.  The  coal  mined  is  shipped  to  the  various  state  charitable 
and  educational  institutions,  the  Penitentiary  taking  credit  therefor  at  the 
uniform  price  of  $3  per  ton  but  the  institutions  receiving  the  coal  do  not 
pay  therefor.  The  product  of  the  induatial  shops  is  used  about  the  institu- 
tion. A  brick  plant  is  also  maintained  at  the  State  Penitentiary,  and  the 
brick  is  used  in  building  state  institutions  and  paving  about  the  same.  The 
binding-twine  factory  furnishes  practically  all  of  the  binding  twine  used  in 
Kansas,  and  the  excess  product  is  sold  in  other  states.    The  price  at  which

From  this  table  the  following  important  facte  may  i>e  summarized: 
There  were  admitted  during  the  two  years  714  patients,  an  increase  of 
181  patients  over  the  preceding  biennium.  Of  the  number  390  peisons  (261 
males  and  129  females)  were  admitted  during  the  year  ending  June  80, 
1911,  and  321  peratHU  (220  males  and  104  females)  were  admitted  during 
the  year  ending  June  30,  1912.  During  the  two  years  there  were  687  re- 
movals from  the  hospital  (446  males  and  241  females).  Of  the  removals, 
146  (96msleB  and  50  females)  were  discharged  "restored,"  while  162  (93 
males  »nd  69  females)  were  discharged  "improved."  These  figures  indi- 
cate that  during  the  two  years  the  mental  condition  of  808  persons  improved 
safficiantly  to  enable  them  to  return  to  their  homes  and  become  self-sup- 
porting unita  of  society.  These  removals,  based  on  the  number  of  admis- 
sions during  the  same  period,  indicate  a  percentage  of  43  plus,  who 
recovered,  or  improved  sufficiently  to  enable  them  to  reside  outside  the

84  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control. 

hospiUL  These  results  were  2.5  per  cent  better  than  sbowD  in  the  preced- 
ingr  biennial  report. 

During  the  period  covered  in  this  reporc  the  number  of  unpromising 
cases  admitted  has  not  been  reduced.  The  involution  group  of  cases  con- 
tinues to  grow.  It  is  interesting  to  compare  the  types  of  cases  as  returned 
in  our  more  recent  reports.  The  biennium  ending  June  30,  1906,  reported 
81  involution  cases,  43  of  whom  were  senile  dementia.  In  the  report  of 
1908  there  were  reported  78  involution  cases,  with  67  senile  dementia;  1910 
reported  lOI  involutions  with  81  seniles;  1912,  209  involutions,  with  84  se- 
niles. These  figures^indicate  a  growing  tendency  of  society  to  penalize  old 
age.  "Honoring  thy  father  and  thy  mother"  and  caring  for  them  in  the 
days  of  their  infirmity  seems  to  be  becoming  too  antiquated  a  dogma  for 
this  progressive  age.  Filial  duty  is  certainly  a  fading  jewel  in  the  social 
crown.  Another  Interesting  deduction  from  the  classification  table  is  that 
the  paresis  group  has  increased  from  25  admitted  during  the  two  yeara 
ending  June  30,  1908,  to  57  for  the  biennium  ending  June  SO,  1912.  This 
large  increase  may  have  been  accidental,  however.  It  is  consistent  with 
the  generally  recognized  fact  that  this  incurable  type  of  insanity  is  in- 
creasing in  frequency. 

These  deductions  only  emphasize  the  well-linown  fact  that  the  ratio  of 
incurable  types  of  insanity  to  the  total  number  of  admissions  to  hospitals 
for  the  insane  are  increasing.  It  has  not  infrequently  been  remarked  that 
with  all  the  advance  in  the  care  and  treatment  of  the  insane,  that  the  per- 
centage of  restorations  ia  not  greater  than  that  reported  at  an  earlier  date 
in  the  history  of  psychiatry.  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  the  increasingly  un- 
favorable character  of  the  cases  admitted  to  the  hospitals  for  treatment  is 
a  fair  and  reasonable  explanation  of  this  criticism.  In  view  of  this  fact,  it 
ia  complimentary  to  the  work  of  the  hospitals  that  the  percentages  of  rea- 
torations  have  not  actually  declined.  Doubtless,  if  reliable  statistics  were 
obtainable,  it  could  be  demonstrated  that  there  has  been  very  material  in- 
crease in  t^e  ratio  of  recoveries  with  the  more  favorable  forms  of  insanity. 

The  statistical  tables  relating  to  percentages  of  cases  recovered  and  im- 
proved are  interesting  in  that  they  show  the  important  influence  of  the  age 
of  the  individual  on  the  prospect  of  recovery;  also,  the  duration  of  the  at- 
tack, together  with  decreasing  probability  of  recovery  of  'attacks  subse- 
quent to  the  first  attack. 

HOBTUARY  BBFOBT. 

The  death  rate,  consistent  with  the  increasing  age  of  our  population, 
shows  an  increase;  there  having  been  244  deaths,  compared  with  161  deaths 
reported  during  the  preceding  two  years.  Of  the  deaths,  46  were  the  re- 
sult of  paresis,  37  senile  exhaustion  and  29  tuberculosis.  Pellagra  is  the 
assigned  cause  of  one  death.  The  case  was  that  of  a  man,  age  66  years. 
The  disease  was  in  an  advanced  stage  upon  admission,  the  exhaustion  in- 
creasing rapidly  until  death  supervened  after  two  months'  residence  in 
hospital.  Two  other  cases  of  the  disease  have  been  diagnosed  during  the 
biennium;  one,  a  man,  age  46  years,  with  a  markedly  confusional  type  of 
psychosis,  was  discharged  restored  (mentally)  after  eleven  months'  resi- 
dence. There  was  also  remission  in  the  pellagrous  symptoms  of  this  case 
coincident  with  the  improvement  in  mental  state.  The  third  case,  a  woman, 
age  27  years,  admitted  twenty-six  months  ago,  is  still  under  treatment.

The  case  has  experienced  aeveral  severe  cxacerbationa  of  the  ajmptoma, 
and  is  now  very  greatly  reduced  physically.  The  corresponding  psychosis 
id  dementia  prsecox,  catatonic. 

We  regret  having  to  report  three  deaths  from  suicide  by  haoging.  These 
persons  had  not  manifested  suicidal  tendencies,  and  vere  therefore  not  in 
the  observation  wards,  taking  advantage  of  opportunitiea  thus  afforded. 
The  inquest  in  each  case  relieved  the  hospital  of  all  blame  concerning  the 
unfortunate  events. 

It  is  a  sad  duty  to  report  the  untimely  death  of  attendant,  D.  F.  Thomp- 
son, on  November  8,  1911.  At  an  unguarded  moment  a  strongly  homicidal 
colored  man  struck  him  a  blow  with  a  floor  rubber,  knocking  him  down, 
then  striking  him  a  fatal  blow  over  the  kidney.  Following  the  assanit  hia 
condition  indicated  a  aerioua  abdominal  injury.  He  was  removed  to  hospital 
and  the  abdomen  opened.  It  was  found  that  a  cystic  kidney  bad  been  rup- 
tured, causing  copious  bleeding.  The  kidney  was  removed,  the  abdomen 
closed,  but  the  unfortunate  man  survived  but  an  hour.  Hr.  Thampeon  waa 
a  man  old  in  the  service,  reliable  and  trustworthy  in  every  particular,  and 
respected  by  all.     His  untimely  death  waa  greatly  regretted. 

Other  than  the  foregoing  caaualties,  there  have  been  no  accidents  of  im- 
portance—only a  few  fractures  from  falls  and  other  minor  injnriea. 

PSYCHOPATHIC  HOSPITAL. 

The  important  event  in  the  hospital's  affairs  during  the  period  has  been 
the  compleUon  of  the  reception  hospital.  It  is  the  realisation  of  our  most 
urgent  want,  and  with  its  completion  we  feel  that  we  are  thoroughly 
equipped  to  give  our  patients  the  benefit  of  the  moat  modern  methods  in 
treating  the  insane.     The  plan  of  building,  briefly  outlined,  is  as  follows : 

A  central  building,  three  storiee  in  front,  with  wings  extending  from 
either  side,  which  are  two  stories.  The  lower  floor,  center,  is  arranged  for 
the  resident  physician's  quarters,  together  with  the  office  room,  drug  room, 
chief  nurse's  office  and  nurses'  dining  room  in  front,  with  two  Urge  dining 
rooms  for  patients  to  the  rear,  with  kitchen,  storage  rooms,  etc.,  back  of 
the  dining  rooms. 

The  second  floor  center  is  arranged  in  front  for  surgery,  while  to  the 
rear  are  the  rooms  where  the  hyd  roth  era  peutic  apparatus  is  installed.'  The 
third  floor  center  is  arranged  for  nurses'  quarters. 

The  wings,  on  either  side  of  the  center  building,  are  wards  for  patients. 
The  wards  are  modern  in  every  detail,  with  diet  kitchen,  examination  room, 
showers,  and  rest  rooms.  Detached  from  either  lower  ward  is  an  isolated 
feature  for  the  accommodation  of  noisy,  maniacal  cases.  This  arrangement 
is  such  that  the  noisy  cases  are  completely  segregated.  Connected  with 
these  rooms  are  installed  the  continuous  bath  tubs,  thua  providing  for  the 
complete  aeparation  of  the  disturbed  cases  from  the  quieter  patients. 

It  ia  our  plan  to  use  this  building  entirely  for  the  treatment  of  acute  and 
probably  curable  caaee  or  cases  that  can  be  relieved.  With  its  advantages 
we  shall  be  able  to  do  all  that  can  be  done  to  assist  in  the. mental  restora- 
tion of  our  patients.  The  completion  of  this  building  satisfles  completely  a 
long-feit  want,  and  1  hope  we  do  not  manifest  an  unseemly  pride  in  this  im- 
portant improvement  of  our  equipment. 

The  direct  appropriation  for  the  building  was  $100,000.  The  flnishing 
work  haa  been  done  b;  tiie  labor  of  the  hospital.    The  heating  and  water

service,  the  layiDif  and  finishing  of  the  floors,  all  the  painting,  both  exterior 
snd  interior,  the  electric  wiring  and  installation  of  fixtures,  the  Tn*lcing 
and  banging  of  window  screens,  has  all  heen  done  by  the  patients  and  the 
usaal  employees  ot  the  hoapital. 

A  fair  eatimate  of  the  value  of  the  building  and  equipment  b  |126,000. 
The  capacity  of  the  building  will  be  136  beds  when  comfortably  filled,  to- 
gether with  surgery,  hydrotherapy,  Durses'  quarters  and  other  accessories. 

OTHRR  lUPBOVEMENTS. 

During  the  last  year  was  began  and  completed  an  important  undertaking 
in  the  construction  of  a  pipe  tunnel  extending  from  the  general  ward  build- 
ing, passing  the  site  of  the  reception  hospital,  thence  passing  the  detached 
cottages  for  women,  and  on  to  the  new  building  for  women,  now  under 
process  of  construction. 

The  tunnel  is  1000  feet  long  by  six  feet  high  and  six  feet  wide.  The 
construction  is  all  concrete.  The  excavation  and  all  other  work  was  done 
by  the  hospital's  labor,  and  a  great  deal  of  the  filler  was  made  of  brokoi 
brick  and  other  refuse  about  the  premises.  This  tunnel  will  enable  us  to 
connect  the  hospital  building  and  the  cottages  directly  with  the  general 
heating  and  power  plant.  The  heating  systems  that  were  installed  in  the 
cottages  have  been  distressingly  unsuccessful,  and  we  expect  that  this  im- 
provement will  prove  highly  satisfactory.  The  cost  of  constructioB  of  the 
tunnel  has,  for  reasons  indicated,  been  reduced  to  a  very  modest  anm. 

New  Cottage  for  IfoTnen.— The  last  legislature  appropriated  $35,000  for 
the  erection  of  a  custodial  building  for  women.  The  contract  for  the  con- 
struction of  this  building  has  been  let  to  Hesars.  Carter  &  Young,  of  Law- 
rence. The  excavation  and  construction  of  the  basemsnt  walls,  together 
with  the  first  floor,  was  reserved  from  the  contract  and  has  been  done  by 
the  patients,  under  supervision.  It  is  all  reinforced  concrete  work,  and  is 
now  ready  for  Uie  contractor  to  begin  the  superstructure.  The  pursuit  of 
this  work  has  been  so  satisfactory  that  I  regret  that  the  entire  building 
was  not  completed  in  the  same  way.  It  is  proposed  to  do  all  the  interior 
flninhing  of  this  building  with  our  own  help,  the  same  as  was  done  in  the 
hospital  building.  Experience  teaches  me  that  nearly  all  kinds  of  work  can 
be  done  successfully  by  the  insane.  That  moderate  occupation  is  an  im- 
portant remedial  agent  in  the  treatment  of  the  insane  is  recognized  by  all 
alienists.  I  think  the  policy  of  opportunities  for  employment  should  be 
enlarged,  and  I  know  of  nothing  that  is  so  practical  as  concrete  construc- 
tion. Many  of  the  patients  become  very  skillful  in  the  art  of  concrete 
work;  their  interests  in  the  affairs  of  life  are  awakened,  and  it  has  been  my 
pleasure  to  observe  the  daily  improved  mental  condition  of  several  of  these 
men  while  thus  engaged  in  healthful  exercise  in  the  open. 

TRAINING  SCHOOL  AND  BETTER  SERVICE. 

With  the  completion  of  the  reception  hospital,  we  are  planning  to  im- 
prove the  work  of  the  training  school.  Hiss  Mary  Graves,  who  comes  to 
us  with  good  credentials,  has  been  engaged  as  chief  nurse  of  the  hospital 
and  auparintendent  of  the  training  school.  We  expect  thst,  under  more 
competent  supervision,  interest  in  training  work  will  be  stimulated  and  that 
the  quality  of  the  nursing  service  will  be  improved.  The  course  of  inatruc- 
tion  will  be  extended,  especislly  in  practical  training.  We  expect  to  have 
the  senior  pupil  nurses  assigned  to  tours  of  duty  in  the  hydrotherapy  and

Burs^cal  aervice,  thna  giving  ample  opportunity  to  become  proficient  in  the 
technic  of  prutical  nureing.  Our  experience  is  that  of  other  superintend- 
ents in  procnring  and  retaining  desirable  nuraea  for  the  proper  care  of  our 
patients.  During  recent  yeare  there  has  developed  a  claaaof  careless,  reat- 
lese,  incompetent,  rovinK  hospital  workera.  It  is  the  habit  of  these  people 
to  find  an  engagement  in  some  hospital,  and  after  a  few  weeks'  or  months' 
service,  without  cause  or  aufflcient  reaaon,  to  quit  their  engagement  to  seek 
employment  in  some  other  hospital.  It  is  a  condition  that  is  most  unsatis- 
factory, both  to  the  hoapital  and  the  restleaa  employee.  The  cause  of  thia 
undesirable  condition  does  not  rest  altogether  with  the  roving  workers; 
some  material  faults  are  chargeable  to  the  institutions.  All  agree  that,  if 
possible,  thia  condition  ahonld  be  improved.  In  finding  a  remedy  it  aeema 
very  proper  that  the  faults  chargeable  to  the  hospitals  demand  our  first  at- 
tention. Occaaionally  a  layman  is  aufficiently  interested  to  inquire  of  the 
wagea  paid  our  nurses  and  attendants.  When  told  they  are  paid  from  $22 
to  $S3  per  month  they  are  surprised  and  wonder  bow  we  are  able  to  aecure 
people  for  such  indifferent  pay.  Indeed  it  is  difficult,  and  too  often  reaulis 
in  the  necessity  of  employment  of  very  unpromising  persons.  However,  we 
find  it  more  difficult  or  impoasible  to  get  appropriations  that  will  allowus  to 
pay  a  betterfwage.  Tbe  only  method  that  will  be  successful  in  establiebing 
a  class  of  efficient  hospital  workers  la  to  pay  a  wage  that  will  satisfy  in  a 
measure  the  commendable  ambition  of  competent  men  and  women  to  remain 
in  employment  that  will  enable  them  to  lay  np  at  least  a  competency  during 
their  productive  yeara  for  their  support  in  tbe  decline  of  life.  In  other 
worda,  hospital  nuraing  should  be  placed  on  a  professional  basis,  and  the 
remuDeiBtion  should  be  sufficient  to  attract  intelligent  persons  of  character 
to  enlist  in  tbe  profession. 

Another  beam  that  might  well  be  removed  from  the  inatitutional  eye.  In 
connection  with  this  lervice  problem,  relatea  to  tbe  k>ng  houra  that  the 
work  enjoina.  Our  aervica  requires  an  attendant  to  go  onduty  at  6:80  a.  H. 
and  remain  on  duty  until  eight  or  nine  o'clock  p.  ii. ,  with  a  half  day  off  duty 
every  nine  days— thia,  with  an  exacting  duty  that  requires  tact,  int«IIigence 
and  tmatworthinesa,  all  for  the  aum  of  |27D  to  (390  per  annum. 

Again,  another  fault  resUng  with  tbe  hoapitala  is  the  improper  accom- 
modation of  the  employeea.  Until  recently  the  usual  provision  for  the  at- 
tendants consisted  of  rooms  on  the  wards  with  the  patients.  How  improper 
thia  arrangement  is  certainly  requires  but  little  detailed  comment.  After 
a  long  day  of  ward  duty,  with  trying  experiences  with  the  insane,  it  doea 
not  cement  the  bond  between  the  nurae  and  the  service  to  retire  to  a  reat- 
leas  bed  located  in  the  midst  of  noise  and  disturbing  influenceB.  Many  of 
the  hospitals  of  the  country  are  relieving  thia  trying  relation  between  the 
nurve  and  work  by  providing  auitable  nurses'  homes.  Sentiments  of  com- 
mon humanity  demand  improved  conditions  in  thia  undesirable  neglect.  The 
borne  life  of  the  nurses  sbonld  be  made  more  attractive  if  we  expect  con- 
tentment and  protracted  service. 

Illustrative  of  the  importance  of  tbe  foregoing  obeervationa,  I  regret  to 
report  that  of  the  eighty-five  nurses  who  have  graduated  from  the  training 
school  since  ita  organization,  but  twenty-one  are  at  this  time  in  the  service 
of  this  hospital.  The  others  have  wandered  far  afield.  Several  of  the  moat 
efficient  ones  are  employed  in  the  hoapitala  of  California  and  other  atates, 
where  the  pay  is  more'attractive.     Others  have  become  intereated  in  other

pursuits  of  life.  These  results  constitute  tlie  most  discoarBKing  feature  of 
training- school  work.  The  sdvantage  of  having'  a  corps  of  trained  nurses 
over  the  usual  untrained  attendant  is  so  very  important  that  the  cause  or 
causes  of  this  unfortunate  condition  should  be  located  and  if  possible  re- 
lieved. I  am  quite  sure  the  firat  and  most  important  cause  depends  on  the 
low  wage  paid.  The  pay  of  the  graduate  nurse  should  be  increased  to  at 
least  f36  tc  S40  per  month. 

Nuraeg'  Homes.— We  were  quite  hopeful  that  the  last  legislature  would 
at  least  appropriate  funds  for  building  one  of  the  two  nurses'  homes  that 
'  were  urgently  recommended.  In  this  expectation  we  were  disappointed. 
I  am  therefore  again  earnestly  requesting  these  improvements.  The  con- 
struction of  the  new  hospital  at  Larned  will  necessarily  be  slow.  The 
power  and  heating  plant,  the  domestic  buildings  and  other  accessories  will 
have  to  be  completed  before  the  patients'  buildings  that  may  be  con- 
structed can  be  occupied.  Before  the  new  hospital  can  receive  patients 
the  demand  for  more  room  for  the  care  of  the  insane  will  be  very  urgent 
and  diatressinK.  The  nurses'  homes  will  allow  us  to  vacate  the  rooms  in 
the  several  wards  that  are  now  occupied  by  the  nurses.  This,  in  turn,  will 
afford  considerable  room  for  additional  patients  and  will  go  far  to  relieve 
the  overcrowding  now  present.  I  therefore  most  urgently  recommend 
that  ^6,000  be  appropriated  for  the  erection  of  two  nurses'  homes. 
USDICJlL  sekvice. 

The  following  changes  in  the  medical  staff  have  occurred  during  the  two 
year*:  Dr.  K.  A.  Young  left  the  service,  and  was  auceeeded  by  Dr.  Lao 
Haugbey,  who  in  turn  reaigned,  after  one  year  of  service,  t«  engage  in 
private  practice.  During  the  past  year  Dr.  G.  E.  Heaner  has  been  en- 
gaged with  this  service.  Recently  Dr.  Maggie  HeCrea  resigned  to  take 
charge  of  a  private  sanitarium.  The  vacancy  thus  created  has  been  filled 
by  the  engagement  of  Dr.  Haude  S.  DeLand.  The  opening  of  the  recep- 
tion hospital  required  the  installation  of  an  additional  assistant  physician. 
Dr.  L.  C.  Bishop  has  been  engaged  with  this  important  aervice,  and  is  now 
becoming  fairly  settled  in  the  work  incident  to  the  opening  of  the  new  hos- 
pital. Doctors  Cooper  and  Scott  have  continued  as  efficient,  trained  mem- 
bers of  the  aUff. 

Preceding  observationa  relative  to  the  remuneration  of  nuraes  applies 
with  even  trreater  force  to  the  uninviting  pay  of  the  hospital  staff.  When 
we  consider  the  list  of  bright,  energetic,  efficient  young  men  who  have  quit 
the  medical  service  of  this  hospital  during  the  past  yeara  becauae  of  dis- 
satisfaction with  the  pay.  we  are  compelled  to  regret  the  short-sighted 
economy  that  has  been  practiced  in  thus  alienating  these  desirable  persona 
from  our  service. 

One  year  is  a  « hort  time  for  a  physician  to  become  proficient  in  the  work 
of  an  assistant,  however  well  equipped  he  may  be  in  general  medical  train- 
ing. With  a  desirable  assistant,  the  longer  he  remains  the  more  useful  he 
becomes.  These  facts  being  self-evident,  then  it  certainly  follows  that 
there  should  be  an  increasing  salary  schedule,  based  on  continued  service 
and  quality  uf  worli.  We  should  cease  to  be  a  training  school  for  other  in- 
stitutions and  other  lines  of  professional  work  offering  more  attractive  sala- 
ries. 

Th4  ttaff  mettingB  have  been  an  important  feature  of  the  medical  work.

At  theae  mMtinga  the  patients  are  preaented  for  examinatian  and  atudy  by 
all  the  members  of  the  staff.  The  influence  on  the  medical  work  of  the 
staff  meetings  has  been  positively  good.  It  has  been  especially  important  in 
developing  interest  in  the  study  of  psychiatry. 

Doctor  Cooper  has  continaed  the  work  in  the  clinical  laboratory,  and  faia 
report  on  the  work  done  follows:

Denial  Work.— Some  proriaion  sboald  be  made  for  the  aerviee  of  a 
dentist  for  the  patients.  I  do  not  consider  it  naceasarj  to  engage  the  en- 
tire time  of  a  dentist,  but  I  think  a  satisfactory  connection  should  be 
arranged  that  would  provide  a  dentist  one  or  two  days  each  week.  I  be- 
lieve such  an  engagement  would  sufficiently  provide  for  the  necessary  eare 
of  the  patients'  teeth. 

THE  CBIIUMAL  AND  DSPICTIVB  IKSAVIi. 

The  last  legialature  did  a  commendable  act  ta  the  creation  of  the  de> 
partment  for  the  care  of  the  criminal  and  dangeroua  insane  in  aonnection 
with  the  State  Penitentiary  at  Lansing. 

^nce  its  establishment  we  have,  upon  order  of  the  Board  of  Control,  as 
provided,  transferred  five  strongly  homicidal  men  to  the  criminal  asylum. 
Some  of  those  caMa  have  long  been  a  menace  to  our  hospital,  one  of  them 
having  fatally  assaulted  a  trusted  and  faithful  attendant. 

The  continued  breeding  of  the  unfit,  who  are  becoming  an  ever-increasing 
burden  to  society,  is  enlisting  the  earnest  attention  of  soeiologieta  through- 
out the  land.  Society  surely  has  a  valid  right  to  protect  itself  against  the 
dangers  and  public  expense  that  is  involved  in  the  propagation  of  the  de- 
fective classes. 

Several  states,  including  our  own,  have  enacted  laws  restricting  the 
marriage  of  defectives.  Other  states  have  legalized  the  sterilization  of 
eertain  types  of  the  unflt.  I  believe  that  no  proposed  legislation  is  of 
greater  importance  than  these  laws  that  are  intended  to  curtail  the  increase 
of  these  undesirable  elements  of  our  population.  Could  the  innumerable 
examples  of  defective  propagation  be  forced  upon  the  attention  of  our 
l<Crislature  as  they  are  brought  to  those  who  engage  in  the  care  of  these 
unfortunates,  I  am  sure  there  would  be  little  delay  in  making  laws  that 
would  tend  to  relieve  these  unwholesome  social  influences. 

It  appears  that  these  laws  have  been  rather  disappointing  where  they 
have  been  in  operation,  chiefly  on  account  of  nonenforeement.  The  very 
important  law  of  Kansas  prohibiting  the  marriage  of  certain  types  of  the 
nnflt  is  sadly  n^leeted.    Paroled  inmates  of  the  insane  hospitals  and  ab-

Motees  from  the  HoBpital  for  Epileptics  have  been  licensed  to  mHiry  while 
away  from  the  institutions  on  leave.  Our  state  should  reinforce  the  mar- 
riage-restriction law  by  enacting  the  Indians  and  lows  sterilization  law, 
and  provide  for  stricter  enforcement  of  both  laws.  A  reasonable  penalty 
for  nonenforcement  of  the  lawB  shoold  be  provided.  A  law  without  a  pen- 
alty clause  is  of  no  practical  benefit. 

EHPLOYHBNT  AND  BNTBRTAINUBNT. 

Throughout  the  two  years  we  have  been  able  to  supply  oar  male  patients 
with  a  large  amount  of  congenial  employmenL  Tlie  usual  request  of  our 
patients  is  to  be  allowed  to  go  out  with  the  working  parties  and  an  oppor- 
tunity to  engage  in  Bome  useful  exerciie.  We  find  no  remedial  agent  that 
affords  more  positive  results  in  restoring  the  mental  balance  of  our  cases. 
Unfortunately,  we  find  greater  diflleulty  in  providing  suitable  occupation 
for  our  female  inmates.  This  can  best  be  provided  by  establishing  a  crafts 
and  arts  department,  under  the  direction  of  a  competent  instructor.  It  is 
a  well-established  fact  that  much  can  be  done  in  stimulating  recovery  in 
curable  cases  through  useful  occupation.  Another  beneficial  result  of  emr 
ployment  is  reeducation  of  the  chronic  insane,  and  it  is  also  important  in 
arresting  the  pn^reesive  mental  deterioration  of  the  incnrable  types  of  in- 
•anity. 

We  have  provided  in  a  fairly  liberal  way  social  entertainment  for  our 
population.  The  patients'  dances,  moving-picture  entertainments  and  oc- 
casional amusements  of  various  kinds  have  been  furnished.  The  holidayn 
have  been  observed  with  appropriate  exercises  and  gastronomic  attractions.

Concluding  this  report,  1  desire  to  express  my  appreciation  of  continued 
efficient  service  of  the  many  reliable  employees  who  have  remained  in  tbe 
service.  These  persons  are  the  foundation  of  the  hospital's  success;  upwi 
them  the  weight  of  responsibility  presses  with  increasing  force,  yet  they 
are  always  faithful  and  trustworthy, 

I  also  take  pleasure  in  scknowledging  my  obligation  to  you  gentlemen  of 
the  Board  of  Control  for  many  favors  extended.  The  continued  pleasant 
relations  between  the  Board  and  the  hospital  has  been  an  important  factor 
in  relieving  unpleasant  features  of  administration  and  stimulating  interest 
in  the  service  rendered.    I  thank  you. 

Respectfully  submitted.

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


To  the  Board  o/Contcfil  of  State  CharUabU  ItutituHotu: 

GEMTi'Eif  EN— I  have  the  honor  of  preaenting  to  you  the  eighteenth  biec- 
nial  report  of  the  Oeawatomie  State  Hospital,  same  being  the  fourth  i«- 
port  to  the  Board  of  Control,  and  covering  the  biennium ending  JuneSO,  1S12, 

POPULATION. 

On  July  1,  1910,  there  were  in  this  hospital  674  male  patients  and  619 
female  patients,  a  total  of  1293.  During  the  biennium  there  were  admitted 
267  male  patients  and  198  female  patients,  total  466,  making  the  total  num- 
ber under  treatment  during  the  biennium  1758. 

REUOVAUI. 

During  the  same  period  the  number  of  deaths  were :  Hales,  136 ;  females, 
71;  total,  SOS.  Discfaaived  restored:  Hales,  80;  females,  76;  toU),  IH. 
Discharged  improved:  Males,  17;  females,  20;  total,  37.  Diacharged  un- 
improved :  Hales,  1 ;  females,  1 ;  total,  2.  Grand  total  number  discharged, 
4-11. 

Ferment  of  restorations  based  on  admissions :  Hales,  SO;  females,  88; 
average,  34. 

We  have  been  fortunate  in  that  we  have  had  noserious  epidemic  of  sick- 
ness during  the  biennium. 

The  present  overcrowded  condition  at  this  hospital  makes  it  impossible 
to  classify  our  patients  to  the  best  advantage.  The  new  psychopathic  hos- 
pital at  Topeka  will  afford  some  relief  from  evercrowding  for  a  short  time. 
Later  the  new  cottage  for  women  at  Topeka  will  afford  temporary  relief 
again.  Then  within  the  year  the  new  nurses'  home  at  Osawatomie  will 
enable  us  to  vacate  room  for  about  forty  more  patients.  This  will  give  our 
hospital  a  capacity  of  about  1,400.  The  indications  are  that  before  the 
new  hospital  at  Lamed  can  accommodate  patients  our  hospitals  at  Topeka 
and  Osawatomie  will  be  compelled  to  refuse  patients  for  want  of  room. 
From  year  to  year  we  repeat  the  statement  that  the  state  should  make 
ample  provision  for  all  its  insane.  It  is  a  fact  of  common  knowlet^e  that 
the  counties  can  not  give  the  beat  care  for  the  insane,  because  of  the  fact 
that  they  do  not  have  proper  facilities  for  care  and  treatmrat. 

1NCRBA8E  OP  DEFECTIVES.' 

Defective  dependents  are  increasing  out  of  proportion  to  the  increase  in 
the  general  population.  This  fact  claims  the  careful  attention  of  all  good 
citizens.  Not  mUch  progress  will  be  made  in  lesaenlng  this  threatening 
calamity  until  the  people  awake  to  the  fact  that  marriage  of  the  unfit 
should  be  carefully  reairicted. 

The  recent  action  of  our  State  University  authorities  in  calling  together 
a  large  number  of  representative  men  from  all  over  the  state  to  discuss 
these  matters  was  a  step  in  the  right  directiin  and  should  rtsult  in  much

good.  Ab  Ionic  aa  people  are  allowed  to  noarry  without  any  regard  to  th« 
!tiwa  of  heredity  we  need  not  expect  anything  elae  but  a  rapid  increase  in 
the  per  cent  of  increase  of  the  insane. 

DRUQ  AND  UttUOR  ADDICTIONS. 

We  Btill  maintain  that  these  unfortunates  should  not  be  cared  for  in  the 
state  hospitals  for  the  insane.  Special  proTisioa  should  be  made  for  them. 
They  should  be  put  to  work  and  their  families  should  receive  their  wagev- 
Succeeding  offenses  should  call  Tor  longer  periods  of  confinement. 

PAROLED  PATIENTS. 

Added  experience  has  taught  us  that  in  moat  cases  patients  leaving  the 
hospital  should  be  paroled  and  given  a  chance  to  make  good  at  home  before 
being  finally  discharged.  The  reasons  are  obvious.  The  patient  returning 
home  from  a  state  hospital  does  not  have  a  fair  show.  His  actions  are 
watched  closely,  and'  conduct  that  otherwise  would  not  be  noticed  is  now 
thought  to  be  the  result  of  an  unsound  mind  and  neighbors  can  hardly  be 
criticised  for  being  apprehensive.  So  firm  are  our  convictions  on  this  mat- 
ter that  we  dicharge  very  few  persons  without  first  giving  them  a  trial  at 
home.  A  few  exceptional  cases  may  he  safely  discharged  at  the  time  of 
leaving  the  hospital.  For  example,  a  person  recovering  from  the  first 
attack  of  insanity  and  having  a  good  heredity. 

LABORATORY  WORK. 

We  do  a  considerable  amount  of  laboratory  work,  such  as  microscopic 
examination  for  parasitic  diseases,  urinalysis,  blood  count,  etc. 

SUROEHY  AND  QYNBCOLOOY.

NURSES'  TRAINING  SCHOOL. 

The  following  persons  graduated  from  our  Nurses '(Training  School  June 
29,  1911t   Ella  Gertrude  Shea.  Cleda  Hay  Pace,  Florence  Antoinette  Renfro. 

The  graduating  class  of  Uay  2\  1912,  consists  of  Jennette  Price,  Eliza- 
beth Uhls,  Naomi  M.  Woodruof,  Marguerite  C.  Benson,  Hargret  Anna 
Webster,  Louie  Hariam  Thompson,  Phronie  Alice  Sheldon,  Satherine  Fi- 
delia Windisch.         , 

No  institution  of  this  character  is  complete  without  a  training  school  for 
nurses.  We  find  that  service  is  improved  and  well  worth  the  additional 
wages  we  pay  graduate  nurses.  Seventy-nine  nurses  have  received  diplo- 
mas after  a  full  two  years'  course  here.

FEHALE  NURSES  ON  UALE  WARDS. 

W«  continue  the  practice  of  placing  female  nunes  on  male  wards  when 
conditions  appear  to  ns  to  malie  it  deairablt, 

SALARIES  AND  WAGES 

So  far  u  my  informatioD  goeg,  Kanaaa  continue!  to  pay  the  lowest  sal- 
aries  paid  in  the  United  States  for  official  service  in  state  hospitals,  la 
most  cases  the  wages  of  employees  are  too  low.  Especially  is  it  true  aa 
relates  to  the  heads  of  departments.  Itaeemsto  be  more  difficult  than 
formerly  to  find  young  men  who  will  remain  long  in  ttie  aervice  without  a 
chance  of  increase  in  wages,  and  it  is  not  aurpriaing  that  euch  ie  the  case. 

AUUSElfENTS. 

At  best  the  life  of  an  inmate  is  quite  monotonous.  We  have  found  that 
our  efforts  to  relieve  this  condition  have  been  successful  so  far  aa  we  h^va 
gone.  Only  those  acquainted  with  the  facts  can  understand  howthe insane 
appreciate  the  different  forms  of  diversion  and  amust'ment.  Our  facilitiea 
^Umg  thia  line  should  be  increased.  Uany  of  our  people  spend  much  time 
brooding  over  their  troubles,  real  or  imaginary,  and  any  form  of  innocent 
amusement  that  will  claim  their  attention  and  interest  is  wortk  while.  Our 
moving-picture  machine  haa  proved  to  be  a  great  source  of  satisfaction  and 
beneRt  to  our  people.  They  tire  of  almoat'all  forms  of  amusement,  more 
or  less,  but  the  moving  picture  entertainments  aa  yet  show  no  sign  of  be- 
coming monotonous.  Many  of  our  patients  ahow  great  interest  in  our  base- 
ball games.  During  the  winter  we  have  one  dance  and  one  picture  show 
each  week.  At  present  we  are  continuing  the  picture  shows,  one  a  week, 
and  are  contemplating  adding  another. 

EMPLOYMENT  FOR  THE  INSANE. 

Perhaps  no  one  thing  is  more  important  in  the  care  and  treatment  of  the 
inaane  than  useful  employment.  We  try  to  keep  our  people  busy  helping 
with  the  ordinary  ward  work  and  other  work  in  the  kitchens,  dining  rooms, 
bake  shop,  sewing  room,  laundry,  shops,  etc.  Also,  wjp  are  able  to  employ 
a  good  many  men  on  the  farm  and  garden,  as  well  aa'with  the  dairymam 
In  fact,  we  try  to  find  some  work  for  all  who  are  able  and  willing.  But  we 
are  convinced  that  it  would  be  a  good  plan  to  make  special  effort  along 
thia  line.  We  think  we  could  operate  succesafully  a  canning  factory,  a 
mattreas  factory,  and  a  broom  factory.  One  or  all  of  these  would  be  prac- 
ticable aa  a  means  of  keeping  patients  busy,  and  also  be  measures  of 
economy.  Hany  patients  have  made  remarkable  progress  toward  recovery 
whose  progress  dated  from  the  time  they  became  interested  in  some  kind 
of  work,  and  we  believe  not  a  few  have  recovered  who  would  probably 
never  have  done  ao  without  the  good  effect  of  work. 

TUBERCULOSIS 

The  insane  are  peculiarly  susceptible  to  tuberculosis.  No  insane  hos- 
pital is  complete  without  facilities  for  segregating  this  class  of  patients. 
I  refer  to  this  matter  under  the  head  of  "  Improvements  During  thia 
Bienniam. " 

PATIENTS'  LIBRARY. 

Oneof  the  things  we  have  neglected  is  our  patienta'  library.  The  un- 
avoidable increase  in  the  cost  of  maintenance  has  caused  us  to  buy  very 
few  books  for  onr  library  during  thia  biennium.    We  had  about  GOO  volumes 


ly  Google 


68  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control 

at  the  b^inning  of  the  period  covered  by  this  report  We  have  added  bat 
few  boohs ;  manf  volumes  «re  badly  worn  and  should  be  replaced  wiUi  new 
books.  The  library  is  a  soarce  of  great  pleasure  and  some  profit  to  oor 
people,  and  should  not  be  n^lected. 

CHAPBL  SERVICES. 

The  pnston  af  tbe  Protestant  churches  in  OsBwatomie  alternate  in  hoM- 
ini;  preachinB'  services  in  our  chapel  each  Sunday  at  two  P.  H.  Many  of  the 
patients  enjoy  these  services.  From  four  to  five  hundred  attend.  We  have 
Catholic  services  when  requested.  Our  Christian  Endeavor  Society  holds 
regular  meetings,  on  Monday  evenings,  for  oflicerB  and  employees.  These 
meetings  are  well  attended,  interest  ng,  and  help  to  break  the  monotony  of 
institution  life. 

LEGAL  HOLIDAYS. 

Only  comparatively  few  of  our  employees  can  get  away  at  one  time,  and 
it  is' our  custom  lo  give  some  one  holiday  and  some  another.  Usually  every 
one  gets  as  much  as  one  of  the  legal  holidays.  Employees  living  far  from 
the  hospital  may  have  the  day  before  and  the  day  after  to  go  and  come,  but 
they  do  not  get  pay  for  these  two  days.  We  give  special  dinners  to  all  on 
Thanksgiving  and  Christmas,  and  give  a  Christmas  treat,  seeing  that  every 
pitient  gets  something.  Friends  and  relatives  of  our  patients  sent  pres' 
ents  last  Christmas  to  tbe  amount  of  about  fifteen  hundred  dollars. 

IMPROVEMENTS  DURING  THE  BIENNIUM, 

Aew  Boiltn. 

Tataavin  old  b)ilerj  htve  bseo  replaced  by  live  Hawkes  boilers  of  250 
horsepower  each.  A  new  tile  and  reinforced  concrete  smokestack  was 
erected  during  the  last  year.  The  total  cost  of  boilers  and  stack  was  about 
^,000,  and  it  was  money  well  spent,  as  the  old  boilers  were  worn  out  and 
theoklataek  too  small.  We  now  have  an  efficient  heating  and  power  plant. 
Rtfrigtration. 

Individual  refrigerators  have  been  installed  during  this  biennium  in  the 
Koapp,  the  Adair  aqd  the  Infirmary  buildings,  and  are  giving  good  service. 
This  is  a  great  improvement  over  the  old  way  of  trying  to  furnish  all  re- 
frigeration from  one  central  plant.  The  cost  of  installing  these  three  small 
refrigerators  was  about  $2000. 

Water  Systtm. 

We  now  have  a  good  water  system,  and  not  much  is  needed  to  improve 
this  except  additional  filters  and  cementing  the  reservoir.  Our  water 
supply  comes  from  the  Marais  dea  Cygnes  river ;  it  is  muddy  much  of  the 
time  and  our  present  filter  is  inadequate.  The  continual  leaking  from  our 
reservoir  causes  us  to  have  to  pump  much  water  that  geta  away  from  us. 
This  is  quite  a  loss. 

Form,  Gurdan  and  Orchard. 

During  the  first  year  of  this  biennium  farm  crops  were  good  exc^t  on 
eur  bottom  lands  that  were  fiooded.  The  garden  was  productive.  Peaches, 
cherries  and  grapes  were  a  good  crop.  We  raised  all  the  hay  we  netded. 
Apples  were  about  a  half  crop. 

During  the  last  year  most  crops  were  poor  on  account  of  the  severe 
drouth.    This  was  the  first  year  in  the  Isst  fifteen  that  our  bottom  lands 


ly  Google 


Osawatomie  State  Hospital.  69 

were  not  under  water  from  one  to  five  timea.  The  com  in  the  bottoms  waa 
good,  but  the  garden  wae  not  good.  Potatoes  were  a  failure,  and  pasture 
was  BO  poor  we  were  compelled  to  pasture  practically  all  our  meadow  land, 
conaequently  had  to  buy  hay.  We  bad  no  peacbea  and  only  about  half  a 
crop  of  other  fruits.  The  drouth  and  tbe  advance  in  the  cost  of  meats, 
canned  goods,  etc.,  will  account  for  a  somewhat  higher  per  capita  cost. 
Dairy  Herd. 

Our  herd  is  doing  well.  We  now  have  about  180  cows  and  heifers.  Our 
plan  is  to  cut  out  undesirable  old  cows  and  replace  them  with  young  cowa 
until  we  have  100  milk  cows,  and  then  keep  about  that  number.  We  keep 
only  registered  males,  and  are  gradually  grading  up.  We  now  have  about 
twenty-five  registered  cattle,  and  within  a  few  years  the  herd  should  cm- 
sist  entirely  of  registered  stock. 

Hogt. 

We  have  been  unforlunate  in  that  our  hogs  have  died  from  cholera  or 
swine  plague  until  we  got  rid  of  all  our  hogs.  Many  of  them  died,  and  we 
thought  beat  to  sell  off  all  that  remained  and  start  in  with  entirely  new 
stock.  This  we  did  on  a  small  scale,  and  our  hogs  now  seem  healthy.  W« 
only  have  about  fifty  old  and  young. 

Siio. 

Last  year  we  built  a  concrete  silo  according  to  plans  furnished  us  by  the 
State  Agricultural  College.  Prof.  Geo.  S.  Bines  came  from  the  college  and 
showed  us  how  to  make  the  forma  and  start  the  construction  of  the  silo. 
We  built  it  with  our  own  labor  at  a  cost  of  about  $200.  The  silo  is  sixteen 
feet  in  diameter  inside  and  thirty-six  feet  high.  The  wall  is  six  inches 
thick,  well  reinforcod.  Its  capacity  is  about  160  tons.  We  filled  it  with 
field  com,  using  a  Bell  City  cutter.  The  silage  kept  perfectly,  and  we  find 
this  the  best  feed  for  our  cattle  we  have  ever  tried.  Our  cattle  came  through 
the  winter  in  better  condition  than  ever  before.  We  will  build  anotlier  silo 
this  year,  and  expect  to  start  in  the  winter  with  about  300  tons  of  the  beat 
cattle  feed  known. 

Fire  Proteetum. 

We  have  taken  out  all  old  fire  hose,  replacing  it  with  new  and  installed 
other  hose,  until  we  can  now  reach  any  part  of  every  building  with  water 
from  stationary  fire  hose.  This,  U^ether  with  our  hose  cart  and  extension 
ladders,  gives  us  first-class  fire  protection.  Improvements  in  this  depart- 
ment during  this  bienninm  cost  about  $1S00. 
OvererovxHng. 

This  institution  now  contains  about  1360  beds,  which  is  at  the  very  least 
Bf^  more  than  we  should  have,  it  is  impossible  to  properly  claasify  our 
inmstes  in  our  present  crowded  condition.  We  have  rooms  containing  five 
beds  where  there  should  be  only  three,  and  many  rooms  have  two  beds  where 
there  shanM  be  bat  one.  Oar  capacity  at  present  should  be  only  1300.  Then 
when  we  get  our  nurMs'  home  and  our  psychopathic  hospital,  that  would 
add  about  200  beds,  making  IBOO.  Then  this  hospital  would  be  large  enough, 
and  no  more  room  should  be  provided  here  for  patients.  The  building  of  a 
new  hospital  should  not  prevrat  this  boapitaJ  from  baving  proper  facilitiea 
for  affoidiiq;  the  beat  care  and  treatment  of  ita  inmates.

70  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  ControL 

Tubereuloaie  Pavilions. 
During  the  biennium  we  have  erected  two  tuberculosis  cottages,  one  for 
women  and  one  for  men,  each  havinf;  twenty-three  beds.  When  the  build- 
ings were  completed  we  had  a  number  of  bedfa&t  patients  suffering  from 
tuberculosis.  These  were  placed  in  these  cottages,  given  special  treatment 
and  care.  It  could  not  be  expected  that  these  patients  should  recover,  and 
moat  o^them  died.  Our  plan  now  is  to  place  patients  in  these  cottages  as 
soon  as  the  test  reveals  tubercuiosia.  The  result  is  that  most  of  the  patienta 
soon  begin  to  improve  and  put  on  Reah,  and  meuy  have  been  eent  back  to 
the  wards  and  new  patients  who  have  responded  to  the  test  have  taken 
their  places  in  the  pavilione.  1  he  buildings  are  arranged  with  special  ref- 
erence to  this  class  of  patients,  and  the  result  is  quite  an  improvement  over 
the  old  method  of  caring  for  these  cases  on  the  wards.  During  the  last 
year  of  the  biennium  fourteen  of  the  patients  taken  to  the  tuberculosis  pa- 
vilions have  apparently  fully  recovered  and  have  been  placed  back  on  the 
warda.  So  far  none  of  these  have  suffered  a  relapae.  Our  tuherculoBis 
psviliotM  arc  the  best  we  have  seen.

OFFICIAL  8TAPP. 

Only  two  changes  have  occurred  in  our  official  staff.  Dr.  P.  H.  Red- 
mond, resigned  to  enter  private  practice.  Dr.  J.  N.  Hill  wea  advanced  to 
bis  place.  Dr.  H,  L.  Gobs,  of  Topeka,  was  appointed  to  take  the  place 
vacated  by  Doctor  Hill. 

Our  old  clerk,  I.  E  Page,  of  Pratt,  Kan.,  after  many  years  of  faithful 
'Service,  resigned  on  account  of  poor  health,  and  Hiss  Lena  Martin  of 
Eurrica,  Kan.,  was  appointed  clerk. 

The  petty  jealousies  and  consequent  unpleasantness  that  so  freqnoitly 
creep  into  institution  life  have  not  been  of  enough  importance  to  be  worth 
mentioning. 

I  deaire  at  this  time  to  thank  ofBcers  and  employees  for  good  service  and 
the  Board  of  Control  for  courtesies  extended. 
Respectfully, 

L.  L.  Uhls,  H.  D.,  SuperintendnU.

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


To  the  Board  of  Control  of  State  Charitahlt  Inatilutiona: 

Gbntlbhrn— I  pubmit  herewith  the  fifth  bienaiiti  report  of  the  State 
Hospital  for  Epileptics  for  the  period  ending  June  30,  1912.  The  period 
covered  by  this  report  has  not  been  one  of  active  Krowth  in  the  institution, 
no  buildings  having  been  completed  during  this  time,  the  only  cottage  pro- 
vided for  by  the  last  legislature  being  now  under  construction.  A  number 
of  leaser  improvements  have  been  made,  as  noted  in  detail  below  under  the 
headings  of  "Repairs"  and  "Expenditures."  The  cottages  and  other 
property  belonging  to  the  plant  have  been  kept  in  a  good  state  of  repair 
and  the  lawns  improved;  more  shade  is  now  provided  by  the  growing  trees, 
and  the  general  appearance  of  the  institution  is  more  attractive.  Some 
minor  changes  in  the  internal  management  tending  to  a  betterment  of  the 
services  and  adding  to  the  comfort  of  the  patients  have  been  made,  but 
there  has  been  no  marked  deviation  from  the  methods  heretofore  pursued 
in  the  conduct  of  the  hospital.  With  the  opening  of  the  cottage  for  boys, 
probably  -about  October  1,  a  better  classification  can  be  provided  for  in  both 
male  and  female  departments.  The  boys  and  younger  male  patients  will 
be  separated  more  completely  from  the  older  men,  which  will  be  an  im- 
provement over  present  i;onditions.  This  change  will  give  another  cottage 
in  the  women's  group,  which  will  relieve  the  crowded  condition  in  No.  1 
Bouth.  By  converting  cottsge  Mo.  2  of  the  women's  group  into  a  closed 
building,  corresponding  somewhat  to  No.  8  north,  the  custodial  women  pa- 
tients of  better  mental  condition  can  be  separated  from  the  demented  and 
more  disturbed  types.  Any  change  which  provides  for  a  more  thorough 
classification  of  patients  in  accordance  with  their  mental  condition  is  a  dis* 
tinct  advantage  in  any  state  institution.  On  account  of  the  irritable  and 
querulous  nature  of  moat  epileptics,  classification  is  of  special  importance 
in  a  colony  for  their  care.  When  the  building  now  under  construction  is 
completed  the  hospital  will  have  twelve  cottages  occupied  by  patients,  five 
in  the  women's  group  and  seven  in  the  men's.  In  addition  to  these  cot- 
tagea  there  ore  on  the  grounds  seven  other  substantial  buildings,  and  a 
number  of  sheds  and  outhouses  about  the  barnyard. 

HOVSHBHT  OF  POPULATION. 

During  the  biennium  181  patients  were  admitted.  Of  these  102  were 
classed  as  sane  and  received  on  voluntary  commitment,  and  79  were  con.- 
mitted  by  the  courts  as  insane.  For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  this  in- 
stitution the  number  of  voluntary  admissions  is  in  excess  of  the  court 
commitments,  the  percentage  of  the  two  classes  being  S6  to  44  regpectively. 
This  would  indicate  that  a  better  type  of  patients  are  seeking  admiasion, 
an  inference  that  is  bourne  out  by  the  statistical  tables  presented  else- 
where. The  admissions  have  contained  a  lai^er  number  of  comparatively 
acute  cues,  eight  patients  received  having  been  epileptic  less  than  one

irekr.  and  in  eiKhteen  the  diBeaae  was  of  ]«hs  than  two  ystra  durattOD. 
There  has  also  been  received  a  latf^er  number  of  young  patients  than  here- 
tofore.  I  am  very  pleased  to  be  able  to  report  this  favorable  change  in  the 
type  of  admissions,  as  it  showa  that  the  institution  ia  gaining  theponfidence- 
of  the  public,  and  that  at  least  some  of  the  people  are  aroused  to  a  knowU 
edge  of  the  necessity  of  early  and  systematic  treatment  of  this  diiesM,  and 
are  willing  to  seek  hospital  care  while  there  is  yet  some  chance  for  relief. 
The  majority  of  the  patients  received,  however,  continue  to  be  of  the  chronic- 
and  hopeless  type.  During  the  two  years  covered  by  this  report  there  were 
admitted  an  unusual  number  of  old  people.  Of  those  admitted,  seventeen 
were  more  than  sixty  years  of  age,  four  were  between  seventy  and  eighty 
and  two  were  above  eighty  years  old.  Little  can  be  done  for  these  old  pa- 
tients except  to  give  them  custodial  care  for  iheir  few  remaining  years.  In 
contraat  to  what  was  noted  above  regarding  a  larger  number  of  compara- 
tively acute  cases  received,  table  No.  10  in  the  medical  statiatica  presents 
aome  points  of  interwteonceraing  the  duration  of  epilepay  of  the  admisaioof . 
During  this  biennial  period  tw6nty-tive  patients  nrere  received  who  had  been 
epileptic  more  than  thirty  years,  five  between  forty  and  Mty  years,  one  more 
than  fifty  years,  and  one  more  than  sixty  year*.  Of  the  admisaions  the  malea 
still  predominate  in  number,  the  ratio  of  male  to  female  patienta  being 
about  two  to  one.  I  know  of  no  explanation  of  this  other  than  that  given 
in  my  last  report,  viz.,  the  difference  in  the  temperament  and  tractability 
of  female  and  male  patients  of  the  milder  typea  and  the  greater  reluctance 
to  sending  female  patients  away  from  home.  A  larger  number  of  patient* 
were  removed  from  the  hospital  during  this  period  than  during  any  former 
biennium,  the  total  number  of  removals  being  170.  Of  those  removed  3  ware- 
discharged  as  restored,  2  restored  to  sanity  but  remsining  epileptic,  4  were 
found  to  be  not  epileptic,  31  were  improved,  44  unimpruved,  and  S6  died. 
The  number  remaining  on  the  bospiUl  register  June  SO,  1912,  waa  484.  The 
total  number  under  treatment  was  669,  and  the  daily  average  in  the  insti- 
tution for  the  period  waa  4£6.5.  Since  the  opening  of  the  haapitsl  1076  pa- 
patients  have  been  admitted. 

MEDICAL  NOTES. 

There  has  been  no  change  in  the  medical  staff  during  the  past  two  years, 
and  the  staff  meetings,  as  noted  in  my  last  report,  have  been  continued. 

The  general  health  of  the  patients  has  in  the  main  been  as  good  as  in 
former  years,  although  we  have  a  larger  percentage  of  deaths  t«  report- 
There  have  been  the  usual  numlwr  of  minor  accidents  resulting  from  epilep- 
tic attacka,  falls,  etc.,  but  no  fatalities  resulting  from  accidents.  There 
have  been  two  epidemics  of  measlea  among  the  employees  and  the  patients; 
a  few  cases  of  mumps  during  the  past  year;  and  a  rather  serious  but 
limited  epidemic  of  typhoid,  which  resulted  in  four  deaths.  A  fuller  report 
of  the  typhoid  epidemic  is  given  below,  A  short  time  after  making  my 
laat  report,  in  which  comment  was  made  on  the  rather  remarkable  frctdi  m- 
of  the  institution  from  tuberculosis,  a  number  of  patients  contracted  this 
disease,  and  during  the  year  ending  June  SO,  1911,  there  were  seven  deaths 
from  this  cause.  During  the  past  year  four  patienta  have  died  of  tubercu- 
losis, and  at  this  time  there  are  four  cases  of  tuberculosis  in  the  hospital, 
although  they  do  not  seem  to  be  progressii^  at  present,  none  of  those  af- 
flicted being  confined  to  bed.    In  my  last  report  attention  waa  called  to  two

pati«iita  who  hid  developed  pellagra  here,  and  at  present  two  sUBpected 
caaea  of  this  disease  are  under  observation. 

In  only  abont  one-half  of  the  cases  received  could  a  probable  cause  be 
ascertained  In  many  chronic  cases  of  long  duration  no  history  whatever 
of  the  early  stages  of  the  disease  could  ,be  obtained,  and  in  some  of  more 
recent  development  the  histories  furnished  were  so  very  meager  and  in- 
deSnite  aa  to  be  of  little  value.  Of  the  probable  causes  determined  hered- 
ity holds  first  pluce,  an  inherited  taint  being  known  to  be  present  in  about 
twenty  per  cent  of  the  admissions.  This  percentage  would  undoubtedly  be 
much  higher  if  the  real  facts  were  known  about  the  families  of  all  patient.". 
Next  in  frequency  as  a  cause,  as  shown  by  our  tables,  is  the  group  of  in- 
fantile cerebropalhies.  Here  also  we  And  the  percentage  increases  ss  our 
knowledge  of  the  first  epileptic  attacks  becomes  more  complete.  Injuries 
ftnd  diaeaaea  affecting  the  brain  in  infancy  and 'childhood  are  very  much 
more  important  factors  in  the  causation  of  epilepsy  than  they  are  usually 
considered  to  be,  and  I  am  convinced  that  a  careful  study  of  the  so-called 
idiopathic  epilepsies  would  show  that  in  many  instances  the  epilepsy  was 
secondary  to  some  infantile  cerebropathy. 

'  Epidemic  of  Tjphoid.^the  records  show  that  since  the  opening  of  the 
hospital  therje  haa  been  under  treatment  an  occasional  ease  of  typhoid.  In 
some  of  these  the  history  indicated  that  the  patienta  were  infected  before 
admission.  One  such  case  was  admitted  during  the  active  stage  of  the 
disease,  and  in  another  imitance  an  attendant  who  had  recently  nursed  a 
pr.vate  pati«nt  with  typhoid  became  ill  within  a  week  after  beginning  ser- 
vice here.  All  our  cases  previous  to  those  of  last  year  hsd  been  isolated 
ones,  and  our  water  supply  is  from  the  same  source  as  that  of  the  city  of 
Parsons,  where  typhoid  is  infrequent  There  was  one  case  of  the  disease 
in  the  institation  in  1909  and  one  in  September,  1910.  The  first  of  the  leriea 
of  cases  last  year  occured  in  March.  1911.  Following  this  there  were  two 
in  June,  one  in  July,  three  in  August  and  one  in  September.  All  the 
patients  attacked  were  in  cpttage  No.  1  south.  Since  all  the  cottages  have 
a  conVmon  water  supply  and  all  commisaariea  are  issued  from  the  general 
store,  it  was  evident  that  the  source  of  infection  was  somewhere  in  this 
cottage.  A  careful  investigation  failing  to  reveal  any  chance  of  contamina- 
tion about  the  building,  and  a  rigid  enforcement  of  the  usual  diainfectton 
and  preventive  measures  failing  to  check  the  spread  of  the  disease,  it  ap- 
peared probable  that  there  was  some  inmate  of  the  cottage  who  was  a 
typhoid  carrier.  It  was  therefore  thought  best  to  immunize  all  those  in  the 
building.  All  the  patients  except  a  few  infirm  and  old  people  and  f  everal 
who  were  known  ttf  have  had  the  disease,  and  all  the  nurses  in  cott^e  No. 
1,  a  total  of  115.'  were  given  the  initial  immunizing  dose  of  typhoid  bacterfn 
Ak^uat  24,  1911.  Tan  days  later  the  second  dose,  double  the  former  in  size, 
was  given,  and  this  was  repeated  in  ten  days  more.  One  patient  developed 
the  fever  shortly  after  having  started  the  immunizing  treatment,  having  no 
doubt  been  infected  before  the  bacterin  waa  given.  A  few  complained  of 
alight  headache  and  malaise  following  the  bacterin  injection,  but  in  no  cafe 
was  there  any  seriona  or  really  disagreeable  reaction.  There  was  no  further 
spread  of  the  disease,  the  hospital  having  remained  free  fiom  typhoid  since

SCHOOL. 

We  hsve  continued  to  operate  a  acfaool  for  the  youi^er  patient*,  although 
this  wiirk  has  been  carried  on  under  very  adverse  conditions.  The  only 
room  available  for  this  purpose  is  a  part  of  the  day  room  in  cottage  No.  2 
■outh,  which  has  been  partitioned  off  and  furnished  with  desks.  It  is  un- 
suited  for  school  use  and  quite  inconveniently  situated.  Thewil;  new  worit 
introduced  in  the  school  since  the  last  roport  has  been  wood  carving,  in 
which  a  class  of  the  larger  boys  has  been  much  interested.  The  enrollment 
for  the  term  1911  and  1912  was  thirly-four,  exclusive  of  the  class  in  farcy 
work  for  the  older  women  patients,  t  am  recommending,  under  the  appro- 
priations needed,  that  an  effort  be  made  to  secure  a  school  building  and  the 
necessary  equipment  to  carry  on  this  very  important  department. 

REOKEATION  AND  AHUSIHENTS. 

The  policy  of  allowing  a<f  much  personal  freedom  and  giving  as  many 
privileges  to  the  patients  as  is  consistent  wilh  a  well-regulated  iDetitntinn 
haa  been  continued  with  satisfactory  results.  All  those  whose  mental  con- 
dition will  justify  it  have  the  freedom  of  the  grounds,  and  most  of  the  pa- 
tients spend  much  of  the  time  out  of  doors.  The  usual  outdoor  sports  such 
as  baseball,  tennis,  quoit*,  etc.,  are  entered  into  wilh  pleasure  by  many, 
and  the  weekly  dance*  and  picture  shows  aSord  the  patients  much  enjoy- 
ment. Christmas  holidays  were  observed  in  an  appropriate  manner,  with 
special  treats  and  a  turkey  dinner  served  to  all.  On  Christmas  eve  an  en- 
tertainment was  given  by  the  school  children,  following  which  present*  were 
distributed  from  the  Christmaa  tree,  each  patient  being  remembered. 
Fourth  of  July  was  celebrated  by  contests  in  field  sports,  and  with  fireworks 
in  the  eyening  for  the  children.  Some  addition  to  the  library  has  been  made 
and  much  reading  matter  has  been  donated  by  friends  in  the  city.  Pianos 
have  been  placed  in  cottages  4  and  h  in  the  women's  group. 

FARH  AND  GARDEN. 

The  two  years  covered  by  this  report  have  been  rather  poor  crop  years, 
on  account  of  the  protracted  droivhta  which  occurred  each  summer.  In  spite 
of  the  fact  that  some  crops  both  on  the  farm  and  in  the  garden  were  abso- 
lute failures,  the  value  of  the  products  from  this  source  was  S1760.40  for 
the  year  1911  and  (6792.60  for  the  year  1912  Table  No.  U  of  the  financial 
atattstics  gives  an  itemized  siatement  of  the  produce  raised  and  the  value 
of  the  same.  If  to  the  figures  given  above  we  add  the  value  of  prcducts 
from  the  dairy  and  poultry  yard,  together  with  live  stock  sold,  we  have  Ibe 
sum  of  128,836.96,  representing  the  proceeds  from  all  these  industriiis  for 
the  biennial  period.  Hay  has  been  the  most  profitable  farm  product,  and 
for  the  past  two  years  we  have  planted  a  large  acreage  of  cow  peas.  This 
crop  has  proven  to  be  very  valuabl>>.  comparing  qnite  favorably  wilh  alfalfa 
on  upland  such  as  we  have.  During  the  past  year  a  small  acreage  of  sor- 
ghum was  planted,  and  the  experiment  of  making  syrup  was  tried.  It  was 
so  successful  that  we  have  planted  several  tim^B  as  much  thia  year,  and  ex- 
pect to  make  a  considerable  quantity  of  sorghum  molasses  this  aeason.

proved breeding  ha*  developed  into  a  hard  of  aeventy-two  head  of  high-grade 
and  full-blood  Holatein  cattle.  Hog  raising  has  continued  to  be  a  very 
profitable  industry.  Hoga  to  the  value  of  S24T8.d2  were  sold  during  the 
biennium.  We  had  the  misfortune  to  have  cholera  develop  in  the  herd  dur- 
ing the  pest  winter,  and  lost  about  (1600  worth  of  stock.  The  disease  was 
mostly  of  the  mibacute  or  chronic  form,  and  it  was  some  time  before  a 
definite  diagnoaia  was  made.  As  soon  as  this  point  wss  settled  serum  was 
obtained  from  the  State  Agricultural  Collie  and  the  entire  herd  vaccinated. 
A  number  of  those  sick  at  the  time  of  treatment  died  subsequently,  but  the 
diaeaae  was  checked,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  herd  remained  in 
the  infected  pens.  The  brood  sows  were  given  the  permanent  immunity 
treatment. 

ORDINARY  RBPAIR3. 

Daring  the  period  covered  by  this  report  there  has  been  expended92680.6T 
for  ordinary  repaira,  exclusive  of  pipe  and  fittinge,  which  under  the  new 
daaaification  are  carried  with  general  shop  supplies.  The  lai^est  item  in 
ordinary  repairs  is  painter's  supplies,  for  which  $997.08  has  been  spent. 
The  services  of  a  painter,  with  an  assistant  at  times,  are  required  constan  tly 
to  keep  the  Interiors  and  outside  wood  snd  metsl  work  properly  painted. 
For  lumber  $608.40  has  been  expended  and  $266.11  for  glass  in  the  ordinary 
upkeep  of  the  institution.  There  hss  been  an  unusual  amount  of  glass 
broken  during  the  last  year  on  sccount  of  high  winds  and  hail.  As  the  in- 
stitution grows  older  the  ordinary  repaira  naturally  increase,  and  for  the 
next  biennium  an  expenditure  of  $1EOO  or  $2000  per  annum  will  be  reqnired. 

EXTRAORDINARY  RBPAIRS  AND  IMPROVEMENTS. 

Daring  the  fiscal  yesr  1911  the  sum  of  $3666  67  was  required  on  account 
of  repairs  and  improvements  other  than  those  in  connection  with  ordinary 
upkeep.  The  largest  items  under  this  head  were  furniture  for  cottage  No. 
8,  S242.60;  screens  for  radiators  and  windows  for  ths  same  cottsge,  $306; 
grading.  $450.01,  and  a  team  of  mules,  $330.  For  the  flEcal  year  1912  the 
extraordinary  repairs  and  improvements  hsve  been  unusually  hesvy, 
amounting  to  $4259.74.  Of  this  sum  $377.72  was  expended  for  an  addition 
to  the  dairy  bam  and  for  sheds  to  shelter  the  growing  herd  of  live  stock. 
The  gas  lines  in  the  tunnel  and  to  the  administration  building  have  been 
replaced  by  larger  pipes,  in  order  to  secure  a  sufficient  volume  of  gas  on  a 
reduced  pressure,  as  now  required  by  the  gaa  company.  Material  for  theee 
changes  cost  $335.18.  Other  items  in  extraordinary  expenses  for  the  year 
were  drag-room  fixtures,  $210;  a  team  of  mules.  $425;  repairs  to  slate  roofs 
and  gutters  after  the  etorm  of  Hay  10,  1912,  $267.48,  and  repairs  to  water 
tower  and  tank,  $633.98.  The  repairs  to  the  tank  were  required  on  ac- 
count of  the  outlet  pipe  freezing  up  and  bursting  daring  the  extreme  cold 
'  weattier  of  the  past  winter. 

EXPENDITURES— SPECIAL  APPROPRIATIONS.

96  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control. 

An  extension  88  x  36  feet  wu  added  to  the  weat  wing  of  the  lAandi7.  This 
hu  enlarKed  the  wuh  room  and  provided  space  for  sortinir  and  hotuung 
soiled  clothing.  The  old  temporary  sorting;  room  has  been  torn  out.  These 
alterations  have  allowed  changes  to  be  made  in  the  position  of  some  of  the 
machinery,  whereby  the  work  can  be  carried  on  in  a  more  systematic  man- 
ner and  the  entire  plant  be  made  more  efficient.  The  old  roof  ventilatois, 
which  were  entirely  too  small,  have  been  replaced  by  larger  and  better 
constructed  ones,  which  add  much  to  the  comfort  of  those  working  in  the 
laundry.  Some  new  equipment  has  been  installed,  snd  there  has  been  a 
general  overhauling  of  the  old  machinery.  The  laundry  is  now  in  an  excel- 
lent state  of  repair.  Included  in  the  new  equipment  isadi^-room  tumbler, 
which  has  proven  to  be  a  very  satisfactory  machine.  It  naatsrislty  lessens 
the  work  of  the  mangle,  reduces  the  amount  of  band  work,  and  is  much 
superior  to  the  old  dry-room  method  in  laundering  blankets,  underwear  and 
woolenB. 

Screened  Parch  at  thn  Ciutodial  Cottage  for  AttH.~ka  approprialion  of 
{2600  was  allowed  for  a  porch  in  front  of  cottage  No.  8.  A  porch  12x40 
feet,  of  pressed  brick  and  stone  trimmings  to  match  the  building,  and  with 
«  c4ment  floor,  has  been  built  at  a  cost  of  $1482,26.  This  has  added  moth 
to  the  appearance  of  the  cottage  and  makes  it  very  much  more  comfortable. 
A  large  day  room  is  required  for  the  care  of  the  turbulent  class  of  men  in 
this  cottage,  and  the  screened  porch  with  a  southern  exposure  can  be  ntil- 
ized  practically  every  day  in  the  year  as  sn  additicmal  living-room  space,  as 
well  as  for  fresh  air  and  exercise. 

Alteratums  and  Improvements  in  the  Futti  No.  I  Cottagei.~The  sum  of 
440O0  was  appropriated  by  the  lost  legialatura  for  improvements  in  these 
two  cottages.  A  new  kitchen  has  been  added  to  each  of  the  buildings,  and 
the  cement  floors  in  the  rooms  formerly  used  aa  kitchens  and  in  the  halls 
leading  to  the  dining  rooms  have  been  taken  out  and  replaced  with  white 
tile.  The  sdditions  were  necessarily  rather  expensive  on  account  of  the 
Amount  of  Carthage  stone  required  to  make  the  new  walls  correaptmd  in 
appearance  with  the  walU  of  the  rest  of  the  building.  These  new  kitchens 
are  large,  airy,  comfortable  rooms,  and  are  much  more  aanitary  than  the 
old  ones  were.  The  rooms  formerly  used  ss  kitchens  are  utilized  for  serv- 
ing rooms. 

Cottage  Jitr  £oy«.— This  cottage,  for  which  an  appropriation  of  128,000 
was  allowed,  is  under  construction,  39101.91  of  this  fund  having  been 
expended  to  date.  The  plans  provide  for  a  two-atory  building  of  forty  beds 
cspacity.  The  design  includes  a  large  and  attractive  day  or  living  room,  a 
play  room  for  the  younger  children,  a  broad,  open  porch  in  front  and  a  two- 
story  screened  porch  in  the  rear.  The  second-floor  porch  is  so  arranged 
that  beds  can  be  conveniently  moved  to  it  from  the  dormitories,  thus 
-cmverting  it  into  sleeping  quarters  for  such  patients  as  need  open  air 
treatment.  A  feature  of  this  cottage  is  the  number  of  small  dormitories, 
there  being  several  of  three-  and  four-bed  capacity.  By  this  arrangement 
boys  of  the  same  type  mentally  can  be  placed  in  a  room  together,  thus 
preventing  much  disturbance  at  night.  This  will  be  a  decided  improvement 
over  present  conditions.  The  kitchen  and  dining  rooms  are  on  the  ground

11206.88.  Our  engineering  department  will  inatalt  the  beating  plant  and 
wire  the  building,  thereby  making  a  conaiderable  aaving,  as  we  were  able 
to  demonstrate  in  the  construction  of  the  custodial  cottage  for  men.  The 
cottage  will  be  finished  and  ready  to  be  occupied  early  in  the  fall.  It  will 
be  the  most  attractive  as  well  as  the  best  arranged  cottage  on  the  hospital 
grounds,  and  when  completed  will  have  cost  very  little  over  $500  per  bed 

Sekooi  Buildntg.—In  mylaat  report  I  recommended  that  an  appropriation 
of  $14,000  be  requetted  for  a  suitable  school  building  and  equipment.  For 
this  purpose  $4960  was  allowed.  Realizing  that  the  appropriation  wasmuch 
too  small  to  obtain  what  woe  needed  to  carry  on  the  school  work  in  a  satis- 
factory manner,  it  waa  planned  to  erect  a  building  to  which  an  addition  could 
be  made  subsequently.  A  small  building  of  huijly  sufiieient  size  to  meet 
our  present  actual  needs,  but  with  architectural  lines  that  would  harmonize 
with  other  surrounding  cottages,  was  designed  and  bids  for  the  same  so- 
licited. The  lowest  bid  was  nearly  $1000  above  the  appropriation,  and  even 
after  making  every  alteration  possible  in  the  plans  to  reduce  the  cost  with* 
out  entirely  destroying  the  usefntness  of  the  building,  it  was  impoasible  to 
get  a  bid  within  the  amount  of  funds  available.  It  wm  accordingly  decidt'd 
to  allow  the  appropriation  to  lapse.

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


To  th»  Board  of  Control  of  Ckarilable  Inttilutiont : 

Gbntlek  EN— Herewith  is  presented  the  sinteenth  bi«nni8l  report  of  the 
State  Home  for  Feeble-minded. 

One  year  ago  we  lost  by  Hre  our  Administration  building,  the  estimated 
value,  iDcluding  furnishin^B,  being  nearly  $100,000.  Many  records  were 
destroyed,  hence  our  statistical  tables  pertaining  to  patients  could  not  be 
completed  for  the  entire  period.  These  few  incomplete  reports  we  have 
herewith  appended. 

Doctor  Clark  resigned  ae  chief  executive  of  this  institution  September 
1,  19lt,  on  account  of  ill  health.  Returning  to  his  old  home  in  Labette 
county,  after  six  years  of  faithful  service,  he  never  regained  his  former 
vigor,  and  on  July  9.  191J.  died  after  a  ten  weeks'  illness,  lyphoid  fever 
being  the  immediate  cause  of  death.  Since  Doctor  Clark's  resignation  the 
executive  work  has  been  done  by  the  assistant  superintendent,  who  was  on 
that  date  appointed  acting  superintendent  by  the  Board. 

The  building  destroyed  housed  eighty  inmates,  and  to  accommodate 
these  children  with  quarters  necessitated  converting  a  lai^e  dining-room 
in  our  Reception  building  into  a  dormitory.  Many  were  furloughed  follow- 
ing the  fire,  and  have  not  been  returned  yet.  '  We  are  badly  overcrowded 
on  all  wards,  and  accommodating  many  more  children  than  the  rated  capaci- 
ties of  the  tiiree  remaining  buildings  warrant. 

Our  mortality  for  the  past  two  years  has  been  below  4  per  cent,  a  de- 
crease of  1  per  cent  betoff  that  of  previous  periods.  One  reason  for  this, 
we  believe,  has  been  the  policy  of  making  an  especial  effort  to  find  outdoor 
effiployment  for  our  custodial  class  of  children,  who  sre  below  par  physi- 
cally aa  well  as  mentally,  and  who  constitute  40  per  cent  of  our  population. 
These  boya  this  year  have  done  a  great  amount  of  work,  under  the  guidance 
of  capable  attendants,  and  have  accomplished  more  in  rosd  making,  orchard- 
ing, hay  making,  weed  pulling,  etc.,  than  has  ever  been  done  before. 

School  work  has  been  somewhat  hampered  for  want  of  room,  due  to  loss 
of  our  administration  building,  yet  we  have  produced  a'  higher  grade  of 
work  during  the  past  two  seasons  in  our  manualtrsining  department  than 
was  done  in  the  earlier  years  following  the  establishment  of  this  depart- 
ment. We  hope  to  make  a  very  creditable  display  at  the  State  Conference 
of  Charities  and  Correction  to  be  h%ld  this  coming  September. 

Kind'ergarten  work  continues  to  be  very  satisfactory,  and  the  many  little 
folks  in  this  branch  are  showing  evidence  of  some  advancement.  Six  class 
plays  were  given  entirely  by  inmate  children,  and  all  were  well  received  and 
enjoyed.  The  moving  pictures  continue  to  be  eagerly  looked  for  each  week, 
and  these  cinematograph  entertainments  have  entirely  displaced  the  chit' 
dren'i  dances  that  were  given  frequently  in  earlier  year* .p  We  frequently 
use  ontaide  talent,  and  vary  our  programs  aa  much  as  poasiblv.  For  two

112  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control 

8«aion8  the  Wiofield  Band,  th«  well-known  orewnizatioa  that  hM  ntMle  Kood 
tnuaic  for  twenty  years,  has  given  us  a  midwinter  concert.  This  service 
has  been  sratuitotu  and  highly  appreciated  hy  the  whole  ioatitution  family. 

Outdoor  life  strongly  appeals  to  all  of  us,  and  especially  bo  to  the  chil- 
dreo,  who  surely  chafe  at  the  monotony  of  a  closely  sopervised  guardianship, 
and  they  without  doubt  welcome  the  trees,  the  creek  and  the  playgrounds. 
Oar  policy  has  been  to  favor  this  life  as  much  as  possible,  and  monthly  pic- 
nics or  outings  are  established  rules,  with  a  good  dinner  and  cool  drinks  in 
the  woods.  The  boys,  in  care  of  their  attendants,  are  encouraged  to  go 
fishing;  the  girls  to  go  with  their  supervisors  to  the  park  or  on  strolla 
through  the  country.  A  volley-ball  court  has  been  recently  added,  and  onr 
baseball  team  of  inmate  boys  has  frequent  matched  games  with  near-by 
-country  teams  (percentage  not  given,  however).  We  feel  that  more  could 
and  ought  to  be  done  for  the  children  by  purchasing  and  furnishing  a  better 
playground  equipment. 

After  the  fire  in  July,  1911,  our  first  Usk  was  to  remove  the  debris  and 
eiLablish  water  and  heating  connections  with  other  buildings  and  the  power 
«tation.  This  was  accomplished  in  a  few  weeks'  time,  largely  by  inmate 
labor,  and  a  new  tunnel  with  stone  walls  and  cement  top,  with  piping  in- 
stalled, was  ready  by  fall.  Dirt  has  been  hauled  and  a  lawn  made  where 
the  old  building  stood,  nearly  effacing  the  scar  made  by  the  fire  demon.  A 
new  cement  and  iron  porch  has  been  placed  on  our  Annex,  also  a  fire  escape, 
giving  us  two  additional  exits  in  case  of  need.  Our  assembly  hall  occupies 
the  third  floor  of  this  building,  and  frequently  200  or  more  people  are  con- 
gregated there. 

New  sidewalks  have  been  constructed  around  the  west  buikiing,  and  a 
new  concrete  curb  and  gutter  has  taken  the  place  of  the  looaely  placed 
rocks  that  fringed  our  main  driveway.  This  road  has  also  been  widened, 
And  will  soon  be  nicely  graded  with  shale  and  gravel. 

A  general  overhauling  of  the  entire  farm  and  grounds  has  been  the 
order,  and  old  sheds  have  been  torn  down  and  replaced  by  newer  structures, 
■especially  about  the  engine  room  and  feed  lots.  New  fencing  has  been 
placed  and  new  lines  established. 

All  orchards  were  plowed  last  fall  and  the  fruit  trees  pruned  and 
aprayed.  Much  dead  stock  has  been  cut  out,  and  replacement  will  be  made 
this  winter.  A  plot  for  small  fruit  has  been  planted,  to  be  enlarged  at  the 
next  planting  season.  On  the  farm  new  crops  have  been  tried,  our  dairy 
herd  carefully  supervised,  and  all  unfit  dairy  stock  eliminated.  The  garden 
has  been  moved  near  our  creek,  and  a  survey  has  been  made  for  installa- 
tion of  piping  for  irrigation.  A  new  cement  silo,  16x32,  b  already  in 
process  of  construction. 

Our  location,  on  a  high,  rocky  hill,  fiever  permitted  us  to  keep  the  hill- 
sides clean,  and  to  accomplish  this  a  herd  of  fifty  Shropshire  sheep  was 
purchased.  These  animals  have  accomplished  the  purpose  remarkably  wdl, 
and  besides  making  our  lawns  beautiful,  both  by  their  presence  and  their 
ability  to  closely  crop  weeds  and  grass,  have  given  an  impetus  to  our  fee 
account  more  rapidly  than  could  possibly  be  accomplished  by  any  other 
stock.  Their  wool  and  lambs  have  returned  our  original  purchase  price 
within  six  months'  ownership. 

Within  doors,  plastering,  painting  and  the  purchase  of  new  furniture 
and  furoi^ings  has  helped  materially  in  keeping  close  to  our  standard  of

lp>od  fa<ni>«ke«piiiK.  F^re  extfi^ubhera  bmye  been  placed  on  all  wards,  and 
eztenaioD  of  water  pipei  to  all  attics  has  enabled  us  to  place  boM  and  reels 
in  tb«a«  unprotected  placee.  The  kitchen  cooking  ^>paratiu  has  be«n 
innproTed  b^  our  engineer,  thoroughly  eliminatiBg  the  eloads  of  steam  that 
were  formerly  so  objectionable.  An  addition  to  the  iee  plant  gives  nt 
much-needed  room  for  proper  operation  of  mechanical  features. 

The  outdoor  illumination  has  been  improved  by  addition  of  more  light 
polea  and  equipping  with  60-watt  tungstens,  with  street  hood  reflectors,  re- 
placing the  few  arc  lights  that  were  formerly  Uiied. 

Two  yearfl  ago  a  new  pump  with  gasoline  engine  was  installed  at  limber 
creek,  three-quarters  of  s  mile  distant,  with  a  two-inch  pipe  line,  to  act  as 
an  auxiliary  water-supply  station,  as  in  extreme  dry  weather  our  three 
welb  fail  to  furnish  sufficient  water  for  indnstrial  and  hoosehold  purposes. 
This  has  supplied  the  institution  until  the  present  time,  but  the  supply  is 
again  becoming  inadequate  on  account  of  a  growing  institution  with  in- 
creasing uses  for  water.  A  survey  made  during  the  winter  indicated  that 
an  18-inch  dam  would  conserve  all  the  water  necessary  for  future  needs  in 
case  of  extreme  drouth,  and  enable  us  to  put  in  a  six-inch  service  pipe  to 
replace  the  two-inch  pipe  now  in  use.  The  dam  will  be  constructed  this 
summer  and  an  appropriation  asked  for  to  enable  us  to  purchase  piping, 
machinery  and  wire  to  properly  Install  the  station.  For  drinking  and  cook- 
ing purpoees  we  maintain  a  small  independent  pumping  plant,  using  well 
water  entirely,  that  continues  to  give  good  service  and  furnish  pure  water, 
free  from  creek  contamination. 

Our  altitude  has  always  permitted  the  very  best  of  sanitation  in  regard 
to  the  disposal  of  sewage,  yet  we  are  expending  about  (7000  on  a  disposal 
{riant  that  Is  expected  to  be  a  model  of  its  kind.  The  contract  will  be  let 
in  August  and  its  completion  will  take  two  or  three  months.  We  hsve  re- 
c«>tly  fitted  our  Custodia  and  West  buildings  with  modem  plumbing  equip- 
ment to  replace  latrines  and  worn-out,  obsolete  fixtures  that  have  been  In 
service  for  many  years.  All  our  buildings  are  now  modern  in  this  regard 
and  approved  by  the  State  Sanitary  Board. 

Our  fuel  supply  during  the  extreme  winter  weather  has  always  been  a 
vital  qoestion,  especially  the  method  of  transporting  coal  from  our  siding, 
one-half  mile  distant,  up  an  ice-covered  road  of  steep  incline.  The  Santa 
Pe  railroad  haa  been  asked  to  make  a  survey  to  determine  the  feasibility  of 
laying  track  from  the  railroad  to  our  coal  sheds.  If  the  grade  will  permit, 
and  sach  a  spur  be  placed,  it  will  solve  the  fuel  question  and  its  present 
attandant  difficulties.

The  total  appropriation  asked  for  is  in  exceeii  of  that  of  previoua  years, 
but  Buffering  dieaater  by  fire  has  brought  us  to  the  necessity  of  seeking  rc- 
drerss  through  the  legislature,  who  are  representing  the  taxpayers  of  Kan- 
saa.  If  we  are  to  progress  and  be  classified  among  the  high-grade  institu- 
tions of  our  country  we  must  build,  improve  and  adopt  ideas  in  keeping 
with  the  progressive  spirit  of  our  time.  There  is  no  doubt  but  that  the 
percentage  of  defectiveness  is  slowly  increaaing,  and  until  such  a  time 
when  we  are  willing  to  accept  the  theory  and  put  it  into  practice  that  the 
production  of  delinquents  should  be  curtailed  rather  than  th^  increaaii^ 
tide  should  be  foet«red,  then  we  must  continue  to  create  more  .  room  and 
give  the  best  we  have  for  their  betterment. 

Kansas,  in  maintaining  nine  charitable  inatitutions,  where  the  various  types 
of  defectiveness  may  be  properly  classified  and  t^reated,  and  in  partially  sup- 
porting many  smaller  semicharitable  ones,  is  doing  a  grand,  noble  work  in 
the  uplift  of  her  social  and  business  life.  We  are  proud  to  live  in  such  a 
state,  and  many  of  us  who  are  devoting  our  time  and  talent  to  the  service 
are  proud  to  be  identified  with  such  a  movement. 

Respectfully  submitted  to  the  Board  of  Control,  whose  interests  are  cen- 
tered in  our  charitable  organizations,  and  who  are  vitally  concerned  In  the 
interest  of  patients,  employees  and  officers  of  the  Stat«  Home  for  Feeble-

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


To  the  Board  of  Control  of  StaU  CharittAle  ItutUutUma: 

GbnTlemkN'-I  have  the  honor  to  submit  my  third  biennial  report,  and 
the  thirteenth  sinea  the  foundation  of  the  institution  formerly  known  as  the 
Soldiere'  Orphans'  Home,  but  now  known  as  the  State  Orphan*'  Home. 

Much  that  has  been  said  in  fanner  reports  will  be  omitted  in  the  present. 
The  ecope  and  purpose  of  the  institution  remains  the  same,  viz. :  the  care 
of  the  state's  homeless,  dependent,  n^lected  children.  To  what  extent  it 
fulfills  its  mission  tjie  public  will  be  able,  or  ptirtially  so  at  least,  to  judge 
from  a  perusal  of  the  foUowinf;  pages  and  statistical  tables. 

During  the  past  two  years  the  Home  has  prospered  in  all  its  varioua 
lines  of  activity,  and  it  now  comes  nearer  being  a  leal  home  to  the  homeless 
than  at  any  former  time  in  its  existence.  I  would  not  want  to  be  under- 
stood as  believing  or  thinking  that  we  have  arrived  at  a  state  of  perfection, 
or  have  reached  a  point  where  we  could  not  improve  or  go  forward,  and  my 
intention  in  these  pages  is  to  point  out  where  further  improvements  may 
be  profitably  made. '  "       .  . 

SCHOOLS. 

The  schools  at  the  Home  for  the  pa»t  two  years  have  reached  and  main- 
tained a  high  standard  of  excellence.  Within  three  years  twtnty-ei|ihl  of 
oar  pupils  have  successfully  completed  IhestSte  course  of  study  for  common 
schools  and  have  received  their  diplomas  admitting  them  to  the  high  schools. 
Many  of  these  pupils  and  former  inmates  are  continuing  in  school  During 
the  past  year  five  of  them  were  pupils  of  tlie  Atchison  high  school,  all  of 
them  making  their  credits,  and  they  are  now  sophomores  in  that  very  «x- 
eellent  institution. 

Within  the  past  three  years  four  of  the  Home  boys,  through  the  kindners 
of  Hr.  A..  F.  Heck,  the  owner  and  manager  of  the  Atchison  Businees  Cul- 
lege,  have  been  enabled  to  take  and  complete  the  stenogrsphic  course  in 
that  institution,  and  are  now  self-supporting  as  a  result. 

We  are  not  satisfied,  however,  with  what  is  being  done  in  an  educational 
line,  and  our  work  wilt  not  be  complete  until  we  have  an  up-to-date  manual- 
training  snd  domestic -science  department.  While  it  may  seem  to  many  a 
fad  of  the  times,  it  is  generally  agreed  by  educators  that  the  value  and  im- 
portance of  manual  training  can  not  be  overestimated.  All  city  Bchoolsand 
the  moat  enterprising  and  up-to-date  of  the  country  schools  now  maintain  a 
regular  department  in  this  line,  and  it  is  growing  to  be  more  and  more  ap- 
preciated as  its  good  results  are  becoming  better  known  and  more  widely 
felt.  If  it  is  desirable  that  the  children  who  have  homes  and  parents  who 
are  able  to  provide  for  them  should  hsve  this  training,  is  it  not  also  desira- 
ble that  the  same  advantages  be  given 'the  wards  of  the  state,  who  must  be 
aelf-supportiog  at  the  earliest  possible  moment?  It  is  a  recognized  fact 
that  one  of  the  world's  greatest  needs  is  more  people  who  can  fill  positions

requiring  skill.  If  men  and  boys  who  are  found  in  the  bread  line  could  be 
taught  to  do  the  things  requirinfr  akilled  labor  they  would  become  a  neees- 
Bit7  to  society  instead  of  a  burden  to  it.  All  manufactured  articles  are 
high-priced  because  of  the  fewness  of  those  who  know  how  to  make  than. 
The  wages  of  even  a  trained  farm  hand  become  high-priced  In  proportion  to 
his  skill  in  farming,  and  it  is  so  with  everything  elae. 
"placing"  children. 

In  placing  out  children,  two  objects  are  to  be  considered— one  to  save 
the  state  the  espense  of  maintaining  them,  and  the  other  to  aave  the  child 
and  make  society  better.  The  last  consideration  ia  by  far  more  important. 
If  abandcHied  infanta  and  street  waifs  throogh  the^medium  of  good  homes 
can  be  converted  into  good  citizens,  the  whole  framework  of  society  will  be 
strengthened.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  dependent  chitdren  are  allowed  to  ma- 
ture in  immoral  atmospheres,  pauperism  and  crime  are  increased. 

It  is  therefore  of  the  utmost  importance  tiiat  the  work  of  the  state  agent 
should  not  be  carelessly  or  hurriedly  performed,  l>ecanBe  of  the  large  amount 
of  it  to  be  done,  or  to  save  the  state  expense.  It  should  be  performed  in 
the  most  careful  and  consd^ittous  manner.  For  every  child  placed  in  an 
immoral  or  unfit  home  the  public  stands  a  chance  later  on  of  being  bordeecd 
with  a  multitudinous  pauper  and  criminal  pn^eny  from  that  source. 

For  the  past  five  years  the  state  agent's  work  baa  been  done  by  otM 
person,  and  the  beat  of  results  have  been  obtained.  But  the  time  has  come 
when  one  person  can  no  longer  do  the  work  and  when  the  present  methodi 
of  handling  the  children  and  placing  them  in  homes  will  have  to  be  aban- 
doned. Our  average  attendance  is  cmistantly  on  tbe  inereaae,  and  baa  been 
for  quite  a  number  of  years.  For  the  year  ending  June  30, 1911,  it  was  195; 
for  the  year  ending  June  SO,  1912,  it  was  XOG,  and  most  of  the  year  our  ca- 
pacity was  taxed  to  its  utmost.  Formerly  the  people  wanting  children  came 
to  the  institution  for  them,  or  their  location  and  wants  were  made  known 
through  correspondence.  These  were  the  only  people  dealt  with,  and  in  the 
past  they  seemed  sufficient.  But  if  we  are  to  keep  the  number  down  to  our 
capacity  and  admit  those  needing  the  advantages  provided  by  the  Home,  we 
wilt  have  to  find  some  method  of  moving, them  faster. 

Up  to  within  a  few  yesrs  the  number  admitted  and  the  number  placed 
out  were  easily  kept  on  a  level,  but  at  the  present  time  the  prospect  s«en)s 
good  for  an  average  attendance  up  to  our  full  capacity,  and  it  is  quite  likely 
the  Board  of  Control  will  be  obliged  to  refuse  admission  on  account  of  lack 
of  room. 

The  "Home  Finders"  tell  us  there  is  a  home  waiting  for  every  desirable 
child.  If  this  is  so  we  should  increase  oar  home-finding  facilities  by  adopt- 
ing some  of  their  methods  and  depend  leca  upon  voluntary  aasiatance. 

Greater  publicity  should  be  given  to  the  work  carried  on  at  the  State 
Home,  and  an  efi^ort  should  be  made  to  get  in  touch  with  the  homes  wanting 
children,  and  if  possible  to  place  a  chikl  in  every  desirable  home.  There 
are  now  over  100  children  under  the  charge  of  the  agent  of  this  home.  Tbe 
number  ia  more  than  she  can  posaibly  supervise  or  visit  in  any  one  year, 
and  little  time  is  left  for  the  investigation  of  others  or  finding  homes  tor 
them.

IHPROVEUENTS. 

An  mppropmtjtm  was  asked  for  and  obtained  from  the  legislature  o( 
1911  for  the  renewing  of  aome  of  the  floors  of  the  main  building.  Of  this 
amount  $152,50  was  spent  in  renewing  the  floor  of  the  third-floor  dormitory. 
There  was  granted  us  £2600  for  the  renewal  of  all  the  plumbing  in  the 
main  building.  This  was  all  used.  These  two  improvements  have  con- 
tributed much  to  the  comfort  and  convenience  of  the  inmates  and  employees. 
The  new  plumbing,  being  entirely  modem,  has  contributed  greatly  to  the 
sanitary  condition  in  this  building. 

In  the  midstof  the  severe  drought  of  1912  our  water  supply  again  failed. 
On  examination  it  was  found  that  our  well,  lately  put  down  by  Lewis  £ 
Kitchen,  had  flUed  with  quicksand  and  was  really  little  better  than  a  heap 
of  rubbish.  In  order  to  save  this  well  it  was  necessary  to  spend  in  all  about 
11200  upon  it.  This  well  is  now  in  flne  condition,  and  we  believe  we  have  a 
penoanent  and  perfectly  wholesome  supply  of  the  best  water  in  this  vi- 
cinity in  quantities  sufficient  to  answer  all  our  present  needs. 

There  was  an  appropriation  of  $400  made  at  the  same  time  for  the  re- 
pair of  slate  roott,  etc.  On  September  10,  at  about  8:S0  a.  m.,  during  the 
prevalence  of  a  severe  thunder  storm,  lightning  struck  our  main  building, 
and  though  the  Are  was  promptly  extinguished,  the  roof  waa  left  in  a  dam- 
aged condition,  and  of  the  appropriation  above  mentioned  $347.76  was  ex- 
pended in  repairing  the  same,  leaving  a  balance  in  this  fund  of  $62.2^ 

RECOUUENDATIONS. 

Within  the  past  four  yean  the  average  daily  population  has  constantly 
been  on  the  increase.  June  80,  1908,  it  was  162,  while  on  June  80,  1912,  it 
was  809,  an  increase  of  S7  per  cent.  I  believe  we  may  reasonably  expect 
ao  average  of  226  during  the  coming  period  of  two  years. 

My  estimate  for  1911-'12  was  based  i^ton  an  average  population  of  200, 
at  an  average  cost  of  $208  per  head.  For  1913-'14,  we  must  make  pro- 
vision for  225  at  the  rate  above  mentioned.  This  will  call  for  an  annual  ex- 
penditure of  $4e,800.

CHANOB  IK  LAWS. 

As  the  law  is  at  the  present  time,  the  Board  of  Control  is  merely  the 
guardian  of  the  person  of  its  ward.  This  ought  to  be  changed,  and  the 
Board  of  Control  made  tbe  guardian  of  the  property  as  well  as  of  the  per- 
aon.  Ifanjr  of  tba  children  have  small  amoants  of  property  left  then  by

when  the;  re«ch  their  majority  they  And  th&t  what  little  they  had  hu  been 
used  up  and  expended  in  court  coats  and  guardian  feea. 

I  would  also  suggest  that  the  laws  included  under  chapter  80,  relating  to 
minors,  Revised  Statutes  of  1909,  relating  to  dependent  children,  be  so 
changed  that  all  the  provisions  of  this  article  and  of  each  and  every  section 
of  the  same,  not  now  applicable,  be  so  changed  as  to  be  applicable  to  the 
children  of  the  State  Orphans'  Home;  to  the  children  in  the  Home,  as  well 
as  those  out  on  indenture,  on  trial  or  otherwise.  The  interference  of  rela- 
tives of  the  children  should  not  be  tolerated,  and  these  statutes  should  be  so 
changed  as  to  protect  the  children  of  the  Home,  as  well  as  those  of  the 
home-finding  societies  and  other  private  institutionB  for  the  dire  of  children. 

ACKNO  WL  BDGU  ENTS. 

I  wish  again  to  acknowledge,  on  behalf  of  the  Home  and  management, 
our  most  sincere  and  hearty  thanks  for  the  kindly  interest  shown  us,  not 
alone  by  the  people  of  the  state  at  large,  but  I  am  under  special  obligation 
to  the  good  people  of  Atchison,  who  have  shown  their  interest  in  every 
way  possible  in  the  institution  and  in  the  children.  No  favor  ever  asked 
has  been  denied,  and  the  loyalty  of  the  people  of  this  vicinity  to  the  Home 
is  a  matter  of  profound  gratitude  on  the  part  of  the  managemuit. 

Thanks  are  also  due  to  our  corps  of  loyal  and  efficient  employees  and  to 
the  Board  of  Control  who  are  ever  watchful  of  our  intereata. 
Respectfully  submitted, 

Edward  C.  Wilus,  Superinteruknt, 


STATE  AGENT'S  REPORT. 
To  the  Board  of  Control: 

Another  two  years  have  come  and  gone  and  we  are  again  called  upon  to 
give  an  account  of  our  stewardship.  What  have  we  done?  Just  the  same 
as  the  two  years  before?  Well,  practically,  yes.  We  have  been  keeping 
on  in  about  the  same  tine  of  work.  We  have  visited  our  chiklren  in  Uieir 
homes,  and  many  of  them  in  their  schools,  and  find  that,  in  the  main,  they 
are  living  about  like  other  children  in  the  neighborhood.  We  have  extended 
a  helping  hand  wherever  we  could  to  assist  a  boy  or  girl  to  make  a  start, 
either  in  doing  for  himself  or  in  an  attempt  to  fit  himself  for  something 
better.  We  have  investigated  the  homes  ofi^ered  to  us,  and  according  to 
our  best  judgment  placed  the  children  in  the  ones  that  seemed  to  us  to  offer 
the  nearest  to  what  we  want  for  our  children. 

Am  I  too  particular  in  the  choice  of  these  homesT  Do  I  hope  for  too 
much?  I  have  no  wish  to  criticize  the  good  people  who  help  us  in  Uiis  great 
work  of  making  men  and  women  by  taking  one  of  these  children  into  their 
homes.  If  they  love  children  and  youtii  and  expect  to  find  their  recom- 
pense for  their  love  and  care  in  watching  the  child  develop  into  a  good 
useful  citizen,  or,  failing  in  this,  feel  that  they  have  done  what  they  couM 
for  the  good  of  humanity,  then  we  are  very  grateful  for  this  help,  and  we 
are  glad  that  our  work  ahows  to  as  some  of  these  good  people.  We  can 
only  wiah  all  our  pec^le  were  actuated  by  these  same  noble  principles. 

Because  children,  these  boys  and  girts,  make  the  men  and  women  of  the 
fature,  we  most  be  careful.     Because  ff  they  do  not  learn  the  secrets  of

right  ItviDg  in  youth  it  ia  not  likely  they  ever  will.  Because  we  almoat  Btawl 
SKiiBBt  at  the  reBponaibility  of  taking'  up  a  young  life  and  helping  it  to  dig 
down  and  atart  anew  the  (oundationa  of  real  living.  Becauae  where  can  we 
find  men  and  women  willing  to  do  this,  and  then  go  on  day  after  day,  and 
day  after  day,  holding  them  kindly  but  firmly  tg  the  performance  of  life's 
little  dutiea  according  to  these  foundation  principles— truth,  honesty,  justice 
and  love  for  those  around  na— until  it  comes  to  be  a  habit.  They  not  only 
know  these  great  foundation  principles,  but  they  have  learned,  by  constant 
practice,  to  do  the  little  right,  kindly,  uoeelflsh  thing. 

Who  bat  a  wise  mother  is  sufficient  for  this  great,  this  terrible  but  yet 
sweet  responsibility.  With  all  these  things  in  mind,  we  have  tried  to  do  the 
beat  we  could  to  help  these  children  that  an  unkind  fate  has  placed  under 
our  care. 

While  I  have  no  wish  to  diaparage  our  efforts,  as  I  think  we  have  done 
all  that  could  be  done  under  existing  circumatances,  and  while  I  have  no 
criticism  to  make  of  the  authorities,  aa  I  have  faith  in  them  that  they  have 
done  all  they  could  for  us,  still  I  believe  the  time  has  come  when  an  almost 
entire  change  In  the  plan  of  handling  our  children  would  prove  highly  bene- 
ficial to  them  and  to  the  state  aa  well. 

Our  inatitution  is  now  crowded,  and  we  can  not  reasonably  expect  that, 
with  a  growing  population,  our  enrollment  will  ever  be  much  smaller,  at 
least  for  any  appreciable  length  of  time.  So  we  will  be  obliged  to  have 
more  room  in  the  near  future.  Then  we  should  have  a  well-equipped 
nursery,  and  provide  for  the  babiea. 

The  colored  children  should  be  cared  for  at  some  other  place.  I  should 
think  at  some  of  these  colored  inatitutions  that  receive  state  aid  some  pro- 
viaioo  could  be  made  for  them.  There  are  never  many  of  them.  If  ao  de- 
aired  we  could  still  handle  the  placing  of  them  in  homes. 

The  younger  children  I  would  still  place  in  desirable  homes  as  fast  as 
practicable.  Much  more  time  and  money  than  we  have  ever  bad  to  use  I 
believe  could  be  well  spent  in  this  part  of  the  work.  But  it  should  be  the 
exception,  not  the  rule,  to  place  the  older  children  in  homes,  for,  except  in 
rare  caaes,  this  ia  not  satisfactory. 

Host  earnestly  hoping  that  in  the  next  two  years  we  may  accompliah 
Uie  most  good  for  the  largest  number  possible  with  the  meana  at  hand,  I 
am,  Very  respectfully  yours, 

Adda  Lobdbll,  State  Agent.

SUPERINTENDENTS  REPORT. 


To  the  Board  t>f  Control  of  State  Charitable  Inatitutione ; 

Gbntlbhbn— I  herewith  eubmit  for  your  coneideration  th«  BJxteenth 
bieimul  report  of  the  Boys'  Industrial  School,  covering  the  biennial  period 
ending  June  80,  1912. 

During  thie  period  232  boys  were  received  from  the  juvenile  courts  of  the 
state.  Two  hundred  and  fifty  twya  were  paroled  during  this  time,  snd  246 
were  in  school  at  the  close  of  the  period.  There  were  610  different  boys  in 
school,  snd  the  average  daily  population  was  2fil.5  for  the  two  years.  De- 
tails of  the  movement  of  population  will  be  found  in  the  table  accompany' 
ing  this  report 

REPAIRS  AND  lUPROVEMBNTS. 

The  buildings  and  equipment  have  been  kept  in  good  condition  and  some 
substantial  improvements  have  been  made.  From  an  appropriation  of  flGOO 
by  the  last  legialature  material  was  purchased  for  the  construction  of  a 
ve^etsble  cellar.  This  building  was  erected  by  our  own  labor,  and  affords 
ample  storage  room  for  the  institution,  providing  facilities  for  the  care  of 
aboat  10,000  bushels  of  vegetables,  besides  other  stores.  A  reinforced  cmi- 
crete  silo  with  a  capacity  of  150  tons  of  ensilage  wu  constructed,  alio  by 
our  own  labor,  at  a  costof ')282  for  material. 

Shelters  have  been  constructed  for  the  young  stock  and  for  the  vehicles, 
farm  and  garden  utensils,  several  acres  of  waste  land  have  been  reclaimed, 
and  oumerons  other  minor  improvements  have  been  made. 

HEALTH. 

The  health  of  the  boys  has  been  uniformly  good  throughout  the  period. 
NnmerooB  ills  of  a  trifling  nature  have  been  treated,  but  no  epidemic  has 
occurred  and  there  have  been  only  a  few  cases  of  serious  illness.  One 
death  occurred,  that  of  a  fifteen-year-old  boy,  on  January  7,  1912.  Thia 
boy  developed  a  case  of  typhoid  fever  a  few  days  after  entering  the  school. 
He  undoubtedly  brought  the  infection  with  him,  as  no  case  of  the  kind  ap- 
peared before  his  illness  and  none  has  occurred  since. 

SCHOOL  OP  LETTERS 

The  work  in  the  school  of  letters  has  been  carried  on  with  gratifying 
results.  Our  teachers  have  been  well  equipped  for  the  work,  both  by  edu- 
cation and  experience,  and  have  displayed  a  genuine  interest  in  the  problem 
of  the  backward  child  as  he  finds  his  way  into  the  Industrial  School.  As 
heretofore,  we  have  endeavored  to  emphasize  the  practical  side  of  educa- 
tion, tea<thing  the  boy  to  do  simple,  practical  things  well,  rather  than  insist- 
ing' upon  adhering  to  any  prescribed  course  of  study.  Cultural  stodies  have 
not  been  neglected,  but  due  regard  has  been  given  to  the  need  of  educating, 
not  the  head  alone,  but  the  hand,  the  eye  and  the  heart  as  well.  The  course 
of  study  preaeribed  for  the  use  of  the  public  schools  of  the  state  has  be«o

146  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control. 

followed  in  a  general  vay,  and  boyi  leaving  the  Bchool  to  enter  the  pnblic 
■chools  have  found  no  difficulty  in  maintaining  their  standing. 

As  stated  elflewhere,  the  work  of  education  in  institutiona  for  delinqnenti 
ia  becoming  more  and  more  the  problem  of  the  backward  child.  The  ume 
demands  are  made  upon  the  teaching  force  that  are  made  upon  the  teachers 
of  the  special  claMes  for  the  backward  and  defective.  Until  we  can  im- 
prove the  homes  from  which  our  delinquent  population  cornea,  or  improve 
tbe  stock  from  which  it  springs,  the  problem  of  the  delinquent  becomes 
more  and  more  the  problem  of  education.  There  is  but  one  way  to  bring 
about  social  readjustment,  and  that  is  by  way  of  the  children,  through  the 
homes  primarily,  and  secondarily  and  more  definitely  through  the  aebools. 

Indoatrial  training  is  recognized  as  coordinate  with  the  training  to  be  had 
in  the  school  of  lettera,  but  systematic  instruction  in  industrial  training  aa 
it  is  understood  by  most  people  ia  a  matter  of  first  importance  to  compara- 
tively few  boys  who  come  to  the  Industrial  School.  This  is  true,  not  becauae 
industrial  training  or  trade  teaching  is  unimportant,  but  because  the  boy 
committed  to  the  Industrial  School  is  almost  uniformly  backward  and  poorly 
equipped  by  hia  inheritance,  training  and  education  to  enter  at  once  upon  a 
course  of  industrial  training  that  will  enable  him  to  enter  and  bold  hia  place 
in  the  wage-earning  classes.  He  ia  better  equipped  to  begin  this  work  when 
he  leaves  the  school  than  when  he  entered  it.  Until  the  Industrial  School 
is  able  to  retain  boya  through  a  longer  period  and  send  them  forth  fully 
equipped  to  earn  a  living,  its  field  is  more  along  the  line  of  vocational  guid- 
ance. The  industrial-school  boy  is  usually  the  result  of  individual  malad- 
justment to  existing  social  economic  conditions.  His  need  calls  for  descreet 
guidance,  based  on  a  concrete  knowledge  of  each  individual  case.  A  judi- 
cious exercise  of  this  policy  will  enable  the  school  to  assist  the  boy  in  his 
choice  of  vocation  and  at  the  fame  time  aid  in  the  aolution  of  tbe  complex 
and  disturbing  problem  of  industrial  efficiency. 

RECREATION  AND  AHU3EMENT. 

Well-selected  amusement  and  properly  supervised  recreation  are  import- 
ant factors  in  reclaiming  youthful  delinquents,  and  thia  feature  of  our  worit 
has  been  emphasized  during  the  biennial  period.  An  outdoor  gymnatinm 
has  been  constructed  and  facilities  for  outdoor  exercise  and  recreation  have 
been  enlarged.  The  classes  heretofore  conducted  indoors  are  now  conducted 
in  the  open  air  when  the  weather  permits.  Especial  attention  has  been 
given  to  outdoor  games,  and  numerous  baseball  "nines"  have  been  main- 
tained. Due  regard  is  had  for  the  ethics  of  sport,  and  the  importance  of 
clean  athletics  of  all  kinds  ia  daily  impreased  upon  our  pupils. 

The  indoor  gynmasium  work  haa  proven  very  popular,  and  numerous  in- 
vitations were  received  from  organizations  in  Topeka  and  near-by  towna  to 
give  exhibitions.  Accordingly  a  dozen  or  more  exhibitions  were  given,  and 
without  exception  the  boys  acquitted  themselves  creditably. 

Visits  were  also  made  by  the  entire  school  to  the  Topeka  Midwinter  Ex- 
position, the  State  Fair  and  to  other  entertainments  in  the  city.  These 
courtesies  have  been  appreciated  by  the  boys,  as  evidenced  by  the  gentle- 
manly manner  in  which  the  visits  have  been  conducted.

BASKBTKT  AND  WEAVINO. 

The  department  of  wearing,  basketry  and  raffia  work  eatabllBhed  two 
yean  ago  baa  proven  a  valuable  addition  to  out  industrial  training.  Wbile 
not  int«ided  as  a  department  of  trade  teachiDg,  it  has  nevertheleas  proven 
■atisfactory  from  this  standpoint.  Several  hundred  ornamental  baskets 
have  been  made,  and  man;  of  these  have  been  sold,  while  we  have  woven 
about  one  hundred  yards  of  carpet  and  more  than  two  hundred  rugs,  moat 
of  which  are  in  use  in  the  institution. 

MILITARY  DRILL. 

The  department  of  physical  training  haa  been  provided  with  Springfield 
rifles  and  other  equipment  by  the  war  department  at  Washington,  and  daily 
natruction  in  military  drill,  including  the  manual  of  arms  and  "Butts 
Manual, ' '  has  became  an  important  feature  of  the  work  of  this  department. 
"Retreat"  at  sundown  and  battalion  parade  on  Sunday  afternoon  are  mili- 
tary ceremonies  that  are  constant  lessons  of  loyalty  and  patriotism. 

ENTERTAINHBNTS  AND  LECTURES. 

During  the  winter  months  entertainments  were  given  regularly  every 
Wednesday  evening.  These  entertainments  often  took  the  form  of  a  lec- 
ture, illustrated  with  a  stereopticoii,  upon  some  historical  or  geographical 
Bubject.  At  other  times  the  Y.  U.  C.  A.,  or  other  young  people's  orgaci- 
xation  furnished  the  procrram.  Also  a  number  of  entertainments  were  given 
by  students  from  Washburn  College.  We  wish  to  make  acknowledgment 
of  the  aervices  rendered  the  school  by  these  various  organizations,  and  to 
recommend  a  fund  of  |300  per  year  as  an  entertainment  fund  for  providing 
suitable  entertainments  and  lectures. 

Y.  H.  C.  A,   EXTENSION. 

We  also  wish  to  e^ipress  our  appreciation  of  the  assistance  rendered  by 
the  college  Y.  M.  C.  A.  during  the  holiday  season  of  each  of  the  two  years 
of  the  biennium  and  for  the  spirit  of  cooperation  shown  by  this  organiza- 
tion. It  is  an  expression  of  the  interest  now  taken  by  thinking  people  in 
promoting  a  widespread  social  uplift  and  in  promoting  in  a  practical  way 
Uie  "forward"  movement  for  better  things.  This  movement  originated  in 
tbe  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  came  as  a  proposal  to  send  a  gospel  team  of  five  or 
sis  young  men  to  spend  a  week  at  the  school  to  give  to  the  boys  whatever 
they  could  of  a  social  and  spiritual  uplift.  The  proposal  was  accepted  and 
the  details  of  the  week's  work  carefully  worked  out.  Opportunities  were 
afforded  for  the  visitors  to  mingle  with  tbe  boys  with  the  utmost  freedom. 
They  were  with  them  at  their  work  and  in  the  schoolroom,  shared  their 
aporta  with  them,  and  brought  to  them  in  a  most  helpful  way  a  message  of 
good  fellowship.  The  result  of  it  all  was  most  satisfactory.  The  commu- 
nity of  interest  established  Iwtween  the  boys  and  their  visitors  was  a  source 
of  encouragement  and  stimulation,  while  the  visitors  found  great  pleasure 
in  the  work  they  did  and  learned  much  of  value  to  them  in  promoting  the 
work  of  social  readjustment  through  Y.  H.  G.  A.  extension. 

We  are  under  additional  obligations  to  the  gospel  team  of  1912,  who  fol- 
lowed up  their  work  of  special  services  by  conducting  a  series  of  volunteer 
Bible  atodies  during  the  three  or  four  months  follovring.  Their  labors  met 
a  ready,  and  even  enthusiastic  response  on  the  part  of  the  boys,  and  we  are 
sure  that  gratifying  results  folk>wed.

148  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control 

THE  CHARACTER  OF  THE  JITVBNILE  DEUNQDBNT. 

Since  the  juvenile  court  has  been  in  operation  in  the  atate  the  character 
of  the  population  of  the  Industrial  School  has  underffone  a  marked  change. 
The  liftiiiK-out  procese  of  the  juvenile  court,  and  tiie  activity  of  the  vari- 
ous orsanizationi  cociperating  with  the  court,  haa  resulted  in  reclaiming 
many  boys  ttho  otherwiae  wruld  have  drifted  into  the  Industrial  School 
On  the  other  hand,  this  very  activity  has  made  it  some  one's  duty  to  look 
after  the  wayward  boys  of  every  community,  and  those  who  fail  to  make 
good  are  committed  to  the  Industrial  School,  whereas  in  former  years  they 
continued  to  be  tolerated  in  the  community  bo  long  as  they  did  not  commit 
a  serious  offense  until  they  had  passed  the  maximum  age  of  sixteen  years. 
As  a  result  of  all  this,  the  boys  now  committed  to  the  Industrial  School  are 
much  more  backward  and  defective  than  those  committed  under  the  former 
conditione.  This  makes  the  problem  more  than  ever  the  problem  of  the 
backward  child,  as  stated  elsewhere,  and  also  makes  the  problem  much 
more  difficult  than  before  and  the  results  more  unsatisfactory.  Of  the  20 
per  cent  whose  mental  age  is  Ave  or  more  years  behind  their  physical  age, 
not  one  can  ever  become  a  normal,  aelf -supporting  citizen.  Ho«t  of  them 
will  remain  flt  subjects  for  the  state  institutions  or  will  become  the  antiso- 
cial ne'er-do-wells  whose  unrestrained  existence  can  result  only  in  the  per- 
petuation of  a  claas  of  degenerates  of  no  worth  to  the  state  or  to  the  social 
body.  The  state  should  do  more  than  it  has  done  to  disseminata  a  knowl- 
edge of  the  evils  of  moral  and  physical  degeneracy  and  feeble-mindedness. 
Unchecked  it  will  remain  a  dead  weight  upon  the  social  and  economic 
wealth  of  the  state  and  will  continue  to  grow  unless  restricted  by  wise  leg- 
islation and  judicious  teaching. 

THE  STUDY  Or  THE  JUVENILE  OFFENDER. 

In  recent  yean,  with  the  breaking  away  from  the  congregate  system  of 
dealing  with  young  offenders,  and  the  reduction  in  the  size  of  the  family 
units  in  all  institutions  for  juvenile  delinquents,  there  has  been  a  corre- 
sponding emphasis  laid  upon  the  study  of  the  personality  of  the  offender. 
The  only  rational  approach  to  a  correct  dealing  with  a  given  offender  is 
through  an  intimate,  accurate  and  scientific  knowledge  of  his  personslity. 
The  Kansas  Industrial  School,  like  most  similar  institutions  in  the  United 
States,  is  Ailed  to  its  capacity  moat  of  the  time.  The  average  daily  popu- 
lation of  this  institution  during  the  biennial  period  just  ended  was  4.5 
greater  than  the  number  of  beds  in  the  institution,  while  at  one  time  there 
were  twenty-six  more  boys  than  beds.  This  congested  condition  keeps  our 
family  units  too  large,  as  stated  in  the  fifteenth  biennial  report,  and  rendera 
impossible  this  intimate  persona)  knowledge  of  the  individual  boy  on  the 
part  of  the  family  manager.  Classification  and  segr^ration  of  the  popols- 
tion  is  impossible  under  these  conditions,  but  there  is  a  wide  field  for  ob- 
serving and  recording  data  that  moat  be  of  immense  importance  to  those 
dealing  with  thia  abncvmal  population.  Without  exception  the  autboritiea 
upon  the  geneais  of  crime  attribute  it  to  the  diaorda«d  personality  of  the 
individual.  This  ia  true  to  such  an  extent  that  several  juvenile  psyebopathie 
institutes  have  been  established,  and  the  paycbopathologist  has  beei»ne  a 
necessary  adjunct  to  the  juvenile  court.  The  importance  of  this  work  is 
becoming  generally  recognized,  and  in  a  few  yeara  it  will  become  a  feature 
of  the  woric  of  all  institutiooB  for  offendera,  both  adult  and  juvenitsL    We

believe  the  A%y  is  «ppn>Mbinir  when  the  ctuneterietics  of  the  juvenile 
offender  irill  be  so  aceuntel;  «v«taated  that  the  conrtx  can  be  definitely 
informed  of  certain  individnah  tlut  are  so  certain  to  become  confirmed 
rwidiviBta  and  to  be  a  menace  to  society  that  permanent  Begregation  is 
DecHsary.  Whatever  may  be  the  altimate  resnlta,  however,  of  such  a 
study,  this  institution  is  endeavorioK  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  progressive 
movement  along  these  lines.  In  connection  with  this  work  we  wish  to 
acknowled^  the  cheerful  cooperation  and  valuable  assistance  of  the  Esn- 
aas  Medical  College  of  Topeka  and  of  the  department  of  education  and 
department  of  physical  training  of  the  State  University. 

Through  the  coSperation  of  these  institutions,  the  work  begun  by  the 
school  several  yean  ago  has  been  carried  on  and  the  way  has  been  opened 
for  a  atill  more  exhaustive  study  of  the  problems  involved.

PAROLE  AGENT'S  REPORT. 

The  experiences  of  the  past  two  years  have  not  differed  much  from  that 
of  years  gone  before.  The  same  problems  met  us,  the  same  difficulties 
confronted  us,  the  same  results  encouraged  us.  The  enlarged  appropria- 
tion enabled  us  to  extend  the  work  somewhat  and  cover  a  wider  field. 

Your  agent  made  435  trips  to  ninety-one  different  places,  made  847 
Tiaits  to  boys  on  parole,  and  668  to  other*  concerned,  such  as  court  officials, 
parents,  guardians  and  people  wanting  boys,  and  traveled  48,286  miles. 

During  the  period  we  paroled  250  boys  and  returned  58.  Of  the  boys 
paroled  40  went  to  other  states  and  were  beyond  our  reach  for  personal 
oversight,  yet  we  kept  in  touch  with  moat  of  them  by  correspondence. 
Occasionally  one  of  them  would  drift  back  to  Kansas,  and  in  a  few  cases 
back  to  the  school.  The  parents  of  many  boys  are  shiftless,  migratory  and 
reatleas,  dragging  their  familes  about  from  place  to  place,  and  the  unfortu- 
nate children  never  know  the  advantages  of  a  permanent  home.

150  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control 

New  homes  were  secured  for  fortr-eight  boys.  The  homins  of  homelesB 
boya  IB  very  difficult.  Few  good  homes  are  ftsking  for  our  boys,  snd  poor 
homes  are  not  desirable.  Host  people  asking'  for  boys  want  such  as  are 
large  enough  to  do  a  man's  work,  but  are  Dot  willing  to  give  them  a  man's 
wages.  Such  boys  will  not  long  submit  to  injustice  in  wages  or  other  treats 
ment.  Another  thing  to  contend  agsinst  is  the  fact  that  boys  doming  from 
towns  and  cities  do  not  take  to  country  lif«,  tb«  locesomeness  being  more 
than  they  can  endure. 

So  most  of  our  paroled  boys  go  back  to  their  own  people,  moat  of  whom 
can  do  but  little  for  them;  but  the  home  instinct  is  strong  in  the  boy'i 
heart,  and  to  him,  however  humble,  there  is  no  place  like  home. 

We  have  had  on  parole  an  average  of  41S  boys  to  look  after,  visit,  coun- 
sel and  direct  in  that  which  is  for  their  best  good.  This  ia  the  most  im- 
portant part  of  the  parole  agent'a  work.  A  timely  visit  often  prevents 
trouble.  Parents  welcome  the  agent  as  they  feel  the  boy  getting  beyond 
controL  The  boy  recognizes  the  agent  as  one  having  authority  and  the 
power  to  return  him  to  the  School.  It  haa  been  physically  impossible  to 
visit  all  the  boys,  for  they  are  scattered  over  a  large  territory,  and  it  takes 
time  to  travel,  as  well  as  hard  cash. 

The  parole  agent  is  expected  to  investigate  homes  before  the  boy  is 
paroled  thereto.  This  is  important,  as  it  gives  him  a  knowledge  of  home 
conditions  and  enables  him  to  make  acquaintance  with  the  home  people. 
He  can  and  does  advise  with  parents  as  to  the  best  methods  of  managing 
the  boy.  The  great  majoritv  of  parents  are  ignorant  of  proper  child  train- 
ing. Where  there  are  stepfathers  or  stepmothers  there  ia  more  or  less 
friction  in  the  home,  and  the  boy  auflers  the  consequences.  There  u  work 
enough  in  thia  line  of  effort  to  occupy  the  parole  agent's  whole  time  in  ad- 
vising and  instructing  parents. 

When  reports  come  to  ihe  office  of  a  boy  being  in  trouble  and  should  be 
returned,  a  prompt  response  is  expected.  The  agent  does  not  accept  the 
*  charges  made  against  the  boy  as  correct,  but  investigates  for  himself  and 
takea  the  boy's  part  in  the  defense.  Where  it  is  wise  to  do  so,  the  boy  is 
given  further  probation,  and  a  goodly  number  have  made  good  after  being 
put  on  a  second  trial  at  home.  Where  the  offense  is  flagrant  the  boy  is  re- 
turned to  the  School. 

During  the  biennial  period  fifty-eight  boys  have  been  returned.  All  this, 
together  with  necessary  office  duties,  keeping  records,  etc.,  has  kept  your 
(%ent  busily  employed  every  day  of  the  closing  period.  He  has  lost  no  time 
by  sickness,  has  taken  no  vacation,  met  with  no  accident,  and  has  been  on 
the  road  in  all  sorts  of  weather  moat  of  the  time.  He  has  not  done  all  he 
wanted  to  do,  but  has  done  what  he  could,  and  submits  this  report  in  the 
hope  of  approval,  thankful  for  the  help  and  encouragement  of  the  superin- 
tendent and  Board  of  Control.  M.  F.  McEirahan,

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


n  the  Board  of  Control  of  StaU  CkariUMe  Iwlitiutimt: 

Gbntlbmbn— Another  bienniom  of  institcitiaBat  Ufa  ia  numbered  with 
ti>e  past.  Aj  we  recount  the  oppoMnnitiea  that  have  come  to  ua  to  help 
and  stroifl^hen  the  weak  cHies,  we  mast  tarn  on  the  searehli^ht  of  tmth 
and  ezamtne  ouraetvee  to  know  whether  we  have  discharffed  onr  doty 
ariffht.  Are  our  girls  etn»iKer  morally?  Do  they  have  a  deeper  regard  for 
the  tmthT  Do  they  have  a  higher  sense  of  honor  and  integrity?  Do  they 
think  right  thoughts?  Is  their  past  life  repulsive  to  them?  If  so,  we  may 
rent  aasnred  that  our  labor  ia  not  lost.  The  joy  that  comes  to  the  one  who 
trains  and  directs  aright  is  compensation  enough  ;  to  be  able  to  do  this  is  to 
live  the  larger  life;  to  see  the  possibility  of  the  jewel,  though  now  it  be  in- 
cniated  in  the  raud  and  filth  of  despair. 

It  is  scarcely  neceaaary  to  aaythat  ths  moat  formidable  problem  that 
caofrontfl  ua  in  ttie  work  of  reolaiming  oargirls  is  to  And  suitable  iaatructors. 
Our  girls  yield  quickly  to  good  teaching  and  good  influeDces;  hence  the  ne- 
cessity of  having  the  ones  who  teach  strong  in  mind  and  thought,  and  at 
the  same  time  persons  who  roalise  that  tb«M  is  no  nobler  charity  than  that 
which  s«elc8  to  lift  up  from  an  unfortunate  condition  girls  that  are  weak  in 
the  very  qualities  that  are  necessary  to  true  womanhood. 

While  our  first  thought  should  be  the  girl,  it  should  extend  beyond  th^ 
girl  to  the  home  from  whence  she  came.  Whatever  destroys  the  family 
amitea  the  foundation  of  social  order.  The  need  of  the  home  life  being 
preserved  has  perhaps  never  l>een  more  fully  realized  than  at  the  present 
time.  Industrial-school  workers  must  realize  the  need  of  broadening  their 
field  of  labor,  not  only  to  the  saving  of  the  boys  and  girls  under  their  train* 
ing,  but,  through  them,  each  inember  of  the  family  group  whose  hearthr 
atone  baa  been  shattered,  "It  is  surely  in  accord  with  a  humane  and 
enlightened  public  policy  that  a  reunited  family  may  thank  the  wisdom  o^ 
any  state  for  so  training  their  children  that  they  may  win  back  the  imper- 
iled  heritage  of  home."  I  am  glad  to  say  that  in  our  beloved  state  of 
Kansas  many  homea  have  been  strengthened  and  brought  together  in  this 
way.  I  sometimes  feel  that  I  would  like  to  make  a  plea  to  the  mothers  of 
Kansas.  I  would  like  to  picture  to  them  how  glorious  life  might  be  made 
to  our  boys  and  girls  if  in  their  tender  years  they  could  be  led  to  recognise 
the  good  lying  at  the  heart  of  all  things;  if  they  could  train  their  children 
to  be  simple  and  sweet,  to  be  humble  and  childlike,  and  therefore  strong, 
keeping  their  faces  always  to  the  light,  loving  the  right  and  standing  in 
fear  of  nothing  save  wrongdoing. 

There  is  no  one  more  deserving  of  respect  than  the  fathers  and  mothers 

who  have  faithfully  and  self-aacnflclngly  done  their  best  for  a  large  fanill^ 

of  children  and  brought  them  up  to  be  a  help  to  the  world.     All  the  dost 

and  expense  of  training  boys  and  girls  in  our  reformatories  and  indnstrtal

BchoolB  i*  a  neceBsity,  id  ft  large  degree,  because  KiiDe  fftthera  and  mothers 
have  failed  to  do  their  duty. 

"Ai  out  of  the  heart  are  the  iasnes  of  indiyiduai  life,  so  oat  of  the  home . 
are  the  issues  of  social  life.  The  home  is  an  instrument  for  good  or  ill, 
mightier  than  the  school  or  the  press  or  the  pulpit." 

SCHOOLS. 

Education  here  means  more  tbao  just  an  education  of  the  mind.  The 
eye  and  hand  are  trained  by  means  of  basket  weavinr.'wood  carving,  clay 
modeling,  rug  weaving  and  bead  work,  as  well  as  the  educatioD  more  pro- 
nouncedly belonging  to  the  'kindergarten.  Special  attention  is  givoi  to 
artistic  training,  which  here  reaches  its  most  exquisite  devek^Hoent  in 
watercolor  and  china  painting.  The  educational  work  of  the  School  em- 
braces grades  from  the  primary  to  a  complete  coarse  in  high  school.  The 
fact  that  many  of  the  girls  go  out  to  enter  the  high  schools  of  tbe  state 
without  demotim)  is  an  evidence  of  the  thoroughness  of  the  woik  dMie. 
Uany  of  our  paroled  girls  pursue  their  school  work  after  leaving  the  School, 
and  in  their  work  compare  favorably  with  young  women  having  better  sd- 
vanti^^  in  the  start. 

LIBRARY. 

Our  library  is  carefully  selected  and  well  suited  to  tbe  needs  of  the  School 
Strange  as  it  may  seam,  the  proportion  of  even  strmg,  wholeacKne  flctaoa 
seems  small  compared  with  the  number  of  books  that  impart  desirable  in- 
formation in  an  attractive  form. 

DOMBBTIC  ICONOMY. 

Here  the  girls  are  given  such  a  course  as  may  be  found  in  any  woman's 
college  having  this  training  in  its  curriculum.  In  a  cheerful  classroom  the 
girls  are  taught  the  chemical  composition  and  hygienic  use  of  food  stuffs, 
the  foundation  principles  of  bread  making  and  eatable  cookery,  how  to  set 
a  table  and  serve  a  meal,  the  proper  management  of  a  home,  the  duties  of 
mistress  and  maid,  the  etiquette  of  entertaining,  the  neatest  way  to  dam 
an  ugly  snag,  how  to  miter  comers,  and  a  thousand  other  things.  Their 
instruction  is  by  no  mesns  confined  to  theory.  In  a  neat  workroom  are 
their  beautiful  work  cabinets,  with  their  scoured  tops  and  neatly  kept  com- 
partments. In  the  pantry  are  their  cooking  utensils,  shining  beautifully 
clean  and  sweet.  Here  our  girls  have  practice  in  actual  home  keeping  ac- 
cording to  the  best  and  most  sanitary  methods. 

In  the  laundry,  the  sewing  room,  the  bakery  srd  the  vsrious  kitchens  of 
ihe  institution  the  girls  receive  instruction  while  gaining  experience  through 
conducting  the  actual  work  of  the  School.  No  girl  can  complete  her  course 
without  learning  to  wash  and  iron,  make  her  own  clothes,  bake  good  bread 
jwd  prepare  wholesome  food. 

ART  DEPABTUGNT. 

In  additiwi  to  the  instructi<m  given  in  the  use  of  the  needle  in  the  do- 
mestic-economy department  and  the  sewing  room,  a  special  art  department 
is  maintained  for  such  girls  as  have  specisl  ability  or  taste  for  this  work. 
But  it  is  not  to  be  considered  a  merely  ornamental  accomplishment.  In  this 
day,  when  beauUful  handwork  is  popular  and  commands  a  high  price,  the 
a'filled  needlewoman  is  assured  a  comfortable  livelihood.

HDSIC  DBPARTHBNT. 

As  we  mske  eapecial  study  of  the  delinquent  girl  we  find  thst  musical 
tnttning  is  one  of  the  best  mesns  of  developing  the  will  power.  The  pftiUB- 
taking  drill  and  self-determined  discipline  required  go  far  toward  fortniDg 
habits  of  self -control  and  the  resistance  to  mere  inclinations.  The  discipline 
here  is  exacting  and  the  drill  thoiough.  The  music  of  the  School  is  under 
the  direction  of  a  skilled  supervisor.  We  deem  ourselves  exceptionally 
fortunate  in  securing  so  able  an  instructor  as  Hiss  Arietta  Rinehard.  She 
has  had  years  of  experience,  besides  having  had  special  instruction  under 
W.  S.  C.  Matthews  in  piano  music  and  Mrs.  Jessie  L.  Gaynor  in  harmony. 
An  excellent  orchestra  is  maintained  through  her  efforts,  and  our  girls  are 
capable  of  furnishing  a  moat  pleasing  entertainment. 

BTENOGRAPHY  DBPARTKENT. 

Thirty-two  girls  are  found  in  the  stenography  department,  all  of  whom 
are  deeply  interested  in  their  work.  This  department  has  grown  to  be  an 
educational  force  in  our  institution.  Not  only  principles  of  typewriting  and 
ibortliand  are  taught  here,  but  business  principles  as  well,  all  of  which 
broaden  the  girl's  conception  and  prepare  her  for  usefulness  in  the  work  of 
life. 

HISTORICAL. 

Prior  to  the  enactment  of  the  first  law  relative  to  the  establishment  of 
the  State  Industrial  School  for  Girls,  there  was  maintained  by  private  sub- 
scriptions and  donations  a  Home  for  girls  where  they  could  be  tai^ht  to 
work  and  be  educated.  The  SchObI  at  that  time  was  under  the  manage- 
ment of  the  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union,  and  was  kept  up  largely, 
throogh  the  efforts  of  Mr,  and  Mrs.  Charles  H.  St.  John,  by  donations  from 
the  various  Unions  throughout  the  state.  The  house  rent,  salaries  and  fuel 
were  paid  for  by  Beloit  people.  The  first  buikling  occupied  by  the  Home 
was  a  neat  nine-room  cottage  in  the  northeast  part  of  the  city  of  Beloit, 
known  as  the  William  Kinsley  residence.  From  here  the  Home  was  moved 
into  a  much  larger  stone  building  on  the  comer  of  Main  and  Bell  streets, 
where  it  was  maintained  until  it  passed  under  state  control  and  became 
known  as  the  State  Industrial  School  for  Girls. 

The  various  ones  who  have  superintended  the  work  up  to  the  present 
time  are  as  follows: 

Hiss  Mary  Marshall 18SS  to  1891. 

Hiss  Martha  P.  Spencer. 1891  to  1893. 

Miss  Fannie  Haun 1893  to  1896. 

Mrs.  S.  V.  Leper. 1895  to  1897. 

Mn.  PhcBbe  J.  Baer 1897  to  1S99. 

Mrs.  Hester  Hanback 1899  to  1901. 

Mrs.  Julia  B.  Ferry 1901  to  1912. 

The  first  90  acres  of  the  200  that  now  belong  to  the  School  was  donated 
by  Beloit  to  the  state  of  Kansas  to  establish  the .  institution  as  a  State 
ScbooL 

The  Kansas  Industrial  School  for  Girls  was  established  by  an  act  of  the 
l^ialature  during  the  year  1889.  The  School  is  located  one  mile  north  of 
the  city  of  Beloit. 

At  the  time  the  School  was  established  there  was  an  appropriation  of

¥26,000  made  for  the  erection  of  the  main  baildin^.  Previoui  to  thu  time 
the  School  had  been  maintained  by  primte  subscriptiona  and  donationa. 

In  the  year  189G  the  west  cottage  was  erected  and  fumished,  at  a  coet 
of  (31.000;  the  detached  hospital,  a  one-atory  frame  building,  was  built, 
fumiahed  and  equipped  for  (ZSOO.  This  building  haa  since  been  converted 
into  a  men's  cottage.  No  man  employed  at  the  inatitution  sleeps  or  roODis 
in  the  institution  proper.  The  clerk'a  cottage  ia  a  one-and-one-half- story 
frame  building,  erected  at  a  cost  of  $1000;  the  boiler  house  and  laundry 
building  was  completed  and  equipped  for  £10,000.  Owing  to  the  damage 
that  resulted  from  fire  the  night  of  November  6,  1900,  it  became  necessary 
to  make  an  appropriation  of  $5000  for  repairs.  The  east  cottage  was  com- 
pleted and  furnished  in  1901,  at  an  expense  of  $26,666.  In  1902  a  stock  bam 
was  erected,  at  a  cost  of  $i30.  In  the  fiscal  year  1906  a  general  department 
cottage  was  erected  and  equipped  at  a  cost  of  $16,000,  and  in  1907  a  new 
school  building  was  erected  and  equipped  at  a  coat  of  $S0,D0O.  This  build- 
ing contains  ten  schoolrooms,  a  Kynmasium,  and  a  fine,  large  music  room. 
Shower  baths  are  provided,  and  everything  is  arranged  for  the  comfort  and 
general  welfare  of  the  girls.  In  1908  a  new  hospital  was  erected  and  equip- 
ped at  a  coat  of  $4000,  and  in  1S09  a  second  department  cottage  was  erected 
and  equipped  at  a  coet  of  $16,000. 

During  the  year  1911  a  new  laundry,  which  was  much  needed,  was 
erected  and  partly  equipped  with  new  machinery  at  a  coot  of  S8000 ;  also  an 
implement  bam  waa  erected  for  $799.97;  a  new  hay  bam  for  $1268.  This 
last  was  paid  for  out  of  the  fee  fund.  New  boilers  were  Installed  at  a  cost 
of  $8996.56,  and  general  repairs  to  the  amount  of  $1485  were  made. 

PEE  FUND.

Received  during  biennium  from  fees 6,846.38 

Expended  during  biennium  from  fees 3.660.77 

On  hand  at  end  of  biennium 3,016.40 

The  following  improvements  were  made  from  the  fee  account  during  the 
last  biennium;

SALARIES. 

Owing  to  the  amount  of  work  done  and  the  standard  of  work  required, 
the  superintendent  is  worthy  of  more  remuneration  than  ahe  receives.  Tbe 
institution  has  quadrupled  itself  in  duties  and  responsibilities  in  the  last 
eleven  years,  and  has  at  all  times  manifested  a  high  standard  of  excellence. 
Tbe  salary  now  paid  is  not  commensurate  with  that  of  other  states  where 
like  work  is  required.  Kansas  people  are  anxious  to  stand  first  in  quality 
of  work  done,  and  surely  are  willing  to  appropriate  funds  according  to  the 
demands  they  make.    If  you  can  conscientiously  recommend  a

salary  in  h«r  behalf,  she  will  not  only  appreciate  the  same  but  will  assure 
yoo  that  you  will  ever  have  reaaoo  to  feel  that  the  money  has  been  wisely 
^propriated. 

OFFICERS  NBMDBD. 

One  farmer,  an  offleer  for  the  bakery  and  a  general  ntility  ofllcer  are 
needed.  We  should  also  have  another  enfineer  for  relief  work  during  ex* 
treme  weather. 

The  need  of  a  telephone  system  being  installed  as  a  matter  of  conven- 
ience appeala  to  me  as  a  real  necessity.  I  would  advise  that  this  matter  be 
taken  under  advisement  and  funds  set  apart  for  same. 

OOUBBB  OF  LBCTUBSB. 

There  is  no  one  thing  that  would  brinff  more  of  brightness  and  cheer, 
and  at  the  same  time  give  food  for  fhoue^t,  than  a  eoorse  of  lectures  care- 
fully arranged  for  our  girla.  I  would  recommend  that  an  appropriati<»  be 
allowed  for  this  specific  purpose. 

We  need  additions  to  our  library  in  the  way  of  Ikx^b.  Onr  girls  love  to 
read,  and  money  can  not  be  more  wisely  expended  than  In  good,  wholesome 
literature.  An  appropriation  of  at  least  $600  ought  to  be  secured  for  this 
purpose  from  the  next  seasicm  of  the  legislature. 

APPROPRIATIONS. 

I  ipould  recommend  the  following  appropriations  for  the  next  biennium: 
Wi.  1915. 

Salaries  and  wsgee 116,600  $16,500 

Maintenance  and  repairs 30.000  30,000 

General  repairs 2.000  2,000 

Books  and  periodicals 260  260 

Auditorium SO.OOO 

Enlarging  dining  room 1,000 

Changing  chapeT  to  dormitories 2,000 

Fiano  tm  ^lapel 600 

Boiler 2,000 

Equipping  laundry 1,000 

Dairy  bam 6,000 

Land,  160  acres 16,000 

Horse  barn ^600 

ToUl $86,360  $71,250 

Another  boiler  seems  a  necessity  to  the  proper  heating  of  our  buildings. 
Our  laundry  ia  badly  in  need  of  proper  equipment. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  piano  we  have  is  almost  past  use,  I  would 
also  recommend  the  purchase  of  a  new  piano  for  use  in  chapel  until  such  a 
time  when  we  secure  our  auditorium.  The  cost  of  such  a  piano— a  "baby 
grand"— would  probably  be  about  $600. 

LANDSCAPE  OARDmiNG. 

It  is  not  expected  that  the  girls  can  do  much  toward  puttlnir  the  institu- 
tion on  a  self-supporting  basis,  yet  their  efforts  in  ornamental  gardening 
go  far  towarda  supplying  thetr  tables  and  furnishing  s  surplus  of  summer 
vegetables,  which  are  placed  on  the  market.  Each  year  our  girls  put  up 
thousands  of  quarts  of  firuit  and  vegetables.  Our  gardens  are  beautiful, 
and  attract  the  attention  of  many  people.

168  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control. 

DAIRYING. 

This  is  another  department  in  which  our  ^Is  are  interested.  They  at- 
tend  to  the  milking  and  batter  nrnking.  We  have  a  herd  of  thirty-two 
cowB  and  four  heifers.  Our  herd  was  increased  by  adding  fourteen  Hol> 
stein  cows,  together  with  a  fine  thoroughbred  animal.  Our  girls  enjoy  the 
good,  sweet  milk  to  drink  and  always  like  to  be  on  the  milking  force. 

PUNISHMENT, 

Everyone  is  interested  to  know  what  methods  of  punishment  are  em- 
ployed in  our  institution.  Corporal  punishment  is  forbidden  tinder  all  cir- 
cumstances. The  credit  or  merit  system  is  employed,  and  a  girl  may 
shorten  her  period  of  detention  or  stay  the  full  time  according  as  her  con- 
duct shows  her  flt  or  unfit  to  leave  the  institution. 

The  real  reforming  power  lies  not  in  any  one  thing  as  the  method  of 
correction  or  religious  influence,  but  in  the  organisation  of  the  whole;  the 
ranouB  departments  are  bo  many  tools  directed  toward  the  accomplishmrat 
of  the  salvation  of  the  girl.  The  girl  herself  becomes  a  part  of  the  man- 
agement. 

FARIUNG. 

Our  farm  work  is  under  the  supervision  of  a  head  fanner,  Mr.  B.  E. 
Walters,  and  his  assistant.  Every  foot  of  our  farm,  excepting  pasture  land, 
is  under  cultivation.  The  yield  from  our  farm,  together  with  stock  raised 
and  sold,  proves  a  very  profitable  investment  for  our  institution.  The  farm 
consists  of  200  acres  under  cultivation. 

This  last  biennium  we  have  turned  into  our  fee  fund  S5S46.38,  besides 
furnishing  ourselves  with  potatoes,  alfalfa,  pork  and  lard. 

In  this  report  you.  catch  a  sort  of  a  panoramic  view  of  our  institution. 
The  scenes  are  shifted  so  quickly,  thongh,  that  I  fear  the  whole  may  appear 
to  you  at  a  great  automatic  machine  with  machine  methods;  but  when  we 
remember  the  happy,  contented  spirit  that  prevails  everywhere,  as  we  view 
the  changed  life  of  the  girls,  as  we  call  before  our  mind's  eye  the  ones  that 
are  making  good,  as  we  again  look  at  the  reunited  home  that  the  girl  has 
been  the  means  of  bringing  together,  we  feel  encouraged,  and  a  cry  goea 
out  from  our  hearts  that  hundreds  of  young  women,  the  best  our  land 
affords,  would  devote  their  lives  to  the  salvation  of  unfortunate  girls.  We 
that  are  engaged  in  the  work  surely  see  and  recognise  the  need  of  such 
work  being  done,  and  if  the  best  work  is  accomplished  the  humanitarian 
methods  that  will  prove  effectual  muat  be  ushered  in  in  all  their  fullness,  that 
such  ones  may  be  saved  from  the  influence  of  their  own  misdeeds  and  in- 
herited defects. 

In  conclusion,  I  desire  to  say  that  the  last  biennium  has  been  one  of  steady 
growth  and  prosperity.  Our  institution  is  on  stronger  footing  to-day  as  an 
institution  of  reform  than  at  any  previous  period.  Our  girls  have  higher 
ideala,  peace  reigns  in  our  midst,  and  our  energies  are  being  expended  in 
well-directed  lines  to  bring  even  better  conditions  to  pass. 

To  you,  aa  a  Board,  I  desire  to  express  my  appreciation  for  the  interest 
you  have  always  manif eeted  in  furthering  the  good  of  the  work  and  your  con- 
stant and  loyal  aupport.  Respectfully  submitted, 

Julia  B.  Firry, 
Superintendent.

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT. 


To  th«  Slate  Board  of  Cwtrol:  -.  •> 

Gbntlbhbn— I  hove  the  honor  of  submittinft  for  jrour  conaideration  th« 
eiEhteenth  bienDial  report  of  the  Kensfts  School  for  the  Blind. 

REALTR  OF  PUPILS. 

There  have  been  no  deaths  in  the  School  during  the  bfennium,  and  the 
genrrai  health  of  the  pupils  baa  been  better  than  for  several  years.  We 
think  this  condition  in  a  measure  ie  due  to  the  interest  awakened  in  outdoor 
play  and  to  the  lengthened  periods  of  gymnasium  and  field  exercises  taken 
by  all  pupils  in  regular  gymnasium  suits  and  followed  by  a  daily  shower 
bath. 

SANITARY  CONDITIONS. 

The  sanitary  conditiMis  are  good.  The  ventilation  bas  been  much  im- 
proved during  the  bienninm,  Tranloma  have  been  placed  above  many  doors, 
the  old  flues  formerly  used  to  conduct  indirect  heat  have  been  arranged  aa 
ventilation  flues,  and  with  the  aid  of  skylight  ventilators  on  third  floor  the 
«ntire  main  building  ie  now  in  very  good  condition  with  regard  to  ventila- 
tion. The  common  drinking  cap  has  been  dispented  with  and  four  sanitary 
drinking  fountains  installed,  two  in  the  main  buiklitig  and  two  in  the  school 
building.  The  common  wiping  towel  has  alao  been  displaced,  and  each  child 
has  hia  own  individual  towel  in  a  place  easily  accessible.  The  bath  and 
toilet  rcoms  for  the  pupils  have  also  been  equipped  wiib  ranitary  liquid  soap 
diahee.  This  is  a  very  convenient  arrangement  for  blind  people,  and  pr«^ 
venta  the  spread  of  skin  diseases.  The  toilet  rooms  in  the  girls'  side  of  tha 
main  bulldbig  have  b«en  rearranged,  which,  with  new  equipment,  has  im- 
proved them  very  much.    The  water  supply  ia  excellent. 

FIRE  DRILU 

starting  with  all  the  pupils  in  their  dormitories,  the  building  can  be 
emptied  in  forty-five  seconds,  if  all  use  the  flre  escapes.  If  part  of  the 
pupils  use  the  fire  escapes  and  others  use  the  stairways,  the  building  can 
be  emptied  in  leea  time. 

PROGRESS  OF  PUPILS. 

During  the  past  two  years  the  pr<«re8S  of  the  pupila  baa  been  ateady 
and  satisfactory.  The  number  of  failures  to  pass  grade  or  do  acceptable 
work  ia  small. 

PRACTICAL  EFFICIENCY  OF  PUPILS. 

It  ia  difficult  for  the  public  in  general  to  understand  how  much  the  sight- 
less can  really  accomplish  in  a  practical  way.  During  the  bienninm  the  giria 
have  manufactured  76  pillow  caaea,  68  aprona,  Zl  sheets,  194  towels,  24  nap- 
kina,  17  curtaina,  17  bibs.  In  addition  to  this  they  have  done  a  great  deal 
of  work,  as  indicated  in  other  parts  of  this  report.  The  boys  have  manu- 
factured aloyd  articles,  ropes,  nets,  hammocka,  caned  chairs  for  the  School, 
and  made  840  dozen  brooms,  which  ne  have  sold  to  the  other  state  institu-

tiooB.  The  boya  hmve  also  kept  our  pianoe  tuoed  and  repaired.  It  is  very 
gratifying  to  leam  that  our  girla  are  more  akiilful  in  houaehold  tailu,  more 
willing  to  uodertaJte  a  difficult  worli  and  happier  in  all  things  becania  of 
their  training  here.  That  our  bcya,  especially  soina  of  our  recent  graduates, 
are  following  trades  learned  here  with  marked  success— some  as  broom 
makers,  some  as  salesmen  and  several  as  piano  tuners  and  repairers.

Kansas  School  for  the  Blind.  181 

Thew  recorda  were  nude  with  a  view  of  entarinK  our  School  in  the 
lational  Athletic  AaaociatioD  of  the  Schools  for  the  Blind.  Sucteen  schooli 
iarticipate  in  this  conteat.  Trained  physical  directors  are  employed  in  the 
astern  achooU.  Where  tried,  the  new'play  policy  for  the  blind  has  resulted 
1  a  dimination  of  slckoesa  and  an  increase  in  the  effectivenesa  of  school 
rork.  In  the  Kentucky  school,  with  trained  physical  directors  to  conduct 
ymnasiam  and  flekl  work,  there  has  been  practically  no  sicknees  among 
tie  pupils  for  the  past  two  yeara.  The  need  anuHig  the  blind  for  such 
raining  is  even  greater  than  for  public-school  pupils.  We  recommend 
efficient  appropriation  to  employ  trained  physical  directors  for  our  School 
nd  an  appropriation  of  }1000  to  be  used  in  leveling  and  equipping  the 
ortheast  comer  of  the  ground  for  an  athletic  field.  The  present  urange- 
lents  are  wholly  inadequate  oa  account  of  the  uneven  and  sloping  surface 
( tbegrouoda. 

SPECIAL  DAYS  AND  PROGRAH8. 

Special  progranu  suitable  for  the  days  upon  which  tbey  occur,  inch  as 
hanksffiving,  Christmas,  Kansas  Day,  Washington's  Birthday,  Arbor  Day, 
ic.,  are  given  by  the  pupils,  and  prove  both  pleasant  and  profitable.  One 
eneral  school  program  and  one  corameocement  program  are  given  each 
Bar,  to  which  the  public  is  invited. 

PROBLEUS  OF  EDUCATION. 

In  considering  the  welfare  of  the  blind,  the  problem  of  their  higher 
lueation  is  a  very  important  one,  and  is  receiving  much  attention  from 
ten  who  have  Andied  the  question  from  every  angle. 

The  School  for  the  Blind  should  and  does  lay  the  foundation  for  an  edu- 
ition,  aecuring  to  the  pupils  who  attend  a  mastery  of  the  special  devices 
Measary  to  obtain  knowledge.  However,  after  having  mastered  these 
ivicea  and  received  several  years'  training  here,  I  think  every  encourage- 
ent  shouM  be  given  to  induce  our  pupils  to  acquire  a  higher  education 
nong  seeing  people.  As  it  is  among  the  sighted  that  they  must  succeed 
'  fail,  th^  ought  not  to  postpone  entering  the  seeing  world  until  maturity. 
at  so  long  as  there  is  no  provision  made  to  enable  them  to  enter  schools 
'  higher  learning,  even  ihe  capable  and  ambitious  ones,  who  might  gain 
Imminence  and  honor  and  serve  as  powerful  incentives  to  their  less  gifted 
illowB,  return  year  after  year  to  the  easy,  sheltered  life  of  this  School, 
lua  patting  off  grappling  with  the  problem  which  they  must  sooner  or  later 
ice— that  is,  toflnd  a  way  to  circumvent  the  limitations  which  blindneea  ine- 
tablyimpoqee  npontbem.  Ithereforeeamestlyrecommeiidtlwtthepolicy 
'.  New  York  state  be  given  your  careful  consideration.  By  the  terms  of  the 
ew  Yock  law  a  graduate  of  the  state  school,  on  recommendation  of  the 
aoaffing  board,  is  given  (800  per  snnum  out  of  the  state  treasury  to  pay 
v  a  reader  for  him.  This  bill  must  be  approved  by  the  i»eaident  of  the 
illege,  who  certifies  to  the  attendance  and  the  acceptability  of  the  college 
oric.  Such  a  .law  simply  furnishes  a  student  a  pair  of  eyes  and  places 
m  on  a  par  with  the  seeing  student.  The  enactment  of  such  a  law  would 
>t  be  burdensome  to  the  state,  for  there  would  be  cmnparatively  few  to 
ike  advantage  of  it.  It  would,  however,  have  a  great  inspirational  effect 
1  the  education  of  the  blind,  and  the  worthy  could  then  be  given  the  sd-

yaatagea  of  a  higher  education.  I  am  convinced  that  Uiie  policy  would  work 
SreRt  good  to  the  blind. 

1  feel  that  the  tendency  to  do  altogether  too  many  things  for  our  pnpila, 
and  ^ve  them  altogether  too  few  opportunitiea  to  learn  by  doing,  conati- 
tates  a  weakness  in  oar  system  of  educating  tha  blind  that  ahould  receive 
careful  consideration.  Some  are  deprived  of  the  home  tasks  that  wise 
parents  always  require  their  children  to  perfonn;  while  other,  who  throagb 
mistaken  kindness  have  been  shielded  to  their  own  hurt,  here  find  a  con- 
genial atmosphere  where  all  disagreeable  tasks  are  done  for  them.  There 
is  a  splendid  discipline  and  an  essential  development  to  strong  character  in 
being  made  responsible  for  certain  assigned  duties  necessary  for  the  general 
welfare,  no  matter  how  unpleasant  or  disagreeable  they  may  be.  At  pres- 
ent our  pupils  are  required  to  perform  the  fallowing  tasks: 

All  pupils  must  make  their  own  beds.  The  younger  ones,  of  course,  need 
the  help  of  the  supervisor  for  some  time.  The  girls,  under  the  direction  of 
the  teacher  of  sewinfr,  darn  their  own  stockings,  make  moat  of  the  linen  re* 
quired  in  the  household,  such  as  sheets,  pillow  slips,  tablecloths,  napkini, 
bibs,  tea  towels,  and  their  own  aprons  for  use  in  the  domestic  science  de- 
partment. The  larger  girts  all  bave,  by  their  beds,  rugs  which  they  are 
required  to  keep  clean.  Both  boys  and  girls  are  divided  into  groups,  and 
each  group  or  set  of  monitors^-equired  to  see  that  all  sitting-room  furniture 
is  placed  in  proper  position  after  pupils  leave  the  rooms  for  study  or  at 
night.  Aside  from  making  their  own  beds,  the  boys  help  in  keeping  the 
broom  shop  in  order  and  taking  clotbea  to  laundry.  All  time  not  required 
for  other  duties  is  given  in  the  broom  shop  by  the  boys  who  desire  extra 
employment.  There  are  other  duties  which  1  feel  our  pupils  might  profit- 
ably be  required  to  assume,  yet  I  am  compelled  to  withhold  these  helpful 
chuiges  because  of  circumstances  over  which  I  have  no  control,  namely, 
retaining  my  present  teachers  if  I  increase  their  duties,  or  securing  addi- 
tional teachers  with  the  present  salary  shf  dole. 

When  dealing  with  a  limited  number  of  pupils  such  »s  we  have  here  for 
a  period  of  years,  it  is  not  a  difllcult  task  to  discover  the  peculiar  bent  of 
the  child's  mind  for  any  given  kind  of  work.  I  am  convinced  we  have  some 
pupils  who  are  not  able  to  seciire  much  permanent  good  by  being  compelled 
to  complete  the  entire  high-school  course,  whereas  if  they  were  allowed  to 
follow  couraes  planned  with  consideration  for  their  abilities  and  limitations 
the  results  would  be  far  more  satisfactory. 

SELIOIOUS  SERVICE. 

Believing  that  true  education  embraces  the  development  of  pur  threefold 
natures,  namely,  the  physical,  the  mental  and  the  moral,  effort  has  been 
made  to  inculcate  these  principles  of  morality  without  which  no  life  can  be 
called  a  success.  The  religious  teaching  in  the  School  is  nons&ctariaa,  bat 
care  is  taken  to  teach  those  things  that  all  churches  agree  are  cardinal  and 
essential.  Chapel  exercises  are  held  during  the  week.  The  Sunday  exer- 
cises consist  of  Sunday  school  in  the  morning,  preaching  in  the  afternoon 
and  a  young  people's  meeting  in  the  evening.  The  Sunday  preaching  serv- 
ice has  been  conducted  the  past  two  years  by  Rev.  Wm.  fi'oulkes,  pastor  of 
the  Grandview  Presbyterian  church ;  Rev.  Clyde  Clay  Cissell,  paator  of  the 
Washington  Avenue  Uethodist  church ;  Rev.  L,  G.  Morony,  paator  of  St. 
Paul  Episcopal  church;  Rev.  F.  G.  Beardsley,  pastor  of  the  First  Coi^re-

KStional  church,  and  Hr.  A.  G.  Pe«Tson,  Y.  H.  C.  A.  secreUry,  Kurni 
City,  Eui.  These  men  have  been  pleased  to  bring  their  beat  m«aa»gem  to 
the  household  of  our  ioBtitution,  and  their  servicea  have  been  highly  satis- 
factory. 

THE  ADULT  BUND. 

In  thia  connection  we  wish  to  call  attention  to  pages  28  and  24  in  our 
last  biennial  report.  The  case  of  the  person  who  becomes  blind  in  middle 
life  or  later  in  life  is  truly  pitiablfi.  The  firat  shock  is  one  of  nervous,  and 
hoDce  physical,  proatration.  Later  the  question  arises.  What  can  I  do? 
We  have  numerous  letters  from  many  residents  of  Kansas  along  this  line. 
All  we  can  do  at  present  is  to  write  a  suggestive  letter,  send  an  alphabet 
sheet  and  furnish  a  few  other  helps.  During  the  hiennium  our  school  has 
been  of  material  assistance  to  five  men  who  became  blind  late  in  life. 

Clifford  Barnes,  of  Atchison,  an  adult,  learned  the  broom  trade,  and  also 
learned  to  tie  hammocks  and^flynets.     He  reports  that  he  is  doii%  well  now. 

L.  W.  Vertrees,  of  Ksnsas  City,  learned  the^same  trades. 

John  McAllister,  of  Topeka,  learned  the  same  trades.  He  is  running  a 
broom  shop  of  his  own  and  can  sell  more  brooms  than  he  can  make. 

J.  E.  Kemp,  of  Cottonwood  Palb,  learned  the  same  trades.  He  also  had 
his  eyes  operated  on  while  at  the  institution,  regaining  his  sight  in  one  eye^ 
He  left  us  last  spring^very  happy. 

W.  C.  Hutchinson,  of  Hutchinson,  has  taken  part  of  a  year  in  tuning. 
He  has  also  learned  to  read  and  write  the  point  system  and  handle  the  type- 
writer with  a  fair  degree  of  efficiency. 

In  our  state  there  are  many  who  because  of  ignorance  of  the  School,  its 
scope  and  purpose,  do  not  come  to  us  as  early  as  they  ought.  And  because 
of  this  delay  they  remain  with  us  years  after  they  ought  to  be  out  in  the 
aeeing  world.  It  seems  to  me  thatwe  will  never  reach  the  ones  we  ought  to 
have  here  until  we  have  a  field  agent  such  as  is  found  so  helpful  in  the  Eastern 
schools.  With  all  their  matchless  equipment,  they  never  had  enough  pupils 
to  All  their  schools  until  this  policy  was  adopted.  Now  tbey  have  long  wait- 
ing lists.  AtOverbrook,  Pa.,  a  blind,  one-armed  man,  who  was  entirely 
familiar  with  the  School,  its  purpose  and  policy,  was  sent  out  over  the  state 
to  find  all  eligible  blind  and  report  them  to  the  school  office.  He  was  also 
of  great  assistance  to  the  adult  blind  of  his  state  who  were  not  eligible  to 
the  School.     We  feel  that  more  shouM  be  done  for  the  adult  blind. 

STATISTICS  AS  TO  CAU8B  OF  BLINDNESS. 

The  American  Association  of  Instructors  of  the  Blind  has  had  under  con- 
sideration  for  the  past  two  years  the  preparation  of  a  blank  showing  the 
cause  of  blindness  of  all  pupils  in  our  free  residential  schools.  The  com- 
mittee having  this  work  in  charge  coSperated  with  the  Russell  Sage  Founda- 
tion of  New  York  to  draft  a  blank  that  wonU  be  complete  in  all  its  details. 
This  blank  has  bewi  completed,  and  it  is  the  hope  of  the  association  as  well 
as  the  Russell  Sage  Foundation  that  all  schools  will  complete  these  statis- 
tics. I  hope  we  will  be  able  to  carry  out  this  work  during  the  next  year. 
These  statistics,  compiled  from  all  schools,  would  be  very  valuable  to  all 
societies  waging  campaigns  for  the  prevention  of  blindness.

PER  CAPITA  COST. 

Id  comparing  the  flnancikl  atAtementB  of  the  last  two  biennial  reports 
with  former  reports,  it  would  seem  that  there  has  been  a  large  increase  in 
the  per  capita  coat  of  the  institution.  This  seeininK  increase  is  due  largely 
to  charging  the  school  with  the  coat  of  printing  done  by  the  state  printing 
plant,  and  with  the  price  of  coal  received  fmni  the  Stat«  Penitentiarj. 
which  was  not  dcme  in  former  reports.  In  consideriiiff  the  per  capita  cost 
for  the  fiscal  jrear  ending  June  80,  1912,  we  call  atUntion  to  the  fact  that 
the  sum  of  }2S5  from  the  maintenance  ind  repairs  account  waa  spent  for 
broom  material.  The  broom  product,  when  sold,  will  be  turned  into  the 
fees  account.  Hence  this  sum  of  $2.83  per  capita  shoaM  not  be  charged 
against  actual  cost;  but  in  determining  actual  per  capita  cost  the  sum  of 
12.88  should  be  deducted  from  the  cost  as  shown  in  the  tables. 

IHPKOVBHENTS  HADE. 

During  the  biennium  we  have  excavated  and  equipped  two  excellent 
dressing  rooms  under  the  School  building,  installed  shower  heads  in  the 
adjoining  toilet  rooms,  and  provided  all  pupils  with  gymnasium  suits. 

We  have  lengthened  the  gymnasium  period  from  one-half  hour  to  one 
hour  daily,  and  stimulated  interest  in  all  physical  activity  inside  the  gym- 
nasium and  on  the  outside  apparatus,  with  a  marked  improvement  in  the 
physical  condition  and  general  deportment  of  our  pupils. 

We  have  equipped  the  hospital  baaement  as  a  domestic  science  depart- 
ment. Two  rooms  are  used  as  cooking  and  serving  rooms  and  one  aa  an 
ironing  room.  The  work  in  this  department  has  added  a  great  deal  of 
interest  and  pleasure  as  well  as  profit  to  the  girls  of  our  school. 

In  each  wing  of  the  main  building  the  old,  steep,  dark  stairways  leading 
from  the  second  to  the  third  floors  have  been  displaced  by  easy,  conveniently 
located  and  well-lighted  stairways.  All  modem  toilet  facilities,  including 
shower-bath  equipment,  have  been  installed  on  all  dormitory  floors  of  the 
main  building.  The  entire  heating  plant  has  been  overhauled  during  the 
biennium  and  a  new  system  installed,  thereby  bringing  the  heating  of  the 
main  building  up  to  modem  standarda. 

A  brick  wall  has  been  removed  from  the  south  wing  in  both  first  and 
second  floors,  thus  enlarging  the  halls,  which  were  very  narrow,  and  allow- 
ing space  for  a  sitting  room  on  the  second  floor. 

The  pupils'  dining  room  has  been  much  beautified  by  the  removal  of  the 
unsightly  boxes  necessitated  by  the  discarded  system  of  heating,  aod  the 
displacement  of  the  old,  worn-out  window  sills  and  wainscot  for  fine  cement 
finish,  enameled  in  white. 

.  All  the  pupils'  sitting  rooms  have  been  greatly  improved  during  the  bi- 
ennium by  the  addition  of  carpets,  sash  curtains  and  a  libwal  ose  of  paint 
and  vamiah. 

Prom  the  basement  to  the  first  floor  and  from  the  first  floor  to  the  see- 
osd  floor  on  the  boys'  side  of  the  main  building  there  have  been  put  in  fine 
steel  stairways,  replacing  the  old,  worn-ont  ones  which  have  been  used 
since  the  building  was  first  builL  These  new  ones  are  fireproof  and  very 
fine.

GBNniBMBN— 1  have  ths  honor  to  submit  to  you  the  eiKhteenth  biennial 
report  of  th«  KMnana  School  for  the  Demf,  covering  the  period  from  July  1, 
1910,  to  Jaly  1,  1912. 

Daring  this  biennium  286  pupils  have  been  enrolled,  being  exactly  the 
mme  enrollment  of  the  preceding  biennium.  Of  these  160  were  boys  and 
126  were  girls.  Thirty-four  were  new  pupils  who  were  admitted  during  the 
paat  year.  Thir^  of  those  enrolled  during  the  first  year  did  not  return  last 
year,  for  the  following  reasons:  Seven  moved  out  of  the  state;  six  reached 
the  age  of  twenty-one  and  quit  to  go  to  work;  two  deceased;  one  married; 
three  were  kept  at  home  to  work;  two  [were  transferred  to  the  Home  for 
Feeble-minded  Youth  at  Wtnfleld;  four  (two  colored)  were  graduated,  in 
1911;  three  were  kept  out  on  account  of  sickness  at  home;  one  was  sent  to 
the  Reformatory,  while  at  home,  for  forgery;  and  one  from  Pottawatomie 
county  did  not  return  (reaaon  unknown).  During  t))e  past  year  there  was 
an  increase  of  four  in  enrollment  over  the  preceding  year.  Nine  were 
awarded  diplomas  of  graduation  on  Hay  24,  1912. 

The  several  counties  of  the  state  have  been  represented  in  this  School 
during  the  past  two  years  as  follows:

Kansas  School  for  the  Deaf. 


This  School  is  located  fn  the  thriTing  county  seat  of  Johnson  county, 
which  is  one  of  the  healthiest  counties  in  the  state.  The  president  of  the 
board  of  health  of  the  city  of  Olathe  ia  our  school  physician.  There  is 
probably  not  a  healthier  location  in  the  state  for  a  school  of  this  kind. 
Daring  the  winter  of  19I0'-11,  scarlet  fever  was  brought  into  the  school  by 
some  of  UiH  papila  who  went  home,  and  an  epidemic  followed,  which  not 
only  emphasized  our  need  of  a  hospital  building,  but  also  for  the  second 
time  in  two  years  proved  that  it  was  unwise  to  permit  any  of  the  pupils  to 
KG  home  at  that  time  of  year,  on  account  of  the  epidemics  which  followed. 
Last  winter  only  six  pupils  went  home  for  Christrnaa,  and  I  am  pleased  to 
say  that  five  of  thtm  were  fully  justified  in  going,  there  being  a  special 
reason  in  each  eM«  for  granting  special  permission.  Therefore  the  past 
year  has  been  the  most  sacceBsfnl  year  froaa  evaryatuidpmiit.  aince  we  haw 
had  very  little  sickness  and  no  epidemics  of  any  kind.  One  death  from 
pneumonia  followed  the  scarlet  fever  epidemic^that  of  little  Thelma  Creiti, 
of  Beloit,  on  February  6,  1911.  Another  death  from  mastoid  abseees  oc* 
curred  on  April  32,  1912 — that  of  Verl  Selby,  of  Kingman,  after  being  con- 
fined cmly  three  days  in  the  hospital,  although  he  had  been  afflicted  with 
mastoid  trouble  for  several  years. 

EDUCATIONAL  DEPARTMENT. 

The  recent  le^lalure  recognized  our  claim  that  we  should  be  listed  and 
r«eognlaed  as  an  educational  institution,  which  we  ar«  in  fact  and  always 
have  been,  as  the  School  was  estahlished  for  the  education  of  the  deaf  and 
haa  no  other  excuse  for  its  existence.  Any  other  classiflcation  is  not  only  a 
misnomer  but  an  injustice  to  the  deaf  of  the  state— an  injustice  undoubtedly 
due  to  the  ignorance  or  indifference  on  the  part  of  many  well-meaning  per- 
sons toward  the  welfare  of  the  deaf.  The  deaf  do  not  want  sympathy  nor 
charity.  All  that  they  need  is  an  education,  and  an  opportunity.  Our 
graduates  compare  favorably  with  high-school  graduates  throughout  the 
state  and  are  useful  and  respected  citizens  in  their  respective  commnnitiea, 
as  our  list  of  graduates,  printed  elsewhere  in  this  report,  together  with 
their  home  addressee  and  present  occupations,  easily  proves. 

The  educational  instruction  compiises  two  distinct  deparlments,  known 
as  the  manual  and  the  oral.  This  plan  is  called  the  combine^  system. 
Each  pwpil  that  enters  our  School  is  given  a  chance  during  his  first  year  to 
learn  speech  and  lip-reading.  If  sufficient  progreps  is  made  to  justify  it,  he 
is  retained  in  the  oral  department  throughout  the  entire  course.  Otherwise 
he  is  placed  in  a  manual  class.  In  the  manual  department  the  medium  of 
communication  is  finger- spelling  and  writing.  "Signs"  are  not  taught  in 
any  of  our  classes,  nor  do  we  have  any  "Mgn  classes."  The  pupils  are 
taught  the  English  language  and  how  to  use  it.  We  do  not  encourage  the 
use  of  signs,  except  in  chapel  services  or  at  public  gatherings,  where  finger- 
spelling,  writing  and  lip-reading  would  be  too  difficult.  The  educated  deaf 
throughout  the  country  are  practically  unanimous  in  supporting  the  com- 
bined system  of  instruction.  This  seems  to  me  to  be  fair  and  reasonable, 
as  we  find  some  pupils  each  year  who  do  not  seem  to  be  capable  of  grasping 
instruction  by  the  oral  method,  just  as  some  normal  children  are  not  capable 
of  learning  to  play  the  piano  well.  Then  why  should  we  persist  in  teaching 
them  something  that  they  have  no  liking  or  talent  for,  when  their  talents

or  natural  inclinations  extend  in  other  directionsT  It  is  impoaaible  to  te«cb 
a  child  a^inat  hia  will.  If  the  desire  i?  not  there  and  the  teacher  ia  unable 
to  create  in  him  a  desire  for  apeech  and  lip-readinK,  it  ia  a  waate  of  time 
and  energy  to  continue  such  a  child  in  the  oral  department.  It  ia  no  reflec- 
tion upon  the  pupil's  intellect  to  be  in  the  manual  department.  The  tbI- 
edictorian  of  tbe  class  of  1912  was  educated  wholly  by  the  manual  method. 

Every  deaf  person  is  happier  for  his  knowledge  of  the  sign  language,  and 
we  have  no  desire  to  deprive  him  of  its  use,  except  in  the  sphoolroom. 
Mora  than  half  of  our  pupils  are  in  oral  classes. 

A  class  of  nine  was  graduated  in  1912,  three  of  them  from  the  ao-called 
regular  course  and  six  from  the  advanced  course.  Those  in  the  latter 
course  have  taken  all  branches  necessary  for  admission  to  the  preparatory 
class  at  Gallaudet  College,  while  the  others  who  were  not  expecting  to  take 
up  any  advanced  work  were  permitted  to  substitute  for  Latin  and  algebra. 

Our  course  of  study  comprisea  all  the  branches  usually  taught  in  the 
public  schools,  including  the  first  two  years  in  high  school.  When  the  pupils 
have  completed  our  course  of  study  satisfactorily  and  have  passed  the 
entrance  examinations  to  Gallaudet  Gallege  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  they 
may  be  admitted  to  the  preparatory  class,  and  after  five  years  of  study 
complete  the  collie  course  and  receive  the  bachelor's  degree. 

INDUSTRIAL  DEPART UENT. 

"There  is  no  struggle  in  the  history  of  education  more  heroic  than  the 
emancipation  of  the  deaf,"  aaya  Collier' g  Weekly,  and  there  is  no  broader 
highway  nor  more  stable  footing  for  the  straggler  toward  that  emancipa- 
tion than  may  be  found  along  the  avenuea  of  industrial  education. 

Our  school  day  is  so  divided  that  all  pupils  who  are  old  enough  spend 
one-third  of  the  day  in  the  industrial  shops,  so  that  the  essentials  of  a  use- 
ful trade  may  be  learned  and  the  physical  powers  developed  along  with  the 

Pupils  are  instructed  in  (»rpentry,  cabinetmaking,  printing,  shoemaking, 
harness  making,  baking,  art  and  free-hand  drawing,  laundering  and  domestic 
science  and  art,  such  as  cooking,  plain  sewing,  dressmaking  and  fancy 
needlework.  Some  of  tbe  boys  assist  on  tbe  farm  and  garden  and  the  girls 
help  in  ihe  general  housework. 

There  are  two  other  trades  that  should  be  introduced  aa  soon  as  we  have 
funds  available  for  the  purpose,  viz.,  painting  and  agriculture.  The  latter 
is  especially  desirable,  inasmuch  as  the  majority  of  our  boys  come  from  tbe 
farm  and  will  undoubtedly  return  to  the  farm  if  properly  instructed  in  that 
line.  In  this  connection,  with  your  kind  permission,  I  should  like  to  add 
as  a  part  of  thib  report  a  most  excellent  address  on  "Agricultural  Educa- 
tion for  the  Deaf,"  delivered  in  our  chapel  by  special  invitation  of  the 
superintendent,  on  March  23,  1912,  to  the  advanced  classes  of  the  School  by 
one  of  our  own  graduates. 

HANNERS  AND  MORALS. 

k.i  has  been  stated  in  former  reports,  the  School  discipline  is  good. 
Pupils  are  taught  to  respect  authority  and  are  encouraged  by  wholesome 
advice,  from  teachers  and  officers  alike,  in  right  ways  of  living  and  nobility 
of  character. 

Generally  our  pupils  respond  willingly,  so  that  by  kindness  and  flrmnecs 
there  is  seldom  need  for  punishment.     We  insist  that  pupils  remain  in  th«

diaeipHne  uid  order  of  the  Mhoolroom  work  utd  endmoger  the  whole  school

SALARIES. 

Cuttora  and  experince  prove  that  all  teachers  and  employees  should 
be  emplojed  under  a  gradually  increasing  scale  of  wages.  Experience 
counts  for  so  much  in  teaching  and  caring  for  the  deaf  that  even  the  moot 
SDccessfnl  teachers  in  public-school  work  are  helpless  among  the  deaf.  It 
requires  special  training  and  several  years  of  mingling  and  workinit  with 
the  deaf  to  make  realty  successful  teachers.  Therefore,  strictly  as  a  busi- 
ness proposition,  it  does  not  pay  the  state  to  hire  cheap,  inexperienced 
teachers  nor  to  obtain  new  ones  every  year.  Teachers  of  experience  and 
ability  are  sought  by  superintendents  of  similar  schools  all  over  the  country. 
Therefore,  in  order  to  secure  or  retain  good  teachers,  we  must  pay  salaries 
in  proportion  to  those  in  similar  schools  in  other  states. 

CHANGES  IN  OUR  FACULTY. 

We  lose  both  of  our  hearing  men  this  year  for  the  reason,  aa  I  am  ad- 
vised, that  the  two  are  to  receive  about  $600  per  year  more  salary  else-  - 
where  than  our  maximum  paid  to  men.  It  seems  to  me  that  this  is  the 
etrongeat  argument  that  could  be  produced  in  favor  of  raising  the  maxi- 
mum. It  should  be  fixed  not  lower  than  $1200  A  man  properly  equipped 
who  is  not  worth  that  much  is  not  worth  anything.  If  he  earns  it  it  should 
be  paid  to  him,  and  if  he  does  not  he  should  be  fired. 

REPAIRS  AND  IMPROVEMENTS. 

The  appropriations  made  at  tbe  last  session  of  the  legislature  have  been 
and  are  being  judiciously  expended  for  the  purpofes  designated,  and  are 
very  satisfactory  and  are  thoroughly  appreciated.  I  may  be  pardoned  for 
calling  attention  to  one  point  that  our  ways  and  means  committees  seem 
to  have  overlooked.  The  appropriation  of  fBOO  per  year  for  repairs  and 
improvements  may  have  been  adequate  for  all  needs  when  the  buildings 
were  new,  but  some  of  them  are  now  twenty,  thirty,  and  even  forty  years  old, 
and  therefore  require  more  repairing  inordertokeepthemingood  condition, 
but  the  appropriation  still  remains  the  same.  There  has  been  no  increase 
in  this  fund  for  a  great  many  years.  This  amount  should  be  doubled.  We 
should  have  at  least  $3000  per  year,  or  $6000  for  the  biennium,  for  repairs, 

MAINTENANCE. 

Owing  to  the  increased  cost  of  food  products  and  practically  all  other 
materials,  one-half  of  our  appropriation  for  maintenance,  which  was  not  in- 
creased over  the  amount  granted  for  the  preceding  biennium,  was  all  gone 
in  leas  than  ten  months.  All  expenditures  were  msde  with  the  utmost  care 
and  economy,  and  had  it  not  been  for  our  fee  account  it  would  have  been 
impossible  to  have  gone  through  the  year.  We  sold  off  our  hogs,  and  were 
thus  able  to  squeeze  through.  What  if  all  of  our  hogs  had  died?  We 
should  probably  have  been  compelled  to  close  School  a  month  earlier. 
I  do  not  believe  that  the  legislature  would  permit  us  to  live  from  "hand  to 
mouth  "in  this  way,  for  if  the  facts  were  known  our  appropriation  for  main- 
tenance would  be  sufficiently  increased.    What  if  we  had  a  few  dollars  more

than  were  actually  needed  7  The  state  would  loa*  nothing,  aa  all  money  not 
uaed  would  go  back  to  the  state.  Therefore  I  inniat  that  our  appropriati'  n 
e  be  increased  to  tGO.OOO  for  the  bienniam.

tion of  the  board  are  as  follows: 

The  organization  most  fill  a  need  which  is  not  already  filled  by  another

278  Fourth  Biennial  Report,  Board  of  Control 

The  need  must  be  great  enough  to  warrant  the  equipment  and  support  of 
a  Bepamte  institution. 

The  institution  must  be  efficient.  Whether  or  not  it  accomplishes  "some 
good"  is  not  the  proper  test.  The  result  secured  must  in  some  degjee  be 
commensurate  nith  the  amount  of  money  and  energy  expended. 

All  charitable  organizations  must  coitpente  with  other  organizatioDs  to 
prevent  duplication  of  effort  and  promote  efficiency  and  economy  in  the 
administration  of  charities. 

Some  form  of  annual  report  must  be  made  and  turned  in. 

Proper  and  business-like  accounts  must  be  kept  showing  the  income  &■ 
well  as  all  outlays,  and  these  should  be  audited  at  regular  intervals. 


FOREIGN  CHILDREN'S  CORPORATIONS. 

Section  E090,  Ueneral  St«tutes  of  1909,  the  same  being  section  15,  chap- 
ter 106  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1901,  prohibits  foreign  corporations  from 
placing  children  in  family  homes  within  the  boundaries  of  the  state  of  Kan- 
sas, unless  they  furnish  the  State  Board  with  such  guaranty  as  they  may 
require  that  no  child  will  be  brought  into  the  state  having  any  contagious 
or  incurable  disease,  or  having  any  deformity,  or  being  of  feeble  mind  or 
vicious  character,  and  tbat  they  will  receive  and  remove  from  the  state  any 
child  which  shall  become  a  public  charge  within  a  period  of  five  yeara.  The 
latter  part  of  section  1,  chapter  861,  Laws  of  1903  (section  5065,  Gen.  SUt. 
1909),  provides: 

"No  probate  court  shall  permit  the  adoption  of  any  minor  child  sent  into 
this  state  by  or  through  or  under  the  auspices  of  any  association,  society 
or  organization  incorporated  under  the  laws  or  having  its  headquarters  in 
any  other  state  until,  in  addition  to  all  the  other  rcquirementa  of  this  sec- 
tion, all  the  provisions  of  section  15,  chapter  106,  Session  Laws  of  1901, 
shall  have  been  fully  complied  with." 

The  State  Board  requires  foreign  children's  associations  to  execute  a 
bond  to  the  state  of  Kansas  in  the  sum  of  110,000,  and  three  have  furnished 
the  bond,  the  New  York  Foundling  Hospital,  and  the  Children's  Aid  Society 
of  New  York,  and  the  National  Benevolent  Association  of  the  Christian 
Church,  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Missouri.  These  are  the  only  for- 
eign children's  associations  that  have  the  right  to  do  a  regular  business  of 
placing  children  in  Kansas.  Five  others  have  placed  one  or  two  children 
each  in  the  state  and  given  bonds  to  protect  the  state  for  each  individual 
child.

6  Kansas  Free  Employment  Bureau. 

last  summer,  the  Director  sent  a  letter  simiiiar  to  the  followinif 
to  the  proper  official  in  each  of  the  great  wheat  growing  states : 

"Dkak  Sik — I  am  writing  to  the  different  great  vheat  growing  states, 
and  asking  the  oflicialB  having  charge  of  free  employment  to  send  me  any 
literature  they  may  have  bearing  on  their  metitode  of  handling  the  har- ' 
vest-hand  question.  I  am  asking  them  to  let  me  know  by  iriiat  methods 
they  ascertain  the  number  of  hands  required  during  harvest  in  th«r 
state,  and  any  other  infonnation  bearing  on  tiie  subject.  My  idea  is  ia 
compare  notea  with  one  another  and  have  each  state  assist  the  other. 
Oklahoma,  for  instance,  starts  her  harvest,  possibly  a  week  or  so  earlier 
than  Kansas.  The  men  starting  in  that  state  often  follow  up  the  harvest 
into  Kansas  and  through  to  MebraBka  and  the  two  Dakotas  and  Minnesota. 
An  interchange  of  information  as  to  dates  of  harvest  and  where  hands 
may  be  most  needed  by  the  various  states,  it  seems  to  me,  would  greatly 
assist  in  this  work. 

Hoping  to  hear  from  you  in  the  near  future,  I  am 

Yours  truly,  Charles  Habris,  Director." 

Replies  were  received  from  every  state.  But  not  a  single 
one  reported  any  method  as  being  utilized  to  ascertain  the 
needs  of  the  farmer. 

One  state  official  frankly  admitted  that  his  state  largely  re- 
lied on  harvest  hands  coming  to  the  state  after  Kansas  had 
gathered  her  crop. 

Another  state  official  asserted  that  he  made  no  effort  to 
gather  the  information  because  of  lack  of  funds,  he  being 
allowed  a  fund  of  only  $10,000  to  run  the  State  Free  Employ- 
ment Bureau,  with  branches  in  three  diflferent  cities. 

Yet  the  Kansas  Bureau,  with  a  fund  of  only  $2,200  (in- 
cluding salary  and  contingent  fund) ,  does  this  work  thoroughly 
and  effectively  every  year. 

In  Kansas  the  harvest  hands  in  evM*y  state  in  the  Union  and 
in  Canada  are  instructed  by  mail  just  when,  where  and  to 
whom  to  report  to  secure  work  in  the  harvest.  No  other  state 
reported  sucli  a  system. 

In  connection  with  this  subject  it  is  possible  to  suggest  that 
the  interests  of  the  farmers  especially,  in  the  future,  would  be 
better  conserved  were  the  State  Free  Employment  Bureau 
made  a  nonpolitical  office,  as  the  compiling  of  statistics  nec- 
essary to  the  ascertaining  of  the  number  of  harvest  hands 
needed  in  the  state,  and  the  number  necessary  in  each  district 
of  each  county  of  the  wheat  belt  is  a  complicated  task,  and  re- 
quires experience  in  the  work  in  order  to  obtain  best  re- 
suits.    Then  in  addition  to  ascertaining  the  number  of  hands

Twelfth  Annual  Report  7 

needed,  and  obtaining  them,  the  task  of  distributing  them 
where  needed,  avoiding  a  surplus  here  and  a  scarcity  there, 
has  heretofore  been  the  cause  of  great  anxiety  and  complaint, 
and  no  little  criticism  of  the  Bureau. 

It  is  with  no  little  pride  that  the  Director  reports  that  to 
his  knowledge,  during  the  past  three  years  there  has  been  not 
a  single  complaint  filed  in  this  office.  Indeed,  the  contrary  is 
the  caae,  as  may  be  witnessed  by  the  following  letter  from 
Mayor  Frizell,  of  Lamed,  who,  previous  to  the  present  di- 
rector's administration,  was  one  of  the  Bureau's  most  severe 
critics : 
"Mr.  Chat.  Harrit,  Topeka.  Kan:  Jalj  18,  1812. 

Dear  Sis — Your  favor  of  the  16th  at  hand  and  contents  caiefoUy 
not«d. 

We  are  directing  all  our  extra  help  to  Dodge,  Offerle,  and  Cimarrcn. 
We  have  sent  a  great  many  extra  men  to  Rozel,  Burdett  and  Stafford. 

I  wish  to  thank  you  for  the  interest  you  have  taken  in  securing  men 
for  US.  Yours  respectfully. 

E.  E.  Fbizbll,  MafiOT." 

The  above  was  in  reply  to  a  telegram  to  Mftyor  Frizell,  ask- 
ing him  to  send  the  surplus  hands  at  Lamed  to  the  places 
above  named,  and  is  only  one  of  many  complimentary  letters 
now  on  fUe  in  tliis  office. 

THE  BUREAU  AS  AN  IMMIGRATION  AGENT. 

Possibly  no  state  has  a  better  advertising  medium  than  has 
Kansas  in  the  Free  Employment  Bureau,  which  annually 
brings  within  her  borders  thousands  of  big,  brawny  and  indus- 
trious men,  to  assist  in  harvesting  her  wonderful  wheat  crops. ' 
A  large  majority  of  this  great  army  of  harvesters  are  of  the 
material  of  whidi  the  very  beat  samples  of  American  citizen- 
ship are  composed.  As  a  class  they  are  honest,  hard  working, 
intelligent,  and  well  educated.  They  come  from  all  walks  of 
life.  They  embrace  the  farmer,  the  mechanic,  the  common 
laborer,  the  clerk,  the  lawyer,  the  doctor,  and  last,  but  by  no 
means  least,  the  college  student.  The  latter,  so  the  Kansas 
farmers  say,  is  the  model  harvest  hand. 

These  men  see  Kansas  at  her  best,  fall  in  love  with  her,  and 
either  remain  with  her,  or,  after  returning  east  and  sounding 
the  liaises  of  the  Sunflower  state,  later  return  and  make  a 
kome  within  her  borders. 

But  the  fame  of  the  Bureau  is  not  confined  to  the  United 
States,  nor  even  to  the  American  continent.    During  the  past

year  not  only  the  newspapers  and  magazines  of  this  country 
have  published  the  "Call  for  Harvest  Hands,"  issued  by  the 
Kansas  Bureau,  but  newspapers  in  faraway  Australia  have 
commented  on  "Kansas  Wheat  Harvests,"  and  The  Colonizer, 
one  of  the  largest  and  most  influential  magazines  published  in 
London,  England,  published  in  full  the  "Harvest  Call,"  and 
made  flattering  and  favorable  comment  on  same. 
NEW  EMPLOYMENT  AGENCY  LAW. 
The  legislature  of  1911  passed  a  law  regulating  private  em- 
ployment agencies  and  placing  them  under  control  of  the  Free 
Employment  Bureau,  tlie  director  of  which  is  empowered  to 
issue  them  licenses  on  payment  by  them  of  a  nominal  fee  and 
the  flling  of  a  bond  that  they  will  not  violate  the  provisions  of 
the  law.  Up  to  date  this  law  has  had  a  splendid  effect,  and  has 
driven  a  number  of  so-called  employment  agents  out  of  busi- 
ness. The  law  is  a  protection  to  the  poor  laWrer  seeking  em- 
ployment, and  is  having  a  very  beneflcial  effect,  but  few  com- 
plaints being  filed  at  this  oflice  since  its  enactment,  and  those 
few  readily  adjusted  by  the  director  without  resorting  to  the 
courts. 

PRIVATE  EMPLOYMENT  AGENCY  LICENSES. 
The  following  is  a  statement  of  cash  received  for  licenses  is-  - 
sued  to  private  employment  agencies,  all  of  which  has  been 
turned  into  the  state  treasury,  and  receipt  taken  for  the  same :

IntrodvA^tory, 

To  the  Legislature  of  Kansas: 

We  have  the  honor  of  submitting  herewith  the  third  report 
of  the  Kansas  State  Entomolosical  Commission,  covering  thi! 
years  1911  and  1912,  as  made  by  the  state  entomologists  in 
charge  of  the  Commission's  field  work.  While  the  law  cre- 
ating and  defining  the  duties  of  the  Commission  embraces  ^' 
wide  field  of  useful  work  in  combating  insects  and  diseases 
mimical  to  agriculture  and  horticulture,  the  appropriations 
so  far  have  been  only  sufficient  to  deal  principally  with  the 
San  Jose  scale.  The  prevalence  of  this  peat  has  been  ma- 
terially lessened  in  some  of  the  districts  most  infested  and 
entirely  eradicated  in  others,  but  perhaps  the  most  valuable 
work  of  our  entomologists  has  been  the  education  of  growers 
in  methods  of  successfully  contending  with  insects  detri- 
mental to  the  state's  farm  and  orchard  interests. 
Respectfully  submitted. 

F.  D.  COBURN,  Chairman. 
Walter  Wellhouse,  Secretary.

Report  of  S.  J.  Hunter, 

state  Entomologist,  Lawrence. 
Hon.  F.  D.  Cobum, 

Chairman  Entomological  CommiBKion,  Topeka: 

Dear  Sib — In  accordance  with  legislative  act  of  the  state 
of  Kansas  in  the  session  of  1907  I  have  the  honor  to  tr^nspiit 
herewith  the  third  biennial  report  of  the  state  entomologist 
in  charge  of  the  south  half  of  the  state  as  aasigned  by  the 
Commission. 
The  report  is  treated  under  the  following  heads : 
i.    Nursery  inspection. 
2.    Federal  inspection. 

Z.   Guarding  against  infestation  of  brown-tail  mol^. 
4.    Orchard  culture  and  manf^ement. 
6.   San  JosS  scale. 
ti.   Apiary  inspection. 
In  transmitting  this  report  I  wish  to  express  appreciation 
of  the  hearty  cooperation  of  the  chairman  and  secretary  in 
furthering  the  intereata  of  the  work. 

Mr.  A.  J.  Spangler,  my  chief  assistant,  merits  an  expres- 
sion of  commendation  for  the  careful  and  eflRcient  manner  in 
which  he  has  handled  the  problems  in  the  field. 

WOEK  OP  1910-1911. 
1.  Nursery  Inspection. 

This  year  the  policy  was  established  of  making  a  detailed 
survey  of  a  radius  of  some  ten  miles  around  each  one  of  the 
nursery  centers  of  the  state. 

These  surveys  consist  of  a  careful  examination  of  all  trees, 
plants  and  shrubs  likely  to  harbor  injurious  insects  or  plant 
diseases.  A  permanent  record  is  kept  of  each  survey  by 
means  of  blue-print  maps  of  the  territory  surveyed,  showing 
the  names  of  owners,  locations  and  conditions.  These  maps 
are  accompanied  by  a  full  report,  numbered  to  correspond 
with  the  location  numbers  on  the  map.  This,  therefore,  be- 
comes a  ready  working  guide  from  year  to  year,  and  can  be

used  by  any  one,  so  that  a  chancre  of  appointees  causes  no 
serious  delay  or  toss  of  information. 

We  are,  furthermore,  enabled  to  speak  authoritatively  re- 
garding the  conditions  as  they  exist  in  the  territory  sur- 
rounding nurseries. 

All  nurseries  have  been  inspected,  and  certificates  issued  to 
those  whose  stock  was  free  from  San  Jos£  scale.  Nurseries 
situated  in  proximity  to  a  dangerous  outbreak  of  San  Jose 
scale  have  not  been  certificated.  One  nursery  in  which  but  a 
very  few  scale  were  found  on  one  tree  was  not  certificated, 
and  all  of  its  stock  was  fumigated  by  an  assistant  from  this 
department  under  the  rigid  requirements  of  the  hydrocyanic- 
gas  process. 

2.  FEDERAL  Inspection. 

During  this  year,  as  in  previous  years,  there  was  no  pro- 
tection afforded  against  the  possible  introduction  of  injurious 
insects  and  plant  diseases  by  foreign  importations.  With  the 
cooperation  of  the  nurserymen  and  growers,  however,  the 
writer  assumed  responsibility  for  the  examination  of  all  im- 
portations coming  from  foreign  centers. 

3.  Guarding  Against  Infestation  op  Brown-tail  Moth. 
During  the  previous  biennium  some  thirty  nests  of  tbU 

highly  injurious  insect  were  taken  and  destroyed  in  foreign 
importations.  The  destructive  possibilities  and  the  rapidit>' 
with  which  this  insect  spreads,  together  with  the  menace  it 
has  been  shown  to  be  to  the  public  health,  had  emphasized 
the  necessity  of  using  utmost  precaution  against  its  gaining 
a  foothold  in  the  state.  No  additional  nests  were  found  this 
year. 

4.  Orchakd  Cultxjre  and  Management. 

The  work  on  the  San  Jos6  scale  has  come  to  be  a  mean.-? 
toward  an  end.  That  is,  wherever  spraying  has  been  done 
the  beneficial  results  to  the  fruit  crops  have  been  so  notice- 
able that  many  have  come  to  see  that  spraying  itself  is  a 
profitable  means  of  culture.  There  has,  therefore,  become  a 
widespread  demand  for  consultation  and  direction  upon  prob- 
lems connected  with  orchard  culture  and  management. 

This  is  as  it  should  be,  for  if  we  are  to  maintain  control 
over  the  San  Jos^  scale  and  similar  injurious  insects,  it  can 
only  be  done  by  the  united  efforts  of  all  interests  concerned.

Third  Biennial  Report.  7 

Accprdingly,  during  this  year,  in  connection  with  our  San 
Jos6  scale  work,  we  codperated  with  the  orchardists  in  twelve 
counties.    The  growing  interest  in  those  vicinities  is  an  evi- 
dence of  the  appreciation  of  this  work. 
5.  San  Jos£  Scale. 

This  insect  is  without  doubt  an  insect  of  great  economic 
importance  in  this  state.  Our  metiiod  of  combating  this  in- 
sect is  organized  into  a  regular  systematic  campaign. 

No  efficient  treatment  can  be  applied  during  the  summer 
months.  This  time,  therefore,  is  occupied  in  making'careful 
inspection  of  all  probably  infested  areas,  meeting  the  owners 
of  infested  properties,  and  giving  them  adequate  instructions 
regarding  the  nature  of  the  insect  and  the  certain  losses  which 
are  sure  to  accrue  unless  prompt  remedial  measures  are  taken. 
In  accordance  with  law,  notices  are  served  where  treatment 
is  required. 

As  soon  as  the  dormant  buds  appear  in  the  fall  we  return 
to  cooperate  with  the  fruit  growers  in  carrying  out  the  pre- 
scribed measures. 

We  have  enjoyed  the  hearty  cooperation  of  the  growers  and 
an  increasing  interest  as  fast  as  the  work  comes  to  be  under- 
stood. The  only  exception  that  can  be  cited  is  that  of  one 
S.  W.  Balsch,  of  Sedgwick  county,  who  undertook  to  thwart 
the  intent  of  the  law  by  continuing  to  harbor  the  San  Joa5 
scale  on  his  premises.  He  undertook  to  maintain  his  position 
in  court,  but  the  law  under  which  we  are  acting  was  sustained 
both  in  the  district  court,  and  in  the  supreme  court,  all  JUR- 
tices  concurring. 

The  examination  work  that  has  been  done  for  the  year  is 
best  shown  by  the  accompanying  tabulated  results.

6.  AriABY  Inspection. 

Thn  bee  keepers  of  the  state,  largely  on  their  own  responai- 
bility,  undertook  to  secure  protection  for  their  interests,  and 
they  asked  the  Commission,  if  they  would  place  with  us 
an  appropriation  of  $500,  if  we  would  organize  and  begin  the 
work  of  iiwpection  of  the  apiaries  of  the  state  for  foul  brood. 
Of  this  amount  $250  was  available  for  ihe  work  of  the  state 
entomologist  during  the  last  year.  It  was  not  poesible  with 
so  small  an  amount  to  use  an  inspector-at-large,  so  selections 
were  made  in  a  few  of  the  most  prominent  apiary  districts  of 
a  well-informed  bee  keeper.  This  plan  worked  to  liie  satis- 
faction of  the  bee  keepers  and  this  office. 

WOBK  OF  1911-1912. 

1.  NiTRSBRY  Inspection. 

The  same  policy  has  been  pursued  this  year,  with  the  addi- 
tion that  nurserymen  are  strongly  urged  to  secure  locations 
for  planting  and  business  remote  from  any  injurious  insects 
or  plant  diseases.  This  is  a  policy  which  is  not  only  advan- 
tageous to  the  state  at  large,  but  to  the  nurserymen  as  well, 
since  the  requirements  of  some  of  the  other  states  are  such  a;^ 
to  make  it  greatly  to  the  advantage  of  the  nurservmen  to  have 
the  stock  grown  in  a  locality  free  from  injurious  insects  and 
plant  diseases. 

2.  Federal  Inspection, 

The  writer  was  asked  by  the  Western  Nurserymen's  Asso- 
ciation and  by  the  committee  on  federal  legislation  west  of  the 
Mississippi  to  join  them  in  securing  federal  legislation  which 
would  adequately  and  fairly  protect  the  horticultural  interest 
of  the  United  States  against  importation  of  injurious  insects 
and  plant  diseases. 

The  legislative  committee  of  these  two  associations  wii-s 
composed  of  Hon.  W.  P.  Stark  and  the  writer.    The  plan  pro-

10  state  Entomological  Commission. 

posed  by  the  Western  Association  and  adopted  by  the  legisla- 
tive committee  of  the  National  Association  of  Nurserymen  for 
the  territory  west  of  the  Mississippi  was,  briefly,  aa  follows: 
That  the  execution  of  the  law  with  reference  to  interstate 
transportation  and  federal  importation  should  be  vested  in  a 
federal  board,  and  that  the  responsibility  for  the  inspection 
and  care  of  importations,  after  they  enter  the  state  or  come 
into  state  commerce,  should. rest  with  the  proper  state  ofllciala. 

These  measures  were  incorporated  in  a  law,  and  this  law  be- 
came effective  on  August  20,  1912. 

In  carrying  out  the  instructions  given  us  this  committee 
was  required  to  appear  twice  in  Washington ;  flrst,  at  a  con- 
ference of  all  concerned,  and  second,  at  request  of  members  of 
Congress  for  consultation. 

Under  the  provisions  of  this  act  we  are  receiving  regular 
notices  from  this  federal  board  and  from  the  importers  re- 
garding all  importations,  both  to  private  parties,  department 
store?,  florists  and  nurserymen,  and  these  importations  are 
inspected  promptly  upon  arrival  at  destination. 

3.  Guarding  Against  Infestation  op  Bhown-tail  Moth. 
The  economic  importance  of  this  insect  has  probably  never 

been  better  illustrated  than  in  a  recently  published  article  (see 
Literary  Digest,  November  30)  in  which  it  was  stated  that 
durins*  the  present  season  more  than  120  bushels  of  brown- 
tail  moths  had  been  taken  from  the  electric  lights  of  one  east- 
em  town  (estimated  at  one  and  one-half  billion  individuals). 
These  insects,  both  in  the  immature  and  mature  stages,  shed 
spines  which  have  been  shown  to  be  a  serious  menace  to  public 
health,  causing  a  grievous  rash  on  the  skin,  and  in  some  cases 
entering  the  lungs  with  fatal  results. 

With  the  protection  now  afforded  through  legislation,  it  is 
highly  essential  that  means  may  be  available  for  the  adminis- 
tration of  these  legislative  protective  measures. 

4.  Orchard  Culture  and  Management. 

The  work  this  season  has  had  a  degree  of  success  which  >'n 
some  instances  it  would  seem  difficult  to  excel.  In  some 
orchards  less  than  one  per  cent  of  certain  varieties  of  apples 
were  imperfect,  while  check  trees  in  the  same  orchard  showed 
from  twenty-five  to  fifty  per  cent  imperfect.

The  amount  of  money  available  for  this  work  this  year  of 
1912  Ib  being  used  in  the  same  way  as  last  year.  It  is  obvious 
that  for  the  small  amount  of  $250  no  widespread  results  ara 
to  be  expected. 

GENERAL  SUMMARY  FOR  THE  BIENNIUM. 

1.  All  nurseries  and  nursery  plantations  in  the  southern 
half  of  the  state  have  been  carefully  inspected  each  of  the 
two  years. 

2.  In  the  survey  for  San  Josfi  scale  664,217  trees  have  been 
examined,  62,627  have  been  found  infested,  1954  have  been 
destroyed,  and  162,586  have  been  sprayed.  In  doing  this  work 
3071/1,  square  miles  of  territory  have  been  surveyed. 

3.  Importations  destined  for  the  south  half  of  the  stata 
have  been  examined  for  dangerous  insects  and  plant  diseases, 
and  all  such  found  have  been  removed. 

4.  As  one  of  a  committee  of  two,  representing  the  horticul- 
tural interests  west  of  the  Mississippi  river,  the  writer  par- 
ticipated in  the  formulation  and  passing  of  a  federal  legislative 
bill  affording  fair  and  adequate  protection  to  both  the  agricul- 
tural and  horticultural  interests  of  the  state  against  the  pov 
sible  introduction  of  inimical  insects  or  plant  diseases. 

5.  The  San  Jos6  scale  exists  in  Wyandotte,  Crawford,  La- 
bette, Wilson,  Sedgwick,  Pawnee  and  Ford  counties.     It  hti^

been  found  in,  and  is  believed  to  be  eradicated  from,  Douglas, 
Shawnee,  Reno,  Rice  and  Pratt  counties. 

6.  Inspection  of  apiaries,  a  new  phase  of  the  work,  was  be- 
gun on  a  small  scale  at  the  beginning  of  this  bienniura. 

7.  Possibly  one  of  the  greatest  results  of  the  work  of  the 
Commission  is  the  widespread  interest  in  the  possibilities  of 
Kansas  soil  in  the  profitable  production  of  choice  fruit  of  hig]i 
flavor.  It  has  been  conclusively  demonstrated  that  Kansas 
fruitf)  will  market  at  higher  prices  and  to  better-satisfied  cus- 
tomers than  apples  grown  on  land  widely  advertised  in  far-off 
fields.  These  results  are  being  brought  about  in  Kansas 
through  intelligent  spraying  and  culture,  and  pertinent  in- 
formation to  this  end  is  being  freely  given.

Report  of  Geo.  A.  Dean* 

State  Entomologist,  Manhattan. 

Hon.  F.  D.  Cobum, 

Ckmrman  Entomoiagieai  Commiaeion,  Topeka: 

Deab  Sib — I  beg  to  submit  to  you  the  following  report  for 
the  years  1911  and  1912 : 

The  work  of  the  year  ending  December  1,  1911,  and  up  t> 
the  first  of  August  of  the  year  ending  December  1,  1912,  was 
under  the  direction  of  Prof.  T.  J.  Headlee,  state  entomologist 
of  the  northern  half  of  Kansas.  The  field  work  for  the  year 
of  1911  was  under  the  ijnmediate  charge  of  Mr.  L.  M.  Peairs, 
assistant  entomologist  of  the  Kansas  Agricultural  College  and 
Experiment  Station,  who,  under  the  direction  of  the  state  en- 
tomologist, devoted  his  entire  time  to  the  prosecution  of  the 
work.  On  the  first  of  February,  1912,  Mr.  L.  M.  Peairs  re- 
signed his  position  at  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College 
to  take  up  his  work  as  head  of  the  department  of  entomology 
in  the  West  Virginia  Agricultural  College  and  Experiment 
Station.  Mr.  Joseph  H.  Merrill,  a  graduate  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Agricultural  College,  was  appointed  to  fill  the  place  made 
vacant  by  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Peairs.  Mr.  W.  E.  Watkins, 
a  graduate  of  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College  and  of 
the  University  of  Colorado,  was  employed  December  7,  1911, 
as  a  regular  assistant  to  the  state  entomologist.  Almost  the 
entire  time  of  Messrs.  Merrill  and  Watkins  has  been  devoted, 
under  the  direction  of  the  entomologist,  to  the  field  work 
against  the  San  Jose  scale. 

The  work  of  the  two  years  followed  each  of  the  four  lines : 
(1)  the  regular  inspection  and  certification  of  all  nurseries 
growing  stock  in  the  northern  half  of  Kansas;  (2)  the  careful 
examination  of  all  nursery  stock  shipped  into  KansEks  from 
abroad;  (3)  location  and  suppression  of  the  San  Jos£  scale; 
(4)  the  inspection  (in  1912)  of  apianes,  bees  and  hives  for 
the  detection  and  suppression  of  contagious  and  infectious 
diseases  of  bees. 

Acknowledgments  are  due  to  the  chairman  and  secretary  of

the  CominissioD,  whose  prompt  and  efficient  cooperation  had 
greatly  aided  in  the  work,  and  to  the  fruit  growers,  whose  in- 
terest has  made  the  successful  prosecution  of  the  work  pos- 
sible. Acknowledgments  are  also  due  to  Messrs.  J.  H.  Merrill 
and  W.  E.  Watkins,  who  have  taken  hold  and  efficiently  pros- 
ecuted the  work. 

NURSERY  INSPECTION: 

All  nurseries  were  subjected  to  a  thorough  annual  inspec- 
tion, and  the  entomologist  is  glad  to  report  that  they  have  been 
found  without  exception  entirely  free  from  San  Joae  scale  and 
other  seriously  injurious  insects  and  plant  diseases. 
INSPECTION  OF  IMPORTED  NURSERY  STOCK. 

The  United  States  Bureau  of  Entomology  and  the  Federal 
Horticultural  Board  have  furnished  the  entomologist  notice  oT 
all  slilpments  into  Kansas  of  foreign  nursery  stock,  and  all 
stock  consigned  to  northern  Kansas  was  given  a  thorough  in- 
spection before  it  was  offered  for  sale  or  distribution. 

The  entomologist  feels  that  with  the  protection  of  the  fed- 
eral plant  quarantine  act,  August  20,  1912,  the  introduction  o'' 
the  brown-tail  moth,  gipsy  moth,  and  other  seriously  injurious 
insects  will  be  reduced  to  a  minimum,  and  with  the  careful 
discharge  of  the  duties  pertaining  to  the  office  of  state  ento- 
mologist, together  with  the  proper  coQperation  of  our  grower* 
and  dealers  of  nursery  stock,  these  pests  should  find  it  very 
difficult  to  gain  a  foothold  in  this  state. 
SAN  JOS£  SCALE. 

During  that  part  of  the  winter  and  early  spring  of  both 
years  which  would  permit  of  work,  much  of  the  time  was 
given  to  personal-  work  among  the  fruit  growers,  assistini? 
them  in  getting  spraying  apparatus  in  working  order  and 
showing  them  how  to  spray.  At  the  same  time  the  public 
sprayers  were  kept  in  operation,  and,  in  so  far  as  possible,  n 
general  "follow  up"  plan  was  pursued.  During  the  summer 
of  1911  the  entire  infested  districts  were  given  a  general  in- 
spection to  find  the  effect  of  the  spraying  that  had  been  done 
by  representatives  of  the  Commission,  to  determine  the  spread 
of  the  scale,  to  find  what  infested  plantings  had  been  treated 
or  removed,  as  per  directions  to  the  owners,  or  in  a  general 
way  to  determine  the  present  status  of  the  scale.    The  result

of  these  inspections  shows  that  there  was  no  spread  of  th« 
infestation. 

During  the  sununer  and  fall  of  1912  a  property  to  property 
inspection  was  made  of  all  the  infested  districts,  with  the 
exception  of  that  part  of  the  Kansas  City  district  lying  within 
the  city  limits.  This  inspection  covered  not  only  the  territory 
known  to  be  infested,  but  extended  in  all  directions  from  the 
infested  district,  in  order  to  ascertain  for  a  certainty  that 
there  was  no  scale  beyond  the  limits  of  the  infestation.  The 
condition  of  all  orchards  and  plantations,  whether  infested  or 
not,  was  recorded  and  all  information  regarding  them  placed 
on  file  in  the  office  of  the  state  entomologist.  During  the  win- 
ter and  spring  of  1918  it  is  planned  to  keep  the  public  sprayers 
in  operation  for  the  purpose  of  spraying  all  plantations  where 
the  owners  do  not  care  to  go  to  the  trouble  of  treating. 

While  the  entomologist  is  pleased  to  report  that  the  scale  has 
not  spread  beyond  the  limits  of  the  previously  infested  dis- 
tricts, and  has  been  greatly  reduced  within  the  infested  areas, 
he  regrets  to  report  the  finding  of  two  entirely  new  infested 
localities,  one  in  the  city  of  Marquette  and  a  small  portion  of 
the  surrounding  country,  and  the  other  in  the  city  of  Linds- 
borg,  both  of  which  are  situated  in  the  northern  part  of 
McPherson  county.  In  both  of  these  districts,  almost  without 
exception,  the  citizens  whose  properties  were  found  infested 
showed  the  very  best  spirit  of  cooperation  and  were  very 
anxious,  indeed,  to  learn  about  the  scale  and  the  best  means 
of  controlling  it.

Third  Biennial  Report.  17 

RESULTS. 
The  principal  results  of  the  last  two  years'  work  have  been 
educational,  and  can  best  be  summarized  by  quoting  from 
Doctor  Headiee's  report  to  the  Commission  for  the  years  1909 
and  1910.  "AH,  or  practically  all,  of  the  owners  or  tenants  of 
the  infested  plantations,  as  well  as  many  of  their  friends  and 
acquaintances,  have  had  an  opportunity  to  see  the  treatment  for 
scale  applied  and  to  observe  the  results.  The  necessity  of  out- 
fitting themselves  for  destroying  the  scale  and  the  resultant 
familiarity  with  the  use  of  spraying  machines  and  materials 
have  naturally  led  the  fruit  growers  to  summer-treat  their 
fruit  trees  for  other  injurious  insects  and  for  plant  diseases 
in  the  hope  of  improving  the  quantity  and  the  quality  of  the 
yield." 

The  Doniphan,  Jackson,  Jewell  and  Wyandotte  counties  in- 
fested districts  have  not  spread,  but  on  the  other  hand  have 
experienced  a  marked  reduction  in  the  abundance  of  the  scale. 
THE  OUTLOOK. 
Inasmuch  as  the  San  Jos^  scale  has  never  been  eradicated 
from  any  country  where  it  has  obtained  such  a  foothold  as  it 
has  in  Kansas,  we  might  as  well  accept  the  proposition  that  to 
eradicate  the  scale  is  impracticable,  but  to  control  it  is  per- 
fectly practicable.  General  results  of  the  treatment  with 
lime-sulphur  sprays,  even  with  a  single  spraying  per  year 
during  the  dormant  season,  will  easily  and  efficiently  control 
the  scale.  The  inspection  of  the  infested  areas  shows  that  its 
rapid  progress  can  be  stayed,  its  damage  reduced  from  abso- 
lute destruction  of  thousands  of  fruit  trees  to  where  it  be- 
comes merely  a  spur  to  compel  orchardists  to  practice  those 
measures  that  are  needed  for  the  production  of  high-grade 
fruit.  Doctor  Headlee  in  one  of  his  reports  says ;  "Indeed,  so 
thoroughly  are  many  of  the  fruit  growers  in  the  infested  dis- 
tricts convinced  that  this  is  true,  that  they  have  ceased  to  fear 
the  scale,  and  some  of  them  have  expressed  themselves  as  well 
pleased  that  at  last  something  has  arrived  which  will  put  the 
shiftless  fruit  grower  out  of  commission,"  He  further  says: 
"The  campaign  against  San  Jose  scale  becomes  one  of  educa- 
tion. Spread  abroad  among  the  people  an  accurate  knowledge 
of  how  this  creature  looks,  how  it  works,  what  harm  it  does.

and  how  it  may  be  completely  controtled,  and  the  power  of 
San  Jos^  scale  seriously  to  injure  Kansas  fruit  production  be- 
comes a  thing  of  the  past." 

INSPECTION  OF  APIARIES. 

While  the  legislature  passed  a  much-needed  law  which  pro- 
vides for  the  control  and  eradication  of  bee  diseases,  unfor- 
tunately the  money  appropriated  for  the  purpose  was  entirely 
insufficient  to  make  the  careful  inspection  of  apiaries  that 
should  be  made. 

In  view  of  the  limited  funds,  the  entomologist  in  the  spring 
of  1912  first  sent  a  letter  to  the  county  clerks  of  all  the 
counties  in  the  north  half  of  the  state,  requesting  them  to  fur- 
nish him  with  the  names  and  addresses  of  all  i>ersons  keeping 
bees  in  their  county.  To  this  request  the  county  clerks  of 
twenty-four  counties  reported  a  total  of  4177  individual  own- 
ers of  bees,  with  a  total  of  18,944  colonies.  Upon  receipt  of 
this  information  from  the  county  clerks  there  was  sent  to 
each  bee  keeper  who  had  ten  or  more  stands  a  tetter  asking 
him  to  suggest  a  reliable  man  within  the  limits  of  his  neigh- 
borhood, county,  or  adjacent  county  who  had  the  proper 
knowledge  of  bee  diseases  and  the  time  necessary  to  do  the 
work  of  apiary  inspection.  To  this  request  41  persons  were 
reconimended,  representing  29  localities  in  14  counties. 

On  February  17,  1912,  there  was  received  from  E.  F.  Phil- 
lips, in  charge  of  bee  culture,  Bureau  of  Entomology,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  the  following  information  relative  to  samples 
of  diseased  brood  received  from  the  northern  half  of  Kansas :

During  the  coming  spring  and  summer  the  balance  of  the 
money  appropriated  for  the  bee  inspection  work  will  be  used 
for  the  inspection  of  apiaries  in  those  districts  from  which 
foul  brood  has  been  reported. 

SUMMARY. 

1.  During  the  years  of  1911  and  1912  all  the  nurseries  in 
the  northern  part  of  Kansas  have  been  carefully  inspected, 
and,  inasmuch  as  no  San  JosS  scale  or  other  seriously  injuri- 
ous insects  and  plant  diseases  have  been  found,  have  been  duly 
certificated. 

2.  All  shipments  of  nursery  stock  coming  into  northern 
Kansas  from  abroad,  in  so  far  as  known  to  the  entomologist, 
have  been  carefully  scrutinized. 

S.  San  Jos^  scale  has  been  found  in  Doniphan,  Jackson, 
Jewell,  McPherson  and  Wyandotte  counties.  The  two  in- 
fested districts  of  McPherson  county  are  entirely  new  infesta- 
tions. 

4.  With  the  exception  of  that  part  of  the  infestation  lying 
within  the  city  limits  in  the  Kansas  City  district,  all  the  in- 
fested plantings  in  these  counties  have  been  inspected  and 
recorded. 

5.  The  inspection  has  involved  the  examination  of  2097 
plantations,  scattered  over  194  square  miles,  673  of  which, 
scattered  over  46.5  square  mites,  have  been  found  infested. 

6.  This  inspection  has  involved  the  examination  of  266,796 
individual  plus  6401/^  acres  of  fruit  plants  plus  659  rods  of 
Osage  orange  hedge,  of  which  28,464  individuals  plus  0  acres 
of  fruit  plants  plus  25  rods  of  Osage  orange  hedge  are  in- 
fested.

7.  The  property  to  property  inspections  of  all  the  old  in- 
fested districts  show  that  the  scale  has  not  spread  beyond  the 
limits  of  the  previously  infested  districts,  and  has  been  greatly 
reduced  in  numbers  in  the  infested  areas. 

8.  The  county  clerks  of  twenty-four  counties  in  the  north- 
em  part  of  Kansas  report  4177  individual  owners  of  bees  with 
a  total  of  18,994  colonies. 

9.  Local  inspectors  have  inspected  169  apiaries,  with  a 
total  of  IS  apiaries  diseased. 

10.  Foul  brood  has  been  found  or  reported  from  Jewell, 
Leavenworth,  McPherson,  Osborne,  Saline,  Shawnee,  Wa- 
baunsee and  Washington  counties. 

11.  Preparations  are  now  being  made  for  the  coming  win- 
ter treatment.  Gbo.  A.  Dean,

Letter  of  Transmittal. 

To  His  Exc^Uncy,  Hon.  W.  R.  Stabbs,  Governor  of  Kansas: 
Dear  Sib — We  herewith,  at  your  request  and  as  required  by- 
law, submit  our  first  biennial  report  as  Ash  and  game  warden 
of  ihe  state  of  Kansas.  While  this  report,  in  a  way,  coveis  all 
the  period  since  we  received  our  commission,  December  1, 1909, 
it  more  specially  covers  the  period  since  the  enactment  of 
the  new  fish  and  game  law,  passed  by  the  legislature  of  1910 
and  1911.  This  law  was  published  and  became  effective  March 
25,  1911. 

In  making  this  report  and  in  the  discussion  of  fish  and  game- 
matters  of  interest  to  Kansas  people,  we  have  tried  to  be  fair 
to  all  parties  concerned.  It  is  our  desire  that  the  Department 
of  Fish  and  Game  be  so  managed  that  the  greatest  good  may 
come  to  the  greatest  number  of  Kansas  people. 

Respectfully  submitted.  L.  L.  Dyche, 

State  Fiah  and  Game  Warden.

The  Warden's  Biennial  Report. 


INTRODUCTORY. 

APPOINTMENT  OP  WARDEN. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  R^rents  of  the  University  of  Kansas  held  Novem- 
t>«r  9,  1909,  the  following  resolution  was  passed  and  transmitted  to  the 
governor  on  November  30,  in  the  form  aa  preaoited  below: 

The  University  of  Kansas, 

Lawrence,  November  80,  1909. 
Hon.  W.  R.  Stubbe,  Governor  of  Kanaae: 

My  Dear  Sir — At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Regents  last  night  the 
following  resolution  was  adopted : 

"On  account  of  the  lack  of  appropriations  for  the  fish  and  game  warden- 
ship,  and  of  its  great  importance  to  the  state,  and  farther,  because  of 
the  desire  and  du^  of  the  University  to  do  everything  in  its  power  for  the 
comm<aiwealth  whose  name  it  bears,  the  Regents  of  the  University  of 
Kansas  hereby  offer  the  services  of  Prof.  Lewis  Lindsay  Dyche  as  fish 
and  nune  warden  for  so  much  of  his  time  as  may  be  necessary  to  place  the 
flsh  hatchery  and  the  entire  work  connected  with  the  position  on  a 
thoroughly  scientific  and  economic  basis,  believing  that  it  may  be  made  of 
gfreat  economic  importance  to  Kansas. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 

Frank  Stronu,  Cfcaitceitor." 

The  governor  immediately  accepted  the  proposition  of  the  University 
R^ents,  and  we  received  our  commission  as  flsh  and  game  warden 
December  1,  1909. 

Col.  Thomas  Benton  Murdock,  our  immediate  predecessor,  held  the 
office  frc»n  July  1,  1909,  until  November  4  of  the  same  year,  the  date  of 
his  death. 

The  last  l^slature  that  convened  before  CMonel  Murdock's  appoint- 
ment failed  to  make  any  appropriation  for  the  upkeep  and  maintenance 
of  the  Fish  and  Game  Department.  This  embarrass^  Colonel  Murdock 
very  mnch,  as  he  had  no  funds  at  his  disposal  for  carrying  on  and  de- 
veloping the  work  in  accordance  with  his  ideas  and  plans. 

no  funds  for  PI8H   AND  GAME. 

There  were  no  funds  for  the  upkeep  and  development  of  the  department 
until  the  legislature  of  1911  made  appropriations,  which  became  available 
March  25,  1911.  During  this  time  the  absolutely  necessary  expenses 
of  maintaining  the  department  were  paid  by  the  governor  out  of  his 
contingent  fund.  The  sum  thus  expended  amounted  to  $7,258.40.  The 
legislature  of  1911  transferred  this  amount  from  the  fish  and  game  warden 
fund  to  the  general  state  treasury  fund.  It  also  appropriated  and  made 
available  for  carrying  on  the  work  of  the  Pish  and  Game  Department 
funds  that  had  been  collected  from  the  sale  of  hunters'  licenses.

8  Fish  and  Game  Warden. 

WARDEN  OTUDieS  SITUATION, 

As  soon  as  we  received  our  appointmeot  as  fish  and  game  warden  we* 
gave  the  subject  of  fish  and  game  our  immediate  attention.  We  b^an 
a  careful  and  eyetematic  study  of  the  state,  and  collected  all  inforroatim 
available  concerning  fish  and  game  and  their  needs  and  possibilities  in 
the  state  of  Kansas. 

We  want  to  say  right  here,  before  going  any  further,  that  this  was 
an  appointment  that  we  never  sought  or  asked  for,  and  one  that  we 
should  never  have  taken  except  for  the  fact  that  the  governor  and  the 
Regents  of  the  University  made  it  a  part  of  our  University  work.  When 
we  Anally  accepted  the  appointment  we  did  it  with  much  hesitation  and 
some  trepidation,  for  we  realized  that  we  were  about  to  take  up  a  work 
of  great  importance  and  one  that  would  be  no  easy  task  to  manage  for 
the  greatest  good  of  the  greatest  number  of  Kansas  people. 

We  have  always  been  interested  in  fish  and  game,  and  the  major 
part  of  our  work  at  the  University  for  more  than  thirty  years  has  been 
with  mammals,  birds  and  fishes.  We  studied  them  both  in  the  field  and 
in  the  laboratory  and  made  extensive  collections  for  the  natural  history 


CONDITIONS  AT  THE  FISH  HATCHERY. 

At  the  fish  hatchery  we  found  problems  and  conditions  that  donanded 

our  immediate  attention;  but  no  library,  no  set  of  books,  no  system  of 
bookkeeping;  not  even  a  set  of  reports  of  the  fish  and  game  wardens  of 
other  states;  no  laboratory  and  no  place  to  work  and  carry  on  investiga- 
tions. We  improvised  a  temporary  laboratory  in  an  old  bufrgy  shed.  It 
was  the  crudest  and  most  unfinished  structure  for  a  scientific  laboratory 
that  one  ever  saw.  We  took  a  few  hundred  books  and  pamphlets  from 
our  private  library,  and  a  few  instruments,  including  microsoopes,  from 
the  University,  and  bcRan  work.  We  soon  found  out  many  things  that 
it  was  vei-y  important  to  know  in  connection  with  the  management  of 
the  fish  hatchery.  Studies  that  were  made  under  these  adverse  conditions 
laid  the  foundation  for  bulletins  that  are  being  published. 

In  a  short  time  our  correspondence  was  greatly  increased.  So  many 
questions  were  asked,  especially  about  fish — such  as  how  to  get  them,  how 
to  raise  them,  and  how  to  care  for  them— that  it  was  not  possible  to 
give  intelligent  answers  to  any  considerable  part  of  them.  We  im- 
mediately conceived  the  idea  of  issuinir  bulletins  for  the  purpose  of 
imparting  information  on  the  subjects  that  the  mass  of  our  correspond- 
ents were  most  interested  in. 

BULLETINS  PUBLISHED   AND  TO  BE  PUBLISHED. 

We  have  outlined  about  a  dozen  bulletins  on  subjects  that  we  think 
will  be  valuable  for  Kansas  people,  and  have  had  the  honor  to  transmit 
to  you  for  your  consideration  parta  I  and  II  of  Bulletin  No.  1,  on  the

GBEAT  DEMAND  FOB  PISH. 

The  interest  in  the  fiah  bueiness  grew  so  rapidly  and  the  applications 
became  bo  numerous  that  the  department  bo<xi  became  frreatly  em- 
barrassed, as  it  was  not  possible  to  raise  fish  enough,  with  the  small 
hatchery  plant  at  its  command,  to  properly  supply  the  ponds  alraady 
in  existence,  to  say  nothing  of  the  many  new  ponds  that  were  being  and 
would  be  built.  There  were  also  many  applications  for  fish  for  Kansas 
streams.  If  we  promised  fish  to  all  applicants  it  would  mean  that  only 
a  few  fish  could  be  delivered  to  each  applicant,  and  these  few  at  very 
irregular  intervals. 

A  NEW  HATCHERY  WITH  GREATER  POSSIBILITIES  AND  FACILITIES. 

It  soon  became  apparent  to  us  that  a  much  larger  hatthery,  with 
better  facilities  for  raising  and  handling  fish,  was  necessary  if  the 
hatchery  was  to  meet  the  demands  that  were  being  made  upon  it. 

After  a  careful  survey  of  the  situation,  we  conceived  the  idea  of  build* 
ing  a  "new  and  improved  fish  hatchery"  that  would  be  adequate  to  meet 
the  increasing  demands  of  the  fish  interests  of  the  state. 
SKETCHES  AND  PLANS  FOR  NEW  HATCHERY. 

As  soon  as  a  etudy  of  the  situation  and  the  conditions  to  be  met  could 
be  made,  sketches  and  plans  were  prepared  for  a  new  and  improved  fish 
hatchery.  These  sketches  and  plans  were  prepared  with  the  aid  of 
Prof,  W.  C.  Head,  civil  engineer  at  the  University  of  Kansas.  They 
were  presented  to  the  Kansas  legislature  for  its  consideration  during  its 
session  of  1811. 

PLANS  FAVORED  BY   LEGISLATURE  AND  FUNDS  APPROPRIATED, 

The  plans  and  the  explanations  that  showed  the  possihilitiea  of  the  new 
hatchery  were  considered  favorably  by  the  members  of  the  legislature. 
Funds  were  appropriated  that  made  it  possible  to  build  a  new  and  im- 
proved fish  hatchery.  More  detailed  plans,  based  upon  more  accurate  sui'- 
Teys,  were  immediately  prepared,  and  sufiicient  land,  eighty  acres  in  one 
tract,  adjoining  the  old  hatchery  on  the  west  (and  some  other  small  pieces, 
aggregating  alMut  fifteen  acres),  was  purchased  by  the  state.  Also  a 
right  of  way  one  and  one-third  miles  in  length  for  a  twenty-one  inch  water 
pipe  line   was   secured. 

NEW  AND  IMPROVED  FISH    HATCHERY  TO   BE   FINISHED  IN  OCTOBER. 

The  building  of  this  hatchery  is  now  under  headway,  with  a  time  limit 
of  October  15,  1912,  for  its  completion.  When  finished  there  will  be 
eighty-three  new  breeding,  nursery  and  stock  ponds,  averaging  in  surface 
area  about  one  acre  each.  These  will  furnish  about  twelve  miles  of  shore 
line,  affording  good  breeding  and  spawning  places  for  the  old  fish  and  fine 
feeding  grounds  for  the  young  fish. 

THE  LARGEST  FISH    HATCHERY   IN  THE  COUNTRY. 

The  above  hatchery  will  be,  so  far  as  we  are  able  to  learn,  when  com- 
pleted, the  largest  pond  fish  hatchery  in  the  country.  An  effort  is  beini; 
made  to  make  it  the  most  complete  and  the  best  equipped  hatchery  of  the 
kind  that  was  ever  built.  However,  its  entire  output  will  scarcely  meet 
the  future  demands  of  a  state  that  has  over  80,000  square  miles  of  terri-

tory,  with  its  many  good  flah  rtreaini  and  its  number  of  good  flah  panda 
eonstantiy  increaaing.  It  will  make  it  posBible,  however,  for  some  years  to 
come,  for  the  department  to  place  good  supplies  of  brood-stock  flah  in  both 
the  ponda  and  the  streams  of  the  state  and  to  visit  all  the  principal  local- 
itiee,  where  flsh  are  desred,  with  the  flsh  car  at  least  once  a  year. 

STOCK  P0ND3  FOR  HOLDINfl  FISH   UNTIL  TWO  YEAB8  OLD. 

There  will  be  nursery  and  stock  ponds  and  water  enough  in  the  new 
hatchery  to  enable  the  department  to  hold  many  fish  until  they  are  twj 
years  old  and  of  spawning  size  before  distributing  them.  Thua  the  de- 
partment can  stock  ponds  with  fish  that  are  old  enough  to  apawn  and  save 
much  time  for  the  person  who  desires  to  raise  fish.  We  also  think  it  de- 
sirable and  profitable  to  place  two-year-old  fiah  in  streams.  Two-year-old 
fish  of  spawning  Bize  are  less  liable  to  be  destroyed  when  placed  in  strange 
waters,  for  they  do  not  have  to  spmd  one  or  two  years  dodging  their  en- 
emies, especially  the  larger  and  older  fish,  before  they  can  spawn  and  pro- 
duce thousands  of  young  fiah. 


KANSAS  AS  GAME  STATE. 

In  former  years,  when  the  state  of  Kanaas  was  new,  it  might  have  been 
considered  a  game  state.  The  prairie  lands  were  covered  with  herds  of 
buffaloa  and  antelope,  and  the  wooded  valleys  and  hills  furnished  ahelter 
for  many  deer  and  elk.  Wild  turkeys  were  quite  common  in  the  wooded 
diatricta,  and  prairie  chickena  were  found  in  great  numbers,  especially  in 
the  eastern  part.  At  present  conditions  are  changed.  Large  game  ani- 
mals have  completely  disappeared.  Wild  turkeys  have  likewise  become 
extinct,  and  prairie  chickens  are  confined  to  a  few  counties  in  the  western 
part  of  the  state  and  are  threatened  with  extinction.  About  the  only  game 
animal  that  has  held  its  own  is  the  rabbit,  and  about  the  only  game  bird 
is  the  quail.  Ducks  and  geese  in  former  years  were  very  common  daring 
the  period  of  migration.  Of  late  years,  comparatively,  but  a  very  few 
pass  through  the  country.  Kansas  can  not  any  longer  be  counted  as  a 
game  state. 

KAN3A8  AN  AGIUCULTUIUL  STATE. 

Practically  all  the  land  in  Kansas  is  used  for  agriculture,  horticulture 
and  siock-raising  purposes.  There  are  no  longer  any  Wld  or  naturally 
protected  places  for  large  game. 

THE  PRAIRIE   CHICKEN    AND   THE    QUAIL. 

While  the  rabbit  seems  to  thrive  under  all  kinds  of  conditions,  it  is  quite 
different  with  the  quail  and  the  prairie  chicken.  Prairie  chickens  prefer 
to  nest  on  the  open  prairies  and  in  the  wild-grass  meadows.  There  are 
very  few,  if  any,  wild-grass  meadows  now  that  are  not  used  either  for  hay 
meadows  or  for  stock  pastures.  Cattle,  horses  and  sheep  tramping  over 
the  ground  necessarily  interfere  very  much  with  the  nesting  habits  of  the 
prairie  chickens. 

The  quail  has  many  of  the  same  conditions  to  contend  with.  These 
birds,  as  a  rule,  do  not  nest  in  thickets,  hedgerows  or  in  wooded  districts.

First  Biennial  Report  11 

Thejr  seek  the  grassy  meadows,  and  in  late  Tears  they  especially  seek  the 
«1falfa  fields.  Quail  that  build  their  nests  in  alfalfa  fields  are  usually  sit- 
ting on  their  first  clutch  of  eggs  during  the  season  that  the  first  cutting  of 
hay  is  made.  The  cutting  of  the  alfalfa  and  the  raking  "^  ^he  hay  in- 
-variably  destroys  the  nests,  and  in  some  instances  the  old  birds  thtanselves 
are  crippled  or  killed.  On  a  five-acre  alfalfa  field  at  the  fish  hatchery 
three  quail  nests  were  destroyed  during  the  period  of  one  (the  first)  hay 
cutting.  All  the  nests  were  unknowingly  destroyed,  as  they  were  not 
found  until  after  the  hay  had  been  raked.  Two  or  more  neets  were  found 
.in  the  same  hayfield  when  the  alfalfa  was  cut  the  second  time.  Many, 
many  instances  have  been  reported  to  the  department  of  the  destruction  of 
quail  nests  during  the  cutting  of  alfalfa  and  other  tame-hay  crops. 

The  above  account  gives  an  idea  of  one  of  the  serious  drawbacks  in  the 
propagation  of  quail.  Their  nesting  habits  are  such  that  great  numbers 
of  eggs  are  destroyed  before  the  young  birds  are  hatched.  In  many  of  the 
wild  meadows  where  these  birds  nest,  cattle  or  other  domestic  animals  are 
constantly  feeding,  and  the  birds  have  little  chance  to  nest  and  hatch  their 
young  without  being  disturbed. 

Still  another  drawback  to  the  quail  is  the  severe  winters  that  we  some- 
times have  in  Kansas.  During  the  past  winter  in  certain  localities  tbe 
quail  were  almost  exterminated.  Whole  coveys  were  reported  frozen  to 
death.  One  of  the  most  discouraging  features  was  the  fact  that  some  of 
the  froien  birds  were  reported  found  dead  with  their  crops  full  of 
grain.  This  went  to  show  that  they  were  frozen,  regardless  of  the  fact 
that  tliey  had  food.  Rainy  weather  that  wet  their  feathers  preceding 
snowstorms  left  the  birds  in  poor  condition  to  endure  the  extremely  coid 
breather.    Howevn*,  such  extr«ne  weather  conditions  are  rare  in  Kansas. 


FISH  AND  GAME. 

In  chapter  198  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911  the  Kansas  legislature 
passed  what  might  be  considered  a  new  fish  and  game  law  far  the  state 
of  Kansas.  Many  old  sections  were  omitted,  others  were  revised,  and 
many  new  sections  with  new  provisions  were  added.  So  far  as  we  have 
been  aitle  to  learn,  this  fish  and  game  law  has  been  generally  satisfactory 
to  the  mass  of  Kansas  people.  However,  no  state  has  succeeded  in  mak- 
ing a  fish  and  game  taw  that  is  satisfactory  ta  all  its  people.  Topo- 
graphical conditions  and  conditions  of  environment  in  different  parts  of 
the  state  make  it  difficult  to  frame  a  law  that  will  apply  with  equal  fair- 
ness to  all  itS' people. 

Many  laws  relating  to  fish  and  game  have  been  ill  advised,  due  in 
part  to  the  fact  that  they  favor  special  localities  and  special  interests, 
and  due  largely  to  their  disregard  of  biological  conditions.  Any  code  of 
laws  that  can  be  agreed  upon  by  the  lawmakers  of  a  state  as  large  as 
Kansas  must  of  necessity  be  in  the  nature  of  a  compromise;  they  are 
experimental,  and  must  at  times  be  revised  and  readjusted  to  meet  the  re- 
quirements of  changing  conditions.

12  Fish  and  Game  Worsen. 

PURPOSE  OF  LAW. 

It  is  the  intent  and  purpose  of  the  law  to  protect  certain  kinds  of  wild 
life,  because  this  wild  life  is  valuable  to  mankind.  The  wanton  waste  and 
destruction  that  follows  in  the  footsteps  of  the  overxealous  sportsman,  the 
pothunter,  the  market  hunter  and  the  "game  ho^'  has  made  deep  and 
unnecessary  inroads  into  the  wild-life  centers  of  our  state.  It  is  the 
purpose  of  the  fish  and  game  laws,  and  the  duty  of  those  who  enforce 
them,  to  restrain  the  thouKhtless  and  avaricious  person  who  destnqrs 
valuable  wild  life  without  re^^ard  for  its  present  value  or  future  condi- 
ticn.  Without  such  restraint  many  valuable  animals,  birds  and  fishes 
would  soon  become  rare,  and  even  extinct. 

FISHINC  AND  HUNTING  F(Ht  PLEASUKG. 

Persons  of  means  can  go  to  various  parts  of  the  country  and  to  re- 
puted pleasure  resorts  fsr  their  outings,  but  people  in  more  moderate 
circumstances  and  the  paor  man  must  seek. the  joys  of  fishing  and  the 
pleasures  of  field  sports  either  at  home  or  some  near-by  place.  It  seems 
to  us  that  the  interests  and  pleasures  of  the  latter,  who  are  vastly  in 
the  majority  in  our  state,  should  ever  be  kept  in  mind  when  the  Ash  and 
game  laws  are  being  enacted.  Laws  should  not  be  made  for  the  well-to-do 
sportsmen  alone.  We  had  this  idea  in  mind  when  we  made  plans  for  the 
largest  and  best  equipped  pond  fish  hatchery  in  the  country.  We  hope  to 
be  able,  by  stocking  and  restocking  Kansas  waters,  to  produce  a  good 
supply  of  fish  in  all  the  streams  and  ponds  in  the  state;  in  other  words, 
to  produce  fish  enough  in  Kansas  waters  so  that  fish  will  become  a  com- 
mon article  of  food  for  Kansas  people,  and  the  pleasure  of  fishing  may 
be  enjoyed  by  thousands  at  or  near  their  homes. 


GAME  LAWS. 


Game  laws  are  intended  primarily  to  regulate  the  killing  of  game  as 
regards  time,  amount  and  manner  of  killinK-  The  civilized  development 
and  settlement  of  any  country  destroys  to  a  very  considerable  extent  the 
natural  haunts  of  wild  game.  The  destruction  of  breeding  and  feeding 
grounds  causes  a  natural  diminution  of  the  supply.  Therefore  it  has 
been  necessary  for  the  legislatures  of  the  various  states  to  enact  many 
prohibitive  and  restrictive  measures  for  the  protection  of  game  and  fish. 

At  the  last  session  of  the  Kansas  legislature  many  measures  were  con- 
sidered and  some  were  enacted  into  law.  It  was  hardly  possible  to  find  a 
half  dozen  people  from  as  many  different  locahties  in  the  state  who  could 
agree  on  what  a  game  law  should  be  for  any  species  of  game.  The  com- 
mittees on  fish  and  game  cf  both  the  house  and  the  senate  of  the  last 
legislature  considered  the  matter  of  making  a  fish  and  game  law  in  com- 
mittee meetings  a  number  of  times.  All  petitions  and  letters  that  had 
been  submitted  to  the  department  for  consideration  were  presented  to 
these  committees.

CHANGES  IN  THE  LAW. 

The  legislative  committees  ^ve  special  consi deration  to  petitions  ask- 
ing for  changes  in  the  law.  A  reduction  in  the  bag  limit  was  asked  for, 
and  it  was  granted.  It  was  also  asked  that  the  use  of  live  decays  be  dis- 
continued, as  it  gave  the  pothunter  and  the  market  hunter,  who  hunted 
every  day  during  the  open  season,  t<>o  great  an  opportunity  to  destroy 
game.  This  request  was  also  granted.  Another  request  was  made  that 
the  season  on  some  species  of  game  be  shortened.  This  was  in  part 
granted.  It  was  also  asked  that  game  birds  he  not  shot  while  sitting  on 
the  water  or  land,  except  when  wounded.  This  request  was  granted. 
The  request  against  shooting  birds  from  motor  boats  was  granted,  and 
also  the  request  against  shooting  birds  during  the  night.  Other  requests, 
such  as  requiring  a  license  to  fish,  making  pump  and  aut<Hnatic  guns  un- 
lawful, putting  «  five-year  close  season  on  quail  and  the  stopping  of 
spring  shooting  were  considered,  but  were  not  finally  enacted  into  law, 
although  many  favored  these  measures. 

REQUEBTS  OF  SPORTSMEN. 

The  petitions  and  requests  for  the  above  requirements  and  changes  in 
the  law  were  for  the  most  part  made  by  sportsmen.  Now,  there  are  still 
other  persons  claiming  to  be  sportsmen,  who  are  advising,  if  reports  pub- 
lished in  some  newspapers  are  true,  that  some  of  these  sections  of  the  law 
be  repealed.  The  present  warden  made  no  recommendation  to  the  legisla- 
ture as  regards  the  bag  limit  or  the  season  on  birds.  These  matters  were 
left  to  sportsmen  themselves,  and  to  the  members  of  the  legislature  when 
the  matter  was  presented  to  them  through  the  proper  committees. 

RESTKICTtVB   PROTECTION   NECBSSARV. 

Modem  methods  of  hunting,  which  include  expert  shots  with  the  most 
deadly  repeating  guns  that  can  be  made,  and  the  use  of  decays  and 
brained  dogs,  make  it  necessary  that  what  little  game  there  is  left  re- 
ceive stringent  prohibitory  and  restrictive  protection,  or  it  will  soon  be 
completely  exterminated.  We  must  have  birds  for  the  protection  of 
agriculture  and  horticulture,  and  some  of  our  game  birds  are  of  the 
greatest  value  as  protectionists  along  these  lines.  Hunters  unrestrained 
would  soon  exterminate  all  the  native  game  birds  in  the  state.  The  wild 
turkey,  the  wild  pigeon  and  the  prairie  chicken  in  the  eastern  two-thirds  of 
the  state  afford  good  examples  of  what  happens  to  game  birds  that  are 
not  protected. 

FARMERS  AND  THE  GAME   LAW. 

Again,  the  farmers  and  the  landowners  have  their  ideas  about  what  a 
fish  and  game  law  should  be.  They  raise  and  feed  all  resident  game,  and 
are  the  natural  owners.  As  a  rule,  they  are  all  in  favor  of  protecting 
the  game.  All  of  the  game  birds  are  considered  useful  to  horticulture 
and  agriculture,  and  it  is  very  natural  that  all  persons  who  are  engaged 
in  agricultural  or  horticultural  pursuits  should  wish  to  protect  and  keep 
the  birds  which  are  beneficial  to  them.  They  have  been  called  "cranky," 
and  sometimes  other  epithets  have  been  applied  to  them  because  they 
will  not  allow  any  hunting  on  their  farms.  If  it  were  not  for  the  so- 
called  "cranky"  farmer  who  forbids  hunting  on  his  lands  we  fear  there

would  be  very  few  game  birds  left  in  this  at&te.  No  law  can  or  ought  to 
be  passed  that  does  not  consider  their  intereata.  Host  of  the  farmen  are 
real  protectors  of  resident  game.  Very  few  of  them  want  quail  killed, 
and  we  are  unable  to  give  any  very  good  reason  why  they  should  be  killed, 
although  we  realize  that  the  quail  ia  by  far  the  flnest  game  bird  of  its 
size  in  the  world.  Many  of  the  farmer  organizations  have  invited  us,  as 
state  fish  and  game  Warden,  to  meet  with  them.  We  have  met  with  them, 
advised  with  them  and  cooperated  with  them.  We  hope  in  the  future  to 
continue  to  coSperate  with  the  farmers  and  to  continue  to  receive  their 
most  valuable  counsel  and  advice. 

LBGAL  HUNTING. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  all  the  resident  game  birds  in  the  state  of  Kansas 
could  easily  be  exterminated,  and  that,  too,  in  a  few  years,  by  the  methods 
employed  by  some  hunters  who  hunt  according  to  law,  or  what  they  con- 
sider within  the  bounds  of  the  law. 

If  each  farmer  in  the  state  of  Kansas  should  allow  legal  quail  hunting 
for  fifteen  days  each  year  on  his  farm,  in  the  course  of  three  or  four 
years  there  would  be  few  or  no  quail  in  the  state.  It  is  an  easy  matter 
for  two  or  three  good  shots,  with  the  best  modern  guns  and  well-trained 
dogs,  to  kill  or  cripple  every  bird  in  a  flock,  and  this  is  what  usually 
happens  when  the  hunters-  follow  up  the  birds. 

The  farmer  who  never  allows  hunting  on  his  place  is  the  greatest  game 
protector  the  state  has.  From  such  protected  centers  the  birds  spread 
each  spring  to  localities  where  few  or  no  birds  have  been  left. 

THE  I£GI3UTUKE  AND  THE  OAHE  LAW. 

If  we  should  judge  from  the  contents  of  a  certain  class  of  letters  that 
come  to  the  departmmt,  we  might  have  reason  to  believe  that  there  are 
people  in  the  state  who  think  that  the  present  fish  and  game  warden  wrote 
a  flsh  and  game  law  and  put  in  it  such  things  as  he  saw  fit,  and  that  the 
legislature  passed  this  without  revision  or  amaidm^nt 

KSVISION  AND  CODIFICATION  OF  THE  GAME  UtW. 

What  the  warden  did  was  to  get  together  all  the  fish  and  game  laws 
enacted  by  former  legislatures,  with  the  idea  of  having  them  revised  and 
brought  up  to  date  ta  meet  present  conditions,  and  with  the  idea  of  having 
them  «)acted  into  one  chapter. 

By  and  with  the  aid  of  the  fish  and  game  committees  of  the  house  and 
senate,  these  laws  were  revised  and  codified  and  put  in  as  good  shape  as 
possible,  for  the  consideration  of  the  legislature.  The  committees  of  the 
house  and  senate  put  in  sections,  took  out  sections  and  revised  sections. 
All  the  petitions  that  had  beoi  sent  to  the  department  were  presetted  to 
the  committees  and  were  considered  at  the  proper  time  and  in  their  proper 
places. 

CONSIDEKED  BY  THE  UiGlSLATUSS. 

The  I4W,  as  prepared  and  revised  by  the  committees,  was  presented  to 
the  house  and  senate  for  their  consideration.  While  the  law  was  being 
considered  section  by  section  it  provoked  many  very  enthusiastic  discus- 
sions and  interesting  debates,  both  in  the  house  and  in  the  senate.  Mo  one 
was  interested  in  the  outcome  of  the  law  more  than  the  flsh  and  game

warden.  Yet  he  did  not  &ak  a  single  member  of  the  legislature  to  vote  for, 
u  single  one  of  its  sections.  However,  when  asked  to  do  so,  he  gave  such 
infonnation  aa  he  was  able  to  concerning  certain  features  of  the  law. 

The  legislature,  like  the  committees,  considered  this  law  section  by  sec- 
tion. It  revised  and  condensed  many  sections,  some  of  which  it  was  very 
difficult  for  members  living  in  different  parts  of  the  stat«,  where  ccmditions 
were  different,  to  agree  upon.  When  agreements  could  not  effected,  com- 
promises were  brought  about. 

DUTY  OF  THE  GAME  WARDEN. 

It  is  tile  duty  of  the  fish  and  game  warden,  so  far  as  lies  in  hie  power, 
to  eiforce  the  fish  and  game  laws  just  as  they  were  passed  by  the  legisla- 
ture. We  have  no  alternative  in  the  matter;  we  can  not  make  changes 
that  would  suit  people  in  certain  localities;  we  can  not  grant  permits  to 
citisens  to  do  anything  that  is  not  provided  for  in  the  law.  We  have  tried, 
with  the  assistance  of  over  400  deputy  wardens,  to  do  our  duty.  If  the 
law  is  not  what  it  ought  to  be,  let  ub  try  and  make  it  better.  Do  not  con- 
dtxtm  the  warden  or  his  deputies  for  trying  to  enforce  acta  that  the  legis- 
lature placed  in  tbe  statute  books. 


THE  WARDEN  SYSTEM. 

The  law  empowers  the  state  fish  and  game  wardai  to  appoint  one  or 
more  deputy  fish  and  game  wardens  in  each  county  in  which  ten  taxpayers 
request  him  to  do  so.  It  is  the  duty  of  these  county  wardens  to  assist  the 
state  warden  in  carrying  out  the  provisions  of  the  fish  and  game  law. 

NO  PBOVISION  FOR  THAVBLING  WARDENS. 

The  l^slature  made  no  provision  for  traveling  wardens,  who  might  be 
paid  for  their  services  and  sent  over  the  state  to  apprehend  lawbreakers 
in  places  where  for  one  reason  or  another  the  local  officers  had  not  suc- 
ceeded in  enforcing  the  law  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  parties  concerned. 

COMPENSATION   FOR  DEPUTY  WARDENS. 

The  only  comp^iaation  to  be  received  by  the  deputy  wardens  is  provided 
for  in  section  6  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911,  which  says :  "In  each  case  of 
conviction  there  shall  be  assessed  as  part  of  the  costs  the  aum  of  ten  dol- 
lars for  the  person  making  the  arrest,  to  be  collected  from  the  defendani, 
together  with  the  mileage  allowed  by  the  law  to  constables." 

WARDEN   SYSTEMS  IN   OTHER   STATES. 

From  a  study  of  the  warden  systems  of  other  states,  we  are  convinced 
that  no  system  is  altogether  satisfactory.  Some  states  pay  their  ward^is 
regular  salaries,  with  necessary  expenses.  This  has  proved  to  be  an  ex- 
paisive  system  and  in  many  respects  unsatisfactory.  The  oiBcers  and 
citisens  of  many  localities  frequently  resent  the  interference  of  outside 
wardens.  In  cases  where  they  cooperate  good  results  are  usually  obtained. 
It  might  be  wise  to  so  amend  the  taw  that  a  limited  number  of  traveling 
deputy  wardens  could  be  hired  to  do  special  work  in  localities  where 
needed.  They  could  work  by  the  day  or  by  the  month  as  necessity  mighl 
donand.

I  THE  LOCAL  OR  COUNTY  WARDBN  BY8TEK. 

The  system  employed  by  our  state,  while  not  altogether  satisfactory, 
has  brought  fairly  good  results.  As  a  rule,  the  local  wardms  do  good 
service,  but  the  nature  of  their  work  is  such  that  they  are  frequently  un- 
justly criticised  and  do  not  receive  the  moral  support  that  they  should 
receive  from  good,  law-abiding  citizens.  Many  of  them  as  officers  are  in- 
experienced men.  They  are  faithful  and  conscientious,  and  mean  to  be 
fair  and  do  the  right  thing.  However,  they  are  frequently  separated 
from  headquarters  by  long  distances  and  must  act  upon  their  own  in- 
itiative and  depend  upon  their  own  judgment,  not  being  able  to  seek  coun- 
sel before  making  an  arrest.  It  is  not  to  be  wondered  at  that  they  >ome- 
times  make  mistakes  when  we  consider  the  nature  of  the  cases  and  the 
conditions  they  have  to  contend  with.  They  apraid  much  time  in  looking 
up  law  violations  and  in  explaining  the  law  and  giving  advice,  for  which 
they  receive  no  compensation,  and  this  work,  with  isolated  exceptions,  is 
done  with  an  unselfish  spirit  for  the  public  good. 

WARDENS  CR£ATO  RBSPBCT  FOR  LAW. 

It  must  be  rem«nbcred  that  it  is  no  small  part  of  the  duty  of  the  deputy 
warden  to  create  respect  for  the  fish  and  game  laws  as  well  as  to 
apprehend  violations.  While  we  have  little  sympathy  for  the  fellow  whn 
knowingly  violates  the  law,  yet  we  feel  that  there  are  cases  where  the 
deputy  wardens  can,  and  do,  do  much  good  by  simply  giving  advice.  This 
is  especially  true  in  cases  of  first  offense,  where  boys  as  well  as  some  older 
persons  ignorantly  violate  some  technicality  of  the  law. 

WARDENS  APPOINTED  BY  LAW-ABIDING  CITIZENS. 

The  most  satisfactory  work  and  the  best  success  in  law  oiforcement 
has  been  achieved  in  localities  where  law-abiding  citizens  have  had  deputy 
wardens  appointed  on  their  own  recommendations  and  then  stood  behind 
them  in  their  efforts  to  enforce  the  law.  In  almost  every  locality  where  n 
body  of  law-abiding  citizens  announced  that  they  would  prosecute  the  per- 
son who  violated  the  fish  and  game  laws,  through  wardens  appointed  at 
their  own  request,  the  law  violators  ceased  to  operate.  If  they  did  not, 
one  or  two  prosecutions  usually  were  sufficient  to  induce  respect  for  the  law. 

FORM  OF   LETTER   SENT  TO   DEPUTY  WARDENS. 
Mr.  — — ^, ,   Kansa»: 

Dear  Sir — Inclosed  herewith  find  certificate  of  your  appointment  as 
deputy  fish  and  game  warden;  also  a  copy  of  the  fish  and  game  laws  of 
this  state. 

You  have  been  strongly  indorsed  by  resident  taxpayers  and  good  citi- 
zens of  your  county,  who  want  to  see  the  laws  fairly  and  impartially 
enforced,  and  I  trust  you  will  do  your  duty  as  an  officer,  being  zealous 
at  all  times,  but  never  officious,  in  carrying  out  the  work  of  this  de- 
partment. 

Your  county  attorney  will  be  ready  at  all  times  to  advise  you  how 
to  proceed  and  to  explain  sections  of  the  fish  and  game  laws  that  may 
not  be  clear  to  you.  It  is  his  duty  to  prosecute  all  persons  charged  with 
the  violation  of  the  fish  and  g-ame  laws.  You  will  be  expected  to  appre- 
hend all  violators  of  the  fish  and  game  laws,  and  take  them  before  the 
proper  court  for  trial.  I  advise  you  to  make  a  careful  study  of  the 
different  sections  of  this  law.  I  would  also  advise  you,  whoi  making 
arrests,  to  be  careful.     By  this  I  mean   that  you   should  not  subject

innocent  pardeB  to  arrest  Be  anre  that  the  persona  who  are  being 
arrested  have  violated  the  law,  and  that  the  evidence  you  have  w^ 
probabljr  convict  them  in  court.  Without  good  and  clear  evidence  of 
violation  you  will  find  that  it  is  bard  to  secure  a  conviction.  To  arrest 
pera(»iB  and  subject  them  to  a  trial  in  court  where  the  evidence  is  not 
good  not  only  does  an  injustice  to  the  persons  arrested,  but  subjects  this 
department  to  more  or  less  criticism,  and  reflects  upon  the  dignity  and 
eflidency  of  the  general  work  that  the  department  is  trying  to  do.  Your 
work  should  be  done  in  a  way  that  will  command  the  respect  and  approvKl 
of  all  fair-minded  people. 

This  department  and  your  county  attorney  will  always  be  ready  to 
advise  and  help  you  in  your  efForte  to  enforce  the  fish  and  game  laws. 
"Be  sure  you  are  right,  and  then  go  ahead." 

You  will  find  a  form  of  oath  attached  to  the  bottom  of  your  com- 
mission, which  it  will  be  necessary  for  you  to  swear  to  before  a  notary 
public  and  return  to  me. 

Please  report  all  prosecutions  to  the  department. 
Yours  very  truly,

SPORTSMEN. 


This  department  receives  many  letters  from  persons  where  such  ex- 
pressions as  "we,  the  sportsmen,"  or  the  "sportsmen  of  our  club,"  "our 
city,"  "our  town,"  or  "the  true  sportsmen  of  our  county"  or  "locality," 
are  frequently  used. 

The  ideas  of  the  people  who  call  themselves  sportsmen  are  so  diverse 
and  varied  that  we  are  very  much  at  a  loss  to  know  what  really  con- 
stitutes a  sportsman.  If  anyone  can  seid  us  a  definition  of  what  con- 
stitutes a  sportsman,  and  give  the  characteristics  of  a  true  sportsman 
that  the  sportsmen  themselves  will  subscribe  to,  such  person  or  persons 
will  confer  a  great  favor  upon  the  department  The  terms  "sportsmen," 
"hunters,"  "pothunters,"  "market  hunters"  and  "game  hogs"  are  also 
GWistanUy  used  in  c<»nmunications  to  the  department  The  warden  has 
more  or  less  business  to  transact  with  all  people  who  take  game  and  fish, 
and  thus  far  he  has  not  been  able  to  classify  them  according  to  descrip- 
tions furnished  by  one  another  of  each  other. 

OENTLEUBN  SPORTSMEN. 

We  know  some  gentlon^i  who,  looked  at  from  our  point  of  view,  we 
consider  true  sportsmen.  They  are  in  favor  of  game  laws  that  will 
protect  game  and  allow  it  to  increase.  They  like  to  take  a  day  off  from 
business  at  the  proper  time  and  go  into  the  fields  for  recreation.  They 
thoroughly  enjoy  hunting  for  the  sake  of  hunting,  and  not  for  the  sake 
of  killing.  A  few  game  birds  and  a  good  tramp  through  the  woods  and 
meadows,  over  hills  and  into  hollows,  satisfies  them  and  furnishes  what 
they  see  fit  to  call  a  "fine"  or  even  a  "glorious"  day's  outing.  One  of 
these  gentlemen  sportsmen  told  me  not  long  since  that  he  had  rather 
kill  six  birds  over  his  dog  than  to  kill  several  times  that  many  by  any 
other  method.  Such  sportsmen  get  great  pleasure  working  their  dogs 
in  the  field,  and  become  fascinated  with  the  fine  development  of  instinct 
and  sense  shown  in  these  animals  in  their  hunt  of  game  birds.     These

men  do  not  criticiae  the  fish  and  game  department  for  trying  to  do  its 
duty  alcHig  lines  especially  set  forth  by  the  proviaiona  of  the  law.  This 
class  of  sportaraioi  do  not  swear  at  the  fkrmer  or  landowner  who  does 
not  allow  hunting  on  his  place.  They  are  quick  to  recognize  the  fact 
that  from  such  centers  of  protection  come  the  breeding  stock  that  keeps 
up  the  general  supply  of  game.  Such  sportsmen  are  not  only  active 
thonsetves  in  their  support  of  the  game  lawa,  but  they  co5perate  with 
the  game  wardens  and  with  the  farmers  in  their  efforts  to  protect  game. 
We  consider  their  suggestions  and  advice  most  valuable,  and  we  are 
always  delighted  to  hear  from  these  gentlemen  sportsmen,  and  hope  they 
will  continue  to  cooperate  with  the  department  in  making  citable  fish 
and  game  laws  for  the  state. 

SPORTSMEN   IK   GENERAL. 

However,  a  great  majority  of  the  people  who  call  themselves  sports- 
men are  surely  not  agreed  on  what  they  would  like  to  have  in  the  way 
of  game  lawa.  It  will  not  be  possible  for  them  to  have  laws  that  will 
suit  them,  at  least  until  they  have  agreed  on  what  they  should  be.  Parties 
calling  themselves  sportsmen  are  now  asking  for  the  repeal  of  certain 
sections  of  the  law  passed  by  the  last  legislature  at  the  request  of  other 
parties  calling  themselves  sportsmen.  The  question  naturally  arises, 
Who  are  the  sportsmoi  of  Kansas?  And  what  do  the  true  gentlemen 
sportsmen  who  are  good,  law-abiding  citizena  want  in  the  fish  and  game 
taws?  The  present  fish  and  game  warden  will  be  pleased  to  hear  from 
these  people,  and  he  will  be  further  pleased  to  cooperate  with  them  in 
the  framing  of  any  law  that  seems  fair  to  and  good  for  all  the  people 
of  the  state. 


RABBIT  HUNTERS. 

Before  the  present  fish  and  game  law  was  enacted  many  complaints 
were  made  to  the  Department  of  Fish  and  Game  by  farmers  and  owners 
of  ranches  against  "rabbit  hunters." 

Under  the  (dd  law,  persons  who  hunted  rabbits  were  not  required  by 
law  to  carry  hunters'  licensee.  It  would  seem,  judging  from  the  reports 
that  come  to  the  department,  that  many  hunters,  and  Bometimea  parties 
of  hunters,  would  tramp  through  fielda  and  pastures  with  dogs  and  gnna 
shooting  rabbits,  and  in  many  instances  it  waa  reported  that  these 
hunters  shot  things  that  were  not  rabbits. 

When  a  game  warden  interfered  with  these  parties  he  was  told  that 
they  were  only  hunting  rabbits  and  did  not  have  to  carry  a  hunting 
license.  Much  complaint  was  made  by  farmers  and  stock  raisers  con- 
cerning the  damage  done  by  such  hunters.  Many  times  these  rabbit- 
hunting  trespassers  had  packs  of  doga  with  them.  The  ahooting  done 
by  the  hunters  and  the  chasing  of  rabbits  by  the  dogs  frequently 
frightened  dcKnesticated  animals,  causing  them  to  nm  into  barbed  wire 
fences,  break  out  of  their  inclosures,  or  otherwise  do  damage  to  them- 
selves or  adjacent  property.  Numbers  of  domesticated  animals  were 
reported  as  having  been  shot,  some  killed  and  others  crippled  by  these 
so-called  rabbit  hunters.

First  Biennial  Report.  13 

The  law  passed  by  the  last  legislature  requiring  rabbit  hunters  to 
cany  licenaea  was  not  intended  to  protect  the  rabbits,  but  the  farmerB 
and  stock  raisers  who  are  continually  annoyed  by  rabbit  hunters.  But 
little  complaint  has  come  to  this  department  on  account  of  the  enact- 
ment of  this  law,  except  from  some  parties  in  the  western  part  of  the 
state,  where  jack  rabbits  are  a  nuisance.  In  such  places  the  people 
sometimes  have  what  they  call  a  "round-up"  hunt  for  jack  rabbits  or 
for  coyote  wolves.  Frwn  twenty-five  to  a  hundred  or  more  people  fre- 
quently desire  to  join  in  these  hunts.  Many  of  the  hunters  do  not  have 
hunters'  licenses. 

A  number  of  applications  have  been,  made  to  this  department  for 
permits  to  carry  on  these  Neighborhood  hunts.  The  department  has  no 
authority  to  give  such  permits.  There  was  no  provision  made  in  the  law 
for  conducting  such  hunting  parties.  Even  though  the  members  of  such 
hunting  parties  carried  hunting  licenses,  the  trespass  laws  forbidding 
hunting  on  occupied  lands  without  permission  should  be  considered. 

This  department  has  no  objection  to  such  hunting  parties,  made  up 
for  the  purpose  of  hunting  wolves  and  rabbits,  provided  they  can  be 
conducted  according  to  law.  However,  we  desire  to  say  that  we  have 
received  many  letters  from  parties  living  in  districts  where  these  bunts 
have  been  carried  on,  making  protests  and  calling  upon  this  department 
for  advice  and  help.  Complaints  have  been  made  in  many  instances  that 
these  hunting  parties,  in  their  chase  for  wolves  and  rabbits,  cut  and 
tore  down  fences,  left  gates  open  that  allowed  stock  to  eacspe,  and  did 
other  and  further  damage  by  running  over  cultivated  fields.  Serious 
objections  were  made  to  such  "reckless"  hunting  parties  going  through 
farms  and  over  other  grounds.  We  have  no  particular  recommendation 
to  make  along  these  lines,  but  will  favor  any  measures  that  may  seem 
advisable  for  the  benefit  and  protection  of  all  parties  concerned. 


SPRING  SHOOTING. 
Many  states  have  passed  laws  prohibiting  the  shooting  of  game  birds 
in  the  spring.  All  noted  biological  students  of  bird  life  in  the  country 
advise  such  a  law.  It  does  not  seem  right  that  even  game  birds  should 
be  killed  during  the  mating  and  breeding  season.  I  regret  to  say  it,  but  in 
years  past  I  have  killed  ducks  and  other  water  birds  in  the  spring  that  had 
eggs  in  them  almost  ready  to  be  placed  in  a  nest.  It  is  wrong  to  kill 
such  birds.  Why  not  let  them  live  a  little  longer  and  give  them  a 
chance  to  produce  a  brood  of  a  dozen  or  more  young  birds?  Then  there 
would  be  many  more  birds  to  kill  in  the  fall  of  the  year,  when  they  are 
young  and  tender  and  very  much  more  desirable  for  table  use. 

DUCKS    NESTED    IN    KAN8A6. 

Formerly  the  mallard  duck,  the  wood  duck,  the  blue-winged  teal  and 
a  few  other  species  nested  in  our  state.  Now  a  duck  has  a  slight  chance 
of  staying  anywhere  in  the  state  twenty-four  hours  without  having  a 
load  of  shot  fired  at  it.  They  might  nest  in  the  state  now  in  favorable 
localities  if  tJiey  received  proper  protection.

VOmaSRN  BBEGDINfi  ABOUNDS. 

So  much  of  the  northern  country,  both  in  the  States  and  the  province 
of  Celnada,  has  been  opened  up  to  aetUetnent  during-  the  paet  few  ye*n 
that  the  natural  breeding  grounds  for  wild  water  birds  has  been  moch 
reduced  in  area.  Under  such  conditions,  if  the  birds  are  to  be  continually 
harraaaed  by  gunners,  and  their  ranks  ccmtinually  decimated  during  the 
mating  and  breeding  season,  their  fate  in  the  future  can  easily  be 
predicted. 

By  protecting  these  birds  we  will  protect  our  own  interests  and  the 
interests  of  those  who  come  after  us.  If  we  do  not  protect  the  birds 
during  the  breeding  season  and  the  grounds  used  for  nesting  purposes, 
I  do  not  see  how  we  can  expect  to  have  many  birds  in  the  future. 

While  the  above  expresses  our  sentiments,  we  are  not  deaf  to  the 
complaints  of  Kansas  hunters  who,  when  asked  to  favor  laws  against 
spring  shooting,  refer  to  our  sister  states,  where  open  seasons  for  shoot- 
ing is  allowed  as  follows  for  ducks  and  geese: 

Nebraska,  September  1  to  April  6;  Missouri,  September  15  to  May  1; 
Oklahoma  (ducks),  September  1  to  April  1  (geese  not  protected); 
Colorado,  October  1  to  March  1 ;  Texas,  gives  no  protection  to  water 
birds;  Louisiana,  October  1  to  March  1. 

We  extend  an  earnest  invitation  to  Nebraska,  Missouri,  Oklahoma, 
Colorado,  Texas  and  Louisiana  people  to  join  hands  with  us  and  help 
us,  that  we  may  all  get  right  on  this  migratory-bird  proposition  before 
it  is  too  late.  Let  us  give  some  consideration  to  wild  life,  and  thus  show 
to  future  generations  that  we  are  at  least  as  good  as  the  wild  and 
savage  race  of  people  that  formerly  occupied  the  country — a  race  that 
we  are  exterminating,  but  a  race  that  did  not  exterminate  the  wild  life 
indigenous  to  the  mountains,  forests  and  plains  in  which  it  lived. 


SONG  AND  INSECT-EATING  BIRDS. 

The  legislature  of  1911  was  the  first  in  the  state  of  Kansas  to  pass 
a  general  law  protecting  song  and  insect-eating  birds.  There  are  a  few 
birds  very  valuable  for  destroying  the  seeds  of  noxious  weeds  that 
technically  may  not  come  under  the  provisions  of  the  law,  as  passed. 
We  would  recommend  that  all  birds,  except  those  that  are  specially  pro- 
vided for  as  game  birds  and  those  specially  mentioned  as  outlaws,  be 
protected  all  the  time. 

Birds  are  the  natural  enemies  of  insects  and  the  natural  frioids  of 
agriculture  and  horticulture.  Most  young  birds  are  fed  upon  insects. 
It  has  been  estimated  that  each  young  insect-eating  bird  eats  an  amount 
of  insect  food  equal  to  its  own  weight  each  day  from  the  time  it  is 
hatched  until  it  is  ready  to  fly.  The  insect-eating  bird  life  is  worth 
millions  of  dollars  to  the  state  each  year,  and  should  be  protected  if 
for  no  other  reason  than  for  its  economic  importance. 

Many  cases  have  been  reported  to  the  department  where  boys  with 
small  guns  kill  birds.  We  have  been  loath  to  submit  boys  under  sixteen 
years  of  age  to  arrest,  but  have  advised  with  them  and  their  parents. 
Children  should  be  taught,  in  every  schoolhouse  In  the  state,  the  value

of  bir4  life.  By  this  means  a  true  reaped  for  bird  life  can  be  created. 
Boya  who  are  now  kiliing  birds  with  slingshots  and  airguns  might  be 
made  to  see  and  appreciate  the  value  of  bird  life  to  that  extent  that 
they  would  not  wily  protect  birda  and  their  nests  in  the  fields,  but  would 
be  willing  to  put  up  bird  houses  that  would  afford  nesting  plains  for 
the  wild  birds  near  their  homes.    A  boy  should  be  a  bird's  best  friend. 

1  know  of  no  greater  enemy  of  birds  than  the  domestic  cat.  Quail, 
robina,  thrushes  and  most  of  the  ccanmon  song  and  insect-eating  birds 
find  in  the  cat  their  most  dangerous  enemy.  I  am  puzzled  to  know  just 
what  to  recommend  about  cats.  Most  cats  are  of  little  or  no  value,  and 
if  nine-tenths  of  them  were  dead,  bird  life  (which  is  of  great  value  to 
the  country)  would  be  greatly  increased.  And  there  would  surely  be  a. 
great  increase  in  the  number  of  quail,  robins  and  thnisbes  that  would' 
make  their  permanent  living  quarters  near  barnyards  and  in  orchards 
and  vineyards.    It  may  be  necessary  to  have  a  cat  license. 


THE  NEW  FISH  LAWS. 

The  last  l^elature  passed  practically  a  new  law  to  govern  the  fishing 
interests  in  the  state  of  Kansas.  This  law  contains  a  number  of  new 
features.  However,  the  intent  and  purpose  of  this  law  is  to  so  protect 
and  so  increase  the  supply  of  fiah  in  Kansas  ponds,  lakes  and  streams 
that  there  will  be  more  fish  for  more  pe<vle. 

One  of  the  features  of  the  law  not  well  understood  is  the  provision 
that  only  one  hook  can  be  used  on  a  line.  The  object  of  this  clause  in 
the  law  was  to  prevent  catching  lish  with  a  bunch  of  hooks  tied  on  a  line 
and  used  as  a  snag-  or  grabhook.  When  the  water  is  cold,  and  especially 
when  it  is  covered  with  ice,  it  frequently  happais  that  the  fish  bed 
in  deep  water  beside  an  old  log  or  other  convenient  places.  This  makes 
it  possible  for  certain  persons  with  a  bunch  of  hooka  on  the  end  of  a 
line  to  drop  the  hooka  into  such  schools  of  flsh  and  to  snag  the  fish  by 
giving  the  hooks  a  quick  jerk.  Great  numbers  of  flsh  are  sometimes  taken 
in  this  way.  Many  cases  have  been  reported  where  flah  have  been  taken 
below  a  dam  or  other  favored  place  where  fish  naturally  ctmgregate,  by 
tiie  use  of  grabhooks  or  snaghooks. 

There  could  really  be  no  objection  to  fishing  in  the  old-fashioned  way, 
with  two  or  three  hooks  on  a  line.  It  is  hard  to  frame  a  law  that  will 
prevent  using  three  or  four  hooks  on  a  line  as  grabhooks  and  at  the  same 
time  allow  a  person  to  fish  with  three  or  four  hooka  on  a  line.  Twenty- 
five  hooks  may  be  used  on  a  "trotiine,"  provided  they  are  a  reasonable 
distance  apart  and  used  in  a  stream  as  a  "trotiine."  Most  fishermen 
use  but  one  hook  on  a  line,  and  prefer  this  method  of  fishing  to  using 
three  or  four.  The  law  does  not  prevent  using  several  lines  each  with 
one  hook  on  it. 

Another  feature  of  this  new  fish  law  provides  that  any  citizen  of  the 
state  of  Kansas  may  obtain  a  permit  from  the  fish  and  gafiie  warden  to 
own  and  use  a  seine  with  meshes  three  inches  aquare,  during  certain 
seasons  of  the  year  and  under  certain  prescribed  conditions.  This  law 
makes  it  possible  for  a  citizen  to  own  and  use  a  seine.     He  can  take  a

number  of  persons  with  him  to  help  operate  this  seine.  The  idea  of  ti 
three-inch-mesh  seine  is  that  Ash  weighing  from  three  pounds  upwards 
may  be  caught.  After  flsh  reach  this  size  it  is  proper  that  they  should 
be  caught  and  used  for  food.  Many  of  the  larger  fish,  such  as  the 
buffalo  and  the  carp,  rarely  bite  a  hook,  and  when  they  do  they  are  hard 
to  land.    By  the  use  of  a  seine  they  can  be  taken  readily  and  lawfully. 

A  seine  with  meshes  three  inches  square  makes  it  possible  for  the 
young  fish  up  to  three  pounds  to  pass  through  its  meshes,  and  as  most 
fish  spawn  at  least  once  by  the  time  they  reach  the  weight  of  three 
pounds,  this  provision  of  the  law  guarantees  a  continual  supply  of  fish 
in  the  streams.  It  seems  to  us  a  wise  provision  of  the  law  that  protects 
the  young  fish  until  they  can  spawn  at  least  once  before  they  can  be 
taken  with  any  kind  of  a  net  or  seine.  After  the  fish  have  reached  a 
size  larger  than  three  pounds  it  seems  not  only  legitimate  but  advisable 
to  allow  them  to  be  caught  by  use  of  a  seine  and  used  for  food. 

At  first  people  were  inclined  to  make  light  of  this  provision  of  the 
law.  However,  letters  received  from  persons  who  have  used  these  seines 
indicate  that  they  are  pleased,  and  they  pronounce  the  law  a  good  one, 
as  it  works  for  the  benefit  of  both  the  fish  and  the  fisherman.  One 
correspondent  writes  that  the  farmers  in  his  locality  are  pleased  with 
the  law.  He  said  that  "the  fanners  do  not  have  time  to  fish  with  hook 
and  line,  and  when  they  do  they  seldom  catch  anything*."  "This  law," 
he  continues,  "makes  it  possible  for  the  fanners  to  get  flsh  without 
violating  the  law." 


FISH  DISTRIBUTION. 

Fish  for  brood-stock  purposes  are  raised  at  the  hatchery  and  dis- 
tributed to  different  parts  of  the  state  from  the  state  flsh  car.  Perscms 
who  want  fish  should  apply  to  the  Department  of  Fish  and  Game  and 
get  an  application,  which  they  can  fill  out  and  return  to  the  department. 
This  enables  the  department  to  furnish  the  necessary  information  to  all 
applicants.  There  are  fourteen  tanks  for  transporting  fish  in  the  car, 
capable  of  holding  2000  gallons  of  water.  The  new  water-supply  system 
that  we  introduced  for  keeping  the  water  fresh  and  aerated  makes  it 
possible  to  carry  from  500  to  1200  fiah  in  each  tank,  the  number  de- 
pending up<m  weather  conditions,  temperature  of  the  water  and  the  kind 
and  sise  of  flsh  to  be  transported. 

We  have  distributed  over  200,000  fiah  since  we  have  been  warden. 
About  two-thirds  of  these  were  placed  in  ponds  in  different  parts  of  the 
state,  and  about  one-third  were  turned  loose  in  tiie  streams.  The  kinds 
distributed  were  for  the  most  part  bass,  giant  crappie,  bluegill,  sunftsh 
and  bullhead  catfish. 

The  demand  for  fish,  which  has  come  from  nearly  every  county  in  the 
state,  has  been  several  times  greater  than  the  supply  at  the  hatchery. 
We  have  had  good  success  in  raising  flsh,  but  have  had  only  seven  ponds 
for  breeding  "and  raising  them.  The  new  hatchery,  which  will  be  com- 
pleted in  October,  will  add  eighty  three  breeding,  nursery  and  stock  ponds 
to  the  plant.  These  ponds  will  average  about  one  acre  each  in  siM- 
There  will  be  many  stock  ponds  where  flsh  can  be  held  until  they  are  one

and  two  years  old,  and  there  will  be  food  enough  in  these  ponds  ao  that 
the  young  fish  will  not  feed  to  any  great  extent  upon  each  other. 

Ehiring  the  past  season  the  department  handled  about  76,000  flsh  for 
stock  and  breeding  purposes,  making  nearly  300  deliveries.  We  continued 
the  experiment  that  we  started  two  years  ago  of  distributing  two-  and 
even  three-year-old  fish.  The  experiments  have  proved  very  succeasfuL 
The  advantages  of  stocking  the  ponds  and  streams  with  fish  large  and 
old  enough  to  spawn  are  many. 

The  experiments  and  the  results  will  be  set  forth  later  in  a  bulletin. 
About  80,000  two-  and  three-year-old  fish  were  distributed  in  stock  pondi 
for  the  state.  Selected  specimens  from  this  supply  will  be  used  to  stock 
the  eighty-three  ponds  of  the  new  hatchery. 


NOTES  ON  THE  NEW  AND  IMPROVED  FISH 
HATCHERY. 

The  contract  for  building  the  new  and  improved  flsh  hatchery  at 
Pratt,  Kan.,  was  let  to  James  A.  Green  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  of  Chicago,  Novem- 
ber 21,  1911,  for  approximately  the  sum  of  ^50,667.22.  The  following 
include  the  chief  items  in  the  construction  of  this  hatchery,  namely: 

A  concrete  dam  600  feet  in  lentfth,  with  earth-embankment  extension 
of  146  feet  built  over  piling.  A  concrete  intake  chamber,  with  bronze 
and  iron  gates  and  other  appurtenances  for  controlling  the  water.  A 
water-supply  conduit  of  21-inch  vitrified  clay  pipe,  6875  feet  in  length, 
wilji  10  manholes  and  other  structures.  Approximately  124,000  cubic 
yards  of  levee  embankment.  Approximately  880  feet  of  12-inch,  4000 
feet  of  10-inch  and  17,000  feet  of  8-inch  vitrified  clay  pipe,  laid  in 
trenches  fr<nn  8  to  9  feet  in  depth. 

There  are  94  concrete  structures  and  water  transmitters,  with  ISl 
bronze  and  iron  sluice  gates,  mostly  8-ineh,  and  five  cast-iron  flood  gates. 
There  ate  800  wire-mesh  screens,  30  x  36  inches.  These  screens  were 
made  by  lacing  wire-mesh  screening,  by  the  use  of  copper  wire,  on  frames 
made  of  %-ihch  wrought-iron  pipes. 

The  above  includes  some  of  the  things  specified  in  the  building  of 
the  new  hatchery. 

The  eighty-three  new  ponds  now  being  added  to  the  eleven  in  the  old 
hatchery  will  give  ninel^-four  for  immediate  use.  Plans  are  drawn  for 
the  addition  of  seventeen  more  ponds.  All  told,  the  new  pond  system 
will  cover  160  acres  of  land,  a  strip  one-quarter  mile  wide  and  one  mile 
l<mg.  The  ponds  will  average  about  one  acre  each  in  surface  area,  and 
will  furnish  something  like  fifteen  miles  of  shore  line  for  old  fish  to 
breed  on  and  the  young  fish  to  feed  on. 

The  contract  time  for  finishing  this  part  of  the  fish-hatchery  work 
was  extended  from  August  1,  1912,  to  October  16,  on  account  of  much 
bad  weatJier  when  the  work  could  not  be  carried  on. 

Plans  have  been  prepared  and  approved  for  the  construction  of  twenty- 
two  new  buildings  on  the  hatchery  grounds.  Contracts  for  these  build- 
ings were  let  September  19,  1912,  the  most  important  of  which  will  be  a 
fish  and  game  building,  to  be  used  for  offices,  library,  laboratories  and

other  purposes  connected  with  the  management  of  Ash-hatdiery  busineBs. 
This  building  will  have  an  aquarium,  annex,  to  be  used  in  connectian  with 
the  laboratories,  where  investigations  and  experiments  will  be  condncted- 
There  are  plans  for  residences  and  cottages  for  the  assistants  and  care- 
takers, who  should  live  on  the  fish  farm,  and  plans  for  power  boose, 
bam,  tool  houses  and  such  other  small  structures  as  are  needed  on  the 
hatchery  grounds. 

The  contract  for  the  fish  and  game  building  and  the  power  house  was 
let  to  Horner  Bros.,  of  Topeka,  Kan.,  for  approximately  the  sum  of 
919,246. 

The  contract  (or  the  warden's  residence,  superintendent's  cottage,  the 
three  cottages  (one  for  the  farm  man,  one  for  the  water  man,  one  for 
the  fish  man),  the  bam  and  fifteen  small  tool  houses,  was  let  to  Stans- 
bury  &  Hardman,  of  Parsons,  Ean.,  for  approximately  $9^65.9^. 

Bids  for  the  above  contracts  were  opened  and  considered  by  the 
Regents  of  the  University  October  19,  1912,  at  Lawrence,  Kan. 

The  contract  time  for  finishing  the  above  work  was  fixed  at  March  1, 
1918.  Proposals  for  heating,  plumbing  and  other  related  matters  will  be 
considered  the  22d  of  October,  1912.

LETTERS  AND  FORMS. 
LEmx  ABOin'  nan  and  the  nsH  hatchery. 

This  ia  the  fonn  of  a  letter  sent  to  dtizene  of  KwnHaw  when  a  blank 
application  for  flsh  for  brood-stock  puipofles  ii  forwarded  to  them: 

Dea*  SiB~The  Btate  flsh  hatchery  is  located  at  Pratt,  Kan.  The  new 
hatchery  now  being:  built  will  have  about  100  acres  of  water,  divided  into 
about  100  breeding  and  nnraery  ponds.  In  this  hatchery,  which  is 
sjtread  over  a  piece  of  ^ound  one  mile  long  and  a  quarter  of  a  mile 
wide,  the  department  will  undertake  to  raise  flsh  to  stock  the  streams 
and  ponds  of  Kansas.  The  flsh  raised  will  be  of  the  common  native 
varieties,  snch  as  base,  crappie,  aunfish  and  catfish.  If  you  have  a  stream 
or  a  pond  that  ^u  desire  to  stock,  get  into  communication  with  the 
Department  of  Fish  and  Game;  get  one  of  its  blank  applications  for  fish, 
and  carefully  fill  it  out. 

It  is  the  chief  business  of  the  state  hatchery  to  raise  flsh  for  hrood- 
atock  purposes.  The  fish  will  be  delivered  at  your  nearest  railroad  station 
without  cost.  The  number  distributed  each  vear  will  depend  upon  the 
crop  raised  at  the  state  hatchery,  and  it  will  be  proportioned  in  delivery 
to  the  water  area  to  be  stocked. 

It  is  expected  that  those  who  receive  fish  will  give  them  proper  at- 
tention and  protection.  It  will  be  of  little  or  no  use  to  stock  streams  and 
ponds  if  the  fish  are  destroyed  before  thay  have  had  time  to  reproduce. 
Success  will  depend  largely  on  your  ability  to  care  for  and  handle  tiie 
breedini;  stock.  It  is  not  advisable  to  place  young  fish  in  a  pond  or 
body  of  water,  limited  in  size,  where  there  are  old  game  fish,  such  as 
black  basa  or  channel  catflih;  the  young  flsh  would  soon  be  devoured  as 
food.  A  good  growth  of  plants  afford  more  or  leas  protection,  as  well 
aa  food,  for  young  fish.  Crappie  and  bullhead  catfish  are  among  the  very 
best  flsh  for  ponds. 

Bulletins  on  "Ponds"  and  on  "Pond  Fish"  have  been  issued  by  the 
department.  They  can  be  had  by  sending  four  cents  in  stamps  for  each. 
A  third  bulletin  on  "Pond  Pish  Culture"  is  being  prepared.  Through 
these  bulletins  the  department  hopes  to  give  much  needed  and  valuable 
information. 

Please  report  your  failures  and  successes  to  this  department,  and 
receive  such  information  as  it  roa^  be  able  to  furnish  you. 

The  fish  car  makes  trips  during  the  spring  and  fall.  You  will  be 
notified  from  ten  to  fifteen  days  before  it  starts  on  its  trip  through  your 
IcK^lity,  and  later  of  the  exact  hour  of  its  arrival  at  your  station. 
Special  instructions  will  also  be  sent  you  for  the  care  and  transportation 
of  tJie  flsh  from  the  station  to  the  water  to  be  stocked.

LETTER   TO   CITIZENS    ABOVT   DEPUTY   WARDENS. 

The  following  is  a  form  of  letter  which  the  Deparbnent  of  Fish  and 
Game  sends  out  to  citizens  of  the  state  of  Kansas  who  desire  the  ap- 
pointment of  deputy  fish  and  game  wardens  in  their  localities: 
To  the  Lav!-abidhig  Cititena  of  Kvmaaa: 

Gentlemen — The  Department  of  Tish  and  Game  of  the  state  of  Kan- 
sas considers  it  a  matter  of  first  importance  that  good  and  able  men  be 
secured  for  deputy  wardens. 

Enclosed  you  will  find  a  blank  form  of  application.  Forms  like  the 
enclosed  are  being  sent  to  organizations  of  good  citizens  in  every  part 
of  the  state.  By  this  means  the  department  hopes  to  call  the  attention 
of  the  law-abiding  citizens  to  the  fact  that  it  needs  help  in  securing  good 
wardens;  and  it  further  hopes  that  those  who  receive  these  blanks  will 
show  sufficient  interest  in  the  matter  to  recommend  one  or  more  first- 
class  men  who,  in  their  judgment,  would  make  good  officials. 

The  demand  for  good,  active  d^utiee  is  emphasised  from  the  fact  that 
complaints  are  almost  daily  sent  to  the  department  concerning  thought- 
less and  irregular  persons  who  are  violating  our  fish  and  game  laws. 

Are  you  interested  in  the  work  of  the  department  and  its  future  de- 
velopment? If  90,  please  show  your  interest  and  good  will  by  aiding  the 
department  in  securing  good  wardens. 

Your  local  warden  should  be  one  of  your  best  citisens,  and  he  should 
receive  not  only  your  moral  but  your  active  support.  You  should  not  only 
stand  by  him  in  his  efforts  to  bring  law  violators  to  justice,  but  you 
should  make  it  a  part  of  your  business  to  aEsist  him.  If  he  should  arrest 
you  for  violating  the  law,  please  remember  that  he  is  only  performing 
his  sworn  duty  as  an  officer;  for  this  he  should  receive  your  comm^ula- 
tion  and  that  of  all  good,  law-abiding  citizens  of  the  community. 

The  demand  for  good  home  and  county  deputy  wardens  is  all  the 
more  imperative  since  there  is  no  provision  in  the  law  for  traveling 
wardens  who  might  be  hired  and  sent  to  different  parts  of  the  state. 

The  department  not  only  desires  to  cooperate  with  you  in  caring  for 
the  fish  and  game  already  in  your  neighborhood,  but  it  hopes  to  be  able 
to  increase  the  supply  by  furnishing  you  with  fresh  stock  from  time  to 

Will  you  protect  your  thickete  and  fields,  your  ponds  and  streams,  and 
give  both  fisn  and  game  a  chance  to  increase  and  become  plentiful  once

With  thifl  idea  in  view,  l«t  us  work  together  for  the  common  good, 
so  that  when  a  law-abiding  citizen  deairea  "to  go  a-hunting"  the  woods 
and  fields  will  be  fu!l  of  birds  and  beasts;  and  when  he  wants  "to  go 
a-fishing"  the  ponds  and  streams  will  be  alive  with  good  flsh  Just  waiting 
to  be  caught.  Respectfully  submitted.

any  hatnan  being. 

2.  Never  take  a  loaded  gun  in  the  house. 

S.    Never  get  into  any  kind  of  a  vehicle — buggy,  wagcn,  boat  or  auto- 
mobile—with  a  loaded  gun. 

4.  Never  climb  over  or  through  a  fence,  or  jump  a  small  stream,  with 
a  loaded  gun  in  hand.

CONVICTIONS  SECURED  FOR  VIOLATIONS  OF  THE 
FISH  AND  GAME  LAWS. 

Below  is  a  list  of  convictions  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  Jane  30,  1912, 
as  far  as  reported.  Before  the  last  legislature  enacted  a  law  requiring 
magistrates  to  report  to  the  fish  and  game  warden  prosecutions  and  con- 
victions, there  was  no  law  requiring  reports.  Even  now,  with  a  minimum 
fine  of  one  dollar,  it  ia  with  more  or  less  difficulty  that  reports  of  arrests 
and  convictions  are  secured.  We  do  not  have  space  to  publish  names  of 
parties  convicted,  and  would  not  care  to  do  it  if  we  had.  In  most  cases  it 
was  the  first  offense,  and  in  many  cases  the  law  was  violated  through 
ignorance  or  thoughtlessness.  We  do  not  desire  to  make  a  record  by 
'tecuring  a  large  number  of  arrests  and  convictions.  Our  deputy  wardens 
are  advised  not  to  submit  any  one  to  arrest  unless  the  evidence  of  law 
violation  is  such  that  it  becomes  abscdutely  necessary  to  take  such  a  step. 
While  we  understand  that  it  is  our  duty  to  arrest  people  who  violate  the 
law,  and  while  we  propose  to  do  our  duty,  yet  we  desire  to  use  every

effort  possible  to  induce  a  respect  for  the  law  that  will  reduce  the  namber 
of  arrests  to  a  minimum.    The  list  of  eonnetions  is  as  follows:

Sixth  Biennial  Report. 


The  State  Printinsr  Committee  havins:  decided  to  make  all 
reports  covering  fiscal  years  only,  the  following  report  covers, 
therefore,  the  time  between  January  1, 1911,  and  June  30, 1912. 

The  general  health  conditions  of  the  state  for  the  period  of 
time  included  in  this  report  have  been  fairly  satisfactory, 
viewed  from  the  standpoint  that  there  were  no  great  or  geneial 
outbreaks  of  malignant  diseases,  although  viewed  from  the 
standpoint  of  the  up-to-date  sanitarian,  familiar  with  the  cause 
and  dissemination  of  preventable  diseases,  the  situation  is  not 
so  encouraging.  In  other  words,  there  has  been  a  great  deal 
of  sickness  and  a  good  many  deaths  in  Kansas  during  this 
period  of  time,  as  well  as  during  other  periods  of  time  now 
passed,  that  with  our  present  knowledge  might  have  been  pre- 
vented. 

The  work  of  the  various  divisions  of  the  department  has  been 
accomplished,  with  such  means  as  the  legislature  provided,  in 
a  satisfactory  fashion,  although  each  succeeding  year  finds 
the  work  in  the  various  divisions  largely  increased. 

EPIDEMIC  POLIOMYELITIS  (INFANTILE  PARALYSIS). 

Following  the  rather  severe  epidemics  of  1909  and  1910, 
there  was  a  gradual  diminution  of  the  incidence  of  the  disease 
during  1911.  The  work  of  investigation  undertaken  by  the 
department  to  determine,  if  possible,  the  cause  of  the  disease 
and  the  method  of  dissemination  of  the  supposed  infectious 
material  has  been  continued,  and  much  valuable  information 
has  been  secured.  The  disease  has  been  experimentally  pro- 
duced in  monkeys  at  our  laboratories  in  the  School  of  Medicine 
at  Rosedale,  and  has  also  been  transmitted  from  monkey  to 
monkey.  Investigation  of  the  incidence  of  the  disease  in 
domestic  animals  has  also  been  undertaken,  but  without  posi- 
tive results  up  to  the  present  time.  This  work  has  been  under 
the  direct  supervision  of  Dr.  A.  L.  Skoog  of  the  School  of 
Medicine  of  the  Univei^ity  of  Kansas. 
PELLAGRA. 

In  1911  eleven  cases  of  pellagra  were  reported  to  this  de- 
partanent,  all  but  one  of  the  cases  occurring  in  the  southeastern 
part  of  the  state.  Careful  investigation  of  these  cases  revealed 
the  fact  that  they  were  all  residents  of  the  state,  there  being 
but  two  instances  where  there  was  a  possibility  that  the  in- 
fection occurred  outside  the  state.  This  leads  to  the  belief  that 
(6) 


DigiizJdbvCOOgle 


6  State  Board  of  Health. 

the  infectious  agent,  whatever  it  may  be,  is  present  within  the 
borders  of  the  state,  and  we  have  therefore  undertaken  in- 
vestigation to  determine,  if  possible,  the  nature  and  the  source 
of  this  infectious  agent. 

Prof.  S.  J.  Hunter,  state  entomologist  of  the  University, 
has  kindly  consented  to  join  with  this  department  in  such  in- 
vestigation, and  an  attempt  is  being  made  to  determine 
whether  or  not  the  so-called  Sanbon  theory  is  true ;  that  is  to 
say,  whether  or  not  the  disease  is  transmitted  throng  the  bite 
of  what  is  called  a  "sand  fly."  Accordingly,  a  car^l  survey 
has  been  made  of  the  section  of  country  in  which  these  p«tieBts 
are  found,  to  determine  the  presence  of  the  sand  fly,  and  in 
every  instance  thus  far  examined  the  sand  fly  was  found  in 
near-by  streams.  The  question  then  resolves  itself  as  to 
whether  or  not  the  sand  fly  is  the  active  agent  in  the  trans- 
mission of  the  disease.  Experimental  wot%  was  carried  on 
last  year  and  is  being  continued  this  year  with  mimkeys,  in 
an  effort  to  determine  the  truth  or  falsity  of  the  Sanbon  theory, 
and  the  department  expresses  the  hope  that  sufficient  funds 
may  be  given  us  by  the  legislature  to  carry  on  these  experi- 
ments to  completion. 

EPIDEMIC  CBEEBKOSPINAL  MENINGITIS. 

During  the  winter  of  1911-'12  an  unusually  large  number 
of  cases  of  epidemic  cerebrospinal  meningitis  occurired  in  this 
state,  most  of  them  in  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  though  the  disease 
could  be  said  to  be  epidemic  in  the  two  Kansas  Citys.  About 
300  cases  occurred  within  the  state  during  the  winter,  with  a 
mortality  of  about  66  per  cent.  The  policy  of  the  department 
of  furnishing  antimeningitis  serum  for  the  treatment  of  in- 
digent cases  proved  to  be  exceedingly  valuable  and  fortunate, 
inasmuch  as  at  one  time  we  were  the  only  source  of  the 
serum  west  of  Chicago,  and  thus  we  were  enabled  beyond  any 
manner  of  doubt  to  save  the  lives  of  a  number  of  people  by 
having  this  serum  for  distribution.  More  will  be  said  con- 
cerning the  distribution  of  serums,  antitoxins  and  vaccines 
under  the  heading  of  "Antitoxins,"  etc. 
RABIES. 

The  prevalence  of  rabies  among  dogs  and  other  domestic 
animals  in  this  state  has  been  increasing  to  an  alarming  degree 
during  the  past  few  years.  I  believe  it  can  be  said  without 
exaggeration  that  there  is  scarcely  a  county  in  the  eastern 
half  of  the  state  that  has  escaped  infection  in  some  parts  of 
the  county.  Large  numbers  of  live  stock  have  been  lost  due 
to  being  bitten  by  rabid  dogs,  the  loss  totaling  a  sum  which, 
while  it  is  impossible  to  accurately  state  because  of  lack  of 
definite  statistics,  yet,  according  to  Commissioner  Mercer's 
estimate,  is  at  least  $25,000.  In  a  number  of  instances  my 
personal  attention  was  called  to  the  fact  that  entire  herds  of 


ly  Google 


Sixth  Biennial  Report.  7 

hogs  were  thus  destroyed.  But  the  loss  of  stock  is  perhaps 
the  least  important  feature  of  the  situation,  as  the  danger  to 
human  life  can  hardly  be  exag^rated.  It  is  estimated  from 
such  sources  of  information  as  are  at  hand  that  some  200  per- 
sons have  been  bitten  in  Kansas  during  1911  and  1912  by  what 
subsequently  proved  to  be  rabid  anim^,  mostly  dogs.  During 
that  time  there  have  been  three  deaths  from  rabies  or  hydro- 
phobia, results  of  such  bites  reported  to  the  department.  The 
Bell  Memorial  Hospital  at  Rosedale,  through  this  department, 
since  October  1  has  given  thirty-nine  Pasteur  treatments  to 
the  citizens  of  Kansas  who  have  thus  been  bitten.  A  great 
many  persons  have  gone  to  the  Pasteur  Institutes  at  Chicago 
and  at  St.  Louis,  and  others  have  been  treated  in  Topdca  and 
elsewhere. 

It  is  ursrently  recommended  that  some  definite,  specific  legis- 
lation be  enacted  to  suppress  and  control  the  increasing  prev- 
alence of  rabies. 

ANTITOXINS,  SERUMS,  VACCINES,  ETC. 
For  the  past  two  years  the  department  has  been  distributing 
to  the  indigent  poor  of  the  state  free  diphtheritic  antitoxins, 
stations  for  such  distribution  being  established  in  every  town 
in  the  state  having  a  population  of  600  or  over.  This  dis- 
tribution is  based  on  the  proposition  of  being  a  necessary 
measure  for  the  prevention  and  suppression  of  diphtheria.  The 
scientific  world  is  a  unit  in  its  indorsement  of  this  method  of 
treatment  of  the  sick,  and  of  immunizing  those  who  have  been 
exposed  to  prevent  them  from  taking  the  disease.  Indeed,  it 
is  now  unanimously  recognized  that  there  is  no  other  scientiflc 
or  effective  treatment  for  diphtheria.  The  antitoxins  being  ■ 
somewhat  expensive,  many  times  the  poor  people  were  unable 
to  purchase  it,  and  thus  the  only  means  of  saving  a  life  was 
denied  them.  Therefore,  on  the  order  of  the  Board  and  with 
the  consent  of  the  governor,  the  emergency  fund  of  the  de- 
partment has  been  used  for  this  purpose,  and  it  is  confidently 
asserted  that  such  distribution  has  saved  the  lives  of  some 
230-odd  Kansas  people.  These  figures  are  based  upon  well- 
known  tables  of  mortality  which  obtain  throughout  the  world 
on  the  difference  in  the  death  rate  in  the  disease  where  anti- 
toxin is  used  and  where  it  is  not  used.  These  tables  are  so 
uniformly  accurate,  not  only  in  this  country  but  abroad,  as 
to  leave  no  basis  of  doubt  about  the  chance  of  recovery  with 
and  without  antitoxins.  Using  these  tables  as  a  basis  of  com- 
putation, we  arrive  at  the  above  result,  which  is  indeed  a 
matter  for  much  congratulation.  Moreover,  the  staying  of 
epidemics  by  this  means  undoubtedly  saves  hundreds  of  other 
cases  of  sickness,  with  the  usual  proportion  of  deaths,  which 
number,  of  course,  can  not  be  estimated.

that  are  now  the  only  means  of  combatinar  certain  maglignant 
diseases.  Tetanus  antitoxin  has  also  been  added  to  the  stodcs, 
and  typhoid,  scarlet  fever,  cerebrospinal  meningitis  and 
scarlatina  bacterins  have  likewise  been  added,  and  are  used 
in  the  suppression  of  epidemics  of  these  malignant  diseases. 

It  is  therefore  recommended  that  the  legislature  provide  the 

department  with  a  special  fund  of  $2000  per  annum  for  the 

purchase  and  distribution  of  antitoxins,  serums  and  bacteriss 

to  be  used  in  the  way  and  manner  above  indicated. 

CANCER. 

A  study  of  the  return  of  deaths  and  their  causes  reveals 
the  startling  fact  that  cancer  is  alarmingly  on  the  increase, 
not  only  in  this  state  but  throughout  the  entire  country.  Sev- 
eral months  ago  our  lecturer  on  tuberculosis  discovered,  in  a 
certain  community  in  central  Kansas,  in  an  area  of  something 
like  a  mile  and  a  half  square,  populated  by  twelve  families, 
that  among  those  twelve  families  there  were  eleven  cases  of 
cancer.  If  the  department  had  the  ways  and  means  at  its 
command,  there  is  offered  in  this  situation  a  rare  opportunity 
for  the  study  of  the  disease. 

The  Kansas  State  Board  of  Health  ought  to  be  so  equipped 
that  it  would  be  able  to  utilize  such  unusual  opportunities  as 
present  themselves  to  study  and,  if  possible,  to  add  to  the 
sum  total  of  knowledge  concerning  a  disease  that  carried  off, 
in  the  first  six  months  of  1912,  517  cancer  victims  in  Kansas. 
TUBERCULOSIS. 

Under  the  appropriation  the  last  legislature  made  for  carry- 
-  ing  on  an  educational  campaign  for  the  study  and  suppresaioa 
of  tuberculosis,  the  department  undertook  a  sociological  and 
industrial  study  of  the  disease  in  the  ten  cities  of  the  first 
class  in  this  state.  This  work  was  carried  on  by  Br.  J.  J.  Sippy, 
under  the  direct  supervision  and  direction  of  this  department, 
and  his  report,  which  will  be  found  on  another  page,  ia  worthy 
of  the  most  careful  study  and  thought  of  every  citizen  of  the 
state,  and  especially  every  member  of  the  legislature.  The 
conditions  found  in  a  number  of  the  cities  were  scarcely  short 
of  appalling,  and  indicated  very  clearly  the  reason  for  the  end- 
less chain  of  cases  that  are  annually  recurring  and  contrib- 
uting to  the  sum  total  of  deaths  in  the  United  States  from 
tuberculosis — the  enormous  number  of  150,000  annually.  The 
state  registrar's  report  on  the  number  of  deaths  from  tuber- 
culosis in  Kansas  for  twelve  months,  based  on  accurate  reports 
for  the  first  six  months  of  this  year,  indicates  that  there 
occur  in  Kansas  annually  1244  deaths  from  tuberculosis. 
Experts  who  make  an  estimate  of  the  number  of  hving  cases, 
based  upon  the  number  of  deaths  occurring  annually,  use  figures 
from  4  to  10,  but  using  the  smallest  figures  given  by  any  au- 
thority, namely,  the  figure  4,  we  have  four  times  1244,  which

is  4976,  the  number  of  cases  in  the  state  at  the  time  this  report 
is  submitted. 

Duringr  the  seven  weeks  our  investigator  was  in  Kansas  City, 
Kan.,  twenty-four  people  died  of  the  disease,  and  I  submit  that 
if  a  like  number  of  deaths  had  occurred  from  any  other  in- 
fectious disease  in  a  city  of  83,000  in  that  same  period  of  time 
we  all  would  have  been  alarmed  and  would  have  said  that  an 
epidemic  of  that  disease  was  prevalent.  It  is  but  fair  to  in- 
dicate that  the  conditions  in  Kansas  City  are  unusual,  due  to 
unusual  labor  and  social  conditions.  Many  of  the  laborers  and 
poorer  families  work  in  Missouri  and  have  their  residences 
in  the  meaner  sections  of  Kansas,  City,  Kan.,  and  thus  these 
conditions  are  accentuated ;  but  nevertheless  Uiey  are  real,  and 
a  menace  to  the  community  in  which  they  exist. 

A  similar  study  was  undertaken  of  the  crowded  condition 
of  Mexican  laborers  in  shacks  and  box  cars  on  railroad  rigrhts 
of  way,  and  an  equally  shocking;  condition  was  found  there. 
In  many  instances  large  numbers  of  people  were  found  living 
in  windowless  box  cars,  and  in  several  -cases  persons  in  the 
advanced  stage  of  consumption  were  living  in  those  crowded 
conditions  with  other  people,  without  any  precautions  what- 
ever being  taken  to  prevent  infection. 

The  attention  of  the  railroad  companies  was  called  to  these 
intolerable  conditions  and  their  promise  secured  to  see  that 
they  were  rectified,  but  the  main  point  I  wish  to  present  to 
the  legislature  is  that  infectious  diseases  are  very  closely  re- 
lated to  certain  social  and  industrial  conditions,  and  that  real 
prevention  and  suppression  can  not  be  successfully  instituted 
unless  the  department  has  the  ways  and  means  for  making 
these  studies  in  the  manner  above  indicated,  including  the  study 
of  the  causes  of  diseases  and  the  methods  of  dissemination 
which  are  not  known,  as  in  Uie  case  of  infantile  paralysis  and 
pellagra. 

AN  APPEAL. 

I  therefore  appeal  to  the  legislature  and  to  the  people  of 
Kansas  that  the  department  be  provided  with  a  sum,  not  less 
than  f  10,000  annually,  to  be  devoted  to  the  study  and  preven- 
tion of  communicable  diseases,  this  sum  to  be  in  lieu  of  the 
$10,000  hitherto  appropriated  for  the  study  of  tuberculosis 
only.  This  study  comprehends  the  usual  educational  propa- 
ganda that  always  goes  with  research  work. 

I  repeat  in  the  most  emphatic  manner  of  which  I  am  capable 
that  the  suppression  and  prevention  of  communicable  diseases 
can  not  be  successfully  accomplished  unless  these  means  are 
provided  for  the  department. 

EMERGENCY  FUND. 

The  legislature  has  been  in  the  habit  each  legislative  year 
of  providing  a  $5000  emergency  fund  for  the  biennium  to  the 
State  Board  of  Health.    As  indicated  above,  this  has  been  used

10  state  Board  of  Health. 

in  the  study  of  pellagra  and  infantile  paralysis  and  for  the 
distribution  of  free  antitoxins.  The  department  should  have 
an  emergency  fund  for  the  purpose  of  meeting  great  enm^ 
genciea,  such  as  in  case  of  cholera  or  plague,  in  a  sum  of  not 
less  than  $10,000  annually.  Since  it  is  now  dd^nitely  kno«Ti 
that  the  plague  is  disseminated  through  the  medium  of  the 
rat  and  the  flea,  and  as  infected  rats  and  squirrels  have  been 
found  at  various  points  along  the  Pacific  coast,  and  the  disease 
exists  at  the  time  of  this  writing  in  Porto  Rico  and  Cuba,  with 
infected  I'^^s  found  at  New  Orleans,  it  is  not  at  all  improbable 
that,  through  the  shipment  of  merchandise,  plague-infected 
rata  might  be  transported  to  almost  any  part  of  the  United 
States. 

In  the  case  of  cholera  it  has  likewise  been  demonstrated 
time  and  time  again  that  cholera  carriers  exist  the  same  as  ty- 
phoid carriers,  and  that  immigrants  from  infected  ports  carry- 
ing the  cholera  vibrio  may  come  to  this  country  and  go  to  its 
remotest  parts.  It  is  through  this  means  that  cholera  gained 
a  foothold  in  the  United  States  last  year. 

These  facts  are  mentioned  to  show  the  necessity  of  every 
state  being  prepared  to  meet  emergencies  of  this  kind,  and  I 
therefore  earnestly  request  that  tiie  legislature  provide  the 
department  with  an  emergency  fund  of  $5000  annually  for 
the  purpose  of  preventing  the  entrance  into  or  the  spread 
within  the  state  of  epidemic  diseases. 

QUARANTINE  LAW. 

The  present  quarantine  law  was  written  many  years  ago. 
The  advancement  in  medical  science  in  the  knowledge  of  the 
cause  and  dissemination  of  disease  is  such  as  to  make  oar 
present  quarantine  law  out  of  date,  and  it  is  recommended  that 
the  quarantine  law  be  rewritten  so  as  to  bring  it  up  to  our 
present  knowledge  of  the  control  of  communicable  diseases, 
and  thus  make  it  efficient  and  serviceable  in  guarding  the 
health  of  the  citizens  of  the  state. 

VITAL  STATISTICS. 

The  legislature  of  1911  enacted  our  present  vital-statistics 
law.  The  appropriation  made  for  its  enforcement  was,  how- 
ever, inadequate,  and  thus  the  large  amount  of  work  following 
the  enactment  of  a  law  such  as  this  has  been  carried  on  under 
considerable  difficulties.  The  statistical  data  of  births  and 
deaths  that  have  occurred  under  the  law  will  entitle  Kansas 
to  be  classed  in  the  registration  area  of  the  Bureau  of  the 
Census  at  Washington  before  long,  provided  proper  ways  and 
means  are  furnished  for  its  complete  enforcement. 

The  vital-statistics  law  is  "the  big  family  Bible"  of  the 
state.  Hitherto  we  have  been  content  to  register  only  our 
thoroughbred  stock,  the  babies  being  permitted  to  shift  for 
themselves,  as  it  were,  or  to  take  chances  in  proving  citizen-

Bhip,  if  that  question  should  arise  in  after  years,  or  to  make 
proof  of  claims  in  settling:  estates,  pensions,  etc.,  as  best  ihey 
could.  It  goes  without  saying  that  the  provisions  of  the  child- 
labor  law  can  never  be  fully  ehforced  unless  there  are  some 
legal  and  effective  means  for  registering  the  birth  of  the  child. 
Hitherto  the  statements  of  the  parents  were  the  only  methods 
for  determining  the  age  of  the  child,  and  too  often  it  has 
occurred  that  these  statements  were  prejudiced  or  untrue,  in 
that  parents  desired  their  children  to  work.  Moreover,  many 
legBl  questions  concerning  the  age  of  consent  have  arisen,  in 
which  the  liberty  of  the  individual  was  in  jeopardy  because  of 
designing  or  blackmailing  schemes.  Then,  again,  the  work  for 
the  control  of  communicable  diseases  can  not  be  effectively 
accomplished  unless  there  is  a  means  for  tabulating  the  deaths 
from  these  diseases,  by  which  we  may  locate  accurately  and 
certainly  the  foci  of  infection,  through  which  means  we  are 
able  to  apply  preventive  measures.  Last  but  not  least,  it  is 
the  desire  of  the  department  to  use  the  data  thus  gained  for 
the  purpose  of  social  betterment  throughout  the  communities 
of  the  state.  Vital  statistics  have  not  often  been  treated  in 
this  way,  but  it  seems  there  is  a  wide  field  of  opportunity  to 
study  the  causes  and  conditions,  social  and  industrial,  of  cer- 
tain morbidity  and  mortality  rates,  of  deaths  due  to  industrial 
accidents,  violence  and  crime;  also,  the  relations  leading  to 
the  large  number  of  illegitimate  births,  with  due  regard  for 
the  rights  of  the  innocent  babe  brought  into  the  world,  whose 
rights  are  ordinarily  disregarded,  having  no  champion  to  see 
that  their  legal  status  in  the  community  is  preserved  by  proper 
records.  It  is  manifestly  the  duty  of  the  state  to  see  that  such 
rights  are  guarded,  and  thus  we  hope  through  the  division  of 
vital  statistics  to  undertake  such  sociological  investigations 
as  will  lead  up  to  betterments  in  social  and  industrial  condi- 
tions. In  order  that  this  may  be  accomplished  it  is  necessary 
that  we  have  an  appropriation  of  not  less  than  $6000  for  such 
purposes.  All  fees  for  the  issuing  of  certified  birth  and  death 
certiflcates  are  turned  back  into  the  state  treasury  as  required 
by  law. 

DIVISION  OF  POODS  AND  DRUGS. 

The  detailed  report  of  the  division  of  foods  and  drugs,  under 
the  supervision  of  the  assistant  chief  food  and  drug  inspector, 
Mr.  Floyd  Tilford,  appears  on  another  page,  to  which  your 
attention  is  invited.  This  is  a  division  of  the  department's 
work  which  economically  brings  great  returns  to  the  consumers 
of  this  state  through  the  enforcement  of  the  food  and  drugs 
law  and  the  weights  and  measures  law,  both  of  which  laws 
are  under  the  direct  supervision  of  our  traveling  food  and 
drug  inspectors.  It  is  believed  that  a  very  conservative  esti- 
mate of  the  savings  to  the  consumers  of  "this  state  in  the  matter 
of  adulterated  foods  and  drugs  and  short  weights  and  measures

would  be  a  million  dollars  annually,  comparing  the  conditions 
that  existed  five  yeara  ago,  previous  to  the  passage  of  these 
laws,  with  the  conditions  as  they  exist  to-day.  This  is  such 
a  staggering  sum  as  to  be  almost  beyond  the  belief  of  one  who 
has  not  made  the  matter  a  subject  of  thorough  investigation, 
and  yet  there  are  documentary  evidences  in  the  department 
that  will  substantiate  the  above  claim.  We  have  on  other 
occasions  used  as  an  illustration  the  item  of  oysters  as  they 
were  formerly  shipped,  in  tubs,  being  refrigerated  by  ice 
placed  in  the  tubs  with  the  oysters.  This  ice  naturally  melted, 
and  the  melted  ice  was  sold  as  a  part  of  the  oysters  at  the 
current  rate  of  50  cents  per  quart.  An  estimate  has  been  based 
on  the  amount  of  oysters  consumed  in  this  state  annually,  with 
samples  analyzed  that  were  secured  before  the  passage  of  the 
law  compared  with  oysters  as  marketed  in  this  state  at  the 
present  time,  which  reveals  a  saving  to  the  consuming  public 
close  to  $100,000  annually. 

Take  a  single  illustration  of  short  weight  on  flour.  When 
we  began  the  inspection  of  weights  on  flour  several  years  ago 
it  was  an  exceedingly  rare  thing  to  find  a  sack  of  flour  that 
was  full  weight ;  the  sacked  flour  was  short  in  weight  all  the 
way  from  one-quarter  of  a  pound  to  three  pounds.  It  is  true 
that  there  is  a  certain  shrinkage  during  certain  seasons  of  the 
year  by  evaporation  of  moisture,  and  yet,  from  experiments 
conducted  by  Professor  Willard  on  the  loss  of  weight  of  stored 
flour,  a  quarter  of  a  pound  would  be  a  reasonable  amount  for 
an  average  sack  of  flour  stored  under  ordinary  conditions. 
Moreover,  freshly  packed  flour  was  found  to  be  abort  in  weight, 
in  which  there  could  be  no  claim  made  for  shortage  due  to 
loss  through  evaporation.  In  a  certain  shipment  of  a  car  of 
flour  from  a  mill  having  a  capacity  of  1500  barrels  daily,  we 
found  that  the  shortage  on  that  car  of  freshly  packed  flour 
was  an  amount,  computed  on  the  full  capacity  of  the  mill, 
that  would  make  a  net  profit  on  short  weight  of  $65  per  day. 
At  this  time  the  mill  was  running  to  its  full  capacity,  and  al-  ■ 
though  I  doubt  if  it  does  so  run  the  year  around,  yet  the  point 
is  that  it  was  only  one  mill  out  of  many ;  and  whereas  we  find 
that  most  of  the  flour  was  formerly  short  in  weight  in  the  sack, 
it  is  my  candid  opinion  that  half  a  million  dollars  annually 
would  not  cover  the  item  of  short-weight  flour,  comparing  con- 
ditions at  that  time  with  present  ones. 

Take  the  matter  of  marketing  new  potatoes :  For  years  it 
has  been  the  custom  in  the  Southern  states  to  harvest  new 
potatoes  during  the  wet  season,  or  periods  of  time,  for  the 
express  purpose  of  having  mud  stick  to  them  in  order  that  the 
weight  might  be  increased,  for  new  potatoes  are  always  sacked 
and  sold  by  weight.  Two  years  ago  one  car  of  potatws  was 
carefully  sorted  out  from  the  dirt,  in  which  car  we  found  some- 
thing over  3400  pounds  of  dirt.  Last  year  anotjieTJ*^,"??^

the  enormous  amount  of  potatoes  sold  in  this  state,  the  dirt 
content,  if  approaching  even  in  a  small  degree  that  of  the  two 
<:ara  mentioned  and  two  or  three  others  which  our  inspectors 
found,  would  run  into  a  sum  almost  Beyond  belief. 

Before  the  passage  of  the  law  it  was  the  rarest  thing  in 
the  world  to  find  a  pure  ground  spice  or  genuine  ground  coffee. 
Absolutely  pure  maple  syiup  was  unknown.  Thus  might  be 
mentioned  a  multitude  of  articles  of  a  similar  nature  which 
now  are  of  liigh-grade  quality,  and  while  in  some  instances 
these  purer  articles  of  food  and  drugs  are  higher  in  price  than 
the  former  adulterated  products,  yet  in  many  instances,  as 
in  the  case  of  oystera,  they  are  not  any  higher  in  price,  indi- 
cating that  the  adulterated  content  in  them  was  pure  graft. 

The  experience  of  our  laboratories  in  the  analyses  of  drugs 
reveals  the  fact  that  formerly  drug  adulteration  was  quite  as 
prevalent  as  the  adulteration  of  foods.  This  means  not  only 
a  great  economic  loss -to  the  consumer,  but,  what  is  vastly 
more  important,  a  great  danger,  in  that  reliance  for  therapeutic 
effect  is  put  in  drugs  that  are  not  of  standard  strength  and 
quality.  I  am  glad  to  say  that  these  conditions  are  now  happily 
fast  becoming  past  history. 

Important  as  this  economic  feature  for  the  enforcement  of 
the  food  and  drugs  law  is,  yet  perhaps  what  is  of  even  greater 
impoii:ance  is  the  changed  sanitary  condition  brought  about 
in  places  where  foods  and  drugs  are  prepared,  stored  and  sold. 
Particularly  is  this  true  in  the  case  of  slaughterhouses,  meat 
markets,  bakeries,  restaurants  and  hotels,  and  in  many  of  the 
poorly  equipped  grocery  stores.  Unquestionably  much  of  the 
loss  and  waste  in  spoiled  food  products,  as  well  as  considerable 
sickness  to  the  consumers  thereof,  was  the  direct  result  of  filth 
contamination.  It  may  be  remarked  in  passing  that  most  of 
the  prosecutions  brought  by  the  department  during  the  past 
biennium  have  been  because  of  unwholesome  and  unsanitary 
conditions  found  in  these  places. 

Weights  and  Measures. 

With  our  small  force  of  traveling  inspectors  and  the  large 
amount  of  work  to  be  done,  the  department  has  been  unable 
to  inspect  all  scales  for  weights  and  measures,  our  work  being 
confined  almost  entirely  to  the  inspection  of  scales  for  weights 
and  measures  found  in  drug  and  grocery  stores.  We  have  on 
several  occasions  made  special  inspections  of  large  wagon 
scales  at  different  points  in  the  state  for  the  purpose  of  ascer? 
taining  the  condition  of  such  scales,  and  have  arrived  at  the 
conclusion  that  from  25  to  35  per  cent  of  all  large  wagon 
scales  are  not  within  the  limit  of  tolerance — ten  pounds  to  the 
ton.  That  is  to  say,  they  do  not  come  within  the  ten-pound 
limit  of  weighing  an  actual  ton,  in  some  instances  short-weigh- 
ing and  in  other  instances  overweighing.  When  it  is  remem-

over  the  wagon  acalea  in  this  state  daily,  probably  running: 
into  the  millions  of  dollars  each  day  in  weighing  farmers' 
produce,  such  as  wheat,  com,  oats  and  other  grains,  hay,  cattle, 
hogs,  and  such  merchandise  as  coal,  ice,  building  material  of 
all  kinds,  and  other  heavy  commodities,  it  is  apparent  at  once 
that  if  25  per  cent  of  these  scales  are  without  the  limit  of 
tolerance  that  business  is  not  upon  a  sound  basis,  either  from 
the  standpoint  of  competition  between  merchants  and  dealers 
or  from  the  standpoint  of  values  received  for  money  paid.  It 
is  therefore  recommended  that  the  legislature  provide  two 
special  weights  and  measures  inspectors,  who  will  also  be 
given  the  authority  of  sealing  weights  and  measures,  for  which 
under  the  law  they  are  entitled  to  certain  fees,  and  it  is  be- 
lieved that  these  fees  will  approximately  cover  the  expense  of 
such  inspection.  It  is  not  infrequent  that  we  receive  urgent 
letters  from  farmers  all  over  the  state  requesting  the  inspec- 
tion of  scales  here  and  there,  as  they  believe  them  to  be  in- 
accurate, which  requests  we  are  at  present  unable  to  grant. 

One  of  the  great  economic  questions  in  food  supplies  is  that 
of  cold  storage  of  food  products.  The- Association  of  State  and 
National  Food  and  Drug  Control  Officials  have  recommended 
a  model  cold-storage  law  for  uniform  adoption  throughout  all 
the  states,  which  will  be  presented  to  the  legislature  with  the 
recommendation  that  it  be  passed. 

DIVISION  OP  WATEE  AND  SEWAGE. 

The  report  of  the  engineer  of  the  State  Board  of  Health 
will  be  found  on  another  page,  to  which  your  attention  is  in- 
vited. Since  the  enactment  of  the  so-called  water  and  sewage 
law,  in  1907,  a  vast  amount  of  good  has  been  done  in  the 
division  of  the  Board's  work  looking  toward  the  purification 
of  city  water  supplies  and  in  the  securing  of  new  supplies  to 
cities  that  would  not  only  be  sufficient  in  quantity  but  whole- 
some in  quality;  also  undertaking  to  prevent  the  pollution  of 
the  natural  watercourses  of  the  state  by  domestic  sewage  and 
industrial  wastes,  and  to  restore  those  that  were  overburdened 
with  such  sewage  and  waste  to  something  like  their  former 
state  of  purity.  This  work  has  entailed  a  large  amount  of 
investigation  and  research,  with  results  that  are  more  than 
commensurate  with  the  time  and  money  expended.  Most  of 
our  populous  cities  in  the  southeastern  part  of  the  state  are 
wholly  dependent  for  their  source  of  water  supply  from  the 
near-by  streams ;  thus  the  question  of  the  purity  of  such  waters 
is  of  health  and  life  importance.  Gradually  the  cities  located 
on  streams  that  are  used  as  a  source  of  public  water  supply 
have  put  in  sewage-purification  plants,  and  cities  using  such 
streams  as  a  source  of  supply  have  added  to  their  water  plant 
modern  filtration  apparatus,  so  that  the  number  of  cities  in 
the  state  that  are  not  using  a  pure  and  wholesome  water  is 
growing  increasingly  smaller  each  year.

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  1& 

At  the  request  of  this  department,  the  federal  government 
has  completed  the  survey  of  the  Missouri  river,  an  interstate 
stream,  the  report  of  which  is  submitted  in  another  place  in 
this  report.  It  is  confidently  hoped  that  those  cities  in  other 
states  now  discharging  their  untreated  sewage  into  the  Mis- 
souri river  may  join  with  Kansas  in  constructing  such  sewage- 
purification  plants  as  will  insure  the  comparative  purity  of  the 
Missouri  river,  which  is  being  used  as  a  source  of  water  supply 
by  more  than  a  million  and  a  half  of  people. 

The  improved  condition  of  the  water  supplies  in  the  state 
has  been  revealed  in  a  lower  morbidity  and  mortality  rate 
from  typhoid  fever,  and  it  is  believed  that  the  theorem  pro- 
pounded by  a  prominent  sanitarium,  that  three  times  as  many 
other  diseases  are  prevented  by  the  use  of  a  pure  water  supply, 
will  apply  with  equal  certainty  to  the  improved  conditions  of 
Kansas  water  supplies  as  above  intimated. 

Our  chief  handicap  in  the  work  has  been  lack  of  funds,  the 
work  having  grown  to  auch  an  esctent  that  it  has  become  nec- 
essary to  have  an  assistant  engineer,  and  our  sanitary  fund  of 
$2500  annually  is  therefore  inadequate  to  carry  on  the  work 
of  this  division.  Moreover,  it  is  greatly  desired  that  additional 
funds  be  procured  for  the  purpose  of  carrying  on  research 
work  in  the  matter  of  treating  industrial  wastes,  which  has 
been  undertaken  in  a  small  way  this  past  year,  and  it  is 
therefore  recommended  that  our  sanitary  fund  be  increased 
to  fSOOO  annually. 

HOTEL  INSPECTION. 

The  work  of  infection  of  hotels  under  the  hotel  law  has 
been  carried  out  to  the  best  of  our  ability,  chiefly  through  the 
county  health  officers  and  local  fire  marshals.  The  work  has 
been  well  done  in  some  counties,  fairly  well  done  in  others, 
and  indifferently  done  in  still  others,  depending  largely  on 
the  personnel  and  interest  of  the  local  health  officers.  Our 
experience  in  the  enforcement  of  this  law  during  the  past  four 
years  has  been  such  as  to  lead  me  to  believe  that  it  can  not 
be  uniformly  and  effectively  enforced  all  over  the  state  unless 
the  inspection  is  under  state  inspectors,  by  which  means  local 
interference  will  be  removed  and  compliance  with  the  law 
obtained.  It  is  respectfully  recommended  that  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  hotel  law  be  given  to  the  state  labor  commissioner, 
who  has  the  inspection  of  all  other  public  buildings  excepting 
hotels,  or  that  an  independent  commission  be  established  which 
will  be  charged  with  the  enforcement  of  the  hotel-inspection 
law. 

HEALTH  OFFICERS. 

The  time  has  already  come  when  the  county  health  officer 
and  the  health  officers  of  the  cities  of  the  first  class  are  really 
the  most  important  officials  in  their  communities,  when  con- 
sidered frxHn  the  standpoint  of  the  public-health  service  that 


ly  Google 


16  State  Board  of  Health. 

is  now  required  of  them  under  the  present  laws ;  and  yet  al- 
most uniformly  we  find  these  same  officials  are  the  most  poorly 
paid  of  any  of  the  county  or  city  officials. 

Two  years  ago  the  State  Board  of  Health,  in  cooperation 
with  the  School  of  Medicine  of  the  University,  established  a 
summer  school  for  physicians  and  health  officers,  the  second 
annual  school  being  held  in  June,  1912.  The  object  of  this 
school  is  to  instruct  health  officers  in  the  latest  and  most 
modem  phases  of  sanitary  work,  including  the  nature  and 
suppression  of  communicable  diseases,  the  equipment  and  con- 
duct of  modem  laboratories,  the  fundamentals  of  public  hy- 
giene and  sanitation,  including  all  of  those  essentials  of  hygiene 
related  to  the  health  officer's  duties.  In  other  words,  the  health 
officers  of  the  state  have  thus  been  preparing  themselves  for 
competent  service  to  the  people,  and  this  service  should  be 
promoted  and  recognized  by  such  legislation  as  will  attract 
the  most  capable,  scientific  physicians  to  the  positions  of  health 
officers  and  will  insure  their  respective  communities  a  fall 
measure  of  protection  from  conditions  that  menace  the  public 
health.  I  therefore  recommend  that  health  officers  be  put 
upon  such  a  basis  of  salary,  in  accordance  with  population,  as 
will  be  commensurate  with  their  services,  and  also  that  attend- 
ance at  the  summer  school  by  health  officers  be  made  com- 
pulsory, except  in  case  of  sickness. 

SANITABY  CONDITION  OF  STATE  INSTITUTIONS. 

All  the  state  institutions  have  been  visited  by  committees 
from  the  State  Board  of  Health,  and  in  a  general  way  the 
sanitary  conditions  of  these  institutions  have  been  found  his4ily 
satisfactory.  Special  reports  of  these  inspections  can  be  found 
in  the  offices  of  the  State  Board  of  Health.

ARGUMENT. 

An  increase  in  the  sanitary  fund  is  asked  for  the  reason 
that  the  work  in  the  division  of  water  and  sewage  has  grown 
until  two  engineers  are  required  to  properly  take  care  of  it. 
Moreover,  in  solving  the  problems  of  industrial  wastes  that 
are  polluting  many  of  our  streams  that  are  being  used  as  a 
source  of  water  supply,  considerable  research  work  must  be 
done  before  it  is  possible  to  find  a  solution  for  the  purification 
of  such  wastes.  This  work  can  not  be  done  without  an  in- 
crease in  appropriation  for  the  sanitary  fund. 

Instead  of  using  our  emergency  fund  for  the  purchase  and 
distribution  of  free  antitoxins  and  for  research  work  in  the 
cause  and  dissemination  of  certain  infectious  diseases,  such 
as  infantile  paralysis  and  pellagra,  we  are  asking  a  special 
appropriation  to  be  made  for  that  purpose,  in  order  that  the 
emergency  fund  my  be  utilized  only  in  case  of  great  emer- 
gency— these  funds  in  lieu  of  appropriations  made  hitherto  for 
tuberculosis,  for  which  we  are  not  asking  this  biennium. 

The  appropriation  of  $2500  a  year  for  the  division  of  vital 
statistics  is  insufficient  to  carrj-  on  that  division's  work,  as 
indicated  in  another  place  in  this  report.  The  sum  asked  is 
the  lowest  possible  sum  for  which  this  work  can  be  efficiently 
performed. 

We  are  asking  an  increase  of  the  inspectors'  traveling  fund 
over  what  it  was  two  years  ago,  as  $85  a  month  for  traveling

18  State  Board  of  Health. 

expenses  is  entirely  too  small,  and  $100  a  month,  the  amount 
asked,  is  barely  enough  to  keep  the  men  on  the  road  all  the 
time. 

The  appropriation  for  samples  is  included  in  a  separate  item. 

The  amount  for  the  Board's  expenses  is  too  small  to  have  the 
full  number  of  meetings  annually  as  required  by  law ;  therefore 
an  increase  is  asked. 

It  will  be  noted  that  with  the  elimination  of  the  $10,000 
hitherto  voted  for  a  state-wide  educational  campaign  against 
tuberculosis,  which  is  not  included  in  this  budget,  that  the 
above  amounts  will  not  exceed  in  their  total  sum  what  has 
hitherto  been  appropriated  by  the  legislature,  and  yet  by  this 
arrangement  it  will  permit  the  department  to  carry  on  its 
work  more  efficiently. 

Kansas  opens  wide  her  doors  to  all  peoples.  It  is  in  the 
health  of  a  state  and  the  citizens  thereof  that  it  grows ;  it  is 
not  in  disease  that  it  erects — it  is  in  pestilence  that  effort 
ceases  and  hope  dies.  In  the  not  very  long  ago  yqu  created 
a  department  of  health.  You  hade  it  guard  the  health  in- 
terests of  the  citizens  of  the  state;  you  gave  it  a  trust  that 
may  not  be  broken ;  you  charged  it  with  a  vigil  that  is  sacred. 
Thus  you  assumed  a  duty;  in  fact,  you  tendered  fealty  to  this 
one  of  your  greatest  departmental — for  did  you  not  bid  it 
watch  over  the  lives  and  health  of  men,  women  and  little 
children?  Is  there  any  right  more  important  than  the  right 
to  live?  Do  you  perfer  a  higher  death  rate  than  a  trifling  in- 
crease in  the  tax  rate. 

The  wages  of  filth  is  dieease,  which  neither  creed,  nor  faith, 
nor  party  may  forget!  Respectfully  submitted.

Hb.  Pxbsident  and  Gentlemen  of  tbb  Board — The  regular  second 
quarterly  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  was  omitted  for  tiia 
reason  that  there  were  not  enough  funds  to  hold  the  four  r^ular  quar- 
terly meetings  of  the  Board  as  provided  by  law,  and  it  seemed  expedient 
that  the  December  meeting  be  ommitted. 

EPIDEMIC  ANTERIOR  POLIO  UYELITIS. 

The  epidemic  of  anterior  poliomyelitis,  prevalent  in  the  state  during 
the  past  sommer  and  autumn,  continued  until  cold  weather  came,  since 
which  time  there  have  been  no  cases,  excepting  one  case  reported  from 
LyoD  county  aa  February  15.  The  number  of  cases  and  deaths  occurring 
daring  last  year's  epidemic,  by  counties,  is  as  follows:

of  Plexner  and  Lewis  of  the  Rockefeller  Institute  of  New  York, 

The  appearance  of  a  case  in  Lyon  county  this  early  in  the  year  does 
not  auger  well  for  the  coining  season.  The  Buggestions  ol  the  State 
Board  of  Health  made  in  the  special  meeting  in  July  have  been  effectively 
carried  out,  and  we  have  reason  to  believe  that  the  epidemic  has  been 
held  in  check  by  these  strict  quarantine  measures.

WATER  AND   BEWAQB. 

The  existence  of  an  unusual  amount  of  ^rphoid  fever  id  the  cities  of 
Leavenworth  and  the  two  Kansas  Citys  during  the  past  season,  witii  an 
extensive  epidemic  at  Omaha,  Neb,,  St.  Joseph  and  Farksville,  Mo., 
and  the  fact  that  all  these  cities  secure  their  water  suppljr  from  the 
Missouri  river,  naturally  suggests  that  the  cause  of  these  epidemics  is 
due  to  a  polluted  condition  of  the  waters  of  the  Missouri  river,  and  also 
brings  up  for  solution  the  old  problem  of  the  sanitary  control  of  interstate 
streams.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  this  is  one  of  the  problems  which 
neither  the  federal  government  nor  any  single  state  has  authority  or 
power  to  Eolve  and  correct,  due  to  our  peculiar  form  of  dual  government. 

The  problem  of  the  sanitary  control  of  interstate  streams  has  been 
brought  to  the  attention  of  the  federal  government  time  and  time  aguii, 
and  they  have  definitely  decided  that  they  have  no  such  control  of  Uiese 
streams.  So  it  would  seem  that  the  itnly  way  in  which  a  matter  of  such 
tremendous  importance  to  the  more  than  a  million  and  a  h&lf  of  people 
who  live  upon  the  banks  of  this  great  interstate  waterway,  and  who  aie 
dependent  for  their  source  of  water  supply  on  the  same,  is  by  a  conceited 
and  united  action  of  the  various  sovereign  states  which  touch  its 
borders,  I  was  therefore  constrained  to  submit  the  matter  to  Governor 
Stubbs,  requesting  that  he  address  the  governors  of  the  states  of  Mis- 
souri, Iowa,  Nebraska  and  South  Dakota,  setting  forth  the  facts  before 
stated,  and  requesting  that  they  appoint  representatives  of  the  health 
departments  of  those  states  to  meet  with  representatives  from  Kansas, 
to  the  end  that  some  common  ground  of  action  might  bfe  agreed  upon 
whereby  the  purity  of  the  waters  of  the  Missouri  river  mi^ht  be  pre- 

Accordingly,  a  conference  was  called  of  representatives  from  the 
aforesaid  states,  to  be  held  at  Kansas  City,  at  ttie  Baltimore  Hotel,  on 
December  29,  1910.  The  representatives  from  Kansas  included  Doctor 
Allaman,  mayor  of  Atchison;  Dr.  C.  C.  Goddard  and  Dr.  J.  L.  Everherdy, 
of  Leavenworth;  Dr.  Clay  E.  C<d>Um  and  Dr.  Farquhard  Campbell,  of 
Kansas  City,  Kan.;  and  your  secretary,  representing  1;he  state  at  large. 
But  owing  to  illness  I  was  unable. tg  attend,  and  therefore  asked  the 
engineer  for  the  Board,  Prof.  Wm.  C.  Hoad,  to  represent  this  depart- 
mrait,  which  he  did  with  great  ability. 

After  a  discussion  among  the  conferees  present,  and  an  organization, 
of  which  Dr.  Allaman,  of  Atchison,  was  elected  chairman,  and  Professor 
Hoad  secretary,  resolutions  were  passed  and  adopted,  and  the  secretary 
instructed  to  prepare  a  memorandum  of  the  meeting,  including  ct^ies 
of  the  resolutions,  which  were  to  be  sabmitted  to  tiie  governors  and 
the  boards  of  health  of  the  five  states  that  were  invited  to  the  conference. 
Professor  Hoad  has  accordingly  submitted  the  following  memorandom 
to  this  department,  which  is  herewith  attached  and  forms  a  part  of  this 


After  an  initial  statement  in  regard  to  the  object  of  the  meeting,  the 
conference  entered  into  a  general  informal  discussion,  in  the  course  of 
which  the  following  propositions  were  prominently  set  forth,  namely: 

First.  That  the  Missouri  river  is  an  important  water-supply  stream, 
being  used  for  this  purpose  by  cities,  aggregating  a  population  of  about 
800,000,  from  Sioux  City  to  Kansas  City.  St.  Louis,  400  miles  farther 
down,  supplies  its  700,000  people  with  water  which  is  lately  from  the 
Missouri  river.  The  water  from  the  Missouri  is  essentially  good  water 
for  municipal  purposes  and  is  readily  purified. 

SeeoJid.  The  river  is  receiving  a  considerable  burden  of  city  sewage 
and  manufactural  wastes,  and  owing  to  the  rapid  growth  of  population 
and  industries  upon  its  drainage  area,  this  burden  of  wastes  is  increasing

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  21 

with  each  Tear.  The  sewered  population  upon  the  drainage  area  ia  es- 
timated at  trota  1,600,000  to  2,000,000,  of  which  over  one-half  di«chargeB 
sewage  directly  into  the  main  stream.  No  eBtimate  of  the  amount  of 
industrial  wastes  was  given,  but  attention  was  called  to  the  large  pack- 
ing industries  at  Omaha,  St.  Joseph  and  Kansas  City.  These  waates, 
while  not  in  themselves  disease-producing,  help  to  form  in  the  river  a 
favorable  environment  for  the  multiplication  of  disease  germs  introduced 
from  city  sewers. 

Third.  The  typhoid  fever  situation  in  several  of  the  Missouri  river 
cities  was  discussed  in  some  detail  by  the  conferees  from  these  cities — 
notably,  one  very  serious  epidemic  in  Omaha,  caused  by  the  failure  of 
the  local  water  company  to  effectively  purify  the  Missouri  river  water 
before  pumping  it  into  the  city  mains,  was  described  by  Doctor  Connell 
of  that  city. 

Fourth.  A  map  of  the  drain^e  area  of  the  river  was  presented,  show' 
ii«  the  principal  centers  of  population,  and  showing  particularly  that  the 
density  of  population  from  Sioux  City  to  Kansas  City  is  very  great  and 
is  rapidly  iocreasing.  Also,  the  average  and  the  low-water  discharges  of 
the  river  were  given,  together  with  other  physical  data  relating  to  the 
regimen  of  the  stream.  A  table  was  presented  showing  the  distance  by 
river  between  the  principal  cities  along  its  bank  from  Sioux  City  to  St. 
Louis,  and  the  estimatad  number  of  hours  occupied  by  water  in  the 
center  of  the  stream  in  flowing  from  Sioux  City  to  Omaha,  from  Omaha 
to  8t,  Joseph,  from  St  Joseph  to  Atchison,  from  Atchison  to  Leaven- 
worth, from  Leavenworth  to  Kansas  City,  and  from  Kansas  City  to  St. 
Louis,  at  time  of  average  and  of  minimum  discharge.  A  few  fragmen- 
tary data  on  the  bacterial  content  of  the  river  at  certain  points  were  also 

Fifth.  It  was  the  unanimous  opinion  of  the  conferees  that  any  defi- 
nite legislative  action  looking  toward  the  limitation  of  the  discharge  of 
sewa^  and  industrial  wastes  into  the  Hver  should  be  made  common  to 
all  the  states  contiguous  to  the  stream.  Much  was  made  of  the  possible 
unfairness  should  one  or  more  states  fail  to  unite  in  such  preventive  or 
remedial  action. 

Sixth.  There  was  considerable  talk  of  trying  to  secure  an  investiga- 
tion of  the  stream  by  the  federal  government.  This  idea  was  finally 
abandoned,  both  because  little  hope  was  entertained  that  a  request  for 
such  an  investigation  would  be  acceded  to,  and  especially  because  it  was 
felt  that  to  be  effective  with  the  legislatures  of  the  several  states  the 
investigation  should  proceed  from  the  states  themselves.  It  was  thought, 
however,  that  it  might  be  possible  for  a  joint  state  commission  to  secure 
the  coSperation  of  the  hydrographic  branch  of  the  United  States  Geo- 
logical Survey  or  of  the  Marine  Hospital  Service. 

The  definite  action  taken  by  the  conference  consisted  of  the  adoption 
of  a  resolution,  and  the  appointment  of  a  committee  to  endeavor  to 
carry  the  apirit  of  the  resolution  into  effect.  The  resolution  declared  that 
the  sanitary  condition  of  the  Missouri  river  from  Sioux  City  to  the  mouth 
was  such  that  it  was  the  Judgment  of  the  conference  that  a  thorough  in- 
vestigation of  the  river  should  be  made  by  a  joint  Missouri  river  sani- 
tary commission,  which  should  include  representatives  from  at  least 
Nebraska,  Iowa,  Missouri  and  Kansas.  The  committee  appointed  con- 
sisted of  a  representative  from  Nebraska  and  one  from  Kansas,  who 
were  instructed  to  drau^t  a  plan  for  the  organisation  of  such  a  sani- 
tary cfMnmiesion,  and  to  present  this  plan  to  the  governors  and  health 
departments  of  the  several  states  and  ask  for  such  legislative  and  exe- 
cutive action  as  might  be  necessary  to  perfect  the  organisation.  The 
general  idea  discnssed  and  assented  to  in  the  conference  was  that  this 
eonunisrion  should  consist  of  two  or  three  commissioners  from  each  state.

and  that  these  should  carry  the  inveBtigation  through  to  completion  and 
report  back  to  the  several  states  in  the  fall  of  1912. 

The  conference  adjourned,  subject  to  the  call  of  the  chairman. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  joint  resolation  that  will  probably  be 
recommended  to  the  goTemore  and  heads  of  the  health  departments  of 
the  several  states  r 

"Joint  Re8olutU)n,  providing  for  a  commission  to  investigate  the  sanitary 
condition  of  the  Missouri  river  and  to  recommend  measures  to  con- 
serve the  waters  of  the  streams  as  a  source  of  poblic  water  supply, 
and  requesting  the  legislatures  of  the  states  of  South  Dakota,  Iowa, 
Nebraska  and  Missouri  to  cooperate  by  appointing  similar  com- 
missiMiG. 

"Whereas,  The  Missouri  river  is  at  present  used  as  a  source  of 
public  water  supply  by  a  number  of  cities,  both  large  and  anall,  gjtwteri 
upon  its  banks;  and 

"Whereas,  To  all  these  eities  the  said  river  is  the  most  available  and 
practicable  source  of  public  water  supply,  and  will  continue  to  be  so 
in  increasing  degree  with  the  future  growth  in  their  population;  and 

"Whereas,  The  said  river  is  known  to  be  polluted  by  the  discharge 
into  it  of  unpuriBed  city  sewage  and  industrial  wastes  from  the  cities 
and  manufacturing  establishments  upon  its  drainage  area;  and 

"Whereas,  The  said  pollution  has  already  in  certain  portions  of  the 
river  reached  a  point  at  which  it  constitutes  a  serious  mraianee  to  the 
health  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  cities  and  towns  alimg  the  said  river,  and 
"Whereas,  The  said  pollution  must  inevitably  greatly  increase  with 
the  growth  in  population  and  the  development  in  industrial  activity 
assured  for  the  future,  unless  proper  measures  to  prevent  it  are  promptly 
taken;  and 

"Whereas,  The  protection  of  the  Missouri  river  against  injurious 
pollution  and  the  conservation  of  its  waters  for  purposes  of  public  water 
supply  are  possible  only  by  the  joint  action  of  the  legislatures  of  ttie 
aeveral  states  affected  thereby :  therefore,  be  it 

"Reaolved  by  the  Legislature  of  the  StaU  of  Kantat,  That  the  |OT- 
«mor  of  the  state  of  Kansas  appoint  a  cMumission  of  three  persons  to 
cooperate  with  similar  cnnmisBions  appointed  from  other  states  In  an 
investigation  of  the  sanitary  condition  of  the  Missouri  river  with  refer- 
«ice  to  the  future  use  of  the  said  river  as  a  source  of  public  water 
supply;  that  the  commissioners  so  appointed  shall  serve  without  compen- 
sation, except  that  their  actual  and  necessary  expenses  shall  he  paid; 
and  that  the  said  cwnmissioners  shall  report  their  findings  to  the 
governor  with  recommendations  for  such  legislative  action  as  they  may 
deem  wise  and  necessary. 

"That  the  governor  of  the  state  of  Kansas  transmit  a  copy  of  this 
resolution  to  the  governors  of  the  states  of  South  Dakota,  Iowa, 
Nebraska  and  Missouri,  with  the  request  that  the  legislatures  of  these 
states  cooperate  by  appointing  similar  commissions." 

At  a  subsequent  conference  with  the  governor,  in  company  with 
Professor  Hoad,  the  governor  appointed  the  following  commission  to 
represent  Kansas,  in  conformity  with  the  resolutions  adopted,  namely: 
Prof.  Wm.  C.  Hoad,  engineer  State  Board  of  Health;  Prof.  F.  H.  Bill- 
ings of  the  department  of  bacteriology  of  the  University  of  Kansas,  and 
Dr.  S.  J.  Crumhine,  secretary  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  chainnan. 
It  is  sincerely  to  be  hoped  that  the  other  four  states  will  act  in  like 
manner  and  appoint  commissioners  to  unite  with  Kansas,  by  which  daring 
the  coming  two  year  a  most  exhaustive  study  and  sanitary  survey  of  the 
Missouri  river  may  be  accomplished  for  presentation  to  tJie  legislatures 
two  years  from  now,  .tit 

Tne  routine  matters  of  the  division  of  water  and  sewage  that  nas 
occurred  since  the  last  meeting  of  the  Board  will  be  reported  in  detail

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  23 

HOTEL  INSPECTION. 

The  1911  inspection  of  hotels  has  not  yet  been  called  for,  pending  the 
result  of  the  le^slation  in  which  it  ie  proposed'to  turn  this  work  over 
to  the  state  labor  commissioner. 

There  has  occurred  no  reason  to  modify  my  observation  made  at  the 
last  meeting,  in  which  it  was  set  forth  that  the  present  system  of  hotel 
inspection  by  county  health  officers  is  more  or  less  of  a  failure,  being 
good  in  some  counties,  fair  in  others  and  indifferent  or  bad  in  still 
others.  I  have,  however,  the  following  recommendation  to  make,  which 
recommendation  was  submitted  to  the  grand  grievance  committee  of  the 
U.  C.  T.  of  Kansas  and  Oklahoma,  who  agreed  to  the  proposition  and 
expressed  their  belief  that  the  order  should  be  made — and  that  is  that 
the  public  drinking  cup  should  be  abolished  from  all  the  hotels  in  Kansas. 

Several  months  ago  I  was  in  a  certain  city  in  the  northwestern  part  of 
the  state,  and  a  physician  of  that  city,  of  hi^h  repute  and  of  state-wide 
reputation,  told  me  that  he  was  then  treatmg  a  case  of  syphilis,  the 
inoculation  of  which  took  place  through  the  so-called  conmon  drinking 
glass  in  a  hotel  in  a  neighboring  city.  He  declared  that  there  was 
scarcely  a  possibili^  of  doubt  that  such  was  the  case,  and  even  thought 
he  knew  the  probable  source  of  infection,  as  he  was  at  the  time  treating 
a  traveling  man  for  the  disease,  who  thm  had  a  large  number  of  maraas 
patches  in  his  mouth.  This  physician  was  very  emphatic  in  his  request 
that  the  Board  immediately  take  one  more  step  in  the  right  direction  and 
abolish  the  common  drinlung  cup  in  the  hotels  of  Kansas,  over  which 
this  department  has  sanitary  jurisdiction  under  the  law. 

It  might  be  well  enough  to  take  another  step  right  here — althou^  I 
am  hardly  prepared  to  make  that  reconunendation  at  this  time,  as  we 
have  made  no  scientific  investigation,  as  we  have  done  in  the  cup — and 
that  is  the  abolishment  of  the  roller  towel  in  the  hotels  of  the  state.  I 
would,  however,  ask  that  the  Board  give  the  matter  its  serious  con- 
sideration. 

FOODS  AND  DRUGS. 

It  was  my  privilege  to  attend  the  eleventh  annual  meeting  of  the  state 
and  national  ^d  and  dairy  conunissi oners  at  New  Orleans,  from  Novon- 
ber  28  to  December  2.  The  meeting  was  a  most  instructive  as  well  as  a 
very  agreeable  one,  as  the  entertainment  was  most  lavish  and  the  climatic 
conditions  were  exceedingly  pleasant  and  favorable  for  midwinter  to  a 
northerner. 

The  real  work  of  the  convention,  in  a  goiera!  way,  is  sammariied  in 
Ihe  following  resolutions  which  were  unanimously  adopted: 
Re»olution»  Adopted  by  ths  Aatodation  of  State  and  National  Food  and 
Dairy  D«partmentt. 

"At  a  meeting  of  the  Association  of  State  and  National  Food  and 
Dairy  Departments,  held  in  New  Orleans  from  November  28  to  December 
2,  the  following  resolutions  were  unanimously  adopted: 

"Resolved,  That  we  are  gratified  at  the  progress  already  made  to  se- 
cure uniformitv  in  food  and  drug  legislation,  and  urge  that  this  asso- 
ciation use  its  beat  efforts  to  bring  about  complete  uniformity  in  all  food 
and  drug  laws. 

"Whsbeab,  It  is  the  belief  of  this  association  that  the  enforcemoit  of 
the  national  food  and  drugs  act  of  June  30,  1906,  and  the  enforcement  of 
the  pure  food  laws  of  the  various  states,  which  laws  are  oattemed  there- 
after, are  seriously  hampered  by  the  absence  of  legal  stanaards  for  foods; 
therefore,  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  this  association  urges  upon  CongresR  the  enactment  of 
a  law  providing  for  the  appointment  by  the  President  of  the  United  States 
of  a  food  standards  conunission,  to  be  composed  of  food-law  officials  and 
chtfnists,  state  and  national,  connected  with  the  enforcement  of  food  laws, 
and  representative  manufacturers,  producers  and  dealers  in  foods,  which

commiBsion  snail  flx  food  standards  to  be  used  in  the  aiforcaunt  of  the 
food  and  dniga  act. 

"Resolved,  That  it  i?  the  judgm^it  of  this  association  that  each  state 
should  enact  suitable  legislation  to  secure  sanitary  inspection  of  all 
places  where  food  or  drugs  are  prepared  or  sold  or  manufactured. 

"Reaolved,  That  this  association  favors  the  enactmoit  b;  Congress  and 
the  various  states  of  a  weight  and  measure  branding  law,  and  that  any 
such  law  be  so  framed  as  to  make  fair  and  reasonable  allowance  for 
the  inevitable  variations  of  weight  and  measure  due  to  shrinkage,  evapora- 
tion  or  other  natural  causes,  and  the  unavoidable  slight  variations  at- 
tendant upon  the  weighing  or  measuring  of  individual  packages;  and 
that  the  interests  of  consumers,  manufacturers  and  dealers  alike  demand 
that  weight  and  measure  laws,  like  all  food  laws,  should  be  uniform, 

"Reaolvad,  That  experience  has  shown  that  efficiency  in  food-control 
officials  increases  with  experience,  and  the  people  are  entitled  to  have 
continuously,  in  connection  with  the  enforc«nent  of  food-control  laws, 
the  services  of  trained,  experienced,  administrative  and  technical  men; 
therefore,  this  association  urges  that  the  enforcement  of  food-control  laws 
be  divorced  from  politics. 

"Whereas,  There  appears  in  many  of  the  papers.  Journals  and  man- 
zines  of  this  country  false  and  misleading  st^tonents  concerning  ue 
therapeutic  value  of  so-<»lled  patent  or  proprietary  preparations,  which 
are  intended  to  and  do  deceive  the  public;  therefore,  t>e  it 

"Resolved,  That  this  association  deprecates  such  advertisements  as 
being  a  mmace  to  the  public  welfare  and  contrary  to  the  spirit  of  the 
national  food  and  drugs  act." 

ANTITOXIN  DEPARTMENT. 

Since  the  installation  of  the  antitoxin  division,  which  was  established 
about  a  year  ago,  there  has  beoi  distributed  free  to  indigent  persons  in 
this  state  146  packages  of  1000  units,  162  packages  of  3000  units,  and 
1999  packages  of  5000  units. 

It  IS  gratifying  to  note  that  during  the  past  two  months  there  hse 
been  little  use  for  the  antitoxin,  owing  to  the  almost  entire  absence  ot 
the  disease  throughout  the  state. 

Using  as  a  basis  for  computation  the  generally  accepted  rates  of  mor- 
tality in  diphtheria  where  diphtheria  antitoxin  has  been  used,  as  com- 
pared with  the  same  number  of  caSes  where  it  has  not  been  used,  we 
arrive  at  the  most  gratifying  conclusion  that  the  free  distribution  of  this 
serum  by  the  State  Board  of  Health  has  been  instrumental  in  saving 
102  lives  during  the  past  year.  1  am  very  sure  that  the  members  of  the 
Board  will  join  with  me  in  the  sentiment  that  this  has  been  indeed  worth 
while. 

I  believe  that  our  experience  in  the  distribution  of  diphtheritic  antitozia 
has  been  so  successful,  and  has  been  so  highly  appreciated  by  both  phy- 
sicians and  laymen,  that  the  Board  might,  for  the  same  reason  for  which 
tiiey  are  distributing  the  free  diphtheritic  antitoxin,  also  arrange  for  the 
distribution  of  antitoxins,  vaccines  or  serums  of  a  number  of  the  other 
malignant  infectious  diseases.  I  have  been  in  correspraidaice  with  the 
H.  K.  Mulford  company  concerning  terms  for  the  antimaiingitic  serum, 
antirabic  serum  and  for  several  of  the  bacterin,  particularly  typhoid  bac- 
terin.  I  would  recommend  to  the  Board  that  they  authorize  the  secretat^ 
to  make  such  arrangements  anij  enter  into  ouch  a  contract  as  wrill  permt 
this  Department  to  furnish  these  various  serums,  vaccines  or  bactcrms 
to  the  indigent  poor  of  the  state. 

CONTAGIOUS  AND  INFECTIOUS   DiaEABES. 

Early  in  December  Doctor  Alexander  was  requested  to  go  to  investi- 

8»te  an  epidemic  of  smallpox,  existing  on  the  borders  of  Brown  and 
oniphan  counties,  that  had  been  giving  the  local  community  conaidei^ 
able  trouble.    Earbr  in  the  same  month  Doctor  Carver  was  ivquested  to

go  to  Toronto,  in  Wilson  county,  on  a  similar  mission;  in  Februaiy 
Doctor  Milliean  kindly  consented  to  go  to  Stafford  county  to  investigate 
a  widespread  epidemic  of  scarlet  fever,  and  Doctor  Thompson,  throu^ 
his  partner,  Doctor  Fine,  made  a  similar  investtgation  in  Meade  conn^. 
It  is  suggested  that  these  doctors  make  their  personal  reports  to  the 
Board. 

The  edncational  campaign  against  tubercalosis  continues,  through  our 
ttiiTeling  exhibits  and  our  lecturer,  Dr.  S.  C.  Emiey,  and  I  am  pleased 
to  report  that  the  exhibit  is  everywhere  received  with  great  intereat; 
xaajtj,  and  in  fact  most  places,  the  evening  lectures  are  given  to  crowds 
wiUi  standing  room  only.  Up  to  the  present  time  there  have  be^i  in  the 
neig:hborbood  of  226,000  people,  according  to  actual  count,  that  have  seen 
the  exhibit  and  heard  the  lectures. 

The  federal  government  seems  to  be  more  or  less  concerned  aa  to  the 
possibility  of  Asiatic  cholera  regaining  a  foothold  in  this  country.  A 
large  number  of  immigrants  are  coming  from  certain  infected  porta  in 
Italy  and  from  infected  districts  in  Russia.  With  all  the  precautions 
exercised  at  these  stations  and  at  the  ports  of  entry  in  this  country, 
nevertheless  some  five  or  six  cases  have  reached  the  port  of  New  York. 
Inasmuch  as  this  disease  may  be  disseminated  by  carriers,  similar  to  that 
of  typhoid  fever,  the  Public  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service  has 
taken  the  precaution  to  send  out  a  warning  to  state  boards  of  health,  and 
are  sending  destination  slips  to  the  state  health  officers  of  all  immigrants 
coming  from  infected  ports;  these  slips,  in  turn,  are  sent  to  the  county 
or  city  health  officers  at  the  point  of  destination,  and  an  effort  made  to 
keep  them  under  surveillance  for  a  short  time  after  their  arrival  in  this 
countiy.  Our  laboratory  has  been  furnished  with  agglutinating  serum, 
in  order  to  make  a  quick  test  of  any  suspected  cases  that  may  develop. 
The  following  circular  letter  was  issued  to  the  health  officers  under  date 
of  December  16 : 
"To  County  and  Municipal  Health  Officers  : 

Deab  Doctor — I  am  inclosing  herewith  a  pamphlet  issued  by  the 
United  States  Public  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service  on  "Cholera, 
Its  Nature,  Detection,  and  Prevention,"  which  I  trust  may  be  of  interest 
to  you,  as  well  as  an  aid  in  detecting  any  possible  infection  of  cholera  in 
your  district. 

"Reports  are  being  received  from  the  immigration  officials  of  all  im- 
migrants from  cholera-infected  ports,  destined  to  points  in  Kansas,  and 
these  are  being  sent  out  to  the  local  health  officers  as  soon  as  received. 
"Very  truly  yours,  S.  J.  Crumbine,  M.  D.,  Secretary." 

In  October  a  communication  from  Dr.  C.  E.  Carpenter,  city  physician 
of  Leavenworth,  was  received,  calling  attention  to  the  increasing  preva- 
lence of  rabies  in  and  about  Leavenworth  and  asking  the  aid  and  as- 
sistance of  the  State  Board  of  Health  in  issuing  an  order  for- the  mus- 
zling  of  dogs.  I  replied  that  there  was  no  law  upon  the  statute  book 
giving  this  department  such  authority,  but  that  I  would  write  to  the 
eonnty  boards  of  health  of  Leavenworth,  Jefferson  and  Atchison  counties, 
redting  the  danger  to  persons  and  live  stock  in  those  respective  counties, 
and  to  tiie  fact  that  quite  a  number  of  persons  have  been  bitten  and  a 
consider^le  number  of  live  stock  destr^ed  owing  to  the  large  number 
of  rabid  dogs  and  cats  in  those  counties.  Accordingly,  the  following 
Irtter  was  sent  to  the  county  board  of. health,  as  hereby  indicated: 

"OCTOBEE  27,  1910. 
"Hon.  Board  of  County  Comndsaionera,  Otkalooea,  Kan.: 

"Gentlemen— ^Evidence  has  come  to  this  office  that  there  have  been  a 
number  of  people  in  your  county  bitten  by  rabid  dogs,  and  that  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  stock  have  been  thus  bitten,  become  infected  and 
have  perished  owing  to  what  seems  to  be  a  wide  infection  among  the  dogs 
of  your  county  and  adjacent  counties. 

"I  moat  strongly  urge  that  you  immediately  assemble  yoursdves  in

extra  BeBsion  and  pass  a  resolutiixi  reciting  the  above  conditione,  and  th« 
make  an  order  providing  that  every  dog  in  the  conntv  shall  be  munkd 
for  a  period  of  ninety  days  from  date,  and  order  the  sheriff  and  his 
deputies  to  shoot  upon  sight  every  dog  not  thus  muzzled. 

"This  notice  should  be  displayed  in  your  official  county  paper  in  ordra 
that  it  may  be  made  effective  at  the  earliest  posBibie  date.  Human  life 
is  too  precious  to  hesitate  or  put  off  a  matter  of  such  great  importance. 

"While  there  is  no  apecific  statute  concerning  the  muzzling  of  do^ 
yet  the  local  boards  of  health  are  charged  by  the  laws  of  the  state  with 
the  supervision  of  the  health  of  the  citizens  of  their  respective  counties, 
and  it  is  my  judgment  that  any  reasonable  order  that  your  honorable 
board  may  mtdcc  or  method  you  may  take  to  preserve  the  lives  of  your 
citizens  and  prevent  the  destruction  of  the  domestic  animals  of  your 
county  will  be  upheld  by  any  court  in  the  land.  There  is  absolutely  only 
one  way  by  which  this  epidemic  may  be  controlled,  and  that  is  by  the 
above  method. 

"I  trust  that  I  may  have  your  assurance  that  this  will  be  done. 
"Very  truly  yours,  S.  J.  Cbuhbinb,  M.  D.,  Secretary." 

A  similar  letter  was  written  to  the  Johnson  county  board  of  health  a 
little  later. 

DBUN4)ITENT  HEALTH  OFFICERS. 

The  difficulty  with  the  two  delincuent  health  officers  reported  at  the  laat 
meeting  has  been  satisfactorily  adjusted,  one  by  the  removal  from  office 
by  the  county  board  of  health,  and  the'  other  by  compliance  with  the 
general  health  law  and  the  regulations  of  this  Board;  hence  the  neeea-  , 
sity  for  citing  these  officers  before  the  Board  Tor  trial  no  longer  exirts. 

Upon  complaint  of  the  president  of  the  State  Federation  of  Labor,  an 
inspection  was  ordered  of  certain  railroad  camps,  as  to  their  sanitairf 
condition  and  the  food  supply.  The  inspector,  Mr.  Floyd  Tilford,  sa)>- 
mitted  a  report.

Before  sunmarizins  the  work  for  the  year  I  desire  to  advise  you  of 
t:ertain  important  matters  that  have  occurred  since  the  last  quarterly 
meeting. 

On  April  19  a  meeting  of  the  egg  shippers  of  the  state  vraa  held  at 
tiie  Throop  Hotel,  together  with  representatives  of  this  department,  of 
the  State  Agricultural  College  and  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry 
«f  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture.  The  meeting  was 
held  for  the  purpose  of  devising  ways  and  means  to  improve  the 
quality  of  the  Kansas  egg.  After  a  thorough  discussion  it  was  agreed 
by  all  shippers  present  that  ou  or  before  June  1,  e^gs  should  be  sold 
■only  on  the  "\oM^tt"  basis;  that  is,  subject  to  candling. 

Accordingly,  notices,  in  the  shape  of  a  large  poster  were  sent  to  every 
■dealer  in  the  state  whose  address  we  had,  wammg  them  against  the  sale 
of  eggv  that  are  unfit  for  food,  and  advising  the  dealer  that  on  or  be- 
fore June  1  all  eggs  should  be  bought  and  sold  subject  to  candling.  The 
^ort  put  forth  in  this  direction  a  year  ago  was  instrumental  in  greatly 
improving  the  value  of  the  Kansas  egg  on  the  Eastern  market,  and  I 
have  no  doubt  but  what  the  grade  and  quality  of  the  Kansas  egg  during 
the  coming  year  will  be  even  better. 

Too  much  praise  can  not  be  given  to  the  Kansas  Car-tot  Shipper's 
Association  for  their  hearty  cooperation  in  the  enforcement  of  the  food 
anit  drugs  law  as  it  applies  to  the  sale  of  esgs  unfit  for  use. 

Coincident  with  this  campaign,  it  has  oeen  arranged  that  a  repre- 
Mntative  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  be  allowed  to  speak  to  the 
audience  assembled  at  our  tuberculosis  exhibit  on  the  afternoon  of  one 
■day  in  each  town  which  we  make.  It  is  believed  that  much  good  can  be 
accomplished  along  these  lines  of  education  in  the  proper  care  and 
marketing  of  eggs.  This  arrangement  will  probably  be  continued  during 
the  hot  weather  season. 

ANTIFLY  CAMPAIGN. 

In  April  of  this  year  we  published  our  usual  annual  fly  Bulletin,  and 
put  into  effect  the  methods  we  have  been  using  in  past  years  in  carrying 
<m  our  antifly  campaign.  Every  letter  that  leaves  our  office  contains  a 
copy  of  the  "Swat-the-Fly"  leaflet.  The  fly  poster,  which  has  been  re- 
vised, has  been  sent  to  every  post  office  in  the  state,  with  the  request 
that  it  be  conspicuously  displayed.  Many  encouraging  reports  from 
postmasters  have  been  received,  indicating  the  value  of  these  posters  in 
directing  public  attention  to  the  dangers  of  the  house  fly.  Our  inspect- 
ors are  requiring  all  places  where  foods  and  drugs  are  prepared  or 
offered  for  sale  to  be  effectively  screened,  and  our  traveling  tuberculosis 
exhibit  is  showing  to  full  houses  our  moving  picture  on  the  "Fly  Pest." 

In  addition  to  these  methods,  we  have  succeeded  in  arousing  an  interest 
among  the  Boy  Scouts  in  s  great  many  cities  of  the  state  in  the  matter 
of  ci^  cleanliness,  particularly  as  related  to  the  breeding  places  of  flies. 

Weir  City  has  the  distinction  of  first  starting  the  Boy  Scout  antlHy 
movement.     These  boys  not  only  made  a  clean-up  of  all  the  trash  and

^rbage  of  the  city,  but  made  a  sufficient  nnmber  of  fly-swatters  t» 
place  two  in  every  house  in  the  city,  and  succeeded  in  having  the 
Commercial  Club  finance  the  project  of  making  a  large  number  of 
flytraps,  which  were  placed  about  the  frtreets.  They  then  appeared  before 
the  mayor  and  council  with  a  view  to  securing  the  passage  of  the  antjfly 
ordmance,  which  the  department  published  in  Uie  Bullbtin  a  year  ego. 
It  certainly  must  have  been  a  sight  worth  seeing,  if  one  had  been  there 
to  hear  these  juvenile  patriots  reading  the  essays,  which  they  had  with 
much  care  and  labor  prepared,  in  argument  for  the  necessity  of  the 
passage  of  the  ordinance.  You  may  be  assured  that  their  enthnsiasn 
was  rewarded,  and  the  boys  have  pledged  themselves  to  see  that  the 
ordinance  is  literally  enforced.  The  ordinance  provides  for  the  removal 
of  manure  heaps  within  certain  specified  times,  and  also  provides  that 
all  outside  toilets  shall  be  made  fly  proof. 

This  movement  has  extended  to  a  great  many  cities,  and  in  order 
that  it  might  be  properly  directed  your  secretary  secured  the  assistance 
of  the  Rev.  Walter  Burr,  of  Olathe,  who  has  had  a  large  experience  in 
the  Scout  movement.  Reverend  Burr  has  been  untiring  in  his  labor 
and  enthusiasm,  and  has  secured  the  clean-up  of  quit«  a  nnmber  of 
Kansas  towns  through  the  Boy  Scout  organization,  and  has  been  the 
means  of  distributing  thousands  of  our  leaflets  and  other  fly  literature. 

I  succeeded  in  getting  the  fly-fighting  committee  of  the  American  Civic 
Association  interested  m  the  Kansas  campaign,  and  to  that  end  prizes 
were  offered  in  the  three  largest  cities  of  the  state  for  the  best  essays, 
written  by  pupils  in  the  grammer  grades,  on  the  subject,  "The  House 
Ply  as  a  Carrier  of  Disease,"  and  was  the  means  for  distributing  a  con- 
siderable quantity  of  fly  literature.  It  might  be  of  interest  to  add  that 
Edward  Hatch,  jr.,  chairman  of  the  executive  committee  of  the  associa- 
tion, is  beginning  to  have  the  Kansas  idea  of  the  Boy  Scout  movement 
taken  up  all  over  the  country. 

COMMITTEE  ON  COOPERATION. 

The  last  meeting  of  the  Association  of  State  and  National  Food  and 
Dairy  Departments,  held  at  New  Orlesns,  passed  a  resolution  for  tiie 
creation  of  a  committee  on  coSperation  with  the  federal  government 
in  the  enforcement  of  the  national  and  state  food  and  drugs  law.  Your 
secretary  was  honored  by  being  named  chairman  for  this  C(»iunittee, 
and  upon  the  invitation  of  Secretary  Wilson  of  the  Department  of 
Agriculture  the  committee  met  in  Washington  on  Tuesday,  Hay  23, 
continuing  in  session  the  remainder  of  the  week.  The  deliberatioDS  of 
the  committee  resulted  in  the  adoption  of  the  following  resolutions: 

1.  "Whereas,  Experinece  has  demonstrated  t^at  close  and  cordial 
cooperation  between  the  federal  food  and  drug  inspection  branch  labora- 
tories, and  the  collaborating  oflicials  in  the  states  where  such  labora- 
tories are  located,  has  resulted  in  inestimable  benefit  to  both  the  labora- 
tories and  the  collaborating  state  offlcials: 

"We  therefore  recotnmend  that  those  cordial  relations  be  continued  to 
the  fullest  extent  in  all  such  cases,  and  that  the  closest  and  moat  cordial 
collaboration  be  maintained,  not  only  in  the  analytical  departments,  but 
among  the  inspection  force  as  well. 

2.  "We  recommend  that  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  be  requested  to 
cause  instructions  to  be  issued  to  all  food  and  drug  inspectors  operating 
under  the  national  food  and  drugs  act  to  the  effect  that  whenever  viola- 
tions of  the  state  food  and  drugs  acts  come  under  their  observatitai  they 
shall  report  the  same  to  the  commissioner  or  collaborating  state  official 
in  that  state. 

"It  is  further  recommended  that  all  collaborating  state  officials  in  the 
several  states  be  requested  to  transmit  immediately  to  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture  information  as  to  violations  of  the  national  law  or  informa- 
tion which  may  lead  to  the  discovery  of  such  violations,  wher«  such  of-

3.  "Whereas,  Regulation  4  of  circular  No.  21  Drescribea  that:  'Un- 
less otherwise  directed  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  the  methods  of 
analysis  employed  Hhall  be  those  prescribed  by  the  association  of  of- 
ficial agricultural  chemists  and  the  United  State  Pharmacopoeia,'  your 
committee  on  cooperation  requests  that  all  collaborating  chemists  be  sup- 
plied by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  with  the  methods  of  analysis  em- 
ployed in  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry  in  the  examination  of  foods  and  drugs, 
where  methods  have  received  the  approval  of  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture 
and  are  not  those  metiiods  prescribed  by  the  A.  O.  A.  C.  and  the  United 
States  Pharmacopoeia. 

"We  reeomm«nd  that  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  be  requested  to 
send  out  to  all  collaborating  ofH[;ials  such  confidential  information  con- 
cerning matters  of  general  interest  affecting  the  enforcement  of  the  nat- 
tional  food  and  drugs  act  as  may  be  of  assistance  to  the  collaborating 
oASciala  in  the  performance  of  their  duties. 

"/(  is  further  reconvm«nded  that  the  collaborating  officials  be  requested 
to  send  to  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  and  to  other  collaborators  in  the 
several  states,  all  new  information  of  value  and  general  interest  per- 
taining to  their  official  work  and  investigations. 

4.  "We  recommend  that  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  invite  the 
various  collaborating  state  officials  to  correspond  with  his  department  in 
all  matters  requiring  information  or  advice,  and  urge  upon  them  the 
desirability  of  interchanging  ideas  and  information  upon  all  matters 
pertaining  to  the  enforcement  of  the  national  food  and  drugs  act. 

5.  "We  recommend  that,  where  perishable  food  or  drug  products,  have 
entered  into  interstate  commerce  and  are  found  or  believed  to  be  unfit 
for  food  or  drug  purposes,  and  there  is  a  reasonable  doubt  as  to  the  con- 
ditions of  such  product  at  the  time  of  shipment  or  manufacture,  full  in- 
formation concerning  the  case  be  referred  to  the  state  official  in  whose 
state  the  shipment  originated  as  soon  as  the  first  steps  looking  to  the  con- 
demnation oi  such  product  have  been  taken.  This  state  MHcial  should 
immediately  investigate  the  source  of  such  product  and  the  sanitary  con- 
ditions under  which  it  is  manufactured  or  produced  and  immediately 
submit  all  information  obtained  in  said  investigation  to  the  state  or 
federal  official  referring  the  case. 

6.  "It  is  suffgeeted  by  this  committee  that  if  any  collaborating  state 
official  can  place  his  inspection  force  at  the  service  of  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture  to  aid  in  the  enforcement  of  the  national  food  and  drugs 
act,  this  service  be  proffered  for  such  use  as  the  occasion  may  demand. 

7.  "Whereas,  Many  of  the  states  which  have  efficient  food  laws  and 
food  control  do  -not  have  laws  preventing  adulteration  of  drugs  or  con- 
trolling the  great  evil  of  drug  substitution; 

"Therefore,  vie  recommend  that  this  association  pledge  to  the  food 
commissioners  in  states  which  do  not  have  efficient  drug  laws  its  sup- 
port and  assistance  in  their  etforts  to  secure  proper  drug  legislation; 

"And  WHBtEAS,  We  believe  that  concerted  action  will  advance  drug 
control  throughout  the  country  and  render  the  sale  of  fraudulent  and 
fake  medicinal  preparations  increaaingly  difficult,  if  not  impossible;  we 

"Reeotnmend  further  that  commissioners  be  urged  ta  prepare  cir- 
culars of  confidential  information  concerning  illegal  dru^  and  medicinal 
preparations  and  send  them  to  other  state  drug-control  ontcials  and  to  the 
federal  authorities. 

8.  "Whereas,  The  collaboration  of  federal  and  state  chemists  has 
resulted  to  the  mutual  advantage  of  all  concerned  by  bringing  about 
greater  eflilciency,  together  with  uniformity  of  methods;  and

of  food  and  drugs  is  coining  to  be  of  inereaaingly  great  importance  in  the 
detection  of  certain  forms  of  adulteration  and  decompcsition : 

"We  therefore  recoimnevd  collaboration  between  atate  and  federal 
bacteriologists  and  micro  scop  ists  as  being  desirable  for  the  same  reasons 
that  have  made  such  collaboration  of  chemiEts  both  desirable  and  neces- 
sary. 

9.  "Whereas,  In  consideration  of  the  vital  importance  and  necessity 
for  cooperation  between  the  national  and  state  food  and  drug  control 
officials  as  herein  set  forth: 

"We  unaniTnoualy  recommend  to  this  association  that  a  permanent 
standing  committee  on  cooperation  te  appointed  by  the  president  of  the 
association,  such  committee  to  consist  if  five  memcers,  and  its  duties  to 
be  to  endeavor  to  secure  cooperation  in  the  enforcement  of  the  national 
food  and  drugs  act  and  the  food  and  drugs  acts  of  the  several  states,  to 
aid  in  advancing  cooperation  between  the  federal  and  state  food  and 
drug  control  officials,  and  to  promote  cooperation  among  the  state  oRi:^ials 
of  the  several  states. 

"/(  ts  further  recommended  that  the  terms  of  office  of  the  members 
of  said  committee  be  respectively  one,  two,  three,  four  and  five  years; 
that  subsequently  the  term  of  office  of  each  shall  be  for  five  years,  and 
that  the  president  of  this  aesociation  shall  fill  any  vacancy  in  said  com- 
mittee, caused  by  death,  resignation  or  otherwise,  for  the  unexpired  term. 

"/(  is  further  recomviended  that  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  be  re- 
quested to  appoint  one  or  more  persons  connected  with  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture  to  meet  and  act  with  said  committee  on  co- 
operation at  all  its  meetings,  and  to  represent  the  said  department  in 
the  deliberations  of  said  committee. 

"H  is  further  recommended  that  said  committee  be  required  to  report 
at  the  annual  meeting  of  this  association  the  results  of  its  efforts  to  ac- 
complish such  cooperation  and  that  said  committee  be  anpowered  to  take 
such  steps  as  seem  desirable  in  promoting  such  coSperation. 

10.  "Whereas,  The  meeting  on  cooperation  held  in  May,  1911,  in 
Washington,  D,  C,  would  have  been  impossible  except  for  the  courtesies 
and  aid  extended  to  the  committee  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  in 
placing  at  its  disposal  all  facilities  necessary  for  carrying  on  its  work; 

"We  recomToend  that  the  secretary  of  this  association  be  authorized  to 
express  to  him  and  to  his  able  representative.  Dr.  F.  L.  Dunlap,  the 
thanks  of  this  association  for  the  many  courtesies  extended  to  your  com- 
mittee on  this  occasion. 

"Complete  and  full  instructions  have  been  sent  to  the  collaborating 
officials  in  connection  with  their  duties  in  the  administration  of  the- 
national  food  law.  It  has  appeared,  however,  that  certain  of  the  di- 
rections as  sent  have  not  been  sufficiently  exp^natory,  and  in  order  to 
make  these  points  clearer  to  the  collaborating  officials  it  has  seemed  to 
the  committee  desirable  to  discuss  more  fully  some  of  these  steps.  The 
committee  wishes  to  express  its  thanks  to  Mr.  W.  P.  Jones,  of  the  Solici- 
tor's Office  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture,  for  the  aid  he  has 
furnished  them  in  working  out  the  details  of  the  explanations  which  fol- 
low in  connection  with  this  phase  of  the  coSperative  work. 

"The  collaborators  are  referred  tc  the  Manual  of  Instruction  issued  by 
the  Department  of  Agriculture,  wherein  general  information  on  this  sub- 
ject is  given.   ' 

"Three  things  are  necessary  to  successful  prosecution  of  a  case  under 
section  2  of  the  federal  law: 

"FiTitt.   The  sample  must  have  been  shipped  in  interstate  commerce. 

"Seeortd.  The  sample  must  be  received  by  the  analyst  in  the  idaitical 
condition  in  which  it  was  shipped  from  another  state.  (Sample  must  be 
an  'unbroken  package.')

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  31 

"Third.  The  sample  miiat  have  been  adulterated  or  miBbraDded  at  the 
time  it  was  shipped  from  another  state. 

"The  gist  of  the  oBeaee  is  the  sfaipmcoit;  that  is,  in  goieral,  tiie  de- 
livery  within  a  etat«  of  an  article  of  food  or  drug  to  a  carrier  for 
traiiBport«tion  into  another  state.  The  contents  of  tne  sample  must  be 
in  the  exact  condition  in  which  they  were  shipped,  in  order  that  the 
analyst  or  examiner  may  be  able  to  testify  to  the  composition  of  the 
article  at  the  time  it  was  shipped. 

"The  regulatiims  adopted  oy  the  three  secretaries  wisely  provide  that 
only  those  etate  officials  holding  commissions  from  the  Secretary  of  Ag- 
riculture, and  their  agents,  shall  collect  samples  on  which  to  base  proBe- 
cutiona  under  the  law.  The  commissionB  issued  by  the  Secretary  must 
be  carefully  preserved,  so  that  they  may  be  produced,  if  necessary,  to 
show  that  samples  were  regularly  collected.  The  commissioned  state  of- 
ficials should  issue  similar  commissions  to  their  agents,  which  must  like- 
wise be  preserved.  What  products  shall  be  samples  rests  in  the  discretion 
of  the  commissioned  state  officials,  subject  to  such  requests  as  the  Secre- 
tary of  Agriculture  may  make  from  time  to  time.  The  commissioned  state 
oMdal  shall  instruct  his  agents  what  samples  to  collect,  sftid  only  those  ' 
samples  can  be  used  which  are  collected  by  agents  within  the  authority 
conferred  on  them  by  the  commissioned  state  official, 

"A  commissioned  state  official,  or  his  agent,  when  collecting  a  sample 
within  his  state  which  has  been  received  from  another  state,  territory 
or  the  District  of  Columbia,  should  keep  in  mind  and  use  the  forms  pro- 
vided by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture.  For  example,  if  Mr.  Woods  or 
his  agent  finds  in  the  state  of  Maine  adulterated  foods  shipped  into  the 
state  from  Illinois,  he  should  procure  a  sample  and  take  a  receipt  there- 
for on  the  Department  of  Agriculture  form  (Dealer's  Receipt).  At  least 
three  packages  should  be  procured,  when  practicable,  and  m  bulk  goods 
enough  to  subdivide  into  tniee  parts.  He  should  obtain  from  the  <^ler 
records  (invoices,  etc.) ,  showing  the  sale  of  the  shipment  of  which  the 
sample  is  a  part,  and  transportation  records  (way  bflls,  freight  receipts, 
etc.),  covering  the  transportation  of  the  shipment  from  Illinois  to  Maine. 
The  dealer's  receipt  should  be  signed  by  a  person  who  can  identify  the 
sample  with  the  records  of  sale  and  transportation,  and  who  can  teatify 
that  the  sample  delivered  to  the  inspector  was  in  the  same  condition  as 
whoi  received  by  the  dealer.  The  records  of  sale  and  tninsportation 
may  be  originals  or  copies.  Originals  are  preferable,  but  all  records  ob- 
tained should  be  initialed  by  the  dealer,  so  that  he  may  identify  them 
later.  The  samples  should  be  sealed  and  marked  by  the  collector,  using 
D.  of  A.  seals  and  marks.  He  should  also  prepare  a  report  of  collection, 
using  Department  of  Agriculture  Inspector's  Description  of  Sample  Book, 
And  Inspector's  Report  of  Collection. 

"The  reports  should  be  delivered  to  Mr.  Woods  with  all  the  samples 
except  aae,  which  should  be  turned  over  to  Mr.  Bartlett,  the  chemist  in 
Maine  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  as  collaborating  chemist 
in  the  Bureau  of  Chonistry.  Mr.  Bartlett  should  examine  the  sample 
pmwiptly  and  report  the  results  to  Mr.  Woods,  using  the  Department  of 
Agriculture  Analytical  Sheet  and  Chemist's  Report.  Mr.  Woods  should 
kMp  a  record  of  the  sample  on  Department  of  Agriculture  Sample  Index 
Card.  If,  in  his  opinion,  Bartlett's  report  shows  the  sample  to  be  adul- 
terated or  mi^randed.  Woods  should  send  to  Jones  in  Illinois  reports  of 
the  inspector  and  analyst,  one  of  the  samples,  and  ask  him  to  cite  shipper 
for  hearing.  Woods  should  notify  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  of  his 
action.  Jones  should  cite  the  shipper  for  hearing  at  once,  fixing  a 
reasonable  time,  and,  if  requested,  snould  turn  Uie  sample  over  to  the 
shipper.  Under  Regulation  6,  hearings  are  private  and  conAned  to 
gneraons  of  fact.  The  Department  of  Apiculture  form,  Appointmoit  for 
Hearins,  should  be  used  and  sent  by  registered  mail.  The  return  receipt 
card  ahould  be  filed  in  the  records  of  the  case,  to  show  delivery  of  tne 
notice.  Everything  which  transpires  at  the  hearing  should  be  taken  down 
by  a  stenographer  and  a  transcript  made.    If  it  is  impracticable  to  furnish

dictate  a  summary  of  the  hearing  and  have  it  transcribed  iftimediatdy 
after  the  close  of  the  hearing.  The  hearing  should  be  conducted  in  ac- 
cordance with  Regulation  6.  For  further  information  with  respect  to  ' 
hearings  the  commissioned  state  official  should  ccoiault  Departmoit  ot 
Agriculture  Manual  of  Instructions,  page  46.  After  the  hearing  Jmes 
should  Bead  all  the  records  received  from  Woods  to  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture,  together  with  the  reports  of  the  hearing.  If  it  devdopi, 
however,  that  the  shipper  holds  a  guarantee  under  section  9  of  the  law, 
and  the  guar&ntor  resides  in  Illinois,  Jones  should  cite  the  guarantor  for 
hearing  also  before  him,  and  report  both  hearings  to  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture.  Jones  should  notify  Woods  when  the  hearings  have  beai 
held,  and  also  whm  be  has  rtferred  the  case  to  the  Secretary  of  Agri- 
culture. 

"On  receipt  of  the  records  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  they  will  be 
summarized  by  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry  and  sent  to  the  solicitor  for 
recommaidation  whether  prosecution  shall  be  had.  Woods  and  Jones  will 
be  notified  of  the  Secretary's  decision.  If  the  ease  is  aait  to  the  At- 
torney-general for  prosecution,  Woods  will  be  called  on  for  a  sample  to  be 
examined  by  the  collaborating  chonist  in  Illinois,  to  check  Bartlett's  re- 
sults, and  also  to  make  available  to  the  United  States  attorn^  in 
Illinois,  where  the  case  must  be  tried,  an  analyst  wiUi  whom  he  may  con- 
fer in  the  preparation  of  the  case.  The  remits  of  the  check  analysis  will 
be  reported  by  Jones  to  Woods  and  the  Secretary  of  A^culture.  Both 
Woods  and  Jones  should  notify  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  of  any 
pertinent  facts  in  the  case  which  may  come  to  their  notice  at  any  time 
prior  to  its  termination  in  court. 

"Suppose,  on  the  other  hand,  that  Mr.  Jones  finds  the  mannfactorers 
□r  jobbers  in  Illinois  are  shipping  adulterated  or  misbranded  foods  and 
drugs  into  the  state  of  Maine  m  violation  of  the  federal  laws.  He  should 
instruct  his  inspectors  to  obtain  information,  through  the  transportation 
companies,  of  uie  date  of  shipment  and  the  names  of  consignees,  and 
make  a  report  to  Mr.  Woods,  giving  him  the  details  with  regard  to  Uie 
shipment,  together  with  his  reasons  for  believing  that  the  articles  shipped 
are  adulterated  or  mishranded.  With  this  report  before  him,  Hr.  Woodi 
will  be  enabled  to  make  a  prompt  collection  of  a  sample,  have  it  examined, 
and  proceed  to  prepare  a  case  for  prosecution  against  the  shippers,  as 
above  outlined. 

"Or  if  in  his  opinion  the  circumstances  warrant  £uch  action,  Mr. 
Woods  may  ask  the  United  States  attorney  for  the  district  of  Maine  to 
make  a  seizure  of  the  shipment.  Prompt  action  is  necessary  to  effect 
seizures  of  focds  and  drugs.  Adulterated  and  misbranded  foods  are 
liable  to  seizure  under  the  law  as  long  as  they  remain  in  the  original 
unbroken  packages;  that  is  to  say,  generally  speaking,  packages  in  which 
they  are  dipped  in  interstate  commerce.  Under  a  recent  decision  of  the 
supreme  court,  it  is  immaterial  whether  adulterated  or  misbranded  goods 
have  been  transferred  out  of  the  possession  of  the  original  consignee 
within  the  state.  Proof  is  necessary,  however,  to  show  that  the  goods 
either  are  in  the  course  of  transportation  from  one  state  to  another  or 
have  been  transported  from  one  state  to  another.  In  presenting  pro- 
posed seizures  to  the  United  States  attorney,  Mr.  Woods,  therefore, 
should  furnish  him  with  evidence  in  the  form  of  freight  bills,  waybiUs, 
express  receipts,  invoice,  etc.,  when  they  are  available,  showing  that  the 
particular  lot  of  goods  have  been  transported  in  interstate  commerce.  If 
inspectors  themselves  witness  the  interstate  transportation  of  goods,  a 
statement  to  the  effect  to  the  United  States  attorney  will  take  the  plaec 
of  records  of  interstate  transportation.  If  Mr.  Jones  has  furnished  Mr. 
Woods  with  an  analysis  of  a  sample  taken  from  the  shipment,  or  fmia 
other  shipmenta  of  the  same  goods  made  on  or  about  the  same  time,  and 
this  analysis  shows  that  the  goods  are  adulterated  and  misbranded,  the 
United  States  attorney  may  he  asked  to  seize  the  goods  on  the  strength

of  this  analysis.  It  is  preferable,  however,  if  there  is  time,  that  a  sample 
should  he  obtained  from  the  shipment  after  ita  arrival  in  the  state  of 
Maine,  and  there  analyzed.  The  reason  for  this  ia,  that  to  obtain  a  de- 
cree of  condemnation  or  forfeiture  it  ia  oeceftsaty  to  ahow  that  goods  are 
adulterated  or  misbranded  at  the  time  seizure  is  made.  In  the  case  of 
perishable  goods,  it  is  necessary  that  an  examination  should  be  made  of 
samples  on  their  arrival  within  the  state,  and  it  may  very  well  happen 
that  goods  which  were  not  adulterated  at  the  time  they  left  the  state  of 
Illinois  may  he  adulterated  when  they  arrive  within  the  state  of  Maine. 
It  is  possible,  also,  that  goods  shipped  from  Illinois  may  be  relabeled  or 
branded  after  their  arrival  in  the  state  of  Maine,  go  that,  although  mis- 
branded  at  the  time  of  shipment,  they  may  not  be  misbranded  in  the 
hands  of  the  consignee.  Mr.  Woods  should  advise  the  Secretary  of  Agri- 
culture and  Mr.  Jones  promptly  of  any  action  he  may  take  with  respect 
to  asking  United  States  attorneys  to  make  seizures  of  adulterated  foods 
shipped  from  Illinois.  The  report  should  be  in  detail,  showing  the  facta 
of  interstate  transportation,  the  analytical  results,  particulars  in  which 
the  goods  are  alleged  to  be  adulterated  and  misbranded,  and  the  action 
taken  by  the  United  States  attorney.  If  the  United  States  attorney  ac- 
cepts his  recommendation,  Mr.  Woods  should  obtain  and  send  to  the  Sec- 
retary of  Agriculture  a  copy  of  the  libel  filed,  and  should  keep  him  ad- 
vised of  the  progress  of  the  suit.  Mr.  Woods  should  ask  the  United  States 
attorney  for  permission  to  take  samples  from  the  seized  goods  for 
analysis;  a  stilncient  number  of  samples  should  be  procured  to  be  repre- 
sentative of  the  shipment.  These  samples  ehould  be  sealed,  marked,  and 
analyzed  as  soon  as  possible  after  they  are  obtained.  Mr.  Woods  should 
advise  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  of  the  number  of  samples  obtained 
and  whether  he  desires  to  have  any  of  the  samples  examined  by  chemists 
outside  the  state  of  Maine.  In  contested  cases  it  is  frequently  important 
to  have  examinations  of  samples  made  by  different  analysts,  and  it  will 
generally  be  found  expedient  to  have  the  analysis  made  by  the  collaborat- 
ing chemist  in  Maine,  supplemented  by  analysis  made  either  by  the 
Bureau  of  Chemistry  or  by  collaborating  chemists  in  other  states." 

If  the  plana  and  work  herein  outlined  shall  be  adopted  by  the  National 
AsEociation  at  their  next  meeting  and  formally  approved  by  the  govern- 
ment, which  we  have  the  assurance  they  will  be,  it  would  be,  in  my  judg- 
ment, the  most  important  movement  in  food  and  drug  control  that  has 
ever  been  inaugurated.  Hitherto  there  has  been  a  lack  of  harmony  and 
cofiperatiQn  between  the  states  and  the  government,  and  between  the 
several  states  themselves.  This  plan  would  harmonize  and  strengthen 
the  hands  of  every  food  commissioner  as  well  as  that  of  the  federal  gov- 
ernment in  the  enforcement  of  both  the  state  and  national  laws. 

INSPECTION   Oy  PRIVATE  SCHOOLS. 

Agreeable  to  the  sentiment  expressed  in  the  former  meeting,  that 
there  was  just  as  good  and  perhaps  greater  need  for  the  inspection  of  the 
private  as  for  the  state  educational  institutions,  the  president,  at  the  sug- 
gestion of  the  secretary,  appointed  certain  members  of  the  Board,  living 
closest  to  the  schools  designated,  as  a  committee  to  visit  and  inspect  such 
institution.    The  assignments  as  made  were  as  follows:

It  is  suggested  that  copies  of  these  reports  should  be  sent  to  the  head 
of  the  institutions  inspected,  and  In  case  of  grave  insanitary  conditions 
existing  that  would  seem  to  be  a  menace  to  the  health  of  the  students, 
that  the  Board  should  issue  an  order  requiring  such  changes  to  be  made 
as  would  seem  to  be  necessary  to  remove  such  a  menace. 

HOTELS. 

As  indicated  in  a  former  report,  the  work  in  the  inspection  of  hoteb 
by  count;  health  officers  has  in  many  instances  proven  entirely  ineffective 
in  the  enforcement  of  the  law.  It  was  thought  best,  therefore,  to  tempo- 
rarily withdraw  our  food  and  drug  inspectors  from  their  usual  work,  in 
order  that  th^  might  visit  the  counties  in  which  the  inspection  of  hoteb 
had  not  been  made  or  in  which  the  law  had  been  ineffectively  enforced; 
accordingly,  the  following  circular  tetter  was  issued  to  inspectors: 

Circular  Letter  No.  iS. 
"To  Food  and  Drug  InepeetorB:  "**  "'  *®^*- 

"Beginning  the  week  of  Monday,  May  22,  inspectors  will  devote  tbdr 
time,  until  further  notice,  to  hotel  and  restaurant  inspection.  Beginning 
in  the  town  in  each  county  where  is  located  the  coun^  health  officer,  get 
him  and  the  local  fire  marshal  to  accompany  you  if  possible,  and  then 
clean  up  the  hotels  and  restaurants  in  that  county.  Where  yon  And 
flagrant  violations  of  the  law,  complaint  should  be  ftled  with  the  county 
attorney.  Orders  left  for  clesn-ups,  changes  or  repairs  should  be  certified 
back,  upon  compliance,  to  you  by  one  of  these  officials  or  the  town 
marshal. 

"Where  you  are  delayed  in  a  town  longer  than  it  takes  for  hotel  in- 
spection, you  should,  of  c6urse,  take  up  your  regular  inspection  worii, 
preference  being  given  to  meat  markets,  bakeries  and  flour  mills,  in  the 
order  named. 

"Accompanying  this  letter  is  a  list  of  counties  assigned  to  you  for 
this  special  work.  Move  fast,  as  we  can  not  spend  too  much  time  on  this 
work.  Very  truly  yours.  S.  J.  CRUUBINE,  M.  D.,  Secretary. 

"P.  S. — Certificates  will  not  be  issued  on  this  special  inspection  by 
inspectors,  unless  accompanied  by  the  order  of  the  County  Health  OIBcer, 
who  will  make  out  report  in  the  usual  manner  on  the  blanks  furnished 
by  this  department," 

This  inspection  has  revealed  the  wisdom  of  detailing  inspectors  on  this 
work,  and  has  strengthened  my  former  belief  that  the  department  should

hftre  at  least  two  high-class  men  whose  entire  time  should  be  devoted  to 
hotel  inspection,  and  that  work  be  taken  out  of  the  baDda  of  the  county 
health  officers. 

QENE&AL. 

Food  ajtd  Drugs  Law. 

The  work  under  the  division  of  focd  and  drugs  for  the  past  year  has 
been  carried  on  in  the  same  vigorous  fashion  that  has  characterized  tJiat 
division  of  the  worit  since  its  inception,  having  always  in  mind  fairness 
and  a  square  deal  to  all  parties  concerned. 

Inspectors  are  endeavoring  to  enforce  in  a  special  manner  the  sani- 
tary provisions  of  the  law.  There  is  no  reastxi  why  cleanliness  should 
not  prevail  in  every  Kansas  establishment.  It  is  to  be  exnected,  there- 
fore, that  a  goodly  number  of  the  prosecutions  which  have  Mm  brought 
daring  the  past  year  have  been  for  violating  the  sanitary  provisiona 
of  the  law. 

Of  the  proeecuti<Mi8  that  have  been  brought  since  the  publication  of  the 
last  biennial  report,  which  now  covers  a  period  of  two  years,  there  have 
been  86  for  the  adulteration  of  drugs;  189  for  the  adulteration  of  foods, 
and  71  for  insanitaij  conditions  where  foods  were  produced  or  offeree 
for  sale.  Two  cases  have  been  successfully  brought  for  obstructing 
hispecticm. 

Speaking  generally,  it  is  my  belief  that  the  conditions  of  the  food 
ar.d  dtug  eetablishmente  are  in  most  instances  highly  satisfactory. 
Cf  course,  there  are  constantly  recurring  problems  and  much  work  to 
be  aecompliahed  yet  in  food  and  drug  control,  particularly  the  latter. 

In  thia  ccmnection  I  desire  to  speak  of  one  remaining  evil  that  is  so 
often  practiced  hy  dru^ists — that  of  substitution.  In  order  that  some 
educational  wo<-k  should  l:e  done  along  that  line,  I  asked  Profeseor  Sayre, 
the  dni^  analyst  for  the  department,  to  lay  the  matter  before  the  annual 
meeting"  of  the  State  Pharmaceutical  Association,  which  he  kindly  con- 
sented to  do  by  submitting  the  following  message,  which  I  trust  will  meet 
with  your  approval: 

"The  druggists  of  the  state  are  to  be  congratulated  in  that  the 
standard  f<>r  drugs  and  medicinal  prepArations  is  receiving  more  atten- 
tion. Improvement  in  facial  preparations  is  more  or  less  marked,  and 
it  IS  the  hope  of  the  department  that  every  druggist  in  the  state  of 
Kansas  will  nave  on  his  oiepensing  shelves  preparations  which  will  uni- 
formly respond  to  the  official  test.  Pehaps  many  of  you  will  recall 
that  in  a  recent  Bulletin  the  following  statement  was  made:  'We 
will  match  the  drug  and  grocery  stores  of  this  state  with  any  other  state 
in  the  Union,  in  the  same  size  town,  as  to  sanitary  conditions  and  quality 
of  stock.'    (November,  1910.) 

"The  State  Board  of  Health  is  not  only  heartily  in  sympathy  with 
every  effort  of  the  pharmacists  to  improve  the  standard  and  quality  of 
drugs  and  pharmaceuticals,  but  fr<xn  the  above  quotation  in  the  Bm.un'IN 
it  would  seem  that  it  is  jealous  of  the  standmg  of  the  Kansas  phar- 
macists, and  is  proud  of  the  progress  that  has  been  made  in  recent  years 
in  dissipating  the  odium  which  to  a  greater  or  less  degree  was  associated 
with  the  name  of  the  Kansas  druggists. 

"With  this  feeling,  then,  as  a  basis,  it  is  the  department's  desire  to 
bring  before  the  attention  of  the  pharmadsta  of  uie  state  one  of  the 
ronaining  evils — that  of  substitution.  This  is  no  new  evil,  or  one  that 
is  practiced  by  the  disreptuable  pharmacist  alone,  but,  strangely  enough, 
many  of  our  best,  most  cultured  and  intelligent  pharmacists  have  been 
taken  up  into  the  mount  of  "Just  as  Good,"  have  been  shown  the  king- 
doms of  profit  in  the  valleya  below,  and  have  been  swept  away  from  the- 
Bane  moorings  of  reputable  pharmacy  in  the  vicious  practice  of  sub- 
stitution. 

"It  is  in  a  spirit  of  frankness  and  fairness,  entirely  devoid  of  animosity 
or  ill  will,  that  I  want  to  announce  that  on  and  after  this  date  evidence, 
agatnirt  any  pharmacists  that  haa  been  substituting  in  any  particular,.

especially  in  that  of  prescriptions,  will  be  the  grounds  for  a  criminal 
prosecution  in  the  courts.    The  day  of  the  'Bubstituter*  is  past  in  Kansas. 

"The  responsibility  rests  upon  the  department  to  see  to  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  law,  and  one  of  the  epecitic  thinKs  forbidden  hj  the  Kansas 
food  and  drugs  law  is  that  of  substitution.  We  submit,  therefore,  in 
alt  fairness,  whether  or  not  the  pharmacists  of  Kansas  expect  the  Board 
of  Health  to  waive  or  set  aside  Uie  plain  provision  of  the  law  which  they 
are  charged  to  enforce. 

"The  members  of  the  pharmaceutical  profession,  as  loyal  citieens 
<d  the  state,  it  is  presumed  will  do  all  they  can  to  support  the  state  laws 
and  hold  up  the  hands  of  those  into  whose  hands  Uie  responsibility  of 
Uie  administration  of  the  law  is  placed,  and  the  State  Board  of  Health 
asks  for  your  hearty  coSperation  in  this  matter." 

I  am  advised  that  the  association  took  active  and  advanced  groond 
in  the  queBti<»i  of  substituticm,  and  I  am  zlad  to  know  that  they  have 
unequivocally  denounced  the  practice  and  nave  indicated  their  willinE- 
ness  to  assist  the  department  in  the  enforcement  of  the  law. 
Stafidardixation  of  Disinfectants. 

There  are  a  great  many  so-called  disinfectants  upon  the  market  that 
make  extravagant  claims  as  to  their  potency.  It  is  my  belief  that  ttie 
division  of  foods  and  drugs  should  require  the  standardization  of  all 
disinfectants  sold  in  the  state,  and  that  the  labels  on  such  prepsrattons 
as  claim  to  be  disinfectants  should  make  a  definite  statement  as  to 
the  carbolic  acid  coefliciency.  The  necessity  for  this  must  appeal  to  the 
members  of  the  Board  without  argument,  and  I  therefore  recommend 
ti^t  the  Committee  on  Food  and  Drug  Standards  be  directed  to  investi- 
gate the  matter  fully  and  recranmend  to  the  Board  some  action,  together 
with  suggested  standards,  to  report  at  the  next  quarterly  meeting. 
Weights  and  Measures  Law, 

Since  the  passage  of  the  weights  and  measures  law  sixty-eight  prose- 
cutions have  been  successfully  brought  for  the  violation  of  the  same 
Thousands  of  weights  and  scales  have  been  inspected  and  a  great  many 
^condemnations  made.  One  of  the  surprises  of  the  work  has  been  the 
large  percentage  of  both  weights  and  scales,  including  both  avoirdupms 
and  apothecaries',  that  were  found  to  be  beyond  the  limit  of  tolerance 
permitted  under  the  law  and  the  rules  and  regulations  promulgated  by 
the  state  sealer  of  weights  and  measures.  For  illustratiMi,  it  has  been 
found  that  about  35  per  cent  of  the  apothecaries'  weights  that  have  thua 
far  been  inspected  have  been  condemned,  and  about  80  per  cent  of  the 
.old-fashioned  iron  avoirdupois  weights  have  been  found  inaccurate, 
usually  short  of  weight  by  reason  of  rust  and  in  having  the  edges 
.chipped.  As  indicated  in  a  previous  report,  about  35  per  cent  of  the 
large  wagon  scales  were  beyond  the  limit  of  tolerance. 

In  all  fairness,  it  should  be  said  that  in  most  instances  the  error  in 
the  weights  and  scales  were  unknown  by  the  'dealer,  as  hitherto  he  has 
had  no  way  of  knowing  as  to  whether  or  not  they  were  correct.  In  a 
small  number  of  instances  there  was  clear  evidence  of  intention  to  de- 
fraud, and  in  all  such  cases  prosecutions  were  filed  against  the  offenders. 
Division  of  Water  and  Sewage. 

The  work  under  the  division  of  water  and  sewage  has  grown  to  such 
an  extent,  as  requested  in  a  former  meeting  that  an  assistant  engineer 
had  to  be  secured.  The  engineer  of  the  Board,  Professor  Uoad,  will 
Whmit  his  annual  report  covering  in  detail  his  work  in  Uiat  division. 
The  Secretary  will  be  content,  therefore,  in  simply  saying  that  two 
of  the  most  important  tasks  the  State  Board  of  Health  has  ever  onder- 
taken  will  come  up  for  solution  during  the  coming  year,  whiidi  have 
direct  bearing  upon  the  physical  welfare  of  a  large  number  of  our 
citiEens.  I  refer  to  the  towns  lying  in  the  drainage  areas  of  the  Cotton- 
wood and  Neosho  and  Virdigris  rivera,  and  the  cities  rituated  on  the

MiBEouri  river,  all  of  which  are  being  used  u  a   source  of  domeBtie 
water  supply  for  the  cities  situated  thereon. 

The  domestic  supply  of  almost  every  citv  in  the  state  has  been  aa- 
alyzed  as  to  its  wholeaomeneaa  and  purity  by  the  chemist  of  the  State 
Water  Survey,  and  Buggestiona  for  the  betterment  of  the  same  have 
been  made,  and  in  many  instances  put  into  operation. 

The  value  of  the  water  and  sewage  work  in  relation  to  the  life  and 
health  of  the  people  of  Kansas  can  not  be  overestimated. 
Hotel  Jnspeetum. 

Some  1200  of  the  approximately  1700  hotels  have  bete -inspected  twice. 
About  1000  have  beoi  granted  certificates,  80  have  bera  closed  because  of 
bBantUtry,  filthy  ccmditions,  or  failare  to  comply  with  the  law,  and  the 
balance  are  pending  while  undergoing  repairs  or  arranging  for  com- 
phance  for  the  second  inspection. 

Vital  StatuticB  Late. 

For  some  time  after  the  legislature  adjourned  ic  was  thought  im- 
posaibte  to  put  into  operation  the  vital-statiBtics  law,  because  of  lack  of 
funds  appropriated  for  that  purpose.  The  whole  question  was  laid  before 
the  governor  and  the  state  auditor,  and  their  permisRion  finally  secured 
to  permit  ua  to  use  the  emergoicy  fund  for  one  of  the  clerks  and  the 
tuberculosis  fund  for  another.  After  the  salary  of  the  state  registrar  is 
takoi  out  of  the  amount  specifically  appropriated  by  the  Legiafature,  it 
would  leave  f?00  for  miscellaneous  expenses,  not  enough  to  provide 
another  clerk.  It  has  therefore  been  arranged  with  the  city  clerks  of 
the  cities  of  the  first  class  to  provide  a  third  clerk  in  the  department,  by 
turning  back  so  much  of  the  fees  as  are  necessary  for  tliat  purpose. 
This  arrang^nent  is  done  with  the  knowledge  and  consent  of  the  gov- 
ernor and  state  auditor  and  with  the  consent  of  all  the  city  clerks  ttius 
far  interviewed.  I  trust  that  this  arrangement  for  the  use  of  the  funds 
above  moitioned  and  the  arrangement  with  the  city  clerks  will  meet  with 
your  approval. 

It  is  believed  that  the  importance  of  the  law  as  a  sanitary  measure 
and  the  value  of  the  records  from  a  legal  and  scientific  standpoint  are 
so  great  Uiat  the  extraordinary  methods  herein  adopted  to  make  the  law 
immediately  effective  are  warranted. 

The  election  of  the  state  r^strar  and  the  adopt)<»t  of  the  rules  and 
regulations  under  the  law  will  come  before  you  under  the  head  of  new 
business. 

TubercKloait  Exhibit. 

Two  years'  work  of  our  traveling  tuberculosis  exhibit  is  almost  aided, 
and  it  is  a  source  of  great  pleasure  end  gratification  that  the  work  has 
been  most  successful,  and  I  believe  the  means  of  accomplishing  great 


ceming  the  cause  and  prevention  of  this  great  scourge  of  humanity — 
tuberculosis. 

Since  the  addition  of  the  two  moving-picture  Blma,  "The  Fly  Peat" 
and  the  dirty-milk  story,  "The  Man  Who  Learned,"  Doctor  Emley,  the 
lecturer  in  charge,  reports  that  there  has  be«n  difficulty  in  securing 
halls  large  enou^  to  take  care  of  the  crowds. 

There  have  beoi,  up  to  the  pres^it  year,  approximately  one-quarter 
million  of  people  who  have  seen  the  exhibit  and  heard  the  lectures.  The 
edifbit  has  visited  every  county  in  the  state  at  one  or  more  places. 
Special  effort  has  been  made  to  secure  the  attendance  of  the  students  and 
teachers  of  tiie  public  schools,  which  effort  has  been  generally  successful, 
for  the  final  solution  of  the  control  of  most  of  our  infectious  diseases, 
particalariy  that  of  tuberculosis,  must  depend  largely,  if  not  chiefly, 
up<m  Uie  disscanination  of  accurate  information  among  the  people,  par- 
ticularly the  on-coming  goierations. 

That  board  of  health  whose  chief  function  is  to  attempt  the  control  of 
epidemic  diseases  tiirough  quarantine  and  disinfection,  whose  ofllce  foice

is  ehiefli/  tngAged  in  the  tabalation  of  vltsl  statdsticB,  and  whose  pub- 
lications are  cluttered  with  wearisome  tables  of  the  same,  has  yet  to 
learn  its  true  mission — that  of  education  of  the  people  in  personal  and 
public  hygiene,  which  is  tha  fundamental  basis  of  successful  prevoitiTe 
medicine  as  it  relates  to  public  health  work. 

Strang«ly  enough,  the  dissemination  of  knowledge  among  tlie  people 
in  matters  of  personal  and  public  hygiene  has  not  kept  pace  wiOi  the 
goienil  increase  in  and  dissemination  of  knowledge  along  other  lines; 
so  that  it  is  not  at  all  uncommon  to  find  highly  educat«d  people  bold^ 
the  most  absurd  and  grotesque  views  on  subjects  concemmg  Uieir  own 
bodies,  of  the  caute  and  prevention  of  disease,  or  the  common  principles 
underlying  private  and  public  sanitation. 

Modem  public  health  work  must,  therefore,  concern  itself  with  methods 
and  plans  whereby  the  people  as  a  whole  may  be  instructed,  to  the  end 
that  the  work  of  boards  of  health  in  the  suppression  of  preventable  dis- 
eases may  receive  intelligeit  and  systematic  codperation,  and  that  cities 
and  communities  may  not  hesitate  or  delay  to  carry  out  such  plans  or 
public  works  as  may  prevent  disease  and  which  may  be  for  the  promotitui 
of  the  general  comfort  and  public  welfare. 

I  regret  to  announce  that  Doctor  Emley  believes  that  he  can  not,  in 

i'ustice  to  himself  and  family,  continue  the  work  another  year,  as  the 
egislature  has  provided  for  ite  continuance.  I  would,  therefore,  ask  for 
an  order  from  the  Board  to  secure  another  lecturer,  upon  such  toms 
ae  can  be  made  to  get  a  Arst-class  man.  It  is  my  belief  that  the  work 
of  the  exhibit  was  chiefly  instrumental  in  securing  from  the  legislature 
an  appropriation  for  a  State  Tuberculosis  Sanatorium. 
TvbercHlont  Notification  Laic. 

It  is  a  matter  of  regret  and  considerable  concern  that  the  provisiona 
of  Uie  tuberculosis  notification  law  have  not  yet  been  fully  observed  by 
the  physicians  of  the  state.  It  is  thought  that  after  the  vital  statistics 
law  becomes  fully  operative  we  will  be  in  a  better  position  to  discover 
what  physicians  are  failing  to  comply  with  the  law,  through  the  death 
reports  on  tuberculosis  that  are  filed  throu^  the  department  monthly. 
At  all  events,  I  believe  that  after  two  years  time  we  should  insist,  through 
the  courts  if  necessary,  that  this  most  beneflc lent  law  be  literally  enforced. 

INFECTIOUS  DISEASES. 

Anterwr  PoUomyelitit. 

The  past  year  has  been  exceptionally  free  from  grave  epidemics  of 
the  infectious  diseases,  with  the  single  exception  of  an  epidemic  of  an- 
terior poliomyelitis,  which  is  the  second  year  that  this  malignant  infectiaa 
has  visited  our  state.  Altogether  there  were  1B9  eases,  affecting  47 
counties,  between  Uie  1st  of  July  and  the  1st  of  December,  ISIO. 

There  have  been  two  cases  reported  this  year — one  from  Saline  county 
and  one  from  Riley  county.  It  is  certainly  to  be  hoped  that  we  will  not 
have  a  repetition  of  the  epidemic  this  year. 

A  study  of  the  cases  occurring  in  last  year's  epidemic  is  being  made, 
and  the  results  of  the  same  will  be  published  in  a' future  issue  of  the 
Bulletin. 

Experiments  with  monkeys  at  the  Roeedale  Hospital  will  be  continued 
this  year  if  tfie  opportunity  is  presented.  It  is  also  desired  that  a  number 
of  cases  in  the  acute  stage  be  taken  to  the  hospital  for  study;  and  it  is 
desired  that  the  fullest  facilities  in  the  matter  of  study  be  givMi  to  those 
in  chai^,  with  the  hope  that  our  limited  knowledge  concerning  the  dis- 
semination of  the  disease  and  iU  treatment  may  be  greatly  extended. 
Rabies. 

It  is  a  serious  fact  that  rabies  in  Kansas  is  rapidly  on  the  increase. 
There  has  been  scarcely  a  week  for  the  past  year  but  what  fr«n  one  to  a 
haK-doien  eases  of  bite  of  some  person  or  persons  by  a  mppoaedly  mad- 
dog  has  been  reported  to  the  department.    In  addition  to  una.  thousands

of  dollare'  wortti  of  yaluable  live  stock  have  been  thuB  infected  and  de- 
atroyed.  It  is  tay  belief  that  the  time  has  come  for  the  inaugnmtion  of 
a  statc-widfl  muzzling  order  for  dogs,  lasting  for  a  period  of  at  least 
sixty  days.  And  it  is,  therefore,  reconunended  that  the  Board  petitioa 
the  state  sanitary  live-stock  commissioner  to  issue  such  an  order.  Under 
the  law,  it  seems  that  the  commissioner  has  the  authority  for  such  actim, 
if  in  his  judgment  the  disease  becomes  or  threatens  to  become  prevalent. 

In  accordance  with  instructions  of  the  Board  at  its  Ust  quarterljr  meet- 
ing, arrangements  have  been  made  to  provide  the  Pasteur  treatmoit,  as 
secured  from  the  Public  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service,  for  stud) 
of  the  state's  indigent  as  can  be  properly  treated  at  the  State  Universi^ 
Medical  School, 

In  this  connection  I  would  also  add  that  we  have  laid  in  a  stock  of 
antimoiingitis  serum,  tetanus  antitoxin,  and  ^hoid  and  scarlet  fever 
IxLcterins,  information  of  which  was  publishecf  in  the  Hay  BuufriN. 
The  physicians  of  the  state  have  shown  their  appreciation  of  this  woric 
by  Already  placing  their  orders  for  a  number  of  doses  of  the  various 
serums,  antitoidns  and  bacterins  mentioned. 

It  is  of  special  interest  to  note  that  the  antimeningitla  serum  seemed 
to  have  be«i  instrumeital  in  the  recovery  of  a  case  ot  epidemic  cerebro- 
spinal moiingitis,  as  the  first  case  that  came  down  in  the  family  was 
ntal,  the  second  case  being  in  the  condition  in  which  it  seemed  to  the 
attending  physician  to  be  almost  hopeless;  yet  two  injections  of  the  Flex- 
ner  serum  resulted  in  prompt  recovery  of  Uie  case. 
Railroad  Camps. 

Occasional  cMnplaints  come  to  this  department  from  various  sources 
concerning  the  sanitary  conditions  of  railroad  and  construction  camps. 
Some  time  ago  a  painstaking  investigation  was  made  of  a  large  camp 
at  Erie,  Kan.,  and  a  report  made  to  the  Board.  In  this  case  they  were 
aerving  meals  to  the  railroad  onployees  as  a  part  of  their  compensation, 
and  therefore  the  quality  and  method  of  serving  such  food  supplies 
clearly  came  within  the  provisicme  of  the  food  and  drug  law.  In  the 
matter  of  railroad  camps  that  are  not  thus  being  supplied  with  food  as 
a  part  of  the  compensation,  I  am  somewhat  in  doubt  as  to  the  Board's 
authority  in  the  matter.  It  is  recommended  that  the  matter  be  discussed 
by  the  Board,  and  the  secretary  instructed  as  to  what,  if  any,  proeednre 
in  the  way  of  inveeti^tion  and  bringing  about  better  conditions  in  tiiese 
camps  can  be  done  within  the  limits  of  our  authority. 

Summer  School  for  Phytietana  and  Health  Officers. 

This  evming  the  chancellor  opois  in  a  formal  way  the  first  summer 
school  for  physicians  and  health  officers  ever  hdd  in  Kansas.  It  seems 
to  me  that  this  marks  an  epoch,  not  only  in  the  University  Medical  School, 
but  in  the  sanitary  organisation  of  the  state,  in  an  effort  to  bring  about 
a  coSrdination  and  cooperation  between  the  University  Medical  School 
and  public  health  work  of  the  state,  and,  incidoitally,  bring  this  great 
institution  in  vital  and  practical  touch  and  usefulness  with  the  physicians 
of  the  commonwealth. 

On  Hay  13  the  following  letter  was  sent  to  health  officers: 

"To  County  and  Municipal  Health  Offieera:  ""**  ^^-  ^^l^' 

"The  first  annual  summsr  school  for  health  oiBcers  and  physici^s 

will  be  held  at  the  University  at  Lawrence,  under  the  joint  auspices  of 

the  State  Board  of  Health  and  Medical  Department  of  the  University, 

for  one  week  faeginnine  Monday,  June  12.     For  detailed  announcement

"It  is  suggested  that  the  matter  be  laid  before  your  board  of  health

particular  should  not  permit  you  to  deny  yourself  thia  brief  time  which 
will  be  spent  with  such  pleasure  and  profit. 

"In  addition  to  the  scnool  work,  the  business  of  the  State  Associatioii 
of  Health  Officers  will  be  taken  up,  in  which  matters  of  mutual  interest 
and  importance  will  be  discussed. 

"Doctor,  you  owe  it  to  yourself  to  take  thia  little  vacation,  and  you 
owe  it  to  this  department  to  assist  us  in  making  our  first  annual  school 
for  health  ofllcers  an  unqualified  success. 

"I  would  be  glad  if  you  would  advise  me  between  this  time  and  the 
first  of  June  if  you  ^pect  to  attend. 

Fraternally  yours, 

S.  J.  Crumbine,  Secretary." 

To-day  marks  the  advent  of  tiiree  new  members  of  the  Board  and  three 
new  conferees  of  the  advisory  board,  and  I  am  sure  I  am  expressinK  the 
sentiments  of  the  Board  when  I  extend  to  these  new  members  a  raoet 
cordial  welcome  to  join  with  us  in  carrying  forward  the  work  of  the 
State  Department  of  Health,  I  am  sure  that  our  relations  will  continue 
to  be  in  the  future,  as  they  have  in  the  past,  both  harmonious  and  in- 
teresting and  mutually  helpful,  always  keeping  to  the  fore  those  al- 
truistic principles  which  have  been  the  guiding  star  of  ^e  true  members 
of  our  profession,  namely,  the  greatest  good  to  and  our  best  efforts  in 
the  promotion  of  the  public  welfare. 

At  the  last  annual  meeting  of  the  National  Food  and  Dairy  Depart- 
ments, a  resolution  was  adopted  favoring  the  creation  of  a  standards 
committee  under  the  natiwial  law,  which  would  be  composed  of  state  and 
federal  food  officials,  state  and  federal  chemists,  and  repres^itatives  of 
the  great  commercial  interests.  While  thia  resolution  has  not  yet  became 
efi!ective  under  the  federal  govemm^it,  and  indeed  can  not  until  Congress 
passes  the  necessary  legislation  to  make  it  effective,  yet  Kansas,  with  her 
usual  spirit  of  progressivenees,  has  put  into  practical  effect  the  provisions 
of  this  resolution,  and  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  state  to  appoint 
represwitativcs  of  the  commercial  interests  as  conferees  upon  her  ad- 
visory board;  is  it  any  wonder  that  at  the  recmt  conference  hdd  at 
Washington,  every  new  question  coming  up  for  discussion  was  prefaced 
by  the  question,  What  is  Kansas  doing  in  that  respect?  I  am  sure  that 
the  counsd  and  advice  of  these  gentlemen  will  be  very  hdpful  in  the  m- 
forcement  of  the  food  and  drugs  act

MINUTES  OF  EXTRAORDINARY  SESSION  OF 
STATE  BOARD  OP  HEALTH. 
Held  in  Lawsekce,  June  12,  1911. 

In  accordance  with  the  call  of  the  president  the  State  Board 
of  Health  met  in  extraordinary  session  at  Snow  Hall,  at  the 
University  of  Kansas,  Lawrence,  at  4.30  P.  M.,  on  June  12, 
1911. 

Upon  roll  call  all  of  the  members  of  the  Board  were  present 
and  all  of  the  members  of  the  advisory  board  except  Pro- 
fessor Sayre  and  Professor  Willard,  and  Mr.  Evans  and  Mr. 
Moms  of  the  conferees. 

The  minutes  of  the  last  quarterly  meeting:  were  then  read, 
and  upon  motion  were  approved  and  ordered  placed  on  file. 

Following  this  the  annual  repiirt  of  the  secretary  was  read, 
whereupon  a  discussion  of  the  same  was  entered  into  by  the 
members  of  the  Board,  and  the  recommendations  of  the  secre- 
tary taken  up  with  the  following  results : 

That  the  recommendation  of  the  standardization  of  disin- 
fectants be  referred  to  the  committee  on  food  and  drug  stan- 
dards, to  make  a  report  at  the  next  quarterly  meeting,  in 
September. 

The  recommendation  of  the  secretary  that  we  be  authorized 
to  secure  a  lecturer  for  the  tuberculosis  exhibit  in  the  place 
of  Doctor  Emley,  who  resigned,  was  approved. 

That  the  recommendation  to  request  the  sanitary  live-stock 
commissioaer  to  declare  a  muzzling  upon  all  dogs  in  the  state 
of  Kansas  for  a  period  of  ninety  days  was  unanimously  ap- 
proved. 

After  a  discussion  as  to  what  authority  the  State  Board  of 
Health  had  in  the  matter  of  railroad  camps  that  are  not  sup- 
plying food  as  a  portion  of  their  compensation,  the  attorney 
for  the  board  advised  that  the  matter  be  referred  to  the  local 
boards  of  health  to  operate  under  the  general  nuisance  law. 

The  matter  of  the  operation  of  the  vital  statistics  law  and 
a  consideration  of  the  insufficient  appropriations  made  by  the 
legislature  was  then  taken  up,  and  the  plan  presented  by  the 
secretary  was  approved.  The  plan  was  as  follows :  That  one 
clerk  be  secured  from  the  emergency  fund,  that  one  be  secured 
from  the  tuberculosis  fund,  and  that  the  third  be  provided  for 
by  the  city  clerks  of  the  cities  of  the  first  class,  under  such 
arrangements  as  will  prove  satisfactory  to  said  clerks.

■continued,  to  make  a  final  report  at  the  next  quarterly  meet- 
in^.  It  was  moved  and  unanimously  carried  that  the  minimum 
time  limit  for  the  quarantine  of  epidemic  anterior  pollomy- 
elitia  be  four  weeks  and  that  the  quarantine  be  absolute;  and 
also  that  the  house  or  place  where  such  disease  occurred 
should  be  thoroughly  and  effectively  screened  against  flies. 

The  Board  then  adjourned  for  supper,  to  reconvene  at  nine 
■o'clock  p.  M. 

At  eight  o'clock  Chancellor  Strong  of  the  University  form- 
ally opened  the  first  summer  school  for  physicians  and  health 
-officers  ever  conducted  in  Kansas.  There  were  twenty-eight 
physicians  present  at  this  formal  opening.  Doctor  Sudler 
followed  with  an  address  on  "The  relation  of  the  school  of 
medicine  to  public  health  work."  After  this,  at  nine  P.  M., 
the  State  Board  of  Health  reconvened  in  extra  session,  where- 
upon the  secretary  presented  the  report  of  the  special  in- 
vestigation on  the  so-called  common  or  roller  towel,  which 
report  was  as  follows : 

INVESTIGATION  OF  THE  PUBLIC   TOWEL. 

"On  May  9  and  10  the  hotels  and  other  public  places  of  Topdca, 
Barlingame  and  Emporia  were  visited  for  the  purpose  of  making  an 
investigation  on  the  public  towel. 

"The  resnlts  of  tJiU  investigation  are  given  in  tabulated  form  below:

The  blood  serum  cultures  were  obtained  by  rubbing  a  sterile  platinum 
loop  over  the  surface  of  the  towel  and  then  amearing  the  bacteria  on  the 
platinum  loop  over  the  surface  of  the  blood  serum  culture. 

In  making  the  plate  cultures,  an  emubion  was  made  of  a  small  piece 
of  towel  in  sterile  water,  and  then  the  usual  technique  of  making  plate 
caltures  was  followed.

During  the  time  of  this  experiment  up  to  May  22,  not  one  of  the  pigs 
showed  any  illness. 

Guinea  pig  No.  9  was  inoculated  with  2  cc.  of  an  emulsion  made  from 
a  towel  wnich  was  estimated  to  have  1,831,200  bacteria  to  the  sqnare- 
centimeter. 

On  May  18  and  19  the  hotels  and  other  public  places  of  Ottawa, 
Olathe  and  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  were  visited  for  the  purpose  of  making  ft 
further  investigation  of  the  public  towel. 

The  results  of  this  investigation  are  given  in  tabulated  form  below:

"In  making  this  test,  a  piece  of  towel  one  square  cei)timet«r  was 
transferred  with  sterile  precaatione  to  100  cc.  of  sterile  water.  This  was 
thoroughly  shaken  up,  then  two  drops  transferred  to  a  plate  culture, 
nmngA  sterile  1  cc.  pipette  equivalent  to  33  drops  of  water. 

"The  culture  was  kept  at  a  temperature  of  S8  degrees  Centigrade  for 
48  hra.,  after  which  the  colonies  were  counted,  and  from  this  the  number 
of  bacteria  to  the  square  centimeter  was  eetiniated.

"This  test  waa  made  by  transferring  a  small  piece  of  the  towel,  with 
sterile  precautions,  to  the  tube  containing  the  lactose  bile.  The  formation 
of  gas  in  two  of  the  tubes  is  a  presumptive  test  for  colon  bacillus. 

SUUMARV  DP  RESULTS. 

"The  experiment  on  guinea  pigs  ehowa  that  there  were  no  bacteria  on 
the  towels  used  capable  of  setting  up  an  acute  infection  to  the  guinea 
pigs.  However,  this  test  does  not  prove  much,  for  it  is  well  known  that 
moat  bacteria  pathogenic  to  man  are  destroyed  by  exposure  to  light  and 
drying.  The  greater  danger  therefore  to  man  would  be  in  his  using  the 
towel  immediately  after  some  one  else  had  used  it.  The  above  experi- 
ment  on  guinea  pigB  does  not  exclude  the  possibility  of  them  becoming 
infected  with  tuberculosis  later  on. 

"The  finding  of  numerous  epithelial  celb  in  the  contrifuged  matter 
from  the  towel  shows  that  the  possibilities  of  catching  contagious  dis- 
eases, especially  those  of  the  skin,  by  use  of  the  public  towel  are  very 
Sreat. 

"The  positive  indication  of  Bacillus  coU  being  present  on  two  of  the 
towels  shows  that  the  towels  must  have  been  contaminated  with  fecal 
matter,  and  hence  is  a  danger  signal  and  an  indication  that  it  may  have 
been  accompanied  by  the  typhoid  bacillus. 

"The  work  of  this  investigation  was  carried  on  in  the  bacteriological 
laboratory  of  tjie  Medical  School  at  the  University  of  Kansas,  Lawrence,

adopted  and  ordered  published  in  the  official  state  paper:

REPORT  OF  DOCTOR  GREENFIELD,  STATE  BACTERIOLOGIST. 

"The  following  are  the  examinations  which  have  beat  made  by  m* 
since  July  1,  1910,  until  the  present  time,  June  12,  Iflll: 

Total  number  of  specimens  examined,  2374. 

SpecimoiB  examined  for  tuberculosis,  1531. 

Specimens  examined  for  diphtheria,  44S. 

Specimens  of  blood  tested  for  the  Widsl  reaction,  219. 

Samples  of  water  tested  for  the  Coli  eommuvi*,  187. 

Specimens  examined  for  the  gonoccus,  18. 

Tne  brains  of  13  dogs,  6  squirrels,  2  hogs,  1  calf  and  1  rabbit  wwe 
examined  for  the  Ne^  bodies,  the  organisms  which  are  supposed  to  be 
the  etiological  factor  in  rabies. 

One  specimoi  was  examined  for  cerebrospinal  meningitis. 

Two  rabbits  were  inoculated  with  the  brams  of  dogs. 

Of  the  1531  specimois  of  sputum  examined,  372  showed  tubercle  bociBi. 

Of  the  443  specimens  of  suspected  diphtheria  examined,  140  showed 
the  Klebs-Loeffer  bacillus. 

Of  the  219  specimens  of  blood  tested  for  the  Widal  reactiwi,  92  wen 

Of  the  137  samples  of  water  tested  for  the  baciUos  Coli  eommimu,  62 
were  positive. 

Of  the  18  specjmais  from  suspected  cases  of  gonorrhea,  Y  were  positive. 

"The  negri  bodies  were  found  in  six  cases;  three  or  four  cases  were 
suspicious,  but  diagnosis  not  fully  established.  One  of  the  rubbits  in- 
oculated died  with  typical  symptoms  of  rabies  on  the  23d  day  after  in- 
oculation. The  other  rabbit,  which  was  inoculated  with  the  brain  of  a 
dog  that  had  but  few  symptoms  of  rabies,  is  still  alive  and  well,  18  days 
after  inoculation.  Respectfully  submitted.

REPORT  OF  J.  T.  WILLARD,  FOOD  ANALYST, 
On  Ketehup»  and  Similar  Preparationa. 

"A  considerable  number  of  ketchups  and  similar  preparations  were 
sent  us  for  examination.  The  criteria  for  Judgment  upon  such  articles 
are  not  at  all  well  established.  Of  course  baizoat«  of  soiia  under  tht. 
rulings  of  the  federal  authorities  may  be  used  to  the  extent  of  one-tenth 
of  one  per  c«it.  The  fact  that  otherwise  waste  material  is  used  in  making 
these  products  is  well  known.  It  is  alleged  that  the  use  of  benioate  of 
soda  for  the  preservation  of  stock  until  it  L'an  be  worked  up  facilitates 
the  use  of  material  that  is  more  or  lets  moldy  or  otherwise  decomposed. 

"In  forming  a  judgment  upon  these  articles,  therefore,  the  federal 
authorities  have  made  use  of  the  microscope,  and  r  >jiits  of  OTganisms,  or 
evidences  of  organisms,  present.  The  Bureau  ox  Chemistry  has  issued 
Circular  No.  68,  by  B.  J.  Howard,  chief  of  the  Microchemical  Laboratory, 
the  subject  being  "Tomato  Ketchup  Under  the  Microscope."  In  the  course 
of  the  discussion  the  author  expresses  the  view  that  it  is  feasible  to  keep 
the  number  of  yeasts  and  spores  in  one-sixtieth  of  a  cubic  millimeter 
below  twenty-flve.  Home-made  ketchup  contains  practically  none.  Lab- 
oratory experiments  are  alleged  to  show  that  when  the  number  of  jfeasts 
in  raw  palp  reaches  thirty  to  thirty-flve  in  one-sixtieth  cubic  milhmeter 
the  spoilage  may  frequently  be  detected  by  an  expert  by  odor  or  taste. 

"In  respect  to  bacteria  the  opinion  is  expressed  that  the  bacterial  con- 
tent of  the  final  product  should  be  within  twenty-five  million  per  cubic

cratimeter.  Pulp  previous  to  concentration  should  not  exceed  about  half 
this  number. 

"In  the  Examination  of  the  samples  smt  us  we  are  under  the  hiehest 
obligation  to  Hr.  L.  D.  Bushnell,  of  the  Department  of  Bacteiiologyr 
*rn"»B»  State  Agricultural  Collie,  without  whose  assistance  and  In- 
atruction  it  would  not  have  been  possible  to  do  the  work,  and  indeed 
much  of  the  work  was  done  by  him. 

"Thirty-seven  samples  have  beoi  reported  upon,  and  without  goinff 
into  detail  at  this  time  in  respect  to  them  it  may  be  stated  that  because 
of  excess  of  bacteria  or  excess  of  yeasts  and  spores  only  four  of  the  num- 
ber would  conform  to  the  requiremmits  su^ested  in  the  circular  referred 
to  above. 

"Whether  or  not  the  Board  should  characterize  as  illegal  the  sale  of 
articles  of  this  quality  is  a  d^wtable  question.  It  is  probably  true  tiia,t 
the  beat  way  of  dealing  with  problans  of  this  kind  is  by  the  maintmiance 
of  a  close  system  of  mspection  of  manufacturing  establishments.  This 
should  be  done  under  such  an  organization  that  inspection  by  one  au- 
thority, either  state  or  federal,  should  suffice  to  meet  the  needs  of  all 
other  states  in  respect  to  a  gi\Ba  establishment."

below  standard,  and  many  of  them  very  far  below.  The  work  is  not

has  been  done  by  a  student  in  food  anatysia  as  a  thesis  for  the  master's 
degree.  The  result  is  inconclusive,  and  points  to  further  work  on  prob- 
lems of  exact  analytical  methods.  There  is  a  good  deal  to  indicate,  How- 
ever, that  water  is  or  may  be  a  greater  adulterant  than  starch,  and  that 
until  a  good  deal  more  is  known  about  the  subject  no  action  in  r^ard  to 
Btandarde  should  be  taken. 

"An  investigation  involving  in  part  the  analysis  of  about  thirty  vine- 
gars, made  in  the  food  laboratory  from  Kansas  apples,  for  the  gathering 
of  data  on  known  pure  products.  Vinegar  is  one  of  the  most  largely 
manipulated  food  products,  and  is  often  very  difficult  to  judge.  The  work 
is  being  done  by  a  student  in  food  analysia  as  a  thesis  for  the  master's 
degree,  and  is  not  completed. 

"A  study  of  twenty  honeys  has  been  made  by  a  student  from  Wash- 
bum,  chiefly  in  the  food  laboratory  at  the  University  of  Kansas,  but  also 
some  at  Washburn.  The  results  were  offered  as  a  thesie  for  the  A.  B, 
degree  in  Washburn.  The  honeys  were  taken  upon  the  Kansas  markets 
by  food  inspectors,  and  represented  chiefly  honeys  shipped  in  from  out- 
side the  state,  but  also  some  native  production.  The  results  showed  that 
all  but  two  are  above  suspicion,  and  these  two  will  be  further  examinal.

as  they  are  new,  understandardiied  products  for  which  methods  have  not 
been  worked  out. 

"A  year  ago  a  study  of  the  detenoration  of  baking  powder  with  age 
was  started  by  analyzing  about  forty  brands  and  potting  away  Bamplee 
for  reanalysis  when  they  should  be,  respectively,  one,  two  and  three  yean 
old.  The  second  analyus  should  have  l>een  done  by  March,  1911,  but 
could  not  l>e  undertalcen  on  account  of  the  number  of  routine  sampla 
sent  in  by  inspectors.  It  is  possible  that  the  work  can  be  continued  this 
fail. 

"In  February,  1910,  twaity-two  samples  of  first,  second  and  third 
molasses  were  kindly  secured  by  Sprague,  Warner  ft  Co.,  of  Chicago,  and 

S resetted  to  the  food  laboratory  for  study  for  data  on  such  products. 
>ue  to  pressure  of  routine  work,  these  have  not  beei  analyzed  to  date; 
and  the  information  they  would  have  afforded  has  not  been  available  in 
judging  other  products. 

'^n  many  ways  it  is  constantly  seen  that  investigations  of  greater  or 
less  length  are  needed  in  addition  to  the  routine  examination  of  foods 
sent  in  by  the  inspectors.  This  work  is  absolutely  essential  if  the  routine 
work  is  to  be  done  in  an  intelligent  and  just  manner,  as  new  problems 
are  constantly  arising  and  new  products  appearing  on  the  market.  Un- 
less this  phase  of  the  work  is  duly  recognized  and  provided  for,  the 
routine  state  work  can  not  reach  its  highest  possible  efficiency. 

"It  should  be  pointed  out  in  this  connection  that  unless  a  stenographer- 
clerk  can  be  provided  for  the  food  laboratory  far  at  least  half  time  for 
the  coming  year,  that  the  writer's  time  must  be  increasingly  taken  up 
with  clerical  work  of  many  kinds,  and  less  and  less  of  his  time  left  avail- 
able for  chemical  work.  Present  conditions  constitute  an  uneconomical 
division  of  labor. 

"For  the  rest,  the  work  completed  during  the  last  quarter  is  to  be 
found  in  the  State  Board  of  Health  Bulletin. 

Respectfully,  H.  Louis  Jackson,

"Since  March  1  the  water  analysis  laboratory  has  examined  100 
samples  of  water,  56  of  which  are  present  city  supplies;  the  remainder 
are  principally  proposed  city  supplies;  however,  some  8  or  10  are  private 
supplies,  sent  in  at  the  request  of  county  health  officials. 

"The  water  analysis  laboratory  is  endeavoring  to  make  a  complete 
survey  of  all  of  the  city  supplies  in  the  state,  preparatory  to  making  a 
request  to  the  State  Board  of  Health  for  a  special  order  of  the  Board  to 
be  that  each  city  supply  have  an  analysis  made  once  a  year  for  the  next 
four  years.  These  four  analyses  will  be  made  at  difTerent  times  of  the 
year,  so  that  some  of  the  characteristic  variations  of  the  supplies  may 
be  recorded,  both  for  the  mineral  and  organic  materials  in  tne  water. 
This  data  should  be  in  the  hands  of  the  state  sanitary  engineer,  and  we 
believe  it  would  be  exceptionally  valuable  when  locating  new  supplies  or 
improving  old  ones.

state  ^igineer,  which  ia  as  follows : 

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  ENGINEER  OP  THE 
STATE  BOARD  OP  HEALTH, 
The  work  of  the  engineering  office  for  the  past  year  has  been  approx- 
imately the  same  as  that  of  the  year  preceding,  though  the  volume  of 
work  attended  to  has  been  somewhat  greater.  The  addition  of  Mr,  Veatch 
to  the  oflice  on  the  first  CFf  September  baa  made  it  possible  to  meet  the 
added  demands  made  upon  as. 

WATER  AKD   SEWAGE  PURIFICATION  PLANTS, 

We  have  tried  this  year  to  put  into  effect  a  plan  that  has  long  been 
in  mind  looking  toward  a  certain  degree  of  control  by  the  State  Board  of 
Health  over  the  operation  and  maintenance  of  water  and  sewage  pnrifica-

tion  plants.  There  are  forty-four  wat«r  supplies  in  the  state  usinR  water 
from  surface  sources.  Of  these,  twenty-five  supplies  are  purified  ia 
aome  degree  before  being  delivered  into  the  mains.  Many  of  these  purifi- 
cation plants  are  capable  of  furnishing  better  water  than  :h  secured  from 
them,  provided  they  are  better  operat«d.  We  have  met  alraast  unifoiinly 
a  deaire  on  the  part  of  the  city  officials  for  some  plan  of  cooperatiiHi  by 
which  the  city  could  be  furnished  systematically  with  expert  advice  wiUi 
relation  to  the  operation  of  its  purification  plant.  It  is  evident  that  it 
would  be  very  desirable  indeed,  from  the  standpoint  of  the  Board,  if  tiiis 
relationahip  were  such  that  eystematic  and  regular  reports  concerning  the 
operation  of  all  these  plants  could  be  provided  for  in  connection  with  a 
system  of  inspection  by  the  Board. 

The  same  condition,  in  general,  exista  with  respect  to  sewage  purifica- 
tion plants,  of  which  the  number  in  the  state  is  at  present  between  forty 
and  fifty.  About  a  dozen  more  are  now  under  ccHitract  or  will  be  built 
within  the  next  year.  Our  experience  with  sewage  disposal  plants  indi- 
cates that  there  ia  great  need  for  a  readjustment  of  our  ideas  concerning 
them.  Practically  all  our  Kansas  plants  are  equipped  with  automatic 
devices,  whereby  the  proper  distribution  of  the  sewage  is  maintained  and 
the  regularly  intermittent  dosing  of  the  filters  is  secured.  The  tendency 
of  the  city  officials  charged  with  the  care  of  the  sewage  system  is  to 
neglect  entirely  to  look  after  the  disposal  plant  until  something  goes 
wrong.  Even  when  it  is  thus  called  to  their  attention,  its  needs  oftent&nes 
receive  only  scant  courtesy.  A  sewage  disposal  plant,  unlike  a  water 
purification  or  an  electric  lighting  plant,  brings  in  no  revenue,  and  conse- 
quently whatever  attention  it  receives  is  oftentimes  grudgingly  givoi, 
and  then  only  from  the  pressure  of  dire  necessity. 

It  has  been  our  wish  to  make  systematic  inspections  of  all  water  and 
sewage  purification  plants  in  the  state  as  frequently  as  there  should  be 
need  for  it,  and  to  advise  with  the  city  officials  regarding  their  operation 
and  maintenance.  The  waterworks  and  sewage  superintendents  would  be 
instructed  in  the  manipulation  of  rapid  methods  of  making  certain  easy 
and  approximate  tests  of  the  character  of  the  work  being  done  by  their 
respective  plants,  and  more  complete  analyaes  and  investiKations  would  te 
made  when  necessary  by  the  water  survey  and  bacteriological  laboratory 
of  the  University.  A  system  of  monthly  reports  to  be  made  to  the 
Board  would  give  us  many  extremely  useful  data  and  would  help  to 
insure  for  the  plants  the  continuous  care  and  attention  they  need.  A 
plan  for  all  this  has  been  pretty  well  worked  out,  but  we  have  so  far  found 
it  impossible  to  put  it  into  effect  on  account  of  lack  of  time.  We  are  ex- 
pecting to  begin  this  work,  however,  during  the  coming  summer. 

DROUTH   CONDITIONS. 

The  drouth  of  the  past  twenty-four  or  twenty-five  months  has  been  one 
of  the  most  severe  and  widespread  in  the  history  of  the  state.  It  has 
affected  the  sanitary  situation  in  two  important  respects.     In  the  first 


place  the  long-cohtinued  dry  weather  has  resulted  in  the  drying  up  of 
many  of  the  smaller  streams  and  in  Kreatly  decreasing  the  flow  of  all 
streams  of  the  state.     This  extreme  low-water  condition  has  in  many 


places  accentuated  the  nuisance  resulting  from  the  discharge  of  sewage 
and  industrial  wastes  inta  the  streams,  in  a  number  of  instances  result- 
ing in  a  very  serious  public  nuisance.  This  condition  has  called  attentioii 
sharply  to  the  need  for  a  careful  investigaticKi  of  the  various  streams  of 
the  state  that  receive  industrial  wastes,  with  a  view  to  limiting  these 
waters  to  an  amount  that  the  stream  can  properly  aasimitate.  Id  the 
second  place,  the  long-continued  drouth  has  resulted  in  such  a  lowering 
of  the  general  ground-water  level  as  to  seriously  affect  many  city  water 
supplies,  particularly  those  from  shallow  wells.  There  are  probably 
fifty  cities  in  the  state  that  have  felt  this  condition  severely,  while  per- 
haps a  ^ird  of  that  number  have  faced  a  serioua  shortage  in  their  supply. 
A  few  supplies  have  failed  entirely,  leaving  the  cities  depending  upon

th«n  without  water.  This  ia  a  condition  serious  fn  the  extreme,  and  should 
call  attention  to  the  importance  of  having  a  ver^  large  margin  of  safely 
in  a  municipal  water  supply. 

SANITABY  SURVEY  OP  NEOSHO  AND  VERDIGRIS  RIVERS. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  piece  of  work  during  the  year  waa  the 
sanitary  survey  of  the  drainage  areas  of  the  Neosho  and  Verdigris  rivers. 
A  preliminary  report  of' this  investigation  was  made  to  the  Board  at 
its  March  meeting,  at  which  time  a  special  committee  was  appointed  by 
the  Board  to  endeavor  to  carry  into  effect  the  recommendations  made  by 
this  report.  This  preliminary  report  was  published  in  the  May  BvhLEntt 
of  the  department.  The  engineering  department  is  continuing  to  gather 
information  concerning  this  problem,  however,  as  it  is  realized  that  this 
is  not  a  matter  that  can  be  settled  all  at  once,  but  that  the  proposed  plan 
of  adjustment  will  require  perhaps  years  for  its  complete  realization. 

SEWERAGE  AND   WATERWORKS  CONSTRUCTION    IN    THE    STATE. 

During  the  early  spring  the  activity  of  the  cities  of  the  state  looking 
toward  the  construction  oi  sewerage  and  waterworks  systems  was  some- 
what lessraed,  in  view  of  the  approaching  city  election.  After  the 
elections  the  activity  in  this  direction  increased  greatly,  as  not  only  was 
the  deferred  work  taken  up  again,  but  in  a  large  number  of  the  smaller 
cities  the  question  of  waterworks  or  sewers  was  an  election  issue  and 
waa  voted  on  favorably.  This  is  particularly  true  with  respect  to  the 
cities  in  the  northwestern  part  of  the  state. 

SEWHIAGE  DATA   AND  REPORTS. 

During  the  past  few  months  the  information  and  data  relating  to 
sewerage  and  sewage  disposal  plants  in  the  state  has  been  worked  over 
and  put  into  more  systematic  form.  Many  of  the  records  of  city  sewage 
disposal  systems  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  Board  were  very  incomplete, 
and  these  have  been  amended  and  brought  up  to  date. 

DETAILED  STATEMENTS  OF  WATGB-SUTPLY  AND  SEWER.\GE  WORK. 

Following  are  brief  statements  of  the  routine  work  of  the  engineering 
department,  with  reference  to  municipal  water  supply  and  sewerage,  and 
the  inve8tigati<m  of  cases  of  stream  pollution  durmg  the  past  year: 
Kansae  City. 

Water  Pueihcation  Plant. — The  new  water  purification  plant  for 
Kansas  City  is  now  nearing  completion.  This  plant  consiste  of  elaborate 
settling  basins,  wherein  the  sediment  of  the  Missouri  river  water  is 
largely  removed  with  the  aid  of  a  chemical  coagulant,  followed  by  a  sys- 
tem of  rapid  sand  filters.  The  whole  plant  has  been  very  carefully  de- 
sigrned  and  is  thoroughly  modem  in  character. 
Topeka. 

Sewer  Extension  and  Changes. — The  construction  of  several  sewer 
(^ctensions  and  new  districts  has  been  authorized  during  the  year.  Also, 
during  November  and  December  consideration  was  given  to  a  change  in 
the  outlet  of  the  main  sewer  of  district  29,  from  the  Kaw  river  to  the 
revised  channel  of  Ward's  creek,  this  change  bein^  asked  for  by  drainage 
district  making  improvements  at  this  point.  This  change  was  approved 
on  condition  that  the  drainage  district  keep  the  channel  of  the  creek  clear 
of  bmsh  and  other  obstructions  between  the  new  sewer  outlet  and  the 
river,  and  that  the  district  assume  responsibility  for  any  local  nuisance 
that  might  be  created  in  this  part  of  the  channel  by  reason  of  the  dis- 
charge of  sewage  into  it. 

CoffeyvilU. 

WAirai  Supply. — During  the  summer  of  last  year  the  city  of  Coffey- 
ville  continued  its  search  for  a  ground-water  supply  in  the  Verdigris 
river  bottoms,  and  came  te  the  conclusion  that  it  would  be  impossible

to  economically  develop  a  sufTicient  supply  of  water  from  wells  or  filter 
galleries  to  meet  the  future  needs  of  the  city.  The  questiixi  of.  «d  im- 
proved water  supply  was  then  dropped  for  the  time  being,  but  lately  has 
been  revived.  The  present  plan  is  to  build  a  thoroughly  modem  and 
efficient  filtration  plant  for  the  purification  of  the  Verdipis  river  water,

Pollution  op  Verdigris  Rivot. — Early  in  November,  at  the  request 
of  Dr.  E.  C.  Wickersham,  the  county  health  officer  of  Hontgi»nery  counts, 
an  investigation  of  the  Verdigris  river  at  Coffeyville  was  made.  As  a 
result  of  this  investigation,  a  report  was  made  to  Doctor  Wickersham, 
reciting  that  the  existing  offcsisive  condition  of  the  pool  in  the  river  at 
The  southern  edge  of  the  city  was  an  unusual  condition  occasioned  by 
the  great  decrease  in  the  flow  of  the  stream;  that  to  cure  the  evil  at  once 
by  arbitrary  means  was  manifestly  impossible,  and  that  even  to  prevent 
its  recurrence  in  the  future,  under  similar  conditions  of  drouth  on  the 
drainage  area  of  the  river,  might  scarcely  be  worth  the  cost;  that  the 
present  condition,  while  offensive  to  the  senses  and  doubtless  in  some 
degree  also  prejudicial  to  health,  was  a  transient  condition  only,  and 
would  pass  with  the  first  flushing  out  of  the  river  pool;  and,  finally,  that 
it  would  be  better  to  put  up  witJi  the  nuisance  danng  the  preset  trying 
period  rather  than  to  force  several  important  industries  to  suspend 
operations.

Sewage  Disposal. — The  matter  of  the  pollution  of  Cow  creek  by  sew- 
age from  Hutchinson  was  investigated  last  summer,  and  was  reported  to 
the  Board  at  its  September  meeting.  At  that  time,  also,  several  mem- 
bers of  the  Board  personally  inspected  the  creek  for  a  short  distance.  As 
a  result,  the  city  of  Hutchinson  was  placed  under  order  by  the  Board  to 
provide  suitable  means  for  the  disposal  of  its  sewage  by  January  1,  1912, 
the  means  to  be  approved  by  your  engineer.  During  May,  your  secretary 
and  engineer  spent  a  day  in  the  city  in  conference  with  Mayor  Vincent, 
Commissioner  Graybill,  and  City  Engineer  McLane,  on  the  sewage  dis- 
posal situation.  So  far  no  definite  plans  have  been  sutoiitted,  but  the 
city  is  at  present  coigaged  in  working  them  out.

Sewage  Disposal. — I  am  glad  to  be  able  to  report  that  the  plans  for 
the  purification  of  the  sewage  of  the  ci^  of  Parsons  have  been  finally 
worked  out  and  agreed  upon,  and  that  the  city  is  now  actively  pushing 
the  construction  work.  The  movement  to  purify  the  sewage  of  the  city 
and  thus  eliminate  the  nuisance  in  Big  and  Little  Labette  creeks  near 
town  was  begun  about  two  years  ago,  as  a  result  of  an  investisation  of 
the  condition  of  these  creeks  by  your  engineer.  At  first  tentative  plans 
were  worked  out  for  a  purification  plant  for  the  east  side  district  aIon& 
It  was  recommended  to  the  city,  however,  that  before  accepting  this 
method,  and  thus  committing  the  city  for  all  time  to  three  or  more 
separate  disposal  plants,  a  careful  investigation  should  be  made  to  see 
if  all  the  sewage  could  not  be  carried  to  a  point  near  tha  junction  of 
the  two  creeks,  about  a  ihile  and  a  half  southeast  of  the  city  limits,  and 
there  purified  in  a  single  large  disposal  plant.  A  careful  survey  by  the 
city  engineer  showed  this  scheme  to  be  possible,  and  new  plans  were  ac- 
cordingly drawn  for  a  large  sewer  to  bring  all  the  sewage  to  this  point 
and  for  a  disposal  plant.    This  plant  is  to  have  a  capacity  of  2,000,000 

fallons  of  sewage  per  day,  and  is  to  consist  of  septic  tanks  and  contact 
Iters,  with  an  auxiliary  pumping  equipment  to  permit  the  plant  to  be 
operated  during  high-water  periods  in  the  creek.  This  plan  involves  the 
abandonment  of  the  present  south  aide  septic  tank,  which  was  originally 
poorly  designed  and  is  now  badly  overworked. 

Upon  representations  made  by  the  city  relative  to  the  very  large  cost

of  the  propoBed  improvonait,  and  showing  that  the  creek  bdow  the 
locati<»  of  the  proposed  plant  travenes  a  wooded  and  farming  countiy 
for  many  miles,  with  no  residences  and  few  roade  near  it,  it  was  agreed 
that  the  city  shoald  at  present  tmild  the  outfall  sewer,  the  four  septic 
tank  units,  and  the  pumping  plant,  and  for  a  time  should  discharge  the 
amtit  tank  effluent  into  uie  creek;  but  that  at  any  time  after  two  years, 
wtaaieTer  the  Board  of  Health  should  determine  that  the  discharge  of 
the  partially  purified  sewage  into  the  creek  had  become  prejudicial  to  the 
public  healtii,  the  city  should  complete  the  plant  by  the  construction  of 
the  contact  fllterB.  Also,  that  the  sludge  bed  for  the  septic  tank  need 
not  be  built  tmtil  it  should  become  necessarv  to  clean  out  the  tank.  The 
realisation  of  this  plan  will  result  in  the  eliminatimi  of  one  of  the  worst 
nuiaancee  in  the  state. 

Laiorenct. 

Typhoid  Fever. — Early  in  October  your  secretary  and  engineer,  in 
company  with  the  local  health  officer,  investigated  what  has  been  reported 
in  the  newspapers  as  a  typhoid  fever  epidemic  in  the  western  part  of 
Lawrence.  We  found  the  situation  was  being  adequately  handled  by  the 
local  authorities,  and  nothing  beyond  a  preliminary  investigation  was  at- 
tempted. This  proved  to  be  not  an  epidemic,  but  three  or  four  cases  that 
had  been  imported  by  laborers,  togettier  with  two  or  possibly  three  cases 
of  secondary  infection.  Two  students  and  one  member  of  the  faculty  of 
the  University  also  had  the  disease  at  the  same  time,  having  brought  it  • 
with  them  from  outside  of  the  city.  The  local  health  officials  took  active 
charge  of  the  situation,  with  the  result  that  no  new  cases  developed. 
Independence. 

Pollution  op  Rock  Creek. — Many  bitter  complainU  regarding  the 
fonl  condition  of  Rock  creek,  in  Montgomery  county,  during  August,  and 
that  the  sewage  from  a  part  of  the  city  of  Independence  and  wastes  from 
an  oil  refinery  and  a  mineral-rubber  plant  were  being  discharged  into  the 
creek  in  such  a  manner  and  under  such  conditions  aa  to  be  prejudicial  to 
the  public  health,  were  reported  to  the  Board  at  its  December  meeting, 
and  an  order  to  the  city  and  each  of  the  manufacturing  companies  was 
iasueS,  looking  toward  the  future  protection  of  the  creek  from  gross 
pollution. 

Wbst  Side  Disposal  Plant. — On  a  number  of  occasions  during  the 
summer  and  fall  of  ISIO  visits  of  inspection  were  made  to  the  disposal 
plant  of  the  west  side  sewer  Ejrstem.  This  plant  consists  of  three  septic 
tank  units  and  eight  contact  filter  beds.  The  effluent  of  the  plant  flows 
into  Rock  creek,  at  the  southwest  comer  of  the  city,  and  complaint  had  * 
been  made  to  the  Board  alleging  the  existence  of  bad  odors  from  both  the 
creek  and  the  plant.  At  that  time  the  plant  had  been  in  operation  only 
a  few  months.  Upon  investigation  it  was  found  that,  owing  to  several 
openings  into  the  sewer  that  had  been  made  by  plumbers  and  a  manu- 
facturing company,  a  very  large  amount  of  rain  water  from  the  surface 
run-off  had  found  its  way  into  the  sewer  during  rain-storms.  This  strong 
flow  of  muddy  water  had  tended  not  only  to  fill  the  septic  tank  with  silt, 
but  had  flushed  the  lighter  sludge  already  deposited  in  the  tank  out  over 
the  surface  of  the  contact  filters.  Thus  both  the  tanks  and  the  filters 
had  become  badly  sludged  up.  In  an  effort  to  clean  the  sludge  beds  the 
septic  tank  effluent  had  been  turned  directly  into  the  creek  for  a  number 
of  days,  resulting  in  the  gross  pollution  of  the  stream. 

It  was  recommended  to  the  city  engineer,  Mr.  A.  D.  Stivers,  who  had 
charge  of  the  plant,  that  he  first  clean  oat  the  septic  tanks,  taking  one 
compartment  at  a  time;  then  that  he  cut  out  of  service  one  group  of  four 
filter  beds,  allow  them  to  drain  and  aerate  thoroughly,  and  clean  the  stone 
by  screming;  then  that  this  group  be  put  back  into  service  and  the  second 
group  be  cleaned  in  like  manner.  City  Engineer  Stivers  suggested  a 
Bushing  out  of  the  channel  of  the  stream  by  a  strong  flow  of  water  from

the  city  mains,  and  this  was  sanctioned,  with  the  additional  recommenda- 
tion that  a  narrow  and  deep  channel  be  dug  to  connect  the  various  pools, 
and  thus  facilitate  the  work. 

The  location  of  this  purification  plant  is  unfortunate,  owing  to  the 
proximity  of  a  nnmber  of  residences,  and  there  is  the  greatest  need  of 
keeping  the  premises  in  a  thoroughly  sanitary  and  attractive  condition. 
Fort  Scott. 

I>ISP0SAL  OP  Wastes  fbom  Syrup  Factory. — In  October,  in  response  to 
complaints  of  a  sericus  nuisance  resulting  from  the  discharge  of  wastes 
from  the  plant  of  the  Fort  Scott  Syrup  and  Manufacturing  Company  into 
a  dry  watercourse  at  the  edge  of  town,  a  preliminary  examination  of  the 
locality  was  made  by  your  secretary  and  engineer.  This  was  followed  by 
a  careful  investigation  of  the  whole  situation  by  Mr.  Veatch,  with  the 
result  that  a  recommendation  was  made  to  the  Board  looking  toward  the 
laying  of  a  sewer  to  the  Marmaton  river  in  which  to  carry  the  manufac- 
tnral  wastes. 

Arkamiu  Citjf. 

Proposed  New  Watfr  Supply.— During  the  summer  and  fall  of  1910 
Arkansas  City  was  again  short  of  water.  The  long-continued  dry  weather 
had  not  only  decreased  the  yield  of  the  present  sources  of  supply,  but  it 
had  also  tended  to  increase  the  consumption.  Unfortunately,  also,  the 
.  city  has  been  operating  its  water  plant  largely  under  a  flat  rate  system 
of  selling  water,  with  the  result  that  the  per  capita  water  consumption 
for  house  purposes  has  been  considerably  above  the  average  of  other  cities 
of  the  same  size.  As  a  result  of  all  these  factors,  it  had  seemed  necessary 
on  a  number  of  occasions  to  supplement  the  normal  supply  of  ground- 
water by  the  addition  of  Arkansas  river  water  from  the  power  canal  that 
flows  past  the  pumping  plant.  This  river  water,  when  so  used,  was  par- 
tially purified  in  an  onergency  Alter,  but  not  to  an  extent  sufficient  lo  in- 
sure its  wholesomeness.  This  method  of  reinforcing  the  regular  supply 
was  locked  upon  with  disfavor  by  the  citizens  themselves,  and  in  August 
it  was  discontinued. 

At  this  time  the  supply  of  ground-water  was  so  short  that  even  with 
atrict  enforcement  of  an  order  against  lawn  sprinkling  it  was  impossible 
to  deliver  water  above  the  first  stories  of  business  buildings  on  some  of 
the  main  streets. 

During  the  fall  the  city  officials  had  investigations  made  and  plans  pre- 
pared for  the  development  of  a  new  supply  of  water  by  means  of  a  filter 
gallery  built  in  a  shallow  deposit  of  sand  and  gravel  along  the  Arkansas 
river,  and  for  extensive  additions  to  the  pumping  equipment  and  distribu- 
tion system.  Your  engineer  on  a  number  of  occasions  met  with  the  city 
officials  and  with  representatives  of  the  commercial  orgsnizationa,  as  well 
as  with  the  designing  engineers  employed  by  the  city,  and  kept  closely  in 
touch  with  what  was  seen  to  be  an  important  but  extremely  difficult  situa- 
tion. The  final  outcome  was  that  at  an  election  in  November  the  proposi- 
tion to  vote  bonds  for  the  improvement  was  defeated. 
Newton. 

Sewerage  and  Sewage  Disposal. — During  the  present  year  the  plan 
inaugurated  two  years  ago  to  give  the  city  of  Newton  an  efficient  and 
comprehensive  system  of  sewerage  and  a  single  plant  has  been  finally 
realized.  The  disposal  plant  is  located  on  Sand  creek,  at  a  point  far  be- 
low town,  and  at  a  considerable  distance  from  any  residences,  present  or 
prospective. 

Several  visits  have  been  made  to  the  plant  during  the  year,  and 
suggestions  and  recommendations  have  been  made  to  the  cit^  <^ciat3 
regarding  the  operation  and  maintenance  of  the  plant.

Emergency  Watee  Supply.— The  protracted  drouth,  together  with 
the  greatly  increased  consumption  due  to  the  growth  of  the  cnty,  resulted 
last  sumnier  in  a  failure  of  the  wells  supplTin?  the  city  of  Wellington 
with  water  to  meet  the  demands  made  upon  them.  Kesort  was  nad 
to  the  old-time  supply  of  impounded  water  in  the  Slate  creek  reservoir, 
and  a  considerable  part  of  the  total  city  supply  was  taken  from  this 
source  during  the  summer.  To  meet  the  emergency  a  plan  for  the  tempo* 
rary  use  of  a  large  well  to  be  sunk  into  a  graTel  bed  near  the  edge  of 
town  was  approved. 

Ckerryvale. 
New  Watbr  Supply. — The  drouth  of  the  summer  of  1910  resulted  in 
the  complete  failure  of  the  impounding  reservoir  supplying  Cherryvale 
with  water.  For  several  months  this  city  was  entirely  without  a  supply, 
except  for  such  small  quantities  as  could  be  secured  from  pools  in  near-by 
creeks  and  pumped  into  the  city  mains  through  tonporary  lines  of  pipe. 
Late  in  the  fall,  bonds  to  the  extent  of  $106,000  were  authorized  at  a 
city  election,  for  the  purpose  of  securing  a  now  supply  from  the  Verdigris 
river.  The  plans  for  this  work  were  at  once  drawn  up  and  a  contract  for 
the  pumping  station  and  six-mile  supply  conduit  was  let,  and  the  construc- 
tion of  this  part  of  the-  system  has  been  carried  to  completion.  It  is  the 
expectation  as  soon  as  this  is  finished  to  begin  to  pump  water  from  the 
river  directly  into  the  city  distribution  system  without  waiting  for  the 
completion  of  the  filter  plant. 

Upon  formal  inquiry  from  the  city  asking  whether  or  not  the  city  would

and  use  the  money  thus  saved  in  other  directions,  the  city  omcials  were 
advised  that  such  mnission  would  not  be  sanctioned  and  that  a  recom- 
mendation to  omit  this  part  of  the  system  would  not  be  made  by  the 
engineering  departoient 

RoaedaU. 
Sewerage. — A  number  of  meetings  have  been  held  with  the  mayor 
and  cooncil  and  other  officials  of  Rosedale,  with  a  view  to  working  out  a 
general  plan  for  the  sewerage  of  the  city.  The  need  for  deciding  upon 
some  general  plan  at  an  early  date  was  brought  about  by  the  preparation 
of  plane  by  the  Board  of  Public  Works  of  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  for  the  diver- 
sion of  Turkey  creek  through  the  Argentine  ridge  and  for  the  completion 
of  the  sewer  system  of  the  0.  K.  creek  drainage  area.  The  consideration 
of  other  questions  at  the  same  time  Iw  the  citizens  of  Rosedale,  notably 
that  of  a  possible  union  with  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  has  made  it  seem  advis- 
able to  defer  decisive  action  upon  the  sewerage  problems;  and  now  it 
appears  as  if  the  matter  has  again  been  indefinitely  postponed.  There 
is  the  greatest  possible  need  for  the  sewering  of  this  city.  It  is  now  by  far 
the  largest  city  in  the  state  without  a  sewer  system. 
Garden  City. 
Sewerage. — In  December  a  visit  was  made  to  Garden  City  at  the  re- 
quest of  the  mayor  and  council,  to  advise  concerning  the  installation  of 
a  sewerage  system.  A  careful  examination  of  the  city  was  made,  and  the 
conditims  uong  the  water  front  below  the  city  with  reference  to  the 
location  of  the  sewer  outlet  were  examined.  Following  this  visit  the 
mayor  and  council  had  preliminary  plans  drawn  up,  but  up  to  the 
present  time  no  further  action  has  been  taken.  There  is  the  greatest 
need  for  sewers  in  Garden  City,  and  a  very  general  demand  for  them.  At 
the  present  time,  Rosedale  and  Garden  City  are  the  largest  cities  m  the 
state  without  sewerage  facilities. 

Improved  Water  Supply.— The  question  of  a  soft  water  supply  for 
Garden  City  from  deep  wells  has  been  again  brought  to  Uie  fore  by  somP 
of  the  citizens  of  the  town  and  has  been  freely  discussed.    Comparativ.

Htrington. 

teWEBAGt— The  past  year  has  witnessed  the  completion  of  a  cMupre- 
hOTsive  and  well-plarmed  sewerage  system  for  the  city  of  Heringtoii. 
The  system  includes  a  septic  tank  installation  in  three  units,  located 
about  a  half  mile  south  of  the  city  limita.  This  system  has  been  completed 
withw  the  past  month. 

New  Watib  Supply.— The  supply  of  soft  water  from  a  ahaUow  weU 
and  mnltration  gallery,  built  over  a  jrear  ago,  has  proved  to  be  inadeqoate 
to  meet  the  growing  needs  of  the  city,  and  it  has  became  necessary  to 
develop  an  additional  snppl^.  There  is  a  considerable  number  of  large 
springs  within  the  city  limits  of  HeringttMi,  probably  a  dozen  of  these 
having  a  dry-weather  yield  of  from  25  to  200  gallons  per  minute  each. 
The  water  from  these  springs  is  only  moderately  hard  and  would  make  an 
acceptable  supply  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  the  city  itself  is  built  all 
around  them.  These  springs  are  fed  by  extensive  systems  of  fissures  in 
the  broken  limestone  strata  of  the  region  and  apparently  gather  their 
supply  from  a  large  area.  The  limestone  lies  near  the  surface  of  the 
ground,  and  this,  together  .with  the  fact  that  it  is  badly  broken  and 
Assured,  makes  it  easy  for  organic  pollution  on  the  surface  of  the  ground 
to  be  carried  directly  to  the  springs.  Since  the  area  surrounding  the 
springs  is  more  or  less  occupied  by  human  habitations,  the  contamination 
■  of  the  water  with  sewage  is  practically  inevitable.  We  have  at  different 
times  made  three  tests  for  Coli  comtnunu  in  two  of  these  springs,  and 
in  each  case  have  demonstrated  the  presence  of  sewage  pollution. 

In  view  of  this,  in  May  of  the  present  year  we  declined  to  approve 
the  use  of  one  of  these  springs  as  a  source  of  additional  water  supply. 
There  is  a  proposition  now  before  the  city  to  vote  bonds  for  the  purpose 
of  developing  a  supply  from  two  sprintre  about  three  miles  west  of  town, 
and  an  election  for  this  purpose  has  been  called. 
HolUm. 

Sewerage. — The  new  sewerage  system  of  the  dty  of  Holton  has  bewi 
slowly  progressing  toward  completion  and  will  be  ready  for  use  in  about 
thirty  days.  The  system  as  planned  was  very  comprehensive,  completely 
covering  the  entire  city.  About  two-thirds  of  this  has  been  built  under 
the  first  contract,  and  it  is  expected  to  extend  the  system  into  the  out- 
lying districts  aa  needed. 

The  system  includes  a  sewage  purification  plant  consisting  of  septic 
tonks  and  contact  filters  of  broken  stone.  This  plant  is  located  be^md 
the  railroad  tracks  northeast  of  town,  and  is  about  a  half  mile  b^ond 
the  citof  limits.

Water  Purification. — Several  visits  have  been  made  to  this  city  and 
considerable  correspondence  has  been  carried  on  relating  to  the  rein- 
forcement and  especially  to  the  purification  of  the  present  city  water 
supply.  Last  fall  the  matter  got  as  far  along  aa  the  discussion  and 
adoption  of  preliminary  plans  for  a  system  of  settling  basins  and  filters, 
but  up  to  the  present  time  no  contracts  have  been  let.  It  is  expected  that 
this  problem  will  be  taken  up  vigoroualy  during  the  coming  year. 

Sewage  Purification. — The  sewage  from  the  entire  city  is  at  present 
discharged  into  a  small  watercourse  just  at  the  city  limits.  This  little 
stream  is  normally  dry  except  immediately  following  rains,  and  the  nui- 
sance created  along  ito  course  by  the  city  sewage  is  offwisive  in  the  ex- 
treme.   During  the  past  two  years  the  desirability  of  making  some  satis-

on  a  number  of  occasiiHis,  thoa^,  so  far,  no  tangible  results  have  been 
secured.  It  is  hoped  that  the  city  will  not  permit  this  nuisance  long  to 
continue. 

Anthony. 

INCBEA8ED  Watbb  Sui^LY.—During  the  drouth  of  last  fall  it  became 
necessary  to  reinforce  by  some  means  the  water  supply  of  the  city  of 
Anthony,  and  plana  were  approved  for  a  new  groop  of  wells  located  in 
the  valley  of  Bluff  creek,  about  a  mile  above  the  preeoit  planL  The 
construction  of  this  new  staticm  was  hurried  througn  to  completion,  and 
an  additional  supply  from  this  source  has  been  in  successful  operation 
since  late  last  fall. 

Humboldt. 

Sewage. — Plans  for  a  comprehensive  sewerage  syston  for  Humboldt 
were  approved  last  fall.  The  cwitract  for  the  work  was  not  let  until 
this  spnng,  however,  bat  the  system  is  now  under  construction.  The 
syston  will  include  a  septic  tank  plant,  by  which  the  sewage  will  be 
partially  purified  before  being  discharged  into  the  Neosho  river. 

The  location  and  plans  of  this  septic  tank  have  been  fixed  with  the 
idea  of  adding  contact  filters  or  sand  filters  a  little  later,  whatever  the 
increase  in  the  volume  of  sewage  or  the  condition  of  the  river  should 
render  such  addition  necessary.  The  completed  disposal  plant  will  be  at 
such  an  elevation  as  to  be  above  the  reach  of  the  floods  in  the  river.

WATBBWORKa^Last  Bummer  the  city  finally  entered  upon  the  long- 
deferred  conatruction  of  a  city  waterworks  system,  the  plans  for  which 
had  been  approved  earlier.  This  system  includes  a  large  impounding 
reservoir  on  the  south  fork  of  Salt  creek,  at  a  point  about  a  mile  south 
of  town,  and  a  purification  plant,  including  settling  basins,  filters  and 
clear  water  well.  This  plant  was  practically  completed  last  fall,  but 
some  minor  defects  in  the  filter  system  have  still  to  be  corrected.  Wh«i 
this  is  done  this  plant  will  be  one  of  the  best  of  its  kind  in  this  part  of 
the  country. 

Burlington, 

SBWBUGE. — During  June  and  July  of  ISIO  the  j)lan3  and  specifications 
for  a  comprehensive  sewerage  system  for  the  city  of  Burlmgton  were 
received  and  approved,  and  an  application  from  the  city  was  filed  for  a 
permit  to  discharge  sewage  into  the  Neosho  river  after  partial  puri- 
fication in  septic  tanks.  The  system  has  Iwen  built  during  the  months  of 
the  past  spring  and  is  now  nearly  ready  for  service. 

Tne  present  construction  includes  a  pumping  plant,  to  be  used  during 
floods  in  the  river  for  the  purpose  of  delivering  the  ^uent  from  the 
septic  tank  into  the  river.  It  is  expected  that  broken  stone  or  sand 
filters  will  be  added  at  some  time  in  the  future,  whenever  their  use  is 
deemed  necessary,  and  that  this  pumping  plant  will  then  be  used  con- 
tinuously to  deliver  the  effluent  from  the  septic  tanks  to  the  filters. 

New  WATQt  Supply. — During  April  and  Hay  of  this  year  plana  have 
been  developed  for  what  promises  to  be  an  excellent  supply  of  ground 
water  from  a  gravel  deposit  on  the  west  bank  of  the  Neostio,  just  above 
the  city  limits.  A  number  of  borings  have  been  made  by  the  city  water- 
works superintendent,  and  plans  have  been  drawn  and  provisionally  ap- 
proved for  the  development  of  a  new  supply  by  means  of  lai^  wells.  It 
IS  expected  that  this  will  replace  the  present  Neosho  river  supply.

Gamett. 

Sewerage. — During  last  summer  plane  and  specifications  were  ap- 
proved for  two  sewerage  systems  for  the  two  topographical  dividoDS  of 
the  city  of  Gamett,  and  early  this  spring  contracts  were  let  for  the  cwn- 
struction  of  the  south  side  or  larger  of  the  two  systems.  £ach  systaa 
includes  a  disposalplant  consisting  of  septic  tanks  and  broken  stone  con- 
tact filters,  the  ^uent  from  each  plant  being  discharged  into  a  dry 
watercourse. 

Several  visits  have  been  made  to  the  city  and  considerRble  corre- 
spondence entered  into  in  relation  to  the  sewerage  problem.  The  pros- 
pect now  seems  fair  for  the  early  realization  of  the  long-deferred  plans 
for  the  complete  sewering  of  the  town. 

Water  Supply. — In  July,  1910,  official  complaint  was  made  to  the 
Board  regarding  the  character  of  the  city  supply,  and  a  thorou^  in- 
vestigation was  made  of  the  conditions  surrounding  the  impoondmg  ol 
this  supply,  the  care  of  the  lake,  and  the  purification  of  the  water 
previous  to  its  delivery  into  the  mains. 

It  was  found  that,  owing  to  the  dry  weather,  the  water  in  the  lake  was 
low,  and  that  a  luxuriant  growth  of  pond  weeds,  mostly  potamogeton,  had 
been  permitted  to  develop  around  the  shallow  margin.  Moreover,  some  of 
the  oily  waste  from  the  engine  raom  had  been  allowed  to  flow  into  the  lake, 
from  which  it  was  drawn  into  the  intake  and  delivered  to  the  filters, 
thereby  producing  an  oil  film  over  the  sand  grains  and  making  it  difficult 
to  properly  clean  the  filters.  In  addition,  the  surroundings  of  the  water 
plant  were  unkempt  and  unsightly. 

As  a  result  of  this  investigation,  an  order  was  recommended,  which  was 
issued  by  the  secretary,  directing  the  city  officials  to  clear  all  vegetation 
from  the  lake  and  to  clean  up  around  the  premises  and  to  put  the  filters 
into  good  working  order  again.  Aleo  to  provide  for  the  proper  disiw^aB 
of  the  wastes  from  the  plant,  and  to  take  such  other  action  as  might  be 
necessary  to  preserve  the  purity  of  the  water.

Additional  Water  Supply. — In  August,  1910,  plans  were  approved 
for  a  large  receiving  well  to  be  built  as  an  addition  to  the  present  water 
supply  plant.  This  new  well  is  to  constitute  a  part  of  an  additicmal 
water  supply  plant,  and  is  to  be  reinforced  by  the  addition  of  tubular 
wells  near  by,  as  the  demand  for  them  arises. 

It  is  expected  that  a  sufficient  quantity  of  water  will  be  developed  from 
ground-water  sources  in  the  neighborhood  to  supply  the  entire  needs  of 
the  city,  thus  making  it  unnecessary  to  draw  upon  the  waters  of  Bluff 

Sabetha. 
Sewerage.— During  July  final  plans  were  received  and  approved  for 

two  sewerage  systems  for  the  two  topographical  divisions  of  the  city, 
each  system  including  a  disposal  plant  consisting  of  septic  tanks  and 
broken  stone  contact  filters.  The  contract  for  both  systems  was  let  later 
in  the  summer  and  the  construction  work  was  completed  by  winter. 

At  the  earnest  solicitation  of  the  mayor  and  council,  the  relocation  of 

one  of  the  disposal  plants  was  sanctioned  at  a  point  much  nearer  town 

than  was  originally  contemplated.    This  change  seems  to  the  city  officials 

to  be  necessary  on  account  of  some  unexpected  right-of-way  difficulties. 

Lyons. 

Sewqiage. — During  the  winter  plans  for  a  sewerage  system  for  the 
city  of  Lyons  were  received,  and  were  approved  after  certain  minor 
modifications.  This  system  is  to  include  a  pumping  plant  by  which  the 
entire  flow  of  sewage  is  to  be  raised  by  means  of  automatic  sewage  lifts 
to  the  level  of  the  disposal  plant,  which  is  to  be  located  south  of  the  city 
limits  on  ground  sloping  toward  a  small  branch  of  Cow  creek.    The  cwn-

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  59 

pressed  air  for  operating  the  sewage  lifts  is  to  come  from  the  pumping 
station  of  the  city  waterworks.  The  disposal  plant  is  to  consist  of  septic 
tanks  and  cont&ct  filters  of  broken  stone,  as  the  effluent  will  be  discharged 
into  a  small  watercourse  which  is  normally  dry  during  a  part  of  the  year. 

No  application  for  permit  has  been  received  from  the  city  and  no  action 

has  been  taken  looking  toward  the  immediate  construi:tion  of  the  system. 

PUiuanton. 

Sewerage. — In  August  plans  were  received  and  approved  for  a  com- 
plete sewerage  system  for  the  city  of  Pleaeanton,  including  a  puritlcation 
plant  consisting  of  septic  tanks  and  broken  stone  contact  filters.  It  was 
the  expectation  that  contracts  for  the  construction  of  this  system  would 
be  awarded  early  this  spring,  but  up  to  the  present  time  no  such  action 
has  been  taken. 

WaTEBWOBKs. — About  eighteen  months  ago,  plans  were  received  and 
approved  for  a  waterworks  system  for  the  city  of  Russell,  including  an 
impounding  reservoir  on  a  small  stream  southeast  of  the  city  and  filtra- 
tion at  that  point.  Later  the  city  expressed  a  wish  to  have  the  purifica- 
tion plant  located  in  town,  and  in  August,  1910,  modified  plans  involving 
this  desired  change  were  received  and  approved.  Constmeticn  work  on 
the  basis  of  the  revised  plans  was  begun  during  the  summer  and  was 
completed  during  the  spring  of  1911. 

There  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  the  new  supply  will  be  thoroughly 
acceptable  and  satisfactory  from  every  standpoint.  The  drainage  area 
of  the  impounding  reservoir  is  a  sparsely  settled  farming  community. 
The  reservoir  itself  is  quite  large,  and  the  length  of  the  storage  period 
will  be  great.  During  the  construction  of  the  dam,  a  very  strong  Haw  of 
underground  water  was  encountered  in  the  sand  and  gravel  overlying  the 
rock,  and  this  underground  stream  will  be  intercepted  and  brought  to  the 
surface  by  the  dam.  In  addition,  the  filtration  plant  is  well  designed  and 
fhculd  be  effective  in  removing  whatever  trace  of  impurities  there  may  be 
in  the  water  from  the  lake.

Additional  Water  Supfly. — In  November  plans  were  received  and  ap- 
proved for  an  additional  well  for  the  reinforcement  of  the  present  city 
-vat«r  supply. 

Smith  Center. 

Water  Supply. — During  the  latter  part  of  July,  1910,  a  visit  was  made 
to  Smith  Center  for  the  purpose  of  looking  over  the  water-supply  situa- 
tion with  the  mayor  and  council  and  county  health  afficer.  On  account  of 
the  long-continued  dry  weather  the  supply  had  become  inadequate  in 
quantity  and  deteriorated  in  quality.  At  this  time  a  general  plan  was 
approved  looking  toward  the  development  of  an  additional  supply  by  the 
conftruction  of  a  filtration  gallery  across  the  water-bearing  stratum  of 
the  little  watercourse  into  which  the  former  well  was  lunk.  After  a 
delay  of  several  months,  plans  for  this  addition  were  perfected  and  were 
Eubmitted  for  approval,  and  the  conEtruction  work  is  now  well  under  way. 
Attoona. 

Waterworks. — Last  summer  plans  were  drawn  up  for  a  new  water- 
works system  for  the  city  of  Altocna,  and  in  August  a  visit  was  made  to 
the  city  to  look  over  the  ground  concerning  several  different  sources  of 
supply.  In  addition,  several  conferences  were  held  with  the  engineers 
designing  the  plant,  in  regard  to  its  location,  protection  from  floods,  and 
the  like.  The  proposition  haa  received  a  temporary  set-back,  but  it  is  the 
expectation  that  the  matter  will  be  revived  shortly.

New  Wateb  Supply.— The  drouth  of  the  past  year  has  rcBuIted  in  the 
almost  complete  failure  of  the  wells  supplying  the  city  of  Augusta  with 
water,  and  the  city  offlcials  have  been  hard  put  to  it  to  kee^  water  in  the 
city  mams  for  fire  protection  purpoaes.  As  a  means  of  accomplishing  this 
latter  purpose  a  temporary  well  was  dug  which  has  yielded  a  sraaU 
amount  of  water,  which,  though  quite  unsuitable  for  domestic  parpoan, 
has  served  to  limit  the  fire  hazard.  Immediately  following  the  spring 
election,  the  new  mayor  and  council  took  up  actively  the  problem  of  de- 
veloping a  new  water  supply.  A  visit  was  made  to  the  city  early  in 
May,  and  after  a  mort  thorough  investigation  advice  was  given  that  tbe 
beat  way  of  solving  tiie  problem  was  to  take  a  supply  frwn  the  Walnut 
nver  and  purify  it  by  means  of  settling  basins  and  filters.  This  plan  was 
adopted,  and  the  city  is  now  craistructing  such  a  plant,  under  the  guidance 
of  its  engineers.  On  account  of  the  fact  that  this  waa  an  emergency 
matter,  the  city  is  building  the  plant  by  day  labor,  and  is  having  plans 
prepared  and  approved  as  the  work  progrefisee,  the  general  scheme  having 
been  sactioned  at  the  start. 

Baldwin. 

SEwaiAOE. — During  the  past  year  the  two  sewer  systems  of  the  ci^ 
have  been  constructed.  Each  of  these  systems  is  provided  with  a  sewage 
disposal  plant  consisting  of  septic  tanks  and  contact  filters  of  broken 
stone,  since  the  small  creeks  into  which  the  effluents  are  to  be  discharged 
are  dry  for  a  part  of  the  year. 

The  completion  of  these  sewerage  systems,  following  upon  the  construc- 
tion of  the  water  plant  laet  year,  places  the  city  of  Baldwin  among  the 
best-improved  small  cities  of  the  state,  from  a  sanitary  standpoint. 
Hanover. 

New  Wateh  Supply. — Late  last  fall  the  (ity  of  Hanover  began  opera- 
tions looking  toward  the  abandonment  of  the  former  ciW  well  on  the  bank 
of  the  Blue  river,  and  the  construction  of  a  new  well  at  a  distance  of 
about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  river  at  a  point  where  the  supply 
would  be  entirely  composed  of  the  normal  ground  water  of  the  valley,  and 
where  the  operation  of  the  plant  would  not  be  interfered  with  by  floods 
in  the  river.  In  connection  with  this,  it  was  proposed  to  set  out  trees 
and  otherwise  to  beautify  the  grounds  around  the  new  well  and  pumping 
station,  thus  improving  the  appearance  of  the  city  plant  and  enhancing 
the  reputation  of  the  supply.  The  plana  for  this  work  were  approved 
during  the  winter  and  the  new  plant  is  now  in  operation, 
Onaga. 

New  Waterworks  Plant,— In  July,  1910,  an  investigation  was  mad* 
of  the  proposed  location  of  a  large  well  to  supply  a  new  city  waterworks 
system.  The  location  which  it  was  desired  to  use  waa  condemned  on 
account  of  an  insanitary  environment  and  because  of  the  great  difficulty 
that  would  be  met  in  preserving  the  wholesomeness  of  the  water  at  this 
point.  Anotiier  location  was  recommended,  and  teat  holes  were  bored  and 
a  satisfactory  supply  developed  at  this  new  point.  Later,  plans  for  tbe 
waterworks  plant  were  examined  and  approved.  This  work  is  now 
under  construction. 

Niekeraon. 

Sewerage. — During  the  summer  of  1910  plans  were  approved  for  a 
sewerage  system  for  the  city  of  Nickcrson.  It  waa  desired  to  build  only 
a  sewer  to  serve  the  high  school  and  a  few  other  buildings  near  by,  but 
since  this  would  require  a  long  pipe  line  to  the  river  it  waa  strMigly 
recommended  to  the  mayor  that  the  city  should  have  plans  drawn  for 
a  comprehensive  systan  of  sewers  sufficient  to  serve  the  entire  city  for 
the  indefinite  future;  then  the  main  sewer  and  one  or  two  laterals  might 
be  built  at  present,  leaving  Uie  remainder  of  the  system  to  be  built  after

the  ci^  had  secured  a  public  water  supply  and  the  construction  of  a 
general  sewerage  system  should  be  demanded.    This  plan  was  followed  out. 

To  provide  for  the  flushing  of  the  newer  lateral,  a  large  flush  tank  was 
built  on  the  schoolhonse  grounds,  to  be  supplied  with  water  by  a  windmill 
and  driven  well  equipment.'  Thus  at  a  small  expense  the  sewer  can  be 
flushed  at  frequent  intervals,  which  will  not  only  prevent  deposits  in  the 
lateral,  but  will  also  minimize  trouble  from  the  same  cause  in  the  mile  and 
a  half  of  sewer  main  between  the  town  and  the  river.

Sewage  Disposal  Plant. — There  have  been  many  complaints  in  the 
past  regarding  the  discharge  of  sewage  from  the  state  imbecile  asylum 
west  of  the  city  of  Winfield  into  Elm  creek.  This  condition  was  investi- 
gated in  November,  1910,  ftt  the  request  of  the  Board  of  Control  of 
the  State  Charitable  Institutions,  and  a  tentative  plan  for  taking  care 
of  the  sewage  from  this  institution  was  Buggest«d  and  an  approximate 
estimate  of  cost  was  made.  In  harmony  wiUi  this,  the  Board  of  Control 
asked  for  and  received  from  the  legislature  an  appropriation  to  construct 
the  sewage  diaposal  plant  recommended.  It  is  the  expectation  that  this 
will  be  built  during  the  coming  summer.

presented  his  resignation,  which  is  as  follows : 

Lawrence,  Kan.,  June  5,  1911. 
To  the  Board  of  Health,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

DEAH  Siks — It  is  with  much  regret  that  circumstances  render  it  neces- 
sary for  me  to  give  up  ray  part  of  the  great  work  the  Board  is  doing 
for  the  people  of  this  state.  The  work  of  the  last  year  has  been  very 
congmial  in  the  association  and  satisfactory  in  results. 

I  wish  to  express  my  appreciation  of  the  conaideration  shown  me  by 
the  members  of  the  Board,  collectively  and  individually,  the  wise  guidance 
of  Doctor  Crumbine  and  the  prompt  and  efficient  coSperation  of  Mr. 
Deacon,  through  whose  help  and  influence  the  State  Exhibit  has  beai 
brought  to  the  appreciative  attention  of  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  million 
people,  with  credit  to  your  Board  and  with  some  bmefit,  at  least,  to 
the  people.  Very  truly  yours,  S.  C.  EHunr.

Two  communications  were  then  read,  which  were  referred 
to  the  committee  on  food  and  drugs  standards,  for  a  report 
at  the  next  quarterly  meeting.  One  was  from  the  Kansas  Car- 
lot  Egg  Shippers'  Association,  presenting  the  following  reso- 
lution : 

Wkbreas,  it  is  detrimental  to  the  interest  of  e^  shippers  and'  con- 
sumers that  cold-Etorag^e  eggs  are  sold  as  fresh  eggs,  both  by  whole- 
salers and  retailers  over  this  state,  he  it  therefore, 

Resolved,  that  the  secretarir  of  this  Association  communicate  with  Dr. 
S.  J.  Crumbine,  secretary  of  U)e  State  Board  of  Health,  urging  the  State 
Board  of  Health  to  take  measures  to  eliminate  this  practice  in  this  state. 

In  referring  this  letter  to  the  committee  on  standards  of 
foods  and  drugs,  it  is  recommended  that  said  conmiittee  pre- 
pare a  rule  which  would  require  tiiat  all  storage  eggs  should 
be  properly  labeled,  declaring  the  fact  that  they  were  storage 
eggs. 

The  other  communication  was  concerning  street  vendors  of 
foods  and  drinks,  as  to  what  requirements,  if  any,  the  Board 
would  insist  should  be  made  in  order  that  the  sanitary  pro- 
visions of  the  food  and  drug  law  should  be  complied  with. 
In  referring  this  communication  to  the  standards  committee 
no  recommendation  was  made. 

The  reports  of  the  special  committees  appointed  to  inspect 
certain  private  schools  of  the  state  were  presented  without 
reading,  and  the  secretary  instructed  to  abstract  these  reports 
for  presentation  at  the  next  quarterly  meeting,  and  that  copies 
of  the  same  should  be  furnished  to  the  heads  of  all  of  the  in- 
stitutions thus  inspected. 

A  communication  was  then  presented  from  President 
Waters  of  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College,  inviting 
the  Board  to  hold  its  next  quarterly  meeting  at  that  institu- 
tion. Upon  motion  the  invitation  was  accepted  and  the  sec- 
retary authorized  to  so  inform  President  Waters. 

The  following  accounts  were  audited  and  allowed :

Sixth  Biennial  Report. 


SECRETARY'S  REPORT. 

THE  FIRST  AND  SECOND  CONSOLIDATED  QUARTERLY  MEET-. 
ING  OF  THE  STATE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 
Held  at  Manhattan,  Kan.,  _Octobeb  20,  21,  1911. 
Mr.  Pretident  and  Metnbera  of  the  State  Board  of  Health: 

On  the  daf  following  the  annual  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of  Health, 
namely,  on  Tuesdajr,  June  13,  1911,  the  firBt  sammer  school  for  physicians 
and  health  officers  was  formally  opened,  and  the  work  b^an  in  the  lab- 
oratories of  the  School  of  Medicine  in  Snow  Hall,  the  school  continuing 
throughout  the  week  with  increasing  interest  and  attendance.  Thirty- 
ei^t  physicians  were  registered,  five  of  whom  were  not  health  officers. 
The  program  as  outlined  in  the  advertising  was  carried  out  in  full,  and  it 
was  the  unanimous  opinion  of  all  who  took  part  in  the  program,  and  of 
those  who  attended  the  school,  that  the  session  was  a  success  and  should 
be  continued  annually  hereafter. 

RABIES. 

In  accordance  with  the  action  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  taken  at 
the  annual  meeting  concerning  the  muzzling  of  dogs  throughout  the  state 
for  tile  prevention  of  rabies,  I  communicated  the  Board's  request  to  Mr. 
J.  H.  Mercer,  state  sanitary  live-stock  conRnissioner,  and  received  the 
following  reply: 

TOPEKA,  June  22,  1911. 
"Dr.  S.  J.  Crumiine,  Statehouse,  Tepeka,  Kan.: 

"Dear  Sir — On  arriving  in  tlie  office  this  date,  I  find  your  letter  of  the 
19th  inst.,  advising  me  of  the  action  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  on 
June  12,  with  reference  to  the  quarantining  of  the  dogs  of  the  state. 

"I  wish  to  advise  that  I  consider  this  impractical,  for  the  reason  that 
it  wonld  be  veiy  expensive  to  this  department  to  maintain  a  state-wide 
quarantine,  and  also  would  be  of  considerable  expense  to  the  different 
counties  in  carrying  out  a  quarantine  provision  of  this  nature. 

"I  think  the  handling  and  controlling  of  infected  dogs  of  communities 
can  be  more  thoroughly  taken  care  of  by  local  quarantines,  the  same  as 
we  handle  outbreaks  of  contagious  diseases  among  other  live  stock  in 
the  state. 

"I  vwish  to  assure  you  that  I  will  take  up  with  any  community  the  ad- 
visability of  quarantining  either  tovmship  or  county,  as  the  conditions 
might  demand,  wherever  I  have  notice  that  rabies  exists.  If  you  will 
supply  me  with  the  information  as  to  where  rabies  exists  at  the  present 
time  I  will  take  charge  of  same  at  once. 

Very  respectfully,  J.  H.  Mercer." 

Subsequently  Mr.  Mercer  was  advised  of  all  locations  where  rabies  in 
animals  existed  and  where  people  were  bitten,  and  in  several  counties,  I 
nndeivtand,  the  commissioner  promulgated  and  established  muzzling 
orders. 

Upon  arrangement  with  Professor  Wm.  K.  Trimble,  of  the  University 
Medical  Hospital  at  Rosedale,  plans  were  devised  whereby  the  indigent 
pstienta  were  treated  who  had  been  bitten  by  suppvedly  rabid  d<^s, 
the  Pasteur  treatment  as  provided  by  the  U.  S.  Public  Health  and  Marine 
HoapKai  Service  being  utilized  for  that  purpose.  Sine*  these  arrange- 
ments were  made  five  patients  have  thus  been  treated.

KOU.EK  TOWZL. 

Aa  early  as  possible  after  the  annual  meeting  publication  was  made 
in  the  c^cial  state  paper  of  the  order  of  the  Board  prohibiting  the  nae  of 
the  common  or  roller  towel  in  hotels,  railway  trains,  railway  stations  and 
public  and  private  schools  on  and  after  September  1,  1911.  Notice  was 
Gent  by  registered  mail  to  all  the  railroads  doing  business  in  this  state, 
and  assurance  of  prompt  compliance  on  the  date  indicated  was  received 
from  most  of  the  railroads.  Circular  letters  were  also  sent  to  the  hot«ls 
ia  the  atate  the  names  and  addresses  of  which  were  available.  Notice 
was  given  to  State  Superintendent  Fairchild,  with  request  that  he, 
through  the  county  superintendents,  give  notice  to  the  various  school 
boards  of  the  state.  Accordinglj^  on  June  23,  Superintendent  Fairchild 
issued  the  following  circular  letter: 

CxTcular  No.  Ul-F. 
-To  COUNTY  Superintendents:  ToratA,  June  23,  1911. 

"My  Dear  County  Superintendent — At  the  r«auest  of  Secretary  Crum- 
hine  1  am  sending  herewith  a  recent  order  relative  to  the  use  of  towels 
in  hotels,  public  and  private  schools,  etc.  This  order  is  in  full  effect  at 
this  time.  As  occasion  offers  kindly  advise  school  boards  and  others 
interested. 
"  'Be  it  Rided  by  the  State  Board  of  Heatth. 

"  'That  the  use  of  the  common  or  roller  towel  in  hotels,  railway  trains, 
railway  stations,  public  and  private  schools  is  prohibited  from  and  after 
September  1,  1911. 

"  'No  person  or  corporation  shall  place,  furnish  or  keep  in  place  in  any 
hotel,  railway  train,  railway  station,  public  or  private  school,  any  towd 
for  the  common  use,  and  no  person  or  corporation  shall  permit  in  such 
place  the  use  of  the  common  towel. 

"  'The  term  "common  towel"  as  used  herein  shall  be  construed  to  mean 
roller  towels  and  towels  intended  or  available  for  common  use  by  more 
than  one  person  without  being  laundered  after  each  such  use.

HEBTINGS  ATTENDED. 

On  June  20  your  secretary  attended  the  meeting  of  the  NatiMuU 
Association  for  tbe  Study  and  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis,  at  Denver,  at 
which  a  most  profitable  day  was  spent  The  two  most  interesting  subjects 
that  were  discussed,  in  my  Judgment,  were  the  relation  of  bovine  tubercu- 
losis, to  human  tuberculosis,  and  the  sociological  study  of  tuberculosis  in 
six  Pennsylvania  cities.  The  latter  subject  has  devdoped  certain  plana 
that  I  desire  to  speak  of  later  in  this  report. 

"  1  June  23  and  24  I  attended  the  Annual  < 
al  with  the  State  and  Territorial  Boarc: 

The  conference  was  well  attended  by  the  central  and  western  states 

and  by  probably  half  of  the  health  officers  of  the  eastern  statea. 
Visite  to  quarantine  Btati<Hi  and  emigrant  island,  with  an  inspection  of 
tbe  methods  of  the  government  in  the  handling  of  the  great  emigrant 
problem  of  the  country,  were  exceedingly  interesting.  Upon  our  return 
to  the  city  from  these  places  we  were  taken  te  the  plague  laboratoriea, 
which  occupy  an  entire  block,  enclosed  by  a  concrete  wall,  in  tbe  weatam 
part  of  the  city,  where  a  most  remarkable  work  is  beii^  done  by  the 
state  of  California  and  the  city  of  San  Francisco  in  conjunetimi  witb  the 
federal  government.  For  more  than  four  years  this  work  haa  been  going 
on  in  the  examination  of  from  1200  to  1500  rats  and  aqnineU  daUy,  in 
order  not  only  to  rid  the  communi^  of  these  rodonta  but  to  And  uiose 
that  are  infected.  There  is  an  effort  now  being  made  to  completely 
surround  the  cities  of  Berkeley,  Oakland  and  San  Francisco  witb  what  ia 
known  as  a  "Squirrel-free  zone,"  to  be  not  less  than  ten  miles  in  width.

iber  of  Bauin  .    

ptagae  infection,  and  during  tne  present  year  three  caws  of  plague  have 
oeeurred  in  the  country  districts  of  California,  due  to  infection  from  the 
ground  squirrel,  the  last  case  having  occnrreid  in  San  Joaquin  county, 
September  18. 

On  June  80  and  July  1  the  National  Conference  of  State  and  Pro- 
Tinci&I  Boards  of  Healw  of  North  America  was  held  at  Los  Angeles  in 
conjunction  with  the  meeting  of  the  American  Medical  Association. 
Your  secretary,  who  was  cbainnan  of  the  c<»nmittee  on  publicity  and 
board  of  health  work,  made  a  report  of  the  methods  utilized  in  Kansas, 
which  report  was  ordered  to  be  printed  in  the  proceedings  of  Uie 
Association. 

TITAL  STATISTICS. 

In  accordance  with  the  instructions  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  the 
law  known  a<  the  vital  statistics  law  was  put  into  actual  operation  in 
August,  and  reports  for  the  half  of  August  and  the  first  week  in  Sep- 
tanber  indicate  that  the  law  is  being  reasonably  well  enforced,  and  in  a 
more  satisfactory  manner  than  was  anticipated.  Much  valuable  data 
has  already  been  secured,  both  from  a  sanitary  and  legal  standpoint, 
and  it  is  believed  that  with  the  craning  months  and  years  the  utili^  of 
this  division  of  the  board  of  health  work  will  grow  in  importance  and 
value. 

FOODS  AND  DRUGS. 

The  divisimi  of  foods  and  drugs,  under  the  assistant  chief  food  and 
drug  inspector,  Mr.  Tilford,  is  doing  a  good  work,  and  reports  that  sani- 
tary conditions  of  places  where  foods  and  drugs  are  prepared  and  sold 
are,  in  a  general  way,  highly  satisfactory  uiroughout  the  state.  A 
number  of  prosecutions  have  been  made  for  keeping  insanitary  places, 
particularly  in  the  case  of  meat  markets  and  slaughterhouses,  and  iieverat 
prosecations  have  been  made  against  dealers  selling  or  offering  for  sale 
eggs  that  were  unfit  for  food. 

The  reports  of  the  large  jobbers  in  eggs  are  to  the  effect  that  the 
general  condition  of  Kansas  eggs  during  the  summer,  notwithstanding 
the  unusual  season  and  the  great  heat,  has  been  greatly  improved  over 
that  of  former  years.  This  satisfactory  condition  is  chiefly  Qie  result  of 
the  candling  order  of  the  Board,  on  which  eggs  are  bought  on  a  "loss  off" 
basis,  and  partly  as  a  result  of  educations  work  amcmg  the  farmers  in 
which  they  are  taught  to  market  their  eggs  more  frequently  in  the  warm 
weather. 

The  following  circular  was  recently  issued  to  the  large  Jobbers,  com- 
mission men  ana  dealers  in  Kansas,  which  is  self-explanatory: 

"ToPEKA,  Kan.,  October  9,  1911. 
"To  Jobbera  and  Dealere  of  Kaneae: 

"The  season  of  the  year  has  arrived  when  it  may  be  expected  that 
green  oranges  will  be  offered  on  the  markets.  Competition  between  the 
Florida  and  California  growers  to  first  supply  the  trade  has  led  to  the 
practice  of  cutting  the  oranges  green,  shipping  to  distributing  points 
where  they  are  put  in  warm  rooms  and  steam»l,  wh'ch  turns  them  a  golden 
or  ripe  color,  when  they  are  offered  for  sale  to  the  local  dealers  and 
through  them  to  the  unsuspecting  public.  Such  processed  oranges  are 
unfit  for  food,  as  they  often  create  acute  stomach  or  bowel  disturbances 
which  sometimes  are  of  a  serious  character.  The  flavor  is  poor  and  the 
pulp  fiber  soon  becomes  woody  and  dry.  The  department  believes  the 
■ale  of  such  products  is  prohibited  under  the  Kansas  food  and  drugs 
law  and  will  contest  the  sale  or  offering  of  such  for  sale  in  this  state, 

"Yoar  attention  is  also  invited  to  the  practice  of  coloring  and  polishing 
nuts,  e^ieciallly  pecan  nuts,  which  seems  to  be  for  the  purpose  of  'hiding 
inferiority'  by  giving  the  windfalls  and  unsound  nut))  the  same  color  as 
the  sound,  full  nnt8>  making  them  'appear  better  than  they  really  are,'   '

and  deceiTing  the  purchaser  therebjr.  The  department  is  of  the  belief 
that  if  nute  were  polished  by  receiving  a  thin  coat  of  paraffin  withont 
color  it  might  not  be  objectionable,  as  such  treatment  seaU  the  porea  of 
the  shell  and  therefore  lengthens  the  life  of  the  nut,  but  the  colorii^  of 
nuts  is  only  for  fraudulent  purposes.  Recent  investigations  have  shown 
that  poisonous  colors  have  in  some  instances  been  used,  all  of  which 
emphasizes  the  necessity  for  prohibiting  the  further  sale  of  colored  nuta 
in  this  state;  you  are,  therefore,  advised  that  the  sale  of  colored  nuts  it

"  'Diluted  Fruit  Jtdeee.  A  diluted  fruit  juice,  such  as  lemonade  and 
orangeade,  is  the  expressed  juice  of  the  fruit  corresponding  to  the  name,

coloring  matter  or  flavor. 

"  'Imitation  Diluted  Fruit  Juices.  An  imitation  diluted  fruit  juice 
is  an  uncolored  solution,  consisting  of  potable  water,  cane  sugar,  and  of 
flavor  and  acidulous  ingredioits  carreaponding  to  the  fruit  imitatad.' 

"Dealers  will  be  held  to  strict  account  frcHn  this  time  on  for  violatitw 
of  the  above  standards  in  the  sale  of  this  class  of  produetsi 

Very  truly  yonrs,  S.  J.  Gruhbine, 

Chief  Food  and  Drug  Itupeetor." 

STANDAKDB  AND  RULES. 

The  committee  on  standards  and  rules  have  met  and  will  submit  thdr 
recommendations  to  the  Board  as  a  committee. 

Recently  the  department^  through  the  assistant  chief  food  and  drug 
inspector,**  filed  complaint  m  the  Sedgwick  county  courts  against  the 
notorious  Professor  Samuels,  prince  of  fakers,  who  manufactures  the  so- 
called  "Prof.  Samuels'  Treatment  Through  the  Eye,"  which  is  composed 
chiefly  of  water,  salt  and  sugar.  This  remarkable  solution  is  used  to 
treat  some  fifteen  or  more  diseases,  among  which  are  taberfulosis  and 
blight's  disease.  The  remedy  is  applied  by  dropping  the  solution  into 
the  eye  after  flrst  having  separated  the  victim  from  his  money.  The 
professor  expects  to  fight  the  case  through  the  court  of  last  resort,  if 
necessary,  and  you  may  be  assured  that  the  food  and  drugs  law  will  be 
as  vigorously  tested  as  to  its  constitutionality,  together  with  the  rules 
and  regulations  of  the  Board,  as  a  shrewd  grafter  and  his  well-paid  at- 
torneys can  devise. 

At  the  Dulath  meeting  of  the  Association  of  State  and  National  Food 
and  Dairy  Departments,  the  report  of  the  committee  on  coSperation,  of 
which  your  secretary  was  chairman,  was  adopted  and  ordered  printed. 
If  the  plan  as  adopted  by  the  Association  is  promulgated  by  the  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture,  it  is  believed  that  one  of  the  greatest  steps  has 
been  taken  toward  uniformity,  cofiperation  and  efficient  enforcement  of 
the  food  and  drugs  laws,  and  which  will  give  more  certain  and  quick 
results  than  have  hitherto  characterized  the  enfrocement  of  these  laws.

Upon  the  request  of  the  secretary,  our  engineer  prepared  an  emergency 
plant  for  the  hypochlorite  treatment  of  domestic  water  supplies,  to  be 
used  in  cases  of  epidemics  of  typhoid  fever  due  to  a  pollnt^  city  water 
supply.  Immediately  upon  its  completion  the  following  circular  lett«r 
was  sent  to  health  ofl^cers:

"The  .periodical  prevalence  of  typhoid  fever  in  certain  cities  using 
surface  or  river  water  as  a  source  of  their  domestic  water  supply  has 
been  a  source  of  continual  concern  to  the  Department  of  Health,  and 
much  thought  and  painstaking  investigation  has  been  given  to  the  possi-

bilities  of  eliminating  or  reducing  to  a  minimum  the  dangers  of  local 
cooimunities  from  typhoid  fever  from  this  source. 

"We  are  therefore  pleased  to  announce  that  our  engineer.  Professor 
Wm.  C.  Head,  has  built  a  portable  plant,  that  can  b«  ahipped  to  any 
place  in  the  state,  and  within  a  few  houra  after  arrival  can  be  put  into 
operatJOd  for  the  purification  of  contaminated  water  by  what  ia  known 
as  the  "hypochlorite  treatment,"  which  has  been  proven  to  be  very  effec- 
tive, yet  leaving  the  water  in  a  pure  and  wholeaome  condition. 

"The  department  will  be  glad  to  respond  to  the  call  of  any  health 
officer,  where  it  is  reasonably  certain  that  typhoid  fever  exists  by  reason 
of  a  polluted  city  water  supply.  The  only  expense  charged  will  be  the 
freight  and  drayage  on  apparatus,  and  the  cost  of  the  hypochlorite  of 
"  '  "'     r  teuly  yours, 

:.  J.  Crumbini:,  M.  D.,  Secretary," 

■  Thus  far  the  plant  has  not  been  called  for,  although  in  one  Kansas 
town  steps  are  being  taken  to  put  in  a  hypochlorite  plant  for  purifying 
the  eit^  water  supply. 

After  several  years'  delay,  the  report  of  Mr.  Horatio  N.  Parker,  as- 
sistant hydrogra^h^r  of  the  U.  S.  Geological  Survey,  who  made  a  surv^ 
of  the  waters  cf^  Kansas  in  conjunction  with  the  State  Board  of  Health, 
has  been  printed  by  the  government  and  is  ready  for  distribution.  It  is 
suggested  that  the  members  of  the  Board  avail  themselves  of  this  report, 
not  only  individually,  but  in  recommending  its  use  wherever  necessary. 

In  compliance  with  the  order  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  the  Na- 
tional Oil  Refinery  at  Coffeyville  has  built,  at  considerable  expense,  a 
plant  for  collecting  their  waste  acids,  thereby  utilizing  them  again  and 
providing  for  proper  disposal  of  the  sludge  and  oil  wastes  from  the  re- 
finery. Thus  a  great  industrial  waste  that  hitherto  was  discharged  into 
the  Verdigris  ri*er,  basely  polluting  the  water  and  hilling  large  numbers 
of  fish,  has  been  effectively  prohibited  by  the  Board's  order.  Similar 
plants  are  being  built  at  hid%pendence  for  the  oil  refinery  and  rubber 
plant  at  that  place. 

The  city  of  El  Dorado  has  thus  far  refused  and  neglected  to  comply 
with  a  former  order  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  to  purify  their  sewage. 
This  fbrmer  order  was  based  upon  the  fact  that  the  city  of  Winfield  se- 
cured its  domestic  water  supply  from  the  Walnut  river,  into  which  the 
sewsge  of  the  city  of  El  Dorado  was  discharged.  Since  that  time  ad- 
ditional reasons  have  arisen  why  the  city  of  El  Dorado  should  be  com- 
Eelled  to  purify  its  sewage,  in  that  the  city  of  Augusta  is  about  to  estab- 
sh  a  city  water  supply,  and  after  having  prosp^ted  in  all  the  near-by 
localities  for  a  ground-water  supply,  has  been  forced  to  go  to  the  Walnut 
river  for  water  that  will  give  them  a  sufficient  quantity  to  meet  all  pur- 
poses. It  therefore  becomes  urgently  necessary  that  the  city  of  El  Do- 
rado be  required  to  purify  its  sewage,  and  it  is  hereby  recommended  that 
the  Board  issue  a  new  order  to  the  city  of  El  Dorado  requiring  them  to 
purify  their  sewage  on  or  before  a  definitely  named  date. 

HOTEL  INSPECTION. 

There  is  nothing  very  interesting  to  report  under  the  division  of  hotel 
inspection,  excepting  to  say  that  the  order  of  the  Board  prohibiting  the 
use  of  the  common  roller  towel  is  being  fairly  well  observed  throughout 
the  state.  Numerous  devices  have  been  resorted  to  by  many  of  the  more 
prominent  hotels  for  evading  the  order,  but  as  fast  as  the  division  locates 
these  places,  they  are  given  to  understand  that  the  roller  towel  is  a  thing 
of  the  past  in  this  state. 

ANTITOXIN   DIVISION. 

The  distribution  of  antitoxins,  serums  and  vaccines  continues,  with  a 
gradual  increase  in  the  utilization  of  these  modem  therapeutic  measures 
by  the  physicians  of  the  state. 

A  large  number  of  anti^phoid  fever  inoculation  treatments  have  beeoj

distributed,  some  eighty-odd  inoculations  having  been  made  at  the  Uni- 
versity recently,  and  offers  have  been  made  by  the  Board  to  fnmidi  ty- 
phoid bacteriuB  free  to  the  other  state  institutions. 

The  splendid  showing  made  of  the  utility  of  antityphoid  inoculation  at 
the  recent  army  maneuvers  in  Texas  seems  to  indicate  that  typhoid  fever 
may  be  effectively  controlled  once  the  general  public  will  take  advantage 
of  securing  immunity  by  this  means,  as  they  have  in  securing  immanity 
from  smallpox.  The  day  seems  to  be  not  far  distant  when  the  control  wF 
typhoid  fever  will  be  fairly  well  in  hand. 

ANTESIOK  POUOMYELITIS. 

Fortunately  for  the  children  of  the  state,  there  have  been  but  a  con- 

Saratively  few  cases  of  anterior  poliomyelitis  occurring  this  season.    On 
uly  12  the  following  circular  letter  was  issued  to  health  officers: 
"To  County  and  Muntctpal  Health  Offleere: 

"At  the  annual  meetmg  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  held  Jane  12, 
1911,  a  regrulation  was  unanimously  adopted  providing  for  an  absolute 
qnarantine  in  all  cases  of  anterior  poliomyelitis  foi  a  period  of  four 
weeks  from  the  beginning  of  the  acute  symptoms  of  the  disease. 

"This  action  was  tak^i  upon  the  request  of  a  joint  committee  of  the 
American  Orthopedic  Association  and  the  American  Pediatric  Society, 
which  was  sent  to  all  state  boards  of  health,  and  which  recommendatioo 
is  as  follows: 

"  'AH  cases  of  infantile  paralysis  should  be  strictly  quarantined, 
sputum,  urine  and  feces  being  disinfected,  and  the  same  ri|pd  pre- 
cautions being  adopted  as  in  scarlet  fever.  This  quarantine  shoold.  In 
the  opinion  of  the  committee,  last  for  four  weeks  in  the  absence  of 
definite  knowledge  as  to  whoi  the  infection  ends.  Children  from  infected 
families  should  not  be  allowed  to  go  to  school  until  the  quarantine  is 
abandoned.  It  would  be  very  desirable  to  adopt  provisional  quarantine 
measures  in  suspicious  cases  in  a  community  where  an  epidemic  pre- 

"It  is  strongly  urged  that  all  cases  be  effectively  screened  against  the 
house-fly.  Reports  of  new  cases  should  be  made  ny  telegraph  or  long- 
distance phone.    Very  truly  yours, 

S.  J.  Crumbine,  H.  D.,  Secretary." 

Up  to  the  present  time  there  have  be«i  but  fourteen  cases  In  the  state 
this  year. 

LEPKOSY. 

Two  cases  of  l^rosy  have  been  discovered  in  Kansas  this  year.  The 
jirst,  the  case  of  a  Mexican  laborer  in  Wichita  j  bein^  an  alien,  there 
was  no  difficulty  in  securinjp  his  deportation  to  his  native  country.  The 
oth^  case  occurred  in  a  citizen  of  this  state,  a  Mrs.  Quint  of  Hays, 
Kan.,  the  diagnosis  being  confirmed  by  a  number  of  bacteriological  ex- 
aminations of  the  tissues  of  the  patient,  as  well  as  the  secretions  frMn 
the  nose.  The  county  board  of  health  of  Ellis  county  has  agreed  to  par- 
«hase  a  small  farm  and  isolate  the  case  in  the  country  on  a  farm,  pro- 
viding a  separate  house  for  the  patient  and  a  near-hy  adjoining  bouse 
for  the  husband  and  two  children.  It  seems  as  if  this  would  be  the 
most  humane  as  well  as  the  most  effective  way  of  sufficiait  isolation,  not 
pnly  for  the  general  public  but  the  family  as  well.  Juqt  to  what  exteot 
there  may  be  other  infected  cases  in  her  family,  or  the  community,  has 
not  as  yet  been  determined,  although  bacteriological  examinations  of  the 
nasal  secretions  of  the  balance  of  the  family  are  negative.  It  is  wdl 
known,  however,  that  the  disease  is  very  slow  in  manifesting  Itself 
clinically,  so  that  it  is  impossible  to  determine  as  to  whether  or  not  there 
are  other  cases  that  are  already  infected. 

It  is  my  purpose  to  keep  very  close  track  of  the  family  for  the  next 
few  years,  and  I  have  arranged  to  take  them  to  the  Universi^  hospital 
for  treatment  upon  the  first  signs  of  infection.     Recent  reports  indicati^

tbt  possibility  of  cure  by  the  use  of  lepra  bacterins  in  early  or  iBcipient 


Nbi  only  has  the  eztoisive  heat  of  the  past  gaminer  givea  rise  to  the 
suspicion  that  Kansas  is  more  or  less  of  a  tropical  country,  but  the  ad- 
vent of  tropical  diseases  has  emphasized  that  suspicion. 

We  have  to  report  that  since  the  last  meeting  of  the  Board  there  hav« 
been  six  cases  of  pellagra  reported  and  two  suspects,  five  of  theee  caau 
having  been  confirmed  by  a  number  of  physicians  who  were  competoit 
to  jui^  of  the  nature  of  the  disease.  Of  this  number  two  have  died  up 
to  the  present  time.  The  first  two  cases  reported  were  from  Oswego,  ana 
after  the  nature  of  the  cases  was  fnlly  determined  I  requested  Profeaaor 
Hunter,  entomologist  of  the  University,  to  make  a  study  of  the  surround!- 
logs  for  the  purpose  of  determining  whether  or  not  the  sand  fly — the  in- 
sect which  Sanbon  declares  is  the  medium  of  dMsemination  of  tbe  diseaae 
— existed  in  that  locality.  Accordingly  Prof.  Hunter,  with  an  aaeistanL 
has  made  a  thorough  investigation  and  has  found  a  large  number  of 
sand  flies,  with  an  extensive  breeding  place  in  a  credi  near  where  th« 
family  live.  Traps  over  these  breeding  places  have  beoi  erected,  and 
experiments  are  tteing  conducted  with  guinea  pigs  and  monkeys  in  order 
to  determine,  if  possible,  what  part,  if  any,  the  sand  fly  plays  in  the  dis- 
senination  of  the  disease.  One  of  the  patioits  in  question  kindly  loans 
her  arm  for  the  purpose  of  presumably  inoculating  the  flies,  which,  in 
turn,  are  placed  in  cages  with  guinea  pigs,  and  more  recently  with 
monkeys.  Controls  are  used,  by  which  the  freshly  hatched  uninoculated 
flies  are  used  in  like  manner.  There  seems  to  be  a  growing  tendentry 
among  investigators  to  discredit  the  Sanbon  theory,  and  to  lean  towards 
tlie  nutritional  theory  of  the  disease,  which  may  either  go  back  to  the 
maize  theory,  or  to  the  more  recent  theory  promulgated  by  a  Georgia 
physician,  in  which  he  accuses  the  saui-diTing  oils,  such  as  cottonseed 
oil  or  the  home  oil  as  used  in  continental  countries,  to  be  the  came  of 
the  nutritional  toxonias  in  which  the  clinical  manifestations  of  pellagra 
are  the  visible  marks. 


The  summer  season  has  brought  to  Topeka  one  of  the  most  serious 
epidonicG  of  smallpox  that  has  visited  the  state  since  the  State  Board 
of  H^th  was  created.  The  disease  first  appeared  on  the  east  side  of 
the  ctt7,  in  the  usual  mild  type  that  has  prevailed  throughout  the  state 
for  so  many  years.  The  first  few  cases  were  diagnospd  as  "chicken  pox" 
by  the  attenifing  physician,  and  thus  no  precautionary  measures  were  in- 
stitoted  to  prevent  exposures  until  large  numbers  wfj-e  exposed  and  the 
disease  b^ian  to  assume  a  more  virulent  type,  when  its  true  nature  was 
discovered.  The  city  board  of  health  took  prompt  and  vigorous  measures 
for  its  suppression,  but  so  many  exposures  had  been  made  among  large 
numbers  of  unvaccinated  people  that  the  result  was  a  widespread 
epid«nic,  confined,  however,  to  the  east  side  of  the  city. 

Altogether  there  have  been  131  cases,  of  which  number  21  died,  mak- 
ing the  mortality  16  per  cent.  At  the  present  time  there  are  five  cases 
reniainins  in  quarantine  at  the  city  detention  hospital;  ail  other  cases, 
so  far  as  known  to  this  department,  having  recovered  and  been  dis- 
dtarged  from  quarantine. 

Smeral  important  medical  facta  worthy  of  record  should  here  be 
noted:  Firet,  of  the  21  who  died,  not  a  single  one  had  ever  been  huc- 
eessfully  vaccinated;  of  the  131  persons  who  had  the  disease,  but  four 
had  ever  been  suceesBfutly  vaccinated;  one  of  these,  a  woman  of  70  years 
had  been  vaccinated  in  her  infancy;  another  had  been  vaccinated  fifty 
years  before,  and  the  two  others  some  thirty-odd  years  before.  In  no  in- 
stance did  any  person  contract  the  disease  where  a  recent  snccessful 
vaccination  had  been  made.  In  several  families  the  only  personescaninE 
in  an  entire  family  was  the  single  vaccinated  person  in  that  family.  Two 
cases  were  reported  in  which  the  patients  had  had  a  mild  attack  of

smallpox  several  j>eara  previously,  which  is  additional  proof  to  liw  aMb- 
ment  your  secretary  has  made  on  a  number  of  occasions,  that  a  recent 
successful  vaccination  will  ^ve  a  more  certain  inununity  from  smallpoi 
tlian  a  mild  form  of  the  disease.  The  writer  has  observed,  during  the 
seven  and  a  half  years  he  has  been  secretary,  a  large  number  of  cases 
wiiere  they  have  had  this  mild  type  of  smallpox  twice  within  frmn  one  to 
four  years,  but  has  never  observed  a  single  case  of  smallpox  in  a  person 
that  had  been  successfully  vaccinated  within  two  years. 

The  city  board  of  health  of  Topeka  deserves  a  great  deal  of  credit  for 
the  vigorous  and  effective  fashion  in  which  they  nave  handled  the  situa- 
tion, which  at  one  time  seemed  to  threaten  the  entire  city.  They  have 
ordered  that  all  school  children  be  required  to  show  a  certificate  for  a 
successful  vaccination  on  and  after  the  23d  of  October,  which  it  is  be- 
lieved is  highly  important,  in  view  of  the  serious  condition  that  has  pre- 
vailed in  the  city  hitherto. 

On  Friday,  October  IS,  I  was  called  to  Winfield  to  assist  in  making  a 
diagnosis  in  an  epidemic  of  some  eruptive  disease  which  the  city  health 
officer  declared  was  chicken  pox  but  t&e  attending  physicians  of  the  dty 
believed  to  be  smallpox.  There  was  no  question  in  establishing  the  fact 
that  it  is  indeed  smallpox.  As  a  considerable  number  of  cases  are  those 
of  school  children  who  had  been  ^ent  from  school  while  ill,  it  is  thought 
wise  to  either  close  the  public  schools  temporarily,  or  t«  require  all  pupils 
to  be  vaccinated  or  to  show  a  certificate  of  successful  vaccination,  else  be 
barred  from  the  schools  temporarily.  Upon  my  suggestion,  the  city  au- 
thorities chose  the  latter  course,  so  that,  banning  on  the  following  Mon- 
day, the  order  was  made  effective,  but  tiie  public  schools  can  continue 
with  those  in  attendance  who  have  taken  the  precaution  to  secure  im- 
munity. 

TUBBBCULOSie. 

Owing  to  our  inability  to  secure  an  opinion  from  the  attorney-general's 
(rffice  concerning  the  use  of  our  tuberculosis  fund,  this  year's  educational 
campaign  has  not  yet  been  inaugurated.  There  remain  but  eight  months 
of  the  current  fiscal  year,  beginning  November  1,  and  I  would  recommend 
to  the  Board  that,  in  addition  to  a  lecturer,  we  secure  some  suitable 
person  for  the  purpose  of  making  a  very  thorough  and  painstaking  in- 
vestigation and  study  of  the  tuberculosis  cases  Mat  exist  in  the  larger 
cities  of  this  state,  including  a  sociological  and  industrial  survey,  in  an 
endeavor  to  determine  the  conditions  that  contribute  to  the  diss«nina- 
tion  of  this  disease  in  that  particular  locality.  It  seems  to  me  that  this 
is  an  exceedingly  important  work,  and  I  was  greatly  imprested  with  the 
report  of  the  sociological  and  industrial  study  of  tuberculosis  in  the  six 
Pennsylvania  cities  to  which  I  alluded  in  the  opening  of  this  report.  I 
therefore  recommend  that  the  Board  authorize  tke  secretary  to  onploy  a 
suitable  person  to  carry  out  this  plan. 

The  advisory  commission  of  the  state  tuberculosis  aanatoriom  is  at 
work  studying  the  question  of  a  suitable  location  for  that  institution.  It 
is  hoped  that  within  another  twelve  months  the  state  may  be  able  to  prw- 
erly  care  for  her  uncared-for  advanced  cases,  and  at  least  afford  tbe 
proper  treatment  and  care  for  a  limited  number  of  incipient  eases. 

The  compulsory  notification  and  registration  of  tuberculosis  law  has 
not  yet  been  as  efficiently  complied  with  as  is  possible,  but  following  the 
policy  of  the  Board  to  gradually,  by  persuasion  and  educational  meuiode, 
bring  about  a  full  compliance  with  the  law  the  following  circular  letter 
was  issued  to  health  officers:

a  circular  letter  to  the  doctors  of  your  jurisdiction,  offering  to  BUppty

means  of  tuberculoais  control.  All  reports  received  by  you  should  be 
immediately  registered,  and  the  original  reports  forwarded  to  this  office 
without  delay. 

"Prophylactic  supplies  will  be  furnished  to  all  r^stered  cases  in 
which  the  tubercle  bacilli  has  been  demonstrated,  when  requisitioned 
upon  the  regular  form. 

"After  the  vital  statistics  law  becomes  operative,  all  deaths  from  tuber- 
culosis will  be  carefully  checked,  and  if  no  report  has  been  made  in  each 
case,  complaint  will  be  filed  witii  the  county  attorney  against  the  phy- 
sician who  failed  to  report  the  same.  There  will  be  no  favors  shown. 
We  are  desperately  in  earnest  in  the  matter.

THE  UNIVERSITY  MEDICAL  HOSPITAL. 

On  next  Monday,  October  23,  the  new  University  Medical  Hospital  at 
Rosedale  will  be  opened  to  receive  patiaits,  in  accordance  with  tne  pro- 
visions of  the  laws  passed  hj  the  fast  legislature^  The  state  and  local 
boards  of  health  have  a  distinct  and  material  connection  with  the  Uni-

sanitary  oraanization  of  the  state  may  be  greatly  strengthened,  and  that 
the  uncared-for  poor  of  the  state  may  be  suitably  provided  with  skilled 
and  up-to-date  care  and  treatment,  and  thus  not  only  a  new  weapon  be 
placed  in  our  bands  for  the  cure  and  previsition  of  disease,  but  the  good 
name  of  our  state  be  preserved,  in  that  proper  provision  has  been  made 
for  tile  care  of  her  unfortunates. 


:  CMOUKA. 

The  condition  during  July  as  to  the  possibility  of  cholera  getting  a 
foothold  in  this  country  was  so  grave  that  I  issued  the  following  circular 
letter  to  county  and  municipal  health  officers: 

"To  County  and  Mxirticipal  Health  Offieera:  "^^^^  ^^'  ^^^^■ 

"For  the  past  year  the  Public  Health  and  Marine  Service  has  takm 
extraordinary  measures  to  prev^t  cholera  from  being  introduced  into 
this  country  from  infected  foreign  ports.  A  number  of  cases  have  de- 
veloped on  shipboard,  and  a  number  of  cases  have  devMoped  in  quar- 
antine. 

"The  possibility  of  the  'bacillus  carriers'  was  recognised,  and  aa  a 
precautionary  measure,  the  Immigration  Service  has  been  sending  im- 
migrant destination  slips  to  the  state  health  officer,  of  all  immigrants 
whose  destination  was  in  his  state,  in  order  that  surveillance  might  be 
exercised  in  all  such  cases.  In  Kansas  these  slips  have  been  sent  to  the 
respective  county  health  officers  with  a  request  that  should  the  immigrant 
show  any  symptoms  of  sickness  that  samples  of  the  feces  be  immediately 
forwarded  to  the  state  laboratory  for  examination  for  the  cholera 
bacillus. 

"At  last  the  expected  has  happened,  and  two  probable  'bacilluB  car- 
riers' have  gone  through  the  quarantine  station,  landed  on  American 
soil,  and  later  developed  the  disease  and  died,  as  indicated  in  the  public 
health  reports  of  July  7,  1911.  .       ,  ,      ,       ^ 

"Some  thirty-odd  cases  have  appeared  in  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  thus

"Poat  Script:  "Monday,  July  17,  1911. 

"Since  writing  the  atxtve,  our  statement  concerning  the  grsYity  of  tie 
cholera  situation  has  been  strikingly  confirmed  by  the  Associated  Press 
reporting  a  death  of  an  American  in  New  York  from  the  disease,  and 
this  morning's  information  is  to  the  eflTect  that  there  are  fifteen  cases 
and  four  suspects  in  Swinburne  Hospital,  New  York. 

"All  this  floes  not  prove  that  cholera  will  appear  in  Kansas,  but  it 
does  indicate  possibilities,  particularly  in  'carrier'  cases. 

"The  people  of  Kansas  are  relying  on  Kansas  health  (rfUcera  to  be  on 
the  alert,  that  we  may  not  be  caught  unawares. 

Very  truly  yours,  S,  J.  Crumbine,  M.  D., 

Secretary." 

On  September  2G  I  received  a  telegram  from  Marion  county  to  the 
effect  that  there  was  a  suspected  case  of  cholera  in  a  recently  arrived 
emigrant  from  an  infected  port.  A  request  to  Washington  by  wire  for 
cholera  agglutinating  serum  somewhat  stirred  the  surgeon -general,  and 
he  immediately  ordered  Dr.  McLaughlin,  past  surgeon  of  the  United 
States  Public  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service,  who  was  temporarily 
located  at  Chicago,  to  report  to  Topeka  at  once.  Dr.  McLaughlin  arrived 
the  following  morning,  and  after  several  days  of  painstaking  bacteriologi- 
cal examination  it  was  concluded  that  the  case  was  not  a  case  of  cholera. 

GENEKAL. 

The  outlook  for  the  future,  so  far  as  the  department's  work  is  con- 
cerned, is  hopeful.  Each  succeeding  year  adds  to  the  amount  es  well  *s 
to  the  kind  of  work  the  department  is  called  upon  to  do.  While  there  have 
been  no  more  preventable  dieeases  prevalent  during  the  past  year  than  is 
commorFy  prevalent,  yet  the  secretary  finds  less  and  less  time  to  devote 
to  epidemiological  work.  Oftentimes  it  is  absolutely  necessary  for  a 
thorough  and  painstaking  investigation  concerning  the  origin  and  dis- 
semination of  certain  infectious  diseases,  particularly  that  of  typhoid 
fever,  where  a  trained  man  might,  with  very  great  profit  to  the  cchh- 
munity,  spend  a  week  or  two  in  such  work,  but  the  Board  is  quite  fully 
aware  of  the  impossibility  of  the  secretary  devoting  such  time  to  this 
important  work.  I  therefore  desire  to  call  the  Board's  attention  to  the 
necessity,  which  has  existed  for  gome  time,  and  which  will  be  more  and 
more  apparent  as  the  days  go  by,  of  having  as  a  part  of  the  Board's  staff  , 
a  medical  inspector  who  can  devote  his  time  to  this  very  important  and 
necessary  work.  The  leading  and  progressive  state  boards  of  the  country 
have  long  since  had  such  fl  person  on  their  regular  working  force,  and  I 
therefore  recommend  that  the  Kansas  State  Board  of  Health,  by  resolu- 
tion, request  that  the  next  legislature  provide  the  necessary  salary  and 


funds  for  a  trained  physician,  or  sanitarian,  to  cariy  on  this  phase  of  the 
department's  work. 

Respectfully  submitted.  S.  J.  Crumbine,  M.  D„  Secretary.

SECRETARY'S  REPORT. 


THE  THIRD  QUARTERLY  MEETING  OF  THE  STATE 
BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 


On  Monday  night,  November  20,  1911,  in  the  cilj  of  Waehrngton,  Sur- 
geon-goiera)  Wyman  died  after  a  brief  illness.  Doctor  Wjrman  was  a 
attle  past  63  years  of  age;  he  had  been  in  the  Marine  Hospital  Service, 
since  1876,  having  been  surgeon -general  since  1902;  his  funeral  was  held 
in  the  dty  of  St.  Louis,  November  24,  at  which  place  a  representative  of 
this  department,  Dr.  Charles  H.  Lerrigo,  waa  present.  Doctor  Lerrigo 
will  undoubtedly  give  a  personal  report  of  his  missinn.  Doctor  Wyman 
was  a  man  of  strong  personality,  and  under  his  masterful  direction  the 
work  of  the  Public  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service  was  brought  to  a 
high  state  of  efficiency.  Probably  the  most  signal  service  rendered  to  the 
country  through  Doctor  Wyman's  organization  was  the  eradication  of  the 
plague  from  the  Pacific  Coast,  which  was  the  moat  thorough  and  suc- 
cessful that  has  ever  been  made  in  the  history  of  the  world. 

The  surgeon  in  immediate  charge.  Dr.  Robert  Bluo,  has  shown  by  his 
splmdid  services  his  fitness  to  succeed  Doctor  Wyman  as  surgeon-general. 
At  all  events,  the  President  seemed  to  think  so,  aa  it  has  beea  un^cially 
announced  that  Doctor  Blue  would  be  the  n«rt  surgeon-general  of  the 
United  States  Public  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service. 

DIVISION   OF  WATSt  AND  BEWAGE. 

In  accordance  with  the  direction  of  the  Board  at  the  last  quarterly 
meeting,  the  order  to  the  city  of  El  Dorado  was  submitted  to  the  attomejr- 
general  for  his  opinion,  which  has  been  given,  and  is  to  the  effect  that 
the  order  was  not  sufficiently  definite  and  clearly  stated  as  to  insure  a 
successful  prosecution  in  bringing  action  against  the  city.  He  therefore 
recommended  that  a  new  order  t)e  drawn  up  and  passed  upon  bjr  the 
Board  at  this  meeting,  which  will  later  be  presented  under  unfinished 
bnainesa. 

In  this  connecticm,  I  desire  also  to  invite  the  Board's  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  time  set  by  the  Board  in  its  order  given  to  the  city  of 
Hutchins(»i,  wherein  it  was  requested  that  that  city  take  steps  to  insure 
the  purification  of  the  city's  sewage,  or  to  divert  it  from  its  present  out- 
flow into  Cow  creek,  expired  on  January  1,  1912,  and  the  city  has  not 
complied  with  the  order.  It  is  therefore  recommended  that  the  Board 
request  the  attorney-general  to  bring  suit  against  the  city  of  Hutchins(»i 
for  the  aiforcement  of  this  order,  m  accordance  with  the  provisions  of 
.the  law. 

On  November  24,  1911,  the  following  letter  was  sent  to  the  acting 
auif^eon-general,  which  letter  ia  self-explanatory  of  the  subject  matter 
treated: 

"TOPBKA,  KaN„  November  24,  1911.

"Dear  Doctor— Some  time  ago  Hon.  W.  R.  Stubbs,  governor  of  Kan-

State  Board  of  Health,  Prof.  Wm.  C.  Hoad,  the  bacteriologist  of  the 
University,  Prof.  F.  H.  Billings,  and  the  writer,  to  join  with  like  com-

state  Board  of  Heal^. 


to  the  present  time  the  governors  of  these  stateB  have  not  appointed  U 

commisslMiB,  but  the  Kansas  commiasion  believes  that  the  stnd^  shoaU 
be  undertaken  independently  rather  than  have  the  matter  go  hy  default, 
and  therefore  makes  the  request  that  you  duly  detail  a  competent  man  to 
join  with  the  Kansas  commission  in  a  thorough  and  sanitary  study  of 
the  Missouri  river. 

"Kindly  advise  me  at  your  earliest  convoiience  if  our  request  can  be

Very  truly  yours,  S.  J.  Qhimbinb,  H.  D.,  S»eretary." 

To  this  letter  the  following  r^ly  was  receired: 

"Washington,  Noyembor*29,  1911. 
"Dr.  S.  J.  Crumhine  Secretary  State  Board  of  Health,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

"Deab  Doctor — The  bureau  is  in  receipt  of  your  letter  of  the  24th 
instant  relative  to  a  proposed  study  of  the  sanitary  conditions  of  the 
Missouri  river,  and  requesting  the  assignment  of  an  officer  to  coOperste 
with  the  commission  appointed  by  the  governor  of  Kansas  to  undertake 
the  above-mentioned  studies.  It  is  the  desire  to  coSperate  in  matters  of 
this  kind,  since  they  have  an  important  bearing  on  the  spread  of  con- 
tf^ouB  and  infectious  diseases  in  interstate  trafllc.  The  shortness  of 
officers  at  the  pres«it  time  makes  it  necessary  to  inquire  when  it  is 
proposed  to  start  the  investigations  mentioned,  and  whether,  on  account 
of  weather  ccmditions,  the  studies  would  prolrably  not  be  undertaken 
until  the  early  spring. 

"On  receipt  of  a  reply  from  you  the  matter  will  be  further  taken  up 
in  order  to  see  what  can  be  done  to  assist  your  Board.

It  is  expected  that  .as  soon  as  the  weather  becomes  settled  in  tlie 
spring  the  Kansas  commissi(».  Jointly  with  a  representative  of  the  Public 
Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service,  will  undertake  a  sanitvy  sorvoy  of

DIVISION  OP  FOOD  AND  inUOS. 

Under  the  cooperative  agreement  between  the  states  and  betwoen  tfaa 
federal  government  and  tiie  several  states,  the  department  isniad  its 
first  confidential  circular  letter  on  November  9,  1911,  which  was  seDt  to 
all  other  state  food  and  drug  officials  in  the  United  States.  This  letter  ia 
as  follows: 

"Circular  No.  1. 
"State  Board  of  Health,  Division  op  Food  and  Drugs, 
Nownbor  9,  1911. 

"In  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the  committee  on  co- 
operation, the  following  information  is  herewith  submitted: 

"1.  An  extended  investigation  by  Prof.  C.  C.  Young  and  Mr.  N.  P. 
Sherwood,  of  the  water  laboratories  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  at  the 
University  of  Kansas,  on  the  effect  of  certain  bacteria  when  carboiuAed 
under  pressure,  the  same  conditions  prevailing  in  which  soft  drinks  are 
prepared,  discloses  the  fact  that  the  statements  which  have  at  times 
appeared  in  literature  to  the  effect  that  carbon  dioxide  under  pressure 
markedly  reduces  the  number  of  bacteria  in  water  was  not  borne  out  by 
the  experiments  conducted. 

"These  experiments  were  carried  on  with  water  inoculated  with 
BacilUia  typhosus,  Bacilliu  coti  communis  and  Baeilitu  prodigionta,  and 
bottled  with  and  without  syrup  and  flavoring  material,  similar  to  the 
methods  pursued  in  ordinary  sodawater  or  pop-bottling  establish menttt.

after  28  hours,  ofter  80  hours  and  after  244  hours,  and  while  the 
number  of  virulent  bacteria  was  reduced  in  the  longer  periods  of  time, 
yet  rrowine  cultures  were  obtained  from  all  the  botOes  up  to  244  hours. 

"From  these  observations  it  ie  manifest  that  manufacturers  should  not 
depend  upon  contaminated  or  polluted  water  for  the  manufacture  of 
soft  drinks  under  the  supposition  that  the  carbon  dioxide  nnder  prasure 
will  kill  sQch  bacteHa.  Water  used  for  Uie  purpose  should  be  of  known 
purity. 

"2.  At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  the  regulations 
of  the  food  and  drugs  law  were  amended  in  several  important  particulars, 
as  follows; 

"Regulatwn  5,  Paragraph  b.  Proprietary  medicinal  preparations  and 
similar  medicinal  products  are  required  to  conform  in  cmnposition  to  the 
freshly  prepaied  nondeterlorated  article,  and  to  conform  to  the  claims 
made  for  the  preparation  as  to  therapeutic  properties,  quality  and 
strength. 

"Regulation  11,  Paragraph  d.  (New  paragraph.)  In  the  case  of  e^s 
from  cold  storage  of  more  than  two  weeks,  or  which  have  been  packed 
in  any  preserving  substance,  the  wholesale  or  retail  package,  when 
deliverea  to  the  purchaser,  shall  bear  a  label  designating  such  storage  or 
preservation, 

"Regulation  li,  Paragraph  3.  Vinegars  artificially  colored,  or  made 
from  materials  specially  chosen  to  impart  a  color  similar  to  that  of 
cider  vinegar,  are  held  to  be  imitations  of  cider  vinegar,  unless  eaefc 
package,  wholetaie  and  retail,  as  delivered  to  the  pvrchaaer,  is  dis- 
tinctly marked  by  a  label  which  states  the  true  nature  of  the  article. 

"Regulation  15,  Paragraph  e.  Descriptive  matter  upon  tbe  label  shall 
be  free  from  any  statement,  design  or  device  regarding  the  article,  or 
its  therapeutic  properties,  or  the  ingredients  or  stibatanees  contained 
therein,  or  quality  thereof,  or  place  of  origin  which  is  false  or  mis- 
leading in  any  particular.  In  the  case  of  materials  used  in  tbe  prepara- 
tion of  foods  or  medicinal  preparations,  descriptive  matter  upon  the 
label  shall  be  free  from  any  false  or  misleading  statement  in  regard  to 
the  composition  or  ingredients  of  the  food  or  therapeutic  properties  of 
the  medicinal  product. 

"Regulation  36,  Paragraph  S.  An  article  or  substance  which  is 
designated  as  'germicide'  or  'disinfectant'  in  the  state  of  Kansas  will  be

its  use.  If  directions  for  use  are  not  expressly  stated,  those  conditions 
nraally  found  in  living  rooms  will  be  assumed  for  its  application. 

"Tbe  terms  'germicide'  and  'disinfectant'  are  used  interchangeably  to 
mean  substances  that  actually  destroy,  and  not  merely  inhibit  the  growth, 
of  bacteria:

76  State  Board  of  Health. 

On  December  11,  1911,  circular  letter  No.  2  was  iasaed,  which  is  as 
follows: 

"Cireular  No.  S. 

"State  Board  op  Heai.th, 
"To  State  Food  and  Drug  Officials;  Dscember  11,  1911. 

"Inasmuch  as  the  Association  of  State  and  National  Food  and  DaiT7 
Departments  has  on  a  number  of  occasions  recommended  that  the  office 
of  food  and  dru^  control  offlciah  he  retnored  from  politics,  and  that  i^i- 
pointments  for  commissioners  be  based  upon  merit  alone,  the  chairman 
of  the  committee  on  cooperation,  speaking  only  for  himself,  is  of  the 
belief  that  such  action  will  be  more  quickly  and  more  certainty  brou^t 
about  by  each  commiEsioner  first  taking  his  own  department  out  of 
politics  and  having  the  appointments  of  inspectors  made  on  a  basis  of 
merit  rather  than  on  political  faith. 

"The  division  of  food  and  drugs  of  the  Kansas  State  Board  of  Health 
some  time  ago  recognized  this  principle,  and  recently  held  an  examina- 
tion to  fill  a  vacancy  in  the  drug-inspection  force.  Believing  this  to  be  in 
the  nature  of  advanced  legislation,  and  the  practical  way  to  bring  about 
the  elimination  of  politics  from  the  food  and  drug  control  work,  the 
examination  questions  used  at  the  recent  examination  are  herewith  sub- 
mitted for  the  information  of  comimissionerB. 

"It  might  be  of  interest  to  add  that  out  of  the  eight  applicants  two 
made  a  passing  grade  of  70.  The  highest-grade  man  is  appointed  and 
the  other  one  passing  is  put  on  the  elegible  list  for  appointment  within 
one  year  should  a  vacancy  occur.  After  this  time  new  examinations  are 
required.  Respectfully  submitted. 

S.  J.  Cruubine,  M.  D.,  Chairman." 

Many  letters  of  appreciation  have  been  received  from  other  state 
food  and  drug  control  officials,  and  it  is  believed  that  the  committee's 
plan  will  prove  most  valuable. 

The  examination  for  filling  the  vacancy  of  drug  inspector  was  held  in 
the  office  of  the  Secretary  on  December  1  and  2.  The  following  call  was 
published  in  the  daily  press,  which  constituted  the  notice  to  applicants: 

"Examination  for  State  Drug  Inopsetor. 

"The  Kansas  food  and  drugs  law  requires  that  ap^mintments  of  food 
and  drug  inspectors  shall  be  based  upon  a  competitive  examination. 
There  bemg  a  vacancy  in  the  drug-inspection  force,  an  examination  will 
therefore  be  held  for  the  position  of  drug  inspector  i>n  Deconber  1  and  2 
at  the  office  of  the  secretary  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  in  Topeka. 

"Candidates  for  the  examination  should  forward  their  names  and 
addresses  to  the  secretary,  Dr.  S.  J.  Cnimbine,  Topeka,  Kan.,  stating 
their  experience  in  drug  work,  if  graduates  of  any  school  of  phannaey, 
from  what  school  and  the  date  of  graduation,  and  such  personal  nttx- 
ences  as  to  their  character  and  abiliQr  as  thqr  desire  to  present. 

"The  age  limit  for  this  position  is  confined  to  ages  between  26  and 

"The  appointment  to  this  position  will  be  made  by  the  State  Board  of 
Health  and  selection  made  from  among  those  who  pass  the  examination.

ber II.  1911: 

"'Regulation  11  {d).  In  the  case  of  eggs  from  cold  storage  of  more 
than  two  weeks,  or  whicli  have  been  packed  in  any  preserving  substance, 
the  wholesale  or  retail  package,  when  delivered'  to  the  purchaser,  shall 
bear  a  label  designating  such  storage  or  preservation.' 

"The  attention  of  the  department  has  been  called  to  the  fact  that  dur- 
ing this  time  of  the  year  a  large  number  of  eggs  are  'held'  but  are  not 
kept  in  cold  storage,  and  a  proper  label  for  such  goods  is  requested.  A 
tentative  regulation  is  therefore  made,  'that  such  eggs,  held  under  proper 
eonditions  of  stor^e  and  temperature  for  more  than  two  weeks  during

the  months  of  December,  January  and  Februaiy,  shall  be  I&beled  on  both 
the  wholesale  and  retail  packages,  as  'held  egge.'  Eggs  that  are  held 
at  any  other  seaEon  of  the  year  would  be  subject  to  the  same  rules  of 
candling  and  'loss  off'  as  current- receipt  eggs  are  held. 

"This  is  to  advise  you  that  the  above  regulations  are  effective  at  this 
dat«.  Yours  very  truly,  S.  J.  Cbuhbine,  M.  D., 

Chief  Food  and  Drug  Inapeetor." 

It  appears  to  be  the  unanimous  expression  of  egg  dealers  that  the 
condition  of  the  Kanaaa  egg  the  past  season,  notwithstanding  the  intense 
heat  of  the  midsummer,  has  been  better  than  at  any  other  season  in  our 
experience,  all  of  which  seems  to  justify  the  action  of  the  Board  in  re- 
quiring eggs  to  be  candled,  and  lends  encouragement  to  the  belief  that 
we  are  on  the  right  road  to  eventually  solving  in  a  sane  and  fairly 
effective  fashion  the  problem  of  the  rotten  egg. 

The  long-continued  cold  weather  of  December  and  early  January  has 
made  an  abundant  ice  crop  throughout  the  state,  and  letters  have  come  to 
the  department  in  great  numbers  asking  our  opinion  as  to  whether  or 
not  ice  could  be  harvested  from  rivers,  creeks  and  ponds  to  be  used  for 
the  refrigerating  of  food  products.  On  the  other  hand,  many  letters  of 
complaint  and  opposition  have  been  received,  opposing  the  storage  and 
use  of  ice  from  supposedly  polluted  water.  The  department's  decision 
in  this  matter  ia  based  upon  the  experiments  conducted  by  Park  on  the 
Croton  aqaeduct  water  and  the  New  York  State  Board  of  Health  on  the 
Hudson  river  water- — which  experiments  seemed  to  be  practically  in 
agreement — to  the  effect  that  polluted  water,  after  it  has  been  frozen  for 
three  months  or  over,  is  esBentially  sterile.  The  New  York  State  Board, 
using  their  own  experiments  as  a  basis  of  regulation,  has  added  a  month 
to  the  period  of  storage  as  a  margin  of  safety,  after  which  they  permit 
the  use  of  the  Hudson  river  water  which  has  beoi  harvested  below  the  ' 
city  of  Albany  and  contains  untreated  sewage  from  that  city,  but  the  ice 
from  which  has  been  shown  to  be  sterile  after  three  months'  freezing. 
It  may  be  of  interest  to  quote  from'  Park's  experiments  as  follows: 

"In  these  experiments  21  flasks  were  filled  from  the  Croton  aqueduct 
(in  New  York)  and  each  inoculated  with  a  different  strain  of  typhoid 
bacilli.  In  one  a  little  of  the  feces  rich  in  typhoid  were  directly  added. 
The  infected  water  in  each  flask  was  then  pipett«d  into  thirty  tubes. 
These  tubes  were  placed  in  a  cold-storage  room  in  which  the  temperature 
varied  between  20°  and  28°  F.  At  tirst  tubes  were  removed  and  tested 
twice  a  week,  later  once  a  week.  At  th->  end  of  Ave  weeks,  water  infected 
with  six  cultures  was  sterile.  At  the  end  of  sixteen  weeks  only  six  strains 
remained  alive.  His  figures  are:  After  5  weeks,  0.1  per  cent  alive;  after 
9  weeks,  0.005  per  cent;  after  16  weeks,  0.004  per  cent;  after  22  weeks, 
none  alive." 

Some  time  ago  I  asked  Mr.  Deem,  our  drug  inspector,  as  to  whether  or 
not  the  sale  of  the  acetanilid  compounds,  such  as  headache  preparations, 
bromoselser,  etc.,  was  increasing  in  the  state  to  such  an  extent  as  would 
lead  one  to  believe  that  many  people  are  forming  the  acetanilid  habit 
His  report  is  to  the  effect  that  there  has  been  a  marked  increase  in  the 
sale  of  these  products  pretty  generally  throughout  Uie  state  during  the 
past  few  years,  and  that  many  druggists  do  not  hesitate  to  offer  the , 
opinion  that  they  have  customers  who  buy  these  preparations  with 
great  regularity  and  in  such  amounts  as  to  lead  to  the  undoubted  con- 
clusion that  they  are  addicted  to  the  acetanilid  habit.  This  impels  me 
to  venture  a  recommendation  that  a  committee  of  the  Board  be  appointed  - 
to  make  further  investigation  of  this  subject  and  to  report  their  findings 
at  a  subsequent  meeting  of  the  Board,  together  with  a  recommendation 
for  such  legislation  as  the  condition  would  seem  to  warrant.  So  far  as 
your  secretary  is  concerned,  he  is  now  led  to  make  a  recommendation 
that  the  sale  of  acetanilid  be  restricted  to  physicians'  prescriptions,  the 
some  as  is  required  in  the  sale  of  cocaine  or  morphine.

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  79 

The  latter  part  of  October  the  Board  of  Food  and  Drug  Inspection 
at  Washington  submitted  tentative  food  inspection  decisions  on  vinegar 
and  maraschino  cherries,  requesting  tiie  department's  opinion  concerning 
die  proposed  decisions.  After  consultation  with'the  standards  comniittee, 
the  following  letter  was  sent  to  the  Board  expressing  the  views  of  this 
department : 

"ToPEKA,  Kan.,  November  13,  1911. 
"Dr.  Harvey  W.  WiUy,  Chairman,  Board  of  Food  and  Drug  /jwpectwm, 
Waehtttgton,  D.  C: 

"Dear  Doctor  Wiley — I  am  inclosing  herewith  f^omments  of  Professor 
Bailey,  food  anBlyst  for  the  State  Board  of  Health  at  Kansas  Univer- 
sity, Lawrence,  also  a  letter  from  Professor  Willard,  food  analyst  for 
the  State  Board  of  Health,  Agricultural  College,  Manhattan,  relative  to 
the  proposed  standards  on  maraschino  cherries  and  vinegar. 

"You  will  notice  that  they  are  both  in  accord  with  the  standard  for    ' 
maraachino  cherries. 

"I  desire  to  say  that  I  agree  with  both  Professor  Bailey  and  Pro- 
fessor Willard  in  their  objections  offered  to  the  dilution  of  vine^rs  and, 
for  my  own  part,  I  disagree  with  the  proposed  standard  on  imitation 
vinegar  which  permits  such  vinegar  to  consist  in  whole  or  in  part  of 
dilute  acetic  acid,  with  added  coloring  and  flavoring. 

"I  am  also  in  further  agreement  with  the  food  analysts  in  voicing 
the  sentiment  that  Kansas  will  not  join  the  federal  government  in  its 
proposied  standards  on  vinegars  if  Idiey  are  adopted  as  herewith  pre- 
sented. We  very  much  desire  to  have  our  standards  and  our  regulations 
in  uniformity  with  the  government's,  but  we  are  of  the  opinion  that  we 
can  not  consistently,  in  view  of  the  nature  of  our  laws  on  the  subject, 
go  as  far  as  the  proposed  standards  would  go.  It  seems  to  me  an  ex- 
ceedingly dangerous  proposition  to  open  up  the  doors  on  dilute  vinegars, 
for  in  my  judsmoit  it  would  mean  the  practical  ruination  of  the  apple 
cider  vinegar  business,  at  least  so  far  as  the  farmer's  product  is  con- 
cerned, as  competition  would  probably  force  the  dilution  of  apple  cider 
vinegars  with  the  commercially  cheaper  although  equally  meritorious 
protect  of  distilled  vinegar,  which  could  be  sold  at  such  a  low  price  as 
to  make  the  manufacture  of  apple  cider  vinegar  commercially  unprofit- 
able. Very  truly  yours,  S.  J.  Crumbine,  M.  D., 

Chief  Food  atid  Drug  Injector." 

On  December  2  the  following  letter  was  sent  to  the  manufacturers  of 
mincemeat  in   Kansas: 

"Topeka,  Kan.,  Dec^nber  2,  1911. 

"Gentlemen — Tentative  standards  on  mincemeat  have  been  sulnnitted 
to  this  department  by  the  government  with  request  that  any  sunes- 
ticns  which  might  differ  from  the  contemplated  eovemment  standards 
should  be  snbinitted  with  briefs  in  support  of  such  differencea. 

"Inasmuch  as  the  manufacture  of  mincemeat  is  a  large  industry  in 
Kansas,  Uie  department  would  be  glad  to  hold  a  hearing  on  the  subject 
onder  the  supervision  of  the  committee  on  standards  of  the  division  of 
food  and  drugs,  which  will  be  held  in  the  office  of  the  chief  food  and 
drug  inspector  at  Topeka  on  December  8,  at  10  A.  M. 

"It  is  the  desire  of  the  department  to  follow  as  nearly  as  possible  the 
federal  governm«it  in  the  matter  of  food  standards,  which  will  be  done 
in  fjiis  case  unless  there  are  sufficient  reasons  to  the  contrary  that  would 
justify  the  Kansas  department  in  making  different  standards.

Mr.  Floyd  Tilford,  the  assistant  chief  food  and  drug  inspector,  will 

S've  a  detailed  report  of  the  operation  of  the  division  of  foods  and  drugs

work,  and  I  feeT  that  the  ^ciency  the  department  has  attained  ia  a 
matter  of  congratulation  to  the  State  Board  of  Health. 

DIVISION  OF  VITAL  STATISTICS. 

On  January  10  the  following  confidential  circular  letter  was  sent  to 
certain  selected  men  and  women  of  the  state,  which  letter  is  self- 
explanatory  : 

Pmoii.1  .Dd  WDfldeDtiiO-  "JANDAKY  10,  1»12. 

Dear  Sir — Through  the  operation  of  the  vital  statistics  law  some  very 
valuable  information  is  being  collected  and  some  very  startling  sociologi- 
cal facts  presented,  which  hitherto  were  unknown  or  only  suspected. 

"The  State  Department  of  Health  ia  desirous  of  utilizing  this  data 
in  such  a  way  and  manner  as  may  be  of  the  greatest  benefit  in  the 
correction,  if  possible,  of  certain  social  evils.  Ordinarily,  vital  statistics 
are  used  only  for  recording  the  movement  of  population,  for  locating  the 
foci  of  infectious  diseases,  for  the  study  of  occupation  and  location  on 
morbidity  and  mortality,  and  for  legal  purposes.  We  believe  that  a 
broader  interpretation  should  be  given  to  such  valuable  data,  and  that 
it  should  be  utilized  for  the  betterment  of  social  conditions,  if  possible. 
However,  we  are  uncertain  how  to  proceed  and  also  uncertain  as  to  the 
methods  to  employ  as  a  reasonable  working  basis,  and  therefore  propose 
to  call  a  conference  of  certain  representative  men  and  women  of  the  state 
to  meet  with  the  State  Board  of  Health  on  January  30,  at  the  crifice  of 
the  secretary,  in  the  statehouse,  at  two  p.  h. 

"The  following  questions,  on  which  we  desire  your  valuable  opinicm, 
are  suggested  for  discussion: 

"1.  (a)  Should  the  number  of  illegimate  births  be  published  monthly 
in  the  Bulletin  or  given  to  the  daily  press?  (b)  Would  such  procedure 
have  a  deterrent  effect  on  illicit  intercourse?  (c)  Would  it  give  Kaiuai 
undesirable   adveHieing  without  compensating  beneflt? 

"2.  (a)  Should  the  department  insist  on  complete  and  literal  enforce- 
ment of  the  law  in  demanding  the  name  of  the  father  of  an  illegitimate 
child,  so  it  might  be  made  a  matter  of  permanent  record?  (6)  Could  the 
statement  of  the  mother,  if  forced  to  make  a  statement,  be  relied  on  *s 
being  true?  (c)  Do  the  rights  of  the  child  demand  that  an  effort  be 
made  to  name  the  father?     (d)    Should  the  law  be  invoked  in  case  of 

"3.  (a)  Should  the  number  of  cases  of  death  from  abortion  ^nd  mis- 
carriage in  the  unmarried  be  published?  (b)  Should  the  number  of  such 
cases  in  the  married  be  published,  (c)  Should  an  investigation  be  made 
as  to  whether  or  not  a  crime  had  been  conunitted  in  suspected  cases?

"4.  (a)  Should  publicity  be  ^ven  to  an  increaaing  number  of  suicidesT 
<6)  Should  the  method  of  'suicide  route'  be  stated?  (e)  What  part 
does  '■ugsestion'  play  with  the  morbid,  unbalanced  or  temporarily  insane 
person  who  contemplates  suicide? 

"5.  (a)  Should  publicity  be  given  to  deaths  from  industrial  accidents, 
giving  name  and  location  of  industry?  (b)  Would  the  public  be  likely 
or  able  to  discriminate  between  unavoidable  accidents  and  those  due  to 
neglect  or  careleEsneHa  of  employer  or  employee?  (c)  In  case  of  death 
from  avoidable  accident,  what  course  should  be  pursued? 

"6.  (a)  Should  deaths  from  venereal  disease  be  published?  (6) 
Should  the  department  undertake  the  publication  and  distribution  of  a 
pamphlet  on  'Sex  Hygiene'7  (c)  If  so,  what  method  of  distribution  would 
you  suggest? 

"7.  If  publicity  is  desirable  and  advised  in  any  or  all  of  these  things, 
what  methods  should  be  pursued? 

"The  department  expresses  the  hope  that  everyone  invited  to  the  eon< 
ference  may  be  able  to  come  and  feel  free  to  take  pvl  in  the  discuesion. 
Very  truly  yours,

DIVISION  OF  COMMUNICABLE  DISEASES. 

In  accordance  with  the  approval  of  the  Board  at  the  last  quarterly 
meeting,  to  secure  one  or  more  expert  men  to  carry  on  the  anti-taber- 
culosiB  work,  I  have  secured  the  services  of  Dr.  Leo  Haughey  as  lecturer 
and  Hr.  J<^n  Wylie  as  assistant.  The  work  is  now  being  carried  on  in 
the  smaller  towns  of  the  state  that  had  not  hitherto  been  visited,  the 
exhibit  not  now  being  taken  on  the  road  for  display;  thus  more  towns  are 
vicitod  and  I  believe  more  effective  work  is  being  accomplished. 

"The  following  towns  have  been  visited  since  the  beginning  of  this

Doctor  Haughey  reports  a  large  attendance  and  enthuaiaatic  interest, 
notably  among  the  teachers  and  school  childroi.  The  record  of  attendance 
shows  that  persons  have  heard  the  doctor's  lectures  and  se^  the  moving 
pictures  and  stereopticon  views  which  were  nightly  displayed. 

We  also  were  fortunate  in  securing  the  services  of  Dr.  John  J.  Sippy, 
coun^  health  officer  of  Sumner  county,  who  started  in  working  for  the 
departmoit  under  the  title  of  epidemiologist  for  the  Board.  He  has 
completed  a  very  thorou^  social  and  industrial  study  of  tuberculosis  in 
the  cities  of  Wichita  and  Hutchinson,  and  is  now  working  in  Kansas  City, 
Kan.  In  addition  to  this,  he  has  made  a  study  of  typhoid  fever  in  the 
city  of  Hutchinson,  where  there  were  an  unusual  number  of  cases  the 
past  summer.  Doctor  Sippy's  final  report  from  the  city  of  Wichita  indi- 
cates that  there  have  been  10€  cases  of  tuberculosis  in  that  city  from 
July  1,  1909  (the  date  of  the  notification  law),  to  January  14,  1912;  the 
number  of  deaths  among  report«d  cases,  46;  the  number  of  deaths  ammg 
unreported  casea,  44;  the  number  of  cases  having  left  the  city  and  state, 
IS;  number  of  cases  having  left  the  city,  still  in  the  state,  3;  number  of 
casea  known  to  be  living  in  the  city  at  the  preseoit  time,  27;  number  of 
cases  in  the  city  but  which  could  not  be  found,  8;  total,  36,  Number  of 
cases  interviewed  and  data  taken,  6.  We  have  accurate  detailed  reiMrts 
covering  32  living  cases  of  tuberculosis  in  the  city  of  Wichita  at  the  presmt 
time.  These  reports  cover,  tirst,  the  personal  medical  history  of  the  case; 
seccmd,  the  home  conditions ;  third,  the  housing  conditEoiu;  fourth,  thegen- 
eral  working  conditions ;  and  fifth,  the  other  manbcrs  of  tiie  family.  These 
conditions  are  herewith  outlined  by  filing  with  this  report  a  blank  which 
has  been  adopted  in  gathering  this  information.  The  average  age  of  all 
cases  in  Wichita  is  32  years,  2  months,  6  days;  average  age  of  deaths, 
34  years,  6  months  and  4  days;  average  age  of  pati«ait«  living,  33  years, 
10  months,  6H  days.  Of  cases  reported,  98  are  white,  4  negro,  4  Mexican. 
Of  all  deaths,  80  were  white,  6  negro,  and  four  Mexican.  In  addititm  to 
this  work.  Doctor  Sippy  has  accomplished  the  following  in  Wichita,

ments of  the  vital  statistics  law. 

"6.  The  promotion  of  a  ereater  interest  by  phyaidans  in  the  woA 
of  the  State  Board  of  Healtn,  and  the  enlistment  of  much  support  for 
n«w  and  needed  legislation  to  aid  the  latter  in  its  work.  Am  satisfied 
that  much  is  to  be  expected  from  the  Sedgwick  county  profession  along 
this  line. 

"9.  The  reaching  of  the  conclusion,  on  which  action  either  by  the 
State  Board  of  Health  or  by  I^station  is  very  imperative,  that  some 
means  should  be  tak^i  to  protect  the  various  laborers  in  trades  from 
dust  irritation  to  which  they  are  subjected  in  carrying  on  their  trades. 
More  particularly  should  laundrjr  workers  be  protected  from  conta^cm 
in  the  handling  of  infected  clothing,  bf  a  thorough  method  of  the  disin- 
fection of  all  laundry  immediately  on  its  entrance  to  the  buildings  from 
the  wagons  which  collected  it.  John  J.  Sifpy,  Epidemiologigt." 

It  can  be  seen,  therefore,  that  his  services  are  valuable  not  only  as  an 
epidemiologist,  but  also  in  representing  the  department  in  the  yariou 
phases  of  its  activity  in  the  departmenf  a  relation  to  the  physicians  and 
the  sanitary  oragnizations  of  tfie  state. 

During  Uie  course  of  investigation  Doctor  Sippy  discovered  a  case  of 
tuberculosis,  in  a  box  car  on  tne  railroad  ri^ht  of  way  containing  ten 
other  persons — windowlesa,  unvEoitilatcd,  and  in  such  an  insanitary  con- 
dition as  would  undoubtedly  bring  about  the  ultimate  infection  of  every 
person  ctmtained  therein.  I  asked  him  to  make  a  very  detailed  surv^ 
of  the  housing  conditions  upon  the  railroad  ri^ts  of  way  in  the  city  ot 
Wichita,  which  was  done,  and  submitted  to  the  department  on  December 
3D,  and  is  herewith  appended  as  a  portion  of  this  report:

This  revealed  such  an  appalling  and  dangerous  condition  that  I  was 
constrained  to  send  the  following  letter  to  l£e  g«aetal  managers  of  the 
Santa  Fe  and  Rock  Island  railways: 

"JANUAHY  13,  1912. 
"Mr.  C.  W.  Kouiu,  General  Manager  Santa  Fe  Rly,  Co.,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

"Dear  Sik — I  am  inclosing  herewith  a  copy  of  re^rt  of  a  social  and 
sanitary  survey  made  in  Wichita  on  the  railroad  rights  of  way  of  the 
Santa  Fe  and  Bock  Island  railways  covering,  as  you  will  see,  tie  hous- 
ing conditions  of  Mexican  laborers  employed  on  these  two  railway  sys- 
tems. This  inspection  was  made  by  the  epidemiologist  of  the  State 
Board  of  Health,  Dr.  John  J.  Sippy,  under  the  direction  of  this  depart- 
ment, and,  I  think  you  will  agree  with  me,  discloses  a  condition  as  to 
crowding,  lack  of  air  space,  lighting  and  ventilation,  filthy  surroundings 
with  inadequate  or  no  toilet  or  water  facilities,  which  not  only  is  a 
menace  to  the  health  of  the  people  living  in  these  places,  but  a  foei  of 
infection  which  is  of  greater  or  less  danger  to  the  entire  commoni^,  and 
which  should  not  be  permitted  to  exist 

"Doctor  Sippy  in  his  notes  declares  that  the  living  conditions  are 
really  much  worse  than  can  be  indicated  bv  a  mere  chart  of  the  gathered 
data,  as  members  of  families  make  no  admission  of  having  roomers  or 
boarders,  which  information,  from  other  sources,  indicates  that  there 
are  a  number  of  such  living,  at  least  in  part,  in  these  rooms  and  shacks, 
which  are  in  addition  to  the  members  tabulated  in  the  report  To  quote 
his  own  words: 

"  'To  look  at  the  bare  facts  and  figures  does  not  do  justice  in  the  way 
of  description.  I  wrote  you  of  finding  eleven  people  in  one  box  car,  one 
of  whom — a  woman — was  a  tubercular  patient,  and  four  of  wh(»n  were 
little  children  playing  about  on  the  floor  of  the  dark,  windowleaa  and 
fetid,  unventilated  room,  where  cooking,  dining  and  sleeping  conditions 
were  all  one.  The  woman  died  on  the  27th  inst.,  and  on  yesterday's  in- 
spection I  found  the  car  deserted  and  the  inhabitants  scattered  through- 
out the  rest  of  the  camp. 

"  'You  will  note  that  I  found  almost  as  bad  a  condition  yesterday  in 
finding  two  box  cars,  one  of  which,  with  only  ei(^t  square  feet  of  window 
area  (and  these  were  tightly  closed),  contained  ten  men,  while  the  other, 
with  only  three  square  feet  of  window  area  (also  closed) ,  had  five  men, 
two  women  and  three  children. 

"'Sanitary  conditions  are  unspeakable!  I  found  only  five  toilets,  and 
these,  of  the  common  earth  open-vault  type,  filthy  beyond  description. 
These  five  vaults  are  used  by  the  whole  population,  both  floating  and 
stationary.  In  the  case  of  the  old  store  room,  the  entire  twenty-six 
people  and  all  of  their  visiting  friends  use  the  same  privy.  The  water 
supply  is  from  driven  pipe  wells  with  pumps  (common  jiitcher  type), 
and  the  yards  around  them  reek  with  fllth  of  every  descnptjon.' 

"The  doctor  continues  in  the  report,  and  says  that  he  found  but  one 
well-lighted  house  that  was  in  any  way  well  kept.    He  declare*  that  most

of  the  places  are  so  dark  that  it  is  found  necessarjr  to  bum  oil  lamps  for 
lighting  canstantly. 

"The  State  Board  of  Health  is  aware  that  these  pemle  naturally  have 
very  low  standards  of  living,  and  yet  we  are  of  the  belief,  which  Doctor 
Sippy's  further  iuTestigation  seemed  to  prove,  that  other  Mexican  labor- 
ers  who  live  in  decent  houses  about  the  city  are  not  only  better  housed 
and  better  provided  with  water  and  sewage  facilities,  but  that  the  houses 
themselves  are  kept  in  better  sanitary  condition.  In  other  words,  if  theoe 
people  are  permitted  or  re^juired  to  live  in  places  that  are  really  fit  for 
human  habitation  they  will  more  nearly  approach  the  standards  of 
American  living,  but  they  certainly  never  can  do  anything  for  them- 
selves so  long  as  the  railroad  companies  apparently  make  no  effort  to 
give  than  decent  facilities  or  proper  housing  in  which  it  is  possible  for 
Uiem  to  do  much  better  than  they  are  now  able  to  do. 

"The  department  is  inclined  to  the  belief  that  the  railroad  companies 
are  chiefly  responsible,  if  not  entirely,  for  their  presence  in  the  state, 
which  everyone  recognizes  has  been  a  necessity^  but  with  that  recog- 
nition we  are  almost  inclined  to  fix  the  responsibility  on  the  railroaoa 
for  the  inhuman  conditions  in  which  they  are  permitted  to  live,  where 
such  conditions  are  found  upon  railroad  rights  of  way.  P\irthermore, 
we  are  of  the  belief  that  the  management  can  not  certainly  be  aware  of 
the  actual  facts,  which  are  doubtless  similar  throughout  Uie  state  where 
these  people  are  crowded  together;  and  we  feel  quite  sure  that,  now  that 
the  matter  has  been  thus  definitely  and  specifically  brought  to  your  at- 
tention, that  it  will  receive  your  earnest  thought  and  consideration  and 
that  decent  housing  and  proper  facilities  will  be  afforded  them,  if  you 
desire  them  to  live  upon  the  right  of  way,  or  that  the  pest-bouees  of 
infection  be  abolished  and  they  be  required  to  look  after  their  own  places 
of  residence  the  same  as  other  laborers.  I  presume  rhat  permisaion  has 
been  given  to  this  class  of  laborers  to  utilize  places  of  this  sort  on  the 
ground  of  the  company's  desire  to  help  them,  but  we  have  found  that 
this  present  plan  has  built  up  such  a  dangerous  community  life  from  a 
sanitary  standpoint  as  to  be  intolerable.  Moreover,  it  appears  to  me 
that  in  many  instances  the  pollution  of  box  cars,  concerning  which 
grocers  and  other  shippers  of  merchandise  complain  so  bitterly,  must  be 
due,  in  part  at  least,  to  these  people  who  are  not  provided  widi  sanitary 
conveniences.  Frankly,  I  do  not  know  that  such  is  the  case,  but  it  would 
seem  to  be  inevitable  that  box  cars  standing  upon  the  sidetracks  would  be 
utilized  for  such  purposes  during  the  daytime  in  the  absence  of  toilet 
facilities. 

"I  would  be  very  glad  indeed  to  have  your  company  make  a  very 
thorough  investigation  and  survey  of  all  of  your  Mexican  laborers' 
camps  located  on  vour  right  of  wa^  in  this  state,  and  I  am  very  certain 
that  conditions  will  be  revealed  which  will  be  so  repugnant  to  your  sense 
of  justice  and  decency  as  to  cause  the  immediate  setting  of  plans  on  foot 
for  the  betterment  of  these  conditions.  May  we  be  assured  of  an  early 
investigation  and  your  report  and  conclusions  as  to  what  can  be  done  in 
the  matter?  Very  truly  yours, 

(Signed)         S.  J,  Ckumbine,  M.  D.,  Secretary." 

Reply  has  be«i  received  from  the  Santa  Pe  Railway  Company,  which 
is  herewith  submitted: 

"ToPBKA,  January  16,  1912. 
"Dr.  S.  J.  Crumbine,  Secretary,  State  Board  of  Health.,  Topeka,  Kan.: 

"Dear  Sir — Replying  to  your  letter  of  January  13,  with  reference  to 
sanitary  conditions  and  surroundings  of  the  Mexican  track  laborers  cm- 
ployed  by  this  company:  I  will  make  immediate  investigation  of  such 
conditions  and  will  advise  you  of  the  result  thereof. 

Yours  truly,  (Signed)         C.  W.  Kounh,  General  Manager." 

In  addition  to  all  of  this  splendid  work  by  Doctor  Sippy,  he  called  on 
■every  physician  doing  business  in  the  city,  and  got  into  personal  and 
vital  touch  with  bim  by  explaining  somewhat  in  detail  the  nature  and

operation  and  the  reasons  for  the  various  health  laws,  and  personally 
provided  each  physician  with  report  blanks,  making  a  note  of  the  time 
and  date  when  these  lilanks  were  given.  This  was  for  the  express  pur- 
pose of  hereafter  enforcing  the  notification  law  as  the  law  specifically 
provides  that  blanks  shall  be  furnished,  and  tne  department  now  has 
evidence  that  the  blanks  have  been  properly  ^minhed  and  dne  notice 
has  been  given. 

A  survey  of  the  cases  of  tuberculoBis  in  Hutchinson,  indicated  in  Doc- 
tor Sippy's  report,  is  as  follows: 
Total  number  of  deaths  not  previously  reported,  8. 
Total  number  of  cases  reported,  29. 
Total  number  of  deaths  among  reported  cases,  T. 
Total  number  recovered,  1. 
Total  number  left  city  and  state,  5. 
Total  number  still  in  the  city  and  county,  16. 
Average  age  of  cases,  33  years,  7  months,  13  days. 
Average  age  of  deaths,  36  years,  1  month,  17  days. 
Average  age  of  living  cases,  36  years,  9  months,  7  days. 
Number  of  cases  visited  and  reported,  8. 
Number  of  doctors  visited  and  instructed  as  to  the  requirements  of  the 

vital  statistics  and  antituberculosis  laws,  36. 

Undertakers  and  the  secretary  of  the  Cemetery  Association  were  also 
visited  and  instructed  as  to  the  proper  method  of  filing  death  certificates. 
In  like  manner  blanks  were  left  with  every  physician  visited. 

It  is  worthy  of  note  that  in  both  Hutehinson  and  Wichita  a  large  num- 
ber of  cases  left  the  city  and  state,'  namely,  18  in  Wichita  and  5  in 
Hutchinson — a  total  of  23,  or  about  B%  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of 
cases  reported  in  these  two  cities.  The  old  idea  of  sending  patients  away 
from  home  for  treatment  still  prevails  to  a  considerable  extent.  Indeed, 
many  of  these  cases  were  in  the  advanced  stages  of  the  disease,  and  met 
the  pathetic,  and  1  might  say  "tragic,"  fate  that  thousands  do  from  all 
over  the  United  States,  to  the  disgrace  and  shame  of  the  profession  who 
send  them  away  from  their  homes! 

On  December  19  Doctor  Sippy  was  requested  to  {^  to  Neosho  Falls  to 
investigate  a  continued  epidemic  of  smallpox,  which  apparently  little 
^ort  was  being  made  by  the  local  authorities  to  control.  The  State 
Normal  School  at  Emporia  was  thrown  into  a  panic  by  a  student  coming 
down  with  the  disease  who  had  been  exposed  in  the  depot  at  Neosho 
Falls.  The  result  of  Doctor  Sippy's  visit,  in  conjunction  with  a  threat 
from  this  iifRce  that  the  city  would  be  put  in  quarantine  unless  the 
local  authorities  took  serious  hold  of  the  situation  in  accordance  with  the 
law,  was  effectual,  and  at  the  present  time  the  epidonic  has  beoi  abated. 

ANTERIOR  POLIOMYELITIS. 

One  of  the  surprises  of  the  cold  weather  has  not  been  the  low  pressure 
of  gas,  as  that  was  to  be  expected,  but  the  continuation  of  isolatad  cases 
of  anterior  poliomyelitis  being  reported,  there  having  been  four  casea 
reported  thus  far  in  January,  while  three  cases  were  reported  in  De- 
cember. 

PELLAGRA. 

One  effect  of  t^e  cold  weather  seems  to  have  been  an  arrest  of  any 
further  spread  of  pellagra;  at  all  evmts,  no  cases  have  been  rorarted 
since  our  last  report  was  made.  Thus  far  there  have  been  eight  known 
cases  of  the  disease,  with  two  deaths  and  at  least  two  suspects.  There 
can  scarcely  be  any  doubt  but  what  with  the  advent  of  the  warm  weather 
and  bright  sunshine  of  the  spring  new  cases  will  arise  in  what  is  pre- 
sumably the  infected  district  of  the  state.

Sixth  Biennial  Report. 


Th«  general  health  eonditiona  throughout  the  state  aince  the  last 
quarterly  meeting  have  beoi  highly  satiuactory,  no  unumal  or  virulent 
epidemics  having  come  to  our  notice.  Much  more  might  be  accomplished 
in  the  inveetigation  of  disease  epidemics  had  we  adequate  funds  at  oor 
command,  and  the  work  of  Doctor  Sippy  simply  emphaBises  the  state- 
ment which  I  made  at  the  last  quarterly  meeting  of  the  absolute  necessity 
of  the  Board  having  a  trained  epidemiologist  cat  its  staff  to  investigate 
epidemics  of  diseases  and  conditions  that  favor  the  dissemination  of  the 
same. 

Following  the  custom  which  has  prevailed  for  several  years,  the  fol- 
lowing circular  letter  was  issued  to  hoards  of  county  commissioners: 

"January  4,  1912. 
"Hon.  Board  of  County  Commissioners,  Tke  County  Board  of  Health:    ■ 

"Gentlemen— I  desire  to  invite  your  attrition  to  section  8033  of  the 
Revised, Statutes  of  1909,  which  provides  that  the  preference  for  the 
election  of  your  health  officer  shall  be  given  to  an  'adept  in  sanitary 
science.'  This  means  that  the  practice  of  some  boards  in  appointing 
this  important  officer  on  the  basis  of  competitive  bids,  and  thereby  gtiak- 
ing  a  selection  in  accordance  with  the  provision  of  the  statute,  is  both 
illegal  and  impossible. 

"It  is  quite  apparent  that  the  lowest  bidder  is  more  likely  to  be  one 
who  is  the  least  qualified  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law,  rather  Uiaa 
the  physician  who  ia  the  best  fitted  by  knowledge  and  experience  to  fill 
the  moat  important  office  in  the  county.  The  hope  is  expressed  that 
appointments  will  always  be  made  in  the  spirit  as  well  as  the  letter  of 
the  statute. 

"I  also  desire  to  call  your  attention  to  the  provisions  of  chapters  292, 
293  and  294,  Laws  of  1911,  which  provide  for  the  hospital  care  and  treat- 
ment of  certain  classes  of  cases  of  the  county  poor  at  the  Bell  Memorial 
(University)  Hospital,  Rosedale.  Blanks  for  admiss'on  and  further  in- 
fonnation  will  be  furnished  upon  applicaticm. 

Very  truly  yours,  S.  J.  Crumbine,  M.  D.,  Seeretary." 

I  am  glad  to  say  that  in  a  number  of  instances,  at  least,  health  officers 
have  been  selected  with  the  view  of  securing  the  best  man  for  the  place, 
while  salaries  have  been  increased  to  a  considerable  extent. 

"Respectfully  submitted.  S.  J.  Crumbine,  M,  D.,  Seeretary."

SECRETARY'S  REPORT. 


ANNUAL  MEETING  OP  THE  STATE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 


Mr.  Peebidbnt  and  Meubqis  of  the  State  Board  of  Health — Th« 
end  of  the  present  fiscal  year  completes  my  eighth  year  of  service  as 
■secretary  for  the  State  Board  of  Health,  having  beoi  a  member  of  th« 
Board  for  six  years  previous  thereto. 

In  looking  over  the  progrcEs  that  has  been  made  in  the  work  of  the 
department  daring  the  past  eight  years,  it  is  a  matter  of  considerable 
gratification  to  the  secretary,  at  least,  and  I  believe  to  the  entire  Board, 
to  oote  the  forward  strides  the  department  has  made  in  so  brief  a  space 
of  time  in  building  up  a  sanitary  organization  which  for  effectiveness  and 
efficiency  is,  perhaps,  without  a  parallel  in  the  country,  length  of  time 
considered. 

J  trust  the  Board  may  pardon  anv  personal  alluaion&  but  it  secma 
highly  appropriate  to  briefly  review  tne  development  of  this  department 
daring  Uiis  period  of  years.  When,  your  secretary  assumed  the  duties 
of  the  office  the  working  force  consisted  of  one  stenographer  and  faimaelf. 
What  little  was  then  undertaken,  under  the  provisions  of  our  inadequate 
laws,  on  an  average  consumed  from  one  to  two  hours  a  day,  the  secre* 
tary  thus  having  most  of  his  time  to  engage  in  private  practice;  indeed, 
shoald  his  practice  be  of  a  particularly  argent  nature,  he  could  without 
hurt  to  the  Board's  work  absent  himself  a  number  of  days  from  the 
office.  The  laws  then  on  the  statute  bot^  simply  required  him  to  have 
general  supervision  over  the  reports  of  contagious  diseases  and  to  Issue 
an  annual  report  to  the  governor.  Quarterly  reports  were  required  of 
the  health  officers  throughout  the  state.  Many  of  these  reports  were 
never  made,  which  fact,  together  with  the  length  of  time  of  the  entire 
quarter  for  their  making,  made  them  of  no  worth  or  value.  Token  all 
together,  the  work  of  the  department  was  very  much  of  a  farce,  with  no 
special  laws  to  enforce  outside  of  the  quarantine  law,  with  no  appro- 
priations of  sufficient  amounts  to  undertake  any  special  work,  and  with 
no  available  force  by  which  any  unusual  work  might  be  accomplished. 
Compare  those  conditions  with  the  situation  of  to-day — a  most  rigid  and 
far-reaching  water  and  sewage  law,  one  of  the  best  food  and  drug  laws 
in  the  United  States,  an  efficient  vital  statistics  law;  tuberculosis  legiE- 
laticn,  embracing  compulsory  reports,  statewide  educational  campaigns, 
and,  finally,  a  tuberculosis  sanatorium;  the  distribution  of  free  anti- 
toxins, a  weights  and  measures  law,  hotel  supervision,  and  a  large 
number  of  minor  sanitary  enactments  giving  the  State  Board  of  HealUi 
ample  authority  in  almost  every  phase  of  public  hygiene  and  sanitation. 

This  progresE  would  seem  to  indicate  that  we  have  had  the  support  of 
the  people  in  the  work  of  the  department,  which  in  a  general  way,  is 
true;  yet  we  have  encountered  many  obstacles,  chief  of  which  is  the  dead- 
weight indifference  of  the  average  person  in  matters  of  public  hygiene 
and  sanitation.  There  has  also  been  more  or  less  active  opposition,  and  it 
is  to  be  expected  that  from  this  time  forward  such  opposition  will  rather 
increase  than  diminish,  for  it  is  but  natural  that  in  the  enforcement  of 
law  those  who  come  in  contact  with  the  penalties  of  the  law  are  resentful 
and  usually  take  every  opportunity  to  obstruct  or  impede  the  work  of 
that  particular  department. 

Perhaps  one  of  the  most  notable  changes  in  public  health  work  is  the

new  idea  concerning  the  di semination  of  diaeaee.  Formerly,  boards 
of  health  were  chiefly  concerned  with  places  and  environment  as  the 
medium  of  diBtribution  of  contagione  diseases;  the  new  idea  is  that  the 
individual  is  chiefly  the  carrier  of  infectious  disease,  and  Bo  our  chief 
concern  is  in  finding  the  afflicted  persons,  or  the  carriers  of  micro- 
organismB,  all  of  which  menna  rreater  emphasis  being;  placed  upon  the 
utilization  of  well-known  scientinc  measures  rather  ttaan  fatile  ati«npta 
to  discover  foraites,  miasms,  or  other  indefinite  conditions  or  things. 

This  new  idea  in  our  public  health  work  leads  me  ta  recommend,  first 
of  all,  as  I  have  done  on  a  former  occaeion,  that  the  time  has  now  come 
when  it  is  abEolutely  necessary  for  the  State  Board  of  Health  to  have 
at  its  command  an  epidemiologist,  whose  business  will  be  to  make  careful 
and  searching  study  of  epidemics  of  diseases,  finding  the  cause  and,  if 
possible,  the  individual  that  is  the  occasion  of  an  epidemic  in  any  com- 
munity; for  when  that  is  once  determined  the  proper  procedure  as  to  the 
-employment  of  preventive  measures  is  clearly  indicated. 

COMMUNICABLE  DISEASES. 

Dr.  John  J.  Sippy  has  been  temporarily  filling  the  place  of  epidemiol- 
ogist for  the  Board,  and  has  about  finished  the  social  and  industrial  sur- 
vey of  tubercuIoBis  in  the  ten  cities  of  the  firet  claES,  I  have  requested 
him  to  make  a  tentative  report  of  his  work  to  the  Board  in  perBon, 
which  later  on  will  be  carefully  tabulated,  digested,  and  published  in  a 
future  issue  of  the  Buluttin. 

The  housing  and  social  conditions  found  in  several  of  our  larger 
cities  were  nothing  short  of  appalling,  and  In  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  tuber- 
culosis parallels  in  morbidity  and  mortality  any  other  prevalent  com- 
municable disease  that  exists  to-da^.  During  Doctor  Sippy's  seven  weeks' 
stay  in  Kansas  City  24  people  died  from  tuberculoBis,  which,  together 
with  the  lai^e  number  of  living  cases,  certainly  warrants  the  asBertion 
that  tuberculosis  is  epidemic  in  the  metropolis  of  Kansas.  The  fact  that 
the  doctor  found  a  number  of  cases  of  tuberculoBia  among  the  chicken 
pickers  of  a  certain  packing  plant,  and  also  that  during  March  of  this 
year  flve  employees  of  a  packing  industry  of  that  city,  and  in  April 
three  others,  died  of  tuberculosis,  seems  to  be  sufficient  warrant  far  the 
institution  of  ways  and  means  for  making  an  early  discovery  of  this 
disease  among  those  who  handle  food  products.  Accordingly  a  letter  was 
addressed  to  all  the  packing  houses  in  Kansas,  which  in  substance  is  as 
follows : 

"TopEKA,  Kan.,  April  27,  1912. 

"Gentlemen — I  notice  in  the  death  returns  from  Kansas  City,  Kan., 
for  the  month  of  March  the  death  of  four  packing  house  men  from 
tuberculosis. 

"Will  you  kindly  indicate  to  this  department  what  ways  or  meanB,  if 
any,  you  have  of  determining  whether  or  not  your  employees,  particularly 
those  handling  meat  products,  are  free  from  tuberculosis  or  other  infec- 
tious diseases?  Are  they  examined  at  regular  intervals?  Has  there  been 
any  systematic  eiTort  made  towards  locating  cases  of  incipient  tuber- 
culosis? Would  you  be  willing  to  issue  an  order  requiring  that  a  pains- 
taking examination  be  made  of  jour  employees  by  giving  the  tuberculin 
test,  or  other  means  for  determining  the  exact  number  of  tuberculosis 
cases  in  your  employ. 

"There  is  no  question  in  my  mind  but  what  a  considerable  number 
will  be  discovered,  as,  for  illustration,  our  epidemiologist  disrovered  five 
cases  among  chicken  pickers  of  a  cettain  packing  plant  last  month. 

"Your  ear^  reply  to  these  questions  will  be  highly  appreciated. 
Yours  very  truly, 

S.  J.   Chumbine,   M.   D.,  Secretary." 

Replies  to  these  letters  have  been  received  from  most  of  the  packers, 
but  up  to  the  present  time  no  definite  program  has  been  decidej  upon. 
I  respectfully  recommend  that  the  action  of  the  secretary  in  this  matter

be  indorsed,  and  that  the  packing:  establishments  of  the  state  be  required 
to  put  into  operation  some  reasonable  yet  effective  means  for  the  dis- 
covery of  all  caaea  of  cominunicable  diseases  in  their  establishments, 

I  believe  I  mentioned  in  my  last  annual  report  the  occurrence  of  an 
widemic  of  what  waa  then  supposed  to  be  ptomaine  poisoning  near 
Peabody,  but  which  later  proved  to  be,  in  addition  to  the  ptomaine  poison- 
ing, an  explosion  of  typhoid  fever.  It  develops  that  a  Vha.  Dohner,  who 
prepared  the  pressed  cnicken  for  a  missionary  luncheon,  of  which  25  of 
the  26  people  present  partook,  waa  a  typhoid  carrier;  that  eight  years 
previous  she  had  had  typhoid  fever,  and  a  year  following  had  been 
operated  on  for  gallstones,  the  operation  resulting  in  a  permanent  fistula 
from  which  was  discharged  large  quantities  of  mucus  and  bile.  All  of 
the  persons  partaking  of  the  pressed  chicken  were  afflicted  with  typhoid 
(ever,  the  only  person  escaping  being  the  one  who  did  not  eat  any  of  it 
A  large  number  of  secondary  cases  of  typhoid  fever  came  down  in  the 
families  of  those  afflicted,  wnich,  tofi^ther  with  the  tabulation  of  cases 
of  typhoid  occuring  in  her  own  family  and  in  the  families  of  neighbors 
for  the  eight  preceding  years — which  cases  were  undoubtedly  infected  by 
this  carrier  through  food  or  water  supplies — makes  the  astonishing  total 
of  76  cases. 

Dr.  J.  O.  First,  formerly  living  at  Peabody  but  now  of  Los  Angeles, 
Cal.,  told  me  last  July,  when  I  was  in  attendance  at  the  meeting  of  the 
A.  M.  A.,  that  he  believed  this  typhoid  outbreak  at  Peabody  was  oc- 
casioned by  infection  from  this  woman,  giving  me  the  history  of  her  op- 
eration and  the  fact  that  she  had  this  bniaTy  fistula,  and  also  the  obser- 
vation that  typhoid  fever  had  occurred  every  year  in  her  neighborhood 
during  all  of  these  years;  that  while  he  really  had  not  thou^t  much 
about  it  during  this  time,  yet  with  the  increased  knowledge  of  the 
method  of  dissemination  of  typhoid  fever  gained  during  the  last  few 
years,  he  concluded  after  having  left  his  Kansas  home  thbt  Mrs.  Dohner 
must  be  the  carrier,  Accordin^y,  on  my  return  home  I  asked  Dr.  E.  H, 
Johnson  to  submit  samples  from  the  biliary  fistula  to  this  department  for 
examination,  on  which  the  bacteriologist  reported  in  the  affirmative. 
Subsequently  samples  were  sent  to  five  other  bacteriologists,  two  of 
which  gave  positive  reports  and  three  negative.  We  were  accordingly 
considerably  m  the  dark  as  to  what  to  believe,  whereupon  I  submitted  a 
sample  to  the  Hygienic  Laboratories  of  the  Public  Health  and  Marine 
Hospital  Service  of  the  United  States,  at  Washington,  and  received  the 
following  letter  from  the  director,  Dr,  John  F.  Anderson : 

"March  14,  1912, 
"Dr.  S,  J.  Crambine,  Secretary  State  Board  of  Heal*h,  Topeka,  Kait.: 

"Dear  Doctor  Crumbine — With  further  reference  to  your  letter  of 
March  5,  transmitting  a  sample  of  bile  and  also  a  sample  of  blood  from 
Mrs.  Dohner,  of  Peabody,  Kan,,  who  is  suspected  of  being  a  typhoid 
carrier,  I  have  to  say  that  the  sample  of  bile  was  plated  out  on  differ- 
ential culture  media  and  from  the  bile  we  isolated  the  typhoid  bacilhis. 
The  colon  bacillus  was  also  found  present  as  a  c(»itaminatin^  organism, 

"The  typhoid  bacillus  gave  all  the  cultural  reactions  for  this  organism, 
and  in  addition  was  agglutinated  by  a  specific  serum  in  a  dilution  of  over 
1:10,000.  There  can,  therefore,  be  no  doubt  that  the  bile  from  Mrs. 
Dohner  contains  the  typhoid  bacillus.  This  being  the  case,  there  is  good 
reason  to  suspect  that  she  also  passes  bacilli  in  her  feces. 

"On  account  of  the  positive  result  of  the  bile  it  waa  not  found  neces- 
sary to  test  the  blood,  as  it  would  have  given  no  additional  information- 

"It  would  seem  that  Mrs.  Dohner  is  a  distinct  menace  to  those  with 
whom  she  may  come  in  contact  if  she  is  allowed  to  have  anything  to  do 
with  the  preparation  and  distribution  of  food  for  the  consumption  of 

"This  fistula  ia  a  distinct  source  of  danger  on  account  of  the  very 
great  liability  for  her  hands  and  clothing  to  become  soiled  with  the  bile 
containing  the  typhoid  bacilli.

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  93 

"I  shall  be  pleased  at  any  time  to  examine  any  further  specimens  from 
you.  This  case  seems  to  be  a  very  interesting  one  snd  I  hope  you  vill 
report  it  in  the  literature. 

Very  truly  yours,  John  F.  Andesson, 

Director  Hygienic  Laboratory." 

Mrs.  Dohner  has  since  been  operated  on  for  a  biliary  fistula  b^  Doctor 
Axt«ll,  at  Newton,  which  was  a  complete  success,  and  it  is  our  intention 
in  a  short  time  to  secure  samples  of  the  urine  and  feces  to  determine 
whether  or  not  she  is  throwing  off  the  typhoid  bacillus,  the  result  of 
which  I  will  report  to  the  Board  at  a  later  date. 

On  May  1  the  following  tetter  was  sent  to  the  mayor  of  every  incor- 
porated  city  in    Kansas,  inclosing  a  model  antifly  ordinance,   copy  of 
which  is  also  shown: 
"To  the  Mayor  awf  Comm««»7«,rs  ■  "TOPEKA,  May  1,  1912. 

"Gentlemen— I  am  inclosing  herewith  a  copy  of  a  suggested  ordi- 
nance for  the  purpose  of  putting  the  house  fly  out  of  business  in  Kansas. 
If  we  can  prevent  them  from  breeding  the  necessity  for  "swatting" 
ibem  will  be  eliminated.  Probably  90  per  cent  of  hous?  flies  are  hatched 
in  horse  manure  and  outside  closets;  it  is  obvious,  therefore,  that  if  the 
manure  heap  is  screened,  or,  better  still,  is  removed  at  least  once  every 
ten  days  (the  time  of  the  life  cycle  of  its  transformation  from  the  egg  to 
the  fly),  and  ali  outside  toilets  made  fly-proof,  there  will  be  90  per  cent 
less  flies  in  your  community. 

"The  part  that  flies  play  in  the  transmission  of  tjithoid  fever,  tuber- 
culosis, dysentery  and  intestinal  diseases  of  childhood  is  so  well  provai 
as  to  need  no  further  comment,  but  should  stimulate  every  effort  that  can 
reasonably  be  made  to  protect  the  health  and  comfort  of  our  people. 

"The  department  expresses  the  hope  that  you  may  join  with  us  in  the 
work  of  human  coaserratitai  by  the  adoption  and  rigid  mforcemoit  of 
the  ordinance. 

Very  truly  yours,  S.  J.  Cbuhbinb,  M.  D.,  Secretary." 


"Whekeas,  it  is  commonly  known  that  flies  are  very  dangerous  car- 
rierB  of  filth,  filth  poisons  and  disease  germs,  that  the?  are  t^m  in  flith 
and  are  a  constant  menace  against  the  health,  happiness  and  comfort 
of  the  people;  therefore, 

"Section   1.    Be  it  ordained  by  the  mayor  and  council  of  the  city 

of ,  that  it  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  to 

create  or  to  place  upon  their  premises.  Whether  owned  or  leased  by  them, 
or  to  place  on  any  street,  alley  or  common  any  one  or  more  of  the  follow- 
ing, to  wit:  (1)  Animal  manure,  in  any  quantity,  which  is  not  securely 
protected  from  flies;  (2)  privies,  vaults,  cesspools,  pits  or  like  places 
which  are  not  secure^  protected  from  flies;  (3)  garbage,  in  any  quantity, 
which  is  not  securely  protected  from  flies;  (4)  trash,  litter,  rags  or 
anything  whatsoever  in  which  flies  may  breed  or  multiply;  provided, 
that  between  the  first  day  of  April  and  the  first  day  of  November,  each 
year,  where  manure  or  garbage  is  not  securely  protected  from  flies,  such 
manure  or  garbage  is  required  to  be  removed  at  least  once  every  ten 
days  and  destroyed  by  burning,  burying  or  scattering  over  a  field  for 
fertilizer. 

"Sec.  2.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  chief  of  police  or  city  marshal 
and  health  officer,  upon  learning,  in  any  way  whatsoever,  of  the  existence

city  clerk,  to  remove  or  abate  said  unlawful  conditions,  stating  the 
shortest  reasoitable  time  for  such  removal  or  abatement.  In  the  event

with  the  proper  city  authorities  for  the  enforcement  of  the  law  and  thc' 
collection  of  the  penalties  prescribed  by  section  3. 

"Sec.  8.  Any  person,  firm  or  corporation  found  guilty  of  havii^;

"Sec.  4.  AH  ordinances  or  parts  of  ordinances  in  conflict  with  this

publication  in  the  oflicial  city  paper." 

On  May  IS  I  visited  Caney,  in  reeponee  ta  a  notification  from  Dr. 
H.  L.  Aldrich,  a  member  of  this  Board,  Utat  he  had  a  case  of  pellagra, 
the  first  to  be  reported  this  year.  An  examination  of  the  patient,  to- 
gether with  the  clinical-history,  leaves  no  doubt  in  my  mind  as  to  the 
correctness  of  the  diagnosis. 

Prof.  S.  J.  Hunter,  entomologist  at  the  University,  who  last  year 
conducted  experiments  on  the  so-called  "sand  fly"  or  "Sanbon"  theoTy 
of  the  cause  of  pellagra,  was  notified  of  this  case,  with  request  that  he 
make  an  investigation  to  determine  whether  or  not  the  sand  fly  was 
prevalent  in  or  near  the.creek  which  runs  through  Caney,  and  near  which 
the  patient  of  Doctor  Aldrich  lives.  Six  monkeys  have  been  purchased 
and  turned  over  to  Professor  Hunter  for  carrying  on  his  experiments, 
and  artificial  breeding  places  have  been  made  in  the  laboratories  at 
Lawrence  for  the  cultivation  of  sand  flies  and  a  minute  and  detailed  study 
made  of  their  history,  habits,  etc. 

During  the  past  year  there  have  been  two  severe  epidemics  of 
communicable  diseases;  the  first,  that  of  a  severe  epidemic  of  smallpox 
occurring  in  the  city  of  Topeka,  which  was  reported  somewhat  in  detail 
at  a  former  meeting;  the  second,  an  epidemic  of  cerebrospinal  menin- 
gitis in  Kansas  City,  with  the  disease  occurring  in  endemic  form  at 
various  places  throughout  central  and  eastern  KanEas.  All  together 
there  were  in  the  neighborhood  of  two  hundred  cases  in  the  state,  with 
a  mortality  approaching  65  per  cent. 

The  department  has  expended  money  in  the  distribution  of  free  anti- 
meningitis  serum,  and  at  one  time  had  the  only  available  supply  west  of 
Chicago.  During  the  past  year  the  department  has  expended  about 
$1200  for  the  free  distribution  of  diphtheritic  antitoxin,  tetanus  anti- 
toxin, antimeningitis  serum  and  the  various  bacterins  and  tuberculins, 
cniefly  the  typhoid  hacterin,  and  we  are  of  the  belief  that  great  good 
has  been  accomplished,  both  therapeutically  and  in  the  control  cf  epi- 
demics by  the  use  of  these  products  for  immunizing  purposes. 

WATER  AND  SEWAGE. 

The  division  of  water  and  sewage  for  the  past  year  has  accomplished 
a  large  volume  of  most  important  work.  Our  engineer,  Professor  Hoad, 
and  his  able  assistant,  Mr.  Haskina,  have  devoted  most  of  their  time  dur- 
ing the  past  year  to  this  division  of  the  Board's  work. 

t  am  sure  that  every  member  of  the  Board  will  sincerely  regret  to 
hoar  of  Professor  Hoad's  resignation  as  engineer  for  this  department  and 
as  professor  of  engineering  at  the  University  of  Kansas,  for  his  place 
will  he  difficult  to  fill,  not  only  because  of  his  splendid  qualifications  and 
his  untiring  industry  and  high  ideals,  but  also  because  he  is  now  most 
intimately  familiar  with  the  water  and  sewage  conditions  of  the  entire 
state,  which  knowledge  is,  of  course,  of  very  great  value,  both  to  me  and 
the  department;  yet  I  am  sure  we  will  rejoice  in  his  good  fortune,  which 
comes  to  him  in  increased  salary  and  probably  increased  opportunities 
of  usefulness  in  his  new  field  of  work  in  Michigan.    Personally  the  sec-

In  acconlance  with  the  instructiooB  of  the  Board  at  the  last  meeting, 
on  February  17  the  following  circular  letter  was  sent  to  all  the  BUperin-

"To  Superintendents  of  Watenvorks :  "FBBKOAKY  17,  1812. 

Dear  Sik— At  a  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  held  October 
20,  21,  1911,  a  resolution  was  unanimausiy  adopted  which  requires  that 
both  a  sanitary  analysis  and  a  bacteriological  examination  of  all  water 
supplies  be  made  at  some  time  during  the  year  1912,  such  examinations 
and  analysis  to  be  made  at  the  water  laboratories  of  the  State  Board  of 
Health  at  the  University  of  Kansas,  Lawrence,  Kan. 

"Containers  will  be  sent  for  shipping  samples  upon  application  direct

Aa  indicated  in  my  last  report,  concerning  the  proposed  survey  of  the 
Miasoari  river  by  the  Kansas  commission  in  conjunction  with  the  U-  S. 
Pobtic  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service,  I  am  glad  to  state  that  Dr. 
A.  J.  McLaughlin,  past  assistant  surgeon  of  the  U.  S.  Public  Health  and 
Marine  Hospital  Service,  has  been  detailed  by  the  surgeon-general,  to- 
gether with  an  assistant,  Dr.  John  S.  Bog^:us,  to  make  a  sanitary  surv^ 
of  the  Missouri  river  from  the  Dakotas  to  its  mouth.  This  work  is  now 
under  way,  and  will  be  featured  as  a  joint  work  between  Kansas  and  the 
federal  government.  Much  valuable  data  will  be  secured,  which  must 
sooner  or  later  result  in  adec^uate  protection  from  the  increasing  pollu- 
tion of  the  Missouri  river,  which  is  now  being  used  as  a  source  of  water

FOODS  AND  MtVOS. 

The  work  of  the  division  of  food  and  drugs  has  continued  in  about  the 
same  manner  as  usual,  that  division  being  now  under  the  supervision  of 
the  assistant  chief  food  and  drug  inspector,  Mr.  Tilford,  who  will  make 
a  personal  report  to  the  Board,  giving  the  details  of  the  work  of  that 
division. 

The  food  and  drug  standards  committee  held  a  meeting  in  the  t^ce  of 
the  secretary  on  Wednesday,  May  29,  at  which  representatives  from  the 
Wholesale  Grocers'  Aasociation  were  present.  The  committee  will  make 
its  report  under  the  heading  of  "Committee  Reports." 

It  naving  come  to  the  department's  attention  that  certain  whtriesale 
grocery  houses  in  the  state  were  in  the  habit  of  selling  swelled  canned 
goods  to  hucksters,  bakers  and  others,  who  in  turn  sold  or  utilized  them 
for  food  purposes,  the  department  thought  best  to  issue  a  general  cir- 
cular letter  of  warning  protesting  against  such  practice.  Accordingly, 
on  April  8  the  following  circular  letter  was  issued  and  sent  to  each  whole- 
sale grocer  in  the  state  and  to  wholesale  grocers  doing  business  in  Kansas 
Gi^  and  St.  Joseph: 

"April  8,  1912. 

"To  Wholebale  Grocers:  It  has  recently  come  to  the  notice  of  the 
dqnrtmoit  that  swelled  canned  goods  are  being  sold  by  certain  whole- 
sate  interests  to  hucksters  and  bakers.  While  we  do  not  believe  this 
custom  is  general  among  the  wholesale  dealers,  yet  we  are  constrained 
to  make  this  statement:  that  the  department  will  contest  such  practice 
where  it  may  come  to  our  notice  in  the  future. 

"I  desire  to  also  request  that  you  be  very  sure  that  all  measures  or 
measurbig  devices  be  accurate  before  selling  to  retail  trade.

"May  we  alBO  announce  that  this  department  is  nnt  concerned  in  the 
recent  order  from  other  Bources  prohibiting  the  sale  of  poison  fly  paper, 
our  only  interest  being  in  the-destruction  of  the  house  fly  and  the  pro- 
tection of  food  products  from  contamination  from  these  peats. 

Very  truly  yours,  S.  J.  Cbuubine,  K.  D., 

Chief  Food  and  Drug  Inspector." 

It  will,  no  doubt,  be  of  interest  to  the  Board  to  learn  that  the  plan 
of  the  committee  on  codperation  of  the  State  and  NatitMial  Association  of 
Pood  and  Drug  Control  CMHciala  has  been  duly  promulgated  by  the  De- 
partment  of  Agriculture,  and  thus  the  dreams  of  the  chairman  of  the 
committee,  your  secretary,  have  been  realized.  It  is  hoped  and  believed 
that  this  plan  will  greatly  simplify  and  thus  greatly  add  to  the  efficiency 
of  food  and  drug  control  work,  not  only  in  the  cnforc«nent  of  the 
national  law,  but  in  the  enforcement  of  the  various  qtate  food  and  drug 

The  subdivision  of  hotel  inspection  will  be  fully  reported  1^  Hr.  Til- 
ford,  who  is  in  immediate  charge  of  that  work,  bnt  I  dedre  at  thta  time 
to  again  give  expression  to  my  belief  that  the  enforcement  of  the  hotel 
law  should  be  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  state  labor  commissioner,  who 
has  charge  of  all  other  public  buildings  under  the  general  factory  in- 
spection law. 

ANrrroxiN  niviaiON. 

The  number  of  doses  of  antitoxin  distributed  free  from  this  office 
during  the  past  year  is  203.  Estimating  the  mortality  from  diphtheria 
without  the  use  of  antitoxin  and  the  reduced  mortality  where  antitoxin 
is  used,  which  has  been  very  definitely  worked  out,  both  in  this  country 
and  abroad,  we  arrive  at  the  conclusion  that  the  distribution  of  free  anti- 
toxin this  past  year  has  saved  1S6  tivea. 

It  should  be  noted,  also,  that  the  department  was  able  to  make  ar- 
rangements with  the  Dr.  H.  H.  Alexander  Co.,  whereby  an  Kiormous  sum 
of  money  vrill  be  saved  to  the  people  of  this  state  in  the  reduced  cost  of 
antitoxin  that  is  purchased  on  the  market,  to  say  nothing  abont  the  re- 
duced wholesale  cost  to  the  state.  Formerly  the  following  ^ncee  were 
charged  for  diphtheritic  antitoxin  (which  are  the  uniform  prices  charged 
by  all  manufacturers),  as  compared  with  present  prices: 

No.  1,    1,000  units,  former  price    12.00 

S resent  price 70 
.      ,                 .     ormer  price    6.00 

S resent  price   1 .  60 
nrmer   price    7.  BO 

present  price   2.50 

It  naturally  follows  that  other  manufacturers  wilt  be  forced  to  meet 
these  prices  or  to  suspend  business  in  this  state,  for  diphtheritic  anti- 
toxin IB  standardized  by  the  federal  govemmwit,  and  is  ^erefore  prac- 
tically all  alike.  Just  how  much  money  the  reduction  in  the  price,  of 
diphtheritic  antitoxin,  brought  about  by  this  department,  will  save  the 
people  of  this  state  is  difficult  to  estimate,  as  the  quantitv  sold  is  not 
known,  but  it  is  believed  thai  it  will  amount  to  several  hundred  thousand 
dollars  per  annum. 

It  mfght  not  be  improper  to  remark  at  this  time,  as  in  my  fonner  re- 
port, that  the  objection  occasionally  raised  as  to  the  cost  of  maintaining  this 
department  is  certainly  without  foundation,  as  the  above  is  but  one  of 
numerous  illustrations  of  the  great  economic  value  of  this  department  to 
the  consumers  of  this  state,  not  only  in  the  actual  saving  of  money, 
but  what  is  of  infinitely  greater  importance,  in  being  a  factor,  as  we 
believe,  in  preventing  sickness  and  saving  life.

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  d7 

PDBLlCmr  AND  EDUCATION. 

The  three  years'  atat«-wide  educational  campaign  a^inat  tuberculoeds 
conducted  by  the  State  Board  of  Health  in  this  state  is  about  drawing  to 
a  close.  During  this  time  every  city  of  the  first  and  second  claea  and 
most  of  the  cities  of  the  third  class  have  bem  visited  by  our  traveling 
lecturer,  and  in  all  the  larger  citiee  with  the  exhibit.  The  number  of 
people  who  have  heard  the  lectures  and  seen  the  exhibit,  including  school 
childrai  who  have  heard  one  or  more  lectures,  is  close  to  half  a  million. 
Just  the  amount  of  good  we  have  been  able  to  accomplish  is,  of  course, 
beyond  the  power  of  any  one  to  estimate— only  the  recording  angel  may, 
in  the  days  that  are  to  come,  be  able  te  tabulate  that  information. 

Much  of  the  Board's  literature,  consisting  of  bulletins  and  pamphlets, 
have  been  distributed  through  this  channel.  Stereopticon  and  moving 
pictures  have  been  freely  utiBsed,  while  the  popular  "Almanac"  has  been 
added  to  the  Board's  educational  armamentarium.  Last  of  all,  the  pop- 
ular postcanl  has  hem  utilized  for  the  same  purpose. 

Properly  prepared  newspaper  and  magazine  articles  have  baexi  giv«)  to 
the  press  from  time  to  time,  and  through  this  means  of  publicity  a  wide- 
spread educational  propaganda  has  been  carried  on  most  successfully.  More 
and  more  sanitarians  are  becoming  convinced  that  their  chief  and  great 
est  work  lies  in  the  direction  of  educating  the  people  in  personal  and 
public  hygiene.  Certain  it  is  that  prevention  is  the  only  solution  of  the 
control  and  suppression  of  communicable  diseases,  and  we  have  long  ago 
found  out  that  the  whole  matter  of  quarantine,  er  the  erection  of  legal 
barriers  to  the  advance  of  disease,  does  not,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  actui^ly 
control  the  disease. 

Doctor  Haughey  has  been  asked  to  give  a  report  of  his  gear's  work, 
which  I  am  sure  will  be  found  very  instructive  and  ''nteresting. 

As  a  part  of  the  educational  propaganda  of  the  State  Board  of  Health, 
ihv  second  annual  summer  school  for  health  officers  and  physicians  will 
be  convened  at  the  University  at  Lawrence,  June  lO-lQ,  inclusive,  and 
we  have  advance  assurances  of  a  very  large  att^idance.  Stnmgdy 
enough,  application  from  a  physician  in  Missouri  has  been  received,  ask- 
ing permission  to  attend  the  putiuner  school,  and  the  Journal  of  the 
A.  M.  A.  has  thought  the  matter  of  Bufficimt  interest  and  importance  to 
Gpeak  of  it  editorially  in  an  encouraging  manner. 

GENERAL. 

Following  the  letter  addressed  to  the  general  managers  of  the  Rock 
Island  and  Santa  Fe  railway  companies  as  to  the  housing  and  sanitary 
conditions  of  Mexican  laborers  found  in  the  city  of  Wichita,  I  received 
replies  from  those  railways,  which  are  as  follows:

conditions  of  Mexican  laborers  at  Wichita,  Kan. 

"Our  general  superintendent  and  superintendent  have  made  a  personal 
inspection  of  the  buildings  occupied  by  Mexicans  en  our  right  of  way  at 
Wichita,  and  we  have  arrangea  to  take  the  necessary  action  to  improve 
such  conditions  so  far  as  the  facilities  on  our  own  right  of  way  aro 
concerned.  We  will  arrange  to  build  houses  for  these  Mexican  laborers, 
concMitrating  them  in  about  three  locations,  and  will  improve  the  sanitarv 
conditions.  The  houses  which  we  will  build  can  be  kept  clean  and  we  will 
try  to  have  the  laborers  occupying  them  do  so.  Of  course  we  can  not 
undarialro  to  govern  eonditions  where  men  reside  off  our  right  of  way.

conditions  in  box-car  bodfeB  set  along  right  of  way  of  this  cranpany  for 
the  accommodation  of  Mexican  laborers. 

"The  only  way  that  conditions  may  be  materially  improved  is  to  force

with  me  that  this  is  a  rather  difficult  undertaking.  The  standard  of  livinf

After  a  reasonable  length  of  time  another  survey  will  be  made  of 
these  conditions,  and  if  the  railroads  have  not  complied  with  oar  request 
such  action  will  be  taken  as  in  the  opinion  of  the  attorney-general  onr

Sixtk  Biennial  Report.  99 

"StaU  Board  of  Heaitk,  StaU  of  KansM,  Topeka,  Katuat.: 

"Gentleuen — I  would  suggest  that  you  order  every  railroad  in  th« 
state  to  equip  all  of  their  cabooses  with  drinking  water  coolers  having 
faucets  or  spigots  so  that  the  coolers  may  be  kept  closed  and  the  water 
drawn  into  drinking  eups  without  dipping  the  cup  into  the  water.  As 
it  is  now  they  fumi^  a  k^  with  a  lid  to  it.  When  anybody  wants  a  drink 
they  raise  the  lid  and  reach  down  in  the  keg  and  dip  up  the  water,  and 
in  doing  so  they  goierally  put  a  part  or  all  of  their  hands  in  the  water, 
and  of  course  they  scrape  their  sleeves  over  the  edge  of  the  keg  and  rattle 
off  such  dust  or  dirt  or  filth  as  may  be  mi  their  clothing.  Men  working 
with  cattle  or  hogs  or  sheep  or  horses  come  into  the  caboose  all  dirty 
and  sweating  and  ram  their  dirty  hands  and  filthy  sleeves  into  the  drinking 
water.  Most  everyiwdy  that  carries  their  own  drinking  cup  carry  the 
collapsible  kind,  and  it  is  impossible  for  them  to  dip  water  out  of  a  keg 
Without  getting  a  part  of  their  hands  in  the  water. 

<^he  public  drinking  cup  is  n't  in  it  with  the  public  drinldDg^wnter  lag 
where  everybody  that  may  be  riding  on  the  train,  and  the  loafers  around 
depots  and  others,  wash  their  hands  in  the  drinking  water. 

Very  truly,  Conductor." 

Assurances  have  been  received  from  the  railroads   in   Kansas  that 
proper  water  'containers  would  be  provided,  furnished  with  a  faucet  or 
spigot,  which  would  correct  the  insanitary  condition  complained  of. 
'  More  recently  the  following  tetter  was  addressed  to  the  managers  of 
all  the  railroads  in  Kansas: 

"ToFKKA,  Kan.,  May  11,  1912. 

"Dear  Sir— Will  you  please  to  fumlah  this  department  with  the  fol- 
lowing information: 

"(1)  At  what  points  in  this  state  are  passenger  coaches  supplied 
with  water  for  drinking  purposes.  Kindly  indicate  at  each  place  whether 
or  not  it  is  city  water  that  is  being  used  or  water  from  your  own  plant. 

"(2)  At  what  points  in  this  state  is  ice  supplied  for  cooling  water  in 
passenger  coaches?  Kindly  indicate  the  method  of  handling  such  ice.  Do

This  information  has  been  requested  because  of  certain  known  practices 
of  railroad  companies  which  would  necessarily  pollute  even  the  safest  and 
most  wholesome  ice-water  supplies,  together  with  the  fact  that  in  a  num- 
ber of  instances  natural  ice  is  being  used.  Replies  to  this  letter  have  not 
yet  been  received  from  all  the  railroads. 

In  adition  to  this  information  I  have  requested  Professor  Sherwood,  of 
the  University,  to  secure  samples  of  water  direct  from  the  ice-water 
coolers  of  all  the  railraads  operating  in  Kansas  that  enter  the  union  sta- 
tion at  Kansas  City,  as  well  as  samples  from  all  the  passenger  trains 
entering  the  city  of  Wichita,  making  bacterial  count,  and  also  making  the 
test  for  B.  coli.  Waters  from  such  roads  as  are  not  sampled  at  these  two 
points  will  be  taken  up  at  such  points  as  can  be  reached.  It  is  believed 
th«t  with  information  from  the  railroads  thus  secured,  together  with 
actual  bacteriological  data  as  to  the  character  of  the  water  being  sup- 
plied to  patrons  of  the  railroads  in  this  state,  we  will  have  the  basis  for 
putting  into  effective  operation  such  rules  and  regulations  as  will  assure 
the  traveling  public  a  safe  and  wholesome  water  supply.  It  is  hoped  that 
these  reports  will  be  complete  and  ready  to  be  submitted  to  you,  with 
recommendations,  at  our  neiEt  quarterly  meeting.

100  state  Board  of  Health. 

Early  this  spring  the  PollTnan  Company  had  cards  priated  and  posted 
in  all  the  PnUman  cars  operating  in  this  and  other  statea,  baUetining  the 
tmt  that  the  porter  would  furnish  a  glass  for  drinldng,  upon  reqaeBt  t» 
any  patron  d«s)riog  to  eecure  it.  It  was  asaiuned  that  this  would  be  a 
clean  glsas,  and  that  the  porter  would  thoroughly  wa^h  and  cleanse  it  be- 
fore returning  it  to  the  loirker.  Believing  this  to  be  in  violation  of  Uw 
regulation  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  and  also  believing  and  knowing 
that  the  order  of  the  Pullman  Company  was  not  being  properly  carried 
out,  a  letter  was  submitted  to  the  company  through  its  sanitarian.  Dr. 
Thranas  R.  Crowder,  advising  them  of  the  above  facts,  which  were  after- 
wards satisfactorily  adjusted. 

In  order  to  test  out  the  degree  of  efficiency  of  disinfection  as  practiced 
by  our  health  oflicerB  throughout  the  state,  arrangements  were  made  with 
Prof.  T.  H.  Boughtan,  of  the  University,  to  prepare  inoculated  threads 
that  might  be  sent  out  in  properly  prepared  envelopes,  to  be  used  as  a 
check  on  the  efficiency  of  disinfectants.  This  was  done,  and  the  following 
circular,  letter  sent  to  Health  officers,  accompanying  a  package  of  these 
supplies : 
"To  County  and  Municipal  Health  Officers: 

"In  order  that  you  and  we  may  have  positive  information  as  to  the 
efficiency  of  our  methods  of  disinfection  and  the  kind  af  disinfectant 
used,  J  have  requested  Prof.  T.  H.  Houghton,  of  the  University  medical 
school,  to  prepare  a  method  whereby  that  knowledge  may  with  cer- 
tainty be  obtained. 

"Accordingly  I  am  enclosing  you  material  for  making  these  tests, 
which  should  be  made  in  the  regular  course  of  your  disinfection  of  places 
in  the  discharge  of  your  duties  as  health  officer. 

"Complete  directions  are  on  the  small  envelopes  for  placing  the  inoc- 
ulated threads,  unremoved  from  the  folded  paper,  at  various  places  about 
the  room  to  be  disinfected.  Please  to  All  out  all  of  the  blank  spaces  on 
the  envelope  in  which  they  are  to  be  enclosed  after  exposure,  enclosing  all 
in  turn  in  the  large  official  envelope  to  Che  University  of  Kansas  Labora- 

"We  express  the  hope  for  your  enthusiastic  codperation  in  this  work. 
Very  truly  yours.  S,  J.  ChuMBINE,  M.  D-.  Secretary." 

Professor  Boughton  has  not  yet  sufficiently  completed  the  work  to 
draw  any  general  conclusions,  inasmuch  as  a  considerable  number  of  the 
inoculated  threads  used  in  disinfecting  have  not  yet  beei  returned  to 
the  laboratories,  and  in  a  number  of  instances  the  data  was  not  suf- 


"That  the  tests  thus  far  have  shown  neither  a  di<)tinctly  satisfactory 
-ox  a  distinctly  unsatisfactory  condition  in  the  manner  and  method  of  dis- 
infection that  is  now  practiced." 

On  March  23  your  secretary  was  honored  with  the  privilege  of  giving 
;an  address  on  "Public  Health^'  at  Pierre,  the  capital  of  South  Dakota. 
Many  of  the  state  officials,  including  the  governor,  his  private  secretary 
and  members  of  the  supreme  court,  attended  the  meeting,  and  it  is  h(q>ed 
that  some  good,  at  least,  may  have  been  accomplished. 

Doctor  Lerrigo  represented  this  department  at  the  annual  conferettce 
of  the  state  and  territorial  boards  of  health  with  the  surgeon-general, 
held  in  Washington,  June  Ist. 

No  doubt  Doctor  Lerrigo  will  give  a  detailed  report  of  the  conferetM* 
^t  the  next  quarterly  meeting. 

"Hve  rules  and  regulations  formulated  by  the  State  Board  of  Embalm- 
ing, and  submitted  to  the  State  Board  of  Health  by  mail  through  the 
secertary,  were  unanimously  adopted  by  the  manbere  of  the  BMrd  bf 
letter,  but  thejr  are  herewith  presented  to  yon  for  formal  adc^tioR  at 
the  annual  meeting.

Application  is  before  the  departmoit  for  the  approval  of  the  Bo-called 
"Thornton  device"  for  sterilizing  slaBGes  which  can  be  used  in  place  of 
the  common  drinking  cup  in  hotels  and  other  pnblic  places.  While  we 
have  made  no  bacteriological  teat  of  the  efficiency  of  this  device,  yet  it 
seems  to  have  been  worked  out  by  other  known  bacteriologists  and  to 
have  proven  satisfactory,  I  would,  therefore,  reconim«id  that  the  Thorn- 
ton device  be  approved  and  be  permitted  to  be  used  in  public  places  in 
lieu  of  the  common  drinking  cup.  Perhaps  another  reason  why  it  would 
be  the  part  of  wisdom  to  approve  this  device  is,  the  constant  difficulty 
we  find  in  enforcing  the  regulation  in  the  hotels  in  this  state.  Naturall; 
these  hotels  are  inspected  only  at  long  intervals,  and  the  regulation  may 
go  unheeded  for  months  at  a  time  without  the  knowledge  of  the  depArt- 
ment.  If,  therefore,  some  safe  substitute  can  be  fonnd,  it  would  seem 
to  be  wise  to  permit  Uie  use  of  such  a  substitute. 

CONCLDSIOKS. 

All  together,  the  past  year's  work  of  this  department  has  been  fairly 
satisfactory  in  the  amount  and  kind  of  work  accomplished,  and  while 
rather  strenuous  at  times,  has  as  a  rule  been  both  pleasant  and  in- 
teresting. 

The  usual  duties  of  the  secretary,  combined  with  those  of  the  dean 
of  the  school  of  medicine  and  as  a  member  of  the  advisory  commission  of 
the  state  tuberculosis  sanatorium,  have  kept  him  more  than  moderately 
busy;  and  yet  I  think  it  is  the  experience  of  every  one  who  has  «i- 
larged  opportunities  for  usefulness  that  even  if  it  means  more  work, 
there  are  compensations.  I  can  not  close  this  report  without  expreaaing 
my  keenest  appreciation  for  the  admirable  support  and  help  givoi  me 
by  my  office  force.  Who  could  not  work  with  vim  and  oiconraganeit 
under  the  pleasant  conditions  in  which  I  live!  No  less  satisfying  is  the 
knowledge  that  every  member  of  the  office  force  is  very  much  inter- 
ested and  alive  to  the  work  of  the  department.  On  more  than  one 
occasion  that  interest  has  been  manifested  in  a  way  that  is  unmistakable. 
Respectfully  submitted.  S.  J.  Cbumbine,  M.  D.,

Sixth  Biennial  Report. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE  STATE 
BOARD  OF  HEALTH, 


The  annual  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  convened 
in  the  office  of  the  secretary  at  two  o'clock  P.  M.,  June  6.  AH 
the  members  of  the  Board  were,  present  excepting  Doctors 
W.  O.  Thompson  and  Charles  H.  Lerrigo.  All  the  members 
of  the  advisory  board  were  present  excepting  Professors  F.  0. 
Marvin  and  E.  H.  S.  Bailey.  The  only  member  of  the  con- 
ferees present  was  Mr.  J.  A.  Kimball. 

The  minutes  of  the  last  quarterly  meeting  were  read  and 
approved  and  ordered  placed  on  file,  after  which  the  secre- 
tary made  his  annual  report  of  the  work  of  the  Board  for  the 
past  year,  whereupon  the  president  took  up  the  recom- 
mendations made  in  the  secretary's  report. 

The  Board  concurred  in  the  secretary's  effort  to  secure  some 
effective  means  and  measures  adopted  by  the  packing  houses 
of  the  state,  whereby  effective  physical  examination  of  all 
employees  handling  food  products  shall  be  made  to  determine 
whether  or  not  such  employees  are  free  from  infectious  dis- 
eases, especially  tuberculosis,  and  that  such  examination 
should  be  made  semiannually,  and  instructed  the  secretary  to 
continue  his  efforts  in  that  direction. 

The  Board  unanimously  approved  of  the  circular  letter  sent 
out  to  wholesale  grocers  under  date  of  April  8  condemning 
the  use  of  ao-called  "swells"  in  canned  food  products. 

The  Board  indorsed  the  action  of  the  secretary  as  outlined 
in  Uie  correspondence  between  Dr.  Thomas  R.  Crowder,  su- 
perintendent of  sanitation  for  the  Pullman  Company,  and  the 
department,  to  tJie  effect  that  the  common  cup  or  glass  can 
not  be  supplied  to  patrons  on  trains  upon  request  of  porter. 

The  Board  unanimously  adopted  the  resolutions  offered  at 
the  annual  meeting  of  state  and  territorial  health  authorities 
with  the  Public  Health  and  Marine  Hospital  Service,  at  Wash- 
ington, June  1,  which  resolutions  are  as  follows : 

"1.  That  the  health  authorities  of  the  states,  territories,  and  insular 
poaseesions  of  tiie  United  States,  including  the  District  of  Columbia,  shall

Service  immediately,  by  tdegraph  (collect)  and  letter,  upon  the  occur-

"(d)    Those  in  which  no  definite  histary  is  to  be  obtain^ 

"4.  That  in  reporting  the  occurrence  of  cases  of  leprosy  such  data

"II.  In  reference  to  the  communication  from  bottlers  regarding  imita- 
tion diluted  fruit  juicea,  the  standards  committee  recommeiul  that  para- 
graphs 6  and  7,  section  F,  beverages,  r^nain  unchanged." 

Doctor  Haughey,  of  the  tuberculosis  exhibit,  submitted  the 
following  report : 
To  the  Honorable  State  Board  of  Health: 

I  desire  to  submit  the  report  of  the  tuberculosia  lectures  from  Novem- 
ber, 1911,  up  to  the  present  date. 

Prior  to  June,  1911,  practically  all  county-seat  towns  had  been  visited 
by  Doctor  £mley  with  the  tuberculosis  exhibit,  ao  that  very  few  towns 
over  1000  remained  to  be  visited,  and  as  the  exhibit,  because  of  its  size, 
necessitated  at  least  two  days  in  order  to  set  up  exhibit  and  then  tear 
down  Doctor  Crumbine  decided  it  would  not  be  advisable  to  carry  the 
exhibit  bi  viriting  towns  of  from  400  to  800  population. 

So  the  work  this  year  has  consisted  in  a  lecture  of  approximately  two 
hours'  duration  on  "Tuberculosis,  its  Cause,  Prevention  and  Cure,"  a 
part  of  tile  lecture  being  illustrated  with  stereopticon  vlewB  and  moving 
pictures.  In  this  way  we  were  able  to  reach  many  more  people  and 
cover  a  much  larger  territory  than  could  possibly  have  been  covered 
while  carrying  the  exhibit. 

Since  the  first  of  January,  1912,  th::re  has  been  added  to  the  equipment 
o»e  new  Edison  moving-pieture  machine  and  one  new  film  of  moving 
pictures  entitled  "The  Awakening  of  John  Bond."  f^ving  us  three 
films  available  for  aee  in  the  work,  so  at  the  present  tmie  we  have  an 
unusually  fine  equipment,  making  possible  as  fine  an  exhibit  of  motion 

Cires  as  can  be  seen  in  any  city.  These  motion  pictures,  which  have 
featured  in  the  advertismg  matter,  have  been  an  important  factor 
in  drawing  the  large  crowds  which  have  everywhere  been  in  attendance 
at  the  lectures. 

Bxce]»t  on  oae  or  two  occasions,  a  remarkable  amount  of  interest  has 
been  shown,  not  only  in  this  campaign  against  the  "great  white  plague," 
bnt  in  the  work  of  this  Beard  along  all  lines  for  the  betterment  of  public 
health,  and  generally  we  have  received  hearty  coGperation  from  everyone 
with  whom  we  have  ctane  in  contact. 

With  the  possible  exception  of  one  doun  towns,  every  city  and  village 
of  400  or  over  in  this  state  has  been  visited  or  has  been  ofl^ered  the 
leetara;  in  a  few  instances,  on  account  of  some  previous  attraction  the 
city  (teuld  not  arrange  for  Oie  date  offered,  and  wherever  possible  such 
.towns  were  visited  later.  .  ,  ,  „ 

One  lecture  a  day  for  the  public  wag  given  at  eight  p.  m.,  generally 
in  the  largest  public  hall  in  the  city,  and  at  these  evening  meetmgs  the 
hall  was  generally  taxed  to  hold  the  crowds  assembled,  standing  room

The  work  should  be  continued  until  everyone  in  the  state  Am  had  ui

can  hope  to  cope  with  the  dreaded  disease. 

Appreciating  the  interest  being  shown  and  the  necessity  for  the  cwi- 
tmuation  of  this  work,  I  close  this  report  with  a  plea  for  an  approptia-

ANNUAL  REPORT  TO  STATE  BOARD  OP  HEALTH.

The  samples  analyzed  for  the  State  Board  of  Health  have  probably  not 
been  as  numerous  the  past  year  as  in  some  of  the  prerioue  ones.  As  in 
previous  years,  considerable  time  has  been  given  to  research  work  in 
connection  with  the  food  analyses. 

The  tests  made  include  six  samples  of  batter,  77  of  milk,  41  of  evapo- 
rated milk,  50  of  ice  cream,  5  of  meat,  27  of  lard,  20  of  oysters.  25  of 
mincemeat,  6  of  flour,  2  of  gluten  flour,  12  of  buckwheat  flour,  2  (rf 
whole  wheat  flour,  20  of  graham  flour,  8  of  lye  flour,  22  of  pies  and  pie 
fillers,  10  of  canned  pears,  4  of  canned  tomatoes,  8  of  canned  com,  16  of 
ketchups,  IE  of  pickles  and  relishes,  S  of  cider,  60  of  vin^:ar,  16  of 
extracts,  and  24  miscellaneous  samples. 

The  research  concerning  the  molds,  yeasts,  bacteria,  etc.,  in  commercial 
ketchup  has  been  continued.  I  would  recommend  that  a  standard  be 
established  cuiceming  this  article. 

Investigation  was  conducted  upon  a  method  of  determining  the  fat  in 
condensed  milk. 

An  investigation  was  conducted  on  a  method  of  ascertaining  whethfr 
graham  flour  as  put  upon  tiie  market  is  true  to  name,  or  whether  it  con- 
sists of  some  sort  of  an  artiflcial  mixture  of  bran,  shorts,  low-grade  flour, 
-'-'      This  investigation  is  not  entirely  completed,  bat  haa  gelded  very 


system  of  sifting,  accompanied  by  an  exaroinaticai  of  the  parts  separated 
to  see  whether  Uiey  are  of  a  character  that  would  be  produced  by  Bimple 
grinding,  such  as  would  be  done  with  the  genuine  graham,  or  wheuer 


they  have  the  characteristics  of  the  flniehed  by-products  of  ordinary  ' 
milling. 

An  investigation  is  also  in  progress  to  discover  a  means  by  which  to 
pass  upon  mincemeat  with  reference  to  the  percentage  of  meat  present 
This  is  baaed  upon  the  percentage  of  nitrogen  in  tiie  mincemeat,  and 
results  thus  far  are  very  encouraging. 

Mr.  Utt  has  been  called  upon  to  testify  in  six  court  cases. 

Respectfnlly  submitted.  J.  T.  Wiujued. 

Professor  Sayre,  dragr  analyst,  then  followed  with  his  report, 
as  follows : 

DRUG  LABORATORY  REPORT. 

During  the  year  beg^inning  April,  1911,  six  hundred  samples  have  been 
examined  in  the  drug  laboratory.  Besides  the  official  prMtaratiooB.  such 
as  ointments,  tinctures,  elixirs,  liniments,  etc.,  about  fifty  mm^les  of 
linseed  oil,  several  samples  of  turpentine,  fifteen  samples  of  intoxicating 
beverages,  samples  of  coffee,  spices,  patent  medicines  and  insecticides 
have  twen  examined.  The  drug  laboratory  has  aim  been  called  upon  in 
eight  cases  of  suspected  poisoning. 

Most  of  the  samples  were  sent  in  by  the  drug  inspectors,  but  many

-samples  h&ve  been  received  at  the  laboratory  directly  from  the  person 
interested,  or,  in  not  a  few  instances,  from  the  parties  indirectly,  throngfa 
other  departments  of  the  university. 

Special  attention  has  been  given,  dnrins  the  last  three  months,  to 
work  on  linseed  oil.  About  40  per  cent  oi  the  samples  of  linseed  oil 
picked  up  at  random  by  the'  inspectors  were  foimd  to  be  adulterated, 
while  practically  all  Bamples  that  were  picked  up  because  of  their  sus- 
picious appearance  were  found  to  be  adulterated.  The  insecticides  were 
-examined  more  for  the  purpose  of  determining  their  efficiency  ratiier 
than  their  composition.  In  the  cases  of  suspected  poisoning,  the  experi* 
ence  of  our  laboratory  has  been  like  many  other  chemical  taboratorfes — 
that  the  idea  of  the  presence  of  poison  was  due  to  the  unhealthy  im- 
agination of  some  individual.  However,  Uiis  ie  not  always  true,  and 
rather  serious  cases  of  poisoning  have  come  under  our  investigation.  As 
a  factor  in  the  enforcement  of  the  prohibitory  law,  the  drug  laboratory 
has  received  and  passed  upon  several  samples  of  intoxicating  beverages; 
this  class  of  samples  being  received  from  city  he&lth  officers,  prose- 
cuting attorneys,  and  others  interested  in  the  enforcement  of  the  pro- 
hibitory law.  Samples  of  this  nature  are  sent  more  and  more  each  year 
through  the  regular  channels  of  the  State  Board  of  Health. 

Doctor  Greenfield,  bacteriologist,  made  the  following  report:

Professor  Jackson  submitted  an  oral  report  on  the  work  of 
the  food  laboratories  at  the  Univeraity. 

Professor  Sherwood  made  a  partial  report  on  the  examina- 
tion of  drinking  water  on  railroad  trains,  and  the  Board,  upon 
motion,  instructed  the  continuance  of  the  work  until  completed. 

Doctors  Sippy  and  Kenney,  who  have  been  doing  special 
work  for  the  State  Board  of  Health  in  the  enforcement  of  the 
tuberculosis  notification  law  and  in  studying  the  incfdents  of 
the  disease  in  cities  of  the  first  dass,  made  interesting  and 
Taluable  reports  of  their  work,  stating  that  written  reports 
would  be  made  later. 

AdjtHimment  was  then  made  until  nine  o'clock  A.  M.,  June  7.

StaU  Board  of  HeaUh. 


The  Board  met  in  the  office  of  the  secretary,  Friday  momins:, 
June  7,  a  quorum  being  present,  when  the  subject  of  swelled 
canned  groods  came  up  for  discussion. 

The  special  committee  on  headache  preparations  then  made 
its  report,  which,  upon  motion,  duly  seconded,  was  adopted  utd 
ordered  published  in  the  Bulletin,  and  it  was  so  published  in 
the  June  issue. 

Professor  Hoad,  engineer,  made  his  report  for  the  division 
of  water  and  sewage. 

The  special  committee  on  time  limit  for  quarantine  of  scarlet 
fever  made  its  report  as  follows : 
To  the  State  Board  of  Health: 

(^NTLBMEN — W«,  jTOur  committee  appointed  to  consider  a  miiumum 
quarantine  for  cases  of  scarlet  fever,  beg  leave  to  report  the  following: 

We  recommend  that  minimum  of  absolute  quarantine  be  fixed  at  twer^- 
ei^ht  days,  and  that  a  further  modified  quarantine  of  ten  days  be  main- 
tamed,  in  which  patient  shall  not  be  permitted  to  attend  school  or  oOier 
public  places. 

Whereupon  the  report  was  unanimously  adopted  and  ordered 
to  be  published,  and  it  was  published  in  the  June  Bulletin. 

The  Board,  under  the  provisions  of  the  law,  being  empowered 
to  fix  the  salary  of  employees  under  the  vital  statistics  law, 
fixed  the  salary  of  the  state  registrar  at  $2100  per  annum, 
beginning  July  1,  1912. 

The  reports  of  the  special  committees  on  inspection  of 
state  institutions  were  then  made,  the  first  being  made  by 
chairman,  Doctor  Walker,  on  the  Mother  Bickerdyke  Home, 
the  Girls'  Industrial  School  at  Beloit,  and  the  State  Norm^ 
School  at  Hays. 

Doctor  Alexander  then  gave  report  on  the  state  penitentiaiy 
at  Lansing,  as  follows : 
To  the  state  Board  of  HeaUh: 

Genti^hen — Your  committee,  appointed  to  investigrate  the  sanitary 
condition  of  the  penitentiary  at  Lansing,  visited  that  institntion  on  Fri- 
day, May  24,  and  hand  you  herewith  report  of  inspection  made  tm  tkMt 

Arriving  just  before  the  dinner  hour,  we  first  invostigated  the  dining 
room  and  kitchen,  and,  of  courae,  the  food.  The  last  was  apparcnUv 
abundant,  well  cooked  and  nutritious,  while  an  examination  of  the  bOtt 
of  fare  for  several  successive  days  revealed  such  ctuuigres,  trom  tim«  ta 
time,  as  to  afford,  on  the  whole,  a  well-balanced  ration.  The  dining  rooai 
and  kitchoi  are  well  kept  for  the  most  part,  but  flies  were  a  little  too 
numerous,  and  a  little  closer  attention  to  screens  was  recommended.  Tbt 
floors  are  of  cement,  rough  of  surface,  and  divided  mto  sqoares  by  th» 
usual  unsightly  and  uncleanable  gashes.  Evidently,  reaaonaMe  efforts  are 
put  forth  to  keep  this  surface  clean,  but  for  all  that  it  looks  dirty,  as 
doubtless  it  would  after  any  amount  of  scrubbing. 

Your  committee  advised  the  use  of  a  good  cement  paint.  This  would 
fill  the  cracks  betwerai  the  blocks  and  make  the  whole  floor  smoother  nod 
therefore  more  easily  cleaned.  We  found  the  cell  houses  well  kept  and 
well  voitilated,  but  the  cells  themselves  dark,  practically  stmteas,  awl 
altogether  too  near  the  idea  of  the  ancient  dungeon  to  conform  ta  tbtt 
standards  of  modem  civilization.

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  109 

Moreover,  there  is  no  plumbing,  Kiid  no  conveniencee  such  as  a  man, 
even  a  criminal  man,  confined  in  a  apace  4x7  feet  in  size  ought  to  hftve. 
There  is  only  one  wajr  to  core  this  and  that  is  to  tear  them  down  and 
faoild  new  ones  inside  the  wails.  There  is  a  large  room  at  the  top  of  the 
nine  shaft,  called,  for  some  nnexplained  reason,  the  "cap  room"  (per- 
haps because  it  caps  or  covers  the  top  of  the  mine  shaft).  In  it  are 
some  long  benches,  several  hogsheads  of  water  and  a  large  number  of 
trwdt  pans.  This  combination  enables  the  miners,  as  they  come  np  from 
tbcdr  work,  to  rinse  from  their  bodies  the  dirt  and  coal  dust  which  ac- 
cmnulatAs  during  the  day.  This,  with  whatever  waste  matter  comes 
from  their  bodies,  falls  to  the  floor,  where  it  wand«rs  about  or  stands  in 
im^ar  poote  in  a  not  altogether  pleasing  way  among  the  rough  and 
irr^nJar  stales  of  which  the  floor  is  composed.  Surely  this  is  distinctly 
tauKoitary,  and  the  fact  that  it  is  only  the  top  of  a  coal  mine  is  no 
geod  reason  why  such  a  condition  should  exist.  Let  it  be  torn  up  and  a 
properly  laid  cement  floor  take  its  place. 

The  woman's  building  ia  new  and  therefore  modem  and  up-to-date  to 
a  decree — that  is  to  say,  the  cells  are  larger  and  there  is  very  good 
plumbing.  Bat  the  cells  have  no  outside  windows  and  bedbugs  are 
tronbleHome.  These  last  are  said  to  be  brought  in  by  new  prisoners,  and 
doubtless  many  are,  but  there  must  be  some  natives,  since  it  is  admitted 
that  there  are  many  breeding  places — as  around  the  doors  and  between 
bricks  on  the  wall.  It  would  seem  that  by  the  exercise  of  a  little  per- 
sistence this  condition  might  be  corrected.  The  kitchen  and  dining  room 
seem  to  be  all  right,  except  that  there  is  too  much  rusty  tinware  and 
battered  and  dingy  blue  granite.  Both  ought  to  be  replaced  by  new 
whitfi  granite  war& 

The  hospital  is  unsatisfactory  as  to  arrangement  and  wholly  inade- 

rte  as  to  the  needs  of  the  institution,  but  as  effective  as  possible  under 
circumstances.  A  new  hospital  should  be  buitt,  and  becanae  the 
number  of  tubercular  patients  is  small,  and  likely  to  remain  so,  tix 
problem  of  their  care  could  be  easily  solved  by  building  a  pavilion  on 
theroof  communicating  with  a  tuberculous  section  of  the  building  hav- 
ing'no  direct  connection  with  the  rest  of  the  hospital. 

About  the  only  thin^  to  interfere  with  this  roof  pavilion  idea  is  the 
amoke  from  the  big  chimneys,  but  this  can  be  easily  remedied  by  build- 
ing the  chimneys  higher,  a  thing  which  ought  to  be  done  anyway,  for 
the  good  of  all  connected  with  the  plant.  We  believe  the  increase  in 
hei^t  should  be  not  less  than  tw^ity  feet. 

The  water  supply  of  the  institution  is  from  wells  on  the  river  bottnn, 
located  at  a  point  where  there  is  no  danger  of  overflow,  and  appears  to 
be  oitirel^  satisfactory  both  in  quantity  and  quality. 

There  is  a  well-built  dairy  bam  on  the  grounds.  It  has  too  few 
wmdows,  and  is,  therefore,  a  bit  dark.  Whether  this  is  due  to  a  mis- 
calculation on  the  part  of  the  builders,  or  the  result  of  a  deliberate  de- 
ri^n  to  make  the  interior  less  attractive  to  flies  (an  old  idea)  is  not 
known.  But  in  any  event,  with  our  better  modem  ways  of  disposal  of 
the  fly  nuisance,  a  few  more  windows  would  be  a  decided  improvemoit. 
Even  so,  there  are  too  many  flies  about;  a  condition,  however,  which  is 
to  be  remedied  by  a  more  frequent  removal  of  the  manure. 

Taken  as  a  whole,  your  committee  finds  the  condition  of  the  peni- 
toitiary  most  commendable  and  a  credit  to  the  zeal  and  ^ood  judgment 
of  those  in  authority.  Many  things  were  noted,  some  of  them  having 
no  direct  bearing  on  health  matters,  which  we  believe  mark  a  distinct 
advance  in  prison  management.  Yet  some  of  these,  such  as  the  daily  half 
boBT  of  baseball  and  other  recreations,  are  surdy  conducive  to  good 
health.  Moreover,  in  these  games  the  prisoners  are  to  an  extent  put 
npon  honor,  so  that  physical  force  and  moral  stamina  are  boUi  cul- 
tivated at  the  same  time.  Another  feature  which  is  not  without  some- 
thing to  commend  it  is  fleld  work  (gardening)  for  women.  This  is  not 
compulsory,  but  is  gladly  taken  by  many  prisoners  as  a  relief  from  the 
monotony  of  the  sewing  room.     A  night  school  with  a  good  attendance

18  conducted,  and  ia  highly  appreciated  by  many,  and  is  surely  a  great 
factor  in  the  fitting  of  raoi  to  lead  respectable  lives  after  release. 

One  interesting  thing  about  the  institution,  which  is  not  gmeiall? 
known,  is  its  relation  to  the  local  government  of  the  village  of  Lannn& 
The  town  which  has  grown  up  about  the  peoitcntiary  contains  a  pop- 
ulation  of  about  1200  and  has  never  been  incorporated.  It  is,  of  coune, 
under  the  usual  township  government,  but  this  is  insufficient  for  all  the 
needs  of  such  an  aggregation  of  people,  and  so  the  wardoi,  by  conmun 
consent,  is  acting  nuiyor  of  the  city.  Does  some  thoughtless  or  ovet^ 
wrought  individual  disturb  the  peace  of  its  citizens?  They  telephone  the 
warden,  who  promptly  responds  with  the  indicated  remedy.  Tbroo^ 
him,  also,  the  predatory  cow,  the  insecure  sidewalk,  and  the  rest  of  vt 
usual  village  nuisances  are  abated.  In  like  manner,  he  puts  out  thar 
fires,  advises  them  about  their  wat«r  supply  and  their  street  grades,  ind, 
in  general,  exercises  a  paternal  overai^t  of  the  villagers  and  thor 
affairs;  and  the  arrangement  appears  to  work  well  and  to  satisfy  the 
people;  for  though  they  have  repeatedly  been  urged  to  incoiporate,  thej 
still  cling  to  the  simpler  way.  So,  if  they  are  satisfied,  and  if  the  villaee 
and  penitentiary  can  work  together  to  tike  advantage  of  both,  who  shall 
object?  B.  J.   Alezakdbi.

Whereupon,  followinjf  the  reading  of  the  reports  of  instita- 
tion  inspections,  the  Board,  upon  motion,  instructed  that  copies 
be  sent  to  the  heada  of  the  state  institutions  inspected,  which 
has  been  done. 

The  annual  election  of  officers  was  then  taken  up,  which 
resulted  in  the  following : 

For  President  for  the  ensuing  year,  Dr.  H.  L.  Aldrich,  of 
Caney. 

For  Vice  President,  Dr.  V.  C.  Eddy,  of  Colby.

Upon  motion,  the  present  members  of  the  advisory  board 
were  all  reelected  for  the  ensuing  year. 

Upon  motion,  additional  members  of  the  advisory  board  were 
elected,  namely.  Prof.  F.  W.  Blackmar,  sociologist,  and  Mr.

Sixth  Biennial  Report. 


DIVISION  OF  FOOD  AND  DRUGS. 
CovKRjNo  Pejum)  nioM  January  1, 19H,  to  July  l,  1912. 

To   THE    SECKBTAKY    OP   THE    STATE    BOARD    OF    HEALTH— This    report, 

covering  the  work  of  the  food  and  drug  division  of  the  department  WT 
the  State  Board  of  Health,  includeB  all  of  the  work  coming  under  the 
food  and  drug  law  and  the  sanitary  law,  covering  the  handling  of  these 

firoducts,  together  with  tiie  weights  and  measures  and  hotd  law  and 
inaeed  oil,  enforcement  of  which  is  with  this  department. 

FOOD  AND  DRU08. 

The  work  for  this  time,  coming  directly  under  the  food  and  drug  law, 
shows  approximat«ly  the  same  volume  of  work  being  done  by  the  depart- 
ment as  for  the  preceding  two  years.  During  1911  there  were  10,419 
inspections  reported  by  the  inspectors,  records  of  which  are  permanently 
filed.  This  does  not  include  hundreds  of  minor  inspections  and  complaints 
investigated  which  were  not  of  enough  importance  to  report;  neither  does 
it  include  investigations  by  the  county  health  officers  of  complaints  re- 
ferred to  them  by  the  department.  During  any  year  there  are  several 
hundred  of  these,  and  it  is  safe  to  say  that  a  total  of  all  inspections 
made  by  representatives  of  this  department  will  show  a  total  of  at  least 
15,000. 

For  the  six  months  of  this  year  there  have  been  6380  inspections  re- 
ported by  the  inspectors,  or  in  all  at  least  a  total  of  8600  inspections  for 
the  past  six  months. 

The  coming  year  should  be  our  record  year,  unless  we  are  at  the  end 
of  the  year  forced  to  have  our  inspectors  go  more  ^towly,  and  be  unable 
to  take  up  much  of  the  work  that  has  been  planned,  owing  to  the  reduc- 
tion of  the  appropriation  providing  (or  their  expenses. 

During  the  past  eighteen  months  there  have  been  991  analyses  of 
food  products  reported  by  our  chemists,  of  which  486  were  found  illegal. 
These  samples  represent  all  classes  and  kinds  of  foods  being  sold  in  the 
market,  and  as  in  practically  all  cases  only  samples  of  questionable  goods 
are  taken,  it  will  be  readily  seen  why  so  many  of  these  are  ille^aH  In 
other  words,  a  comparison  of  the  several  years'  work  shows  plainly  the 
great  improvement  in  the  products  now  being  sold  in  the  market  in 
the  quality  and  correctness  of  labeling,  and  in  approved  methods  under 
which  they  are  being  handled  and  sold.  A  targe  number  of  these  were 
samples  of  alumed-pickled  goods,  found  mostly  in  the  northern  part  of 
the  state  and  coming  from  Nebraska  houses.  Correspondence  was  had 
with  these  houses,  and  we  have  reason  to  believe  that  there  are  at  this 
time  practical);^  no  alumed-pickled  goods  in  this  state.  It  was  necessary, 
however,  to  bring  a  few  prosecutions  against  the  sellers  of  these  goods 
before  they  seemed  to  realize  fully  that  the  department  intended  to 
prohibit  their  Fale. 

The  various  classes  of,  goods  sampled,  andean  idea  as  to  the  condition 
in  which  food  products  are  now  found  in  the  market  is  more  clearly  shown 
in  the  table  whic^  will  follow,  giving  analyses  of  food  products  during 
the  past  six  months. 

There  have  beai  470  drug  products  analyzed  and  reported,  and  it  was 
found  that  222  were  illegal  either  on  account  of  adulteration  or  mis- 
branding. 

The  number  of  illegal  goods  here  given  does  not  include  those  products 
for  which  there  is  no  standard,  yet  tne  analyses  showed  a  wide  variation 
frMn  the  analyses  of  the  freshly  prepared  product  made  according  to  the 
requirements  of  the  U.  S.  Pharamacopoeia ;  analyses  of  old  stock,  de- 
teriorated and  misbranded  goods  are  likewise  not  included.

It  WRs  found,  for  instance,  in  the  anftlysts  of  tr.  of  nux  vranica  thit 
there  were  four  of  these  above  the  reqoired  standard  and  fourteoi  belnr, 
one  sample  containing  no  strychnine  whatever.  The  samples  of  tr.  of 
aconite  analyzed,  fifty-nine  in  all,  showed  these  products  to  be  leas  tius 
one-half  the  required  strengrth,  some  of  them  running  down  to  practical!; 
nothing. 

Products  for  which  no  standard  was  given  in  the  Fharmacopceia,  bat 
showed  a  great  variation  from  that  of  a  standared  U.  S.  P.  prodott 
freshly  prepared  in  the  laboratory,  as  tr.  of  kino,  tr.  of  lobelia,  be«f,  irai 
and  wine,  and  elixir  of  iron,  quinine  and  strychnine — these  goods  showed 
a  wide  variation  form  the  solid  content  atid  in  alcholic  content,  as  did 
also  the  pepsin  preparations,  31  of  which  were  found  not  to  meet  the 
required  standard.  In  one  case  It  was  found  that  calomel  and  santonin 
tablets,  sold  as  containing  one-fourth  (frain  santonin  and  one-eigth  grain 
calomel,  contained  one-half  grain  santonin  and  one-fourth  grain  calomel 

The  report  of  the  analyses,  both  for  the  food  and  drug  laboratories, 
does  not  mclude  a  great  number  of  products  that  go  to  tiiem  of  which 
no  report  is  made.  These  are  samples  that  are  sent  to  them  for  investiga- 
tion, or  a  line  of  goods  simply  for  our  own  investigation,  in  order  that 
we  ma^  more  thoroughly  know  what  is  in  the  market  and  how  such  goods 
are  bemg  put  out.  These  reports  include  only  le^al  samples,  procured  by 
the  inspectors,  Uiat  were  taken  with  a  possible  view  of  prosecution  or  to 
enable  us  to  obthin  the  necessary  information  to  show  the  dealers  or  others 
why  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  they  should  give  special  attention  to 
any  particular  line  of  goods  tney  are  handling.

Daring*  th«  past  year  thsr«  were  approximately  100  samples  of  vine- 
Kars  tested  in  this  office  and  reports  mode  to  the  parties  smding'  in  tha 
samples  as  to  whether  or  not  the  product  was  standard  in  acid  strength. 

Ilie  method  of  investigating  and  fixing  the  responsibility  in  the  sola 
of  illegal  products  has  been  by  correspondence  direct  with  the  dealen 
and  manu^cturers.  In  fact,  a  hearing  has  been  given  in  each  case  and 
an  attempt  made  to  place  the  reepooBibility  for  any  illegal  product 
exactly  wnere  it  belonged. 

For  the  reason  that  there  are  a  great  many  products  made  by  the 
druggists,  there  was  during  the  earlier  ^iforconoit  of  Uie  law  mai^ 
more  prosecutions  brought  against  druggists  than  tJiere  have  been  at  this 
time.  The  drueeists,  as  a  whole,  at  once  realised  their  reeponsibiii^  in 
this  matter  and  have  endeavored  to  fully  meet  the  requir^nents  of  the 
law,  especially  in  the  matter  of  the  products  of  their  own  make.  This 
haa  resulted  m  the  fact  that  there  are  now  very  few  products  made  by 
'        '  '     "lat  are  fonnd  to  be  illegal.

thorough  investigaticm  of  all  the  circtmutancn  by  perscm&i  iiiq)eetioii  or 
hy  correspondoice,  to  try  and  clear  the  market  of  such  illegal  goods  by 
coSperatiRg  with  the  deatera,  and  prosecutions  have  been  brought  only 
iriisre  it  has  been  abmriutely  neceaaary  in  order  t«  force  the  responsibilily 
where  it  belonged  and  to  free  the  market  of  illegal  goods. 

One  hundred  prosecutions  have  been  brought  for  violations  of  the  food 
«nd  drugs  law,  all  of  which  have  resulted  in  fines.  Records  of  all  cases 
tmn  January  1,  1912,  to  July  1,  1912,  are  herewith  appended.  (Proeecn- 
tions  for  1911  were  publishaj  in  the  January,  1912,  Bulletin.)  Proae- 
entions  for  insanitary  conditions  are  not  included  in  this  number^  bnt  are 
reported  separately,  there  having  been  fifty-four  during  this  time,  and 
these  comprise  complaints  against  restaurants,  meat  markets,  slaoghter- 
houses,  and  prnctically  overy  line  of  business,  and  make  in  all  a  large 
part  of  the  total  number  of  prosecutions. 

It  is  undoubtedly  a  significant  fact  that  during  the  nast  «|^teai 
months  there  have  beai  a  Targe  reductitm  in  the  number  of  proseeuti(»is. 
This  is  BO,  I  believe,  simply  from  the  reason  that  the  merchants  are 
gradually  reatiEing  more  and  more  the  necessity  of  complying  with  the 
requirem^its  of  the  law  and  are  putting  forth  eveiY  effort  to  comply. 
This,  together  with  the  attitude  always  taken  by  rfie  department,  be- 
lieving it  better  to  educate  the  trade  in  giving  them  the  best  poasiUe 
opportunity  to  meet  the  law's  requirements,  has  resulted  in  a  tnoroiu^ 
cooperation  between  the  department  and  practically  alt  lines  of  trade, 
ana  thereby  making  it  necessary  for  the  aepartmmt  to  bring  only  this 
small  number  of  prosecutions  in  order  to  eniorce  the  law. 

Our  correepmidence  shows  clearly  the  attitude  of  the  great  majority 
of  dtttlers  ttirou^hout  the  state,  in  that  it  is  constantly  growing  along 
the  line  of  inquiries  from  dealers  and  all  others  interested,  asking  for 
all  kinds  of  information,  thus  showing  their  desire  of  me^iiig  the  re- 
quirememta  reflating  the  sate  and  handling  of  all  food  and  drug 
products.  It  IS,  indeed,  a  satisfaction  to  see  the  spirit  of  willingness 
shown  by  practically  all  to  meet  the  retjuirements  of  the  law  and  t 
ply  at  once  with  all  orders  and  instructions  given  by  our  v ' — 


ments,  and  does  not  let  the  par^  to  whom  an  order  is  given  forget,  

soon  aa  the  inspector  is  out  of  Bight,  that  he  is  expected  to  meet  the  re- 
quirements and  notify  the  department  when  that  has  becoi  done.  This 
system  has  been  followed  in  all  cases  where  it  was  not  fett  necessary  to 
make  prosecutions,  and  this  plan,  together  with  the  same  plan  b^g  used 
in  the  investigation  of  the  sale  of  all  illegal  producto,  has  resulted  in  the 
great  majority  of  the  eases  being  satisfactorily  adjusted  without  prose- 
cution. 

The  work  previously  started  in  the  enforcement  of  the  law  as  it  ap- 
plieB  to  the  sale  of  eggs  unfit  for  use,  thus  practically  necessitating  can- 
dling, has  been  carried  on  with  undoubtedly  good  resulto.  Last  year  tl^re 
were  several  prosecntifms  for  the  sale  of  eggs  unfit  for  food  purpoaea, 
and  this  year  our  inspectors  report  that  their  investigations  show  the 
great  majority  of  dealers  are  candling,  buying  all  eggs  on  the  '^oss-off" 
basis.  Up  to  this  time,  for  this  year,  no  case  of  a  sale  of  eggs  onttt 
for  use  has  come  before  the  department  for  prosecution,  thus  clearly 
showing  the  good  results  that  have  been  obtained  in  the  marketing  of 
this  one  particular  food  product. 

Tlie  question  of  weed  seed  and  other  extraneous  matter  In  wheat, 
which  was  taken  up  a  short  time  ago,  has,  accenting  to  all  reports  re- 
cdved,  been  of  great  benefit  to  all  concerned  and  is  ^ving  the  neartiest 
support  of  all  affected,  for  it  is  realised  that  it  is  a  step  in  the  ririit 
direction.  A  year's  education  aa  to  the  requirements  of  uie  law  in  ttiis 
matter  will  have  the  result  of  practicallv  freeing  our  wheat  of  most  of 
this  extraneous  substance,  whlcn  it  has  been  shown  can  be  removed.

i.ext  year's  products  will  be  properly  labeled,  thus  improving  this  busi- 
ness and  givmg  to  it,  I  believe,  a  ^eat  impetus. 

In  the  matter  of  Sanitary  conditions,  there  is  one  item  in  particular 
to  which  I  wish  to  invite  your  attention,  and  that  is  to  the  railroad 
camps— those  places  that  are  being;  conducted  on  the  order  of  a  boardings 
house  and  clearly  come  within  the  meaning  of  the  food  and  drug  law 
and  sanitary  law.  Two  particularly  bad  cases  were  reported  to  the  de- 
partmeit.  After  an  investigation  the  matter  was  taken  up  direct  wiUi 
-  the  railway  company  which  furnishes  the  cars  and  the  company  which, 
contracts  to  board  the  men,  and  we  have  their  assurance,  the  work  al- 
ready being  started,  that  all  these  places  throughout  the  state  will  be 
properly  screoied,  put  in  sanitary  condition,  and  so  maintained  in  the 

WEIGHTS  AND  U&AStntBB. 

During  the  year  1911  there  were  204  acalee,  110  weights  and  57 
measures  condemned,  making  a  total  in  all  of  731.  This  does  not  include 
a  large  number  of  scales,  weights  and  measures  that  were  destroyed 
and  taken  up  by  the  inspectors,  reports  of  which  were  never  made  on 
account  of  uiese  being  in  such  condition  that  it  was  impossible  that 
ttiey  be  fixed,  so  that  the  inspectors  simply  took  them  up  or  destroyed 
than  without  making  a  record  of  the  same;  also  a  lai^e  number  of  apothe- 
caries' weights  and  small  avoirdupois  weights  (approximately  5000),  no 
record  cUT  which  has  been  kept. 

To  show  more  definitely  just  what  work  has  twen  done  in  enforcing  the 
weights  and  measures  law,  the  following  data,  showing  some  of  the  work 
done  by  one  of  the  inspectors  for  approximately  nine  months,  is  here 
given.    This  was  in  the  testing  of  druggists'  scales,  weights  and  measures. 

Prescription    scales   passed 623 

Prescription  scales  condemned 195 

Counter  scales  passed 489 

Counter  scales  cmdemned 10 

Graduates  passed 1,820 

Graduates   condtanned 164 

Counter  weights  passed 3,607 

Counter  weights  condemned 61 

Prescription  weights  passed 6,116 

Prescription   weights  condemned 5,362 

This  makes  a  total  of  17,787  scales,  weigths  and  measures  tested,  and 
a  total  condemned  of  5782. 

The  reports  of  the  inspectors  for  the  six  months  of  this  year  show  a 
t<»tal  number  of  6232  scales,  11,245  weights  and  3814  measures  inspected. 
Of  this  number  there  have  been  68  scales,  300  weights  and  17  measures 
condemned.  A  comparison  of  these  figures  with  ttiose  of  former  years 
shows  to  what  a  great  extent  the  market  has  been  cleared  of  scales, 
weights  and  measures  that  were  not  accurate,  not  coming  within  the 
limit  of  tolerances.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  we  are  unable  to  do  more; 
with  these,  but,  as  you  well  know,  with  our  present  number  of  inspectors; 
it  is  impossible  to  give  this  work  the  particular  attention  it  deserves), 
other  than  the  inspection  of  the  scales,  weights  and  measures  in  those- 
places  where  the  inspectors'  regular  food  and  drug  work  take  them.  It 
is  a  fact  worth  mentioning  that  when  this  law  first  went  into  effect  there 
were  quite  a  few  scales,  weights  and  measures  found  which  were  in- 
correct on  account  of  some  special  device  used  to  affect  the  weighing  of  the 
scale,  or  showing  evidence  of  tampering  or  willfully  trying  to  defraud 
by  using  some  makeshift  in  weights  that  had  been  bored  out  and  made 
light;  £ese  and  other  schemes  were  used  to  defraud.  During  the  past 
eighteen  months,  however,  there  has  not  been  a  case  of  this  kind  found 
in  all  of  the  scales,  weights  and  measures  con<]emned,  the  trouble  being 
more  on  account  of  lack  of  care  and  their  gradual  wearing  out  and  not 
keeping  them  properly  adjusted.

This  law  has  had  really  a  w<»iderful  effect,  not  altme  in  getting  rid  of 
the  false  scale  and  making  the  giver  of  short  weight  and  me&sare  correct 
his  method  of  doing  business,  but  is  making  everyone  feel  the  neeeuitr 
of  paying  attention  to  these  things  and  maintaining  them  in  proper  con- 
dition.   Many  a  merchant  has  found  this  to  his  own  financial  gain. 

There  have  been  twelve  prosecutions  under  the  weights  and  measnna 
law,  and  a  list  of  these,  covering  the  time  from  January  1  to  July  1, 1912, 
together  with  a  list  of  all  scales,  weights  and  measures  condemned,  is 
herewith  appended.  All  prosecutions  and  condemnations  coming  under  - 
this  law  in  1911  were  published  in  the  January  and  March  Bullgtins 
for  1912, 

HOTELS. 

Compared  with  other  years,  the  hotel  work  for  1911  was  fairly  satis- 
factory. The  work  so  far  thia  year  has  probably  given  us  the  best  re- 
sults we  have  had,  for  the  reason  that  the  two  druf  inspectors  have  been 
giving  particular  attention  to  this  work  in  connection  with  their  regular 
drug  inspection.  This  has  necessarily  not  allowed  thf<m  to  pay  the  usual 
amount  of  attention  to  the  iuspection  of  drugs,  and  as  a  conaequeice, 
while  one  part  of  our  work  has  been  bettered,  I  believe  that  the  other 
has  suffered.  The  results  obtained  in  this  work  have  never  been  satis- 
factory, for  the  reason  that  we  do  n6t  have  the  necessary  inspectors  to 
give  this  work  the  necessary  amount  of  attention. 

To  depend  on  the  county  health  officer  for  these  inspections  is  uncer- 
tain, and  it  has  been  shown  that  the  desired  results  can  not  be  obtained 
in  that  way.  If  this  work  is  to  remain  with  this  department  we  should 
have  at  least  two  hotel  inspectors,  whose  work  primarily  shall  be  to  look 
after  hotels.  By  such  inspection  only  can  the  hotel  law  be  properly  en- 
forced. 

During  the  past  year  the  matter  of  hotel  inajMctim  was  given  prac- 
tically no  special  attention  by  this  department,  with  the  exception  of  one 
period,  when  alt  of  the  inspectors  were  given  certain  territories,  and  for 
about  thirty  days  devoted  their  entire  time  to  the  work.  However,  as 
that  was  the  only  time  when  particular  attention  could  be  givoi  to  this, 
and  as  it  was  impossible  for  the  inspectors  to  visit  all  of  the  hotels  in 
that  time,  it  was  felt  that  some  other  system  should  be  devised  so  that 
we  could  so  far  as  possible  with  our  limited  field  force  give  special  at- 
tention to  the  hotel  work.  It  was  therefore  decided  that  for  this  year 
the  two  drug  inspectars  should  devote  their  time  in  part  to  the  hotd- 
inspection  work  throughout  the  entire  year,  coSperating  in  each  county 
witn  the  county  health  t^cer.  It  will  necessitate  their  travding  a  little 
slower,  and  will  not  enable  them  to  cover  their  territory  ao  rapidly,  bat 
we  feel  that  this  year  special  attention  should  be  given  to  the  hotel  woric 
and  the  hotel  people  made  to  realize  that  this  law  has  been  in  force  long 
enough  for  them  to  know  that  they  must  comply  witji  its  requireonents. 

The  usual  letters  were  writtsi  to  the  county  health  omcers  asking 
for  the  inspection  of  the  hotels  of  their  county  and  prompt  reports.  As 
a  whole,  these  have  beoi  coming  in  in  much  better  shape.  Our  two  drug 
inspectors  have  had  opportunity  to  do  some  work  in  most  of  the  countiee, 
and  as  a  result  of  this  cooperation  with  the  county  health  officer  a  larger 
nomber  of  reports  than  usual  have  been  received.  These  in  niost 
casee  are  only  partial  reports,  but  I  believe  by  the  end  of  the  year  most 
of  the  counties  wilt  have  complete  reports.  It  is  the  intention  to  gnt 
the  county  health  officer  every  assistance  we  can,  and  this  year  obtain,  so 
far  as  possible,  complete  rejports  from  every  county.  In  some  counties, 
however,  the  county  commissioners  refuse  to  allow  the  county  health 
officer  any  pay  for  doing  this  work,  and  as  a  result  the  work  is  not  done 
and  we  are  unable  to  get  the  necessary  results. 

Since  the  passage  of  the  hotel  law,  four  years  ago,  there  are  t<n 
counties  for  which  reports  have  never  been  received,  uid  a  great  many 
others  that  have  only  been  partially  reported.  On  account  of  being 
unable  to  give  this  work  the  attention  it  should  have,  it  has  necessitatea

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  117 

our  spending  a  much  lon^  time  in  educating  the  hotel  keepers  of  tJie 
state  as  to  the  law's  requirements.  For  that  reason  we  have  been  slow 
to  brins  prosecutions  for  violations  of  the  law,  but  have  endeavored  fitst 
to  see  that  everyoRe  was  acquainted  with  the  requir^nents  and  had  had 
an  opportunity  to  comply.  Pursuing  this  policy,  there  were  no  prose- 
cutions brought  until  in  1910,  thus  giving  the  hotels  practically  two 
years  to  comply  with  the  requiranents.  During  that  time,  however,  a 
large  number  of  hotels  were  closed.  These  places  were  given  the  choice 
of  closing  or  standins:  prosecution.  In  this  manner  some  of  the  worst 
places  were  put  out  of  business. 

In  1911,  nowever,  it  was  found  necessary,  on  ar-count  of  the  condi- 
tions, to  bring  four  prosecutions,  and  now  that  this  law  has  been  in 
operations  sufficioitly  long  for  everyone  to  know  thorou^ly  Its  re- 
quirements, and  there  is  no  resson  at  this  time  for  noncompliance  with 
those  reauirements,  we  expect  this  year  to  rigidly  enforce  ttie  hotel 
law  and  bring  prosecutions  against  all  violators. 

This  work,  then,  for  the  six  months  of  this  year  shaws  twelve  prose- 
cutions for  various  violations  of  the  hotel  law  (a  list  of  which  is 
herewith  appended) ,  and  hundreds  of  orders  given  by  our  two  inspectors 
detailed  on  this  work,  all  of  which  will  l>e  closely  followed  up,  and  by 
the  «id  of  the  year,  if  we  have  the  assistance  we  should  get  from  the 
coun^  health  officers,  the  condition  of  the  hotels,  both  as  to  fire-protection, 
equipment  and  sanitai^  conditions,  should  be  greatly  improved.  There 
are  on  record  at  this  time,  as  reported  by  the  county  health  officers  and 
our  inspectors,  1200  hotels  and  rooming  houses  or  places  ccming  within 
the  meaning  of  the  hotel  law.  For  this  year  there  have  been  issued 
584  certificates  to  these  places  that  have  complied  with  the  law,  and 
323  reports  have  been  returned  as  incomplete.  Certificates  can  not  be 
issued  to  these  until  there  has  been  compliance  with  the  requirements. 
This  leaves  293  places  on  which  we  have  received  no  report  for  this 
year,  not  including  a  large  number  on  which  we  undoubtedly  have  never 
received  a  report. 

This  departm^it,  as  jrou  know,  has  always  followed  the  policy,  when 
circumstances  seemed  to  warrant  it,  of  giving  a  place  of  business  that 
was  being  conducted  in  violation  of  the  sanitary  law  the  choice  of 
"closing  np"  until  such  time  as  it  had  been  put  in  sanitary  condition,  or 
of  standing  prosecution.  This  has  remlted  m  the  closing  up  of  a  large 
number  of  hotels,  restaurants,  slaughterhouses,  and  practically  all  classes 
of  business.  Reports  on  all  of  these  are  not  available,  but  there  has 
beoi  reported  so  far  this  year  a  total  number  of  forty-four  places  closed, 
of  which  14  were  hotels. 

This  does  not  include  the  great  number  of  places  temporarily  closed 
and  required  to  be  "cleaned  out"  before  our  inspector  leaves  town.  The 
inspector  is  thus  enabled  to  make  the  second  inspection  of  such  places, 
allow  than  to  reopen  if  the  conditions  aeem  to  warrant,  and  report 
accordingly. 

D  OIL  AND  TURPBNTINe  LAW. 


This  law,  passed  by  the  legislature  in  1911,  has  now  been  in  force  a 
year.  This  time  has  Men  spent  in  educating  the  trade,  so  far  as  we  have 
been  able  through  our  inspectors  and  publication  in  the  Bulletin,  in 
order  to  give  them  time  to  adjust  themselves  to  the  new  conditions  and 
comply  with  the  law's  requirements.  It  must  be  seen  at  once  that  this  has 
been  a  large  task  for  this  department,  for  the  reason  that  linseed  oil  and 
terpentine  are  handled  in  several  lines  of  business  that  are  not  aflTected  by 
any  other  law  we  have  to  enforce,  and  as  a  consequence  are  never  in- 
spected by  our  inspectors.  During  the  year  a  large  number  of  samples 
have  been  collected  and  the  analysis  of  these  reported  in  the  Bulletin. 
This  law,  together  with  an  explanation  and  advice  as  to  the  law's  require- 
moits,  was  also  published,  and  it  is  now  tdt  that  there  is  litUe  reason 
why  any  one  should  not  know  and  comply  strictly  with  the  requirements. 

Fifty-two  samples  of  linseed  oil  and  five  samples  of  turpentine  have 

D,gnz.dbvC00gle 


118  State  Board  of  Health. 

been  analyzed  with  the  following  results:     Linseed  oil,  30  passed,  22 
illegal;  turpoitine,  6  passed,  none  illegal. 

•  As  most  of  this  oil  is  shipped  through  int«rBtate  commerce,  we  have  no 
jurisdiction  over  it  until  it  is  received  in  the  state  and  offered  for 
.  sale,  and  as  these  analyses  show  these  products  are  adulterated  to  a 
.  great  extent,  it  can  be  realily  seen  that  it  is  necessary  for  dealers  to 
.  exercise  great  care  in  their  buying  and  Knotii  what  they  are  sellingf. 
TaJdng  into  consideration  all  the  nark  done  by  this  department  duriiw 
the  past  eighteen  msnths,  I  feel  that  ^reat  results  have  beoi  obtained. 
Our  inspectors  have  been  covering  their  territories  thorou^kly,  and  bf 
hard,  earnest  work  have  been  getting  "r^mlta,"  and  what  is  to  be  more 
appreciated  than  anything  else  is  the  fact  that  In  tliA  enforconent  of 
thene  laws  the  different  lines  of  business  most  affected  aiv  tba  ones 
asking  for  their  enforcement,  and  are  ever  ready  to  stand  back  of  the 
departmmt  in  helping  to  make  them  as  effective  as  possible.  It  is  a 
protection  to  all  legitimate  business.

Sixth  Bienr^al  Report. 


REPORT  OF  STATE  REGISTRAR. 


To  the  State  Board  of  Health:  Topeka,  Kan.,  August  1,  1912. 

Genti£MAN — After  an  effort  of  six  jrears,  K&na&B  hae  a  rital  statistics 
law  that  in  most  respects  is  similar  to  the  model  law  recommoideid  by 
the  Bureau  of  the  Census,  the  American  Medical  Association,  and  the 
American  Public  Health  Association.  The  I^alature  in  passing  this  act, 
however,  made  some  minor  changes,  only  one  of  which  was  of  serious 
import,  and  that  was  in  section  4,  in  limiting  the  anmber  of  registrars 
to  the  city  clerks  of  ineorporatod  cities. 

This  law,  chapter  298,  Laws  of  1911,  became  effective  on  July  1,  1911, 
with  an  appropriation  of  (2600  per  year  provided  by  the  legislature.  It 
had  been  estimated  that  not  less  than  three  clerks  in  addition  to  the 
state  registrar  would  be  rehired  to  do  the  work  of  the  central  bureau. 
This  help  could  not  be  provided  from  the  appropriation  of  $2500,  and  it 
was  a  matter  of  earnest  discussion  among  uie  omcialr.  of  the  departmoit 
aa  to  whether  or  not  it  was  wise  to  put  the  law  into  operation.  After 
several  conferences  with  the  governor  and  state  auditor  it  was  determined 
to  ask  the  Board  for  authority  to  ranploy  one  clerk  out  of  the  tuberculosis 
fond,  as  the  data  secured  by  the  operation  of  this  law  would  be  of  im- 
mense assistance  in  the  enforcemait  of  the  tuberculosis  registration  law, 
and  one  clerk  to  be  carried  out  of  the  emergency  fund.  After  the  secur- 
ing of  this  authority  and  the  exercise  of  other  unusual  means,  it  was 
determined  to  make  tJie  effort  to  ^force  the  law,  even  thus  inadequately 
equipped  with  help.' 

Copies  of  blanks  for  the  use  of  the  local  regiatiars  were  prepared 
and  sent  to  the  state  printer  about  May  15,  but  as  he  was  without  funds, 
nothing  conld  be  done  at  that  time,  and  all  copy  was  returned.  But 
promptly  on  July  1,  the  beginning  of  the  new  fiscal  year,  they  were  again 
sent  to  the  state  printer,  and  on  August  9  a  portiori  at  least  of  all  of 
the  blanks  for  the  use  of  the  local  registrars  had  been  received  at  this 
office,  and  on  that  date  a  complete  package  of  supplies  was  sent  to  each 
of  the  485  local  registrars.  By  correspondmce  with  the  county  clerk 
of  each  county,  a  list  of  the  incorporated  cities  had  been  obtained,  and 
the  state  was  divided  into  registration  districts  surrounding  these  in- 
corporated towns,  as  provided  by  section  3  of  the  law,  the  eityclerks  of 
wh^h  were  under  provision  of  Uie  law  local  registrars.  Correspondence 
was  Uien  entered  into  with  these  clerks,  and  they  were  informed  of  their 
duties  under  the  law,  and  were  asked  to  file  their  names  and  addresses 
with  the  craitral  bureau. 

With  the  supplies  sent  to  the  local  repstrars  were  seit  the  following 
drealar  letters  and  a  suggested  article  for  publication  in  the  local  papers-. 


"For  the  purpose  of  putting  into  effect  the  provisions  of  chaptar  29$, 
Laws  of  1911,  the  following  suggestions  are  made  to  local  registrars: 

"First,  carefully  read  over  the  law,  rules  and  regulations,  and  study 
their  provisions,  that  you  may  be  enabled  intelligently  to  answer  qnestions 
which  are  sure  to  be  asked  of  you. 

"The  law  provides  in  section  11  that  each  physician,  midwife  and 
undertaker  shall  register  with  you,  and  shall  thereupon  receive  a  copy  of 
the  law,  together  with  soeh  rules  and  regulations,  forms,  etc.,  as  are  to 
be  supplied  to  then.  To  secure  these  registrations  is  the  first  step  in 
the  enforcement  of  the  law,  and  it  is  suggested,  where  it  is  convenient  so 
to  do,  that  the  registrar  make  it  a  point  to  call  upon  the  parties  interested, 
secure  their  rt^stration,  supply  them  with  blanks,  and  incidentally  secure

their  cooperation  and  good  will  at  the  aame  time.  This  will  undoabt«dly 
make  for  a  much  better  observance  of  the  law.  In  any  event,  tiicw 
registrations  must  be  secured  and  the  supplies  issued  as  promptly  U 
possible. 

"Particular  attention  should  be  paid  to  securing:  the  re^stratdon  of  all 
midwives.  There  is  no  law  on  the  statute  books  that  iir  any  way  governs 
this  practice  except  the  vital  statistics  law,  which  requires  their  r^s- 
tration,  and  [irompt  complaint  should  be  filed  with  the  county  attorney 
for  an^  practice  on  the  cart  of  these  people  without  registration. 

"It  IS  further  sugf^est^d  that  the  widest  possible  publicity  be  given  this 
law  in  your  community  through  the  press,  as  it  will  very  greatly  aid  in 
its  enforconent. 

"R^strars  are  only  required  to  register  and  supply  those  physicians, 
midwives  and  undertalcers  restdrait  in  their  district  and  the  cemeteries 
located  within  the  district;  those  who  practice  in  the  district  who  reside 
mitside  of  it  will  be  supplied  by  their  own  registrar. 

"Keep  close  track  of  your  supplies  and  order  additional  ouantjtiee  in 
ample  time  to  supply  the  demand.  Please  do  not  fold  eertificatea;  use 
the  Urge  envelopes  and  send  them  in  flat. 

"The  division  of  territory  prescribed  does  not  in  any  way  affect  tfae 
practice  of  physidans  and  undertakers  beycmd  designating  the  proper 
place  of  registration,  and  a  burial  permit  issued  by  any  r^strar  for  a 
death  occurring  in  his  district  will  be  accepted  by  the  sexttm  of  any 
cemetery  within  the  reach  of  a  private  conveyance,  and  a  common  carrier 
is  not  «npIoyed  for  transportation. 

"As  soon  as  certificates  are  received  they  shoald  be  Mitered  in  the 
proper  book    (birth  or  death  record)    and  Qien  flled,  and  on  the  fifth 
of  the  next  month  carefully  checked  and  a  statonait  made  on  the  proper

"The  vital  statistics  law,  compelling  the  r^stration  of  all  births 
and  deaths  in  Kansas,  nassed  by  the  last  legislature,  went  into  active 
operation  to-day  upon  the  shipm«ait  of  the  registration  blanks  by  the 
State  Board  of  Health  to  the  478  registrars  of  the  state.  The  law  wtnt 
into  effect  July  1,  but  the  fact  that  the  state  printer  has  bem  crowded 
with  work  has  delayed  the  printing  of  the  blanks.  The  law  specifies  that 
registrations  certified  on  blanks  other  than  those  furnished  by  the  state 
are  not  legal. 

"Registrations  are  paid  for  from  the  general  fund  of  the  county,  and 
there  is  no  expense  to  the  householder,  the  attending  physician  or  midwife 
or  to  the  undertaker.    The  fee  is  twenty-five  caits. 

"A  total  of  478  local  registrars  have  been  appointed  by  W.  J.  V.

means  of  Kettins  a  complete  and  perfect  record  of  deaths.  The  Mlution 
of  the  proolem  has  been  found  in  Tequiring  a  burial  permit  to  be  takoi 
out  before  any  disposition  is  made  of  the  body.  The  granting  of  the 
permit  is  contingent  upon  the  reporting  of  tne  dr^th  to  the  proper 
nfflcials.  This  is  the  keynote  of  the  law.  The  undertaker  has  ample 
opportunity  to  get  the  facte  concerning  the  death  from  the  relatives, 
and  other  detailed  information,  and  he  is  required  to  gather  it.  The  * 
physician,  of  course,  makes  the  medical  report  of  Uie  death. 

"There  are  three  firat-ciass,  important  reasons,  among  others,  why 
deaths  should  be  recorded.  Named  in  the  increasing  order  of  thrir 
importance  they  are: 

*'To  keep  track  of  the  movemait  of  the  population,  or  what  is  known 
as  the  demo^aphic  value. 

"The  sanitary  value,  which  teaches  where  the  plague  spots  are  and 
(lives  opportunity  for  "the  Rntallation  of  -preveative -measures. 

"In  the  legal  value  importance  attaches  itself  to  the  information  in 
cases  of  inheritance  by  desert,  in  insurance  matters  and  in  the  detection 
«f  criminal  practice.  There  is  no  chance  to  hide  away  a  body  and  'for- 
set  it.' 

"The  reaoonsibiLty  for  reporting  deaths  falls  upon  the  undertaker. 
Heavy  poialtiea  are  provided  in  the  law  for  failure  to  report  deaths, 
and  punishment  is  also  provided  for  failure  to  take  out  a  burial  permit 
"before  the  body  is  interred  or  for  permitting  interment  without  a  permit. 

"Births  are  to  be  reported  by  the  physician  or  midwife  in  attendance, 
and  in  the  event  of  no  medical  att^idance,  or  if  no  midwife  is  present, 
the  father  or  mother  must  attend  to  the  registration.  A  heavy  penalty 
is  attached  to  failure  to  make  the  proper  report.  Kansas  at  this  time 
has  no  law  regulating  the  practice  of  midwives,  but  the  vital  statistics 
law  compels  them  to  raster,  as  well  as  every  undertaker  and  physician; 
with  the  local  registrar,  and  penalties  are  provided  for  practicmg  with- 
out registering. 

"A  host  of  good  reasons  marshal  themselves  up  for  the  registration  of 
births.  Track  can  be  kept  of  the  movement  of  population.  A  large 
per  cent  of  our  practice  m  the  courts  requires  a  deHnite  statement  of 
age.  Offenders  in  certain  wrongful  actions  under  the  age  of  twenty-five 
go  to  the  reformatory.  It  often  costs  the  state  much  money  to  determine 
these  ages.  District  judges  in  Kansas  have  said  that  -.he  faulty  memories 
of  parents  often  causes  much  trouble  and  expenditures  in  learning  the 
correct  ages  of  the  offenders.  It  is  asserted  that  there  are  men  in  the 
pcnit^itiary  to-day  because  ages  could  not  be  proven.  On  the  civil  side 
'  of  the  legal  phase  there  are  certain  cases  coming  up  in  relation  to 
property  rights  in  which  ages  are  of  great  importance.  The  rights  of 
a  minor  are  maintained  in  certain  instances  a  year  after  the  age  of 
majori^  has  been  attained.  Suppose  a  case  appears  in  which  an  attempt 
is  being  made  to  cheat  an  heir  out  of  property  where  the  age  is  of  vital 
importance.  Right  there  an  official  auth^itic  record  could  shape  the 
determination  of  a  whole  dispute  with  no  loss  of  time  and  no  question  of 
accuracy.  There  are  always  cases  in  inheritance  where  descoit  and  age 
are  necessary  and  desirable.  The  courts  are  continually  demanding 
certificates' of  births  and  deaths. 

"A  striking  example  of  the  need  of  a  vital  statistics  law  came  up  re- 
coitly  in  Topeka.  A  young  man  and  his  parents  moved  back  to  Europe. 
The  parents  were  bom  across  the  sea,  but  the  son  was  bom  in  Topeka. 
The  latter  desired  to  come  back  to  Topeka  for  his  education.  He  landed 
at  Ellis  Island,  and  had  just  enough  money  to  get  to  Topdia,  and  the 
immigration  offlcers  raised  the  question  of  his  being  an  indigent  foreigner. 
He  insisted  that  he  was  bom  in  Topeka.  but  had  no  proof  of  it.  Efforts 
were  made  in  this  city  to  get  the  facts  about  the  matter,  but  nothing 
cODld'be  found  until  Father  Hayden  became  interested  in  the  case.  He 
searched  the  records  of  his  parish  for  a  week,  and  finally  located  the 
midwife  who  attended  at  his  birth,  and  seventeen  yeais  after  he  was  bom 
the  fact  of  his  birth  was  registered  and  he  was  permitted  to  enter  his

There  ia  another  argument  cited  which  can  not  be  improved  on.  R»r 
years  it  has  been  the  custom  to  regrister  horses,  cattle,  nogs  and  other 
live  stock,  but  the  human  race  has  not  until  now  seen  fit  to  sp^kd  twatj- 
fire  cents  for  the  registaation  of  a  birth  or  death." 

In  most  places  registration  began  at  once,  as  evidenced  by  the  Isct 
that  896  deaths  and  136  births  were  reported  for  the  part  month  of 
August.  In  some  localities,  however,  through  misunderstanding  or  in- 
efflctency  on  the  part  of  the  local  repstrar,  the  work  was  delayed,  but 
before  September  1,  1911,  registration  was  gaieral  over  the  state.  Witl 
the  beginning  of  the  actual  work  of  registration  the  office  was  flooded 
with  letters  of  inquiry  from  local  registrars,  undertakers,  physicians  and 
sextons  of  cemeteries,  resulting  in  a  great  burden  of  correspondoKe- 
But  as  re^stration  got  well  under  way  it  became  more  and  more  apparat 
that  the  limitation  of  the  local  registrars  to  the  number  of  incorporated 
towns  was  a  serious  mistake,  as  in  many  instances  a  great  hardship  was 
created  on  undertakers  and  others  responsible  under  the  law,  several 
instances  being  recited  where  it  was  necessary  to  drive  from  sixty  tft 
one  hundred  miles  in  order  to  comply  with  all  the  requiremraits  of  the  law 
and  secure  a  burial,  perm  it  Seventeen  counties  have  but  one  registratioii 
point,  namely:  Finney,  Geary,  Grant,  Gray,  Haskell,  Hodgeman,  Lane, 
Morton,  Scott,  Seward,  Sherman,  Stanton,  Stevens,  Thomas,  Trego,  Wal- 
lace, and  Wichita.  Of  this  number,  several  counties  have  no  incorporated 
town  and  arran^m^it  was  made  for  the  county  clerk  to  act  as  local 
registrar.  It  will  be  noted  that  all  of  the  above  counties  are  large 
counties  geographically.  The  question  of  registration  is  one  of  area 
.  rather  than  of  population,  as  one  r^strar  can  take  care  of  a  populstjoa 
of  t«n  thousand  quite  as  easily  as  he  can  of  one;  it  is  a  question  oi  hsfing 
registrars  located  at  such  convenient  points  that  no  hardship  will  be 
created  in  complying  with  the  law.  So  serious  did  this  question  become 
on  September  8  the  state  registrar  addressed  the  fallowing  letter  to 
the  attorney-general: 
"Hon.  John  Dawson,  Attorney-general,  Statekotut; 

"Dear  Sir — I  desire  to  invite  your  attention  to  section  4  of  chapter 
296,  I.>aw9  of  1911,  which  provides  that  the  city  clerk  in  each  incorporated 
city  shall  be  the  local  registrar  of  vital  statistics.  In  the  operation  of 
the  law  the  unfortunate  fact  exists  that  this  does  not  make  a  snfflcieot 
number  of  registrars  in  the  state  to  handle  the  business,  and  the  law 
creates  a  great  hardship  upon  undertakers  and  others  concerned  in  the 
difficulty  of  securing  the  necessary  burial   permit*. 

"You  will  note  that  by  section  1  of  this  act  the  State  Board  of  Health 
is  authorized  to  make  rules  and  regulations  for  canying  out  the  provisioM 
thereof,  and  I  desire  to  ask  your  opinion  as  to  whether  or  not  a  rtgutation 
that  vrould  permit  the  city  clerks,  as  local  registrars,  to  appoint  deputies 
in  certain  localities  where  needed,  said  deputies  to  be  subject  to  the 
approval  of  the  Board,  would  be  in  order.  I  assume  that  such  depute 
would  have  to  act  in  the  name  of  the  local  registrar,  as  there  se^ns  to  be 
no  provision  for  the  delegation  of  authority  to  sign  burial  permits. 

"I  will  be  pleased  to  have  your  opinion  on  this  subject  at  your  early 
convenience.  Very  truly  yours,

Sixth  Biennial  Report.  125 

"S«ction  4  of  the  act  makeB  the  city  cterk  of  each  incorporated  city 
the  local  resriatrar  of  vital  statistics,  and  he  may  isroe  burial  permits  and 
receive  birtn  certificates  for  any  part  of  his  county.  Nowhere  does  the 
act  expressly  provide  tJiat  there  hIihII  be  no  other  loccl  rofristrar  than  the 
various  city  clerks,  and  nowhere  does  it  expressly  provide  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  local  registrars  other  than  the  city  clerks.  While  such  local 
rejnstrars  are  paid  out  of  the  general  fund  of  the  various  counties,  the 
number  of  registrars  in  no  ease  can  affect  the  amount  to  be  paid.  If 
there  is  only  one  registrar  in  a  county,  and  he  does  his  duty,  he  would 
receive  as  much  compensation  as  a  doioi  registrars  would  receive. 

"I  think  the  State  Board  of  Health  has  the  power  and  authority  to 
authorize  the  various  city  clerks  to  appoint  such  assistants  as  may  be 
necwaary  to  enable  th«n  to  perform  the  various  duties  placed  upon  Uiem 
by  the  provisions  of  this  act.  Such  assistants  can  be  trtationea  at  con- 
venient points,  and  these  assistants  can  act  for  and  in  the  name  of  the  local 
r^stmr  for  that  district.        Yours  truly, 

John  S.  Dawson,  Attorney-general." 

In  accordance  with  this  opinion,  the  state  registrar  recommended  to 
the  State  Board  of  Health,  at  it«  regular  quarterly  meeting  held  at 
Manhattan  on  October  20,  the  adoption  of  regulation  20,  which  reads  as 
follows : 

"City  clerks,  as  local  registrars,  are  hereby  authorized  to  appoint  such 
assistants,  who  shall  be  known  as  subregistrars,  in  such  localities  distant 
from  the  re^stration  center  as  may  be  necessatr  to  serve  the  convenience 
of  those  having  business  therewith.  All  appoinbnents  are  to  be  approved 
by  the  state  registrar  and  shall  serve  during  his  pleasure. 

"These  subregistrars  are  to  act  for  and  in  the  name  of  the  local 
r^strar  for  that  district  in  receiving  birth  and  death  certificates  and  the 
issue  of  burial  fwrmits  only. 

"Each  subregistrar  is  required  to  make  report  and  forward  all  certifi- 
cates and  papers  to  the  local  registrar  for  whom  he  is  acting,  not  later 
than  the  last  day  of  each  month." 

This  regulation  was  duly  adopted  and  published.  Where  this  was 
put  into  operation  the  effect  was  immediately  boieficial  and  complaint 
ceased  almost  ^itirely. 

Between  the  beginning  of  registration  and  December  81  there  were 
reported  11,566  births  and  6296  deaths.  Owing  to  the  fact,  however,  that 
there  was  some  confusion  of  date  as  to  the  beginning  of  registration, 
these  figures  are  of  little  statiatical  value.  However,  there  will  be  found 
a  list  of  the  causes  of  death,  age,  sex,  color,  social  condition,  nativity, 
and  occupation  for  this  period,  following. 

On  the  su^estion  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Census,  on  January  1  the  cities 
above  ten  thousand  were  segregated  from  the  districts  in  which  they  were 
located,  in  order  that  we  might  determine  the  death  rate  in  these  larger 
cities  as  distinguished  from  the  general  death  rate  over  the  state. 

The  advice  and  hearty  co3peration  of  Dr.  Cressy  L.  Wilbur,  chief 
statistician  for  vital  statistics  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Census,  have  heea  of 
great  aid  in  the  administration  of  the  law,  the  bureau  furnishing  each 
physician  in  the  state  with  a  vest-pocket  copy  of  the  InteiTiational  Classifi- 
cation of  the  Causes  of  Death,  and  on  April  2  sending  the  following 
letter  to  every  physician,  registrar,  undertaker  and  others  interested  in 
the  law,  which  undoubtedly  was  of  immoise  value  in  securing  the  hearty 
coSperation  of  those  addressed  r 

"Dbar  Sot — The  complete  and  correct  r^stration  of  all  births  and 
deaths  is  most  essential  to'  the  welfare  of  the  state  and  to  the  protection 
of  the  legal  and  perswial  rights  of  the  people.  The  information  secured 
from  an  effective  system  oi  registration  is  indispensable  for  practical 
sanitary  purposes.  In  no  other  way  can  it  be  known  in  just  what  parts 
of  the  state  certain  diseases  are  moat  fatal,  and  hence  where  the  most

active  efforts  should  De  made  to  restrict  them.  Without  complete  r^s- 
tration  of  births  no  comparable  statistics  of  infant  mortali^  can  be 
had,  and  hence  the  lar^  number  of  deaths  of  infants  from  prerentable 
causes  can  not  be  diminished  as  rapidly  as  if  a  complete  biowledge  of  the 
extent  and  causes  of  infant  mortality  were  available. 

"Under  the  present  Kansas  law  births  and  deaths  are  recorded  bf 
immediate  registration — the  only  Sclent  method^-upon  standard  biru 
and  death  certiflcates  such  as  are  onployed  in  re^stration  states  and 
approved  by  the  United  States  Bureau  of  the  Census.  As  soon  as  the  law 
is  thoroughly  enforced  throughout  the  state,  so  that  practically  no  deaths 
can  occur  without  a  proper  legal  record,  Kansas  wilt  become  eligible  far 
admission  to  the  registration  area,  which  now  includes  twenty-two  states 
in  which  laws  having  substantially  the  same  requirements  as  the  ^fut'w 
act  have  beo)  successfully  enforced.  The  state  will  then  be  represented 
in  the  annual  mortality  statistics  published  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census, 
and  its  vital  data  will  be  available  for  use  by  citizens  of  the  state  for 
many  important  puiposes. 

"The  success  of  the  law  depends  upon  the  thorough  enforcemoit  and 
careful  compliance  with  its  provisions  by  all  concerned,  and  especially 
by  the  physicians,  widwives,  undertakers,  sextons,  health  otttcers  and 
local  registrars.  The  omission  of  the  re<»>rd  of  a  single  birth  or  death 
may  be  of  ^e  gravest  importance  to  the  individual  or  family  affected, 
and  hence  a  conscientious  regard  should  be  had  to  the  registration  and 
prompt  return  to  the  state  registrar  at  Topeka  of  all  births  and  deatiia 
that  occur.  It  is  a  matter  not  only  of  state  but  of  national  importance- 
that  the  Kansas  law  should  be  effective,  because  upon  the  coopcntion  of 
the  state  in  this  respect  the  upbuilding  of  our  national  system  of  vital 
statistics  is  dependent.  H«ice  I  desire  to  ask  your  cordial  interest  and 
aid  in  the  thorough  enforcement  of  this  law.    Very  respectfully, 

Cressy  L.  Wilbur,  M.  D.,  Chief  Statiatician." 

The  necessity  of  making  report  at  this  time  for  the  biennial,  covering 
a  period  of  but  six  months,  makes  the  report  of  smatl  statistical  value. 
For  instance,  the  report  shows  but  96  deaths  from  typhoid  fever  for  the 
six  months  ending  June  30,  1912,  whereas  the  part  of  1911,  covering  a 

fart  of  August  and  the  following  months  of  the  year,  showed  297  deaths 
rom  typhoid  fever.  This  is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that  the  typhoid 
season  very  largely  follows  the  fly  season,  and  the  later  months  of  the 
summer  will  show  an  increetsed  death  rate  from  this  cause.  The  few 
deaths  from  this  cause  have  been  scattered  quite  generally  over  the 
state;  in  no  case  has  there  been  the  appearance  of  an  epidconic.  The 
deaths  from  all  epidemic  diseases  have  been  somewhat  small,  with  the 
exception  of  whooping  cough,  of  which  there  were  eighty-five  deaths  re- 
ported, more  than  of  any  other  one  of  the  communicable  diseases,  with 
the  exception  of  tuberculosis.  The  early  ^rt  of  the  year  there  was  a 
severe  epidemic  of  cerebrospinal  meningitis  at  Kansas  City  and  some 
other  pomts.  Owing  to  the  fact,  however,  that  this  report  shows  such 
a  limited  time,  it  has  not  been  deemed  wise  to  attempt  to  make  any 
systematic  study  of  the  causes  of  death. 

Since  the  law  became  operative  there  have  been  eight  cities  newl^ 
incorporated,  and  two  have  aurroidered  their  incorporation,  so  at  this 
time  there  are  491  registrars. 

The  state  registrar  respectfully  urges  the  necessity  of  amending 
section  4  of  the  law  to  provide  for  the  appointment  of  registrars  wher- 
ever th^  may  be  needed,  and  provision  snould  be  made  for  at  least  one 
registrar  in  each  township  if  tne  conditions  warrant.  In  some  states  it 
has  been  found  that  the  justice  of  the  peace  of  the  township  nukee  an 
acceptable  re^rstrar.  The  appointment  of  aubregietrars  should  be  cov- 
ered by  statute.    Respectfully  submitted. 

W.  J.  V.  DEACON,  StaU  R«ffi»trar.

Librarian's  Report. 


In  the  general  growth  and  advancement  of  the  various  insti- 
tutions of  Kansas  the  State  Library  has  been  a  participant 
throughout  all  of  the  years  following  ita  establishment  in  1862. 
Between  the  years  1862  and  1869  no  printed  reports  were 
issued.  The  office  of  state  librarian  was  created  by  the  legis- 
lature in  1870,  the  duties  of  librarian  up  to  that  time  having 
been  performed  by  the  territorial  and  state  auditors.  Fron? 
1870  to  the  present  date  seven  annual  and  eighteen  biennial 
reports  have  been  issued  by  the  librarian. 

Beginning  in  1862  with  less  than  5,000  volumes,  the  State 
Library  has  in  the  fifty  years  of  its  existence  increased  its 
collection  to  a  total  of  125,244  volumes.  This  number  includes 
law  books,  public  documents,  miscellaneous  books,  medical 
books,  pamphlets  and  charts,  magazine  files,  legislative  refer- 
ence works  and  traveling  library  books.  The  total  does  not 
include  duplicate  copies  of  the  library's  own  publications,  nor 
duplicate  sets  of  state  documents  carried  for  purposes  of 
exchange  with  other  libraries  and  institutions.  Necessarily 
there  has  been  some  duplication  in  the  traveling  library  de- 
partment, where  there  has  been  a  call  for  more  than  one  copy 
of  an  important  or  popular  book. 

The  estimated  value  of  the  library  is  $250,000,  although 
many  of  the  publications  in  the  law  and  miscellaneous  sections 
could  not  be  duplicated  in  the  original  editions  at  any  price. 
The  accessions  in  1910-'12,  covering  all  departments,  amount- 
ed to  13,563 — the  largest  growth  the  library  has  attained  in 
any  annual  or  biennial  period  in  its  history. 

In  order  to  accommodate  the  future  expansion  of  the  library 
it  will  be  necessary  to  provide  an  additional  stack  for  the 
shelving  of  books.  The  two  large  steel  stacks  provided  when 
the  library  was  transferred  to  its  present  quarters  are  already 
congested,  and  I  respectfully  recommend  an  appropriation  by 
the  incoming  legislature  of  the  sum  of  $6000  for  the  erection 
of  a  third  stack,  corresponding  in  style  and  material  to  those 
now  in  use.  Its  erection  is  a  needed  facility  in  the  proper

arrangement  and  handling  of  books,  and  will  be  in  accordance 
with  the  original  plan  of  the  library  room. 

Within  the  past  three  years  a  new  card  catalogue  of  the 
law  and  miscellaneous  collections  has  been  completed  and  tha 
general  resources  of  the  library  made  more  available  to  the 
public.     By  classes,  the  library  now  contains : 

Law  and  miscellaneous  books 69,995 

Medical  works  3,1H 

Pamphlets    11,136 

Traveling  library  books 41,000 

Total 125,244 

SUPREME  COURT  REPORTS. 
The  sales  of  Supreme  Court  Reports  during  the  two  years 
ended  June  30, 1912,  amounted  to  $4176,  a^  follows:

SESSION  LAWS. 
The  legislature  of  1911  made  an  appropriation  for  printiiW 
700  extra  copies  of  the  Session  Laws  of  that  year,  to  be  sold 
by  the  state  librarian.  This  number  proved  to  be  insufBcient 
to  meet  the  demand  from  attorneys  and  other  patrons,  and 
the  edition  is  now  exhausted.  In  all  703  copies  were  sold  at 
$2  each.  The  librarian  also  disposed  of  five  copies  of  the 
Laws  of  1907  and  five  copies  of  the  Laws  of  1909,  at  |2  each, 
making  the  total  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  Session  La^^ 
$1426,  which  amount  was  deposited  in  the  state  treasury  to 
the  credit  of  the  general-revenue  fund. 

STORMONT  MEDICAL  LIBRARY. 
The  medical  section  of  the  State  Library  was  a  donation 
made  by  Mrs.  Jane  Stormont,  representing  an  original  outlay 
of  J5000.    It  is  maintained  by  the  interest  derived  from  an

additional  sum  of  $5000,  also  griven  h:  Mrs.  Stormont.  From 
this  interest  fund  purchases  were  made  in  1910-'12  to  the 
amount  of  $431.86. 

Another  valuaUe  collection  of  text  books  was  donated  to  the 
medical  department  in  1904  by  Mrs.  Ann  Eliza  Sheldon. 

LEGISLATIVE  REFERENCE  DEPARTMENT. 

In  the  year  1909  the  legislature  made  a  small  appropriation 
for  a  legislative  reference  department  in  connection  with  the 
State  Library.  The  legislature  of  1911  continued  the  appro- 
priation and  granted  small  increases  intended  to  improve  the 
mechanical  facilities  of  the  department.  Only  $260  a  year 
was  allowed  for  the  purchase  of  new  material,  but  even  with 
this  small  amount  the  librarian  has  been  able  to  make  valuable 
additions  to  the  general  resources  of  the  State  Library  along 
legislative  lines. 

That  the  new  department  has  been  of  considerable  benefit 
to  state  officers  and  members  of  the  legislature  is  freely  admit- 
ted by  all  who  have  availed  themselves  of  its  privileges. 
The  state  officers  and  state  commissions  have  been  helped  in 
gathering  material  for  their  special  uses,  and  the  public  has  in 
many  ways  had  the  benefit  of  the  work  of  the  department. 

Prior  to  the  session  of  1911  a  letter  was  sent  to  each 
member  of  the  legislature  asking  him  to  make  use  of  the 
material  in  the  library,  and  tendering  the  assistance  of  the 
library  force.  By  this  means  members  were  provided  with 
information  concerning  matters  of  proposed  legislation  two 
months  in  advance  of  the  meeting  of  the  legislature.  This 
information  comprised  statistics  from  all  sources,  copies  of 
the  laws  of  other  states,  and  the  latest  and  best  material  in 
book  and  magazine  form  concerning  the  subject  under  inves- 
tigation. 

During  the  session  of  1911  the  legislative  reference  depart- 
ment maintained  a  complete  card  index  of  all  the  measures 
introduced  into  the  legislature,  showing  the  reference  to  com- 
mittees, reports  of  committees,  action  of  the  house  and  senate, 
and  final  disposition  of  each  bill.  The  index  was  in  daily  use 
by  the  members  and  its  utility  frequently  commended. 

This  service  is  not  intended  to  supplant  the  work  of  the 
secretary  of  the  senate  or  the  chief  clerk  of  the  house,  but  is  in 
■addition  thereto  and  along  wholly  diiFerent  lines.     At  the  close

of  the  session  it  constitutes  a  complete  history  of  the  legisb- 
lion  of  that  year,  and  is  of  assistance  not  only  to  members  but 
to  the  officers  of  both  houses  and  to  the  public  at  large.  It 
is  likewise  a  convenience  to  the  succeeding  legislature,  as  it 
includes  a  file  of  all  bills  introduced,  whether  enacted  into  lawii 
or  not.  A  similar  index  has  also  been  prepared  relating  to 
the  session  of  1909, 

When  the  legislature  is  not  in  session  the  material  gathered 
by  the  reference  department  is  available  to  colleges,  public 
schools,  municipal  organizations,  debating  societies  and  study 
clubs  throughout  the  state,  and  to  all  students  of  the  publi': 
questions  of  the  day. 

BUREAU  OF  INFORMATION. 

The  State  Library  is  ready  at  all  times  to  respond  to  an}' 
requisition  that  may  be  made  upon  it  for  information  upon 
any  question  of  public  interest,  or  in  regard  to  the  laws  of 
Kansas  and  other  states,  and  to  give  in  condensed  form  the 
results  of  experiments  and  investigations  in  the  administra- 
tion of  public  affairs,  national,  state  and  municipal.  The 
library  contains  most  of  the  federal  and  state  documents.  It 
has  files  of  the  leading  periodicals,  and  is  well  supplied  with 
pamphlets,  reports  of  societies,  monographs,  and  newspaper 
clippings  from  all  sources. 

Any  citizen  of  Kansas  who  may  have  a  problem  in  mind  con- 
cerning commission  government,  public  utilities,  education, 
banking,  insurance,  taxation,  or  any  topic  of  current  interest, 
is  privileged  to  write  to  the  State  Librarian  for  such  informa- 
tion and  assistance  as  the  library  affords.  All  such  question'! 
will  be  carefully  considered  and  impartially  answered.  There 
is  no  charge  for  such  service,  and  the  public  is  requested  to 
make  full  use  of  the  resources  of  the  library,  either  by  corre- 
spondence or  through  personal  visits. 

A  great  deal  of  work  of  this  character  has  been  performed 
since  the  Legislative  Reference  Bureau  was  established.  Col- 
lefe  and  school  debaters  have  visited  the  library  to  equip  them- 
selves for  their  tasks.  Political  organizations  have  had  access 
to  the  files  of  the  library  for  statistics  and  other  material  relat- 
ing to  congressional  and  legislative  affairs,  economical  ques- 
tions and  party  policies.  Societies  and  olubs  have  made 
similar  use  of  the  library,  and  hundreds  of  personal  inquiries

have  been  answered.  In  this  way  the  library  has  been 
brought  into  helpful  contact  with  the  public  to  a  greater 
extent  within  the  past  two  years  than  ever  before,  and  it  is 
desired  that  this  relation  shall  be  continued  and  broadened. 

TRAVELING  LIBRARIES. 

Another  adjunct  of  the  State  Library  is  the  system  of  trav- 
eling libraries  established  in  1899',  and  which  has  had  a  stead}' 
growth  each  yeai;.  Beginning  with  3000  volumes  in  1899,  the 
Traveling  Libraries  Department  now  possesses  41,000  volumes. 
The  traveling  libraries  are  sent  out  in  trunks  containing  fifty 
books  each.  In  1910-'12  libraries  to  the  number  of  1106  were 
sent  out — an  increase  of  106  over  the  previous  two  years. 
They  go  to  small  towns,  school  districts,  literary  societies, 
granges,  clubs  and  localities  that  have  no  local  facilities  for 
supplying  desirable  reading  matter. 

During  the  1910-'12  biennium  55,300  books  were  circulated 
by  the  Traveling  Libraries  Commission.  Reports  from  the 
various  localities  served  show  that  each  case  of  50  books  has 
had  an  average  of  61  readers,  and  an  average  circulation  of 
832.  This  gives  a  total  circulation  of  367,192  for  the  1106 
libraries  in  use  during  the  past  two  years. 

Small  collections  of  books  have  recently  been  sent  out  to 
students  who  are  taking  an  extension  course  in  the  University 
of  Kansas.  This  is  the  result  of  an  arrangement  entered  upon 
by  the  library  and  the  University  for  cooperative  work.  With- 
out this  cooperation  and  mutual  assistance  the  students  in 
most  instances  would  not  have  been  able  to  complete  the  pre- 
scribed course.  These  fractional  libraries  contain  from  four 
to  sixteen  books  each,  and  comprise  works  on  English  history, 
education,  philosophy,  psychology,  sociology,  American  his- 
tory and  American  literature. 

Five  libraries  of  German  books  are  also  in  circulation  over 
the  state,  in  response  to  a  demand  made  upon  the  Traveling 
Libraries  Commission.  It  is  the  constant  aim  of  the  officers  of 
the  Commission  to  make  the  traveling  libraries  of  real  value 
and  interest  to  the  people  of  the  state,  and  especially  to  supply 
the  smaller  towns  with  reading  matter  suited  to  their  needs. 
Books  have  been  sent  to  every  county  in  the  state  except  one, 
and  to  638  towns  and  cities.

APUNGTON  ART  GALLERY. 
By  act  of  the  legislature  of  1907  the  state  accepted  from 
Mrs.  Kate  A.  Aplington,  of  Council  Grove,  Kan.,  four  collec- 
tions of  mounted  pictures  for  circulation  in  the  state  under  the 
regulations  prescribed  by  the  Kansas  Traveling  Librariea 
Commission.  In  the  use  of  these  art  galleries  the  applicaDta 
are  required  to  defray  the  cost  of  transportation  on  the  basis 
of  $5  for  each  collection  used.  Nine  of  the  galleries  were 
in  circulation  during  the  last  two  years.  'The  donor,  Mrs. 
Aplington,  is  at  work  upon  a  plan  for  enlarging  the  collection

Report  of  the  Commissioner. 


TOPBKA,  August  1,"  1912. 
To  His  Excellency,  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor: 

SiK — In  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  the  live-stock 
sanitary  law  of  this  state,  I  herewith  submit  a  report  of  this 
department,  ending  July  31,  1912.  This  report  covers  in  a 
general  way  the  transactions  of  the  department  from  De- 
cember 1,  1910. 

On  account  of  the  limited  space  allotted  by  the  Printing 
Commission,  it  is  essential  that  this  report  be  condensed  as 
much  as  possible.  Therefore,  no  detailed  statement  of  the 
work  of  £he  department  is  made  at  this  time. 

Since  our  last  report, the  quarantine  existing  on  account  of 
scabies  among  cattle  against  the  counties  of  Hamilton,  Stan- 
ton, Morton,  Stevens,  Grant,  Kearny,  Finney,  Haskell,  Seward, 
Meade  and  Clark  has  been  raised.  The  quarantine  was  tem- 
porarily raised  last  January  on  the  part  of  the  state,  on  ac- 
count of  the  movement  of  cattle  from  the  western  division  of 
the  state  to  the  middle  and  eastern  divisions  for  feeding  pur-  - 
I>oses  during  the  severe  winter  weather;  and  on  close  inspec- 
tion of  the  various  herds  of  cattle  in  these  counties  last  spring 
it  became  apparent  that  it  was  practicable  to  permanently  raise 
the  quarantine,  which  was  done,  becoming  effective  April  1, 
1912.  I  might  add  that  releasing  from  quarantine  the  coun- 
ties above  mentioned  places  the  entire  state  in  what  is  known 
as  clean  or  free  territory. 

This  department,  in  cooperation  with  the  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry,  has  assisted  the  stockmen  in  the  eradication  of  this 
disease  in  the  quarantine  counties,  until  at  the  present  time 
but  a  few  infected  herds  remain  in  the  entire  territory.  Prom 
the  fact  that  the  disease  is  so  thoroughly  eradicated  and  stock- 
men have  become  so  familiar  with  the  manner  of  treatment, 
there  is  but  little  likelihood  of  this  disease  affecting  the  cattle 
interests  of  the  state  hereafter  to  any  extent 
TEXAS  FEVER. 

There  has  been  but  one  outbreak  of  Texas  fever  in  the  state 
since  our  last  report,  this  occurring  in  Wyandotte  county  in 
August  of  1911,  where  four  head  of  Texas  steers  broke  away 
from  tiie  quarantined  stock  yards  at  Kansas  City  and  roved 
over  tiie  pastures  in  close  proximity  to  the  yards  where  a 
number  of  dairy  herds  were  grazing.  The  Kansas  City  Stock

Yards  Company  were  responsible  for  this  outbreak.  As  soob 
as  an  investigation  developed  the  nature  of  the  disease,  per- 
mission was  granted  the  owners  of  these  dairy  herds,  John  W, 
Heme  and  others,  to  drive  the  infected  cattle  to  the  quarantine 
yards  at  Kansas  City  and  dispose  of  them  for  slaughter,  sub- 
ject to  post-mortem  results,  there  being  about  250  head  of 
cattle  in  all.  The  loss  accruing  on  account  of  this  outbreak  of 
Texas  fever  was  adjusted  by  the  Kansas  City  Stock  Yards 
Company  with  the  owners  of  said  herds  satisfactorily. 

No  other  outbreaks  among  cattle  in  the  i^tate,  causing  any 
loss  of  any  consequence  from  contagious  or  infectious  diseases, 
have  occurred  since  our  last  report. 

TUBERCULOSIS. 

During  the  year  1911  and  up  to  July  1  of  this  year  9252 
head  of  cattle  have  been  tested  for  tuberculosis  under  the 
direction  of  this  department.  This  work  has  been  carried  on 
in  a  large  number  of  the  counties,  but  the  largest  number  were 
tested  in  the  counties  of  Wyandotte,  Johnson,  Leavenworth 
and  Shawnee.  This  was  on  account  of  the  requirements  of 
city  ordinances  passed  by  the  cities  of  Topeka,  Kansas  City, 
Kan.,  and  Kansas  City,  Mo,,  calling  for  tuberculin-tested  dairj- 
products.  Out  of  the  number  tested  460  were  condemned  as 
being  infected  with  the  disease,  and  disposed  of  at  maritet 
centers  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  tuberculosis 
law.  About  5  per  cent  of  the  number  tested  are  shown  to  be 
"  diseased.  The  post-mortem  results  of  these  infected  animals 
show  that  about  95  per  cent  are  passed  under  government  in- 
spection for  food. 

A  large  number  of  the  cities  and  towns  in  the  state  are 
passing  ordinances  in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  ^' 
tion  24  of  chapter  312,  Session  Laws  of  1911,  requiring  all 
owners  of  dairy  cattle  to  subject  their  herds  1o  the  tuberculin 
test  before  permitting  them  to  sell  their  products  on  their 
city  markets. 

There  are  different  opinions  among  scientific  men  concern- 
ing the  transmission  of  tuberculosis  from  the  bovine  animaJ 
to  human  beings,  which  no  doubt  in  a  short  time  will  be  settled 
deiinitely.  Regardless  of  this  issue,  there  is  no  question  of  th^ 
beneficial  results  that  are  being  brought  about  by  the  move- 
ment requiring  the  testing  of  dairy  cattle  for  tuberculosis,  f^ 
the  reason  it  is  the  means  of  taking  from  these  various  herds 
old  and  diseased  dairy  cattle  that  should  not  be  used  for  dw.j^' 
purposes,  and  is  instilling  an  interest  in  dairy  owners  to  build 
up  and  keep  more  healthy  herds  for  dairy  purposes.  A  larger 
appropriation  on  the  part  of  the  next  legislature  for  this 
purpose  would  be  of  great  benefit  to  the  state.

HORSES  AND  MULES. 

There  have  been  no  outbreaks  of  contagious  or  infectious 
diseases  of  a  serious  nature  alnong  the  horses  and  mules  of  the 
state  during  the  past  year,  with  the  exception  of  a  few  cases  of 
glanders.  There  were  destroyed  for  glanders  82  horses  in 
1911,  and  56  horses  this  year  up  to  June  30.  These  out- 
breaks have  not  been  confined  to  any  one  locality  of  any  con- 
sequence, with  the  exception  of  Sedgwick  county,  where  sev- 
eral head  have  been  destroyed  in  the  past  few  months,  but  at 
this  writing  is  under  food  control.  The  other  cases  have  been 
in  different  sections  of  the  state,  largely  in  the  cities  and 
towns. 

Since  the  enactment  of  the  law  providing  for  the  appraise- 
ment and  allowance  for  the  destruction  of  glandered  horses 
went  into  effect,  in  June,  1911,  we  have  had  but  little  trouble 
in  having  horses  infected  with  glanders  disposed  of. 


HOG  CHOLERA  AND  ITS  CONTROL. 

Br  Dk.  K.  W.  Stdvdt.x.  rctcrfnarian  ot  thie  depkTtmcnt. 

No  victor;  of  science  over  dieease  has  been  of  aiich  vast  interest  to  the 
live-stock  industry  of  the  Middle  West  in  recent  years  as  has  been  the 
perfection  of  the  Dorset-Nilea  a nti -hog-cholera  serum,  and  it  is  safe  to 
say  that  probably  no  meritorious  article  hag  in  so  short  a  time  been  so 
highly  complimented  as  to  experience  Euch  a  large  number  of  imitators. 

The  true  Dorset-Niles  process  is  based  upon  the  theory  that  all  animals 
which  are  immune  to  a  given  disease,  especially  if  that  immunity  is  due 
to  having  successfully  passed  through  an  attack  of  the  disease,  have  in 
their  blood  certain  anti-bodies  which  are  harmful  to  the  successful 
growth  and  progress  of  the  Rem  causing  the  disease.  If  these  anti- 
bodies can  be  successfully  transformed  from  an  immune  animal  to  one  of 
his  own  species  which  is  not  immune,  it  usually  is  of  assistance  to  the 
non-immune  in  combating  an  exposure  to  the  disease.  This  is  the  basic 
theory. 

The  following  is  the  practical  method  followed  to  immunize  hogs: 

A  hog  immune  to  ordinary  exposure  to  the  cholera  is  fastened  to  a 
table  and  about  Ave  cubic  centimeters  for  every  pound  of  weight  of  the 
blood  fluid  of  a  pig  very  sick  with  an  acute  form  of  the  cholera  is  passed 
directly  into  the  veins  of  the  immune  hog;  thus  a  200-pound  hog  receives 
1000  cc,  or  about  a  quart. 

Within  ten  days,  by  cutting  off  a  small  piece  of  the  tail,  the  blood  of 
the  now  hyperimmune  is  drawn,  and  at  intervals  of  about  seven  days 
several  blood  drawings  are  made.  This  blood  with  the  clot  or  Abrin  re- 
moved stays  fluid,  and  is  now  tested  for  potency,  that  is,  its  efficiency  to 
protect  a  susceptible  pig  against  the  cholera.  This  is  performed  in 
several  ways.  The  best  is  to  give  one  pig  s^ine  virulent  blood  from  a 
known  case  of  cholera;  give  a  second  some  virulent  biood  and  a  dose  of 
serum.  If  the  one  receiving  the  virulent  blood  dies  in  four  to  eight  days 
the  blood  is  snrely  virulent,  and  if  the  one  receiving  the  virulent  blood 
and  Eerum  lives  thirty  days  and  more,  the  serum  is  surely  potent.  This 
is  the  most  severe  test,  though  there  are  others  which  will  readily  occur 
on  a  little  thought.  This  potent  serum  is  now  ready  for  field  use,  and 
with  a  small  amount  of  preservative  and  kept  at  about  50°  to  60°  F. 
will  remain  potent  for  several  months.     It  is  applied  in  doses  of  about

20  to  30  ce.  per  100  pounde,  deep  into  the  muscles,  with  a  clean  Bt«rile 
syringe,  after  carefully  disinfecting  the  site  of  injection. 

Given  alone,  serum  produces  absolutely  no  ill  eff«cta  whatever,  and  can 
not  produce  the  cholera.  It,  however,  is  absorbed  and  apparently  passed 
out  of  the  system,  until  the  average  hog  is  not  immune  to  the  chskra,  if 
he  receives  same  alone,  for  more  than  30  to  60  days.  If,  however,  at 
the  time  of  injecting  the  serum,  the  hog  is  exposed  to  the  cholera  by  in- 
jecting a  smul  amount  of  virulent  blood  into  his  system,  as  was  peT- 
formed  on  the  test  pig,  the  hog  vrill  without  any  apparent  sickness  be- 
etnne  immune  to  the  cholera  permanently.  There  may  be  a  loss  of  u 
high  as  two  per  cent  with  this  process,  but  if  serum  alone  is  used,  and 
five  to  ten  days  later  serum  and  virulent  blood  used,  there  will  be  no 
loss  and  the  immunity  will  be  permanent. 

Obviously  the  Iatt« 
usually  called  the  si 
process  respectively. 

During  the  summe 
com  belt,  and  Kansai 
somewhat  foreseen  by  the  present  live-stock  commissioner,  for  an  ap- 
propriation for  a  serum  plant  had  been  obtained  from  the  legislature 
some  time  before  and  a  material  increaee  of  ita  maintenance  had  been 
provided  by  the  legislature  of  I9I1. 

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  this  plant,  operated  at  its  highest 
capacity,  has  supplied  as  much  as  400,000  cc.  of  serum  within  a  week, 
many  requests  for  serum  could  not  be  filled  during  the  fall  of  1911.  The 
result  was,  many  owners,  confident  of  the  efficiency  of  potent  semm 
properly  applied  to  immunize  their  hogs  against  cholera,  did  nothing  and 
lost  their  hogs.  Others  obtained  serum  from  commercial  firms.  Somt 
had  good  reeults,  and  others,  due  to  the  use  of  impotent  serum,  eitfaer 
improperly  made  or  not  carefully  handled,  experienced  very  disastrous 
results.  Some  owners  obtained  materials  presumed  to  be  serum,  bat 
which  are  not  remotely  related  to  anti -hog-cholera  aerum.  and  almost 
universally  met  with  disaster. 

From  the  above  review  of  the  situation,  it  is  easily  seen  that  good 
serum  has  had  its  imitators  and  that  the  serum  immunisation  of  iiogt 
probably  has  some  enemies,  but  these  are  practically  all  owners  who 
nave  not  had  experience  with  potent  aerum  properly  applied  by  en  ex- 
perienced operator. 

In  a  large  number  of  instances  where  potent  serum  and  an  ex- 
perienced operator  has  immunized  hogs  under  the  direction  of  this  office 
satisfaction  to  the  owner  has  been  almost  universal,  especially  when  he 
exposed  his  hogs  to  the  disease  and  proved  them  immune. 

There  has  been  an  attempt  made  to  obtain  a  record  of  most  of  the  ont- 
breaks  of  hog  cholera  and  the  steps  taken  to  suppress  the  disease.  The 
statistics  acquired  are  interesting  and  educational.  They  show  hog  cholera 
occurring  in  nearly  every  county  in  Kansas,  and  that  practically  every 
known  remedial  agent  has  been  tried  to  control  the  disease.  Id  fo^* 
eases  mediocre  results  were  obtained  from  the  use  cf  serum  b;  inex- 
perienced persons,  who,  if  observing  and  supplied  with  good  senini,  will 
usually  have  better  results  the  next  time.  In  Other  instances,  Berum  of 
indefinite  composition  and  potency,  in  the  hands  of  good  operators,  has 
given  poor  results.  This  teaches  the  lesson  that  one  can  not  be  too  care- 
fol  in  his  scrutiny  of  the  ability  and  care  of  the  manufacturer  «>o 
supplies  him  to  make  a  highly  potent  and  un contaminated  product. 
Finally,  it  is  gratifying  to  note  that  in  every  instance  where  the  *™JJ

treated  b^  the  many  deputies  of  this  office  over  the  state,  and  in  some 
cases  owners  have  failea  to  report  the  results,  as  requested,  even  after 
several  letters  were  sent.  It  is  safe  to  assume,  however,  that  praetically 
all  of  the  cases  where  hf^s  were  tost  were  reported,  and  in  a  few  cases 
where  the  disease  had  become  well  started  there  were  losses,  for  serum  is 
not  a  cure  for  cholera,  only  a  preventive,  and  should  be  used  before 
trouble  starts  to  insure  the  best  results. 

In  conclusion,  it  is  well  to  remember  that  the  state  manufactures  and 
aeils  the  genuine  hog-cholera  serum. 

The  cost  of  state  serum  is  less  than  that  of  most  commercial  Arms. 

The  serum,  if  made  correctly  by  people  who  know  how  and  properly 
applied,  will  positively  prevent  a  hog  from  contracting  cholera.  Im- 
munity may  be  very  temporary  or  permanent,  according  to  process  used. 
The  process  used  necessarily  depends  somewhat  upon  local  circumstances. 

Id  cases  of  doubt,  call  on  the  live-stock  sanitary  commissioner  or  his 
veterinarian  and  get  advice  as  to  what  to  do,  or  a  demonstration  of  how 
to  apply  the  serum  process,  if  you  desire  it.

THE  HORSE  PLAGUE. 

The  most  important  and  serious  problem  that  came  before 
the  department  during  the  year  was  the  so-called  "horse 
plague"  which  broke  outin  Ness  county  in  July.  It  was  not 
reported  until  the  closing  days  of  the  month,  and  it  instinc- 
tively appealed  to  me  as  something  that  needed  the  most 
prompt  attention  and  heroic  treatment. 

The  first  reports  made  to  me  expressed  the  belief  that  the 
disease  was  caused  by  fungus  poisoning,  owing  to  an  excess  of 
moisture  falling  upon  the  grass  after  a  period  of  intense  heat. 
Other  and  later  reports  indicated  that  it  was  caused  by  an  un- 
known bacteria,  while  a  third  group  of  people  believed  it  to 
be  dae  to  a  troublesome  worm  of  some  sort.  The  necessity  for 
practical  and  energetic  investigation  was  apparent,  and  I  dis- 
patched Prof.  T.  J.  Haslam,  bacteriologist  of  the  veterinary 
department  of  the  State  Agricultural  College,  to  the  scene  of 
the  trouble. 

This  was  on  August  1.  With  the  characteristic  energy  and 
intelligence  of  that  branch  of  the  public  service,  Professor 
Haslam  made  a  report  by  wire,  telling  me  that  he  considered 
the  disease  serious,  not  only  in  Ness  county,  but  a  menace 
to  the  horses  of  the  surrounding  counties,  as  it  was  spreading 
rapidly.  He  believed  that  a  corps  of  veterinary  experts  should 
be  placed  in  the  field  at  once  to  combat  the  disease.  Accord- 
ingly, I  wired  Dr.  A.  T.  Kinsley,  of  the  Kansas  City  Veterinary 
College,  and  Drs.  J.  H.  Burt  and  R.  R.  Dykstra,  of  the  State

Agricultural  College,  to  proceed  at  once  to  the  west  and  make 
a  thorou8:h  investigation  of  the  situation. 

These  gentlemen  responded  in  a  manner  that  was  hi^y 
creditable  to  their  profession.  This  investigation  covered  a 
period  of  fifteen  days.  In  the  meantime  the  disease  was 
spreading  so  rapidly  that  thirty  counties  were  affected  by 
August  15.  Telegrams  poured  into  my  office,  as  well  as  to 
the  ofRce  of  the  governor,  from  every  quarter,  requesting  re- 
lief, A  panic  prevailed,  and  night  and  day  my  department 
worked  to  employ  and  assemble  veterinary  surgeons  wherever 
we  could  get  them  to  take  the  field.  The  prompt  action  of  the 
governor  in  tendering  my  department  the  sum  of  $2000  from 
his  contingent  fund,  and  as  much  more  as  necessary,  gave  great 
stimulus  to  our  Campaign  against  the  disease.  This  encourage- 
ment enabled  not  only  myself  but  the  veterinary  surgeons  to 
make  the  fight  with  better  courage  and  a  greater  assurance 
of  success. 

The  subsequent  action  of  the  governor  in  offering  a  reward  of 
$1000  for  a  cure  for  the  disease  aroused  widespread  interest, 
and  veterinary  and  live-stock  departments  in  other  western 
states  came  into  the  fight  wi^h  the  livliest  official  and  pro- 
fes^onal  enthusiasm. 

By  the  last  of  August  sixty  counties  in  the  state  were 
affected,  and  there  was  a  hopelessness  as  to  cure  that  would 
have  caused  tJie  utmost  discouragement  were  it  not  for  the 
loyalty  and  determination  of  the  men  who  were  making  the 
fight. 

For  some  reason  the  general  government  showed  an  in- 
activity in  giving  us  assistance  in  the  face  of  this  menace. 
In  addition  to  the  governor  sending  many  telegrams  to  Presi- 
dent Taft  in  regard  to  the  matter,  I  made  an  official  and 
personal  appeal  to  the  chief  of  the  National  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry  to  give  us  some  help  in  the  way  of  veterinary  experts. 
More  than  two  weeks  passed  before  they  abandoned  their 
attitude  of  seeming  indifference.  Then  they  sent  some  help, 
and  the  harmonious  cooperation  between  the  state  and  national 
departments  which  followed  caused  fresh  encouragement  to 
possess  us.  But  with  our  best  efforts  and  most  intelligent 
direction,  we  were  unable  definitely  to  find  either  the  cause  or 
a  cure  for  the  disease,  notwithstanding  the  most  earnest 
pursuit  through  the  modem  channels  of  scientific  investigation 
and  experimentation. 

The  following  bulletin  shows  recommeindations  and  con- 
clusions of  the  experts  in  charge :

It  was  the  prevailing  opinion  of  those  attending  the  conference  that 
this  epidonic  was  primarily  brought  on  by  climatic  conditions  and  that  it 
was  not  considered  to  be  contagious. 

The  recommendations,  which  do  not  differ  much  from  the  previous 
ofEcial  recommendations  for  the  prevention  of  this  disease,  are  as  follows; 

1.  That  all  horses  and  mules  be  taken  oS  pasture  until  the  disease 
disappears  from  the  state. 

2.  Feed  these  animals  a  limited  quantity  of  clean,  dry  hay  or  straw, 
and  clean,  sonnd  grain.  Where  straw  is  given,  use  a  liberal  supply  'of 
bran. 

3.  Avoid  use  of  hay  cut  from  low  or  overflowed  land  or  land  receiv- 
ing drainage  from  pasture  or  barnyard. 

4.  See  that  the  horses  have  a  pure,  wholesome  water  supply,  free 
from  surface  drainage,  and  that  th^  are  excluded  from  all  stagnant  or 
surface  water. 

5.  Empty,  clean  and  thoroughly  disinfect  all.  water  troughs  and  tanks 
by  scrubbing  out  with  a  solution  of  four  ounces  of  carbolic  acid  in  one 
gallon  of  water,  once  a  week. 

6.  This  disease  is  one  that  can  be  controlled  by  strictly  observing  the 
above  sanitary  measures.  Some  horses  will  die  after  being  fed  on  dry 
feed,  bnt  horse  owners  should  not  become  discouraged,  but  should  con- 
tinue to  keep  them  off  pasture  and  provide  proper  feed  and  water  as 
recomnaended. 

7.  In  our  opinion  no  vaccine  against  this  disease  has  been  fully  tried 
out.  Good  results  appear  to  have  followed  the  use  of  the  vaccine  de- 
veloped by  the  Agricultural  College  and  the  state  live-stock  sanitary 
commissioner,  but  it  is  yet  in  its  experimental  stage.  It  is  strictly  urged 
that  the  farmers  do  not  use  any  of  the  commercial  vaccine  offered.  Many 
of  them  are  known  to  be  worthless  and  some  are  positively  harmful  In 
case  of  an  outbreak,  cooperation  with  the  Agricultural  College  in  further 
t^ing  this  vaccine  is  greatly  to  be  desired. 

8.  In  any  eve'nt  whether  using  vaccine  or  not,  it  is  important  to  fol- 
low the  above  directions  with  respect  to  feed  and  water. 

d.  Thus  far  no  curative  measures  by  use  of  drugs  or  medicines  have 
proven  successful. 

WARNING. 

Office  of  LivE-aTocK  Sanitary  Commissioner, 
TOPEKA,  Kan.,  Sept.  30,  1912. 

In  many  sections  of  the  state  unscrupulous  persons  have  been  and  are 
taking  advantage  of  the  unfortunate  conditions  and  grafting  off  the 
fanners  by  representing  they  have  remedies  that  will  cure  the  disease 
among  their  horses.  This  is  nothing  more  or  less  than  a  steal,  and  such 
grafters  and  venders  ought  to  be  prosecuted,  and  this  department  will 
assist  county  authorities  in  any  way  possible  to  do  so,  if  notified. 

I  would  suggest  to  owners  of  horses  that  they  pay  no  money  to  any 
persons  who  are  selling  these  fake  remedies,  for.it  has  been  thoroughly 
demonstrated  that  there  is  no  cure  for  this  disease  by  the  application  of 
medicines  of  any  kind.  J.  H.  MercBr. 

One  significant  development  of  the  inquiiy  was  this:  that 
very  few  horses  kept  on  dry  feed  and  watered  from  wells  took 
the  disease.    It  was  confined  almost  exclusively  to  horses  in

pastures  and  watered  from  ponds  or  streams.    This  naturally 

inclined  people's  minds  to  the  first  two  theories — fungus  and 

bacterial  poisoning. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  veterinary  department  of  the 

State  Agricultural  College  will  write  and  publish  a  bulletin 

treating  the  subject  in  detail  from  a  professional  aspect. 
The  disease  cost  Kansas  dearly,  not  only  in  the  individual 

losses  to  horse  owners,  but  on  account  of  the  depletion  of  the 

horsepower  required  in  the  preparation  of  the  fields  for  the 

sowing  of  wheat  and  other  crops. 
.The  best  estimate  secured  by  the  department  from  the  clerks 

in  the  various  counties  of  the  infected  district  shows  a  loss  of 

25,000  head  of  horses  and  mules — a  property  loss  to  the  state 

of  two  million  dollars  or  more. 

The  expense  to  the  state  in  combating  the  disease  was  as 

follows : 

Paid  out  of  govemor't  contingent  fvnd:

•  KANSAS  STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOLS. 


REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  REGENTS. 
Hon.  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor  of  Kansas: 

Dear  Sir — In  the  remarkable  forward  movement  that  has 
characterized  Kansas  education  in  the  past  few  years,  the  Nor- 
mal Schools  have  had  no  small  share.  In  the  reports  to  this 
Board  of  the  President  and  Principals  of  the  schools,  which 
are  herewith  transmitted  to  accompany  this  report,  it  will  be 
seen  that  in  the  adjustment  and  expansion  of  the  Normal 
School  work  the  schools  have  been  recognizing  the  changing 
and  increasing  demands  incident  to  this  growth  of  our  entire 
educational  system,  and  have  been  setting  for  themselves  con> 
tinually  higher  standards  of  efficiency  to  keep  pace  with  the 
educational  growth  of  the  state.  The  marked  increase  of  at- 
tendance upon  the  Normal  Schools,  particularly  in  the  light 
of  the  fact  that  the  old  demands  for  elementary  instruction 
once  made  upon  the  Normal  Schools  are  now  to  a  great  extent 
being  met  by  the  high  schools  and  the  students  attending  the 
Normal  Schools  are  coming  to  be  more  and  more  high-school 
graduates,  is  very  gratifying. 

The  standard  of  requirement  for  the  preparation  of  teachers 
of  every  grade  is  of  necessity  rapidly  rising.  This  is  true  not 
only  of  the  high  schools,  which  have  had  an  astonishing  de- 
velopment in  number  and  enrollment  during  recent  years,  but 
also  of  the  elementary  school.  The  number  of  new  subjects 
to  which  attention  must  be  directed  in  the  course  of  study,  the 
underlying  preparation  required  for  teaching  these  subjects, 
the  general  demands  for  a  broader  scientific  and  literary  train- 
ing with  which  teachers  of  every  grade  must  keep  pace,  the 
test  of  social  efficiency,  which  is  increasing  the  significance 
and  importance  of  school  work  everywhere,  have  all  been  ele- 
ments contributing  to  this  result.  It  never  was  more  im- 
portant that  teachers  be  trained,  and  well  trained,  than  to-day ; 
and  the  importance  of  the  Normal  School  system  and  the  re- 
sponsibility placed  upon  it  to  meet  these  conditions  has  never 
been  greater.  We  believe  that  the  policies  represented  in  the

development  of  the  Normal  Schools  of  Kansas  have  been  vise!)' 
directed  toward  this  end,  and  that  the  schools  are  in  a  tugh 
degree  of  efficiency  in  meeting  the  purpose  for  which  the  state 
created  them,'  as  the  state's  first  and  most  important  agent  for 
the  training  of  teachers  for  all  grades  of  the  public  schools. 
The  Normal  Schools  have  been  diligently  concerned  with  the 
problems  both  of  the  elementary  and  the  secondary  field  of 
public  education.  Neither  is  overlooked  or  neglected  in  the 
plan  of  organization ;  and  the  work  being  done  in  Kansas  in  the 
way  of  professional  preparation  of  teachers  through  the  Nor- 
mal Schools  is  attracting  nation-wide  attention  and  has  given 
the  state  a  recognized  and  high-placed  leadership  in  this  par- 
ticular field  of  public  education.  In  the  nature  of  the  case,  no 
educational  investment  that  the  state  makes  yields  a  more  di- 
1  ect  and  valuable  return  than  that  made  for  the  training  of 
teachers  in  the  Normal  Schools.  Its  results,  perhaps,  can  not 
always  be  easily  exploited  in  a  material  or  commercial  way; 
but  it  is  none  the  less  true  that  the  return  to  the  state  is  im- 
mediate and  fundamental ;  and  more  far-reaching  and  neces- 
sary than  any  other  phase  of  higher  education.  Through  the 
schools  as  through  no  other  community  agency  all  socie^  i.' 
reached.  The  adequate  training  of  teachers  is  a  most  vital 
and  essential  part  of  the  state's  function  in  maintaining  a  com- 
mon-school system.  This  conclusion  will  be  generally  accepted 
without  argument,  yet  it  is  to  be  feared  that,  in  the  light  of  the 
pressure  of  the  enlarging  demands  made  upon  teachers  and 
schools  in  all  lines  of  educational  growth,  there  is  by  no  means 
a  full  appreciation  of  the  relative  importance  of  the  work  of 
teacher  training  as  represented  by  the  Normal  Schools  as 
part  of  the  higher  educational  system  of  the  state.  The  higher 
educational  system  of  Kansas  has  three  coordinate  branches. 
The  Normal  School  system,  including  a  group  of  schools,  are 
in  genera!  purpose  and  scope  one  of  them.  The  number  of 
students  in  attendance,  the  immediate  and  direct  significance 
of  their  work  to  the  state,  as  already  pointd  out,  and  the  ne- 
cessity for  setting  the  highest  standards  of  educational  leader- 
ship through  the  Nonnal  Schools  for  the  whole  educational 
system,  make  the  claim  of  the  Normal  Schools  for  material 
recognition  proportionate  to  their  needs  and  their  possibilities 
a  paramount  one.  In  no  class  of  schools  of  the  state  should  the 
standards  of  personality,  scholastic  attainment,  expert  train-

ing  and  teaching  power  be  higher  than  in  the  Normal  Schools ; 
in  no  class  of  schools  should  the  scale  of  instructors'  salaries 
be  higher,  the  facilities  for  thorough  instruction  be  better,  and 
the  buildings  and  equipment  be  more  adequate  for  the  ac- 
commodation of  students.  In  presenting,  therefore,  the  esti- 
mates for  maintenance,  equipment  and  additional  buildings 
for  the  three  schools  under  their  charge,  the  Board,  after  care- 
ful consideration  of  every  item,  present  the  budget  based  upon 
the  recommendations  of  the  President  and  Principals,  with 
their  approval  and  the  full  confidence  that  it  represents  ex- 
penditures justified  by  the  growth  of  the  schools  and  for  which 
the  state  is  destined  to  receive  a  profitable  return. 

Following  are  the  estimates  of  the  amounts  deemed  neces- 
sary for  maintenance  and  permanent  improvements  for  each 
of  the  three  schools.  The  reasons  in  detail  for  the  various 
items  in  the  budget  are  quite  fully  discussed  in  the  reports  of 
the  President  and  Principals.

It  Will  be  noted  that  durinjr  the  fiscal  year  1911-'12,  $1080.89 
was  collected  for  rent  of  the  lands  in  the  Fort  Haya  Military 
Reservation,  granted  by  the  national  government  to  the  state 
specifically  for  the  use  of  the  Western  Branch  of  the  State 
Normal  School,  and  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College. 
The  language  of  the  bill  making  this  grant  to  the  state  is  very 
explicit.  "Whenever  the  lands  shall  cease  to  be  used  in  said 
state  for  the  purpose  herein  mentioned  the  same  shall  revert 
to  the  United  States."  The  rental  already  collected  for  the  fiscal 
year  1912-'13  up  to  October  1  is  $7308.73.  According  to  the 
provisions  of  the  appropriation  bill  passed  by  the  last  legis- 
lature,  these  amounts  were  required  to  be  paid  into  the  state 
treasury,  to  become  a  part  of  the  general  fund  of  the  state, 
thus  diverting  them  from  the  clear  intent  of  the  grant,  which 
made  the  proceeds  of  the  lands  a  form  of  endowment  for  the 
school.  A  serious  question  arose  as  to  the  legaHty  of  this  use 
of  these  funds,  and  on  full  conference  with  the  state  officers 
concerned,  the  attorney  general,  the  auditor  and  treasurer  of 
state  and  the  representatives  of  this  Board,  the  collections 
have  been  paid  into  the  state  treasury,  but  have  been  there 
preserved  as  a  separate  fund,  which  has  thus  far  been  held 
intact  and  remains  unexpended.  The  responsibility  for  the 
rental,  the  collection  of  rents,  the  care  and  improvement  of 
the  4000  acres  of  land  allotted  to  the  Normal  School,  by  act 
of  the  legislature  and  under  the  provisions  of  the  national 
grant  when  the  school  was  established,  has  been  no  small  item 
as  an  administrative  duty  of  this  Board,  and  requires  a  ^eat 
degree  of  time  and  attention  on  the  part  of  the  Principal  and 
the  representatives  of  this  Board.  It  seems  a  matter  of  simple 
justice  to  tiie  school  that  the  rent  from  tiie  lands  should  for 
the  next  two  years,  as  in  the  past,  be  appropriated  to  the  use 
■of  the  school  and  that  the  amount  now  in  the  treasury  should 
be  made  immediately  available  for  its  needs  during  the  re- 
mainder of  the  current  fiscal  year.

Board  of  Regents'  Report.  15- 

In  connection  with  the  matter  of  the  development  of  the 
three  schools  as  a  system  of  Normal  School  instruction,  and 
their  relation  to  each  other,  your  attention  is  specificall>'' 
directed  to  that  portion  of  the  report  of  the  President  of  the 
schools  in  which  the  subject  is  discussed  and  in  which  is  out- 
lined the  general  administrative  policy  under  which  the 
schools  should  be  developed.  Acting  under  the  direction  of  this 
Board,  the  President  and  Principals  have  outlined  for  each  of 
•  the  three  schools  a  possible  four  years  of  work  above  the  high 
school,  but  with  the  limitation  that  each  school  is  to  have  its 
major  development  along  a  special  line.  The  Board  believe 
that  it  is  very  desirable  to  preserve  the  integrity  of  the  Nor- 
mal School  system,  so  that  the  schools  may  develop  with  as 
little  duplication  and  competition  as  possible,  and  that  under 
present  conditions  this  end  can  beat  be  accomplished  not  so 
much  by  centralization  in  administration  as  by  shaping  some- 
what definitely  the  scope,  through  legislation,  of  the  activities 
of  each  of  the  schools.  With  this  idea  in  view,  the  Board  in 
June  last  adopted  the  following  resolutions,  in  the  support  of 
which  the  Board  and  the  administration  of  all  the  schools  are 
united. 

1.  It  is  the  sense  of  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  State  Nor- 
mal Schools  of  Kansas  that  the  administration  of  the  three 
Normal  Schools  of  Kansas  shall  be  under  separate  manage- 
ment so  far  as  the  heads  of  the  three  institutions  are  con- 
cerned. 

2.  That  the  heads  of  the  three  institutions  shall  constitute 
a  committee  on  the  curriculum  and  Normal  School  extension, 
whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  make  recommendations  to  the  Board 
of  Regents  on  matters  requiring  uniformity  of  usage  in  con- 
nection with  the  maintenance  of  standards  of  scholarship  and 
school  organization  and  all  matters  of  cooperation  with  respect 
to  the  extension  of  the  work  of  the  schools. 

3.  It  is  the  sense  of  the  Board  of  Regents  that  the  scope  of 
these  institutions  should  be  definitely  determined  by  legis- 
lation, so  that  each  shall  have  its  special  line  of  activity,  the 
School  at  Emporia  being  a  general  school  for  the  training  of 
teachers,  the  industrial  phases  of  teacher  training  being 
specially  emphasized  at  Pittsburg,  and  the  agricultural  phases 
of  teacher  training  at  Hays. 

The  Board  have  appointed  a  committee  to  formulate  in  de- 
tail before  the  session  of  the  legislature  the  ideas  suggested  in

the  above  resolution.  The  members  of  the  Board  of  Regents, 
in  the  light  of  their  experience  in  dealing  with  the  problems 
of  administration  of  the  Normal  Schools  of  Kansas,  have  an 
increasing  appreciation  of  the  importance  of  the  work  that 
they  are  doing.  It  is  highly  desirable  that  they  should  have 
an  untrammelled  opportunity  to  reach  their  maximum  of 
efficiency.  This  we  believe  can  be  realized  under  such  a  broad 
general  policy  as  is  here  outlined.  It  can  not  be  effectively 
and  economically  realized  except  as  all  local  and  personal  in- 
terests are  subordinate  and  the  problem  is  viewed  only  bb  a 
state-wide  problem.  We  believe  that  there  is  no  present  need 
for  additional  normal  schools,  but  that  the  state  should  provide 
with  wise  liberality  for  those  it  has  established. 
Respectfully  submitted.

REPORT  OF  THE  PRESIDENT. 


To  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  State  Normal  Schools: 

Gentu:uen. — In  presenting  my  third  biennial  report  as  President  of 
the  Kansas  State  Normal  Schools,  it  is  with  a  feeling  of  deep  satis- 
faction that  I  record  the  marked  and  grenuine  progress  that  has  char- 
acterized the  development  of  all  the  schools  constituting  the  Normal 
School  system  during  the  period  covered  by  the  report.  Two  years  ago, 
during  the  school  year  1909-'10  the  three  schools  enrolled  a  total  of  339S 
students;  last  year,  1911-'12,  4416,  an  increase  of  1020.  Some  significant 
facts  about  the  distribution  and  character  of  the  enrollment  will  be  dis- 
cussed in  a  later  portion  of  this  report.  The  enrollment  of  the  currrait 
year  is  already  so  far  in  excess  of  last  year  in  all  the  schools  as  to  in- 
dicate an  increase  of  not  less  than  500  or  600  in  the  total  for  the  year. 
But  increase  of  enrollment,  while  it  has  an  important  bearing  upon  the 
provision  to  be  made  for  the  needs  of  the  schools,  is  not  necessarily  the 
most  significant,  though  it  may  be  the  most  obvious,  indication  of  growth. 
More  effective  organization,  "bettor  facilities  for  instruction,  the  rise  in 
the  general  standards  of  preparation  of  students,  the  expansion  and  the 
adaptation  of  the  course  of  study  to  continually  growing  educational  needs 
— in  all  these  particulars  the  progress  of  the  biennium  has  been  great, 
and  granted  adequato  provision  for  these  needs  and  adequato  protection 
of  the  present  general  policy  for  their  organization  and  development,  the 
opportunity  before  the  Normal  Schools  for  serving  the  stato  ^ectively 
has  never  been  greater. 

The  moat  notable  fact  of  the  biennium  in  connection  with  the  School 
at  Emporia  is  the  definito  completion  of  the  oi^nization  of  the  various 
departments,  so  as  to  make  it  in  fact,  as  it  should  be  in  name,  a  teachers' 
college,  complete  in  its  recognition  of  every  phase  of  work  demanded  by 
the  public-school  systom  of  the  state.  This  has  beai  in  process  of  evo- 
lution for  the  past  six  years  and  has  been  quite  fully  discussed  in  pre- 
ceding reports.     The  present  organization  includes: 

1.  The  Elementary  Model  or  Practice  School,  including  the  kinder- 
gart«n  and  the  eighth  primary,  intermediato  and  grammar  grades,  en- 
rolling from  300  to  400  pupils,  with  a  specially  selected  faculty  of  expert 
teachers,  exercising  the  double  function  of  direct  instruction  of  the  chil- 
dren and  supervision  and  criticism  of  the  practice  work  of  student  teach- 
ers in  training.  This  is  a  phase  of  our  organization  that  has  always  been 
recognized  as  essential,  and  has  been  marked  by  no  special  change  during 
the  biennium  except  the  increase  of  facihties  for  doing  well  the  various 
new  lines  of  work  that  are  now  coming  into  the  course  of  study  of  the 
elementary  school  and  the  perfection  *f  plans  to  link  with  the  model 
school  more  closely  the  work  of  instruction  in  the  various  department.^ 
«f  the  college.

18  State  Normal  Schools. 

2.  The  Secondary  School,  also  with  a  distinct  organisation  and  a 
separate  faculty  of  teachers  whose  special  study  is  the  high-school  prob- 
lem. This  organization  ia  made  with  ultimat*  reference  to  its  exclusiTe 
function  aa  a  model  high  school,  but  it  also  serves  the  present  purpose 
of  caring  for  the  needs  of  a  large  constituency  of  rural  and  other  teachen 
needing  normal  training  who  have  not  yet  reached  the  standing  of  higb- 
school  graduates.  The  organization  of  this  normal-training  high  school 
as  a  distinct  department,  toward  which  work  has  heat  pointing  for  sev- 
eral years,  was  definitely  completed  last  year,  with  Dr.  J.  R.  Jewell  as 
principal  and  a  strong  corps  of  specially  selected  teachers  representing 
the  several  departments  of  high-school  work.  Under  your  authority, 
rooms  formerly  used  for  gymnasium  purposes  were  divided  up  into 
recitation  rooms  for  the  use  of  the  high  school,  with  a  number  of  classes 
overflowing  into  the  Science  Hall  and  the  Main  Building,  particularlj 
the  basement,  as  a  temporary  expedient  to  meet  the  needs  of  this  part 
(rf  the  school.  Provision  was  made  for  graduating  exercises,  and  the  first 
class  of  seventy  members  completed  the  course  in  June,  1912.  The  or- 
gunization  of  the  normal  high  school  has  already  been  unexpectedly  far- 
reaching  in  its  beneficial  effects,  and  has  added  greatly  to  the  interest, 
thoroughness  and  effectiveness  of  work  among  the  nomul  stndoits  of 
secondary  grade. 

3.  The  Normal  College,  in  which  are  represoited  all  the  departmeols 
necessitated  by  the  present  conditions  of  public-school  teaching  in  the 
state.  The  organization  of  departments  as  constituted  last  year  is  aa 
follows:  Psychology  and  philosophy,  school  administration,  history  sod 
principles  of  education,  rural-school  administration,  primary  education, 
secondary  education,  zoology  and  geology,  agriculture  (for  the  present, 
however,  grouped  with  biology),  botany,  chemistry,  physics,  physiology 
and  hygiene,  geography,  English,  mathsnatics,  European. history,  Ameri- 
can history,  political  science,  economics  and  sociology,  Latin,  modeni 
languages,  library  science,  music,  drawing,  manual  training,  home 
economics,  commerce,  speech  arts,  physical  training.  The  position  of 
Dean  of  the  College  was  established  and  Prof.  T.  M.  Iden  was  elected 
to  the  places 

With  reference  to  the  scope  of  the  Normal  College,  it  may  be  said 
that  the  schone  of  the  course  of  study  provides,  broadly  speaking,  that 
of  the  124  semester  hours  required  for  graduation  in  the  four-year  course, 
thirty  must  be  in  the  general  courses  in  education,  apprrajmately  thirty 
more  in  some  selected  major  representing  the  department  of  work  in 
which  special  t«aching  preparation  is  being  made,  the  remainder  being 
made  up  of  prescribed  and  elective  work,  the  prescribed  work  IsFg^f 
having  reference  to  teaching  requiremeits.  In  the  shorts,  or  life- 
diploma  course  of  two  years,  Qiere  is  special  provision  for  certificates  of 
proficiency  in  primary  and.  grammar-grade  work,  and  in  music,  drawing 
and  other  studies  for  which  the  common  schools  are  now  requiring  special 
taachers;  in  all  the  branches  tauf^t  in  the  elementary  school  special 
courses  in  methods  are  arrange^  to  be  closely  linked  with  the  work  in 
observation  and  practice.  These  details  are  given  in  order  to  emphauK 
the  fact  that  there  is  a  clear  and  conaistcnt  recognition  that  the  dominsnt 
purpose  of  the  Normal  School — the  training  of  teachers — must  be  the

PREsroENT's  Report.  19 

determining  factor  in  the  organization  of  all  work,  and  that  the  demanda 
of  elonentary  as  well  as  high-school  teaching  are  carefully  considered 
and  met.  With  the  single  exception  of  the  departm^it  of  music,  where, 
in  addition  to  the  work  in  public-school  music,  individual  instruction  is 
given  in  voice  and  instrumental  music,  there  is  no  organization  of  work 
for  speeial  students.  In  such  lines  as  commerce,  art,  home  economics, 
library  science,  they  are  accommodated  incidentally,  but  the  organization 
of  all  work  is  an  integral  part  of  the  general  course  with  particular 
reference  to  preparing  teachers.  The  practical  effect  of  this  is  to  limit 
tVe  attendance  of  the  Normal  School  <or  Teachers'  College,  to  use  the 
proper  descriptive  term)  largely,  and  graduation  entirely,  to  those 
students  who  are  willing  to  consider  preparation  for  teaching  as  the 
special  purpose  of  their  education.  The  ideal  of  the  Normal  School  is 
a:!equate  scholastic  preparation  un;'er  circumstances  that  will  foster  the 
broadest  and  most  accurate  scholarship,  but  with  the  professional  spirit 
pervading  every  department,  and  with  every  departanent  linked  as  in- 
timately as  possible  with  the  work  of  the  training  school,  which  is  to  the 
frachers'  College  what  the  farm  is  to  the  agricultural  college,  th^  moot 
court  to  the  law  school,  the  clinic  and  the  hospital  to  the  medical  school. 
The  organization  of  the  work  in  every  department  is  to  a  great  extent 
.  differentiated  from  that  of  an  ordinary  college  by  reason  of  this  ped- 
agogical problem.  This  pervasive  teaching  atmostphere  is  impossible  in 
the  U ni ver si ty,* unless  its  school  of  education  become  a  fully  developed 
organism  witii  its  fully  equipped  training  school  and  all  departments 
represented,  as  is  the  case  in  the  Teachers'  College  of  Columbia  Uni- 
versity and  is  now  the  evolution  in  such  institutions  as  Chicago  and  Wis- 
cimsin.  This,  under  the  conditions  in  Kansas,  will  be  an  expensive  and 
undesirable  reduplication,  when  the  state  has  already  so  fully  provided 
for  that  work  in  what  should  be  recognized  as  the  Teachers'  College  of 
the  university  system  of  Kansas.  There  is  a  field  of  educational  re- 
search— property  graduate  work — into  which  as  yet  the  Normal  Schools 
have  not  assumed  to  go,  nor,  in  fact,  has  it  as  yet  had  any  material 
development  in  the  University.  Such  graduate  work,  it  is  conceded,  is  a 
legitimate  function  of  the  University,  just  as  is  graduate  work  in  all 
lines  of  study  leading  to  advanced  degrees.  The  Normal  Schools  are 
more  concerned  in  exalting  the  teaching  function  and  in  setting  adequate 
standards  of  professional  preparation  for  those  who  are  going  directly 
into  the  deld  to  meet  the  present  demands.  It  may  well  be  held,  however, 
that  the  rigid  logic  of  the  situation  as  it  exists  in  Kansas,  where  there 
are  three  coSrdinate  branches  of  the  higher  educational  system,  would 
centralize  all  the  activities  bddnging  to  the  school  of  education  with  the 
institution  already  fully  developed  and  equipped  as  a  Teachers'^  College.

fied aa  a  department  of  Normal  School  administration  and  extension,  in- 
cluding the  library,  museum  (as  yet  but  tittle  developed  on  the  educational 
side),  and  Oie  various  agencies  for  the  extension  of  Normal  School  work 
in  the  fidd,  through  correspondoice  instruction,  extension  lectures,  school

tion  of  practical  educational  information  through  bulIetiDB,  correspoiid- 
ence  and  library  extension.  Something  is  being  done  in  all  these  lines, 
but  the  work  should  be  unified  and  greatly  enlarg^.  We  are  just  on  tbe 
threshold  of  its  organized  possibilities,  and  this  work,  with  teacbert  in 
the  field,  school  officers  and  other  educational  agencies,  ia  the  legitimate 
sphere  of  social  service  in  which  the  leadership  of  the  Normal  Schools 
should  be  exerted,  and  represents  their  share  in  the  now  rapidly  de- 
veloping work  in  extension  into  various  phases  of  which  the  Universi^ 
and  the  Agricultural  College  have  gone. 

Specific  reference  should  be  made  to  certain  definite  advances  that 
have  marked  the  progress  of  the  biennium  in  perfecUng  the  organization 
that  has  just  been  described  and  laying  the  foundations  for  future  growtL 
Among  these  are  to  be  noted : 

1.  The  appointment  of  a  Registrar,  as  a  full-time  officer,  to  direct  all 
matters  concerning  the  registration,  credits  and  classification  of  students. 
The  ctmduct  of  this  work  has  been  greatly  unified  and  improved,  and  with 
the  system  of  faculty  advisers  inaugurated  this  year  under  the  direction 
of  Registrar  Bixler,  there  is  likely  to  be  a  much  greater  economy  of  tiim 
and  efficiency  in  the  adjustment  of  work  both  for  teachers  and  stndoiti. 

2.  The  organization  of  an  appointment  bureau  on  a  cooperative  basis, 
maintained  jointly  by  the  institution  and  the  aaaociation  of  Noniul 
alumni.  The  institution  has  for  years,  through  the  officers  of  the  training 
school,  readily  found  places  for  all  of  its  graduat«s  tftid  many  ande^ 
graduates,  frequently  finding  urgent  demands  which  could  not  be  8upF4icd. 
During  the  past  year,  under  the  efficient  direction  of  Mr.  Carl  W.  Salser, 
as  Alumni  Secretary,  the  cooperation  of  more  than  five  hundred  teachera 
in  the  field  have  been  enlisted,  and  the  work  as  organized  promises  to 
grow  rapidly  as  a  most  effective  means  of  serving  both  school  boards  and 
teachers. 

3.  The  letter  organization  of  the  social  life  of  the  school,  and  provision 
for  effective  watch  care  over  the  personal  and  social  interests,  particu- 
larly of  the  young  women  of  the  school.  Two  years  ago,  in  my  report,  I 
said:  "I  feel  more  keenly  than  any  phase  of  administrative  responaibilityi 
in  the  light  of  the  great  social  freedom  enjoyed  by  our  students,  distri- 
buted as  they  are  throughout  the  homes  .of  the  city,  the  need  of  niore 
perfect  oi^anization  of  all  our  plans  with  respect  to  the  physical,  socitl 
and  moral  welfare  of  our  students.  I  think  it  very  desirable  that  with 
the  beginning  of  the  next  school  year  there  be  added  to  our  faculty,  as 
Dean  of  Women,  a  woman  of  culture,  refinement,  and  the  sympathetic 
qualities  that  make  her  a  wise  counselgr  of  young  womanhood,  whose 
duties  shall  be  largely  administrative.  With  reference  to  the  housing  o' 
students,  I  believe  the  time  has  arrived  when  we  should  make  prorisioo 
for  a  dormitory  for  women,  which  shall  be  at  once  a  social  center  for  the 
life  of  the  women  of  the  school  and  the  means  of  accommodation  for  a  Isfe 
and  growing  class  for  whom  the  dormitory  life  seems  preferable  or  nee- 
essaty."  With  the  beginning  of  the  last  school  year  Miss  Harriet  L. 
Barber,  who  fills  ideally  the  conditions  deacritted,  entered  upon  her  work 
as  Dean  of  Women.  Her  rare  insight  into  the  needs  of  student  lift  w"" 
the  results  of  her  organizing  power  are  already  apparent  in  many  gratif]'-

ing  ways.  The  arrangement  entered  upon  at  the  beginning  of  the  cur- 
rent year,  whereby  the  Young  Women's  Christian  AsBoeiation  secretary 
becomes  assistant  to  the  Dean  of  Women  and  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association  secretary  coSperates  officially  with  the  Registrar  and  the 
Dean  of  the  College,  are  also  steps  contributing  to  the  desired  end  of 
systematizing  the  agencies  for  helpfulness  in  student  life.  The  moral  tone 
of  the  student  life  of  the  Kansas  State  Normal  School  is,  and  always  has 
been,  exceptionally  high.  It  may  be  doubted  whether  anywhere  a  school 
of  its  numbers  has  enjoyed  a  purer  or  more  healthful  life.  This  is  no 
less  true  to-day  than  formerly,  though  we  are  undergoing  a  social  transi- 
tion incident  to  the  general  conditions  of  life  in  the  state,  and  the  fact  that 
while  students  come  to  us  academically  better  prepared  than  formerly, 
they  are  appreciably  younger  and  include  a  much  smaller  percentage  of 
mature  men  and  women  with  extended  teaching  experience.  We  are 
seeking  to  work  out  the  ideal  of  a  free;  joyous  young  life  in  an  environ- 
ment where  purposes  will  be  high  and  moral  conditions  safe.  Such  an 
ideal,  we  believe,  with  the  spirit  of  our  present  faculty  and  the  organized 
agencies  at  work,  can  be  consistently  realized.  The  request  for  a  dormi- 
tory, however,  made  two  years  ago  still  represents  a  definite  need  and 
should  be  renewed  in  the  present  budget. 

4.  Closely  related  to  the  social  life  of  the  school  is  the  matter  of  the 
physical  environment  of  students,  and  in  this  matter  we  have  in  the 
Kansas  teachers'  college  possibilities  for  an  ideal  organization.  One 
advance  step  during  the  biennium  has  been  the  establishment  of  a  new 
department  of  "physiology  and  hygiene,  under  a  trained  physician,  whose 
duties  are  twofold:  first,  the  working  out  of  courses  of  instruction  in 
personal  and  community  hygiene  and  sanitation  as  part  of  the  equipment 
of  the  intending  teacher,  and  second,  a  general  supervision  of  the  con- 
ditions of  health  in  the  student  body  in  cooperation  with  the  resident  nurse 
and  with  the  physical-training  department.  Under  his  direction,  as 
chairman,  the  committee  on  student  health  and  ■sanitation  is  made  respons- 
ible for  the  systematic  inspection  of  rooming  houses.  The  physical-train- 
ing department  during  the  past  two  years,  with  its  splendid  building  and 
facilities,  has  oijoyed  a  remarkable  growth  in  the  work  offered  for  both 
men  and  women.  Much  valuable  corrective  work  is  being  done  especially 
for  women.  One  of  the  next  needs  in  this  particular  is  the  employment 
of  an  instructor  for  women  medically  trained,  who  can  devote  herself  ex- 
clusively to  corrective  work  and  to  the  presentation  of  courses  of  instruc- 
tion in  general  and  sex  hygiene. 

5.  The  development  of  our  library  as  a  special  pedagogical  agency  in 
a  teacher's  college,  both  in  its  relation  to  all  the  departments  of  instruc- 
tion and  to  the  teaching  (leld  as  a  whole,  under  the  enihusiastic  and  rarely 
helpful  leadership  of  Mr.  Willis  Kerr,  now  in  his  second  year  of  service  as 
librarian,  has  been  an  especially  gratifying  feature  of  our  recent  growth; 
and  with  the  carrying  out  of  all  the  plans  that  present  thetpselves  for 
library  expansion,  more  books,  more  room,  more  library  workers  are  all 
pressing  needs. 

6.  The  one  department  in  which  a  new  field  has  been  developed  during 
the  biennium  has  been  in  the  work  in  agriculture.     The  limitations  of

policy  that  have  affected  the  work  in  Emporia  in  manual  training  and 
home  economics  have  also  applied  to  agriculture  in  the  working  oat  of 
the  general  plan  for  the  development  of  these  special  features  of  work 
in  the  schools  at  Hays  «nd  Pittsburg,  but  the  action  of  the  last  legislature 
in  providing  for  instruction  in  agriculture  in  the  normal-training  bi^ 
schools,  and  in  requiring  elementary  agriculture  for  a  county  teachers' 
certificate,  rendered  it  imperative  that  classes  should  be  oi^aniied  in  all 
the  schools,  and  the  work  has  so  grown  that  two  instructors  are  now  re- 
quired at  Emporia,  and  250  persons  are  enrolled  in  classes  during  the 
current  term.  The  development  of  this  work,  as  of  other  lines  of  special 
work  in  the  teaching  field,  the  Normal  Schools  .can  not  ignore. 

7.  Notable  features  of  recent  development  have  been  the  state-wide 
institute,  and  in  connection  with  the  summer  school  and  state-wide  insti- 
tute, the  model  rural  school.  The  state-wide  institute,  established  three 
years  ago  for  ten  days  during  July,  particularly  with  reference  to  the 
presentation  of  the  normal -training  high-school  subjects  by  expert 
teachers  and  lecturers,  has  proved  so  popular  and  seemed  to  appeal  aa 
strongly  to  the  best  class  of  teachers  in  the  state,  that  last  year  its  scope 
was  greatly  extended,  and  work  was  offered  by  seventeen  lecturers  and 
instructors^ — eight  from  our  own  faculty,  the  others  eminent  specialists 
in  their  particular  lines  from  various  parts  of  the  country — to  several 
hundred  strong  teachers,  including  city  and  county  superintendents,  high- 
school  principals,  normal -training  instructors,  city 'grade  teachers,  m 
eager  and  interested  company.  The  model  rural  school,  conducted  far 
the  past  three  summers  under  the  efficient  direction  of  Mrs.  Emilj 
Kittlaus-Hoelcel,  should  as  soon  as  feasible  be  made  a  permanent  feature 
of  our  work. 

One  of  the  noticeable  features  of  our  present  growth  has  been  the  re- 
markable recent  increase  of  attendance  of  the  summer  school.  The  enroll- 
ment for  the  six  years  past  is  aa  follows:  1907,  830;  1908,  772;  1909,  890; 
1910,  1110;  1911,  1176;  1912,  1334— a  steady  increase  with  the  exeeptim 
of  a  single  year;  but  more  significant  than  the  increase  in  totals  is  tfae 
marked  change  in  the  character  of  the  enrollment,  particularly  in  tie 
last  two  years.  Up  to  a  comparatively  recent  period  the  spring  and 
summer  enrollm^it  was  largely  of  county-certificate  students,  and  tie 
congestion  of  attendance  was  in  the  elementary  classes.  Of  the  1334 
students  of  the  summer  school  of  1912,  60  were  special  music  students. 
236  were  in  the  training  school,  340  were  students  of  secondary  grade, 
and  718  were  of  collegiate  rank,  a  very  large  percentage  of  them  graduates 
of  normal-training  courses  in  high  schools.  This  transition,  however,  sod 
advance  in  the  grade  of  students  is  not  confined  to  the  summer  sdiooL 
Two  years  ago,  in  speaking  of  one  phase  of  the  evolution  of  the  Teachers 
College,  then  contemplated,  the  definite  separation  of  atudeits  of  aneooi- 
ary  grade  and  the  establishment  of  a  normal-training  hi^  school  vith  s 
principal  and  a  separate  faculty,  I  pointed  out  the  fact  that  for  some 
years  past  the  number  of  students  in  secondary  work  had  beoi  ateadilr 
decreasing,  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  the  number  of  nonnal  Btu- 
dents  of  collegiate  grade.  I  added  that  this  transition  would  be  much 
more  rapid  in  the  immediate  future  than  in  the  past,  so  that  the  etmMtiotn

which  had  exist«d,  namely,  the  overwhelming  preponderance  of  elemoitaiy 
students  in  the  Normal  School,  with  cotnparatiTely  few  students  who 
have  come  by  way  of  the  high  school  ready  for  advanced  work,  would  be  - 
reversed;  that  the  elementary  work  of  normal  training  would  become 
subsidiary  and  incidental,  and  the  larger  energies  of  tiie  institution  would 
be  set  free  to  care  for  the  new  need,  the  students  who  are  ready  for  the 
two  or  four  years  of  normal  collegiate  training,  according  to  the  grade 
of  schools  in  which  they  are  preparing  to  teach.  The  rapidity  with 
which  this  transition  is  taking  place  in  the  growth  of  tiie  Normal  College 
strikingly  verifies  the  statement  of  two  years  ago.  The  attendance  for 
the  school  year  1909-'10  was  2254,  distributed  as  follows;  Normal  Col- 
lege, S85;  Secondary,  1220;  Training  School,  800;  Special  Music,  149. 
The  enrollment  for  1910-'ll  was  2635,  an  increase  of  381,  distributed  as 
follows:  College,  901;  Secondary,  1183;  Training  School,  414;  Special 
Husie,  187.  It  will  be  noted  that  of  the  881  net  increase  316  were  college 
studeaits.  The  enrolbnent  for  1911-'12  was  2587,  of  whom  987  were 
listed  as  College,  10S2  as  Secondary,  437  as  Training  School,  131  Special 
Music-  Comparing  1909-'10  with  1911-'12,  the  net  increase  in  enrollment 
was  333,  while  the  increase  in  the  enrollment  of  college  students  was  402 
— Z14  more  than  the  decrease  in  students  of  secondary  grade.  The  tat- 
rollment  of  2227  at  the  bepnning  of  the  current  school  year  1912-'13, 
exclusive  of  training-school  and  speciaUmusic  students,  shows  1069  coI< 
legiate  and  714  secondary  students.  Assuming  the  normal  increase 
throughout  the  year,  this  will  make  approximately  1000  secondary  and 
1300  collegiate  students,  or  in  seven  years  a  gain  In  round  numbers  of 
lOOO  college  students  and  a  decrease  of  300  secondary  students.  I  have 
had  prepared  an  analysis  of  the  enrollment  by  classes  beginning  with  tlie 
school  year  190O-'Ol,  the  summaries  of  which  are  herewith  appended:

In  1912-'13,  according  to  present  indications,  the  percentage  of  col- 
legiate  and  secondary  students  willbe  approximately  65.6  per  cent  col- 
legiate and  4S.5  per  cent  secondary.  It  should  be  said  in  explanation  of 
the  term  collegiate— a  point  which  needs  to  be  kept  constantly  in  mind — 
that  it  is  u»ed  as  a  term  of  classification,  simply  to  indicate  the  degree  of 
advancement  of  students  whose  academic  preparation  has  been  equivalent 
to  graduation  from  the  high  school.  At  jo  time  in  the  working  out  of  tk*

that  will  make  the  Normal  College  thrmtgh.  and  through  in  every  depart- 
ment a  Teachers'  School  in  the  sense  that  no  other  type  of  school  in  the 
state  is  or  can  be. 

The  establiahment  three  years  ago  of  the  normal-training  courses  m 
high  schools,  and  the  provision  now  made  for  the  gradual  increase  until 
1917  of  the  standard  of  requirement  for  county  teachers'  certificates,  have 
an  important  bearing  on  this  transition  taking  place  in  the  noimal  col- 
lege. A  large  per  cent  of  the  high-school  graduates  enrolled  in  the  nor- 
mal college  in  the  past  two  years  have  come  from  the  normal -training 
courses  in  high  schools,  and  this  trend  toward  a  close  articulation  be- 
tween the  normal  training  in  high  schools  and  the  work  of  the  normal 
schools — a  natural  articulation — has  only  just  begun  to  manifest  its  re- 
sults. The  decrease  in  our  secondary  attendance  is  the  natural  conse- 
quaice  of  the  growth  of  high  schools  and  what  has  been  a  gradual  but 
now  will  become  a  rapid  disappearance  of  the  class  of  teachers  coming  di- 
rectly from  the  grades  fay  way  of  the  teachers'  institute  without  high- 
school  preparation.  This  is  the  class  to  the  service  of  whose  needs  the 
Kansas  Normal  School  of  fifteen,  and  even  of  eight  and  ten  years  ago, 
was  almost  exclusively  devoted;  the  policy  that  has  beoi  consistently 
formulated  and  auccesafully  carried  out  during  the  past  six  years  in  the 
development  of  the  schools  has  been  based  upon  a  definite  forecast  of 
exactly  the  conditions  that  have  occurred.  The  results  are  vindicating 
that  policy  to  a  degree  that  even  the  most  sanguine  could  scarcely  have 
hoped.  During  the  next  few  years  the  more  mature  members  of  this 
class — the  experienced  teachers  now  in  the  field  without  high-school  train- 
ing-— will  find  in  the  three  Normal  Schools  the  best  possible  place  for  com- 
pleting their  elonentary  preparation  and  will  still  form  a  very  large  pait 
of  our  secondary  constituency.  After  that,  the  normal  high  school  will 
take  its  place — -a  vital  and  necessary  place  for  which  adequate  provision 
must  be  made — as  an  integral  part  of  tbe  training  or  model-school  systm, 
and  though  meeting  the  direct  need  of  a  far  more  limited  constituoic;  of 
pupils  enrolled  in  its  classes,  will  be  of  inestimable  service  to  the  state  cs 
a  model  high  school  organized  along  advanced  lines  and  meeting  the  needs 
of  intending  high-school  teachers,  just  aa  the  elementary  mode!  scbool 
meeta  the  needs  of  teachers  in  the  grades.  The  present  organization 
serves  the  two  purposes,  so  that  now  the  Teachers'  College  at  Emporia 
properly  has  the  most  effective  organization,  and  should  continue  to  have 
in  every  particular  provided  by  the  state  the  most  complete  and  effective 
equipment  for  meeting  the  needs  of  preparation  for  every  grade  of  teacher 
in  the  public-school  work.  With  the  present  demands,  however,  aa  rapidly 
as  conditions  will  permit,  the  same  type  of  high  school  and  college  organi- 
zation should  be  definitely  perfected  in  each  of  the  other  two  Normal 
Schools.  The  evolution  now  to  be  recognized  as  inevitable  in  the  further 
growth  of  the  Normal  School  system  is  the  group  of  three  institutions, 
all  of  collegiate  grade,  all  organized  with  direct  reference  to  teacher  train- 
ing, and  all  provided  with  the  necessary  elementary  and  hi^-schwl 
organization  to  carry  forward  that  training  for  every  grade  of  public- 
school  work,  but  with  each  institution,  as  part  of  the  system  developii^

harraoniouBly  dividing  it.  The  clear  logic  of  the  situation  is  thia:  First, 
Uiat  the  state  in  establishing  these  three  institutions  has  entailed  upon 
itself  a  great  obligation  if  it  meets  their  expanding  needs  as  they  should 
be  met  to  maintain  the  high  standards  of  teaching  preparation  that  the 
state  demands.  Second,  these  institutions  as  at  present  organized  shouid 
be  bailt  up  together  on  a  basis  of  cooperation,  not  competition,  and  this 
can  best  be  done  by  a  consistent  plan  for  the  development  of  special  lines 
of  work  in  each  of  the  schools,  a  general  policy  in  which  the  present  ad- 
ministrations of  all  the  schools  are  agreed.  Third,  it  is  wise  for  the  state 
to  centralize  its  activities  in  the  training  of  teachers  in  providing  adequate 
plants  and  maintenance  for  these  three  institutions.  There  is  no  present 
need  for  more.  The  geographical  distribution  of  the  students  of  the 
State  Normal  School  at  Emporia  presents  an  interesting  view  of  its  state- 
wide efficiency.    The  enrollment  for  the  two  years  was:

321;  fifth,  169;  sixth,  108;  seventh,  167;  eighth,  87;  outside  of  Kansas,  79. 
Of  the  1074  students  credited  to  Lyon  county  505  were  training-school 
and  special  music  students,  leaving  569  regular  students,  260  collegiate, 
and  309  secondary.  Of  these  170  were  in  the  first  year  of  the  normal  high 
school,  a  constituency  which  it  has  been  pointed  out  will  gradually  be- 
come more  and  more  local.  Of  the  569  Lyon  county  students  a  careful 
investigation  shows  that  a  very  lai^  proportion  are  students  from  other 
localities  whose  address  is  temporarily  Emporia. 

With  reference  to  the  needs  of  the  School  at  Emporia  for  the  bi^inium, 
it  is  difficult  to  say  whether  the  more  urgent  need  is  a  substantial  in- 
crease in  maintenance  to  meet  the  demands  of  its  rapid  expansion,  or 
more  room  to  house  additional  instructors  and  students  who  are  in  every 
portion  of  the  plant  overflowing  to  quarters  already  outgrown.  As  to  the 
additional  force  of  instruction  and  administration,  two  elements  will  be 
noted  as  entering  into  the  problem :  first,  the  continued  and  steady  in- 
crease of  attendance,  and  second,  the  change  yi  the  character  of  that 
attendance  and  the  increase  of  demands  occasioned  by  the  more  advanced 
work  done.  The  tables  found  elsewhere  in  this  report,  prepared  by  the 
Financial  Secretary,  showing  the  average  annual  cost  per  student  for 
salaries,  maintenance  and  betterments  since  1901,  show  an  astonishingly 
low  average  when  the  comparison  is  made  with  other  institutions  in 
the  state  and  elsewhere.  This  is  to  be  accounted  for  in  large  part  by 
the  elementary  character  of  the  work  done  by  the  great  body  of  students 
— a  condition,  as  has  been  pointed  out,  now  rapidly  changing.  The  teach' 
ing  force  in  several  important  departments  is  entirely  inadequate,  and 
while  this  change  has  been  taking  place  we  have  been  obliged  to  use  in 
many  departments  student  assistance  for  elementary  classes — a  plan 
which  has  served  its  purpose  well  as  a  temporary  expedient,  but  can  not 
be  continued  satisfactorily  as  a  permanent  policy.     During  the  current

26  State  Normal  Schools. 

BemeBter  over  700  etudents  are  studjnng  English,  with  six  regular  t«ad»- 
ers;  in  mathematicB  the  congestion  is  almost  aa  great,  with  fire  regular 
teachers.  A  forecast  of  the  conditions  shows  that  daring  next  year  and 
the  year  following  there  will  be  need  for  at  least  two  additiraial  ia- 
stnictore  in  English,  two  in  mathematics,  two  in  history,  probably  two  in 
biology,  and  one  each  in  psychology,  physics,  drawing,  manual  training, 
domestic  science,  domestic  art,  Latin,  modem  languages,  and  phyncal 
training.  There  is  need  also  of  additional  assistance  in  the  library  and 
material  increase  of  force  in  the  various  departments  of  administTation 
to  carry  out  the  plans  for  extension  correspondence  work  and  other  lints 
of  administrative  expansion.  There  should  be  a  material  advance  in  tht 
schedule  of  salaries,  for  which  provision  should  be  made  in  the  maio- 
tenance  appropriations.  While  there  has  been  a  grading  up  in  &u 
particular  in  the  last  few  years,  the  scale  of  salaries  of  professors  in  the 
Normal  Schools  is  still  decidedly  lower  than  in  the  other  stat«  institutions. 
There  is  no  legitimate  reason  why  this  should  be  true.  The  reqninaneits 
of  scholarship,  expert  training,  personality  and  teaching  power  under 
present  standards  are  aa  great  as  in  any  type  of  educational  institntion. 
The  beat  is  none  too  good  for  us,  and  if  we  get  the  best  the  price  must  be 
paid.  A  number  of  recent  changes  in  our  faculty  roll  have  been  occa- 
sioned solely  by  the  fact  that  we  have  beoi  unable  to  hold  certain  of  oar 
efficient  teachers,  skilled  in  their  special  lines,  at  the  salaries  paid.  The; 
have  gone  to  other  institutions  at  an  advance.  Others,  remaining  with 
us  and  growing  with  our  growth,  are  entitled  to  far  greater  recogniUon 
than  they  now  receive.  I  should  like  to  see  the  maximum  salary  of  pro- 
fessors set  at  a  higher  figure  than  any  department  salary  now  paid,  witli 
a  definite  classification  of  positions  and  a  plan  for  regular  increase  until 
a  given  maximum  is  reached.  The  budget  should  be  liberal  enough  bi 
make  this  a  possibility.  Recurring  to  the  need,  already  referred  to,  for 
additional  room  and  equipment  for  many  deparUnents,  it  may  be  uid 
that  there  is  not  a  building  on  the  campus,  with  the  possible  exceptim 
of  the  Physical  Training  Building,  that  is  not  taxed  to  the  utmost  to 
meet  the  demands  upon  it.  When  Norton  Science  Hall  was  completed  in 
1907  there  were  four  instructors  doing  all  the  work  thrai  required  in  tlia 
physical  and  biological  sciences.  Now  there  are'  nine  representing  the 
same  departments,  with  work  that  calls  soon  for  the  services  of  not  lew 
than  three  more.  With  the  increase  in  the  number  of  classes  there  is 
additional  need  for  room,  not  only  for  recitation,  but  also  for  laboraUrf 
purposes.  The  laboratories  just  now  are  tremendously  crowded.  Tb* 
Model  School  Building,  erected  in  1903  at  a  cost  of  $30,000,  is  altogether 
inadequate  for  the  present  needs  of  the  elementary  model  school  TIm 
high-school  grades  are  very  inconveniently  housed  in  the  north  annex  and 
the  adjacent  rooms  in  the  Main  Building.  To  meet  these  varied  need) 
there  should  be  a  commodious  building  erected  for  goieral  recitation  pur- 
poses. In  these  days,  when  our  leading  Kansas  towns  are  pntting  into 
their  high-school  buildings  and  equipment  from  one  hundred  to  two  hm- 
dred  thousand  dollars,  the  least  sum  that  should  be  appropriated  for  aach 
a  building  is  $100,000.  Two  years  ago  an  urgent  request  was  made,  with 
your  approval,  for  an  appropriation  of  $200,000  fur  the  general  reorgan- 
ization, restoration  and  modification  of  the  Main  Building  and  the  erectiwi

of  an  auditorium  as  an  extension  to  the  same.  Tentative  plana  were  made 
by  the  state  architect  a^  that  time,  with  the  idea  of  extending  the  central 
part  of  the  building  to  the  north  for  a  groand-flocr  auditorium,  with 
such  modification  of  the  present  interior  as  would  adapt  it  to  present 
needs.  During  the  session  many  members  of  the  legfislature  visited  us, 
and  the  expressed  opinion  was  unanimous  that  such  an  improvement 
was  not  only  desirable  but  necessary  at  an  early  date;  but  as  the  time 
was  not  opportune  for  any  building  appropriations,  it  was  left  over  to 
be  renewed  in  the  budget  of  the  present  year.  The  Main  Building, 
erected  in  three  portions  and  modified  in  numbo'less  ways  to  meet  chang- 
ing conditions  of  the  school,  is  greatly  in  need  of  g«»eral  overhauling 
and  repair.  Its  arrangement,  so  far  as  our  present  purposes  are  con- 
cerned, is  uneconomical  and  inconvenient,  as  not  a  single  portion  of 
the  building  tiow  remaining,  except  the  assembly  hall,  is  used  for  tha 
purposes  for  which  it  was  originally  designed.  The  building  is  unsafe 
so  far  as  fire  risk  is  concerned,  imsymmetrical,  in  some  particulars  un- 
sanitary, and  in  no  particular  is  it  commensurate  as  a  central  ad- 
ministration building  with  the  dignity  and  needs  of  the  school.  It  could 
under  the  plans  contemplated  be  admirably,  and  I  believe  economically, 
rearranged  so  as  to  make  an  attractive  and  appropriate  building  worthy 
of  the  plant  of  which  it  is  the  central  part.  No  appropriation  that  will 
be  asked  from  the  coming  legislature  for  the  improvement  of  any  state 
institution  has  stronger  claims  for  considemtion  than  this.  Reference 
has  already  been  made  to  the  request,  also  renewed  from  two  years  ago, 
for  the  erection  of  a  dormitory;  and  in  the  light  of  the  preceding  dis- 
cussions, the  other  items  of  the  budget  for  improvement  of  grounds, 
equipm^t  of  buildings  and  the  work  of  normal  extension  will  be  self- 
explanatory. 

In  accordance  with  the  usual  custom,  there  is  appended  herewith  a  list

school  at  Hays  was  eatablished,  must  have  ^eat  satisfaction  in  realizing 
the  far-reacbitiK  results  of  the  wise  and  effective  constructive  work  that 
he  has  done.  Principal  Myers,  now  entering  upon  the  second  year  ot 
his  service,  has  won  the  loyal  support  of  faculty  and  students,  and  has 
demonstrated  in  a  most  gratifying  way  his  clear  grasp  of  the  significance 
of  the  educational  problems  presenting  thetneelves  in  hia  special  field. 
A  full  statement  of  the  progress  and  needs  of  the  schools  is  presented  in 
the  Priocipals'  reports.  There  should  be  discussed,  however,  before  con* 
eluding  this  report,  certain  general  matters  of  administration  common 
to  these  two  schools  and  having  an  important  bearing  upon  their  future 
development  and  growth.  In  July,  1910,  in  defining  the  relations  and 
duties  of  the  President  and  the  Principals  of  the  auxiliary  schools,  you, 
as  a  Board,  incorporated  in  the  resolutions  then  adopted  the  following; 
"As  the  executive  head  of  the  Normal  School  system  of  the  state,  the 
Board  of  Regents  will  hold  the  President  responsible  for  the  develop- 
ment almg  uniform  lines  of  the  policy  of  eventually  making  the  auxiliary 
schools  equal  in  educational  standards  and  curriculum,  kavii^  m  mijid 
the  particular  needs  of  each,  inatitution,  with  the  State  Normal  at  Em- 
poria; and  hereby  directs  the  President  to  carry  out  the  spirit  and  intent 
of  this  declaration  as  soon  as  practicable.  The  Principals  shall  be  re- 
sponsible, through  him,  for  carrying  out  these  policies  and  maintaining 
essential  uniformity  of  usage  in  the  administration  of  their  respective 
schools,"  From  the  beginning  of  my  administrative  work  as  President 
of  tiie  Normal  Schools,  I  have  sought  with  fidelity  to  discharge  the  trust 
imposed  upon  me,  to  foster  to  the  full  extent  the  legitimate  development 
of  the  auxiliary  as  well  as  of  the  central  school  along  the  lines  in  which 
they  were  specially  intended  to  serve  the  stat«.  In  that  spirit  I  have 
sou^t  from  the  beginning  to  shape  a  consistent  policy  that  would  enable 
each  school  to  work  out  with  freedom  its  legitmate  destiny  as  a  part  of 
the  Normal  School  system  of  the  state,  yet  with  due  regard  to  the  proper 
expansion  and  unity  of  the  sjrstem  as  a  whole.  Whatever  may  be  the 
differences  of  judgment  as  to  questions  of  policy,  no  man  can  say  with 
truth  that  I  have  failed  in  any  particular  to  be  faithful  to  that  trust, 
and  I  may  be  pardoned  for  saying  that  I  look  with  great  satisfaction 
upon  the  present  growth  and  progress  of  all  the  schools,  however  largely 
it  may  be  due  to  the  interest  and  activity  of  those  who  have  had  them 
directly  in  charge,  as  in  great  part  made  possible  through  the  working 
nit  of  the  broad  general  policy  whose  results  are  now  beginning  to 
crystallize  in  the  group  of  Kansas  colleges  for  teachers,  now  not  merely 
a  possibility  but  a  reality.  So  far  as  the  younger  schools  are  concerned, 
some  stages  in  this  development  are  yet  to  come.  This  could  not  have 
heen  otherwise  in  the  nature  of  the  case.  The  setting  of  standards,  in 
the  realization  in  some  sen^e  of  a  completed  ideal  at  Emporia,  has  created 
possibilities  for  the  future  of  the  schools  at  Hays  and  Pittsburg  that 
could  not  otherwise  have  been  realized,  at  least  not  for  a  long  time  to 
come.  The  plan  of  the  recognition  of  the  major  work  in  agriculture  and 
related  work  contributing  to  the  needs  of  rural  communities,  so  far  as  it 
pertains  to  the  preparation  of  teachers  at  Hays,  while  it  has  had  no 
special  suggestion  in  law,  has  been  in  mind  as  an  administrative  policy

in  every  step  of  expansion — in  the  eatabliahment  of  the  model  rural 
school,  in  the  provision  made  first  in  this  one  of  the  Kaasas  Noimal 
Schools  for  a  separate  department  of  agriculture,  and  in  the  erectitm  ud 
equipment  of  a  building  for  the  use  of  a  model  agricultural  hi^  school 
Historically  and  legally  the  special  forms  of  industrial  training  which 
have  been  emphasised  at  Pittsburg  from  the  beginninK-  suggest  the  appro- 
priate direction  for  the  development  of  the  Manual  Training  Normal 
School  or  Industrial  College  for  Teachers.  I  said  two  years  ago  in  m; 
report:  "In  order  that  the  school,  with  the  splendid  foundation  in  equip- 
ment already  laid  and  with  the  ideals  of  effective  training  that  it  is 
already  establishing  in  these  departments,  may  realize  to  the  full  its 
unique  possibilities  in  the  lines  of  work  for  which  it  was  primaril; 
organized,  and  which  the  state  has  assumed  that  it  was  set  to  do,  I  am 
heartily  in  accord  with  the  expansion  of  work  on  this  basis,  with  in- 
-duatrial  pedagogy  as  the  major  and  with  such  collateral  development  of 
-other  lines  of  work  as  will  legitimately  contribute  to  a  well-balanc«d 
course."  In  obedience  to  the  declared  ptdicy  of  the  Board  two  years  a|;o, 
and  in  accordance  with  the  expressed  view  just  quoted,  believing  that 
the  proper  time  had  come  for  taking  that  step,  near  the  beginning  of 
the  last  school  year  I  formally  directed  the  Principals  to  organize  for  mj 
approval,  in  conjunction  with  committees  of  their  faculties,  courses  o( 
study  looking  to  the  completion  of  four  years  of  collegiate  work.  This 
has  been  done  with  due  recognition  of  the  limitations  implied  in  what  hu 
been  said  of  the  special  function  of  each  of  the  schools,  and  these  coute« 
have  gone  into  etfect  with  the  opening  of  the  current  school  year,  1 
believe  that  now  the  policy  that  has  been  thus  far  maintained  of  msppin; 
out  a  special  though  not  exclusive  fieid  for  each  of  the  schools  should  he 
crystallized  into  legislation,  and  I  am  in  hearty  accord  with  the  Kcal 
action  of  the  Board  upon  the  subject.  I  brieve  that  there  is  no  rea»tB 
■why  the  three  Normal  Schools  under  such  a  policy  may  not  maintain  the 
most  harmonious  relations  and,  strong  because  united,  most  eBeetivdy 
serve  the  state.  If  they  do  not  maintain  such  unity  and  harmony  tbi 
responsibility  will  rest  upon  shoulders  other  than  mine.

While  for  the  biennium  the  women  graduates  outnumber  the  men, 
the  figures  for  the  four  years  since  the  life-certificate  course  went  into 
effect  stand  32  men  to  27  women — an  unusual  state  of  affairs  in  a  co- 
educational State  Normal  School. 

The  first  year  of  the  biennium  showed  a  healthy  increase  in  the  en- 
rollment, the  figures  reaching  a  total  of  464,  representing  37  Kansas

countiee  and  3  outside  states.  Owin^  to  the  unprecedented  droatb  in 
western  Kansas,  the  second  year,  1911-'12,  shows  a  falling  off  in  the 
attendance,  but  the  decrease  was  more  than  offset  by  the  developmait  of 
the  correspondence  department,  oi^anized  during  the  year,  in  which  203 
students  not  enrolled  in  residence  were  registered.  Including  the  eor- 
respondence  students,  the  entire  number  to  which  the  school  gave  work 
during  191I-'12  was  646.  The  growth  of  the  correspondence  department 
is  phenomenal  and  shows  that  therein  the  school  has  opened  a  ministry 
to  a  vital  need  of  Kansas  teachers.  The  prospect  for  an  unusually  large 
resident  attendance  for  the  coming  year  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  of  an 
r  62  per  cent  in  the  enrollment  for  the  first  month  of 
r  term  of  1912  over  the  number  oa  hand  for  the  corresponding 
month  in  1911. 

The  outreach  of  the  school  is  steadily  expanding,  there  being  a  rep- 
resentation in  1911-'12  from  40  Kansas  counties  and  from  6  outside 
states.  Of  the  907  names  recorded  in  the  biennium,  aside  from  cor- 
respondence students,  but  396,  or  less  than  44  per  c«it,  came  fr<»n  Ellis 
county,  the  home  county  of  the  school.  On  this  point  we  outrank  every 
other  educational  institution  maintained  by  the  state,  if  compariara 
be  made  when  the  other  school  was  no  older  than  this  one.  The  cor- 
respond^ice  enrollment  drew  from  47  different  counties. 

The  biennium  has  witnessed  the  completion  of  a  heating,  water  and 
electric-Iif^ting  plant,  with  tunnel  connection  to  Main  Building  for  heat 
transmission.  This  reduces  fire  danger  in  the  buildings  to  a  mininium. 
While  the  electric  plant  has  not  been  entirely  satisfactory  in  its  wott- 
ing, we  have  assurances  from  the  manufacturers  that  all  defects  will 
be  remedied  without  cost  to  the  state.  Should  they  fail  to  make  their 
guarantee  good  it  may  be  necessary  to  ask  for  an  emergency  appropria- 
tion, available  ere  the  end  of  the  coming  fiscal  year,  to  replace  the  in- 
stallation with  one  of  greater  capacity.  The  city  of  Hays,  having  an 
adequate  sewerage  system  and  having  permitted  our  connection  there- 
with, it  was  not  necessary  for  us  to  construct  a  sewerage-disposal  pkni 
as  had  been  contemplated. 

In  the  second  year  of  the  biennium  $40,000  were  placed  at  the  dis- 
posal of  the  school  for  the  erection  of  a.  building  to  be  used  as  a  model 
agricultural  high  school  and  for  other  purposes.  The  building,  which 
is  the  finest  building  upon  our  campus,  is  now  ready  for  occupancy.  It 
will  greatly  help  for  the  betterment  of  our  work. 

But  while  we  most  gratefully  acknowledge  all  that  the  state  has  done 
for  us,  the  repetition  of  some-  words  from  my  report  to  you  two  years 
ago  I  trust  will  not  be  out  of  place:  "This  school  is  the  only  provision 
the  state  has  made  for  higher  education  in  the  great  agricultural  empire 
constituting  the  western  two-thirds  of  Kansas.  An  increasing  call  comes 
from  the  youth  of  the  West  that  here  they  be  given  advantages  com- 
mensurate with  modem  needs  and  worthy  the  munificence  of  a  great 
and  wealthy  commonwealth.  Surely  the  people  of  Kansas  do  not  neao 
that  the  young  men  and  women  of  the  western  two-thirds  of  the  state 
shall  forever  be  compelled  to  traverse  the  great  reaches  which  must  be 
passed  over  in  order  to  enroll  as  students  in  schools  confined  in  the 
eastern  third.    In  behalf  of  the  magnificent  young  manhood  and  wotoui-

hood  of  western  Kansas,  I  earnestly  request  for  them  such  appropria- 
tions for  this  school  for  the  coming  biennium  as  shall  permit  a  legitimate 
and  needed  expansion  of  its  facilities  rather  than  a  continuation  of  the 
seemingly  experimental  basis  thus  far  in  its  history." 

I  present  elsewhere  to  the  Board,  through  you,  detailed  estimates  of 
the  school's  needs  for  the  coming  bienniara.  1  trust  that  the  Board  may 
approve  these  estimates  and  that  the  legislature  may  grant  the  appro- 
priations for  them.    Respectfully  submitted.

THE  SCHOOL  AT  PITTSBURG. 
In  presenting  this  biennial  report  I  wish  to  call  attention  to  the  prog- 
ress made  by  the  State  Manual  Training  Normal  School  during  the 
biennium  closing  June  80,  1912,  and,  second,  to  point  out  some  of  the 
more  important  needs  of  the  institution  if  it  is  to  meet  the  rapidly  in- 
creasing' demands  being  made  upon  it  by  the  educational  interests  of 
the  state. 

PB0GRE88    HAPE. 

The  catalogue  of  1910-'ll  includes  the  names  of  728  students  in  at- 
tendance during  the  year  closing  June  1,  1910.  The  total  enrollment 
for  the  year  ending  June  1,  1912,  was  1183 — an  increase  of  460,  or  63.6 
per  cent,  in  two  years.  In  1910  there  were  35  life  certifScates  issued  to 
students  graduating  from  the  institution,  including  those  completing  the 
course  at  the  close  of  the  summer  term.  In  1912,  only  two  years  later, 
ttiis  number  had  increased  to  105,  72  finishing  the  course  in  June  and 
33  in  August. 

The  rapid  increase  in  number  of  students  has  brought  with  it  of 
necessity  considerable,  though  not  proportionate,  enlargement  of  faculty. 
Lack  of  funds  has  made  It  impossible  to  enlarge  the  faculty  rapidly 
enough  to  keep  pace  with  the  growth  of  the  student  body.  Since  the 
last  report,  however,  our  teaching  staff  has  increased  from  twenty-eight 
to  thirty-seven. 

While  fair  progress  is  now  being  made  in  the  contraction  of  the  In- 
dustrial Arts  Building,  provided  for  by  appropriation  of  the  last  legis- 
lature, this  much-needed  building  will  not  he  ready  for  occupancy  before 
January  1,  1913,  if  that  soon.  One  unfamiliar  with  the  rapid  growth 
of  the  schod  would  suppose  that  this  large,  well-arranged  building  would 
furnish  ample  room  for  the  school  for  many  years  to  come.  As  a  matter 
of  fact  it  will  not  fully  relieve  the  badly  congested  condition  which  has 
begun  to  interfere  seriously  with  the  school's  efficiency. 

Another  exceedingly  important  forward  step  has  been  taken  in  the  re- 
vision and  extension  of  the  course  of  study.  This  work  was  carried  on 
throughout  the  school  year  1911-'12  by  the  Principal  and  Faculty,  and  was 
given  very  careful  consideration.  It  was,  as  you  remember,  approved  by 
you  and  the  Board  of  Regents  eatly  the  past  summer,  to  become  effective 
September  1,  1912.    In  the  high-school  department  provision  is  made  for

a  manual-training  course,  a  houeehold  arts  course,  a  course  for  mnl 
teachers,  a  course  for  grade  teachers  in  small  towns,  a  ctHmnercial  courae, 
a  general  course,  and  a  language  course,  with  a  certain  group  of  (ob- 
jects compriaing  about  half  of  the  four  years'  work,  and  called  constant, 
required  in  all  courses.  The  college  department,  comprising  all  work 
beyond  high-school  grade,  is  divided  into  the  Junior  College  and  Senior 
College.  The  Junior  College  includes  the  work  offered  in  the  first  no 
years  in  all  courses,  and  meets  the  requirements  for  the  life  state  certifi- 
cate. The  courses  offered  are  manual  training,  domestic  science,  dixne^it 
art,  commerce,  agricultural,  general  and  language.  The  Senior  College 
comprises  the  third-  and  fourth-3'ear  work,  leading  to  the  bachelor's 
degree,  and  affords  the  student  an  opportunity  to  specialize  in  any  of 
the  principal  subjects  offered  in  the  Junior  College.  When  it  is  remem- 
bered that  a  large  proportion  of  our  students  go  out  into  higb-Mhool 
positions  as  teachers  of  manual  training,  domestic  science  and  domestic 
art,  and  further  that  they  are  very  often  required  to  teach  one  or  more 
other  high-school  subjects  B.\<mg  with  their  specialty,  it  is  envious  that 
the  additional  two  years'  work  leading  to  the  degree  strei^hens  the 
institution  enormously,  and  fits  it  for  a  much  larger  service  to  the  state. 
More  than  three-fourths  of  the  members  of  the  graduating  class  of  last 
June  who  obtained  positions  prior  to  the  writing  ol  this  report  (Au- 
gust 15)  obtained  high-school  positions.  That  the  extension  of  the  eouise 
is  greatly  appreciated  by  our  graduates  from  the  life-certificate  conrse  is 
shown  by  the  fact  that  nearly  fifty  of  them  were  enrolled  during  the  past 
summer  term  for  work  leading  towards  the  degree. 

A  statement  of  progress  made  would  not  be  complete  without  mention 
of  extension  work.  We  have  not  sought  to  develop  extaision  courses; 
in  fact,  as  far  as  correspondence  courses  are  concerned,  rfe  have  per- 
sistently refused  to  conduct  them  except  in  a  very  limited  number  of 
subjects  and  have  not  encouraged  work  in  these,  because  no  member  (rf 
the  Faculty  could  give  time  to  much  work  of  this  character  without 
interfering  with  his  regular  work.  Notwithstanding  this  attitude,  the 
demand  for  such  courses  as  we  were  willing  to  give  has  increased  rapidly, 
the  number  taking  correspondence  work  now  being  two  or  three  tinea 
as  large  as  a  year  ago.  Other  important  extension  work  has  been  done 
by  members  of  the  Faculty,  in  the  way  of  lectures  before  edueatiooal 
associations,  teachers  institutes  and  similar  gatherings.  Another  wry 
important  work  begun  along  extension  lines  and  developing  into  nipit- 
school  work  in  the  institution  has  been  conducted  by  Professor  Yates  of 
the  chemistry  department.  During  the  winter  and  spring  of  190910 
Professor  Yates  met  a  class  of  twelve  miners  from  Weir  and  Scammon 
one  evening  each  week,  giving  them  practical  lectures  and  d«nonst«tioiis 
on  the  chemistry  of  mine  gases,  explosives,  etc.  The  following  year  this 
class  numbered  eighteen  and  met  one  evening  each  week  in  the  Normal 
Building  for  lecture  work,  laboratory  work  and  study  of  bulletins  fur- 
nished by  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Mines.  The  same  work  was  continued 
last  year,  with  a  class  often  numbering  25  and  with  12  regular  attendants. 
Each  student  received  and  studied  about  a  dozen  bulletins  from  the 
Bureau  of  Mines,  in  addition  to  attending  the  lectures.    This  is  M  '"'"■

tration  of  the  willingness  of  the  institution  to  make  itself  directly  usefuf 
to  the  industrial  interests  of  the  community  and  the  state  as  far  ns 
possible  without  serious  interference  with  the  regular  work  of  teaching 
resident  students.  More  ample  provision  for  extension  work  of  all  kinds 
must  be  made  during  the  coming  biennium. 

NEED3   OF  I'HB   INffTlTUTION. 

The  needs  of  the  institution  may  very  properly  be  divided  into  two 
classes — material  and  instructional. 

It  ia  obvious  that  the  equipment  of  our  Industrial  Arts  Building,  just 
nearing  c<»npletion,  is  one  of  the  most  important  material  needs  at 
this  time.  Mr.  Bumann  has  made,  at  my  request,  careful  estimates  ot 
the  equipment  needed,  and  I  And  that  it  will  cost,  including  freight, 
drayage,  installation,  etc.,  approximately  $25,000. 

Another  very  pressing  need  is  a  gymnasinm  building,  with  suitable' 
equipment.  The  room  in  our  present  building  used  for  gymnasium  pur- 
poses served  fairly  well  while  the  school  was  small,  but  is  wholly  inade- 
quate for  an  institution  enrolling  1200  students  and  increasing  its 
oiroUment  at  the  rate  of  64  per  cent  in  two  years.  A  large,  weljl- 
arranged,  well-appointed  building,  similar  to  the  one  at  Emporia,  should 
be  provided  at  the  earliest  possible  moment.  About  $100,000  would  be 
needed  to  construct  and  equip  this  building. 

A  central  heating  and  power  plant  is  also  practically  a  necessity. 
As  you  know,  a  temporary  heating  plant  was  built  to  heat  the  present 
building,  and  because  of  limited  funds  a  similar  arrangement  is  necessary 
for  the  building  now  in  course  of  construction.  The  electricity  used  in 
driving  our  machinery  and  ventilating  fans  and  in  lighting  our  building 
is  purchased  from  the  Home  Light,  Heat  &  Power  Company.  While  I 
have  not  definite  figures  at  hand,  it  seems  probable  that  the  maintenance  of 
a  central  plant,  generating  electricity  at  about  half  what  it  is  coating  us 
now,  as  has  been  proved  possible,  and  using  the  exhaust  steam  from  the 
generation  of  electricity  for  heating  purposes,  would  be  little  if  any  more 
expensive  than  the  present  arrangement,  far  more  satisfactory,  and  in- 
creasingly more  economical  and  satisfactory  as  we  add  to  the  number  of 
our  buildings.  Moreover,  such  a  plant  would  be  of  great  value  for 
instructional  purposes  in  connection  with  industrial  physics.  In  fact,  I 
would  recommend  that  a  laboratory  with  a  moderate  amount  of  electrical 
and  mechanical  equipment  be  made  a  part  of  the  heating  and  power  plant 
for  the  use  of  classes  in  industrial  physics.  I  have  had  estimates  made 
of  the  cost  of  such  a  plant,  including  building,  smokestack,  tunnels  and 
steam  pipe  to  other  buildings,  boilers,  engines,  generators,  switchboard, 
testing  machines,  and  minor  items  of  equipment,  and  find  that  an  appro- 
priation of  $50,000  would  be  needed  for  this  purpose. 

Another  building  very  much  needed  is  a  library.  Every  hour  of  the 
day  the  rooms  used  for  library  purposes  are  so  congested  that  it  is 
difficult  to  work  and  almost  impossible  to  get  around.  The  library,  an 
extremely  important  part  of  any  educational  institution,  ought  in  this 
institution  to  have  at  once  three  times  as  much  room  as  it  has  to-day, 
to  say  nothing  of  proper  provision  for  the  growth  that  is  sure  to  come, 
m  the  next  few  years.     I  would  advise  the  construction  of  a  building-

about  the  size  of  the  Library  Building  of  the  State  Normal  at  Empaiia, 
which  would  require  an  appropriation  of  {60,000. 

Still  another  building^  for  which  there  is  a  rapidly  growing  need  is  a 
wisnan's  building,  arran^d  and  equipped  especially  for  the  work  in 
home  making,  including  household  science,  arts,  management,  etc.  Oar 
domestic  science  and  arts  departments  are  much  crowded  now,  and  with 
the  extension  of  the  course  of  study  and  the  rapid  growth  of  the  sebool 
are  sure  to  suffer  seriously  before  the  close  of  the  ctnning  bienninm  do- 
less  more  ample  provision  is  made  for  their  work.  The  only  proper  wtj 
to  make  each  provision  is  to  construct  a  large,  commodious  building 
especially  designed  for  this  work,  as  has  been  done  by  our  State  Agri- 
cultural College  and  by  numerous  other  institutions  emphasuing  ike 
home-making  subjects.  The  possible  service  of  this  department  of  tltc 
Manual  Training  Normal  to  the  state  of  Kansas  is  enormous.  No 
legitimate  expense  should  be  spared  in  its  development.  I  would  like 
to  see  an  appropriation  of  at  least  {80,000  made  for  the  conatructicm  of 
a  woman's  building. 

The  dliicency  of  this  institution  would  be  greatly  increased  if  we  had 
a  model  high-school  building,  a  model  grade-school  building,  and  > 
model  rural-school  building,  I  have  not  made  estimates  on  the  probable 
cost  of  these  buildings,  and  am  not  asking  that  appropriations  be  made 
for  them  at  this  session  of  the  legislature.  I  merely  wish  to  call  at- 
tention to  them  as  needs  which  must  have  consideration  at  no  distant 
date.  As  the  school  grows  its  administration  will  be  much  easier  with 
separate  buildings  for  these  departments  of  its  work,  and,  besides,  it  ii 
a  part  of  our  obligation  to  the  state  to  develop  a  high  school,  a  graded 
school,  and  a  rural  school  which  shall  serve  as  models  in  building  and 
material  appointments  as  well  as  in  management  and  teaching. 

Our  science  departments  are  working  under  a  serious  and  growing 
handicap  because  of  lack  of  room.  This  condition  will  be  remedied  in 
part  by  the  removal  of  the  shops  from  the  Main  Building  when  the 
Industrial  Arts  Buildings  is  completed,  but  relief  from  this  source  can 
he  only  partial  and  only  temporary.  The  physical  science  deparbnwt 
is  clamoring  for  two  or  three  times  the  room  it  now  has.  In  chemistry 
especially  the  number  of  laboratory  tables  and  hoods  is  entirely  in- 
a-'equate  fol-  the  number  of  students,  and  no  more  can  be  installed,  be- 
cause there  is  no  place  to  install  them.  The  department  of  biological 
sciences  is  equally  insistent  in  its  demands  for  more  room.  As  stated 
above,  some  relief  will  be  afforded  when  our  shops  are  moved.  If  it 
were  not  for  this  and  for  the  still  more  pressing  needs  in  other  depart- 
ments of  our  work,  I  would  urge  an  appropriation  for  a  science  buildmg 
at  this  time. 

From  what  has  been  said  concerning  the  need  of  new  buildings,  it  ii 
obvious  that  the  purchase  of  additional  ground  is  necessary.  This  i* 
necessary  also  for  the  development  of  our  nature-study,  school -gardoi, 
and  agriculture  work,  all  of  which  must  be  developed  greatly  in  the 
next  few  years.  It  will  be  a  matter  of  economy  to  purchase  additional 
grounds  as  soon  as  possible,  since  the  value  of  adjacent  land  is  increas- 
ing with  the  growth  of  the  institution.    The  purchase  should  include  not

less  than  forty  acres.  There  shoald  be  an  appropriation  of  $10,000  for 
this  purpose. 

There  ate  also  a  number  of  very  important  material  neede  that  do 
not  call  for  large  expenditures. 

Our  appropriation  of  $2000  for  the- past  year  for  fuel,  freight  and 
.hauling  was  fS65.4S  below  actual  expenditures  chargeable  to  this  ac- 
count. With  the  addition  of  another  building  this  appropriation  should 
be  raised  to  at  least  $4000. 

An  appropriation  of  (2000  should  be  asked,  to  become  immediately 
available  for  additional  fire  protection.  This  would  provide  for  the 
laying  of  necessary  water  pipes  and  the  installation  of  four  Are  hydrants 
easily  accessible  to  either  building  in  case  of  Are,  and  also  in  position 
to  protect  the  proposed  gymnasium  and  library  when  completed. 

The  appropriation  of  $1000  per  year  for  the  purchase  of"  library 
books  and  periodicals  should  be  doubled  at  least  for  the  next  biennium. 
Our  library  is  small  even  for  an  institution  as  young  as  this  is.  The 
various  departments  are  all  the  while  calling  for  books  not  found  on  our 
shelves.  An  appropriation  of  $2000  per  year  would  make  the  library 
-of  much  greater  service  to  the  school. 

It  would  seem  wise  to  continue  the  appropriation  of  $5000  per  year 
for  gn^ounds  and  equipment  made  by  the  last  legislature.  This  will  pro- 
fide  for  the  laying  of  additional  walks  made  necessary  by  the  erection 
«f  the  Industrial  Arts  Building,  the  completion  of  the  walk  around  the 
campus,  for  the  construction  of  a  concrete  fence  on  the  street  sides  of  our 
athletic  grounds,  and  the  purchase  of  some  items  of  equipment  for  the 
present  building,  in  addition  to  the  usual  care  of  the  grounds. 

The  city  of  Pittsburg  is  now  paving  Broadway  street  in  front  of  the 
Normal,  and  has  assessed  the  institution  $1987.40  as  its  share  of  the 
tax  for  pavement  and  curbing.  It  would  seem  proper  that  this  item 
he  included  in  the  estimates  for  the  coming  biennium.  The  assessment 
has  been  guaranteed  fay  ten  public-spirited  business  men  of  Pittsburg, 
with  the  hope  that  the  state  will  provide  the  amount  needed  at  the  next 
session  of  ihe  legislature. 

We  are  greatly  in  need  of  an  electric  program  clock  system,  with 
a  master  clock  in  the  office  or  corridor  and  a  secondary  clock  and  program 
bell  in  each  class  room;  the  master  clock  should  be  large  enough  to 
take  care  of  such  new  buildings  as  are  in  prospect.  The  expense  of 
such  a  system  would  probably  he  about  $2500. 

A  telephone  system  connecting  the  office  with  the  different  depart- 
meits  of  the  institution,  long  needed,  becomes  practically  a  necessity 
with  the  completion  of  the  Industrial  Arts  Building.  Such  a  telephone 
system,  with  batteries,  switchboard,  transmitters,  receivers,  etc.,  in- 
cluding installation,  would  cost  approximately  $1200. 

Our  office  books  and  records  are  constantly  in  danger  of  destruction 
by  fire,  because  the  institution  has  neither  vault  nor  safe  in  which  to 
keep  tiiem.  I  recommend  that  an  item  of  whatever  amount  the  Board 
thinks  best  be  included  in  the  estimates  for  the  construction  of  a  vault. 

Such  an  institution  as  this,  devoted  to  industrial  education,  should 
give  instructimi  in  printing  and  bookbinding  as  well  as  in  wood  and

metal  work.     In  order  to  start  «  department  of  printing  and  binding  I 
recommend  a  special  appropriation  of  12600. 

Turning  from  the  material  to  the  instructional  needs,  I  wiah  to  c*l! 
attention  to  the  fact  that  while  the  enrollmeRt  has  increased  63.6  per 
cent  in  the  past  two  years,  the.  salary  and  maintenance  appropnatioD 
has  increased  only  22.2  per  cent.  Moreover,  the  course  of  study  luia 
jnat  been  extended  two  years,  increasing  considerably  the  number  of 
subjects  taught,  and  the  number  will  increase  still  more  as  the  third- 
and  fourth-year  classes  become  larger.  From  these  conditions  it  is  obvious 
that  a  decided  enlargemmt  of  the  Faculty  will  be  necessary  during  the 
coming  biennium.  We  shall  need  one  man,  with  an  assistant  who  should 
be  a  stenographer,  to  give  his  entire  time  to  the  work  of  registrar, 
recorder  and  financial  secretary.  We  shall  need  another  who  Bhall  de- 
vote himself  to  extension  work,  which  is  growing  rapidly  in  importance- 
and  is  now  requiring  too  much  time  on  the  part  of  our  office  and  of 
regular  members  of  the  Faculty.  I  had  hoped  to  be  able  to  arrange  for 
the  establishment  of  these  positions  at  the  opening  of  the  year  1912-'13, 
but  the  funds  available  did  not  permit  of  it.  We  shall  need  a  woman 
of  unsual  qualifications  to  take  charge  of  our  home-economics  work,  in- 
cluding all  that  is  now  embraced  in  our  domestic  sci^ice  and  arts  de- 
partments. From  present  indications  we  shall  need  two  additional 
aaiatants  in  home  ecoAomica.  We  shall  need  a  professor  of  rural  socio- 
logy and  education.  We  shall  need  three  or  four  additional  instructors 
in  our  enlarged  manual-training  department  as  we  develop  aheet-metal 
and  plumbing  work,  house  and  stair  building,  brick  and  concrete  work, 
and  printing  and  bookbinding.  We  shall  need  an  additional  professor 
of  English,  and  another  of  history  and  social  sciences.  We  shall  need 
an  assistant  in  biology.  We  shall  need  c«ie  or  two  Well-trained  critic 
teachers  for  the  mode!  school.  We  should  be  so  situated  that  we  could 
engage  a  few  educators  of  recognized  standing  to  give  lectures  or  course 
of  lectures  at  the  summer  school,  in  addition  to  the  work  ofTered  by 
regular  members  of  the  Faculty.  Moreover,  the  salaries  of  many  of 
the  members  of  our  faculty  should  be  increased.  I  hope  to  worit  out 
during  the  coming  year  a  plan  for  ranking  the  members  of  the  Faculty 
as  heads  of  departments,  professors,  assistant  professors,  instructors  and 
assistants,  with  a  salary  schedule  for  each  rank,  and  submit  it  for  your 
consideration  and  that  of  the  Board  of  Regents.  This  plan,  if  adopted, 
would  involve  increases  in  salaries  totalling  about  $5000  per  year  for 
our  Faculty  of  nearly  forty.  I  estimate  that  the  addition  of  new  mem- 
bers of  the  Faculty  as  indicated  above,  with  a  small  amount  for  ape^l 
lectures  in  the  summer  school,  would  cost  $26,000.  I  ask,  therefore,  that 
an  addition  of  $30,000  be  made  to  our  salary  and  maintenance  ap- 
propriation for  th^  year  1913-'14,  and  that  a  further  addition  of  (10,000 
be  made  for  the  year  1914-'15,  making  the  salary  and  maintenance  ap- 
propriation for  the  first  year  of  the  coming  birainium  $95,000  and  lor 
the  second  year  $106,000.  I  am  aware  that  this  is  an  increase  of  664 
per  cent  over  the  appropriation  for  the  present  biennium,  but  it  must 
be  borne  in  mind  that  the  enrollment  has  increased  63.6  per  cait  in  the 
past  two  years,  and  also  that  we  are  extending  the  course  of  study  two 
years,  thus  increasing  g^eatiy  the  number  of  subjects  taught.

Report  and  Recommendations  of  Board. 


To  His  ExceUency  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Goverrior  of  Kansas: 

Dear  Sib— -The  Board  of  Penal  Institutions,  being  ex  officio 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Kansas  State  Penitentiary,  sub- 
mits herewith  for  your  consideration  the  eighteenth  biennial 
report  of  the  institution,  which  includes  the  fiscal  years  com- 
mencing July  "l,  1910,  and  ending  June  30,  1912. 

This  report  includes  the  report  of  the  warden,  which  embod- 
ies the  reports  to  him  from  the  heads  of  the  several  depart- 
ments of  the  prison.  These  various  reports  clearly  show  the 
financial  and  business  details  of  the  institution,  and  to  them  we 
respectfully  direct  your  attention. 

During  the  first  year  of  the  period  covered  by  this  report 
the  Board  consisted  of  Messrs.  E.  E.  MuUaney,  T.  C.  Ballinger 
and  E.  R.  Ridgely.  On  July  1,  1911,  the  Board  of  Penal  insti- 
tutionst  created  by  the  legislature  of  1911  session  (see  chapter 
298,  Session  Laws  of  1911),  assumed  control  of  the  institution* 
succeeding  the  Board  of  Directors  above  named.  The  new 
Board,  appointed  by  your  excellency  for  terms  of  one,  two 
and  three  years  respectively,  consists  of  Joseph  H.  Hazen, 
Thos.  W.  Morgan  and  E.  E.  Mullaney, 

J.  K.  Codding  has  been  warden  of  the  Penitentiary  during 
the  entire  period  covered  by  this  report,  and  has  continued  in 
a  most  satisfactory  and  successful  manner  the  work  begun  in 
the  earlier  years  of  his  administration.  Warden  Codding 
brings  to  the  consideration  of  the  problems  of  his  official  posi- 
tion a  degree  of  interest  and  zeal,  coupled  with  intelligence, 
symi)athy  and  good  judgment,  that  eminently  fits  him  for  the 
place  he  holds.  In  his  treatment  of  inmates  as  well  as  offlcera 
he  is  kind  but  firm,  thus '  preserving  a  spirit  of  good  will 
throughout  the  institution  without  any  impairment  of  -the 
required  discipline. 

CALDWELL  LAND  AND  MINERAL  RIGHTS. 

By  sections  1  and  2,  chapter  300,  Session  Laws  of  1911,  the 
legislature  authorized  the  purchase  of  ten  acres  of  land  east  of 
the  Penitentiary,  together  with  all  the  coal  and  mineral  rights 
thereunder,  and  the  purchase  of  the  coal  rights  under  the  south 
portion  of  the  southwest  quarter  of  section  19,  township  9 
south,  range  23  east,  in  Leavenworth  county.  The  Board  pur- 
chased the  ten  acres  of  land  with  the  mineral  rights  and  eighty- 
eight  acres  of  coal  rights,  immediately  adjoining  the  Peniten- 
tiary on  the  south,  for  $13,000.  The  property  thus  acquired 
will  be  of  great  convenience  and  benefit  to  the  institution.

m'gee  land. 

In  the  biennial  report  of  1909-'10  the  Board  strongly  urged 
the  purchase  of  the  north  half  of  the  northwest  quarter  of 
section  30,  township  9,  range  23,  in  Leavenwortii  county. 
This  land  lies  within  eighty  rods  of  the  Penitentiary  and  is 
excellent  gardening  and  truck-farming  land,  every  bit  of  it 
being  subject  to  cultivation.  The  legislature  of  1911  did  not 
authorize  the  purchase  of  the  land,  but  did  appropriate  ^8000 
to  buy  the  coal  rights  under  said  land.  The  Board  purchased 
from  the  owner,  Lena  Yohe  McGee,  the  coal  rights  for  $4000, 
one-half  the  amount  allowed  by  the  legislature,  and  secared 
in  the  name  of  Mr.  G.  C.  Smith,  president  of  the  People's 
National  Bank,  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  an  option  on  the  surface  of 
the  eighty  acres,  for  the  benefit  of  the  state,  for  $125  per  acre, 
the  option  subject  to  the  action  of  the  legislature.  The  warden 
strongly  recommends  its  purchase  in  his  report  to  us,  and 
we  as  strongly  recommend  it  to  your  excellency.  The  vaJne  to 
the  prison  table  of  the  products  of  a  vegetable  garden  is 
very  apparent,  and  the  cultivation  of  the  garden  is  beneficial 
to  a  class  of  prisoners  that  can  not  stand  the  confinement 
of  shop  and  mine.  The  land  used  for  gardening  at  the  present 
time  is  sloping,  clay  hills  and  worn-out  bottom  land  that  should 
be  cropped  to  clover  or  other  grass  for  a  number  of  years  to 
bring  back  its  fertility. 

TUBBRCULAE  HOSPITAL. 

Because  of  there  being  scarcely  any  tubercular  patients  to 
put  in  the  hospital,  there  being  a  decrease  in  the  past  three 
years  of  that  class  of  cases,  the  Board  has  constructed  on  one 
of  the  highest  points  on  the  prison  farm  a  small  wooden  build- 
ing admirably  fitt«d  to  take  care  of  all  the  tubercular  patients 
that  we  have.  This  made  it  unnecessary  to  expend  the  appro- 
priation for  a  larger  tubercular  ward,  and  the  $2000  appropria- 
ted has  been,  and  will  be,  recovered  back  into  the  state  treas- 
ury, and  it  is  the  recommendation  of  the  Board  that  a  general 
hospital  be  built  inside  the  prison  walls,  the  upper  floor  being 
used  for  tubercular  patients.  Dr.  S.  J.  Crumbine,  secretary 
of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  in  making  his  annual  investiga- 
tion of  the  Penitentiary  used  the  following  language  in  regard 
to  the  needs  of  a  general  hospital  and  its  use  for  tubercular 


"The  hospital  ia  unsatisfactory  as  to  arrttngement  and  wholly  i"^ 
qnate  as  to  the  needs  of  the  institution,  but  as  effective  as  ponibl* 
under  tJie  circumstances.  A  new  hospital  shonld  be  boilt,  and  beevBe 
the  number  of  tubercular  patients  is  small  and  likely  to  remain  so,  tbe 
problem  of  their  care  could  easily  be  solved  by  building  a  pavilion  on 
tJie  roof,  communicating  with  a  tuberculous  section  ol  the  bniluliiEi 
having  no  direct  connection  with  the  rest  of  the  hospital."

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  5 

U.  S.  CIVIL  PRISONERS. 

We  recommend  that  the  United  States  civil  prisoners  now 
beins:  kept  in  the  female  department  be  returned  to  the  United 
States  government  and  no  more  be  accepted.  The  compensa- 
tion is  not  sufficient  to  reimburse  the  state  for  the  care  of  the 
prisoners,  and  the  facilities  for  handling  them  are  not 
adequate. 

And  we  further  recwnmend  the  repeal  of  section  8580, 
General  Statutes  of  Kansas,  1909,  authorizing:  the  keeping  of 
United  States  civil  prisoners  at  the  State  Penitentiary. 
PUMPING  PLANT. 

The  present  equipment  for  furnishing  water  consists  of 
four  boilers,  ranging  from  twenty  years  to  thirty  years  in 
service,  and  two  antiquated  pumps.  This  equipment  will  have 
to  be  replaced  with  new  machinery  unless  an  electrical  pump 
is  established  at  the  pumping  station.  The  state  already  owns 
the  poles  to  carry  the  wire  and  the  electrical  generator  to 
furnish  the  current,  the  electrical  pump  being  the  only  thing 
necessary  to  establish  this  modem  power.  We  would  recom- 
mend that  the  sum  of  $5000  be  appropriated  for  this  purpose 
and  that  an  additional  $500  be  appropriated  to  repair  the  old 
boilers  and  machinery  now  at  the  pumping  station,  so  that  a 
reserve  power,  in  case  of  accident  to  the  electrical  pump,  may 
be  ready  for  service.  By  repairing  the  present  pumping  plant 
the  necessity  of  a  duplicate  system  of  generators  and  electrical 
pumps  can  be  avoided,  the  present  steam  plant  taking  the  place 
of  an  additional  electrical  pump  and  generator. 
THE  MINE. 

The  legislature  of  1911  appropriated  $5000  for  new  roofs, 
steel  fan  and  steel  tower  at  the  mine.  The  dangerous  character 
of  the  old  wooden  tower,  grease-soaked  and  inflammable,  and 
the  obsolete  method  of  handling  the  coal  at  the  top  of  the  mine, 
necessitating  the  work  of  forty  men,  made  this  improvement 
absolutely  necessary.  But  the  Board  finds  that  the  $5000 
appropriated  for  the  steel  tower,  roof  and  fan  is  inadequate 
to  properly  complete  this  equipment,  as  steel  cages,  steel  cars 
and  dumping  facilities  are  necessary,  and  to  properly  complete 
the  improvement  contemplated  by  the  legislature  will  necessi- 
tate the  using  of  $3000  of  the  maintenance  and  repair  fund, 
which  can  be  illy  spared  from  this  year's  appropriations. 
The  Board  recommends  that  this  fund  be  augmented  by  an 
appropriation  of  $3000  to  cover  the  amount  taken  out  of  the 
general  maintenance  fund.  When  this  improvement,  at  the 
cost  of  approximately  $8000,  is  completed,  the  work  that  is 
now  being  done  by  forty  men  will  be  done  by  four  men,  re- 
leasing thirty-six  men,  whose  services  will  be  used  profitably 
in  other  departments  of  the  institution.    The  mining  laws  of

6  Kansas  State  Penitentiary. 

Kansas  require  that  each  mine  be  equipped  with  an  escape  or 
air  shaft,  bo  that  in  case  of  any  accident  to  the  main  shitft  the 
miners  may  be  safely  taken  out  of  the  mine.  We  recommend 
that  this  shaft  at  the  Penitentiary  be  equipped  with  steel 
tower,  cages  and  steel  roofs,  the  same  as  the  main  shaft  has 
been  equipped,  and  that  a  new  hoisting  engine  be  purchased 
to  take  the  place  of  the  condemned  one  now  being  used  at  this 
shaft,  and  that  provision  be  made  for  retimbering  this  shaft, 
as  well.  This  will  require  a  special  appropriation  of  about 
fl5,000,  and  we  further  recommend  that  ^000  be  appro- 
■  priated,  in  addition  to  the  above  sum,  for  the  purpose  of  boilers 
at  the  mine  top,  to  take  the  place  of  the  ones  that  should  now 
be  condemned. 

THE  TWINE  PLANT. 
The  past  biennium  has  been  the  most  successful  in  the 
history  of  the  twine  plant.    During  the  two  past  years  5,827,- 
077  pounds  of  twine  have  been  manufactured  and  sold.    The 
quality  of  the  twine  has  been  greatly  improved,  new  machinery 
has  been  added  and  will  be  added,  which  will  further  improve 
the  quality.    While  the  price  to  the  retail  trade  has  been  more 
than  a  cent  per  pound  cheaper  than  the  price  of  trust-made 
twine,  the  state  has  made  a  profit  on  its  two  years  of  twine 
business  of  f48,268.71.    The  Board  is  contemplating  the  pur- 
chase of  additional  machinery  that  will  permit  the  making 
of  three-quarters  of  a  million  more  pounds  per  year,  in  an 
effort  to  supply  the  growing  trade  at  the  plant.    This  machinery 
will  be  installed  as  soon  as  the  expenditure  has  been  approved 
by  the  attorney-general  and  auditor. 
THE  FARM. 
During  the  past  biennium  the  improvement  of  the  fans  and 
'■^■P  increase  of  its  product*  have  been  pushed  more  tJian 
previously.     We  believe  that  to  increase  the  operation  of  the 
farm  will  be  a  saving  and  at  the  same  time  furnish  the  kind 
of  employment  most  beneficial  to  the  prisoner.    We  recommend 
that  the  sum  of  $2000  be  appropriated  for  the  purpose  of 
buying  work  stock,  and  that  a  number  of  the  worn-out  mules 
now  used  in  the  mine  and  on  the  farm  be  sold  and  the  proceeds 
applied  to  the  purchase  of  other  mules,  in  addition  to  the 
?2000  asked  for.     The  Board  has  authorized  the  building  of 
a  silo,  and,  if  its  use  is  found  practicable,  contemplates  having 
others  built. 

CELL  HOUSES. 
In  the  report  of  the  Board  two  years  ago  it  was  recom- 
mended to  the  legislature  that  an  appropriation  be  made  for 
the  purpose  of  removing  each  alternate  partition  between  cells. 
The  legislature  appropriated  for  this  purpose  $4000,  but  on 
investigation  we  found  that  to  do  this  would  not  be  practicable; 
that  after  the  money  was  expended  we  would  still  have  out-ol-

date  and  poorly  ventilated  cells.  With  the  exception  of  a  few 
repairs,  we  have  turned  back,  and  will  turn  back  the  coming 
year,  all  the  money  appropriated  for  the  purpose.  We  believe 
that  the  present  cell  buildings  are  sufficient,  and  that  if  about 
$15,000  was  expended  in  e&ch  cell  building  for  new  cells,  with 
modem  equipment,  the  proper  results  would  be  obtained.  We 
join  the  warden  and  physician  in  their  condemnation  of  the 
present  cell  facilities,  and  we  recommend  that  the  sum  of 
$15,000  be  appropriated  for  the  coming  biennium  to  install  a 
new  and  modem  cell  block  in  the  south-wing  cell  house. 
CBIMINAL  INSANE  HOSPITAL. 

The  legislature  of  1911  established  at  this  institution  a 
hospital  for  the  criminal  insane.  The  constitutionality  and 
legality  of  this  act  was  tested  in  the  supreme  court,  and  Uie 
power  of  the  lesrislature  to 'establish  upon  the  Penitentiary 
grounds  an  institution  of  this  kind  was  upheld.  A  number  of 
patients  have  come  to  this  institution,  but  no  appropriation 
has  ever  been  made  for  the  establishment  of  an  insane  ward 
or  building.  We  believe  that  for  the  next  two  years  it  will 
not  be  necessary  to  erect  a  new  building,  and  that  the  present 
insane  hospital  can  be  utilized  for  this  purpose,  provided  the 
legislature  makes  an  appropriation  sufficient  to  build  a  modem 
and  up-to-date  hospital,  thus  removing  from  the  present  in- 
sane ward  the  hospital  now  conducted  in  the  upper  rooms  of 
the  building.  At  the  present  time  we  are  using  the  entire 
upper  story  of  our  insane-ward  building  for  the  two  surgical 
operating  rooms,  and  the  cells  for  the  convalescent  prisoners 
who  are  injured  in  the  mines  and  who  are  recovering  from 
the  effects  of  surgical  operations.  We  have  some  twenty 
large,  aiiy  and  roomy  ceils  being  thus  used  for  hospital  pur- 
poses which  can  be  used  for  the  criminal  insane  if  a  nH)dem 
hospital  is  built  to  take  care  of  all  of  the  hospital  work.  The 
building  of  this  hospital  is  an  imperative  necessity. 
A  NEW  PENITBNTIARY  NEEDED. 

We  desire  to  call  the  attention  of  your  excellency  and  of  the 
legislature  to  the  fact  that  the  physical  plant  of  the  Kansas 
Penitraitiary  is  for  the  most  part  in  poor  condition  and  thor- 
oughly out  of  date.  The  state  of  Minnesota  abandoned  a 
Penitentiary  equipment  that  is  better  in  many  respects  than 
oura.  Those  who  are  charged  with  responsibility  in  this  mat- 
ter should  realize  that  it  will  be  necessary  either  to  make  a 
large  appropriation  each  year  for  a  term  of  years,  beginning 
at  once,  to  reconstruct  the  various  antiquated  buildings  of  the 
institution,  or  else  to  appropriate  a  lump  sum  of  from  $350,000 
to  $500,000  to  build  a  new  penitentiary.

FUNDS  SHOULD  BE  BEAPPEOFRIATED. 
A  desirable  feature  of  the  appropriation  bill  for  the  OHnii^ 
birainium  would  be  a  section  reappropriating  for  the  use  <^ 
the  Penitentiary  all  such  sums  arising  from  the  sale  of  Peni- 
tentiary products  as  are  not  needed  for  consumption  in  Qa 
institution.    This  is  a  matter  of  vital  importance. 

In  conclusion  we  wish  to  express  our  thanks  to  your  ex-

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report. 


Warden's  Report 


To  the  Honorable  Board  of  Penal  InstituHons: 

Gentlemen — A  former  president  of  the  American  Prison 
Association,  Amos  W.  Butler,  says: 

"The  convict  is  a  man.  His  nature  is  essentially  that  of 
every  one  of  us.  In  considering  prison  systems  let  us  not 
forget  the  man — the  spirit — the  soul.  The  same  things  that 
act  upon  free  men  act  upon  prisoners.  The  same  teaching  and 
preaching,  the  same  kindness  and  humanity  which  reaches  the 
boy  in  the  high  school  will  reach  the  boy  in  the  reformatory 
or  the  man  in  the  prison." 

This  definition  of  the  prisoner  is  the  modem  as  well  as  the 
correct  one.  The  convict's  presence  in  the  Penitentiary  is 
proof  that  he  is  a  defective,  a  delinquent  or  degenerate,  and 
that  organized  society  has  sentenced  him  to  the  Penitentiary 
piimarily  because  it  considers  him  a  misfit,  and  secondarily 
because  it  desires  that  he  should  be  repaired  if  possible  and 
returned  to  civil  life  fit  to  discharge  the  duties  of  citizenship 
as  soon  as  possible. 

In  the  repair  of  broken  men  and  the  remaking  of  defective 
ones,  it  is  necessary  that  they  should  have: 

First — Productive  labor,  and  plenty  of  it. 

Second — Discipline,  wisely  and  firmly  administered. 

Third — Proper  bodily  care,  such  as  wholesome  food  and 
medical  treatment. 

Fourth — Such  mental  and  spiritual  training  as  is  possible 
under  the  limited  opportunities  afforded  by  a  penitentiary. 

Fifth — Prison  recreations,  not  solely  for  the  purpose  of 
giving  pleasure  to  the  prisoners  nor  as  a  prison  fad,  but  for 
tiie  same  reason  that  we  give  them  work,  discipline  and  whole- 
some food. 

The  foregoing  program  has  been  carried  out  during  the  past 
biennium.  Results  of  it  are  noticeable  in  the  reports  of  the 
various  departments.  The  real  result  of  the  past  two  years' 
management  of  the  Penitentiary  can  not  be  shown  in  figures, 
but  is  found  in  the  sentiment  of  the  prisoners;  in  their  willing- 
ness and  their  ability  to  do  the  work  assigned  them ;  their 
almost  uniform  kind  and  courteous  treatment  of  the  officers ; 
the  absence  of  any  destruction  of  prison  property ;  in  the  few 
punishments;  and  in  their  general  cheerfulness  and  obedience. 
These  are  the  real  tests  of  successful  prison  management, 
yet  they  can  only  be  made  apparent  to  those  in  actual  charge 
of  the  institution.    During  the  past  two  years  the  "Man"  in 


ly  Google 


10  .  Kansas  State  Penitentiary. 

the  Penitentiary,  his  care,  development  and  training  for  fature 
citizenship,  has  received  the  first  consideration. 

Second  to  the  "Man"  has  been  the  business  interests  of  the 
institution,  represented  in  its  coal  mine,  brickyard,  twine  plant, 
farm  and  other  activities.  Each  department  has  been  pushed 
for  results.  The  increased  profits  of  the  twine  plant,  the 
largest  in  its  history,  for  two  years ;  the  output  of  the  coal 
mine  and  brickyard  and  the  helpfulness  of  the  farm  are  shown 
in  figures  in  these  various  departments.  A  general  system  of 
up-keep  of  fences,  farm  machinery  and  buildings  has  been 
followed.  A  new  engine  and  boiler  room,  170  feet  long,  48 
feet  wide  and  20  feet  to  the  eaves,  constructed  of  brick,  has 
been  built  from  the  foundation  by  prison  labor,  with  brick 
and  lime  produced  in  the  same  way.  The  island  is  furnishing 
the  prison  all  the  props  and  timber  needed  in  the  mine  opera- 
tions. The  sawmill  machinery  has  been  consolidated  and 
placed  in  charge  of  the  superintendent  of  the  brickyard.  A 
rock  crusher  installed  in  the  brickyard  under  this  manage- 
ment furnishes  rock  for  the  construction  of  rock  roads  on  tbe 
prison  farm  and  in  the  county. 

Many  economies  are  being  practiced,  as  will  be  evidenced 
by  the  report,  namely :  The  sale  of  cinders,  the  decreased  cost 
of  operating  the  farm,  the  small  amoant  per  capita  used  in 
clothing,  the  small  number  of  officers  employed,  and  many 
others  that  are  shown  in  the  reports  of  departments. 
THE  OFFICIAL  FORCE. 

The  present  official  force  has  been  selected  under  the  civi^ 
service  rules  of  this  institution.  Each  officer  empk>yed  has 
been  tried  out  for  a  month  before  being  permanently  placed 
on  the  force,  and  each  man  has  been  selected  because  of  his 
apparent  fitness  for  the  office ;  this  without  regard  to  his  po- 
litical affiliations  and  without  any  pull  or  push  from  politicians. 
I  believe  that  the  Penitentiary  is  nearer  out  of  politics  and  that 
politics  is  nearer  out  of  the  Penitentiary  than  ever  before  in  its 
history,  and  I  think  it  due  to  the  officers  of  the  institution  to 
say  that  a  more  courteous,  prompt  and  efficient  lot  of  prison 
officials  can  not  be  found  in  any  other  Penitentiary  in  the 
United  States. 

THE  NEEDS  OF  THE  PENITENTIARY. 

This  institution  is  less  of  a  burden  to  the  taxpayers  of  the 
state  than  any  other  state  institution,  and  yet  it  has  less  money 
to  spend,  poorer  equipment,  more  ancient  buildings  than  any 
other  state  institution.  We  need  a  large,  roomy,  modem  cell 
for  each  prisoner.  The  little  dingy,  dark  holes-in-the^ww'— 
damp,  musty  and  disease-breeding — are  an  absolute  disgrace 
to  Kansas. 

We  need  a  modem  hospital,  where  we  can  take  care  or  our 
sick  and  injured. 

We  should  have  a  law  authorizing  the  payment  of  a  wage  to

the  prisoners  who  have  families  dependent  upon' them.  Aa 
it  is  now  the  punishment  falls  on  the  wife  and  children  at 
home,  who  have  in  no  way  been  responsible  for  the  crime 
committed  by  the  husband  and  father. 

We  should  have  more  land  for  gardening  and  farming. 

A  better  salary  should  be  paid  to  the  officers. 

Electric  haulage  should  be  established  in  the  mine  and  an 
electric  pump  at  the  pumping  station. 

A  general  clearance  sale  of  old  wagons  and  worn-out  mules 
and  ancient  farm  machinery,  as  well  as  dangerous  boilers  in 
the  engine  room,  should  take  place,  and  first-class  stock  and 
equipment  purchased. 

The  administration  building  should  be  repaired  from  founda- 
tion to  roof. 

Before  taking  up  the  specific  departments,  I  desire  to  ex- 
press to  you  members  of  the  Board  the  appreciation  of  myself 
and  family  and  the  ofllicers  of  this  institution  for  the  kind  and 
courteous  treatment  you  have  exhibited  towards  all  of  us  and 
for  the  ability  you  have  shown  in  directing  the  affairs  of  this 
institution. 

I  submit  herewith  the  reports  to  me  of  the  following  de- 
partments: Record  clerk,  chief  clerk,  chaplain,  physician, 
mine  superintendent,  twine  superintendent,  superintendent  of 
brickyard,  superintendent  of  clothing,  storekeeper,  farmer, 
parole  officer",  and  woman's  department,  aa  a  part  of  my  re- 
port to  you. 

FROM   THE  RECORn  CLERK. 

The  report  of  the  record  clerk  gives  the  details  for  many  interesting 
deductions.  A  total  of  674  prisoners  were  received  during  the  two  years. 
Forty  of  these  were  United  States  prisoners,  so  are  not  part  of  the 
Kansaa  prison  population,  as  they  come  from  United  States  courts  of 
other  states,  the  niaiority  from  WashingtM,  D.  C.  Kansas  courts  sent 
5S4  persons  to  the  Penitentiary.  In  the  preceding  two  years,  1909-'10, 
Kansas  had  670  suit  to  the  Penitentiary,  a  decrease  of  over  6  per  cent. 
The  total  number  of  prison  inmates  on  June  30,  1912,  was  909;  of  these 
38  were  United  States'  priscmers. 

The  age  of  those  sent  to  the  Penitentiary  ehowa  a  slight  advancement 
in  the  last  two  years  over  those  of  the  same  preceding  period.  During 
the  present  biennial  period  58.8  per  cent  of  the  newcomers  were  less  than 
31  years  old,  and  10.9  per  coit  were  less  than  21  years  old.  For  the  two 
prior  years  the  percentages  were  64.8  and  16.6  per  cent,  respectively. 
The  table  that  follows  gives  the  ages  and  comparisons  in  detail  in  ten- 
year  periods:

12  Kajtms  State  Penitentiary. 

Of  the  574  inmates  who  arrived  this  bientduin  76.1  per  cent  left  home 
before  they  were  21  ^ears  of  agre.  It  may  be  noted  that  58J  per  cent  of 
the  total  number  of  inmates  arrive  at  this  place  before  they  are  31  years 
of  &g&  The  details  for  age  at  time  of  leaTing  home  vill  be  found  in 
table  10  of  the  record  clerk's  report. 

There  were  594  prisoners  released  from  the  Penitentiary  in  the  biennial 

Seriod.  The  average  len^h  of  sentence  was  3  years,  9  months  and  9 
ays.  This  is  an  increase  of  2  mmths  over  the  preceding  biainial  period. 
Of  those  released,  213,  or  85.8  per  cent,  served  a  longer  time  than  die 
average;  27.1  per  cent,  or  161,  served  less  than  2  years;  475,  or  79J  per 
cent,  were  confined  for  less  than  5  years.  Over  2  per  cent  served  more 
than  10  years.  The  longest  term  served  was  22  years.  The  number  of 
life  term  prisoners  released  was  4;  they  served  an  aggregate  of  over 
54  years,  the  average  time  of  each  being  13  years,  1  month  and  15  days. 
Three  life  men  died  in  the  two  years  within  the  prison.  The  average 
time  of  their  confinemoit  before  released  by  deaUi  was  10  years,  1 
month  and  4  days.  The  details  are  found  in  table  3  of  the  record  clerk. 
More  than  one-half  of  the  arrivals  in  the  past  two  years  are  withoat 
marital  ties— 360,  or  61  per  cent.  More  than  one-third  have  a  wife  and 
family — 203,  or  35.5  per  cent.  Twenty-one  had  been  married,  but  were 
not  living  with  their  families.  The  widowers  numbered  31,  the  widows  7, 
and  27  were  divorced.    The  following  table  gives  the  details: 

TABLE  II.     Sbowinc  nuriUl  reUtioiu. 


Sixty-three  per  cent — 362 — of  the  674  newcomers  state  that  they  were 
users  of  intoxicating  liquors,  while  37  per  cent  were  nonusers.  Of  those 
received  in  the  preceding  biennium  78.3  per  cent  were  liquor  users,  a 
decrease  of  10  per  cent. 

Those  idle  when  their  offoise  was  committed  number  213,  or  37  per 
cent;  En  the  prior  bi«inium  this  percoitage  was  41.6.  The  average  penod 
of  idleness  preceding  the  commitment  of  crime  was  41  days;  tiie  prior 
two  years  showed  an  average  idleness  of  64  days. 

The  education  of  those  who  were  received  during  the  biennial  period 
was  considerably  below  normal.  Those  unable  to  read  or  write  were 
7  per  cait  of  the  total.  This  is  more  than  double  the  average  illitersc; 
of  the  state.  Two  per  cent  had  less  than  one  year  schooling;  36.8  per 
cent  had  one  to  four  years  in  school — barely  able  to  read  and  write.  These 
total  46  per  cent  who  were  either  without  education  or  less  than  four  yesj^ 
schooling.  Those  who  had  the  advantages  of  the  graded  school  ^^ 
extent  of  reaching  high-school  standards  arc  48.7  per  c»it;  9.6  per  tmt 
had  a  high  school  or  more  advanced  education.  There  were  foar  eolleg* 
men.     {See  table  5,  report  of  record  clerk.)  . 

Sixty-three,  or  10.9  per  cent,  of  the  prisoners  received  in  the  biennisi 
period  had  definite  s«itences  varying  from  one  year  to  life.  There  «w 
one  99-year  sentence,  and  17  were  sent  for  the  remainder  of  their  exi^'

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  18 

Thirty-eight  of  the  909  pTiBonen  in  custody  at  the  close  of  the  bimnial 
period  are  United  States  female  convicts,  leaving  but  20  female  inmates 
convicted  in  the  Kansas  courts;  this  is  less  than  3  per  cent  of  the  total 
numbo'  of  convictions  among  the  Kansas  inmates.  Negroes  number  327, 
or  36  per  cent,  of  the  prison  inhabitants.  The  negroes  of  Kansas  are 
3.5  per  cent  of  the  population;  they  furnish  36  per  cent  of  the  Peni- 
tentiary population.  There  are  two  less  in  the  number  of  negroes  now 
than  there  were  two  years  ago.  There  are  7  Indiana  and  16  Mexicans; 
two  years  ago  there  were  7  Mexicans  and  4  Indians.  In  the  two  years 
the  net  decrease  in  the  number  of  Penitaitiary  inmates  from  the  Kansas 
courts  is  two — from  873  to  871.  The  number  of  United  States  prisoners 
confined  here  has  increased  fnun  17  to  38 — all  females.  (See  table  7, 
report  of  record  clerk.) 

In  the  two  years  under  consideration,  613  prisoners  were  released  from 
CDstody  of  the  Penitentiary.  Of  those  liberated  136,  or  22.1  per  cent, 
served  the  time  for  which  they  were  sentenced.  For  the  preening  two 
y«ars  those  who  served  their  full  sentence  were  31.7  per  cent  of  the  total. 
The  number  paroled  was  411,  or  67  per  cent;  this  is  an  increase  of  3.5 
pa-  cent  in  the  proportion  of  paroles  over  the  two  years  immediately 
prior.  Nearly  5  per  cent  of  those  who  left  the  Penitentiary  were  trans- 
ferred to  the  Hutchinson  Reformatory.  No  prisoners  were  released  by 
gubematorial  pardon  in  the  two  years,  which  marks  the  first  biennial 
period  in  which  the  governor  has  not  exercised  this  form  of  executive 
denency.  The  governor  issued  99  paroles,  while  the  Penitaitiary  Parole 
Board  issned  312.  The  complete  details  of  the  releases  from  the  Peni- 
tentiary are  found  in  table  8  in  the  report  of  the  record  clerk. 

The  nativity  of  the  674  prisoners  received  the  part  two  years  shows 
that  but  126,  or  less  than  22  per  ceit,  were  natives  of  Kansas.  Those 
bom  in  foreign  countries  numb^  48,  or  8.3  per  cent,  leaving  626,  or  91.7 
per  cent,  native  bom.  People  bom  in  Missouri,  68  in  number,  give 
Kansas  11.8  per  cent  of  her  Penitentiary  inmates.  The  other  three  states 
that  border  on  Kansas  combined  furnish  about  one-half  as  many— 6.6 

fer  cent.  Texas  and  Oklahoma  each  give  Kansas  the  same  number  of 
mitoitiarT  inmates — 21.  Of  the  foreign-bom  prisoners  received  in  the 
two  years  Mexico  famished  36.4  per  cent,  or  more  than  one-third.  The 
details  of  nativity  are  found  in  table  9  in  the  report  of  the  record  clerk. 

Twen^-three  counties  of  the  106  in  Kansas^  with  a  population  of 
164,190,  have  sent  no  prisoners  to  the  Penitentiary  for  the  two  years 
under  consideration.  Eighteen  counties,  with  a  population  of  84,099, 
have  no  repreaoitative  in  the  Kansas  Penitentiary.  Nineteen  counties 
have  but  one  man  in  the  instituticm.  Prom  13  counties,  representing  SG.4 
per  cent  of  the  population,  come  51.1  per  cent,  or  476  of  the  Penitentiary 
iumates.  Two  years  ago  these  same  counties  contributed  66.3  per  cent 
of  the  Penitentiary  population.  In  1910  but  11  counties  had  20  or  more 
inmates;  in  1912  two  counties  are  added  to  the  20-pnsoner  list  Kansas 
has  one  inmate  of  the  Penitentiary  for  each  1936  of  its  total  population. 
These  13  counties  have  one  inhabitant  of  the  Penitentdary  for  each  1234. 
It  nuy  be  noticed  that  these  counties  are  on  the  eastern  and  Boutheni 
border  of  our  state,  with  four  exceptions.  The  three  tables  following

Of  the  909  inmates,  332,  or  36.6  per  cent,  have  served  previous  sen-

tence,  and  others  in  varying  proportions  have  served  poial  time  to  twdv« 
aentaices.  The  newer  inmates  do  not  show  so  large  a  proportion  of 
recidivists,  only  28.4  per  cent  being  repeaters,  as  against  86.6  per  — '

The  slight  increase  in  the  age  of  the  new  inmates  and  the  larger 
percoitage  of  first-termers  are  encoura^nnS'  indications,  showing  « 
diminution  of  the  more  serious  juvenile  crime  and  that  the  older  sntt- 
social  are  either  absenting  themselves  from  Kansas,  being  reformed, 
or  have  an  increased  fear  of  the  law's  punishment. 

The  634  people  from  the  Kansas  courts  who  came  to  the  Penitential^ 
in  the  past  two  years  were  found  guilty  of  sixty'five  varieties  of  of- 
fenses as  defined  by  technical  law.  Grouping  these  offenses  under  three 
heads,  as  against  society,  against  persons,  against  property,  it  is  fouod 
that  the  offenses  against  property  are  largely  in  the  majority.  The  fol- 
lowing table  gives  such  grouping:

Four  are  prisoners  because  of  keeping  a  gambling  honse,  two  for

lOO  for  manslaughter,  assault  and  murder,  and  there  are  48  here  for 
forgery.    (See  table  4,  report  of  record  clerk.) 

FROM  THE  CHIEF  CI£RK. 

The  report  of  the  chief  clerk  gives  a  succinct  statement  of  the  earnings 
and  expenditures  of  the  plant,  supplemented  by  a  detailed  statanoit  of 
the  disposition  of  the  brick  and  coal  sent  to  the  variona  state  inetitntiOBs. 


ly  Google 


Eighteenth  Biennial  Report.  15 

The  value  of  coal  shipped  to  state  inatitutione  aggreagted  $193,822.68, 
coverinjr  the  72,119  tons  of  coal  shipped.  Brick  were  shipped  to  state 
institutions  to  the  number  of  4,253,750,  their  value  being  $26,312.24. 

One  of  the  items  of  expense  that  is  not  often  found  is  shown  in 
table  2,  being  the  amount  of  money  paid  to  prisoners  during  their  con- 
finement and  upon  their  discharge,  the  aggregate  sum  in  the  two  years 
for  this  purpose  amountine  to  $21,597.79.  - 

This  Penitentiary  has  for  some  time  ceased  to  be  merely  a  penal  in- 
stitution; it  covers  a  large  business  fleld,  aggregating  about  a  quarter  of 
a  million  dollars  in  value  annually.  This  business  ia  not  carried  on  with- 
out what  are  known  in  business  parlance  as  "overhead  expenses."  Or- 
dinarily in  pcaial  institutions  money  for  salaries  is  devoted  exclusively  to 
the  guarding  and  managemcait  of  the  inmates,  and  for  the  necessary 
care,  food  and  clothing.  The  productive  branch  of  most  penitentiaries 
is  under  the  control  of  outside  men,  but  in  this  institution  the  pay  roll 
includes  the  administrative  officers  as  well  as  the  direct  prison  force. 
The  chief  clerk,  in  table  1,  puts  the  saiariee  of  the  administrative  officers 
at  a  total  of  $56,727.17  while  that  of  the  overseers  connected  directly  with 
the  prisoners  he  _places  at  $98,796.84.  It  will  thus  be  seen  that  34.7  per 
cent  of  the  salaries  are  devoted  to  the  "overhead  charges,"  while  for  the 
actual  overseeing  and  directing  of  the  prisoners  we  have  65.3  per  cent. 
The  reading  of  the  chief  clerlTs  report,  if  done  in  connection  with  that 
of  the  storekeeper,  will  furnish  a  very  complete  idea  of  all  the  details 
of  income  and  expense  for  the  institution.  In  each  year  the  adminis- 
trative officers  have  numbered  28.  In  1911  the  overseers  numbered  78, 
and  in  1912  this  was  reduced  by  5,  to  68,  though  the  average  number  of 
inmates  increased  from  896  to  927.

tration; $98,796.84,  or  65.8  per  cent,  goes  to  overseers.  Of  the  total 
ocpcnse  for  tJie  institution  for  the  two  years — $390,205.22,  an  average 
of  $195,102.61  annually — $155,524.10,  or  39.8  per  cent,  go  for  salaries. 
The  table  gives  the  annual  per  capita  coat  of  food,  farm  products  in- 
cluded, at  $66.74;  clothing  at  $14.55;  housing  (cost  and  care  of  building 
not  included),  bedding  and  cell  accessories,  at  $4.57;  overseeing  at  $54.20; 
a  total  of  $140.06. 

In  1906  the  United  States  Commissioaer  of  labor  gave  the  average 
annual  cost  for  all  adult  penal  institutions  in  the  country  as  to  food,

16  Kan»xs  State  Penitentiary. 

Id  the  years  since  1905  the  advance  in  the  price  of  food  ia  a  fact  known 
to  all.  For  the  three  items  compared — the  only  ones  given  that  are  of 
like  character — Kansas  shows  an  excess  cost  of  (10.80.  The  ezceaa  shows 
in  the  one  item  of  food,  and  amoonts  to  115.37;  the  cost  of  employee  and 
clothing  are  each  less  for  Kansas.  It  may  be  noted  that  the  value  of 
farm  products  for  the  Kansas  Poiitentiary,  used  for  food,  amounts  to 
$16.44;  thus  the  farm  makes  good  the  deficiency  and  has  SI. 07  to  apply 
on  the  purchased  food.  The  average  amount  per  capita,  (214.03,  which 
covers  all  the  money  appropriated  to  the  institution,  varies  largely  from 
year  to  year,  d^>ending  mtirely  upon  the  sums  devoted  to  pennanoit  im- 
provements, repairs,  etc.  The  salary  and  maintenance  list  is  also  much 
affected  Inr  the  kind  of  work  done  and  the  imnrovetnents  made.  The 
salary  and  maintenance  per  capita  is  $13.58  less  ttian  the  total  per  capita, 
which  gives  an  index  to  the  cost  of  permanent  fixtures  and  repairs. 

TBE  TWINE  PIANT. 

The  twine  plant  made  5,938,350  pounds  of  twine  in  the  two  years 
under  consideration;  6,827,415  pounds  were  sold.  The  sales  for  1912  up 
to  June  30  exceeded  those  of  1911  by  1,603,829  pounds.  The  total  value 
of  the  twine  sold  was  $357,709.90;  the  net  profits  were  $48,268.71.  At 
the  end  of  the  bienninm  the  twine  plant  revolving  fund  was  $293,842.21. 
FROM  THE  snxBESxrm. 

The  provisions  consumed  during  the  biennium  were  valued  at  $121,686. 
Of  thU  value  $29,974.62  was  produced  from,  the  farm  and  $91,711J8 
was  secured  by  purchase.  The  daily  per  capita  value  of  food  bougfat 
was  13.7  cents;  from  the  farm,  4.5  cents.  It  is  with  satisfaction  Uiit 
we  note  the  increased  value  which  the  farm  oiables  us  to  put  in  the 
daili/  ration  of  the  inmates.  The  farm  not  only  provides  a  greater 
variety  of  foodstuffs,  but  by  care  in  the  preparation  of  the  food  bought, 
the  milk,  pure  lard  and  e^ga,  adds  much  to  the  palatableness  of  the 
meals  served,  as  well  as  giving  a  much  more  "balanced  ration."  The 
last  consideration  is  quite  as  valuable  in  feeding  men  as  in  farii^iiig 
animals  to  the  most  healthful  and  profitable  condition.  ■ 

Table  9  gives  a  statement  of  the  average  amount  of  staple  fooib 
consumed  annually  per  capita  by  the  inmates.  It  will  be  seen  that  1.1 
pounds  of  meat,  nearly  one  pound  each  of  fionr  and  potatoes,  is  the 
average  daily  consumption  per  capita  of  these  basic  foods.  EWc^ 
articles  of  food  are  covered  t^  the  compilation. 

For  clothing  $26,586.85  was  expend^  an  annual  per  capita  exporai- 
ture  of  $14.55.  This  includes  suits,  underwear,  shoes,  hats  and  povca 
The  cost  of  housing  supplies,  vie.,  bedding,  towels,  soap  and  oeil-house 
accessories,  was  $4.57  per  capita  for  each  year.  For  these  three  itMM 
we  have  an  annual  per  capita  expenditure  of  $85.86,  or  23K  cents  p^ 
day.  The  details  for  these  expenditures  are  found  in  tables  1  to  ', 
inclusive,  of  the  storekeeper's  report 

Table  8  gives  a  detailed  account  of  the  value  of  materials  issued  » 
the  different  departments  of  the  Penitentiary.  This  table  is  interesdug 
not  only  because  of  the  values  enumerated,  but  also  as  giving  a  ««- 
densed  list  of  the  variety  of  departments  which  it  is  necessary  to  maffl- 
tain.    These  various  departments  required  an  expenditure  of  $209,^8.0^' 

THE    FARM. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  valuable  adjuncts  to  the  Penitentiary  welfare. 
As  an  industrial  proposition  it  pays  its  own  way,  and  in  the  part  t*J 
years  has  returned  a  fair  profit.  It  provides  productive  employmw 
for  quite  a  number  that  are  physically  incapacitated  for  other  wo* 
and  permits  the  uae  of  men  whose  terms  will  bo<»i  expire.  This  irork  U* 
farm  provides  in  just  such  proportions  as  is  suited  to  the  atrengtii  >m 
capability  of  the  weak  and  untrained.  To  those  who  becMne  «»PJ"^ 
by  long  onployment  in  the  various  industrial  plants  mside  the  ^".^

and  inTigorRtin^  to  mentality.  For  men  about  to  leave  the  priBon  otter 
rears  of  labor  in  shop-  or  mine  it  proveB  a  profitable  and  helpful  means 
of  contact  with  earth  and  air  whiui  tliey  will  hare  when  freedom  comes, 
thus  enabling  them  to  appear  in  public  without  the  "prison  pallor"  or 
"cell-honse  nerves." 

As  will  be  seen  by  the  report  of  the  farm  eaperintendent  in  his  list  of 
products,  the  farm  enables  the  giving  of  wholesome  and  varied  food, 
which  it  would  be  quite  impoaaible  to  buy.  A  "boiled  dinner"  occasionally 
is  quite  as  acceptable,  healthful  and  profitable  to  a  prisoner  as  to  one 
who  is  not,  and  the  farm  makes  possible  such  meala  at  intervals  long 
oiough  apart  to  add  to  their  appreciation. 

It  is  quite  possible  that  a  larger  monetary  value  might  be  taken 
from  the  farm  were  it  deemed  advisable  to  put  a  larger  force  of  men  and 
mea  of  more  physical  force  to  work  upon  the  land;  but  the  Judgment  has 
been  proven  good  that  devotes  the  farm  to  producing  food  that  would  be 
practically  unobtainable,  and  using  it  as  an  employment  place  for  men 
who  need  regular  and  outdoor  employm^it  rather  tnan  indoor  labor  and 
confinement. 

FBOH  THS  PABOLG  OFFICE. 

During  this  biennium  418  men  hbve  been  paroled;  20  of  them,  or 
4.8  per  cent,  have  been  returned  for  violation  of  their  parole;  19,  or 
4.6  per  coit,  have  been  discharged;  4  have  died,  and  61,  or  12.3  per  cent, 
are  delinquent,  leaving  Sid  now  on  parole  for  the  period  under  considera- 
tion.  The  total  number  of  paroles  issued  since  the  parole  law  was 
enacted,  in  1908,  is  645;  68,  or  8.2  per  cent,  have  been  returned  to  the 
prison. 

chaplain's  report. 

The  report  of  the  chaplain  is  hopeful  and  pregnant  with  suggestions. 
The  religious  work  has  been  active.  The  Prison  League,  a  purely  volun- 
tary organization,  has  increased  from  152  to  300  members.  This  not 
<Nnly  is  indicative  of  the  increase  in  religious  sentiment,  but  its  good 
effects  are  seen  in  matters  of  discipline  and  better  conduct.  The  report 
of  the  school  work  and  the  need  of  increased  facilities  are  distiiwtly 
set  forth,  and  I  concur  in  the  recnnmendatiMis.  The  work  done  by  the 
Chouteau  relief  fund  and  Uie  committee  in  charge  emphasizes  the  need 
ol  the  prisoners'  families.  Those  dependent  ones  must  live,  and  there 
seems  to  be  no  adequate  provisions  for  them  when  the  natural  provider 
is  taken  away.  Likewise,  the  men  who  are  paroled  or  dischar^d  have 
in  many  cases  only  their  labor,  which  they  must  find  a  market  for  and 
live  while  making  the  search.  The  Chouteau  fund  has  been  very  helpful 
to  these  men.  This  fund  has  been  so  well  managed,  and  appeals  so 
stnmgly  to  those  who  know  its  object,  that  over  C5000  has  been  handled. 
The  chaplain's  report  in  its  entirety  is  worthy  of  earnest  consideration. 

THE   FHYBICIAN'S   DIAGNOSIS. 

Of  the  909  present  inmates,  288,  or  31.6  per  cent,  went  under  the 
physici&n's  care  immediately  upon  their  arrival  at  the  institution;  48 
of  these  were  totally  disabled  when  they  came.  The  records  show  that 
642,  or  69.6  per  cent,  of  the  90S  had  been  or  were  affected  with  venereal 
disease.  This  is  not  a  bright  outlook,  from  a  physical  standpoint,  for 
a  start  frran  the  free  social  life  to  that  of  penal  servitude.  However, 
the  report  shows  that  after  a  sojourn  here  varying  from  several  months 
to  four  years,  the  average  gain  in  weight  is  6.8  pounds  per  man.  More 
adequate  hospital  facilities  and  increased  room  for  the  insane  are  needed, 
and  the  physician  shows  why.  Under  a  new  law  passed  by  the  last 
legisbitar«  we  have  received  seven  insane  from  other  institutions.  A 
net  gain  of  eleven  insane  in  the  two  years  are  in  the  insane  ward. 

I  cMicar  in  the  criticism  of  the  sleeping  arrangements  in  the  cell 
hoafles,  and  ask  earnest  consideration  for  the  same.  The  tubercular 
situation  ie  subject  for  congratulation.     There  was  but  one  death  from

that  cause  this  bienniiim,  thoagh  nine  cases  were  treated.  Wilk  in 
averagB  population  of  911.6,  we  have  had  but  11  deaths  in  llie  too 
Tears;  3  of  these  were  among'  the  insane.  The  following  table  gives  the 
death  and  tuberculosis  rate  per  100  inmates  for  the  past  12  years,  ss 
taken  fmn  the  reports  of  the  different  physicians: 


TABLE  •faowliw  death  ■ 


Dbat-1  Rate  rv 


r  IE  Tcan.   1M0-'12. 

S  YHa.     Ratio  m  1< 


From  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the  highest  death  rate  was  in  1902. 
when  the  rate  exceeded  one  to  each  100  inmates;  in  1912,  ten  Tears 
later,  the  death  rate  is  less  than  one  to  each  SOD.  Tuberculosis  had  its 
highest  rate  in  1909,  when  there  was  one  death  from  that  eanse  to  ttth 
126  inmates;  in  1912  there  were  no  deaths  frmn  this  cause. 

The  physician  notes  that  the  cost  for  drugs  and  surgical  dressings  is 
practically  «ie  dollar  per  year  for  each  inmate. 

Respectfully  eulimitted,

PROM  THE  TWINE  PLANT  SUPERINTENDENT. 


J.  R.  Ck>dding,  Wardm: 

Dear  Sir— I  snbmit  tha  foUowing  report  of  the  flacal  yean  191L-'12. 
The  buineu  end  of  the  plant  is  given  in  the  cuhier'a  reporta.  The  put 
two  yean  have  shown  a  steady  increase  in  businees,  it  beii^  necessary  to 
run  the  mill  overtime  to  supply  the  demand,  and  even  then  we  were  not 
able  to  do  so.  Hardly  a  week  passes  but  what  we  have  made  some 
improvement  in  our  system  of  manufacturing.  This  has  been  done  with 
very  little  cost,  owing  to  the  fact  that  many  of  the  prisoners  are  good 
mechanics.  It  is  proper  to  mention  the  fact  that  a  large  amount  of  our 
sueeesa  is  due  to  the  interest  the  men  take  in  their  work.  Many  have 
offered  good  suggestions  and  assisted  me  in  many  ways,  for  which  I  am 


I  would  suggest  that  we  parcfaase  fifteen  jennies  for  our  spinning 
department.  The  preparing  department  is  rather  heavy  for  the  number  ^ 
spinners  we  now  have,  and  could  easily  furnish  enough  sliver  for  the  addi- 
tional spinners,  and  we  have  sufficient  ballera  to  take  care  of  the  extra 
twine  spun.  The  addition  of  theae  fifteen  jennies  would  increase  the  output 
of  the  mill  760,000  pounds  per  year,  which,  if  our  sales  of  this  year  are  to 
be  taken  as  indicative  of  the  future,  wilt  be  needed. 

I  would  suggest  that  another  water  main  be  placed  in  the  mill,  and  that 
we  install  one  fifty-gallon  chemical  fire  engine  in  our  No.  1  warehouse. 
The  fan  or  suction  system  that  you  asked  me  to  investigste  hss  been  looked 
into.  I  am  confident  that  at  a  very  small  expense  this  can  be  installed, 
as  we  have  a  fan  that  can  be  used,  and  as  soon  as  possible  I  will  start  to 
put  it  in  poeitinn.  This  will  be,  in  my  opinion,  one  of  the  best  improve- 
ments that  can  be  made,  as  it  will  remove  the  dust  from  the  mills,  making  . 
it  much  more  healthy  for  the  men. 

The  average  number  of  men  employed  daily  has  been  eighty.  The  mill 
was  operated  continuously,  with  the  exception  of  two  weeks  in  1911  and 
three  weeks  in  1912.  when  it  was  closed  fnr  repairs.  In  1911  we  manufac- 
tured 3.129.000  pounds  of  twine;  in  1912,  2,809,850  pounds;  a  total  of 
6,9^360  pounds. 

We  have  had  a  prosperous  two  years,  and  we  all  feel  proud  of  what  baa 
been  accomplished.  We  got  good  results  without  neglecting  the  men, 
morally,  mentally  or  physically.  The  men  in  my  charge  are  in  better  con- 
dition in  general  than  they  ever  have  been  in  the  past. 

Thanking  you  for  your  hearty  codperation,  I  am 

Yours  very  truly.  John  L.  Cline, 

Superintendent  Tuiitu  Plant,  K.  S.  P.

REPORT  OP  FARM  SUPERINTfiNDENT. 

J.  K.  Coddinn,  Wanim; 

I  sabmit  herewith  &  resume  of  the  PeaiteDtUry  fann  AnditsactiTitiM  for 
Uie  two  years  ending  June  80,  1912.  Of  the  700  M:r«-f«nn  w«  are  cultiTat- 
ing  about  200.  Thia  does  not  include  the  tureage  of  the  orchard  which  i* 
seeded  to  clover.  On  the  island  we  are  cultivBtmg  about  125  acres— 120  in 
corn— the  rest  in  vines.  We  have  had  alwut  the  same  area  each  year. 
Tnere  is  a  slight  increase  in  acreage  this  year  over  last,  l>ec8use  of  land 
that  has  been  cleared  of  brush  and  brought  under  the  plow,  also  from  Ititd 
that  has  been  reclaimed  fram  ditches  by  proper  filling  with  hniid)  and  small 
«inbankments.  Some  sixty  acres  have  been  fertilized  in  the  two  years  b; 
using  the  offal  from  the  various  bams.  This  has  added  much  to  the  pro- 
ductiveness. A  change  in  cropping  has  been  followed  that  is  restoring 
land  that  has  been  steadily  used  for  com  for  thirty  years.  Some  forty 
acres  of  orchard  has  been  plowed,  fertilised  and  disked  and  sowed  to  clover, 
which  is  doing  well.  About  three  and  one-half  miles  of  new  fence  bas  beat 
constructed  and  all  fences  repaired.  Considerable  ditching  has  been  done. 
The  farm  gives  employment  to  about  thirty  men  during  the  farm  sesstm, 
many  of  whom  could  not  be  employed  in  any  other  way.  The  work  stock 
on  the  place  averages  twelve  mules  and  one  horse.  As  a  rule,  the  molts 
Are  from  the  mine  and  have  served  long  under  the  ground.  Both  as  to  msn 
and  mules,  the  farm  serves  as  a  place  where  otherwise  unavailable  labor  ii 
turned  to  more  or  less  value. 

We  have  now  on  the  farm  a  dairy  herd  of  46  cows  and  1  thorongfabrcd 
bull  and^24  head  of  youag  stock.  The  older  cows  are  being  butchered 
annually  as  theybecome  less  valuable  as  milkers,  and  the  heifers  are  tsfcnw 
their  places.  We  have  about  300  h<%8  and  ahoats,  100  pigs,  and  60  brtxia 
sows.  During  19IL  we  lost  800  hogs  and  pigs  from  cholera.  We  havt 
about  recovered  this  loss  as  to  numbers. 

Last  year  our  crops  were  better  than  the  average,  considering  the  bb- 
eeasonableness;  this  is  especially  true  of  the  flekl  crops  on  Steigers'  Island. 
This  year,  considering  the  quality  of  land  on  the  main  farm,  the  prodocs 
bids  fair  to  be  unusual  lyplentifnl.  Much  of  the  garden  stuff  has  abeady 
shown  a  prolific  yield.  Ilie  orchard,  which  was  thoroughly  sprayed,  has  ■ 
bountiful  crop.  Among  the  garden  crops  now  growing  cm  the  60  acres  de- 
voted to  that  purpose  may  be  cited:  86,000  cabbage;  12  aerea  of  tomatoct: 
25  acres  of  potatoes;  4  acres  of  turnips;  5  acres  of  beans;  2)  acres  of  beett; 
H  acres  of  peas;  one-half  acre  each  of  carrots  and  parsnips;  3i  acres  of 
seed  onions;  H  acres  each  of  radishes,  lettuce  and  spinach;  4  acres  of  en- 
cumbers; many  small  patches  of  squashes  and  pumpkins  on  land  that  could 
not  it*  easily  handled  for  other  crops.  We  have  36  acres  of  cane  for  aor- 
ghum,  12  acres  of  broom  com.  and  8  acres  of  tobacco  plant*. 

We  have  a  hay  baler,  and  have  saved  considerable  by  handling  oar  own 
hay  and  straw  and  several  fields  nf  hay  for  the  neighbonng  farmers. 

A  portion  of  our  older  orchard  has  been  attack^  with  black  rot,  and  we 
have  not  discovered  any  remedy. 

Last  year  we  raised  about  1100  chickens.  We  now  have  3000  chickmt 
and  about  100  laying  hens  and  81  ducks. 

In  addition  to  what  has  been  used  direct  from  the  fields,  the  folk>wiiig 
amounta  and  values  have  passed  through  the  hands  of  the  storekeeper.

REPORT  OF  THE  PAROLE  DEPARTMENT. 


J.  K.  Codding,  Warden: 

Sir— I  herewith  aubmit  my  second  blennjal  report  for  this  deiwrtiDeBt, 
bwiDning  July  1,  1910,  and  ending  June  30.  1912. 

The  table  will  show  the  work  done  during  the  two  yeftrs.  You  will  notiM 
that  we  have  nearly  doubled  the  number  on  parole,  aleo  the  further  fact 
that  our  paroles  are  allowed  now  to  live  on  parole  outside  the  stete,  aome 
of  them  as  far  as  New  York  and  Califomiar 

This  malcee  the  work  of  looking  after  them  much  greater  and  the  expense 
much  heavier.  The  number  on  parole  will  continue  to  ateadily  increase, 
hence  a  larger  salary  and  a  larger  expense  account,  in  order  to  attoid  to 
the  work  properly,  seems  very  necessary. 

The  table  shows  that  418  prisoners  were  paroled  from  June  30,  1910.  to 
JuneS0,1912,  Of  this  number  71  violated  their  parole,  or  17.2  per  cenL  Of 
the  71  that  violated  their  parole,  20  have  been  returned,  7  are  located  in 
other  prisons,  and  44  are  fugitives.  The  table  also  shows  that  232  priionen 
were  on  parole  June  30.  1910.  Of  this  number  66  violated  their  parole,  or 
^.4  per  cent,  during  the  two  years.  Of  the  66  that  violated  their  parolei, 
83  have  been  returned,  10  are  located  in  other  prisons,  and  23  are  fugitivca. 

The  per  cent  of  violations  of  paroles  granted  by  Gov.  W.  R.  Stubbs  ii 
nine-tenths  of  one  per  cent,  which  is  less  than  those  granted  bv  the  Board. 

There  were  on  parole  June  30, 1910,  2S2  people ;  since  that  time  413  bive 
been  paroled,  makmg  a  total  of  646  who  have  Men  released  up  to  June  30, 
1912.

S^hteen^  Biennial  Report, 


REPORT  OP  THE  CHAPLAIN. 

J.  K.  Codding,  Wardm: 

If  the  ezperiene«  of  th«  put  two  yearg  could  be  aummed  up  in  ■  brief 
stfttement  it  might  be  done  thus: 

The  good  are  bad, 

Once  in  a  while; 
The  bad  are  good, 

Twice  in  a  while ; 
Bat  the  good  are  not  bad 
And  the  bad  are  not  good. 


11  of  the  while, 
t  ia  oecaus 


If  this  can  be  objected  to  it  ia  oecause  the  good  and  the  bad  are  ao  irre- 
trievably mixed  and  dove-tailed  in  each  person  that  only  the  All-wiEC  can 
say:    "This  ia  the  sheep,  this  ia  the  goat." 

No  general  classification  of  prisoneTs  can  be  adequate.  In  view  of  the 
all-but-infinite  possibilitieB  of  each  human  soul,  I  feel  each  time  I  question 
a  newly  convicted  prisoner,  no  matter  what  the  crime,  that  it  but  a  portion 
of  the  Boal  is  laid  bare  I  am  in  a  holy  presence.  The  effort  is  to  show  the 
from  the  flrat  hour,  that  he  or  she  has  not  be 
oaas,  but  that  each  individual  faces  his  own  fu 

are  his— that  the  line  ia  open  from  him  to  God. 

Yet  with  some,  a  few,  I  am  almost  held  back  from  trying  to  open  thia 
hope  to  them  when  the  conviction  forces  itself  upon  me :  "in  a  short  time 
I'll  have  to  visit  this  man  under  punishment, "  Laziness,  viciousnesH,  heed- 
lesaneaa,  sullen  disposition,  one  or  the  other  shown  from  the  first,  leads  to 
violation  of  the  rulea.    - 

PUNI8HHENT  IN  PRISON. 

I  am  glad  to  say  that  in  this  prison  the  infliction  of  physical  pain,  or  of 
punishment  which  injures  health  or  mind,  ia  not  approved;  Ibat  the  use  of 
the  dark  cell  is  very  rarely  resorted  to. 

To  those  who  hope  to  make  a  parole,  the  rule  that  there  must  be  six 
months  of  good  behaviour  before  the  Board  can  act  favorably  on  their  ap- 
plications, la  the  most  powerful  motive  for  obeying  ihe  rules,  aside  from 
the  atroDger  motive,  wnich  most  inmates  here  have— a  desire  to  obey  the 
rules  because  that  is  the  right  thing.  In  regard  to  those  whose  only  thought 
ia  to  stay  until  released  on  their  maximum  time,  it  has  seemed  to  me  that, 
the  laws  should  allow  that  a  refusal  to  work  when  able,  or  wrong  conduct, 
should  bo  causes  for  the  extension  of  the  maximum  sentence  even.  Viola-, 
tions  of  rules  should  be  met  with  solitary  confinement  under  healthful  con- 
ditions; failure  to  work,  by  the  same  confinement  until  the  prisoner  ia. 
willing  to  return  to  work,  and  in  both  cases  the  time  so  spent  should  be- 
added  tothelr  maximum  sentence.  The  effect  wonld  be  that  some  stubborn 
or  vicious  ones  would  have  to  learn  to  control  themselves  or  remain  in  prison 
all  their  lives. 

PROaECtmON  FOR  CRIMES  DONS  IN  PRISON. 

Why  should  not  those  who,  while  prisoners,  violate  the  statutes—as,  for 
instance,  those  wbo  commit  sodomy  or  mske  an  attack  upon  the  lives  of 
fellow  prisoners  or  olTlcers— be  tried  in  court  and  given  another  sentence 
to  be  served  after  the  current  term  is  completed  T 

SEOQREOATION  OF  CERTAIN  PRISONERS.

REUGIOUB  WORK  IN  TBE  PENITENTIARY. 

The  law  for  the  chaplain  hai  been  complied  with,  in  that  be  haa  eoa- 
ducted  breacbinf  service  for  tbe  inmates  on  every  Sabbatb  of  the  year,  and 
has  performed  such  other  duties  as  were  required  of  him  by  the  warden. 
He  ha«  preached  at  the  general  aerriee  required  by  law,  exeei>t  when  the 
address  was  made  by  the  warden  or  a  visitor.  Some  of  these  visitors  have 
been  invited,  and  tiieir  help  has  been  highly  appreeiatad.  In  stHue  eases 
the  privilege  of  speaking  to  the  inmates  nas  been  sought  by  repreaentativH 
of  societies  or  ideas,  and  their  request  has  not  be«i  refused  because  this  u 
a  state  institutioii.  although  the  usefulnees  of  tbe  ideas  advanced  have 
been  doubted  in  some  cases. 

The  attendance  of  the  League  of  Christian  Endeavour  has  been  vohui- 
tary  and  has  averaged  about  300.  Twenty-seven  have  been  baptiiedat

semiannual  communion  season  108  men  and  women  priaoners  partook  of  the 
Bscrament.  The  heart  of  tbe  Christian  life  of  the  institution  is  found  in 
the  Sunday  afternoon  meeting  with  tbe  teachers  and  offlcera  of  the  League, 
where  we  spend  two  hourB  in  preparing  the  lesson  for  the  nest  meetimrsiKi 
in  discussion  It  is  there  that  all  plans  are  made  and  teachers  and  offieen 
are  chosen.  Through  these  men  and  those  whom  thev  teach  in  their  elassci 
on  each  Sabbath  goes  out  the  touch  of  sympathy  and  Christian  hope  whieti 
brightens  the  time  of  prison  life. 

WORK  AMONG  TBB  WOMEN. 

The  daily  guidance  of  three  Christian  ladies.  Ifrs.  Simpson,  matron,  sod 
Hiss  Fitzpfttnck  and  Hiss  Danner,  assistants,  is  of  untold  help  to  tbe  female 
prisoners.  The  sympathetic  counsel  of  Mrs.  Codding  in  their  affairs  is  an- 
other great  blessing  for  them.  And  the  Sunday  morning's  training  clats, 
where  Mrs.  Codding  presides  and  Miss  Edith  Robertson  teaches,  has  bea  s 
great  force  for  good  in  their  lives.  They  have  an  opportunity  to  learn  gcB- 
tleness,  purity  and  Bihie  truth  through  the  medium  of  sweet  womanliiien. 
The  chaplain  also  holds  a  service  with  the  women  on  each  Sabbath  and 
counsels  with  them  at  other  times. 

INDIVIDUAL  CHRIBTIAN  WORK, 

With  every  prisoner  the  chaplain  has  a  conference  on  the  first  dsy  of 
prison  life,  and  each  is  eameBtiy  invited  to  seek  forgiveness  from  God  sod 
to  accept  Christ  as  a  living  friend.  Afterward,  from  cell  to  cell  at  tbe 
time  of  punishment,  or  inliis  own  office,  private  talks  are  had  daily  mtt 
those  who  are  willing  to  accept  counsel.  The  chaplain  has  learned  much  in 
this  way.     He  hopes  that  he  Has  helped  much. 


IMPROVEMENT  IN  THE  MUSICAL  DEPARTMENT. 

Since  Hr.  Fred  Hitler,  who  was  formerly  employed  in  an  United  StatM 
Military  Band,  has  been  secured  to  be  musical  director  for  the  prison,  tlicK 
has  been  a  marked  improvement  in  our  music.  This  has  very  mucfa  sddid 
to  the  effectiveness  of  our  chapel  services,  where  the  band  and  the  ebiHr, 
which  is  led  by  a  prisoner,  have  been  greatly  enjoyed;  and  the  music  m- 
dered  by  the  choir  on  special  occasions,  in  the  cell  houses  and  in  bospitsli, 
have  always  brought  cheer  to  the  hearers. 

NERDS  OP  ADEQUATE  BUILDINGS  FOR  SCHOOL  AND  LEAGUE  WORK. 

Twenty-seven  Bible  classes  held  in  one  room  at  the  same  time,  ind 
about  the  same  number  of  classes  in  the  night  school  with  a  still  largw  a>-

Eighteenth  Biennial  Report. 


NIGHT-8CHOOL  WORK. 


DuriiiK  the  put  winter  we  conducted  the  third  Beasioii  of  the  night 
school  during  the  present  adminiatration.  It  had  the  loneeat  term  and  the 
largest  attendance  and  the  moat  varied  curriculum,  ae  well  as  the  greatest 
benefit  to  those  attending,  of  any  session  of  school  ever  held  in  the  prison. 
Th«  teaching  in  the  men  s  school  was  entirely  by  prisoners,  except  what 
was  done  l^the  chaplain.  The  highest  commendation  is  the  ueed  of  these 
teachers.  TTiey  did  the  work  with  a  desire  to  help.  They  were  not  all 
trained  teachers;  they  could  not  all  obtain  diplomas:  but  they  were  teacKing 
men  who  knew  less  than  they  did,  and  they  helped  the  pupils.  Illiterate 
meu  learned  to  read  and  write;  others  made  advances  or  reviewed  subjects 
almost  forgotten.  The  subjects  taught  were  those  commonly  pursued  in 
the  grade  schools,  and  for  the  more  advanced  pupils  there  were  classes  in 
spelling,  penmanship,  composition,  bookkeeping,  shorthand  and  Spanish. 
A  class  of  foreigners  studied  English. 

The  officers,  under  the  supervision  of  Deputy  Warden  Lindsay,  were 
DMWt  helpful  in  diligently  kee^ng  order  and  in  encouraging  the  pupils  and 
teachers.  It  was  thisgood  will  and  cooperation  which  made  the  success  of 
the  school  possible.  The  interest  felt  was  manifested  by  the  fact  that  the 
attendance  was  fully  as  large  at  the  last  as  at  any  time  during  the  term. 
The  interest  was  in  part  maintained  by  the  entertainments,  one  about  the 
middle  of  the  terms  and  one  at  the  close,  in  which  the  men  themselves  took 
the  principal  parts.  The  teachers  very  much  enjoyed  the  privilege,  given 
them  under  your  direction,  of  eating  a  specially  prepared  supper  on  the 
days  of  the  school,  with  the  pleasure  of  talking  together  while  eating. 

The  school  in  the  women's  ward  was  taught  by  Hiss  Edith  Robertson, 
assisted  by  Hiss  Fitzpatrick  and  two  of  the  inmates.  The  improvement 
already  mentioned  was  as  apparent  here  as  among  the  men,  and  the  enter- 
tainment arranged  by  the  women  was  worth  going  far  to  see. 

During  the  time  of  vacation  for  the  general  schools,  special  claEses  are 
being  faeld  for  illiterates  and  for  the  advanced  work  of  bookkeeping,  short- 
haniiand  harmony  in  theory  of  music.  Those  who  are  to  be  teachers  in 
next  season's  work  will  be  instructed  in  methods  and  will  partly  review 
their  work. 

THB  LIBRARY. 


widely  in  other  lines.  But  near^  600  daily  papers  and  an  equal  number  of 
weekly  and  monthly  pub1leati<His  are  received  byinmatea,  paid  for  by  them- 
selrea,  or  by  friends  for  them,  snd  those  who  nave  not  the  means  to  get 


periodicala  for  tiiemselves  generally  get  to  read  them  by  the  kindneee  of 
some  other  prisoner. 

Hany  papers  are  sent  in  by  parties  who  have  no  personal  friends  here, 
with  charitable  intent.  I  have  noticed  that  a  larsa  part  of  papers  so  sent 
are  from  people  representing  sects,  small  and  rather  peculiar,  who  advocate 
ideas  differing  from  those  generally  accepted  by  Christendom.  It  occurs  to 
me  that  there  might  be  a  good  field  here  for  the  larger  denominations  to 
give  from  their  faroad  charity. 

Aside  from  the  school  books  and  Bible*,  nearly  1000  books  from  the 
library  are  read  each  month— a  total  of  11,913  during  the  past  year.  In 
twenty-four  months  129  books  were  added  to  our  library  by  purchase,  4S8 
books  added  by  donation  from  Mrs.  J  P  Gamble,  Hr.  David  Baston,  the 
Leavenworth  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  the  I-eavenworth  public  library,  snd  a  few 
by  prisoners.  Sixty-two  volumes  of  magazines  have  been  hound  in  the 
prison  bindery  and  given  to  inmates  to  read 

Over  a  year  ago  the  preparation  of  a  new  catalog  was  undertaken  in  the 
chaplain's  office,  but  owing  to  the  press  of  other  work  it  has  been  delayed. 
It  has  proven  a  larger  work  than  we  had  realiied,  but  it  is  nearly  done  now, 
and  I  trust  that  it  may  be  printed  soon.

In  the  fall  of  1909  we  commenced  iMuiaji  »  Siinda^  bulletin  contaminK 
the  order  of  chapel  exercises.  There  were  added  notes  concerning  thii^s 
of  interest  in  prison  life.  The  need  of  a  larger  sheet  was  soon  evinced,  but 
the  chaplain  felt  that  he  could  not  add  this  to  his  work,  until  in  Febnisr; 
of  this  year  the  deroand  for  it  became  so  strong  that  the  enlargement  was 
made.  Its  success  was  immediate,  and  it  isproving  its  usefulness  with 
each  issue.  It  is  a  medium  for  the  diacusBion  of  ideas  vital  to  the  aims  for 
which  we  sre  striving;  it  gives  expression  to  the  thoughts  of  the  inmates 
and  lets  the  people  of  the  state  know  of  our  work  and  purposes.  We  want 
the  Htate's  citizens  to  understand  our  problems  and  to  join  with  us  in  their 
Mlation, 

CHOUTEAU  RBUBP-PUND  WORK. 

Unique  among  all  plsns  for  the  amelioration  of  suffering  caused  by  prison 
confinement  is  the  method  found  here.  In  the  source  from  which  the  fundi 
are  obtained,  in  the  co-opemtion  between  the  priBonrr  and  citiien  volunteer 
worker  and  in  the  administration  of  relief  it  is  a  pioneer.  Since  prisoner 
Chojteau  made  the  first  appeal  for  such  a  work  and  gave  (100  with  which 
to  start,  and  Warden  Coddmg  secured  the  approval  of  the  Board  of  Direc- 
tors, the  work  has  gone  steadily  forward.  There  is  no  room  here  to  tell  all 
the  story.  The  beginnings  were  small  and  the  bottom  of  the  barrel  wis 
scraped  so  hsrd  at  times  that  some  got  splinters  in  their  liagera.  Bnt  it 
grew.  From  donations  by  prisoners  and  others,  from  sales  to  visitors  cf 
articles  made  here,  and  safes  to  prisoners  of  such  articles  as  they  are  allowed 
to  have  by  the  Board,  the  money  has  been  raised.  Our  bank  book  shows 
that  the  committee  appointed  by  you  has  deposited  (5221  since  the  aceonBt 
was  opened.  Of  this,  $1633  has  been  paid  out  in  relief  to  the  needy  families 
of  inmates,  or  to  prisoners  on  parole  to  tide  them  over  emenrencies.  The 
balance  has  been  psid  for  goods  or  is  still  on  deposit.  The  demand  grows 
as  our  experience  widens.  Sixty-one  different  families  have  been  aided, 
and  in  nearly  one-half  these  eases  Ihe  husband  or  father  hu  returned  to 
support  the  needy  ones.  In  many  cases  the  help  given  has  soemed  to  n 
pitifully  small,  but  it  has  been  a  real  lift  and  encouragement.  Possibly  in 
most  of  the  cssea  more  good  has  been  done  for  the  iwedy  by  finding  for 
them  friends  in  their  own  community  who  have  been  suceorers  to  tbem  in 
ways  that  the  committee  could  not  have  managed.  This  brings  me  to 
another  point  worth  noticing: 

THE  STATB  WBLFARB  BOARD. 

I  have  not  had  the  pleasure  of  cmg^ing  in  this  work ;  I  only  wid)  Is 
emphasize  the  need  of  it.  The  relief  committee  finds  thai  most  of  th* 
cases  called  to  its  attention  are  so  far  away  snd  information  is  so  inade- 
quate we  can  not  be  at  all  sure  that  they  need  help.  It  wouM  be  a  great 
advantage  were  there  a  welfare  board  in  each  county  seat,  cooperating 
with  a  state  board,  to  investigate  and  advise  in  the  administration  of  such 
aid  as  we  give. 

RECREATION  AND  AHUaBHBNT  AND  HEALTH. 

Christ  healed  the  sick.  Rehab t It tatton  of  men  and  women  inclades  their 
being  fitted  to  enter  into  industrial  life.  While  this  question  would  seem 
to  belong  naturally  to  the  physician's  field,  it  overlaps  into  the  chsniain'i 

Siurview.  Open-air  services  are  held  every  Sunday  when  it  is  possible,  fol- 
owed  by  a  period  of  freedom  in  the  yard-park  before  dinner.  Moving-picture 
exhibitions,  inipl rational,  instructive  and  entertaininir,  mirth- providing  "

At  the  request  of  the  men  and  by  authorization  of  the  warden  and  deputy 
warden,  the  chaplain  haa  acted  aa  chairman  of  the  committee  on  athletiea 
for  the  priatMi,  on  wtiich  four  priaoners  are  the  other  members.  During 
the  summer  months  outdoor  gamea  are  encouraged.  Every  prisoner,  ex- 
cept the  minora,  have  a  half-hour  recreation  period  for  five  days  in  the 
week.  The  minere  have  an  hour  and  a  half  every  Saturday  afternoon. 
Baseball  ia  the  favorite  pastime;  basket  ball  and  horaeaboe-pitching  is  also 
played.  The  women,  too,  have  their  periods  and  their  gamea.  During  the 
moDtha  when  outdoor  recreation  is  imposaible  the  men  now  have  the  privi- 
lege of  a  gymnaaium,  fitted  up  in  a  room  formerly  uaed  by  fnmiture.makeis 
under  the  contract  system  (now  happily  abolished).  Apparstos  was  botight

sult. 

Host  of  the  inmates  prove  to  be  interested  spectators  rather  than  active 
participaRts  in  the  games.  This  gives  them  mental  rest,  and  in  so  far  ta 
good :  Dnt  it  does  not  give  them  all  they  need  for  physical  improvement.  I 
wonid  suggest  that  a  system  of  setting-np  exercisea,  similar  to  those  used 
in  military  training,  might  be  introduced  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  do  not 
take  any  recreative  exercise.

In  dosing  I  wish  to  express  my  thanks  to  Almighty  God  for  the  blessing 
on  the  work ;  to  the  Board  of  Penal  Institutions,  and  to  the  warden  and  to

KEPOET  OF  PHYSICIAN. 

J.  K.  Codding,  Warden.: 

Sib— The  time  has  arrived  when  I  have  the  pleaaant  duty  of  renderitis 
you  an  account  of  the  pru<Hi'B  medical  department  for  the  biennial  pcaiod 
ending  June  30,  1912.  While  thia  is  my  second  report  to  you,  it  iathe  first 
where  1  tiave  been  in  charge  (or  the  entire  period  covered  by  the  report. 
We  have  had  do  sertous  epidemics  during  the  period  just  cloaed.  so  oar 
principal  labors  have  been  witt  those  received  in  poor  health,  the  injuriM 
received  in  the  mine,  ahopa,  etc.,  and  our  efforta  to  better  the  tubercnkwi* 
situation.  We  have  treated  at  the  morning  aick  call  an  average  of  82  men 
per  day;  of  these  an  avwage  of  8  were  excused  from  work.  Wo  have 
treated  in  the  hospital  6S&  cases ;  this  is  for  all  causes.  Of  these  424  were 
for  aiekness,  100  for  injuries  and  166  for  operations. 

Of  the  909  inmates  in  this  ini  titution,  288  reported  in  poor  health  when 
received;  40  were  practically  totally  disabled,  ^16  have  at  aome  lime  had 
gonorrhea,  126  claim  to  have  had  syphilis,  and  of  the  latter  number  26  per 
e«nt  ahowed  evidences  of  the  disease  being  active.  Since  syphilis  iaa  most 
damaging  and  persistent  as  well  as  infectious  blood  disease,  it  requifM 
constant  care  and  expensive  treatment  to  keep  it  confined  to  those  dIm 
were  infected  before  their  arrival  at  this  institution.  There  have  been  a 
large  number  of  in  juriea,  but  fortunately  not  many  were  serious.  One  msn 
was  killed  outright  by  a  fall  of  slate  in  the  mine,  this  being  the  only 
fatality.  Host  of  the  injuries,  and  the  most  serious  cmes,  come  fron  the 
mine. 

The  general  health  of  the  inmates  of  this  institution  is  undoubtedly  good. 
This  is  beat  shown  by  the  results  of  the  teat  made  by  Doctors  Alextader 
and  Cruritbine,  Hav  26.  1912,  when  40  men  from  the  different  departments 
were  examined  and  weighed,  and  showed  an  average  gain  of  6.8  pounds  per 
man.  Of  these  men  there  were  11  who  had  been  here  more  than  four  jcsn, 
and  their  average  gain  was  9.5  pounds.  The  lowest  gain  per  roan  wu  id 
those  who  had  been  here  the  shortest  time. 

Our  quarters,  which  charity  permits  us  to  call  a  hospital,  are  extremci; 
inadequate.  The  medical  department  of  a  prison  with  upwards  of  300  ic- 
mates  is  no  small  part  of  that  institution,  and  it  ahould  be  well  equippMl- 
A  man  in  a  prison,  if  sick,  injured  or  in  need  of  surgical  attention,  u  o-

the  best  chance  for  recovery.  The  present  makeshift  ouartera  are  so  ptwrlr 
adapted  to  our  needs  thatwe  have  about  reached  the  place  where  a  ba^jiw 
is  imperative.  Excepting  our  operating  room,  we  have  pnctically  nothiv ' 
If  the  medical  department  of  this  institution  is  expected  to  advance  it  amt 
have  better  equi^nnent.  A  general  hospital  of  three  stories,  the  two  lowci 
floora  for  general  use,  and  the  upper  floor  arranged  for  the  opoi-air  trtil- 
tnent  of  tuberculosis,  would  in  my  judgment  be  an  ideal  arrangemeat  for  id 
institution  of  this  kind.  A  new  general  hospital  would  relieve  the  erowdtd 
condition  of  the  insane  building.  We  are  now  compelled  to  use  some  of  Um 
rooms  in  this  building  for  the  injured  and  surgical  cases.  We  have  SO  in- 
sane housed  in  this  building,  every  available  room  being  in  use.  IImm 
rooms  are  10  feet  8  inches  by  8  feet  six  inches,  and  we  are  forced  to  put 
two  or  three  patients  in  each  room.  In  addition  to  this,  we  have  six  of  tMM 
on  the  insane  count  confined  in  the  prison  cell  house. 

The  insane  building  is  badly  in  need  of  a  B;^stem  of  forced  ventilstide. 
The  windows  are  small,  and  on  one  side  the  air  is  shut  off  by  other  \)wA- 
ings.  In  its  present  crowded  condition  it  is  a  menace  to  the  besllh  of  iu 
occupants.  There  are  upwards  of  4S  insane  men  in  this  institution,  and  ■■

under  the  criminal-insane  act,  which  makes  a  total  of  20  received.  Three 
were  transferred  from  here  to  the  Topeka  State  Hospital,  8  were  paroled, 
and  8  died,  leaving  a  total  gain  of  11  for  the  biennial  period-  If  tnia  ratio 
of  gain  should  continue  I  am  at  loss  to  know  bow  we  are  to  take  care  of 
them. 

The  sanitary  condition  of  the  cell  houses  is  as  good  as  the  present  ar- 
rangements will  permit;  hut  if  the  institution  hopes  to  make  its  inmates 
atrive  for  better  thincrs  in  life  it  will  have  to  set  a  better  example.  Com- 
pelling a  man,  after  a  day's  work,  to  go  into  one  of  the  little  cells  now  pro- 
vided, and  sleep  on  a  bag  of  straw  only  half  wide  enough,  and  almost  as 
unyielding  as  the  floor,  will  certainly  never  do  it. 

The  tuberculosis  problem  haa  not  caused  us  any  sreat  anxiety  during 
the  two  years  covered  in  the  report.  We  have  had  but  one  death  from 
tuberculosis  in  this  time,  and  that  was  one  of  our  most  hopeless  insane  pa- 
tienta,  which  made  successful  treatment  of  this  individual  out  of  the  ques- 
tion. In  addition  to  our  own  tubercular  patients,  the  Hutchinson  Reforma- 
tory has  tranaferred  to  us  twelve  of  its  most  advanced  tubercular  patients. 
Cofwidering  this  handicap,  I  believe  that  the  medical  department  has  a  right 
to  be  proud  of  this  record.  We  have  found  tuberculin  a  great  aidin  the  treat- 
ment of  this  class  of  caaes.  We  have  had  tweoty-flve  on  this  treatment, 
and  it  has  proved  a  benefit  in  nearly  every  ease  where  osed.  I  attribute 
the  decrease  in  the  spread  of  tuberculosis  largely  to'  the  isolating  of  sus- 
pected cases  and  dai^  recreation  periods.  The  latter  is  undoubtedly  of  the 
^eatest  benefit  to  men  with  a  tendency  to  tuberculoais.

WOMEN'S  WARD. 


J.  K.  Codding,  Wardm: 

Deas  Sir— The  namb< 

'Otii«r  facta  necesaary  to ....,_._  _ ,._.__ 

the  record  clerk.  The  health  and  conduct  of  Uie  women  in  this  department 
hkve  been  above  the  average  during  the  past  two  yean.  The  euMtitution 
-of  Hiss  A.  Danner  for  the  man  Eu^rd  heretofore  employed  haa  been  an  im- 
prorement.  I  believe  that  three  things  have  contributed  to  the  improve- 
ment  in  this  department: 

First.  The  recreation  given  the  women  at  stated  periods,  permitting 
them  to  get  out  of  doors  and  relax  from  disciphne. 

Steond.  The  outdoor  work  in  garden  and  orchard,  where  from  fifteen  to 
twenty-five  women  each  day  have  been  at  work  hoeing  in  the  garden,  pick- 
ing: vegetables,  apples  and  that  claas  of  work. 

TTtird.  The  pnaon  school  and  Bible  teachinfr,  which  open  up  to  the  we- 
Duui  in  the  cell  an  opportunity  to  employ  her  mind  upon  better  things.

COAL-MINE  DEPARTMENT. 

Warden  J.  K.  Codding: 

Dbab  Sib— I  herewith  submit  a  report  of  conditions  in  and  around  the 
cod-mine  department.  While  there  tuive  been  considerable  improvements 
made  during  the  past  two  years,  it  seems  to  me  that  the  building  of  thenew 
steel  ventilating  fan  is  bv  far  the  most  important  thing  thathas  been  done, 
aa  it  will  Insure  ui  abundance  of  pure,  fresh  air  at  the  working  face  for  an 
almost  indefinite  period  to  the  future.  The  next  thing  in  importance  Is  the 
building  of  the  new  steel  tipple  and  hoisting  tower,  and  the  removal  of  the 
eld,  oil-soaked  wooden  towers,  that  has  been  a  menace  to  the  lives  of  the 
prisoners  for  BO  many  years.  There  are  lesa  men  employed  in  the  coal  mines 
at  this  time  than  ever  before.  Notwithstanding  this  fact,  there  seems  to 
have  been  more  coal  produced  for  the  number  of  men  employed  than  ever 
before,  aa  the  following  report  will  show: 

The  total  amount  of  coal  mined  during  the  years  1911  and  1912  is  186,081 
tons,  and  the  average  number  of  men  employed  during  the  same  period  was 
293  per  day  for  the  618  daya  worked.  The  monthly  output  was  B,628,81 
tons.  By  dividing  this  by  the  number  of  working  days  it  will  be  seen  that 
the  men  actually  at  the  working  face  produced  an  avenge  of  217.38  tons 
per  day,  making  a  grand  total  of  13&,031  tons,  or  3,377. 187  oushela.

BOARD  OF  MANAGERS'  REPORT. 

To  His  ExeeUeney  W,  R.  Stubba,  Governor  of  Kansas: 

Dear  Snt — The  Board  of  Penal  InBtitutions,  Buccessor  to 
the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Kansas  State  Industrial  Re- 
formatory, submits  herewith  for  your  infonnation  and  con- 
sideration the  Ninth  Biennial  Report  of  the  institution,  cover- 
ing the  period  from  July  1,  1910,  to  June  30,  1912. 

This  report  includes  the  report  of  the  superintendent  which, 
in  turn,  embodies  the  reports  to  him  from  the  heads  of  the 
several  departments  of  the  institution,  and  to  them  we  re- 
spectfully direct  your  attention. 

CHANGE   IN   THE  BOABD. 

During  the  first  year  of  the  period  covered  by  this  report, 
R.  J.  Hopkins,  who  had  been  elected  lieutenant  governor  of  the 
state^  resigned  his  position  as  a  member  of  the  Board  and  was- 
succeeded  by  A.  W.  Logan,  who  served  during  the  months  of 
April,  May  and  June,  1911.  The  Board  of  Managers,  consist- 
ing of  Messrs.  Phillip  Kelley,  Thos.  W.  Morgan  and  A.  W. 
Logan,  was  on  July  1,  1911,  succeeded  by  the  new  Board  of 
Penal  Institutions,  which  had  been  created  by  the  legislature 
of  1011  to  manage  and  control  the  Reformatory  and  State 
Penitentiary.  This  Board,  appointed  by  your  excellency  for 
terms  of  one,  two  and  three  years,  respectively,  consists  of 
Joseph  H.  Hazen,  E.  E.  Mullaney  and  Thos.  W.  Morgan. 

THE   SUPERINTENDENT. 

M.  F.  Amrine  has  been  superintendent  of  the  institution 
during  twenty-two  months  of  the  biennium,  having  succeeded 
the  Rev.  Chas.  A.  Richard  on  September  1, 1910.  Mr.  Richard 
resigned  as  superintendent  in  order  to  resume  his  chosen  life 
work  as  a  minister  of  the  gospel.  During  his  connection  with 
the  Reformatory,  first  as  chaplain  and  afterwards  as  superin- 
tendent, Mr.  Richard  served  the  institution  with  intelligence, 
loyalty  and  zeal. 

Superintendent  Amrine,  during  his  term  of  ofllice  has  car- 
ried forward  the  work  of  improvement  begun  by  his  prede- 
cessors and  has  also  introduced  many  new  features  originated 
by  himself.  A  number  of  these  features  are  specifically 
enumerated  in  his  report.  In  this  connection  we  desire  to 
thank  Superintendent  Amrine  for  the  courtesy  he  has  shown 
to  the  members  of  the  Board  in  the  course  of  our  business 
relations,  and  for  the  promptness  and  cheerfulness  with  which

he  has  carried  into  effect  the  Board's  orders  and  recom- 
mendations. We  also  wish  to  thank  all  of  the  subordinate 
officers  for  the  zeal  and  interest  they  have  shown  in  the  ful- 
fillment of  their  official  duties 

IMPROVEMENTS  IN  PLANT. 

For  a  number  of  years  improvements  in  the  physical  plant 
of  the  Reformatory  have  been  steadily  in  prosress,  until  to-day 
the  efjuipment  is  one  of  the  best  to  be  found  anywhere  in  the 
United  States.  There  are,  however,  still  a  few  improvements 
that  should  be  made  at  once  and  for  which  special  appropiia- 
tiom-.  will  be  necessary.  Cell  house  No.  3  is  now  practiially 
completed,  with  the  exception  of  the  roof.  It  should  at  once 
be  roofed  in  permanent  style  in  harmony  with  the  remainder 
of  thf  institution,  at  a  cost  to  be  determined  on  the  recommen- 
dation of  the  state  architect. 

The  wooden  bam  within  the  walls  should  be  replaced  by  a 
stone  and  metal  building  of  adequate  size  for  the  needs  of  the 
institution,  thus  following  the  idea  of  having  all  buildings  on 
the  grounds  Are  proof  in  their  construction. 

CONSOLIDATED  APPROPRIATIONS. 
The  appropriations  made  for  the  Reformatory  by  the  19U 
legislature  were  distributed  into  twenty-six  different  funds. 
Without  presuming  to  criticise  those  who  make  our  laws,  Ihe 
Board  feels  that  the  seggregation  of  the  different  funds  works 
a  great  hardship  upon  the  institution  and  its  officers.  It  id 
impossible  to  forecast  accurately  two  years  in  advance  the 
amount  of  money  that  will  be  needed  for  the  twenty-six  dif- 
ferent purposes  enumerated  in  our  last  appropriation  bill- 
The  result  ia  that  while  some  funds  are  "long"  others  arc 
"short,"  and  the  Board  is  forced  to  turn  back  into  the  state 
treasury  funds  from  certain  items  of  appropriation,  while  in 
other  items  it  does  not  have  the  resources  necessary  to  cariT 
on  the  work  of  the  institution.  A  blanket  appropriation  cov- 
ering exactly  the  same  amount  of  money,  and  to  be  used  for 
any  form  of  maintenance,  is  infinitely  better  than  one  divided 
into  numerous  funds  which  by  being  not  accurately  balanctKl 
to  the  needs  of  the  institution  as  they  develop,  proves  a  handi- 
cap to  successful  administration. 

FUNDS  SHOULD  BE  RBAPPBOPBIATED. 

Another  desirable  feature  of  the  appropriation  bill  for  tiie 
coming  biennium  would  be  a  section  reappropriating  for  the 
use  of  the  Reformatory  all  sums  arising  from  the  sale  of  aueh 
products  of  the  farm,  manual  training  school,  etc.,  as  are  not 
needed  for  consumption  in  the  institution.  This  is  a  matter 
of  vital  importance. 

In  conclusion,  the  Board  desires  to  express  its  thanks  ts

REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT, 

„   ,1    „  ,,    „  Hutchinson,  Kan.,  July  1,  1912. 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  Penal  Inatilutiona  of  the  StaU  of  Kajmi: 

Gentlemen — I  herewith  submit  my  report  as  Buperintendent  of  the 
Kansas  State  Reformatory,  and  with  it  reports  of  heads  of  depart- 
ments, for  the  biennial  period  beginning  July  1,  1910,  and  ending  June 
SO,  1912,  Although  the  reports  of  departments  cover  the  entire  bien- 
nium,  my  report  covers  but  twenty-two  months,  this  being  the  length  of 
time  I  have  been  superintendent.  From  the  standpoint  of  material  de- 
velopment I  think  the  inatitution  has  just  completed  two  good  yeare.  In 
this  period  the  followinff  material,  permanent  improvonents  have  been 
completed  without  special  appropriations: 

Store  room  and  storage  cellar $10,200 

Molasses  factory  and  cane  mill 800 

Chicken  brooder  450 

Pour  poultry  houses  and  pens '  860 

Fire-hose  building 200 

Retaining  wall 160 


Stable    700 

Cave  cellar  for  farmers'  residence 100 

Cattle  shed 400 

914,660 
These  improvements  represent  a  total  of  {14,650,  and  were  eonstnict«d 
with  inmate  labor,  the  building  stone  being  the  accumulat«d  product  of  the 
stonc'Cutting  detail,  one  of  the  regular  trade  departments  of  tJie  instita- 

The  following  permanent  improvements  have  been  acc<Mnplished  with- 
out special  appropriation  in  the  engineer's  department: 
Fire  hose  for  outside  and  inside  protection,  emergency  fire  ex- 
tinguishers, hose,  reels,  and  nozzels   1625.00 

Flame  arc  lamps  on  enclosing  walls  and  buildings   570.00 

Irrigation   plant,    including    twenty-five    horsepower    traction 
engine,  centrifugal  pump,  suction  and  dischai^  pipe,  and 

truck  for  the  pump   2,400.00 

Overhauling,  repairing  and  replacing  the  heating  system  of  the 

institution  2,600.00 

Heating  plant  for  the  chicken  brooder 100.00 

Total  "ie^iM 

These  permanent  improvements,  $6,296,  do  not  include  any  estimsl* 
for  the  labor  used.  This  construction  work,  as  well  as  all  other  «n- 
struction  work  of  the  institution,  is  accomplished  with  inmate  labor  under 
the  direction  of  officers  regularly  engaged  as  heads  of  the  several  de- 
partments. The  total  of  permanent  improvements  eatabliflhed  witiiout 
special  appropriation  in  the  past  two  years  is  $20,846.  This  estuMie 
of  improvements  did  not  include  five  blocks  of  macadam  road,  some  of" 
consisting  of  a  grade  eight  feet  high,  connecting  the  north  entrance  of  tn* 
Reformatory  grounds  with  Avenue  A  in  the  city  of  Hutchinson.  *  J™' 
of  2435  loads  of  spawl  rock  and  pulverized  stone,  being  the  refuse  of  uie 
Etone-cutting  yard  for  several  years,  was  used  in  this  road. 

I  wish  also  to  report  the  installation  of  a  complete  Bertillon  and  BDg*^- 
print  identification  and  record  department,  which  the  inatitation  hw  long 
needed.

laid  in  Portland  cement,  62  X  27  feet,  consisting  of  five  separate  rooms. 
State  Architect  Chandler  has  expressed  the  opinion  that  no  state  in- 
stitution in  Kansas  has  a  similar  equipment  so  efficient  or  in  the  same 
class  with  ours. 

I  have  also  to  report  that  we  have  erected,  and  connected  with  three 
new  wells,  a  water-treating  plant  with  the  $2000  giv&i  us  by  the  last 
legislatnre  for  this  purpose.  The  guaranteed  capacity  of  this  plant  is 
2000  gallons  per  hour.  Our  boilers  are  supplied  with  this  water.  Our 
laundry  and  kitchen  are  also  connected  with  it.  We  find  the  soft  water 
materially  reduces  the  expense  bill  for  soap  chips  and  washing  powder  and 
other  materials  necesaary  in  using  hard  water,  which  constitutes  the  sup- 
ply in  this  section  of  the  state. 

The  special  appropriation  of  $2000  given  us  by  the  last  legislature  for 
recovering  the  aoministration  building  proved  adequate,  with  a  few  dollars 
to  spare. 

I  wish  also  to  call  your  attention  to  the  general  improvement  of  tha 
institution  yard.  Working  along  the  line  of  the  original  plans,  we  have 
graded  from  the  buildings  in  all  directions  to  the  enclosing  wall.  This 
work  is  not  yet  complete,  hut  is  nearly  ao. 

IRRIGATION. 

Our  experiments  in  irrigation  are  proving  successful.  In  the  season  ' 
of  1911  we  irrigated  twenty  acres  of  potatoes,  two  cuttings  of  a  four- 
t«en-acre  field  of  alfalfa,  ten  acres  of  garden  and  Ave  acres  of  corn.  In 
the  season  of  1912  we  are  irrigating  twenty-five  acres  of  potatoes,  three 
cuttings  of  a  fourteen-acre  alfalfa  field,  one  cutting  of  a  twelve-acre 
alfalfa  field,  and  ten  acres  of  com.  This  work  has  been  largely  experi- 
mental with  us  in  the  construction  of  ditches  as  well  as  in  the  distribution 
of  water.  Our  experience  in  two  seasons  indicates  irrigation  can  be  made 
a  success  under  the  conditions  obtaining  in  this  district.  Our  equipment 
is  a  twenty-five  horsepower  traction  engine  and  an  eight-inch  centrifugal 
pump.  Supplemented  by  the  average  rainfall  of  this  part  of  the  state, 
this  plant  eeetns  to  be  sufficient  for  at  least  150  acres.  We  hope  to  ditch 
properly  and  distribute  water  on  this  number  of  acres  next  year.  Next 
season,  also,  we  plan  to  experiment  with  irrigation  in  a  five-acre  field  of 
wheat  and  in  a  five-acre  field  of  oats. 

POPULATION  AND  HEALTH. 

We  have  had  but  three  deaths  in  the  institution  in  the  bienniura — one 
by  suicide,  in  January,  1911;  one  from  typhoid  fever,  in  May,  1912;  and 
one  from  tuberculosis,  in  June,  1912.  The  case  of  typhoid  fever  was  not 
ctmtracted  within  the  institution.  We  have  had  no  epidemics  of  any  sort 
in  the  past  two  years.  The  general  health  of  our  inmates  is  and  has  been 
unusually  good.  I  wish  at  this  point  to  commend  Doctor  Foltz,  our  insti- 
tution physician,  for  the  kind  and  generous  attitude  he  has  shown  in 
performing  difficult  operations  free  of  charge  upon  the  young  men  in  our 
care.  His  work  has  been  a  factor  in  helping  us  to  turn  out  men,  as  we 
hope,  not  only  better  mentally  and  morally,  but  in  much  better  physical 
condition  than  we  received  them. 

Except  for  the  situation  of  the  tubercular  inmate,  we  have  nothing 
in  the  line  of  sanitary  conditions  to  which  we  call  special  attention  or  in 
which  we  wish  to  make  recommendation  at  this  time.  We  feel  that  no 
one  can  be  in  touch  with  an  institution  of  this  sort  very  long  before 
realizing  the  state  is  not  doing  as  well  as  it  might  with  tubercular  sub- 
jects. The  state  should  not  ctvnpel  the  housing  and  close  association  of 
well  and  hearty  young  men  with  those  who  have  tuberculosis,  some  of 
them  in  advanced  stages.  I  wish  to  call  your  attention,  and  through  you 
the  attention  of  the  governor  and  the  legislature,  to  the  need  of  relief 
from  these  conditions. 

F'or  six  to  eight  years  the  population  of  the  State  Reformitory  has

ranged  from  325  in  summer  to  375  in  winter.  This  ran£%  in  number  wM 
v&ried  in  the  past  biennium  by  reaching  396  in  December,  1911,  and 
holding  an  average  of  380  for  the  one  month.  Exactly  600  new  men  were 
received  in  thia  biennium,  the  first  serial  number  of  the  two  veara  being 
2866  and  the  last  serial  number  of  the  biennium  is  2866.  The  ratio  of 
white  inmates  to  colored  inmates  seem  uniform  at  75  per  cent  white  and 
25  per  cent  colored.  The  Mexican  population  of  this  institution  is  io- 
creasing.  In  the  early  part  of  this  year  we  had  fourteen  inmates  of 
Mexican  birth.     Two  years  ago  we  had  but  six. 

RECREATION. 
One  of  the  most  effective  disciplinary  features  of  the  institution  work 
is  the  Saturday  afternoon  yard  privilege,  commenced  as  a  weriily 
recreation  period  two  years  ago.  In  favorable  weather  the  entire  inmate 
population  is  at  liberty  within  the  enclosing  wall,  with  the  ofQcers  present 
This  privilege  is  not  open  to  any  who  do  not  keep  well  within  the  rules  of 
discipline  of  the  institution.  In  unfavorable  weather,  particularly  in  tbe 
winter  season,  our  recreation  is  taken  in  the  institution  gymnssiuin, 
equipment  for  which  was  given  in  a  special  appropriation  by  the  legis- 
ture  of  1909,  but  which  because  of  the  lack  of  a  suitable  room  was  not 
placed  nor  unpacked  till  the  fall  of  1911.  Opportunity  for  a  reasMiable 
amount  of  atheletic  engagements  and  privileges  materially  reduces  the 
number  of  reports  for  bad  conduct.  The  gymnasium  equipment  is  in- 
stalled in  a  room  50  x  70  feet,  fonnerly  used  as  a  carpenter  shop,  the 
latter  having  been  moved  to  the  manual  training  building  in  the  fsll 
of  1910.  The  greater  part  of  the  gymnasium  work  was  under  the 
direction  of  one  of  our  regular  school  teachers,  a  graduate  of  the  Kansas 
State  Normal,  who  took  these  young  men  in  charge  for  this  purpose  in 
addition  to  his  regular  hours  of  school  work  in  the  class  room. 

IMPROVEMENTS. 

The  third  cell  house,  which  has  been  under  construction  for  some  time, 
should  be  completed  within  the  next  two  years.  Our  institution  is  but 
twenty  years  old;  it  is  comparatively  new  and  modern.  I  know  of  no 
special  improvements  or  additions  which  will  constitute  urgent  needs  dur- 
ing the  next  two  years. 

SALARIES. 

All  our  lower  salaried  officers  are  underpaid.  The  efficiency  of  an  in- 
stitution of  this  sort  is  the  efficiency  of  its  officers.  I  have  made  inquiry 
of  similar  institutions  in  other  states.  I  find  the  scale  of  salaries  hi^r 
in  nearly  all  of  the  other  institutions,  and  have  found  none  lower.  Out 
schedule  of  salaries  has  had  very  little  increase  in  the  past  ten  ye*"- 
The  increased  cost  of  living  makes  this  an  inequitable  proposition.  W 
aiis  connection  I  wish  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  our  facers  draw 
no  sustenance  from  the  state.  I  think  this  situation  ia  the  correct  one, 
but  the  salaries  should  be  high  enough  to  allow  for  this  fact.  We  hsro 
had  thirteen  voluntary  resignations  from  the  official  force  in  twnty-two 
months.  In  addition  to  the  fact  that  a  changing  official  force  decreMM 
the  efficiency  of  our  work,  a  low  schedule  of  salaries  also  means  we  l»« 
opportunity  to  select  the  more  desirable  men  for  the  vacancies.  In  Uus 
connection  I  wish  to  express  my  deep  appreciation  of  Oje  general  spini 
of  loyalty  shown  me  by  the  officers  of  this  institution.  Whatever  aucc^ 
the  institution  may  have  accomplished  in  the  past  two  years  has  been 
largely  due  to  the  uniform  good  spirit  in  which  they  have  carriefl  «" 
what  they  believe  to  be  the  spirit  of  the  managemwit. 

I  wish  also  to  thank  your  honorable  body  for  many  courtesies  and  we 
unusual  way  you  have  left  me  free  in  the  management  of  the  offl<*f* J^ 
the  handling  of  the  inmates  of  this  institution.  1  have  «1«>  »PP"^'S 
very  much  the  business  ability  of  the  Board  as  a  whole,  and  the  way  W^ 
have  strengthened  and  directed  this  very  important  part  of  the  uisu 
tution  work.  Eespectfully  submitted.

The  appropriation  for  the  years  ending  June  SO,  1912,  and  June  30, 191% 
was  only  $6000,  barely  enough  to  keep  up  repairs,  hence  there  bas  been  do 
new  buildings  erected  during  the  year. 

RBUatOUS  SERVICES. 

Church  and  Sabbath  school  are  held  every  Sabbath  morning  sod  church 
«very  Sabbath  evening,  and  prayer  meetinga  every  Thursday  evening,  con-

40  tons  of  prairie  hay  and  about  2O0  torn  of  alfalfa.  We  also  raised  SOscrca 
of  Kafir  com,  which  was  good,  and  20  acres  of  cane.

We  had  for  the  flacal  year  ending  1912  and  191S,  appropriated  by  the  last 
legislature,  $6000  for  new  buildings,  additions,  repairs  and  sidewalks.  We 
have  constructed  no  new  buildings,  and  found  by  the  most  rigid  economy  in 
that  fund  we  did  not  have  sufficient  to  keep  up  the  needed  repairs.  All 
other  funds  have  been  sufficient.  In  my  opinion  we  do  not  need  any  addi- 
tional buildings,  excepting  an  addition  to  the  hospital,  or  another  hospital. 
Both  of  our  hospitals  are  full  to  their  utmost  capacity  at  the  present  time, 
and  aeveral  who  are  not  in  the  hospital  ought  to  be  there,  but  are  not  there 
from  the  fact  that  we  have  not  room.  If  the  sick  are  cared  for  as  they 
■hould  be  we  must  have  additional  room  in  the  hospital.  Hy  estimate  of 
ytO.OOO  for  the  first  year  for  new  buildings,  addidons,  repairs  and  sidewalks, 
Knd  $5000  for  the  second  year,  is  low  and  reasonable,  and  we  should  have 
the  full  amount  of  the  estimate  in  order  to  care  for  the  sick  as  they  should 
be  cared  for. 

We  should  have  $5000  each  year  for  employing  nurses,  in  order  to  cars 
for  the  sick  as  they  should  be  cared  for.    We  have  not  exceeded  the  appro-

REPORT  OP  BIOKERDYKE  HOME. 


Ellsworth,  Kan.,  Jaly  16,  1912. 
Tb  the  Honorable  Board  of  Managers: 

Gbntlghbn— I  herewith  submit  the  report  of  the  Mother  Bickerdyk« 
Home  for  the  year  ending  June  80,  1912. 

Heretofore  religious  service  has  been  held  at  the  barracks  and  hospital, 
uid  for  the  year  last  past  by  the  pastor  of  the  M.  E.  Church  at  Ellsworth. 
A  chapel  has  just  been  finished,  central  between  the  hospital  and  barracks, 
at  a  cost  of  2872.66.  Sunday  services  are  well  attended,  and  the  pastors  of 
the  Hethodiat  Episcopal,  Baptist,  and  Presbyterian  churches  at  Ellsworth, 
each  take  their  turn  in  holding  services  here.  A  new  gRsoline  engine  has 
been  put  in  at  the  wells,  at  a  cost  of  $101.80.  Some  few  repairs  have  been 
made  at  the  barracks,  hospital,  and  some  of  the  cottages,  all  of  which  are 
now  in  good  repair.  We  still  have  the  old  farm  wagons,  surrey  and  spring 
wagon,  and  some  farm  tools  that  have  given  service  here  since  the  Home 
started.  The  live  stock  consists  of  4  head  of  horses.  9  cows,  1  herd  animal 
8  calves,  65  hogs  and  pigs,  and  160  hens.  There  are  about  60  acres  of  good 
wheat  now  in  stack  and  6  acres  of  medium-grade  oats  in  shock.  Two  cut- 
tings of  alfalfa  has  been  put  in  the  barn.  It  was  a  very  light  crop.  We 
had  a  fair  garden,  also  have  a  small  patch  of  potatoes  and  20  acres  of  com, 
looking  fine.  We  exchanged  two  cows  ($56),  four  calves  (112),  three  hoga 
($65.17)— total,  $lS2.17-for  flour  and  feed ;  sold  three  calves  for  $7,  and  ' 
old  engine  at  the  wells  for  $30— total,  $37~in  cash,  for  which  I  have  treas- 
urer's receipt.  Daring  the  year  6  have  died,  21  were  discharged,  34  admit- 
ted, and  SS  are  now  in  the  Home.

LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL. 

Office  of  the  Tax  Commission, 
Statehouse,  Topeka,  October  16, 1912. 
Hon.  W.  R.  Stubbs,  Governor: 

Sis — As  required  by  the  statute,  the  Tax  Commission  pre- 
sents herewith  its  report. containing  the  official  proceedings 
of  the  Commission  for  the  biennial  [leriod  extending  from 
October  16,  1910,  to  October  16,  1912.  The  proceedings  for 
each  of  the  years,  October  16,  1910,  to  October  16,  1911, 
and  October  16,  1911,  to  October  16,  1912,  are  presented 
separately. 

By  direction  of  the  Printing  Committee,  •  the  report  is 
abridged  considerably  when  compared  with  preceding  re- 
ports. Not  near  all  of  the  official  acts  of  the  Commission  are 
included.  If  all  of  the  proceedings  for  the  two  years  were  con- 
tained in  the  report  the  volume  would  be  much  larger.  Only 
such  matter  has  been  presented  as  seemed  indispensable  to 
the  proper  information  of  the  public  concerning  the  work  of 
the  Commission  and  of  the  state  boards  of  which  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Commission  are  ex  officio  members. 

In  accordance  with  law,  another  report  will  shortly  be  made 
by  the  Commission  to  the  legislature,  it  being  the  requirement 
of  the  law  that  the  Commission  shall  report  to  the  legislature  at 
the  opening  of  the  legislative  session.  All  discussion  as  to 
the  operation  of  the  present  law  of  assessment  and  taxation 
and  as  to  needed  amendments  to  the  law  is  reserved  for  the 
report  to  the  legislature.    Very  respectfully, 

SAM*L  T.  HOWE, 
B.  F.  MILTON, 
J.  A.  BURNETTE, 

Commissioners.

Board  of  EqiiaIizftti<Hi  of  Smith  countjr  in  refaaing^  to  Btrike  from  the  tax 
rollB  of  that  county  a  certain  real  estate  contract  set  out  and  described 
in  the  appeal,  the  appeUant  claiming  that  said  contract  was  and  is  not 
assessable  under  the  law.  This  presents  to  this  Board  a  purely  l^tal 
question.  Sitting,  as  this  Board  is,  as  a  Board  of  Equalization,  it  can 
aaXy  hear  and  determine  questions  of  unequal  assessment.  It  has  no 
power  to  determine  what  is  and  what  is  not  assessable  under  the  law. 
If  the  property  of  the  appellant  has  been  impriqterly  placed  upon  the 
tax  roll  of  Smith  county  by  the  deputy  assessor,  his  remedy  is  in  the 
courts  and  not  before  this  Board.  As  has  been  repeatedly  held  by  it, 
neither  the  Tax  Commission  nor  the  State  Board  of  Equalisation  has 
any  Jurisdiction  of  the  question  invQlved:    it  is  therefore 

OttDDtED,  That  the  said  application  be  and  the  same  is  denied.

It  appearing  from  the  evidence  introduced  by  the  parties  to  this  appeal 
that  ttie  question  presented  does  not  relate  to  the  equalisation  of  the 
aEsessment  of  the  contract  in  question,  but  goes  to  the  legality  of  such 
assessment:    it  is  therefore  considered  and 

Ordered,  That  the  State  Board  of  Equalization  is  without  Jurisdiction 
to  determine  the  said  question,  and  that  therefore  the  appeal  should  be 
and  the  same  is  hereby  dismissed.

Appellant  appeared  by  L.  C.  Uhl,  attorney. 

Appellee  appeared  by  W.  E.  Robs,  county  assessor. 

Now  on  this  day  this  matter  comes  on  for  determination,  the  evidence 
having  been  heretofore  introduced.  This  is  an  appeal  from  the  Board 
of  Elqualization  of  Smith  county  from  the  action  of  said  Board  in 
equalizing  the  assessment  theretofore  made  by  the  deputy  assessor  on 
a  set  of  abstract  books  owned  by  the  appellants.  It  appears  from  the 
evidence  that  the  hooka  were  assessed  at  $6000,  but  on  a  hearing  before 
the  County  Board  of  Equalization  this  amount  was  reduced  to  f4000,  and 
from  that  order  an  appeal  was  taken  to  this  Board. 

After  carefully  considering  all  the  evidence  and  consulting  the  au- 
thorities, the  Board  finds: 

Firtt,  That  the  set  of  abstract  books  in  question  were  and  are  assess- 
able as  personal  property,  and 

Stcond,  That  the  amount  as  equalized  (|4000)  by  the  Board  of 
Equalization  of  Smith  county  is  not  excessive.

APPEAL  No.  7. 
Alexander  H.  Kerr,  Appellant, 

The  County  Board  of  Equalization  of  Wilson  County,  Kansas,  Appellee. 

Appellant  appeared  by  F.  T.  Cheetham,  attorney. 

Appellee  appeared  by  W.  H.  Biay,  county  aaaesaor. 

This  is  an  appeal  from  the  action  of  the  Board  of  EqualizaCicn  of 
Wilson  county.  The  appellant  claims  that  its  real  estate  has  be«D  as- 
sessed at  an  excessive  flfture  and  that  its  personal  property  assessmut 
ahould  be  lowered.  Under  and  by  virtue  of  a  stipulation  filed  with  tim 
Board  by  the  appellant  and  the  county  assessor  of  Wilson  coun^,  the 
real-estate  assessment  is  equalized  and  reduced  from  360,000,  as  retuned 
by  the  SBBCBSor,  to  $35,000. 

There  being  no  evidence  before  the  Board  showing  that  the  ssaets- 
ment  of  $27,000  on  the  personal  property  of  the  appellant  was  or  i^ 
excessive,  the  appeal  as  to  the  personal  property  is  dismlsed.  It  if 
therefore 

OaDBHUD,  That  the  appeal  as  to  the  real  estate  be  and  the  same  ii 
sustained  and  the  assessment  of  the  same  is  equalized  and  fixed  st 
$35,000.    And  it  is  further 

Ordered,  That  said  appeal  so  far  as  it  affects  the  personsl  proper^ 
of  appellant  be  and  the  same  is  hereby  dismissed. 

APPEAL  No.  8. 
Mennonite  Chartte,  Appellant, 

The  County  Board  of  Equalizatim  of  Harvey  County,  Kansas,  Appellee. 

At  the  time  set  for  the  hearing  neither  par^  appeared,  and  the  sppew 
coming  on  for  consideration  upon  the  evidence  furnished  by  the  filei  "f 
the  case,  it  appears  from  the  said  evidence  that  instead  of  an  sppeu 
from  any  action  of  the  County  Board  of  Equalization,  there  is  presenttd 
a  petition  to  the  State  Board  of  Equalization  to  order  stricken  from  tfae 
tax  roll  of  said  county  of  Harvey  the  property  owned  by  the  "Mennonite 
Charite,"  a  corporation  organized  under  the  laws  of  Kansas,  said  propwQ 
being  described  as  lots  9,  10  and  11,  block  18,  city  of  Halstesd,  Ku>" 
for  the  reason  that  the  said  corporation  is  organized  for  chsriUWe 
purposes  and  as  such  its  property  should  be  exempted  fmn  taxation- 

The  question  raised  relates  only  to  the  legality  of  the  assessment  BM 
taxation  of  the  property  of  the  aforesaid  corporation,  and  has  nothing 
to  do  with  the  equalization  of  the  asEessment  of  property.  The  State 
Board  of  Equalization  has  no  jurisdiction  to  determine  legal  questKdUi 
its  power  being  conlined  to  the  equalization  of  assessments,  and  u'

APPEAL  No.  9. 
The  Smith  Center  Lumber  Company,  Appellant, 

vs. 
The  County  Board  of  Equalization  of  the  County  of  Smith,  Appellee. 

In  this  appeal  it  ie  shown  by  the  evidence  that  the  property  of  the 
appellant,  which  consisted  of  a  stock  of  lumber  in  Smith  Center,  Kan., 
was  listed  by  appellant  in  the  snm  of  $11,145,  at  which  figure  it  was 
assesaed  by  the  deputy  assessor; 

That  the  County  Board  of  Equalization,  at  its  re^lar  session  as 
such  Board,  in  its  equalization  made  at  that  time  of  all  the  property  of 
the  county  of  Smith,  increased  the  assessment  of  the  said  personal  prop- 
erty to  the  extent  of  ten  per  cent  of  the  assessed  value  and  fixed  the 
equalised  value  in  the  sum  of  $12,260. 

The  conclusion  of  the  State  Board  is  that  there  has  been  no  evidence 
showing  that  the  action  of  appellee  was  wrongful  or  in  any  way  unjust 
to  the  appellant,  and  that  said  equalized  assessment  as  fixed  by  appellee 
should  be  and  remain  undisturbed.    It  is  therefore 

OBDBBed,  That  the  said  appeal  be  and  hereby  is  dismissed  and  the 
relief  asked  In  said  appeal  denied.

Appellant  appeared  by  L.  C.  Uhl,  attorney. 

Appellee  appeared  by  W.  E.  Ross,  county  assessor. 

Now  on  the  above-named  date  the  parties  appeared  and  presented 
their  evidence.  Upon  considering  the  evidence  before  It,  the  State 
Board  of  Equalization  finds  that  such  evidence  does  not  make  out  a 
case  for  appellant  and  does  not  warrant  and  authorize  a  change  in  the 
assessment  of  appellant's  property  as  equalized  by  the  Board  of  Equali- 
zation of  Smith  county.    It  is  therefore 

Ordered,  That  the  application  of  the  appellant  for  a  reduction  of  the 
assessment  be  denied.

1911. 

At  the  hearing  this  dajr  had,  L.  H.  Appleby,  secretary  of  the  aboye- 
named  company,  showed  by  hia  testimony  that  the  returns  of  the  com- 
pany ae  made  for  assessment  purposes  for  the  year  1911  gave  the  State 
Board  erroneous  information,  upon  which  information  the  assessment 
by  the  State  Board  was  made,  and  after  duly  considering-  facts  newly 
submitted,  it  is  concluded  that  the  assessment  of  said  property,  as  fixed 
by  the  State  Board  in  the  sum  of  $10,603,  was  excessive  to  the  extent  of 
$1995.57,  and  it  is  herein  determined  that  the  assessed  value  of  the 
property  of  said  company  should  be  and  hereby  is  fixed  and  equalized 
in  the  sum  of  ?8507.43. 

The  county  clerks  of  the  counties  of  Jewell  and  Republic  are  hereby 
directed  to  reduce  by  19  per  cent  the  proportionate  amounts  of  the  total 
original  assessment  of  the  property  in  the  sum  of  $10,503,  as  assigned 
to  the  several  taxing  districts  and  heretofore  certified  by  the  secretary 
of  this  Board,  in  order  that  the  value  assigned  to  each  taxing  district 
may  be  reduced  proportionately.

county  clerks.

dence furnished  as  aforesaid,  it  is  considered  that  said  equalized  assess- 
ment of  the  said  tracts  of  real  estate  as  above  set  forth  respectively  is

H.  E.  Britton,  by  Wiley  Britton,  Agent,  Appellant, 

The    County    Board    of    Equalization    of    Wyandotte    County,    Kansas, 

Appellee.

cmnmissioner ;  and  L.  B.  Holcomb,  deputy  clerk;  C.  W.  Scheller,  deputy 
assessor. 

This  is  an  appeal  from  the  Board  of  Equalization  of  Wyandotte 
county,  on  the  part  of  M.  E.  Britton,  from  an  order  of  said  Board 
equalizing  the  assessment  on  the  following-described  real  estate,  situated 
in  the  city  of  Kansas  City,  Kan.,  to  wit;

The  first-named  tract  had  been  assessed  by  the  deputy  assessor  at 
$6400,  and  Grand  View  Park  tract  at  S3000,  but  on  a  hearing  before  the 
Board  of  Equalization  the  assessment  on  the  flrst-named  tract  was 
reduced  to  {5200,    From  this  order  M.  E.  Britton  appeals  to  this  Board. 

After  hearing  the  evidence  of  the  appellant  and  of  the  taxing  officers 
of  Wyandotte  county,  the  Commi^aion  is  of  the  opinion  that  said  assess- 
ment, as  equalized,  is  just  and  should  not  be  disturbed  by  this  Board. 
It  is  therefore 

Ordered,  That  the  said  appeal  of  M.  E.  Britton  be  and  the  same  is 
hereby  dismissed. 

The  secretary  will  transmit  a  certified  copy  of  this  order  to  the  said 
county  clerk.

APPEAL  No.  2. 
The  Atchison  &  Eastern  Bridge  Company,  Appellant, 

The  County  Board  of  Equalization  of  Atchison  County,  Appellee. 

Now  on  this  29th  day  of  July,  1911,  this  matter  cornea  on  for  deter- 
mination by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  the  evidence  and  argu- 
ment of  said  appeal  having  been  heard  by  said  Board  of  Equalization  on 
the  14th  of  July,  1911. 

It  appears  from  the  evidence  that  the  Atchison  &  Eastern  Bridge 
Company  owns  and  operates  a  bridge  across  the  Missouri  river  st 
Atchison,  Kan.,  and  that  said  company  returned  its  property  for  the  year 
1911  to  the  deputy  aesessor  at  Atchison,  valued  at  f341,000.  The  depaty 
assessor  of  the  city  of  Atchison  increased  this  valuation  from  {341,000  to 
$700,000  for  the  year  1911.  The  bridge  company  appeared  before  the 
Board  of  Equalization  of  Atchison  county  and  requested  that  ssid 
assessment  be  reduced  from  {700,000  to  (341, 000  as  returned  by  it  to 
the  deputy  assessor.  The  Board  of  Equalization  of  Atchison  county  re- 
fused said  application  and  equalized  and  fixed  the  asseasmait  of  said 
bridge  company's  property  at  $700,000,  and  from  this  action  on  the  part 
of  the  Board  of  Equalization  of  Atchison  county  the  bridge  compwy 
appealed. 

The  contention  of  the  appellant  is  that  the  valuation  of  its  property 
should  be  equalized  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization  at  $341,000,  u 
returned  by  it  to  the  deputy  assessor  of  the  city  of  Atchison. 

There  is  also  a  contention  between  the  appellant  and  the  appellee  u 
to  the  true  boundary  line  between  the  states  of  Kansas  and  Hissoori 
where  the  bridge  in  question  crosses  the  Missouri  river.  The  sppellMit 
strenuously  insists  that  the  boundary  line  between  the  said  states  is  the 
center  of  the  main  channel  of  the  Missouri  river,  and  that  said  channd 
now  flows,  and  has  for  over  thirty  years,  under  .the  east  end  of'the  dia*- 
span  of  said  bridge,  which  is  attout  one-third  of  the  Imgth  of  the  B*id 
bridge  from  the  Kansas  shore;  while,  on  the  other  band,  the  aathoTitie> 
of  Atchidon  county  with  equal  vehemence  insist  that  the  main  chunel

For  Year  ending  October  16,  1911.  21 

of  said  river  flows  near  the  Missouri  shore,  or  about  two-thirds  of  the 
len^h  of  the  bridge  from  the  Kansas  shore,  that  two-thirds  of  the  bridge 
structure  is  in  the  state  of  Kansas  and  should  be  assessed  in  the  state  of 
Kansas. 

The  appellant  produced  before  the  Board  affidavits  of  a  large  number 
of  residents  of  East  Atchison,  Mo.,  and  of  Atchison,  Kan.,  tending  to 
prove  that  the  main  channel  of  the  Missouri  river  is  now  and  always  has 
been  near'  the  west  shore  of  said  river,  or  under  the  east  end  of  the  draw- 
span  of  said  bridge;  while,  <hi  the  other  hand,  the  appellee  produced 
practically  an  equal  number  of  affidavits  of  the  citizens  of  Atchison,  Kan., 
tending  to  prove  that  the  main  channel  of  the  said  river,  and  hence  the 
boundary  line  between  the  two  states,  is  under  the  east  end  of  said 
bridge,  or  about  two-thirds  of  the  length  of  said  bridge  from  the  Kansas 

It  is  also  in  evidence  before  the  Board  that  in  February,  1908,  the 
Secretary  of  War  of  the  United  States,  after  a  public  hearing  as  to  the 
rectifying  of  the  conditions  of  the  channel  of  the  river  at  said  bridge, 
directed  the  bridge  company  to  either  maintain  the  channel  under  the 
present  draw-span  by  dredging,  or  to  provide  passage  way  under  the  east 
portion  of  the  bridge  by  an  additional  draw-span.  Later  a  survey  of  the 
river  at  Atchison  was  made  by  an  eigineer  of  the  United  States  army, 
and  the  report  of  the  survey  was  made  under  date  of  January  17,  1910, 
recommending  that  dikes  be  built  to  aid  in  providing  a  deeper  channel 
and  straightening  the  channel  for  flood  waters  and  in  navigation  of  said 
river  above  and  through  the  bridge.  February  4,  1910,  the  Board  of 
Engineers  on  Rivers  and  Harbors  substantially  approved  the  aforesaid 
report  and  concurred  in  the  recommendations  thereof;  that  the  expense 
of  the  necessary  work  should  be  shared  by  the  owners  of  the  bridge;  and 
further  recommended  that  if  the  other  interests  should  be  unwilling  to 
furnish  one-half  of  the  estimated  cost  of  the  work,  steps  should  be  taken 
lo  have  the  bridge  altered  so  as  to  provide  for  safe  navigation  through  it. 

But  it  also  appears  that  nothing  further  has  been  done,  and  that  the 
government  of  the  United  States  has  not  insisted  upon  any  alteration  of 
the  bridge  or  any  additional  draw-spans  to  be  made. 

From  all  this  testimony  presented  by  the  parties  to  this  action,  the 
Board  is  unable  to  determine  the  exact  location  of  the  main  channel  of 
said  river,  fixing  the  boundary  line  between  the  two  states  of  Kansas  and 
Missouri,  as  it  appears  that  said  channel  has  been  unstable  and  changing 
for  several  years  last  past. 

It  further  appears  from  the  evidence  that  the  fair  and  reasonable 
value  of  the  property  of  appellant,  including  its  bridge,  its  approaches 
and  the  franchises  of  the  said  company,  is  $1,200,000,  It  also  appears 
from  the  evidence  that  the  authorities  of  the  state  of  Missouri  have 
assessed  that  portion  of  the  bridge  lying  in  the  state  of  Missouri  at  a 
valuation  approximating  $450,000,  which  leaves  the  total  value  of  the 
property  to  be  assessed  in  Kansas  of  the  sum  of  ?760,000,  or  $50,000  more 
than  the  equalized  asseaament  fixed  by  the.  authorities  of  Atchison  county. 

For  the  purpose  of  more  accurately  determining  the  matter  at  issue,  if 
possible,  the  Board  visited  the  city  of  Atchison  and  examined  the  bridge

and  its  aarroundings,  but  on  account  of  the  high  water  little  additkoU 
information  was  obtained. 

After  due  consideration  of  all  the  evidence  presented  and  of  all  the 
information  that  could  be  obtained  by  the  Board,  it  is  not  shown  to  tht 
satisfaction  of  the  Board  that  the  asseBsment  of  appellant's  property  ii 
excessive.  The  taxing  authorities  of  Atchison  county  are  on  the  groimd 
and  are  presumed  to  be  familiar  with  conditions  there  more  than  tM: 
Board,  and  unleas  the  appellant  has  shown  by  a  fair  preponderance  of 
the  evidence  that  the  authorities  of  Atchison  county  have  unjustl;  u- 
sessed  the  property  of  appellant,  the  State  Board  of  EqualizatioD  shaald 
not  interfere.     Having  failed  to  ho  satisfy  the  Board,  it  is 

ORDOt^),  That  the  relief  prayed  for  be  denied,  and  that  the  assesi- 
ment  of  the  property  of  appellant  as  equalized  and  fixed  by  the  BoaTd  of 
Equalization  of  Atchison  county  be  and  the  same  is  sustained. 

The  secretary  will  transmit  certified  copies  of  this  order  to  the  comity 
clerk  of  said  county  of  Atchison  and  to  all  interested  parties. 

Now,  on  this  29th  day  of  July,  1911,  the  State  Board  of 
Equalization,  having  had  under  consideration  the  equalization 
of  the  assessment  of  the  property  of  the  state,  and  having 
modified,  according  to  orders  heretofore  made  and  recorded, 
values  as  returned  by  county  clerks,  does  now  hereby  order 
further  as  follows: 

That  an  increase  of  10  per  cent  be  made  in  the  assessed 
values  of  all  city  real  estate  in  the  county  of  Wichita  as  re- 
turned by  the  county  clerk. 

The  equalization  of  the  assessment  of  all  property  in  the 
state  having  been  completed  in  accordance  with  the  orders 
heretofore  made,  the  equalized  values  for  the  counties,  re- 
spectively, are  found  to  be  as  they  appear  in  the  statement  fol- 
lowing; and  it  is  hereby  further 

Ordered,  That  upon  each  dollar  of  the  total  equalized  value, 
as  shown  in  said  statement,  there  be  and  hereby  is  levied  a  tax 
of  one  and  one-fifth  mills,  which  levy  is  hereby  made  the  lawful 
levy  for  state  tax  purposes  for  the  tax  year  1911.  The  taxes 
so  ordered  and  levied  also  appear  in  the  statement  following,

This  order  is  made  with  the  reservation  to  the  Board  of  the 

power  to  make  such  changes  as  may  become  necessary  to 

correct  errors  which  may  be  discovered  in  the  returns  here- 
tofore made  by  the  county  clerks  to  the  Tax  Commission,  or 
such  other  changes  as  may  aeem  to  be  expedient  for  the  making 
of  a  fair  and  equitable  equalization  among  the  counties  of  the 
state  and  among  the  taxpayers  of  any  particular  taxing  dis- 
trict. 

The  secretary  will  certify  to  the  county  clerks  of  the  state  the 
amount  of  the  equalized  value  and  of  the  state  tax  charged  for 

each  county  respectively,  and  in  his  certificates  will  show  ali

the  changes  that  have  been  made  by  the  State  Board  of  Equali- 
zation in  the  values  as  returned  by  the  county  clerks. 

The  secretary  will  also  transmit  to  the  auditor  of  state  and 
the  treasurer  of  state  a  certified  copy  of  this  order. 

Proceedings  had  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization  in  regu- 
lar session  at  its  office  in  the  statehouse,  in  Topeka,  on 
August  7,  1911.  Present:  Sam'l  T.  Howe,  B.  F.  Milton,  J.  A. 
Bumette. 

APPEAL  No.  21. 
I.  D.  Young,  Appellant, 

«», 
The  County  Board  of  Equalization  of  Mitchell  County,  Kansas,  Appellee, 

Now  on  this  7th  day  of  August,  1911,  this  matter  comes  on  to  be 
heard,  neither  party  appearing  in  person  or  by  attorney. 

This  purports  to  be  an  appeal  from  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Equali- 
zation of  Mitchell  county  in  refusing  to  strike  from  the  tax  roll  of  the 
said  county  a  certain  real-estate  contract  which  the  deputy  assessor  of 
the  city  of  Beloit,  Mitchell  county,  had  added  to  the  personal  assessment 
statement  of  the  app«llBnt  after  the  personal  property  statement  had 
been  furnished  to  said  deputy  assessor  by  said  appellant. 

This  is  not  a  question  of  equalization,  but  is  a  question  of  the  taxa- 
bility of  the  property  in  question,  and  over  matters  of  this  kind  we  are 
of  the  opinion  that  the  State  Board  of  Equalisation  has  no  jurisdiction. 
The  remedy  of  the  appellant  is  in  the  courts  and  not  before  this  Board. 
It  is  therefore 

Ordered,  On  this  Tth  day  of  August,  1911,  that  the  relief  prayed  for  bl- 
and the  same  is  denied,  and  said  proceeding  is  dismissed.

This  order  is  made  with  the  reservation  to  this  Board  of 

the  power  to  malte  such  changes  as  may  become  necessary  to

For  Year  ending  October  16,  1912.  105 

changes  as  may  to  the  Board  seem  to  be  expedient  for  the 
making  of  a  fair  and  equitable  equalization  among  the  coun- 
ties of  the  state  and  among  the  taxpayers  of  any  particular 
taxing  district. 

The  secretary  is  hereby  directed  to  transmit  to  the  counties 
respectively  the  usual  certificate  showing  the  equalized  assess- 
ment value  and  the  tax  charged  against  any  such  county.

Jurisdiction  of  Public  Utilities  Commission. 


The  Railroad  Commission  had  power  and  authority  to  regu- 
late the  steam  railroads,  the  express  and  sleeping  car  com- 
panies and  inter-county  electric  lines. 

The  Public  Utilities  law  confers  such  power  upon  this  Com- 
mission, and  in  addition,  jurisdiction  over  all  telegraph  and 
telephone  companies,  pipe-line  companies,  street  railways,  din- 
ing-car companies,  and  water,  light,  heat  and  power  com- 
panies, except  municipally  owned  utilities,  mutual  telephone 
companies,  and  those  public  utilities  and  common  carriers  sit- 
uated and  operated  wholly  or  principally  within  any  city  w" 
principally  operated  for  the  benefit  of  such  city  or  its  people.

Report  of  Public  Utilities  Commission. 


The  public  utilities  law,  enacted  by  the  legislature  of  1911, 
became  effective  May  22,  1911.  Provision  was  made  that  the 
Board  of  Railroad  Commissioners  should  constitute  the  Public 
Utilities  Commission,  and  the  three  railroad  commissioners 
chosen  at  the  regular  election  in  1910  should  retain  their  re- 
spective offices  for  the  terms  for  which  they  were  elected  and 
until  their  successors  have  been  appointed  and  qualified.  The 
commiasioners  elected  in  1910  were  George  Plumb,  of  Em- 
poria, Frank  J.  Ryan,  of  Leavenworth,  and  J.  T.  White,  of  Ada. 

The  Commission  was  organized  on  May  22,  1911,  with 
George  Plumb  as  chairman  and  E.  H.  Hogueland  as  secretarj', 
they  having  served  in  the  same  capacity  since  the  organization 
of  the  Railroad  Commission  on  January  9,  1911, 

W,  G.  Grice  was  appointed  secretary  on  June  15,  1912, 
to  succeed  Mr.  Hogueland,  who  had  been  promoted  to  the 
position  of  rate  clerk. 

The  work  of  the  office  has  been  completely  reorganized 
and  modem  methods  of  filing  and  keeping  records  adopted. 
Separate  typewritten  records  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Com- 
mission and  the  orders  promulgated  are  kept,  the  loose-leaf 
system  having  been  inaugurated;  likewise  complete  card' in- 
dices of  all  cases  filed  and  orders  issued  are  in  use. 
RAILROAD  COMMISSION. 

The  Railroad  Commission  was  organized  on  January  9, 
1911,  with  George  Plumb  as  chairman  and  E.  H.  Hogueland 
as  secretary. 

During  the  period  from  January  9,  1911,  to  May  22,  1911, 
when  the  powers,  duties,  authority  and  jurisdiction  of  the 
Board  of  Railroad  Commissioners  were  impoaed  upon  the 
Public  Utilities  Commission,  71  cases,  involving  freight  and 
passenger  service,  the  establishment  of  agents,  the  failure  to 
bulletin  trains  and  complaints  of  similar  character  were  filed 
and  adjusted.  Four  applications  for  permission  to  issue 
securities  were  filed.  The  M.  K.  &  T.  Railway  Company  was 
given  authority  to  issue  $17,131,000  of  consolidated  mortgage 
bonds.  The  same  company  also  asked  permission  to  issue 
additional  securities.  After  hearing  and  investigation,  certifi- 
cate was  granted  authorizing  the  issuance  of  $24,000,000  of 
bonds. 

The  Missouri  &  Kansas  Interurban  Railway  Company  was

given  permisBion  to  issue  $300,000  of  bonds,  and  the  Wichita 
Terminal  Company  was  authorized  to  issue  |100,000  of  stock 
and  $2,500,000  of  bonds  for  the  purpose  of  building  a  union 
station  and  terminal  facilities  in  the  city  of  Wichita. 

Upon  the  order  of  the  Commisaion,  the  Kansas  lines  were 
required  to  make  the  minimum-weight  rules  on  carload  ship- 
ments of  grain,  hay  and  lumber  conform  with  the  interstate 
rules.  The  carriers  were  also  required  to  reestablish  the 
"return-goods  rule,"  which  had  been  canceled  without  the  con- 
sent of  the  Commission. 

CASES  BEFORE  THE  PUBLIC  UTILITIES  COMMISSION. 

There  have  been  filed  with  the  Commission  in  the  period 
from  May  22,  1911,  to  and  including  November  30,  1912, 
400  cases  involving  the  rates,  services,  facilities  and  securities 
of  the  common  carriers  and  public  utilities  of  the  state. 
Of  these  cases  158  were  complaints  against  railroad  companies 
and  51  against  telephone  companies;  56  involved  telephones 
in  depots ;  52  cases  concerned  securily  issues ;  15  were  appli- 
cations for  certificates  of  public  convenience  and  necessity; 
39  involved  consolidations  and  sales;  5  complaints  were 
against  express  companies,  5  against  gas  companies ;  4  were 
appeals  from  ordinances  enacted  by  cities,  and  the  remaining 
16  were  of  a  miscellaneous  character.  In  addition  to  these, 
136  applications  by  carriers  and  57  applications  by  the  utilities 
to  readjust  rates,  rules  and  regulations  have  been  filed  and 
considered  by  the  Commission.  Of  the  utility  applications. 
50  were  filed  by  telephone  companies,  6  by  gas  companies,  and 
1  by  a  telegraph  company.  Forty-three  hearings  have  been 
held  throughout  the  state  and  281  in  Topeka.  Brief  atistracts 
of  the  different  proceedings  appear  in  another  part  of  this 
report. 

STOCK  AND  BOND  AUTHORIZATIONS. 
During  the  past  eighteen  months  the  Commission  has  passe^l 
upon  52  applications  filed  by  the  common  carriers  and  public 
utilities  seeking  authority  to  issue  stock,  bonds,  notes  and 
other  securities ;  22  of  these  were  by  telephone  companies,  18 
by  railway  companies,  9  by  gas  and  electric  companies,  and 
1  by  a  water  company;  2  were  withdrawn.  The  total  stock 
issues  authorized  during  that  time  amount  to  $11,063,050; 
bonds,  $102,200,000;  notes,  $22,971,800;  total,  $136,234,850.

PUBLIC  CONVENIENCE   AND   NECESSITY   APPLICATIONS. 

Under  the  provision  of  section  31  of  chapter  238  of  the 
Session  Laws  of  1911,  no  new  public  utility  or  common  carrier 
can  transact  business  in  the  state  without  the  consent  of  the 
Public  Utilities  Commission.  Fifteen  applications  under  this 
section  have  been  considered  by  the  Commission,  and  certifi- 
cates have  been  granted  to  6  new  railroad  companies,  4  tele- 
phone companies,  and  1  electric-light  company.  One  tele- 
phone company  has  been  denied  the  right  to  do  business  on 
account  of  a  competing  company  serving  the  same  community. 
Two  electric-light  companies  have  been  denied  the  right  to  do 
business  as  public  utilities.  The  first  application  was  by  F.  E. 
Workman,  of  Parsons,  Kan.,  and  the  second  by  the  Citizens 
Electric  Light  Company,  of  Fort  Scott  In  each  case  an  ex- 
isting electric-light  company  was  furnishing  reasonably  ad- 
equate service,  and  the  only  controversy  was  over  the  rates  to 
be  paid — a  matter  wholly  within  the  control  of  the  local  and 
state  authorities.  The  application  of  the  Hutchinson  Gas 
Company  to  do  the  business  of  a  public  utility  in  Hutchinson 
was  withdrawn. 

CONSOLIDATIONS  AND  SAUS  AUTHORIZBD. 

The  law  provides  that  no  common  carrier  or  public  utility 
shall  purchase  or  acquire  any  part  of  the  stock,  bonds  or  other 
forms  of  indebtedness  of  any  competing  company  or  assign 
any  franchise  or  right  thereunder  without  the  consent  of  the 
Commission. 

The  Commission  has  considered  and  approved  consolidations 
and  sales  of  telephone  companies  in  32  different  cases.  It  haa 
also  approved  the  sate  of  three  gas  and  electric-light  companies. 
UNIFORM  SYSTEM  OP  ACCOUNTS  FOR  TELEPHONE  COMPANIES. 

The  public  utilities  law  confers  upon  the  Commission  power 
and  authority  to  regulate  telephone  companies.  Investigation 
shows  that  there  are  about  600  telephone  companies  operating 
in  the  state.  In  addition  to  these  are  probably  1000  line  com- 
panies that  have  no  switchboard.  It  was  found  that  a  uniform 
system  of  accounting  for  the  telephone  companies  was  neces- 
sary to  the  proper  regulation  of  such  public  utilities  and  the 
rendition  of  reports  required  by  law.  The  Commission  there- 
fore adopted  a  uniform  classification  of  accounts,  which  has 
been  issued  as  a  recommendation  rather  than  as  an  order,  to 
secure  from  the  companies  an  intelligent  report.  The  repoi-t 
form  adopted  by  the  Commission  provides  for  eleven  primary 
accounts,  with  a  number  of  subdivisions.  The  companies  have 
been  divided  into  two  classes.  Class  A  consists  of  those  com- 
panies whose  total  assets  are  $50,000  or  over;  class  B,  those 
companies  whose  assets  are  less  than  $50,000. 

A  great  many  companies  have  adopted  the  Co"  .lission's

system  of  accounts  and  are  well  pleased  with  it.  The  work 
has  been  greatly  augmented  by  the  hearty  cooperation  of  the 
Independent  Telephone  Association,  through  its  secretary,  Mr. 
F.  B.  MacKinnon.  While  all  of  the  telephone  companies  op- 
erating in  the  state  have  not  adopted  the  uniform  classilica- 
tion  of  accounts,  it  is  hoped  by  the  Commission  that  they  will 
do  so  beginning  with  the  year  1913.  Unfortunately,  very  few 
of  the  companies  have  kept  their  records  in  a  way  that  wouW 
reflect  the  actual  operating  conditions.  The  Commission  has 
experienced  considerable  difficulty  in  obtaining  complete  re- 
ports from  the  different  companies,  due  to  the  fact  that  no 
uniform  accounting  methods  exist.  The  telephone  companies 
must  prepare  to  adopt  a  uniform  classification. 

The  Interstate  Commerce  Commission,  having  recently  ac- 
quired jurisdiction  over  the  interstate  telephone  companies, 
has  been  working  on  a  uniform  classification  of  accounts.  The 
present  plan  of  that  Commission  is  to  classify  the  companies 
into  four  different  classes.  Class  A  companies  are  those  com* 
panies  whose  average  annual  operating  revenues  exceed 
$250,000;  class  B,  those  companies  whose  operating  revenues 
exceed  $50,000  but  not  more  than  $250,000  per  year ;  class  C, 
those  companies  whose  operating  revenues  exceed  $5000  but 
not  more  than  $50,000,  and  class  D,  those  companies  whose 
operating  revenues  are  $5000  or  less. 

In  all  probability  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission's 
classification  of  accounts  will  become  effective  January  1, 1913. 
It  is  the  desire  of  this  Commission  to  adopt  the  interstate 
classification  if  possible.  The  accounting  year  will  probably 
correspond  with  the  calendar  year,  and  legislation  will  be 
necessary  in  Kansas  to  correct  the  reporting  year  to  corre- 
spond with  the  federal  requirement. 


The  Commission  has  adopted  the  standad  report  forms  pre- 
pared by  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  for  steam  and 
electric  railroads,  express  companies  and  sleeping-car  com- 
panies. It  has  prepared  detailed  reports  for  the  telephone 
and  gas  companies  as  well  as  the  telegraph,  companies. 

Four  different  forms  of  accident  reports  are  required  of  the 
railway  companies,  the  law  making  it  their  duty  to  report  ail 
accidents  resulting  in  loss  of  human  life  or  serious  personal 
injury. 

In  addition  to  these  the  railway  companies  have  been  fur- 
nished with  forms  for  reporting  the  monthly  performance  of 
passenger  trains. 

In  order  to  assist  the  carriers  and  utilities  in  making  appli- 
cation to  secure  permission  to  issue  securities,  detailed  forma 
which  follow  the  statutory  requirements  have  been  prepared. 
Likewise,  a  simple  form  has  been  printed  to  enable  persons

having  a  grievance  againat  a  carrier  or  utility  to  make  tiieir 
cotnplaiiit  in  an  intelligent  manner  to  the  Commission. 

NATURAL-GAS  SATES. 

Early  in  the  year  1912  the  pipe-line  companies  serving  the 
various  cities  in  Kansas  with  natural  gas,  in  connection  with 
the  local  distributing  companies,  attempted  to  advance  the 
price  of  that  commodity  without  the  consent  of  the  Public 
Utilities  Commission.  Section  20,  chapter  238,  of  the  Session 
Laws  of  1911  provides  that  no  change  shall  be  made  in  any 
rate,  toll,  charge  or  classiftcation  or  schedule  of  charges,  or  In 
any  rule  or  regulation  of  any  public  utility  or  common  carrier, 
without  the  consent  of  the  Commission. 

The  Commission  instructed  its  attorney  to  bring  injunction 
proceedings  to  restrain  the  gas  companies  from  making  the 
contemplated  advances.  These  cases  were  removed  to  the  fed- 
eral court,  and  thereupon  Mr.  Marshall,  attorney  for- the  Com- 
mission, and  Mr.  Dawson,  attorney-general,  brought  proceed- 
ings in  the  name  of  the  state  against  the  gas  companies  for 
violation  of  the  anti-trust  law,  it  appearing  that  the  pipeline 
companies  had  made  exclusive  contracts  with  the  distributing 
companies  for  supplying  gas  to  the  various  municipalities 
of  the  state.  The  anti-trust  suits  had  the  effect  of  bringing 
the  gas  companies  under  the  control  of  the  Commission,  and 
the  proposed  advances  were  withdrawn  and  heavy  fines  paid 
by  the  Kansas  Natural  Gas  Company  in  settlement  of  the  anti- 
trust litigation.  As  a  result  the  people  of  Kansas  are  to-day 
paying  no  higher  rates  for  natural  gas  than  they  have  paid 
for  the  past  several  years,  although  the  supply  is  fast  being 
depleted. 

LEGAL  DEPARTMENT. 

John  Marshall,  who  was  attorney  for  the  Sailroad  Com- 
mission, was  appointed  by  the  PuUic  Utilities  Commission, 
on  May  22,  1911,  to  serve  in  a  like  capacity  for  a  term  of 
two  years.  Mr.  Marshall  has  had  charge  of  all  the  court  cases 
and  Interstate  Commerce  cases  in  connection  with  the  rate 
department,  and  has  appeared  for  complainants  in  various 
cases  coming  before  the  Commission.  A  more  detailed  state- 
ment of  the  work  of  this  department  will  be  found  under  the 
headings,  "Cases  Contested  in  Court"  and  "Rate  Cases  Before 
the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission." 
RATE  DEPARTMENT. 

E.  E.  Smythe,  formerly  general  freight  agent  of  the  Kansas 
City  Southern,  and  H.  D.  Driscoll  were  placed  in  charge  of  the 
rate  department  when  the  Commission  was  organized,  and 
upon  Mr.  Smythe's  resignation  Mr.  Hogueland  was  advanced 
to  the  position  of  rate  clerk,  and  W.  L,  Monson  was  made 


ly  Google 


8  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

assistant  rate  clerk  to  succeed  Mr.  Driscoll,  who  was  appointed 
commissioner  of  the  Topeka  Traffic  Bureau. 

This  department,  in  connection  with  the  legal  department, 
has  prepared  hundreds  of  rate  exhibits  to  be  used  in  inter- 
state rate  cases  and  cases  coming  before  this  Commission.  In 
addition  to  the  general  rate  cases,  several  hundred  dollars  in 
claims  due  to  overcharges  and  misrouting  on  the  part  of  the 
carriers  have  been  refunded  to  the  Kansas  shippers  throu^ 
the  efforts  of  the  department.  The  Commission  has  now  pend- 
ing before  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  something 
hke  a  dozen  rate  cases  involving  interstate  rates  into  Kansas. 

The  department  has  recently  worked  out  a  differential  basis 
for  the  movement  of  carload  shipments  of  live  stock,  grain, 
coal,  lumber,  brick,  sand,  stone  and  salt  over  two  lines  of  rail- 
way in  the  state  of  Kansas.  The  continuous  mileage  rates 
over  the  two  lines,  plus  differentials  ranging  from  1  cent  on 
coal  to  3^  cents  on  sheep,  are  to  be  applied  for  the  transporta- 
tion of  such  shipments.  The  department  has  also  prescribed 
modified  milling-in-transit  rules  to  govern  shipments  of  grain 
and  grain  products  moving  between  points  in  the  state  of 
Kansas.  The  new  rules  were  necessary  on  account  of  the 
drastic  action  taken  by  the  railroads  as  a  result  of  the  decision 
of  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission,  which  would  result 
in  driving  the  interior  mills  of  Kansas  to  the  Missouri  river 
and  other  rate-breaking  points.  The  modified  rules  permit  the 
interior  millers  to  compete  on  a  more  equitable  basis  with  their 
competitors  who  enjoy  proportional  or  reshipping  rates  from 
the  Missouri  river. 

A  careful  check  is  made  of  all  tariffs  filed  by  the  carriers, 
and  all  advances  in  interstate  rates  that  are  against  the  best 
interests  of  the  shippers  of  the  state  are  called  to  the  attention 
of  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission,  and  usually  sus- 
pended pending  a  hearing  to  show  why  the  advances  are  nec- 
essary. In  addition  to  the  interstate  cases,  the  question  of  a 
more  equitable  scale  of  intrastate  express  rates  is  now  under 
consideration. 

Under  the  heading  "Rate  Cases  Before  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce Commission"  will  be  found  a  review  of  the  more  im- 
portant actions. 

ENGINEERING  DEPAHTMENT. 

Carl  C.  Witt  was  appointed  engineer  for  the  Public  Utilities 
Commission  on  May  22,  1911,  and  with  his  assistants  has  been 
making  an  appraisal  of  the  physical  property  of  all  the  rail- 
ways operating  in  this  state,  and  has  also  valued  two  electric- 
light  plants,  one  in  Garden  City  and  one  in  Parsons,  and  in 
addition  has  made  inspection  of  the  condition  of  tracks  that 
were  reported  in  bad  condition,  also  investigations  for  pro- 
pped connecting  tracks,  and  other  work  of  an  engineering 
nature.  .

First  Report.  9 

The  law  for  many  years  has  made  it  the  duty  of  the  Railroad 
Commission  to  value  the  railways  of  the  state,  but  this  Com- 
mission is  the  first  one  to  undertake  the  tacJc. 

The  Commission  has  required  the  railway  companies  to 
submit  complete  inventories  of  their  physical  property  as  well 
as  right-of-way  plats,  profiles,  etc.  The  preparation  of  this 
data  is  being  carried  forward  at  present  by  all  the  companies, 
and  several  have  practically  completed  the  work.  The  Com- 
mission's engineers  are  checking  the  items  and  placing  the 
values  thereon. 

In  one  year's  time  a  complete  valuation  has  been  made  of 
the  property  of  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad  Company  in  Kansas 
and  a  great  deal  of  work  accomplished  on  the  appraisal  of  the 
other  lines.  In  another  year  practically  all  of  the  principal 
lines  can  be  appraised. 

A  complete  report  of  the  work  of  the  engineering  depart-

obtained,  appears  in  another  part  of  this  report. 

■fhe  cost  to  reproduce  new  the  property  of  the  Union  Pacific 
Railroad  Company  in  Kansas  has  been  found  to  be  $44,120,492, 
or  ?37,157  per  mile  of  roadway,  while  the  present  physical 
value  is  ^32,604,952,  or  $27,459  per  mile  of  roadway. 

If  section  No.  1,  Kansas- Missouri  state  line  to  Topeka,  which 
includes  all  the  double  track  in  this  state  and  the  eirtensive 
terminals  and  shops  at  Kansas  City,  Kan,,  is  excluded  from 
above  totals,  the  total  cost  to  reproduce  new  per  mile  of  the 
remaining  roadway  will  be  $31,104.95,  and  the  present  physical 
value  per  mile  of  roadway  will  be  $23,442.03. 

Detailed  statements  showing  the  cost  of  the  various  branch 
lines  as  well  as  main  lines  are  shown  in  the  engineering  de-

EXPENDITURES. 

When  the  Railroad  Commission  was  organized,  on  January 
9,  1911,  there  was  $11,870.16  in  the  funds  of  the  Commission, 
not  taking  into  account  that  of  the  attorney.  The  expenditures 
up  to  May  22,  1911,  were  $5664.55,  and  $3369.09  from  May 
22.  1911,  to  June  30,  1911,  under  the  Public  Utilities  Com- 
mission. The  legislature  of  1911  appropriated  a  total  of  $54,- 
200  for  all  departments  of  the  Commission,  including  $11,200 
for  the  legal  department,  for  the  year  ending  with  June  30, 
1912,  and  a  like  amount  for  1913.  During  the  period  from 
July  1, 1911,  to  and  including  November  30, 1912,  or  seventeen 
months,  the  Commission  has  expended  for  all  branches  of  the 
work,  including  the  valuation  of  the  Kansas  railroads,  a  total 
of  $44,905.77,  and  the  attorney  spent  during  the  same  time 
$9,091.

RECOUHENDATIONS. 
Jurisdiction. 

it  is  our  opinion  that  section  3,  chapter  238,  of  the  £ 
Laws  of  1911,  shculd  be  amended  to  clearly  define  the  juris- 
diction of  the  Commission.  We  believe  that  all  public  utilities 
and  common  carriers  should  be  placed  under  the  control  of 
the  Public  Utilities  Commiasion.  If  this  is  not  desirable,  the 
Commission's  jurisdiction  should  be  more  clearly  defined.  We 
are  ol  the  opnion  that  all  telephone  companies  transmitting 
mcs.'^af^es  should  be  placed  under  the  control  of  the  State  Com- 
mission ;  otherwise  there  will  be  no  regulation  of  such  com- 
panies. 

Diacrimination. 

Section  12  of  the  act  should  be  amended  to  provide  that  no 
public  utility  or  common  carrier  shall  charge,  demand,  collect 
or  receive  any  greater  or  less  compensation  for  any  service  that 
it  may  render  than  it  charges,  demands,  collects  or  receives  for 
a  like  and  contemporaneous  service  under  substantially  sim- 
ilar circumstances  and  conditions.  This  section  now  provides 
that  no  greater  or  less  compensation  shall  be  charged  for  die 
same  class  of  service  than  that  specified  in  the  printed  sched- 
ules or  ctasaificatio&s. 

Notice  of  Hearings. 

Section  15  of  chapter  288  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911  pro- 
vides that  thirty  days'  written  or  printed  notice  of  all  hearinjis 
or  investigations  before  the  Commission  shall  be  given.  Tbi? 
should  be  reduced  to  ten  days  or  left  entirely  to  the  discretion 
of  the  Commission.  On  account  of  the  great  number  of  cases 
coming  before  the  Commission  and  the  frequent  requests  on 
the  part  of  both  the  complainants  and  respondents  for  post- 
ponements, it  is  a  serious  handicap  to  the  efficient  adminiatn- 
tion  of  the  affairs  of  the  Commission  to  require  tiiirty  dayd' 
notice  of  all  hearings.  In  a  great  many  stat^  this  matter  is 
left  entirely  to. the  Commission,  or,  when  time  limit  is  fixed, 
ten  days  is  considered  sufficient  notice. 
Reporting  Year. 

Both  the  railroad  law  and  the  public  utilities  law  expreasty 
provide  that  annual  reports  shall  be  rendered  to  the  Commia- 
sion on  or  before  the  15th  day  of  September  for  the  year  end- 
ing on  the  30th  day  of  June  preceding.  The  inteMtate  com- 
merce act  leaves  this  matter  entirely  in  the  hands  of  the  C(»ii- 
mission,  and  that  tribunal  is  now  seriously  considering  the 
advisability  of  changing  the  reporting  year  to  end  with  the 
calendar  year  instead  of  with  June  30.  It  is  liierefore  veiy 
important  that  the  Kansas  law  be  amended  to  give  the  Conh 
mission  power  to  make  the  year  for  state  reports  correspond

Firat  Report.  11 

with  the  federal  requirements.  The  Interstate  Commerce 
CommissJon  will  probably  require  the  telephone  companies 
doinjr  an  interstate  business  to  render  a  report  for  the  year 
endinK  with  December  31,  while  the  Kansas  law  now  requires 
a  report  from  these  utilities  for  the  year  ending  with  June  SO, 
thus  imposing  ah  additional  burden  upon  the  state  utilities. 
Regulation  of  Security  lasuea. 

The  law  regulatinsr  the  issuance  of  Securities  confers  upon 
the  Commission  only  limited  authority.  It  provides  that  the 
Commission  may  ascertain  the  truth  or  falsity  of  statenient:^ 
regarding  the  amount,  character,  purposes  and  terms  on  whii^li 
such  securities  are  to  be  issued.  But  it  gives  the  Commission 
practically  no  discretionary  power;  such  authority  should  he 
conferred  upon  the  Commission.  The  Commission  should  alyo 
be  given  power  and  authority  to  require  reports  from  the  com- 
mon carriers  and  public  utilities,  showing  the  disposition  made 
of  authorized  securities  and  whether  the  funds  realized  there- 
from have  been  applied  to  the  proper  purposes. 
Grounds  for  Appeal. 

Section  21  of  chapter  238  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911  au- 
thorizes an  appeal  from  orders  of  the  Commission  on  the 
ground  that  the  same  are  unlawful  or  unreasonable,  thereby 
permitting  a  rehearing  on  questions  of  fact.  It  is  our  judg- 
ment that  the  Commission's  findings  of  fact  should  be  final,  as 
in  the  case  of  the  decisions  of  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission. 

Physical  Telephone  Connections. 

There  is  considerable  question  whether  the  Commission  has 
the  power  under  the  existing  law  to  require  two  telephone 
companies  to  connect  their  lines  and  give  joint  service.  Such 
power  should  be  conferred  upon  the  Commission  in  positive 
language. 

Division  of  Joint  Rates. 

Considerable  doubt  exists  whether  the  Commission  has 
power  to  fix  the  division  of  joint  rates  other  than  those  of  rail- 
road companies.  It  is  very  important  that  the  Commission  be 
given  this  authority  to  properly  adjust  difficulties  between 
utilities. 

Emergency  Rates. 
'  The  Commission  should  be  given  power  and  authority  to 
order  the  establishment  of  emergency  rates  without  a  hearing 
if  in  the  judgment  of  the  Commission  public  necessity  and 
convenience  require  such  action.

12  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

Review  of  City  Ordinaneea. 
Section  33  of  the  public  utilities  law  confers  upon  the  Com- 
mission certain  powers  in  case  a  utility  or  the  taxpayers  of  the 
city  desire  to  appeal  from  an  ordinance  of  a  city  fixing  rate<. 
etc.  The  section  provides  that  while  any  proceedings  to  resist 
the  action  of  the  city  are  pending  before  the  Commission  or  ia 
any  court,  the  ordinance  shall  be  inoperative.  No  provisior.. 
however,  is  made  for  substituting  the  order  of  the  Commission 
after  review  for  the  ordinance  passed  by  the  city. 

Industrial  Tracks. 
Under  existing  laws  the  Commission  has  no  power  to  order 
railroad  companies  to  build  sidetracks  to  industries  other  thaa 
mills  and  elevators.  It  is  very  important  that  the  Commission 
should  have  this  power,  and  the  law  should  be  amended  giving 
the  Commission  power  and  authority  to  require  railroad  com- 
panies to  build  industrial  sidetracks  whenever  the  same  ari.* 
necessary,  and  fix  the  compensation  to  be  paid  therefor. 

Joint  Rates. 

Your  attention  is  expressly  called  to  the  language  used  in 

item  1,  section  1,  of  chapter  193  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1909, 

commonly  known  as  the  Kansas  maximum-freight-rate  lav. 

which  reads  as  follows : 


1  swr*- 

a  stations  in  Kansat 
!  companies,  the  itims  of  tki 

The  rates  prescribed  in  the  law  referred  to  are  for  the 
transportation  of  certain  commodities  in  carload  lots  over  a 
single  line  of  railway  within  the  state  of  Kansas.  If  the  ship- 
menl  moves  over  two  or  more  lines  of  railway  the  rates  under 
this  provision  will  be  merely  the  sum  of  the  local  rates  over 
each  line.  Several  sections  of  the  public  utilities  law  give  the 
Commission  express  power  to  fix  just  and  reasonable  joint 
rates,  and  while  it  was  evidently  the  intention  of  the  legisla- 
ture to  repeal  the  provision  of  the  maximum-freight-rate  law 
fixing  joint  rates  at  the  sum  of  the  local  rates,  some  question 
has  been  raised  as  to  the  Commission's  power  to  do  so.  In  a 
recent  action  the  Commission  has  fixed  joint  rates  over  tw? 
lines  en  the  basis  of  the  continuous  mileage  rates  plus  a  fixed 
differential,  and  the  railway  companies  are  resisting  the  order 
of  the  Commission  on  the  ground  that  it  has  no  power  to  lis 
Buch  rates. 

It  is  a  very  common  practice  in  many  of  the  western  wid 
southern  states  to  fix  joint  rates  over  two  or  more  lines  on  a 
basis  materially  lower  than  the  sum  of  the  intermediate  locai:- 
Various  methods  iiave  been  employed  in  different  states;  the 


ly  Google 


First  Report.  18 

rates  promulgated  range  from  75  per  cent  to  90  per  cent  of 
the  sum  of  the  intermedlBte  locals. 

Classification  of  Railroads. 

The  Commission  should  be  given  authority  to  classify  the 
railways  of  the  state  according  to  their  gross  earnings.  This 
has  been  done  in  states  like  Iowa  and  Illinois,  where  provision 
is  made  for  a  low  scale  of  rates  over  the  trunk  lines  and  a 
slightly  higher  scale  of  rates  on  the  weak  lines.  Many  of  the 
controversies  in  the  past  between  the  railways  of  the  state  and 
the  Commission  have  been  due  to  the  attempt  to  establish  the 
same  basis  of  rates  for  all  lines,  regardless  of  their  financial 
condition.  It  is  possible  that  a  strict  construction  of  the  pres- 
ent law  would  give  the  Commission  the  power  to  classify  the 
roads,  but  such  authority  should  be  granted  in  positive  terms. 
Weighing. 

The  Commission  has  very  limited  authority  over  the  weigh- 
ing methods  and  practices  of  the  carriers.  It  is  our  recom- 
mendation that  the  authority  of  the  Commission  be  enlarged 
to  include  this  subject. 

False  Billing. 

The  present  laws  do  not  impose  any  penalty  upon  a  carrier 
or  shipper  who  is  guilty  of  false  billing  in  order  to  secure 
preferential  rates  or  service.  The  interstate  commerce  law 
makes  it  a  misdemeanor  to  obtain  transportation  of  property 
at  less  than  the  regular  rate  by  means  of  false  billing,  false 
classification,  false  weighing  or  false  report  of  weight.  Such 
a  provision  should  very  properly  be  enacted  into  law  in  this 
state. 

Passes. 

The  present  law  provides  that  the  commissioners  and  all 
employees  shall  have  the  right  to  pass  at  all  times  over  all  the 
roads  or  any  part  thereof  in  the  state  without  charge.  On  ac- 
count of  the  fact  that  the  Commission's  jurisdiction  has  been 
extended  to  include  public  utilities  as  well  as  common  carriers, 
and  the  necessity  for  hearings  in  cases  involving  telephone, 
gas  and  other  utility  companies  throughout  the  state,  we  do 
not  deem  it  proper  that  the  railway  companies  should  be  re- 
quired to  furnish  free  transportation  to  the  Commissioners  or 
to  the  employees.  An  allowance  should  be  made  for  all  nece.3- 
sary  traveling  expenses,  including  railroad  transportation. 
Examiners. 

The  Commission  at  the  present  time  has  no  power  to  employ 
examiners  or  other  persons  to  take  testimony.  On  account  of 
the  increase  in  the  work  of  the  Commission,  it  will  soon  be- 
come necessary  to  employ  examiners  to  hear  cases  and  report 


ly  Google 


'  l4  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

to  the  Commisaion.    Authority  should  be  given  to  the  Com- 
mission to  employ  such  examiners  as  in  its  judgment  are 
necessary.    Some  provision  should  also  be  made  for  employ- 
ing a  regular  reporter  for  the  Commission. 
Conflict  in  Laws. 

Some  change  should  be  made  in  the  laws  relating  to  the 
isBuarice  of  charters.  At  the  present  time  the  Charter  Board 
must  pass  upon  the  application  for  a  charter,  while  a  commoD 
carrier  or  public  utility  seeking  to  do  business  in  the  state 
must  obtain  from  the  Public  Utilities  Commission  a  certificate 
of  public  convenience  and  necessity  and  also  authority  to  issue 
securities.  Some  question  has  been  raised  whether  under  the 
blue-sky  law  public-service  corporations  are  not  required  to 
apply  to  the  bank  department  for  authority  to  sell  securities. 
This  imposes  an  undue  burden  on  the  common  carriers  and 
public  utilities  of  the  state.  The  most  satisfactory  way  to 
handle  such  matters  would  be  to  give  the  Public  Utilities  Com- 
mission the  power  of  a  corporation  commission,  like  the  cor- 
poration commissions  of  Oklahoma,  Virginia  and  other  states 
now  enjoy.  This  would  place  complete  control  in  one  tribanai 
and  prevent  much  confusion. 

AppropriatioTts. 

It  is  our  recommendation  that  the  fallowing  appropriation!! 
be  made  for  the  next  two  years :

CASES  CONTESTED  IN  COURT. 

On  being  appointed  to  the  position  of  attorney  for  the  Board 
of  Railroad  Commiasioners,  January  9,  1911,  Mr.  Marshall 
found,  in  the  supreme  court  of  this  state,  the  State  of  Kansas, 
ex  rel.  John  S.  Dawson,  v.  C.  B.  &  Q.  Rid.  Co.  and  C.  R.  I.  &  P. 
Ry.  Co. ;  In  re  Gardner,  and  the  Mo.  Pac.  Ry.  Co.,  v.  Board  of 
Railroad  Commiasioners. 

The  State  of  Kansas,  ex  rel.  John  S.  Dawson,  v.  C.  B.  &  Q. 
Rid.  Co.  and  C.  R.  I.  &  P.  Ry.  Co.,  85  Kan.  649,  was  an  action 
commenced  by  John  S.  Dawaon  in  the  supreme  court  of  the 
state  to  compel  the  railroad  companies  to  put  in  track  con- 
nection between  their  tracks  at  the  towh  of  Calvert,  in  Norton 
county.    The  order  of  the  Commiaaion  was  upheld. 

In  re  Gardner,  84  Kan.  264,  was  an  original  proceeding  in 
the  supreme  court  in  habeas  corpus,  brought  to  secure  the  re- 
lease of  M.  G.  Gardner,  the  agent  of  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad 
Company  at  Topeka,  for  refusing  a  requisition  made  for  the 
transportation  of  Major  Arthur  Mills,  of  the  Kansas  National 
Guard,  at  the  rate  of  one  cent  per  mile,  the  statutory  rate  for 
the  transportation  of  members  of  the  National  Guard.  This 
statute  was  by  the  supreme  court  held  unconstitutional,  the 
court  saying  that  the  state  does  not  have  power  to  compel  the 
railroads  to  carry  members  of  the  National  Guard  at  one  cent 
per  mile  while  other  people  pay  two  cents  per  mile. 

The  Mo.  Pac.  Ry.  Co.  v.  Board  of  Railroad  Commissioners 
of  the  State  of  Kansas,  86  Kan.  229,  was  an  appeal  prosecuted 
by  the  Missouri  Pacific  Railway  Company  from  a  judgment 
of  the  district  court  of  Shawnee  county,  refusing  to  enjoin 
the  Board  of  Railroad  Commissioners  from  enforcing  an  order 
requiring  freight  terminal  facilities  at  Kansas  City  and  the 
construction  and  maintenance  of  a  freight  depot  at  that  place. 
The  supreme  court  held  the  order  of  the  Railroad  Commis- 
sioners a  reasonable  requirement. 

These  three  cases  were  briefed  and  argued  by  Mr.  Marshall 
after  coming  into  the  office. 

The  State  of  Kansas  v.  Kansas  Natural  Gas  Company,  State 
of  Kansas  v.  Wichita  Natural  Gas  Company,  State  of  KMisas 
V.  Mo.  &  Kan.  Interurban  Railway  Company,  and  the  Mo.  & 
Kan.  Interurban  Railway  Company  v.  The  Public  Utilities 
Commission,  are  cases  that  have  been  commenced  and  tried 
and  final  judgment  rendered  in  the  district  courts  of  several 
counties  of  the  state.  There  were  some  ten  cases  against  the 
Kansas  Natural  Gas  Company  the  object  of  which  was  to  pre- 
vent the  Kansas  Natural  Gas  Company  from  increasing  the

price  of  natural  gas  without  the  consent  of  the  Commission. 
This  litigation  resulted  successfully,  and  was  prosecuted  io 
connection  with  the  attorney-general  of  the  state. 

The  cases  in  which  the  Missouri  and  Kansas  Intenirtwi 
Railway  Company  was  interested  were  commenced  in  the  dis- 
trict court  of  Jolmson  county,  Kansas,  the  object  of  whidi,  on 
the  part  of  the  Commission,  was  to  prevenf  the  Interuiiwn 
Railway  Company  from  discontinuing  certain  stations  and 
from  establishing  certain  regulations  which  the  CommissicHi 
deemed  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of  the  patrons  of  the  rail- 
way company.  This  litigation  resulted  in  the  continuance  of 
the  stations  and  the  abrogation  of  obnoxious  regulations  and 
the  promulgation  of  regulations  acceptable  to  the  people  along 
the  line  of  the  railway. 

C.  R.  I.  &  P.  Ry.  Co.  V.  Public  Utilities  Commission ;  M.  K  ^ 
T.  Ry.  Co.  V.  Public  Utilities  Commission ;  M.  K.  &  T.  Ry.  Co. 
V.  Public  Utilities  Commission;  State  of  Kansas  v.  Missouri 
&  Kansas  Telephone  Company,  and  the  State  of  Kansas  v. 
Miami  County  Telephone  Company,  are  still  pending.  The 
0.  R.  I.  &  P.  Ry.  Co.  V.  the  Commission  is  a  case  to  enjoin  the 
enforcement  of  an  order  of  the  Commission  directing  that 
certain  joint  rates  on  flour  be  made  from  Inman,  Kan.,  to 
points  in  the  southeastern  part  of  the  state  on  the  St.  Louis  £ 
San  Francisco  railroad.  The  order  of  the  Commission  estab- 
lishing joint  rates  over  all  railroads  in  Kansas  makes  it  unnec- 
essary to  further  defend  in  this  case. 

The  M.  K.  &  T.  Ry.  Co.  v.  Public  Utilities  Commission  is  an 
action  brought  by  the  railroad,  in  the  district  court  of  I^u 
county,  to  enjoin  the  enforcement  of  an  order  directing  the 
establishment  of  a  depot  and  agency  at  Sherman,  in  Cherokee 
county.  The  railroad  has  agreed  to  build  the  depot  and  estab- 
lish the  agency,  thus  carrying  into  effect  the  order  of  the 
Commission. 

The  M.  K.  &  T.  Ry.  Co.  v.  the  Public  Utilities  Commission, 
another  suit,  is  an  action  to  enjoin  the  Commission  from  en- 
forcing an  order  directing  the  railroad  to  stop  certain  trains 
at  Chetopa  and  keep  a  night  agent  at  this  station.  Judgment 
has  substantially  been  a^%ed  upon  in  this  case. 

State  of  Kansas  v.  Mo.  &  Kan.  Telephone  Company  is  an 
action  brought  to  enjoin  the  telephone  company  from  removing 
a  portion  of  its  records  from  Topeka  to  Missouri.  There  will 
probably  be  no  further  litigation  in  this  case. 

State  of  Kansas  v.  Miami  County  Telephone  Company  is  an 
action  to  enjoin  the  Miami  County  Telephone  Company  from 
engaging  in  business  as  a  public  utility  without  the  consent  of 
the  Commission.  This  telephone  company  is  endeavoring  to 
conduct  its  business  as  a  mutual  telephone  company.  So  long 
as  this  is  done  no  cause  of  action  exists  against  the  telephtmc 
company.

First  Report.  17 

In  the  last  five  cases  litigation  is  practically  concluded. 
There  yet  remaina  to  be  rendered  judgment  in  these  cases, 
which  has  been  substantially  agreed  upon  in  all. 

The  St.  J.  &  G.  I.  Ry,  Co.  v.  the  Commission  is  a  contested 
case  still  pending  and  remains  yet  to  be  tried.  This  is  an  ac- 
tion to  enjoin  the  Commission  from  enforcing  an  order  direct- 
ing the  building  of  a  depot  and  the  establishment  of  an  agency 
at  Blair,  in  Doniphan  county,  Kansas. 

The  Missouri  Pacific  Railway  Company  v.  the  Commission 
is  an  action  brought  by  the  Missouri  Pacific  to  enjoin  the  Com- 
mission from  enforcing  an  order  directing  that  the  Missouri 
Pacific  carry  coal  from  the  southeastern  part  of  the  state  to 
Claflin,  in  Barton  county,  Kan.,  for  $1.10  a  ton.  This  is  a  con- 
tested cage  and  yet  remains  to  be  tried. 

There  is  pending  in  the  federal  courts  of  this  state  an  action 
brought  by  each  of  the  railroads  against  the  Railroad  Com- 
mission to  enjoin  the  enforcement  of  the  order  directing  that 
passengers  be  carried  in  this  state  at  two  cents  per  mile.  This 
litigation  stands  on  stipulation  awaiting  the  result  of  actions 
in  similar  cases  in  the  state  of  Nebraska. 

On  December  5  injunction  proceedings  against  the  Commis- 
sion were  filed  in  the  district  court  of  Shawnee  county,  Kansas, 
by  all  the  railroads  of  this  state  interested,  to  enjoin  the  en- 
forcement of  the  order  made  by  the  Commission  establishing 
joint  rates  over  the  several  railroads  throughout  the  state  of 
Kansas.

MISSISSIPPI  RIVER  RATE  CASE. 

For  many  years  the  Kansas  shipping  public  has  complained 
bitterly  of  discriminations  in  the  rates  from  the  Mississippi 
river  and  points  east  thereof  and  through  the  Galveston  gate- 
way to  Kansas  cities.  So  great  was  this  complaint  that  in 
1909  the  Kansas  legislature  passed  a  concurrent  resolution 
calling  upon  the  Railroad  Commission  to  make  an  immediate 
investigation  of  the  rate  conditions  of  the  state  and  file  suit 
with  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  seeking  a  read- 
justment of  the  rates  on  a  just  and  equitable  basis. 

As  a  result  of  this  investigation  the  Commission  brought  an 
action  before  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  against  all 
of  the  Kansas  lines  praying  for  a  material  reduction  in  the 
rates  from  the  Mississippi  river,  Peoria  and  Chicago. 

This  case  was  prepared  with  great  care,  and  no  eflfort  or 
expense  spared  to  show  the  true  conditions  to  the  Interstatt 
Commerce  Commission.  The  evidence  presented  shows 
that  the  rates  on  classes  and  commodities  from  Chicago,  Peoria 
and  Mississippi  river  points  to  the  cities  of  Topeka,  Salina,

HutchiTxaon,  Wichita,  Dodge  City  and  Goodland,  and  other  cities 
and  towns  in  the  state  of  Kansas,  are  unjust,  unreasonable 
and  prejudicial  to  the  interests  of  the  Kansas  people.  The 
rates  to  the  larger  part  of  the  stat^  of  Kansas  are  merely  the 
sum  of  the  local  rates  from  the  Missisippi  river  to  the  Missouri 
river  and  the  local  rates  from  the  Missouri  river  west  In  the 
southeast  comer  of  the  state,  in  what  is  known  as  percentage 
basig  territory,  the  rates  are  slightly  less  than  the  full  com- 
bination on  the  Missouri  river.  This  is  also  true  in  the  ex- 
treme western  portion  of  the  state,  where  the  Colorado  com- 
mon-point rates  hold  down  the  Kansas  rates.  A  very  small 
territory  in  the  northeast  comer  of  the  state  is  likewise  af- 
fected by  influences  due  to  the  Lincoln,  Omaha  and  Hastingd, 
Neb.,  adjustments. 

This  case  is  probably  the  most  important  one  ever  brought 
for  the  benefit  of  the  Kansas  people,  and  it  is  confidently  ex- 
pected that  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  will  order 
a  very  material  reduction  in  the  rates  at  an  early  date. 

GALVESTON  BATE  CASE. 

Early  in  the  year  1910  the  Southwestern  Shippers'  Associa- 
tion, consisting  of  shippers  from  Kansas,  Oklahoma  and  Texas, 
was  formed  for  the  purpose  of  securing  lower  frei^t  rates 
from  the  Atlantic  seaboard  territory  to  points  in  the  interior 
in  the  southwest  through  the  Galveston  gateway.  At  that  time 
the  rates  through  the  north  Atlantic  porta,  and  the  south  At- 
lantic ports,  including  Galveston,  to  Kansas  {>oints  were  iden- 
tically the  same,  regardless  of  the  short  water  haul  and  the 
long  rail  haul  through  the  north  Atlantic  ports,  while  throngb 
Galveston  the  water  haul  is  practically  2200  miles  and  the  rail 
haul  but  600  to  700  miles  to  Wichita,  Hutchinson  and  other 
Kansas  points. 

The  Kansas  Commission  intervened  in  this  case  and  gave 
the  shippers  all  the  assistance  possible.  Hearings  were  held 
in  Kansas  City,  New  York,  Washington  and  Galveston.  Th? 
shippers  contended  that  their  close  proximity  to  tidewater 
entitled  them  to  a  much  better  basis  of  freight  rates  than  cities 
located  on  the  Missouri  river,  and  points  where  the  rail  haul 
is  much  greater,  now  enjoy. 

In  an  opinion  under  date  of  June  6,  1912,  the  Interstate 
Commerce  Commission  found  that  the  present  class  rates  from 
Galveston,  Tex.,  to  Wichita,  Kan.,  and  Oklahoma  City,  Okla- 
are  unreasonable,  and  held  that  the  following  rates  to  Wichita 
should  not  be  exceeded : 


Kates 1.32     1.12     .94     .86     .68     .71     .63     .52     M    .» 

The  Commission  found  that  the  monopolistic  conditions 
which  have  existed  in  the, water  traffic  between  the  Atlantic 
seaboard  and  Galveston  have  resulted  in  excessive  charges,  but

to  what  ejttent  the  Commission  was  unable  to  say.  The  Com- 
mission held  that  the  present  class  rates  from  the  Atlantic 
seaboard  territory  to  Wichita,  Denver  and  Oklahoma  City  are 
not  unreasonable.

SALT  RATES. 

At  the  request  of  the  Kansas  salt  producers,  the  Commission 
brought  an  action  before  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission, 
seeking  a  readjustment  of  the  salt  rates  from  the  Kansas  field 
to  the  Mississippi  river  and  intermediate  points,  on  the  ground 
that  the  rates  from  the  Kansas  producing  territory  to  the 
markets  at  the  Mississippi  river  were  unreasonably  high  when 
compared  with  the  rates  on  the  same  commodity  from  Detroit, 
Mich. 

The  rate  on  salt  from  the  Kansas  field  to  St.  Louis  was  ISi/g 
cents  per  hundred  pounds,  while  from  Detroit  to  St.  Louis  it 
was  but  IVi  cents  per  hundred  pounds  for  a  haul  of  practically 
the  same  distance.  The  Commission  decided  that  the  Kansas 
shippers  were  being  discriminated  against  by  the  action  of  the 
Wabash  Railway  Company,  which  participated  in  the  rate  from 
the  Kansas  field  to  St.  Louis  and  fixed  the  rate  from  Detroit 
to  St.  Louis.  The  company  was  ordered  to  cease  and  desist 
from  the  discrimination,  either  by  advancing  its  rate  from 
Detroit  to  St.  Louis,  or  reducing  the  rate  from  the  Kansas  field 
to  St.  Louis.  The  railroad  company  attempted  to  cancel  its 
through  rate  from  Kansas,  but  has  been  directed  by  the  Com- 
mission to  restore  the  same. 

In  a  later  opinion,  involving  applications  for  relief  from  the 
operation  of  the  fourth  section,  the  Commission  denied  per- 
mission to  the  direct  lines  to  maintain  a  higher  intermediate 
charge  for  transportation  of  salt  in  violation  of  the  fourth 
section,  but  where  the  direct  line  observes  the  fourth  section, 
a  competing  line,  whose  mileage  exceeds  that  of  the  direct  line 
by  not  less  than  15  per  cent,  may  meet  the  rate  of  the  direct 
line  without  reducing  its  present  intermediate  charge.  The 
effect  of  this  decision  was  to  reduce  the  rates  from  the  Kansas 
field  to  a  great  many  points  on  the  lines  of  the  Missouri  Pacific 
and  Rock  Island  in  Missouri  between  Kansas  City  and  the 
Mississippi  river.  Some  of  the  carriers  advanced  their  rates 
to  the  Mississippi  river  crossings  in  order  to  maintan  the  pres- 
ent scale  at  intermediate  points,  and  this  matter  is  now  under 
investigation.

GLEN  ELDER -NEW  ORLEANS  FLOUR  RATE. 
The  firm  of  F.  M.  Kaull  &  Son,  of  Glen  Elder,  Kan.,  com- 
plained  to  the  Commission  that  the  rate  on  flour  to  New  Orleans 
for  export  from  Glen  Elder  was  31 V*  cents,  while  the  domestic 
rate  was  32%  cents.  From  near-by  points,  where  the  domestic 
rate  to  New  Orleans  was  32  cents,  the  export  rate  was  26  and 
27  cents.  The  Commission  therefore  filed  a  complaint  with  the 
Interstate  Commerce  Commission,  asking  that  the  export  rate 
be  readjusted,  and  in  the  Commission's  opinion  under  date  of 
November  14,  1911,  it  was  held  that  the  rate  in  the  futare 
should  not  exceed  28  cents,  and  the  Missouri  Pacific  was  re- 
quired to  put  Glen  Elder  substantially  on  a  parity  of  rates  to 
Galveston  with  neighboring  milling  points,  even  though  the 
result  might  be  to  short  haul  the  Missouri  Pacific.

EXPRESS  RATES  ON  DRESSED  POULTRY. 

On  account  of  an  ambiguous  and  apparently  unreasonable 
classification  rule  of  the  express  companies  covering  the  hand- 
ling of  dressed  poultry  shipments,  coniplaint  was  made  to  the 
Interstate  Commerce  Commission  asking  that  a  modified  rule 
be  established.  The  complaint  came  from  the  produce  shippers 
in  Kansas,  who  were  being  continually  overcharged,  and  as 
a  result  of  this  action,  in  a  decision  rendered  June  3,  1911,  the 
Commission  held  that  the  rule  of  the  express  companies  re- 
specting the  weights  at  which  shipments  of  dressed  poultr>' 
are  billed  when  packed  in  ice  was  unreasonable  and  required 
the  companies  to  adopt  a  rule  providing  that  shipments  of 
dressed  poultry  when  packed  in  ice  should  be  billed  at  26  p?r 
cent  less  than  their  gross  weight,  but  in  no  case  at  less  than 
the  net  weight  of  the  poultry,  as  invoiced  by  the  shipper,  plus 
the  weight  of  the  container.

CLASSIFICATION  MATTERS.* 
On  December  30, 1911,  the  Western  Classification  Committee 
issued  Western  Classification  No.  51,  effective  February  15, 
1912.  The  new  classification  contained  several  hundred  ne«" 
ratings  and  a  great  many  changes  in  the  old  rules  and  ratings. 
The  number  of  the  advances  and  reductions  was  substantiaib" 
the  same,  but  the  advances  were  on  more  important  commodi- 
ties, and  this  Commission,  realizing  the  great  importance  of 
this  matter  to  the  shipping  public  of  the  state,  joined  with 
other  commissions  of  the  Mississippi  valley  and  asked  the  In-

terstate  Commerce  Commission  to  suspend  Western  Classifica- 
tion No.  51.  This  was  done,  and  hearings  have  been  held  at 
various  points  throughout  the  territory,  where  the  shippers 
have  had  an  opportunity  to  present  their  contentions.  Repre- 
sentatives of  ttie  Commission  were  present  in  Washington  at 
the  oral  argument  on  October  16  and  17,  and  argued  in  favor 
of  a  modification  of  the  new  classification  and  a  substitution  of 
a  great  many  of  the  old  rules  and  rates.  An  early  decision  in 
this  matter  is  expected  for  the  reason  that  the  suspension  of 
No.  51  expires  on  February  14,  1913. 

COLORADO  COAL  RATES. 
In  1910  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  decided,  in  the 
case  of  Cedar  Hill  Coal  &  Coke  Company  et  al.  v.  Colorado  & 
Southern  Railway  Company  et  al.,  17  I.  C.  C.  Rep.  479,  that 
through  routes  and  rates  from  the  coal  mines  in  the  Walsen- 
burg  district  in  Colorado,  on  the  D.  &  R.  G.  and  C.  S.,  to  points 
on  the  A.  T.  &  S.  F.  system  and  controlled  lines  to  the  east  and 
south  of  Colorado  should  be  established  on  the  same  basis  as 
contemporaneously  in  effect  from  the  Canyon  City  district, 
tfpon  the  expiration  of  the  order  the  carriers  attempted  to 
advance  the  rates  from  Walsenburg  35  cents  per  ton  higher 
than  the  rates  from  Canyon  City.  A  protest  against  such 
action  was  filed  and  the  advances  suspended.  The  case  was 
heard  at  Denver -on  July  15,  1912,  and  the  carriers  were  called 
on  to  justify  the  proposed  advances.  The  action  was  opposed 
by  the  Commission,  and  we  have  every  reason  to  believe  that 
the  old  basis  will  be  reestablished. 

CASES  SUSPENDED. 

In  July,  1912,  the  Kansas  lines  attempted  to  advance  the 
rates  on  horses  and  mules  from  central  and  western  Kansas 
to  St.  Louis,  Peoria  and  Chicago  in  amounts  ranging  from  50 
cents  per  car  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  state  to  $15  per  car  in 
the  western  part.  The  horse  and  mule  dealers  of  the  state 
being  vigorously  opposed  to  the  advance,  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce Commission  was  requested  to  suspend  the  advances 
until  a  hearing  could  be  held  on  the  merits.  A  hearing  was 
held  on  September  30  in  Topeka,  and  an  early  decision  will 
probably  be  handed  down  by  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission. 

The  Commission  has  also  participated  in  a  hearing  on  the 
suspension  of  advances  in  rates  on  linseed  oil  from  Minneapolis, 
Minn.,  and  other  northern  producing  points  to  Kansas. 

A  recent  attempt  on  the  part  of  the  carriers  to  advance  the 
rates  on  lumber  from  points  in  Arkansas,  Louisiana  and  other 
points  in  the  south  to  Kansas  destinations  has  been  suspended 
until  the  31st  day  of  March,  1913.  The  advances  contemplated 
would  affect  a  large  portion  of  the  state,  and  particularly  the 
eastern  portion,  where  the  advances  from  certain  groups  in

the  south  are  as  much  as  3  and  4  cents  per  hundred  pounds. 
This  action  alone  will  save  the  lumber  dealers  of  the  state  of 
Kansas  many  thousands  of  dollars  in  freight  charffes. 

The  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  has  been  conducting 
an  inve8ti8:ation  of  the  alleged  irregularities  and  discrepancies 
in  the  weighing  of  freight  by  carriers  subject  to  the  act  to 
regulate  commerce.  This  Commission  has  taken  the  matter 
up  with  several  hundred  shippers  of  various  kinds  throughout 
the  state,  and  it  is  gratifying  to  learn  that  the  grievances  iti 
the  state  of  Kansas  have  been  reduced  to  a  minfanam.

REPORT  OF  THE  WORK  OP  THE  ENGINEERING

OBOANIZATION. 

Acting  under  powers  conferred  upon  them  by  section  8,  chapter  238, 
Laws  of  1911,  the  Public  Utilities  Conuniasion  of  the  state  of  Kansas 
employed  Mr.  C.  C.  Witt  aa  engineer,  who  commenced  the  work  of 
appraisal  of  the  phyaical  property  of  all  the  railway  companies  operat- 
ing in  the  state  of  Kansas,  in  cranpliance  with  eection  2S,  chapter  238, 
Laws  of  1911,  which  is  aa  foUowa: 

"VabMtion  of  property.  Said  Commission  shall  have  the  power  and 
it  shall  be  its  duty  to  ascertain  the  reasonable  value  of  till  property  of 
any  common  carrier  or  public  utility  governed  by  the  provisiona  of  this 
act,  used  or  required  to  be  used  in  its  Bervicea  to  the  public  within  the 
state  of  Kansas,  whenever  it  dooms  the  ascertainment  of  such  valas

rates.  Joint  rates,  tolls  and  chargea,  and  in  making  such  valuations  they 
may  avail  themselves  of  any  reports,  records  or  other  things  available 
to  them  in  the  office  of  any  national,  state  or  municipal  officer  or  board." 

As  occasion  has  arisen,  valuations  and  investigations  of  the  aerrice 
and  rates  of  other  utilities  have  been  made.  As  the  work  haa  broadened 
additiottal  assistance  haa  been  employed,  until  at  the  present  time  the 
force  in  this  departmoit  is  composed  of  six  men — electrical  engineer,

PR£PA11ATI0N   OF  TOtUB. 

The  first  work  was  the  formulating  and  printing  of  thirty-six  different 
blank  forms,  covering  in  detail  every  item  that  enters  into  the  construc- 
tion of  a  railroad.  Some  of  these  forms  call  for  thirty  or  more  different 
details.  The  classification  corresponds  to  "the  classification  of  expcoidi- 
tares  for  road  and  equipment  aa  prescribed  by  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  for  steam  roads." 

coSperatiok  of  railway  cohpanibs. 

Representatives  of  the  railway  companies  interested,  botti  legal  and 
«igineering,  were  present  at  a  preliminary  conference  held  at  the  t^ce 
of  the  Commission  on  May  11,  1911,  at  which  the  whole  subject  of  valua- 
tion was  discuaaed  and  the  methods  to  be  pursued  as  planned  by  the 
Commiesion  explained. 

Sample  sets  of  blank  forms  and  instructions  for  compiling  the  in- 
ventory and  for  preparing  the  right-of-way  maps  and  profiles  were  dia- 
tributed  to  the  representatives,  and  a  second  conference  held  on  June  6, 
1911,  at  which  the  forms  and  methods  of  compiling  the  requisite  data 
were  thoroughly  discussed.

24  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

In  general,  it  was  required  of  the  railway  companies  that  they  divide 
their  lines  in  this  state  into  convenient  sections,  approximately  100  miles 
long,  reporting  the  physical  items  in  rotation  for  each  section,  beginniag 
at  one  end  and  proceeding  to  the  other,  choosing  the  sections  in  soch 
manner  that  the  field  inspection  may  begin  at  one  end  of  the  line  snd 
pasa  successively  over  the  different  sections,  each  section  being  complete 
in  itself,  except  in  the  equipment  items,  which  will  be  reported  for  the 
entire  line  in  Kansas,  prorated  on  the  locomotive  or  car  miles  made  in 
Kansas  to  the  miles  made  on  the  entire  syst^n. 

This  inventory  is  required  in  duplicate,  one  copy  to  be  filed  in  the 
oflUce  of  the  Commission  and  to  constitute  the  railway  companies'  ap- 
praisal, and  the  other  to  be  used  by  the  engineering  department  in  check- 
ing the  items  in  the  field. 

The  appraisal  is  of  the  property  as  it  was  June  SO,  1911.  Right-of- 
way  maps  and  profiles  covering  the  entire  line  in  this  state,  also  blue 
prints  of  both  sub-  and  superstructure  of  large  or  special  bridges  and 
other  structures,  standard  pile  bridges,  stoekyards  and  track  plans,  copies 
of  recent  construction  contracts,  and  final  estimates  or  other  special  data 
that  would  assist  in  the  determination  of  a  correct  and  reasonable  ap- 
praisal were  required  to  be  furnished  to  the  Commission. 

The  plan  of  requiring  the  railway  companies  to  furnish  tiiis  data 
has  met  with  the  approval  of  all  the  companies  interested,  and  it  is 
believed  that  this  method  results  in  a  more  accurate  appraisal  thsD 
could  be  obtained  by  engineers  employed  by  your  Commission  who  went 
into  the  field  and  collected  their  own  data,  because  the  railway  company 
has  access  to  records  and  a  familiarity  with  the  property  that  coold  not 
be  obtained  by  any  one  not  in  the  employ  of  the  company.  It  also  in- 
sures a  more  accurate  report  to  be  able  to  check  the  inventory  of  another 
and  add  the  corrections. 

Again,  the  expense  is  borne  principally  by  the  railroad  companies. 
although,  of  course,  ulWmately  paid  by  the  shippers,  however;  Uie  e*- 
pense,  if  borne  entirely  by  the  state,  would  be  several  times  as  great 
as  in  the  present  method;  and  inasmuch  as  the  railway  eompsnies  would 
check  the  entire  work  from  their  own  records,  it  is  better  for  them  to 
do  it  in  the  first  place.  Nearly  all  tiie  larger  companies  have  established 
departments,  composed  of  trained  men  with  a  high-class  engineer  at 
their  head,  to  cany  on  this  work.  Frequent  conferences  have  been  held 
with  the  representatives  of  the  railroad  companies  for  the  purpose  of 
securing  uniformity  in  their  reports,  and  it  is  believed  that  a  tborou^ 
discussion  of  the  different  items  will  eliminate  some  of  the  factors  that 
have  been  the  cause  of  needlessly  cumbering  the  records  with  expert 
testimony  in  some  of  the  rate  cases  in  which  appraisals  have  been  used. 
The  railway  companies  interested  have  organized  an  association  among 
themselves  for  the  purpose  of  securing  uniformity  in  the  reports.  They 
have  held  meetings  once  or  twice  a  month  from  the  inception  of  the 
work.  While  it  is  impossible  to  agree  upon  all  items,  it  is  believed  that 
a  great  deal  has  been  accomplished  that  will  simplify  the  preseotatioD 
of  the  appraisal  should  the  same  ever  be  used  in  any  court  proceedings.

FIELD  INSPSCTION. 

As  soon  SB  the  companies'  inventories  are  received  they  are  taken 
out  on  the  line  by  the  Commission's  engineers  and  a  thorough  inspection 
made  of  each  item;  its  present  physical  condition  is  noted  and  corrections 
-  made-  The  accuracy  of  the  profiles  is  checked  in  a  general  way;  the 
topography  and  soil  conditions  of  land  through  which  the  railway  passes 
are  noted.  Frequent  stops  are  made  to  meaaure  width  of  subgrade, 
width  and  depth  of  ballast,  to  count  number  of  ties  to  rail  for  several 
successive  lengths,  to  inspect  bridges,  culverts,  etc. 

Accurate  record  is  kept  of  the  beginning  and  ending,  and  kind  of 
fences,  number  of  signs,  highway  crossings,  etc.;  all  buildings  are 
measured  and  water  and  fuel  stations  thoroughly  checked,  shop  ma- 
chinery inspected,  etc.  These  inspections  have  been  made  on  foot  and 
by  gasoline  motor  section  cars. 

COMPILATION  OF  DATA. 

After  the  field  inspection  the  report  is  brought  to  the  Commission's 
office  and  a  cost  price  placed  on  each  item;  grading  quantities  calculated 
from  the  profiles,  and  right-of-way  acreages  from  the  right-of-way  maps. 

ITEMS  CONSIDERED  IN   APPRAISALS. 

In  making  a  valuation  of  railway  property  many  things  must  be  taken 
into  consideratiOD.  In  Uie  case  of  Smythe  v,  Ames,  18  Supreme  Court 
Reports,  418-484,  the  supreme  court  of  the  United  States  specifically 
pointed  out  some  of  the  things  which  must  be  taken  into  consideration, 
in  the  following  language: 

"We  hold  however  that  the  basis  ot  all  calculations  as  to  the  reascn- 
ableness  of  rates  to  be  charged  by  a  corporation  maintaining  a  highway 
under  legislative  sanction  ir.uft  be  the  fair  value  of  the  property  being 
used  by  it  for  the  convenience  3f  the  public.  And  in  order  to  ascertain 
that  value,  the  original  cost  of  constructi:n,  the  amount  expended  in  per- 
manent improvements,  the  amount  and  market  value  of  its  bonds  and 
stock,  the  present  as  compared  with  the  original  cost  of  constructian,  the 
probable  earning  capacity  of  the  property  under  particular  rates  pre- 
scribed by  statute,  and  the  sum  required  to  meet  operating  expenses,  are 
all  matters  for  consideraticn  and  are  to  be  Riven  such  weight  as  may  be 
just  and  right  in  each  case.  We  do  not  say  that  there  may  not  be  other 
naatters  to  be  regarded  in  estimating  the  value  of  property.  What  the 
company  is  entitled  to  ask  is  a  fair  return  upon  the  value  of  that  which 
it  employs  for  the  public  convenience.  On  the  other  hand,  what  the  publi; 
is  entitled  to  demand  is  that  no  more  be  exacted  from  it  far  the  use  of 
public  highway  than  the  services  rendered  it  are  reasonably  worth." 

Interstate  Commerce  Commissioner  Lane,  in  the  Western  Advance  Rate 
Case,  says:  "Perhaps  the  nearest  approximation  of  the  fairest  standard 
is  the  bona  fide  investment  .  .  .  sacrifice  made  by  the  owners  of  the 
property,  .  .  .  considering  as  part  of  the  investment  all  shortages  of 
returns  that  there  may  be  in  the  early  years  of  the  enterprise.  Upon  this, 
taking  the  life  history  of  the  road  through  a  number  of  years,  its  pro- 
moters are  entitled  to  a  reasonable  return.  This,  however,  is  manifestly 
limited;  for  a  return  should  not  be  given  upan  wastefulness,  mismanage- 
ment or  poor  judgment,  and  always  there  is  present  the  restriction  that 
no  more  than  a  reasonable  rate  can  be  charged." 

In  this  state  we  have  undertaken  to  secure  the  cost  to  reproduce  the

property  new  and  the  present  physical  value.  It  is  hoped  to  secnre  the 
original  cost  later.  The  other  factors  mentioned  in  the  Smythe  v.  Anes 
can  are  principally  accounting  items. 

THE  COST  TO  BEPBODUCE  NEW. 

"The  cost  to  reproduce  new"  is  an  estimate  of  the  cost  of  building  the 
property  in  its  entirety;  that  is,  financing,  purchasing  or  condemning  the 
right  of  way,  constructing  the  road  bed,  buildings,  etc.,  just  as  they  exist 
at  the  date  of  appraisal,  assuming  that  all  railroad  property  has  been 
wiped  out  of  existence  and  is  to  be  replaced  with  new  materials;  prices  of 
materials  and  labor  as  of  the  date  of  the  appraisal  This  is  an  impos- 
sible assumption. 

THE  FRESENT  PHYSICAL  VALUE. 

"The  present  physical  value"  is  an  estimate  of  the  value  of  the  physical 
property  as  it  exists  to-day  in  its  depreciated  or  appreciated  condition, 
and  of  necessity  takes  into  consideration  the  existence  of  the  proper^ 
throughout  its  actual  past  life.  Several,  things  must  be  borne  in  mind. 
Efficiency  is  not  a  measure  of  cost  or  value.  Cost  and  value  are  two  dif- 
ferent items.  There  may  be  several  values  depending  upon  the  purpose 
for  which  value  is  estimated,  but  cost  is  a  fixed  amount  for  all  purposes. 

A  partially  worn  tie  or  locomotive  that  has  seen  several  years'  service 
may  have  as  good  an  operating  efllciency  as  when  new,  but  the  value  of 
the  unit  to  render  its  peculiar  service,  when  measnred  by  the  remaining 
available  life  of  the  unit,  is  constantly  decreasing.  It  is  the  depreciated 
value  due  to  the  unit's  depreciated  condition  that  is  represented  by  the 
appraisal  headed  "Present  Physical  Value,"  or,  in  other  words,  it  is  the 
cost  new,  less  the  depreciation  due  to  use  or  weather  stress,  obsolesence  or 
inadequacy. 

ORIGINAL  COSTS. 

Actual  original  costs  are  extremely  diiBcult  to  secure,  for  many 
reasons.  Quite  frequently  the  original  records  have  been  destroyed,  ae- 
cidently  or  otherwise,  and  in  a  good  many  cases  no  accurate  records  were 
kept,  and  frequently  in  the  exchange  of  properties  the  original  cost  rec- 
ords were  not  transferred;  so  that  in  the  case  of  old  roads  it  is  nearly 
always  necessary  to  estimate,  in  part  at  least,  the  original  cost. 

RIGHT  or  WAY. 

There  is  no  other  item  that  has  been  discussed  as  much  as  right-of-wv 
values.  The  courts  have  held  that  the  railroad  company,  although  sn 
investor  in  land  dedicated  to  a  public  use,  and  not  having  a  fee  simple  in 
the  land  acquired  by  caninent  domain,  is  neverleas  entitled  to  any  in- 
crease in  value,  regardless  of  the  cause  of  increase. 

If  the  appraisal  is  of  "the  cost  to  reproduce  new,"  land  must  be  treated 
as  any  other  item,  and  an  estimate  made  of  the  coet  of  securing  the  right 
of  way,  including  all  severance  and  other  damages,  as  if  the  present  rigbt 
of  way,  station  grounds  and  terminals  were  not  owned  by  the  compssy, 
but  had  to  be  secured  by  the  methods  commonly  pursued,  all  improve- 
ments and  conditions  of  abutting  property  being  as  they  actually  exist  at 
the  date  of  appraisal. 

If  the  appraisal  is  of  the  "present  physical  value,"  the  elannt  of  tiae

or  past  existence  of  the  property  as  railroad  right  of  way  must  be  con- 
^dered.  The  land  itself  has  increased  in  value  in  proportion  to  the  in- 
crease of  abutting  property,  but  the  money  paid  for  severance  damages, 
engineering,  legal  expenses  and  other  expenses  of  acquisition  has  not  in- 
creased, and  should  be  stated  as  of  original  costs.  When  pnce  accounted 
for  this  item  is  settled  for  all  time. 

For  the  purpose  of  securing  the  present  market  value  of  the  railroad 
right  of  way  and  station  grounds  if  the  Fame  were  devoted  to  other  pur- 
poses, the  assessed  value  of  all  farm  land  through  which  the  railway  ex- 
tends and  of  all  abutting  lands  in  towns  and  cities  was  secured  from  the 
Tax  Commission  and  the  records  in  each  county.  We  also  secured  a  rec- 
ord of  all  bona  fide  sales  (that  is,  excluding  quitclaim,  foreclosure  deeds, 
etc.,  and  deeds  for  nominal  considerations)  and  assessments  in  the  last 
three  years  of  lands  in  the  vicinity  and  of  a  similar  class  to  those  occu- 
pied by  the  railroad  right  of  way;  also  the  assessment  ratio  of  each  town- 
ship (that  is,  the  ratio  between'  market  value  as  evidenced  by  bona  fide 
sales  and  the  assessment) ;  also  opinions  of  experts,  real-estate  agents, 
bank  cashiers  and  others  as  to  the  fair  average  market  value. 

For  determining  the  amount  of  probable  damages  to  be  paid  by  the 
railway  company,  or  excess  or  multiple  cost,  records  of  purchases  of  right 
of  way  and  condemnation  suits,  etc.,  for  a  number  of  lines  were  compiled 
and  the  resulting  figures  compared  with  the  market  value,  at  the  time  of 
purchase,  of  the  land  through  which  the  railroad  passes.  From  these 
figures  it  appears  that  the  total  cost  of  the  right  of  way  for  extended 
sections  ranges  from  two  and  one-fourth  to  two  and  one-half  times  the 
market  value  of  the  property  through  which  it  passes,  while  individual 
tracts  range  from  donations  to  ten  times  the  market  value. 

Research  has  also  shown  that  the  multiple  is  larger  for  farm  property 
than  for  town  property,  and  that  the  larger  the  town  and  more  expensive 
the  land  the  less  the  multiple  or  increased  cost  becomes.  It  is  difficult  to 
assign  a  ratio  that  will  fit  all  cases.  However,  it  seems  to  be  true  that 
a  right  of  way  purchased  through  farm  property  will  cost  about  two  and 
three-fourths  times  the  fair  market  value,  while  if  the  property  has  to  be 
condemned  it  will  cost  over  three  times  the  fair  market  value.  Small 
towns  and  villages  will  cost  about  two  and  one-half  times,  towns  of 
10,000  population  will  cost  a  little  over  two  times,  while  large  cities  of 
over  100,000  population  will  cost  from  one  and  one-half  to  two  times. 

The  fact  must  not  be  lost  sight  of  that,  although  land  is  purchased  or 
condemned,  it  frequently  happens  that  a  bonus  is  paid  to  the  company 
soAlcient  to  offset  this  excess  cost  and  sometimes  to  pay  for  the  right  of 
way  itself.  Again,  in  estimating  damages  to  be  paid,  it  is  generally  con- 
sidered that  the  farm  as  a  whole  has  been  damaged;  that  is,  the  damage 
is  assessed  at  so  much  per  acre  for  the  remaining  land.  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  the  farm  has  not  been  damaged  to  any  appreciable  extent,  as  is 
evidenced  by  the  fact  that  the  property  through  which  a  railroad  passes 
sells  for  as  high  a  price  as  similar  adjacent  land,  and  if  another  railroad 
passea  through  the  same  property,  or  it  is  desired  to  buy  an  additional 
!4rip  alongside  the  old  right  of  wi^,  the  same  per  cent  of  excess  cost  for 
damages  has  to  be  paid,  showing  that  this  question  of  damages  is  almost

entirely  a  sentimental  one  as  regards  land.  Of  course  this  does  not  apply 
to  exceptional  cases,  where  a  man's  bam  is  separated  from  his  faonse  in 
it  is  necessary  to  remove  some  of  his  buildings,  destroy  wells,  orchards,  etf. 

In  estimatinjf  the  amount  actually  paid  in  excess  of  the  fair  market 
value,  to  be  used  in  the  appraisal  of  the  "present  physical  value,"  the 
average  farm  values  in  the  state  of  Kansas  for  the  last  fifty  years  han 
been  plotted,  assuming  that  roads  built  prior  to  1875  were  constru:ted 
almost  entirely  through  farm  or  wild  lands  with  only  a  few  small  towns, 
and  that  those  constructed  more  recently  have  met  with  larger  towns  and 
better  improved  farms.  A  second  curve  has  been  plotted,  with  values 
three  times  the  average  farm  values  for  1S60,  decreasing  to  two  and  one- 
half  times  the  average  farm  value  for  1910. 

This  is  an  assumption  in  excefs  of  the  facts,  as  a  great  deal  of  the 
main-line  right  of  way  in  this  state  was  secured  through  United  States 
government  land  grants,  and  many  miles  of  branch  lines  have  been 
donated  or  the  money  to  pay  for  the  right  of  way  has  been  raised  and 
turned  over  to  the  constructing  company  by  the  county.  This  ia  offset 
to  some  extent  by  excessive  cost  of  line  revisions. 

The  space  between  thefe  curves,  representing  the  excess  original  cost 
of  the  right  of  way  above  the  market  value  of  the  land  at  that  time,  is  the 
following  per  cent  of  the  present  market  value  for  the  stated  period. 
Therefore,  knowing  the  date  of  construction  and  the  present  market  value 
of  the  property  through  which  the  railway  passes,  reference  to  the  table 
will  give  the  per  cent  of  the  "present  market  value"  that  represents  the 
original  excess  cost.

/   ITEMS. 

Taking  up  the  other  items  in  the  classification,  there  are  none  that  are 
not  subje;t  to  well-known  current  costs,  except  engineering  and  engineer- 
ing superintendence.  However,  items  "11 — ballast"  and  "12 — tracklayiOE 
and  surfacing"  are  subject  to  considerable  controversy,  due  to  the  fart 
that  governing  conditions  are  different  for  nearly  every  job — «o  mneh  m 
that  the  item  of  tracklaying  alone  may  vary  from  $500  to  as  much  ** 
J4000  per  mile  in  exceptional  cases.  This  requires  a  study  of  what  is  » 
fair  average  condition  and  resultant  cost.  To  one  unfamiliar  with  the 
system  of  accounting  adopted  by  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
this  item  will  seem  unduly  high  and  the  ballast  item  low.  This  rosulU  h«-

The  present  physical  value  of  all  roadway  items  is  determined  by  in- 
Bpectfon,  supplemented  by  theoretical  life  tables. 

EARNINGS   AND  OPERATING  EXPENSES  DUBING  CONETBUCTION. 

In  constructing  a  section  of  line  one  hundred  miles  in  length  the  prac- 
tice is  to  eatabliBh  a  material  yard  at  the  end  nearest  to  the  source  of 
supply  of  the  materials  of  construction.  In  estimating  the  coat  of  differ- 
ent items,  such  ae  rail,  ties,  etc.,  freight  Is  added  from  the  point  of  origin 
to  the  material  yard.  Additional  charge  is  made  for  hauling  out  of  ma- 
terials by  team  ahead  of  tracklaying,  such  as  pile  bridge  material,  cul- 
verts, etc. 

The  charge  for  hauling  out  track  materials  from  the  material  yard  is 
taken  care  of  in  the  tracklaying  account.  The  item  for  "Earnings  and 
operating  expenses  during  construction"  covers  the  charge  for  train 
service  and  labor  neceseary  for  all  material  that  has  not  previously  been 
taken  care  of,  such  as  station  buildings  and  section  houses,  permanent 
water  and  coal  stations,  etc.,  and  maintenance  of  track  during  construc- 
tion period. 

ENGINEERING  AND  BNfilNEERlNC  St^PBRINTENDENCE. 

Extensive  research  has  demonstrated  that  the  cost  of  this  item  amounts 
to  about  4  per  cent  of  the  cost  of  all  roadway  items  plus  the  cost  of  the 
right  ot  way.  This  does  not  mean  that  4  per  cent  of  each  item  is  charge- 
able to  engineering  and  engineering  superintendence,  but  that  the  total 
cost  is  equivalent  to  4  per  cent  of  the  total  cost  of  the  roadway  and  right 
of  way.  There  are,  of  course,  exceptional  cases  where  excessive  cost  of 
right  of  way  or  extensive  shops,  etc.,  will  affect  the  percentage. 

EQUIPMENT. 

Eince  equipment  is  transferred  from  place  to  place,  it  is  necessary  to 
appraise  the  entire  equipment  of  the  system  and  prorate  the  same  to  the 
state  in  the  same  ratio  that  the  equipment  mileage  of  each  class  in  Kansas 
hears  to  the  equipment  mileage  for  the  entire  system,  with  the  exception 
that  the  work  equipment  is  prorated  in  the  same  ratio  that  the  entire 
eqnipment  mileage  in  Kansas  bears  to  that  of  the  system. 

This  division  will  lead  to  an  error  where  the  lines  in  the  state  are  not 
a  fair  criterion  of  the  average  lines  of  the  system.  In  that  case  it  is  nec- 
essary to  appraise  only  such  engines  as  operate  intra-  and  interstate, 
prorating  the  interstate  on  a  mileage  basis. 

Since  it  is  impossible  to  perscnally  inspect  all  the  equipment,  the 
present  physical  value  is  determined  by  depreciation  tables  based  on  a 
study  of  the  average  life  of  millions  of  dollars'  worth  of  equipment. 

GENERAL  EXPENDITURES. 

General  expenditures  include: 

Law  expenses,  except  those  incurred  in  connection  with  condemnation 
of  right  of  way  or  station  grounds,  which  are  charged  to  right  of  way.

Interest  during  eonatruction.  The  determination  of  this  account  re- 
quires an  estimate  of  the  len^h  of  time  required  to  ccHistruct  the  pai- 
ticular  section  under  conai deration,  and  the  assumption  that  all  the  money 
for  coRRtruction  will  not  be  required  during  the  entire  period  of  construc- 
tion, but  that  the  funds  will  only  be  taken  out  of  circulation  as  required, 
and  the  resalt  will  be  equivalent  to  paying  interest  for  the  full  period  im 
only  half  the  total  sum  required  or  for  half  the  period  on  the  entire  eum 
required. 

Contingeneieg.  This  item  is  assumed  to  cover  all  unforeseen  expenses 
that  it  is  impossible  for  human  experience  to  forecast.  Under  the 
method  used  of  appraising  a  railroad  after  construction,  when  almo^t 
every  item  can  be  seen  and  duly  accounted  for,  this  item  is  much  smaller 
than  in  making  a  similar  allowance  for  a  projected  line.  However,  ttttit 
are  always  some  features  that  enter  into  construction  accounts  that  are 
only  apparent  during  construction,  and  no  amount  of  inspection  smnetime 
after  completion  will  disclose  their  existence,  such  as  damages  resultioe 
from  floods  when  banks  are  soft  and  foundations  open,  etc.;  damage  to 
abutting  property  due  t«  construction  operations,  sink  holes,  etc.  Also, 
there  is  no  inventory  made  that  is  absolutely  perfect.  Water  lines,  drain?, 
etc.,  underground  are  often  overlooked,  for  instance.  As  stated  above,  the 
greater  care  ue«d  in  the  appraisal  the  less  this  item  becomes. 

Other  expenditurea  consist  of  organization  expenses,  salaries  and 
expenses  of  executive  and  general  officers  of  a  road  under  construction. 
clerks  in  general  offices  engaged  on  construction  accounts  or  work,  rent 
and  repair  of  general  offices,  etc. 

It  is  customary  to  express  these  accounts  as  per  cents  of  the  total  ex- 
penditures for  all  other  items.  Extensive  investigations  have  been  made 
to  determine  what  constitutes  a  reasonable  and  fair  percentage.  From 
these  researches  it  has  been  determined  that  9M  per  cent  of  the  total  of 
all  other  items  will  cover  the  charge  far  "general  expenditures"  for  a  road 
in  Kansas. 

PER   MILE  OF  BO>D. 

Figures  given  as  the  cost  per  mile  of  road  are  average  figures  only,  and 
can  not  be  used  as  the  cost  cf  constructing  any 'one  mile  of  line;  for  in- 
stance, because  the  entire  line  is  not  fenced,  the  average  coEt  per  mile 
does  not  represent  what  one  full  mile  of  dnble-ljne  fence  would  cost,  II 
does  represent,  however,  the  average  cost  per  mile  of  the  line  under  con- 
sideration as  constructed. 

ADAPTATION  AND  SOLIDIFICATION  OF  ROADBED. 

Nothing  is  allowed  for  the  item  known  as  "adaptation  and  solidification 
of  roadbed,"  except  as  reflected  in  the  condition  of  the  roadbed  and  ballast 
at  the  time  of  making  the  inspection.  This  item  has  been  given  consider- 
able prominence  recently  in  values  placed  by  railway  companies  and 
others  engaged  in  making  railway  appraisals,  and  is  added  because  of  the 
work  done  in  repairing  the  damages  to  track  in  line  and  surface,  due  to 
settlement  of  embankments,  to  the  cost  of  clearing  out  ditches  and  cuts, 
etc.  While  there  is  no  question  that  such  expanse  is  necessary,  it  is  an 
item  properly  chargeable  to  maintenance,  and  is  so  charged  by  the  operat- 
ing railway  companies  and  paid  for  out  of  the  revenues,  the  same  as  re-

ncwing:  worn-oat  ties,  and  should  not  constitute  an  item  of  physical  valua- 
tion.  The  fact  that  this  work  is  neceaaary  proves  that  there  has  been  de- 
preciation in  the  physical  condition  of  the  track,  due  to  the  action  of  the 
elements  and  the  pounding  of  the  trains,  and  this  depreciation  has  to  be 
met  until  the  embankment  becomes  solid.  The  very  moat  that  could  be 
allowed  would  be  that  the  roadbed  is  maintained  at  100  per  cent. 

INTANGIBLG  VALUES. 

Nothing  has  been  allowed  for  intangible  values,  such  as  going  values, 
good  will,  development  cost,  franchiae,  the  cost  of  securing  business,  etc. 
Neither  has  any  consideration  been  given  diacount  and  commission  on 
bonds. 

AFPOBTIONHSNT  OF  VALUES. 

The  proper  apportionment  of  values  between  inter  and  intra  passenger 
and  freight  business  is  one  of  the  most  important  problems  that  con- 
fronts any  state,  as  a  comparatively  small  error  will  affect  seriously  any 
rate  under  consideration. 

This  is  to  a  great  extent  an  accounting  proposition,  but  is  so  closely 
allied  to  the  engineering  determination  of  values  as  to  require  coopera- 
tion between  the  engineering  and  the  accounting  departments  in  its  de- 
termination. 

It  is  intended  to  make  a  more  complete  report  along  this  line  at  a  later 
date. 

UNION  PACIFIC  APPRAISAL. 

Attached  hereto  are  a  number  of  tables  showing  the  "cost  to  reproduce

First  Report. 


ORIGINAL  COST  OF  RIGHT  OF  WAY. 


Th«  treatment  accorded  to  land  values  in  any  appraisal  ol  railway 
property  affects  materially  the  ultimate  result. 

In  the  appraisal  of  "the  coat  to  reproduce  new,"  the  value  of  the 
land  must  be  determined  by  estimating  what  would  be  the  cost  to  secure 
the  right  of  way  and  station  grounds  by  the  usual  method,  assuming 
that  all  surrounding  conditions  are  as  they  exist  at  the  date  of  appraisal, 
but  that  the  railway  land  is  vacant  and  in  the  possession  of  outside 
parties.  - 

There  are  a  number  of  factors  that  enter  into  the  value  of  an  exist- 
ing railway  right  of  way,  two  that  are  peculiar  to  this  class  of  property 
being  continuity  and  strategic  location.  Very  often  a  narrow  strip  of 
latid  that  could  be  used  for  no  other  purpose  has  an  extrranely  high 
value  for  railway  purposes,  due  to  the  fact  that  it  is  the  only  availabte 
route,  whereas  otherwise  it  would  be  valueless,  although  it  may  have 
coat  the  railway  company  practically  nothing. 

Again,  an  entrance  into  the  heart  of  a  city  obtained  when  tiie  city 
was  small  may  have  become  of  almost  inestimable  value  to  the  operating 
railway,  as  for  instance,  the  terminal  pn^>erty  of  the  Illinois  Central 
Railway  in  Chicago. 

Appraisals  are  used  for  many  purposes:  to  control  the  issue  of  bond» 
and  slock,  for  taxation,  for  rate  making,  for  purposes  of  sale,  fair 
ecoocanic  studies  of  maintenance,  etc 

'  The  value  of  the  property  will  vary  for  each  of  these  different  pur- 
poses, and  for  a  proper  determination  of  these  values  the  original  coBt, 
as  well  as  the  cost  to  reproduce  new,  and  a  number  of  other  factors 
Amst  be  determined. 

WheQier  a  public  utility  is  entitled  to  a  return  upon  the  increase  in 
the  vahie  of  land,  or  as  commonly  e^tpressed,  the  unearned  increment, 
is  a  much  mooted  question. 

In  the  case  of  the  Illinois  Central  Railway  Terminal  in  Chicago,  cited 
above,  the  increase  in  the  land  value  alMie  would  justify  any  rate-  Uiat 
baa  ever  been  or  ever  will  be  charged  by  that  company,  if  the  same  were 
baaed  upon  the  cost  to  purchase  that  property  to-day. 

The  quasi-public  character  of  a  transportation  company  is  dae  par- 
tially to  its  right  of  eminent  domain,  and  the  argument  is  mads  that 
tha  company  is  entitled  to  merely  the  cost  of  procuring  its  right  of 
way  and  station  grounds  when  the  appraisal' is  made  as  &  basis  for 
determining  what  is  a  fair  and  reasonable  rate  of  return  apon  the  in- 


'  Without  entering  upon  an  extended  discussion  of  this  question,  a 
table  cbradng  the  original  cost  of  the  right  of  way  of  the  Union  Pacific 
Railroad  Company  is  attached,  it  being  the  intention  to  furnish  as  much 
data  aa  possible  that  may  be  required  to  assist  in  solving  the  problems 
to  wliidi  tfaie  appraisal  may  be  applied. 

This  original  cost  was  obtained  f rOm  the  records  in  each  county 
through  which  the  lines  of  the  Union  Paclfh  railroad  pass.

REPORT.OF  WORK  OF  ENGINEERING  DEPARTMENT  ON 
ELECTRIC  SERVICE  AND  RATES. 

B7  T.  H.  HxHSOH,  SUetrieal  GuiriimT. 

In  accordance  with  the  provisionB  of  section  38,  chapter  238,  Laws  of 
1911,  two  appeals  have  been  made  to  the  CommisEioa  to  adjuvt  latea  tot 
electric  service,  where  the  city  council  and  managrement  of  the  electric 
company  were  unable  to  agree  as  to  what  was  a  proper  and  jost  rate. 
The  problem  in  each  case  was  the  determination  of  the  cost  of  service  and 
establishment  of  a  rate  which  would  distribute  the  total  cost  equitabtf 
and  without  discrimination  between  the  various  consumers.  The  total 
cost  consists  of  a  large  number  of  items,  which  fall  under  aome  one  of  tlw 
following  heads.  , 

1.  Operating  expense:  (a)  Generation;  (6)  transmiaaion;  (c)  dis- 
tribution; {d)  commercial;  (e)  general. 

2.  Taxes. 

3.  Depreciation. 

4.  Profits. 

These  expenses  were  determined  by  an  examination  of  the  books  and 
property  and  by.  making  a  valuation  of  the  plant.  A  complete  inventoiy 
of  all  the  material  and  apparatus  used  in  furnishing  service  was  roads, 
paying  especial  attention  to  age,  condition  and  other  features  whidi 
would  influence  the  value.  The  cost  new  in  place  was  estimated  iton  bjr 
item.  In  order  to  arrive  at  the  value  of  each  item  in  its  present  condi- 
tion, the  value  of  this  item  aa  scrap  was  subtracted  from  the  cost  new. 
This  gave  the  depreciable  value  of  that  item,  vis.;  that  value  iriiicfa  vill 
entirely  disappear  during  the  life  of  the  equipment.  Frwu  tables  giving 
the  average  life  of  various  parts  of  the  plant,  which  are  varied  to  suit 
local  conditions,  and  the  age  of  these  parts,  the  amount  of  depreciation 
was  calculated. 

The  difference  between  cost  new  and  depreciation  gives  the  present 
value.  The  depreciation  may  be  calculated  by  atraigfat-line  or  siaJdng- 
fund  methods.  Both  assume  that  such  a  sum  should  be  set  aside  yearly 
in  a  fund  that  will  accumulate  to  a  sum  equal  to  replace  the  item  at  the 
end  of  its  useful  life.  The  straight-line  basis  does  not  consider  interest 
on  these  yearly  deposits,  while  the  sinking-fund  method  does.  Since  the 
fund  and  the  present  value  of  the  item  together  should  always  equal  the 
cost  new,  the  present  value  may  be  obtained  by  taking  the  difference 
between  the  cost  new  and  the  assomed  accumulated  fund.  In  additioD 
to  the  items  of  the  inventory,  consideration  was  given  to  engineering, 
supervision,  interest  during  construction,  contingencies,  etc.,  fn  arriving 
at  the  cost  new  and  present  value  of  the  tangible  property.  As  a  basis 
for  rates  in  addition  to  the  present  value  of  tlie  physical  property,  an 
allowance  of  10  to  12  per  cent  of  the  yearly  gross  revenues  was  made  for 
working  capital.  This  item*coTers  stores  and  supplies  and- cash  on  hand. 
An  allowance  was  also  made  for  going-concern  value.

First  Report. 

COBT  OF  SERVICC 

In  order  to  make  a  just  rate  to  varipua  classes 
necessary  to  know  the  coot  of  the  electricity  at  the  switchboard,  the  cost 
of  distribution,  the  cost  of  readii^  the  meters  and  of  bookkeeping  and 
collection,  cost  of  general  supervision,  etc.;  also  the  number  of  kilowatt 
hours  sold.  By  kDOving  these  costs  it  is  possible  to  compute  how  much 
each  class  of  consumers  cost  the  company,  or,  conversely,  what  each  con- 
sumer should  pay  the  company  for  the  service  received. 

With  this  in  mind,  vouchers  showing  the  items  of  expense  were  ex- 
amined and  the  amaunts  distributed  to  the  accounts  in  which  they  prop- 
erly belonged.  This  was  necessary  because  the  books  had  not  been  kept 
in  a  manner  suitable  for  the  determination  of  the  actual  costs.  This  was 
also  difficult  because  considerable  time  had  elapsed  since  the  ezpendituns 
were  made,  and  the  conditions  under  which  they  were  made  were  not 
known.  Where  two  utilitieB  were  operated  jointly,  a  certain  amount  of 
expense  was  incurred  for  the  benefit  of  both.  This  expense  was  appor- 
tioned to  each  service  in  the  same  ratio  as  the  cost  was  incurred.  Taxes, 
depredation  and  profits  were  the  items  which  depend  upon  the  value  of 
the  plant. 

The  depreciation  per  year  was  determined  by  dividing  the  depreciable 
values  of  the  property  by  the  average  life  of  the  plant.  The  average  life 
of  an  electric  plant  is  about  17  years,  thus  making  S.9  per  cent  of  the  rate 
of  depreciation  on  the  depreciable  property,  or  6.4  per  cent  on  the  total 
physical  value,  with  no  interest  accumulations.  With  the  fund  drawing 
2K  per  cent  interest,  4%  per  cent  of  cost  new  of  the  plant  would  suflice. 
Profits  to  the  company  should  be  such  as  will  induce  investors  to  de- 
velop tile  electric  utility  business.  Consideration  must  here  be  given  to 
the  efficiency  of  the  management,  since  to  allow  the  same  percentage 
profit  to  the  poorly  managed  plant  as  to  the  efficiently  managed  one  would 
be  a  hardship  upon  the  consumers  of  the  poorer  plant  and  unjust  to  the 
owners  of  the  efficiently  operated  plant.  The  service  must  also  be  con- 
sidered as  a  factor  in  determining  the  per  cent  of  profit  allowable.  How- 
ever, to  allow  a  less  profit  to  the  plant  furnishing  poor  service  tends  to 
make  it  impossible  to  improve  the  service.  The  better  method  is  to  re- 
quire the  management  of  all  plants  to  maintain  the  saine  standard 
service,  and  thereby  eliminate  the  consideration  of  the  service  as  a  factor 
of  the  rate  of  return.  Another  factor  for  consideration  is  the  over- 
investment in  a  plant  of  larger  capacity  than  is  necessary  to  supply  the  - 
demand  of  the  cnuumer. 

METHOD  OF  ISmtHlNING  THE  FROrER  RATK. 

A  study  of  the  cost  of  electricity  and  cmiditions  under  which  it  is  pro- 
duced shows  that  a  large  investment  is  necessary  to  meet  the  require- 
ments, and  that  a  large  part  of  equipment  representing  this  investment 
is  idle  most  of  the  time.  Due  to  the  simultaneous  demands  of  the  light- 
ing consumers  between  dusk  and  nine  o'clock  in  the  evening,  there  de- 
velops what  is  called  the  "peak  load."  This  peak  load  determines  the 
capacity  of  the  spparatus,  and  therefore  the  investment.  Interest  on  this 
investment,  taxes,  many  general  expenses,  insurance,  ageing  and  loss  of 
value  of  equipment  and  many  other  expenses  remain  the  same  per  day

whether  the  plant  is  operated  five  or  twenty-foar  hours.  Therefore, 
every  electrie-liKht  company  tries  to  secure  a  power  load  for  the  boars 
when  there  is  no  demand  for  electricity  for  lighting  purposes.  In  this 
way  the  total  output  is  increased  and  the  cost  per  kilowatt  honr  is 
lowered.  The  long-hour  user,  therefore,  costs  lesa  per  kilowatt  hour  than 
does  the  short-hour  user.  The  equitable  distribation  of  the  cost  re- 
quires that  the  expenses  be  divided  into  output  costs  and  demand  costs. 
The  rate  must  include  both  costs,  and  may  be  arranired  in  several  ways. 
One  is  a  demand  charge  depending  on  the  maximum  demand  of  eadi  con- 
sumer, plus  a  flat  charge  per  kilowatt  hour  for  all  current  used.  Another 
and  more  common  method  is  to  make  a  graduated  scale  depending  on  the 
hours'  use  of  a  part  of  the  total  connected  load.  The  total  expenrea  de- 
pending on  the  demand  are  det«rmined  per  day  for  one  kilowatt  of  de- 
mand. If  the  consumer  uses  one  kilowatt  for  one  hour  per  day,  the  total 
demand  cost  for  the  day  must  be  charged  to  the  one  kilowatt  hour  used. 
If  the  demand  of  one  kilowatt  is  uEed  two  hours  the  total  demand  char^ 
should  be  divided  between  two  kilowatt  hours,  thus  making  the  charge 
less  for  each  unit.  If  uaed  ten  hours,  the  demand  charge  per  kilowatt 
hour  will  be  one-tenth  of  that  if  used  one  hour.  To  this  variable  charge, 
depending  on  the  hours'  use,  is  added  the  output  coat  of  one  kilowatt 
hour.  This  gives  a  rate  which  produces  the  same  revenue  and  which  is 
far  more  equitable  to  all  concerned  than  a  flat  rate  or  a  sliding-scale  rate 
depending  on  the  kilowatt  hours  used.  Either  of  the  last  two  rates  can 
only  he  averages  and  results  in  the  case  of  the  flat  rate — that  the  long- 
hour  consumer  pays  same  of  the  cost  incurred  by  the  short-hour  user; 
while  the  sliding  scale,  depending  on  the  kilowatt  hours  used,  makes  the 
consumer  with  a  small  demand  pay  some  of  the  cost  of  the  consumer 
having  a  large  demand. 

The  determination  of  proper  rates  for  any  public  service  requires  a 
large  amount  of  work  by  the  governing  body.  Numerous  important  de- 
cisions on  cost,  operating  and  accounting  methods  must  be  made.  In 
order  that  these  decisions  be  correct  under  the  many  varying  concytjons, 
a  large  amount  of  reliable  information  must  be  always  available.  In 
order  that  the  best  results  be  obtained,  the  following  conditions  should 
exist: 

Firat.  The  public  utilities  should  install  a  uniform  classiflcation  of 
accounts,  approved  by  the  Commission,  and  annual  reports  should  be 
filed  with  the  Commission  for  their  use.  Also,  the  books,  vouchers,  rec- 
ords and  accounts  of  the  ccmpany  should  be  open  at  all  times  to  the 
Commission  or  their  representatives  for  investigation. 

Second.  The  Commission  should  compile  from  these  annual  reports 
and  other  available  sources  such  information  as  will  aid  them  in  the  de- 
termination of  the  questions  arising  under  commissicui  r^ulation  and 
control. 

Third.  A  standard  of  service  should  be  fixed  by  the  CommissioD  for 
each  class  of  utiUty.  The  companies  should  be  required  U>  maintain  this 
standard,  under  pMialty  to  be  fixed  by  the  Commission.  The  C«»nmissioii 
should  provide  the  equipment  necessary  for  tbdr  mgineere  to  check  np 
L'le  service  from  time  to  time,  and  thus  inrare  to  the  pablic  Ht*  aervicc 
to  which  they  are  properly  entitled.  ^

TELEPHONE  SEXVTCE. 

In  the  early  part  of  July  the  Missouri  &  Kansas  Telephone  Company 
consolidated  their  plant  with  the  plant  of  The  Independent  Telephone 
Company  in  Ttqteka.  Shortly  thereafter  the  service  became  poorer  than 
that  previously  furnished,  and  numerous  complaints  were  made  to  the 
Commission  regarding  it.  In  an  effort  to  see  that  the  company  gave  at- 
tention to  these  complaints  conferences  were  had  with  the  heads  of  the 
various  departments  of  the  telephone  company  regarding  the  correction  of 
the  faults.  Observations  were  made  of  the  manner  to  which  the  work 
was  done,  and  special  secret  tests  were  made  on  several  occasions.  A 
split-second  stiip  watch  was  used  in  making  the  tests  at  various  tele- 
phones around  town.  The  results  showed  the  'time  required  for  central  to 
answer,  the  time  for  party  to  answer,  the  number  of  times  incorrect  con- 
nections were  made,  and  kind  of  transmission,  supervision,  etc.  These 
results  were  compared  to  the  following  standard  of  telephone  service: 

Eighty-flve  per  cent  of  all  calls  should  be  answered  by  the  operator  in 
5  seconds  or  less,  98  per  cent  of  all  calls  in  10  seconds  or  less,  and  the 
average  time  to  answer  all  calls  about  4  seconds.  The  operator  should 
ring  the  called  party  every  30  seconds  until  answered  or  the  calling  party 
discontinues  the  call.  The  transmission  should  be  good  and  there  should 
be  no  noises  on  the  line. 

On  September  4  a  secret  test  woa  made,  in  which  64  per  cent  of  all  the 
calls  were  answered  in  6  seconds  or  less,  and  the  average  time  to  answer 
all  calls  was  6.4  seconds.  On  September  24  a  second  test  showed  73  per 
cent  of  all  calls  answered  in  5  seconds  or  less  and  the  average  time  to 
answer  was  4.4  seconds.  Similar  improvement  was  noted  in  the  wrong 
numbers  and  supervision  given.  On  November  18  a  third  test  was  made, 
in  which  91  per  cent  of  all  calls  were  answered  in  5  seconds  or  less,  and 
the  average  time  to  answer  all  calls  was  4.3  seconds.  Transmission, 
supervision  and  other  features  of  telephone  service  also  showed  an  equal 
improvement.

IMPORTANT  DECISIONS. 


Docsn  No.  ITS. 
[Submltttd  Jannarr  S.  iei2.    Dnidad  Fabnuuy  G,  l>lt.) 

In  re  Application  F.  E.  Workman. 

Th«  du^  resta  upon  the  applicant  to  ahow  that  public  conveiiaiee  and 

necessity  will  be  subservMl  by  permitting  another  atitity  to  entra  tlic 

some  fidd. 

This  action  was  brought  by  F.  E  Workman,  of  Parsons,  Kan.,  seddng 
a  certificate  of  public  convenience  and  necessity  authorizing  him  to  build 
and  operate  an  electric  light  and  power  plant  in  the  city  of  Parsons. 

The  case  was  heard  by  the  Commission  on  January  8,  1912,  at  which 
time  representatives  of  the  Pareons  Railway  &  Light  Company  appeared 
and  protested  against  the  Commission  granting  the  proposed  certificate 
on  the  ground  that  the  present  company  is  amply  able  to  meet  the  needs 
of  the  people  of  that  community. 

Under  the  provisions  of  section  31  of  chapter  238  of  the  Session  Laws 
of  1911,  no  common  carrier  or  public  utility,  governed  by  the  provisions 
of  the  act,  is  permitted  to  transact  business  in  the  state  of  Kansas  until 
a  certificate  has  been  obtained  from  the  Public  Utilities  CHnmission  that 
public  convenience  will  be  promoted  by  the  transaction  of  such  business. 

The  duty  rests  upon  the  applicant  to  show  that  public  convenience  and 
necessity  will  be  subserved  by  permitting  another  utility  to  enter  the 
same  field. 

Practically  the  only  reaEons  assigned  for  permitting  another  electric 
light  company  to  engage  in  business  in  Parsons  were  that  the  Pamaa 
RailwiQr  &  Light  Company  had  notified  the  city  authorities  that  after 
the  expiration  of  its  present  franchise  on  July  1,  1912,  it  would  expect  s 
higher  scale  of  rates  and  that  live  or  six  individual  planta  had  been  in- 
stalled by  large  users  of  electricity.  A  number  of  witnesses,  inclnding 
the  mayor  and  a  commissioner  of  the  city  of  Parsons,  testified  that  the 
service  rendered  by  the  present  company  is  reasonably  satisfactory.  In 
fact  it  was  pretty  conclusively  shown  that  the  plant  of  the  Parsons  Rail- 
way &  Light  Company  is  adequate  for  all  present  and  prospective  needs 
of  Parsons. 

The  obvious  purpose  of  the  legislature  in  enacting  section  31  of  chap- 
ter 238  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911,  commonly  known  as  the  public  utili- 
ties law,  was  to  prevent  a  duplication  of  utilitiea  where  one  is  rendering 
reasonably  satisfactory  service.  This  question  was  the  subject  of  discus- 
sion by  the  Wisconsin  Railroad  Commission  in  the  La  Crosse  Gas.A  Elec- 
tric Company  case,  2  Wis.  R.  R.  Rep.  page  5,  where  the  oommiKsion  well 
said: 

"Duplication  of  such  plants  is  a  waste  of  capital,  whenever  the  serncc 
can  be  adequately  furnished  by  one  plant.  It  necessarily  means  that  in- 
terest and  maintenance  must  te  earned  on  a  much  greater,  if  not  twice

u  great  an  inveBtment,  and  that  the  actual  cost  of  operation  is  likely  to 
ba  relatively  hisheT.  Competition  in  this  service,  therefore,  usually  means 
&  bitter  EtruggTe  and  low  rates  until  one  of  the  cDnteatants  is  forced  out 
of  the  field,  when  the  rates  are  raised  to  the  old  level,  if  not  above  it, 
or  to  a  combination  or  understanding  of  some  sort  between  them  which 
also  ultimately  results  in  higher  rates.  In  this  way  it  often  happens  that 
the  means  whiah  were  thought  to  be  preventative  of  onerous  conditions 
are  impotent.  In  fact,  active  and  continuous  competition  between  the 
public  utility  corporations  furnishing  the  same  service  to  the  same  lo- 
cality seems  to  be  out  of  the  queation.  This  has  been  shown  by  experi- 
ence. Such  competition  also  is  contrary  to  the  very  nature  of  things. 
Fwo  distinct  and  separate  corporations  are  not  likely  to  remain  separate 
very  long  after  it  becomes  clear  that  the  services  rendered  by  both  can 
be  more  cheaply  and  more  eiTectively  furnished  by  only  one  of  them." 

The  same  question  was  before  the  supreme  court  of  Hassachusetts  in 
the  caw  of  Weld  v.  6a«  and  Electric  Light  Commissioners,  197  Mass. 
556,  on  appeal  from  a  decision  of  the  commission.     The  court  said: 

"The  fundamental  principles,  relied  on  by  the  petitioner  as  applicable 
to  corporations  of  this  general  commonwealth  JTi  regard  to  gas  and 
electric  lighting  companies,  and  the  facts  of  this  case  give  considerationB 
very  different  from  these  which  induce  the  decisions  in  many  of  the  cases 
above  cited.  In  the  first  place,  in  reference  to  this  department  of  public 
service,  we  have  adopted,  in  this  state,  legislative  regulation  and  control 
as  our  reliance  against  the  evil  effects  of  monopoly,  rather  than  competi- 
tive action  between  two  or  more  corporations,  where  such  competition 
will  greatly  increase  the  aggregate  cost  of  supplying  the  needs  of  the 
public,  and  perhaps  cause  other  serious  inconveniences.  Under  the  R.  L. 
c.  121,  Pars.  1,  E,  6,  8,  14,  16,  26,  84  and  8B  the  board  of  gas  and  electric 
light  commissioners  are  given  supervision  and  control  over  all  companies 
furnishing  gras  or  electricity  to  flie  public  for  lighting,  and,  among  other 
things,  they  may  order,  under  Par.  84,  any  reduction  in  the  price  of  gas 
or  electric  light,  or  improvement  in  the  quality  thereof.  Under  Pars.  8 
and  9  the  courts  have  jurisdiction  to  enforce  all  lawful  orders  of  the 
board,  and  all  provieions  of  the  law  relative  to  such  companies.  The 
state,  through  the  regularly  constituted  authorities,  has  taken  complete 
control  of  these  corporations  so  far  as  it  is  necessary  to  prevent  the  abuse 
of  monopoly.  Our  statutes  are  founded  on  the  assumption  that,  to  have 
two  or  more  competing  companies  running  tines  of  gas  pipe  and  conduits 
for  electric  lines  through  the  same  streets  would  often  greatly  increase 
Ihe  necessary  cost  of  furnishing  light  as  well  as  cause  great  inconvenience 
to  the  public  and  to  individuals  from  unnecessary  digging  up  of  the 
streets  from  time  to  time,  and  the  interference  with  pavements,  street 
railway  tracks,  water  pipes  and  other  structures.  In  reference  to  eorae 
kinds  of  public  service  and  under  some  conditions,  it  is  thought  by  many 
that  regulation  by  the  state  is  better  than  competition." 

In  the  application  of  the  Niagara  Falls  Lighting  Company  before  the 
Public  Service  Commission  of  New  York,  Second  District,  in  1909,  the 
commission  said: 

"The  policy  of  this  commission  in  eases  where  one  lighting  company 
seeks  to  enter  a  field  already  occupied  by  another  requires  that  the  ap- 
plicant shall  show  that  the  company  already  serving  the  community  is 
not  doing  so  adequately  and  efficiently  and  that  its  failures  are  such  that 
they  can  not  well  be  corrected  by  the  exercise  of  the  regulative  power  of 
the  commission.  Good  service  may  now  be  obtained  at  reasonable  prices 
in  less  expensive  ways  than  by  unnecessary  duplication  of  plants  and  the 
pubhc  interest  does  not  demand  that  capital  invested  in  good  faith  in  the 
public  service  should  be  destroyed  or  impaired  without  good  reasons  to  ba 
shown  afilrmatiyely."

88  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

The  whole  controversy  in  Parsons  seems  to  be  one  over  rates,  lo  the 
opinion  of  the  ConuniBSioD,  the  preEent  laws  give  a  city  of  the  first  clasB 
snfficient  power  to  r^ulate  the  rates  of  an  electric  light  and  pawer  com- 
pany. Express  provision  has  been  made  in  section  33  of  the  public 
utilities  iaw  for  an  appeal  to  this  Commission  by  either  the  utility  or  t«n 
aggrieved  taxpayers  in  case  any  rij^t,  privilege  or  franchise  granted,  or 
ordinance  or  resolution  or  part  of  any  ordinance  or  resolution  adopted 
by  any  municipal  council  or  commiasion  is  unreasonable,  or  against  pub- 
lic policy,  or  detrimental  to  the  best  interests  of  the  city,  or  contrai?  to 
law. 

From  the  showing  made,  it  does  not  appear  that  public  convenience 
would  be  pr<»noted  by  permitting  another  light  and  power  company  to 
engage  in  business  in  Parsons. 

It  is  Therefore  Ordered  that  the  application  of  F.  E.  Workman  be 
denied. 

Dated  at  Topeka,  Kan.,  this  6th  day  of  February,  1912.

City  of  Kinsley  v.  The  Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone  Company,  a  Cor- 
poration. 

1.  It  is  contended  that  the  Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone  CcHnpany  is 
situat«d  principally  within  the  ci^  of  Kinsley  and  principally  operated 
for  the  t^nefit  of  the  people  of  that  city,  and  not  subject  to  eontnd  by 
this  commission.  Measured  by  every  standard  fixed  b^  the  legislature, 
the  Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone  Company  can  not  fairly  be  said  to  be 
situated  principally  within  the  city  of  Kinsley  nor  even  serving  the 
people  of  that  city  principally.  It  therefore  follows  that  the  com- 
pany is  under  the  comroiEsion's  jurisdiction. 

2.  There  is  no  grant  of  power  in  any  ot  the  laws  of  this  state  aa- 
thorizing  cities  of  the  third  class  to  regulate  the  rat«s  of  telegraph  or 
telephone  companies  not  situated  and  operated  wholly  or  principally 
within  the  city  or  principally  operated  for  the  benefit  of  such  city  or 
its  people. 

This  action  was  instituted  by  the  city  attorney  of  Kinsley  for  the 
purpose  of  setting  aside  a  previous  order  of  this  commission  under  date 
of  September  28,  1911,  permitting  The  Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone 
Company  to  advance  the  rate  for  individual  line  telephone  service  from 
n  to  §1.25  per  month. 

A  hearing  was  held  at  Kinsley  on  January  24,  1912. 

The  contention  of  the  city  attorney  is  that  The  Kinsley  Automatic 
Telephone  Company  is  under  the  control  of  the  local  authorities  and  not 
subject  to  regulation  by  the  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

The  jurisdiction  of  this  commiasion  is  conferred  by  section  3  of  the 
Session  Laws  of  1911,  which  reads: 

"The  term  'public  utility,'  as  used  in  this  act,  shall  be  construed  to 
mean  evjety  corporation,  company,  individual,  association  or  persons,  their 
trustees,  lessees  or  receivers,  that  now  or  hereafter  may  own,  control, 
operate  or  manage,  except  for  private  use,  any  equipment,  plant,  g«)erat- 
ing  machinery,  or  any  part  thereof,  for  the  transmission  of  telephone 
messages  or  for  the  transmission  of  telegraph  messages  in  or  through

any  part  of  the  state,  or  the  conveyance  of  oil  and  gas  through  pipe 
lines  in  or  through  any  part  of  the  state,  except  pipe  lines  lees  than 
16  niiles  in  length  and  not  operated  in  connection  wiU]  or  for  the  general 
commercial  supply  of  gas  or  oil,  or  for  the  operation  of  any  trolley  lines, 
street,  electrical  or  motor  railway  doing  business  in  any  county  within 
the  state,  also  all  dining-car  companies  doing  business  within  the  state, 
and  nil  companies  for  the  production,  transmission,  delivery  or  fur- 
nishing of  heat,  light,  water  or  power;  provided,  that  this  act  shall 
not  refer  to  or  include  mutual  telephone  companies.  That  mutual  tele- 
phone companies,  for  the  purposes  of  this  act,  shall  be  understood  to 
mean  any  cooperative  telephone  company  operating  only  for  the  mutual 
benefit  of  its  subscribers  without  profit  other  than  in  the  service  received. 
Nothing  in  this  act  shall  apply  to  any  public  utility  in  this  state  owne^ 
and  operated  by  any  municipality.  The  power  and  authority  to  control 
and  regulate  all  public  utilities  and  common  carriers  situated  and 
operated  wholly  or  principally  within  any  city  or  principally  operated 
for  the  benefit  of  such  city  or  its  people  shall  be  vested  exclusively  in 
such  city,  subject  only  to  the  right  to  apply  for  relief  to  said  Public 
Utilities  Commission  as  hereinafter  provided  in  section  33  of  this  act." 

Tho  last  sentence  of  the  section  places  a  limitation  upon  the  power 
of  the  commission.  It  is  contended  that  The  Kinsley  Automatic  Tele- 
phone Company  is  situated  principally  within  the  city  of  Kinsley,  and 
is  opeintad  "principally  for  the  benefit  of  the  people  of  that  city.  Upon 
the  original  hearing  before  the  commission  on  the  company's  application 
to  advance  rates,  copy  of  applicant's  sworn  statement  to  the  State  Tax 
Commission  was  introduced  in  evidence. 

Thin  statement  shows  that  the  telephone  company  is  operating  not 
only  in  the  city  of  Kinsley  but  in  five  townships  other  than  Kinsley 
township  in  Edwards  county,  and  also  in  Ford,  Hodgeman,  Kiowa  and 
Pawnee  counties,  with  toll  line  service  in  Kinsley,  Wayne  and  Belpre 
townships,  with  a  total  mileage  of  104  miles  in  Kinsley  and  Kinsley 
township  and  313  miles  outside.  The  assessed  value  of  property  within 
the  city  and  township  of  Kinsley  (the  two  being  given  together)  is 
{6880,  outside  $7480.  The  evidence  also  disclosed  the  fact  that  the 
company  had  on  January  24,  1912,  805  telephones  in  Kinsley  and  2dS 
outsidif  the  city,  with  eight  toll  stations  in  other  towns  and  villages. 
It  was  also  shown  that  the  Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone  Company  has 
joint  contracts  with  several  other  telephone  companies  for  service 
throughout  the  state  and  among  the  states. 

Measured  by  every  standard  fixed  by  the  legislature.  The  Kinsley 
Automatic  Telephone  Company  can  not  fairly  be  said  to  be  situated 
principally  within  the  city  of  Kinsley,  nor  even  serving  the  people 
of  that  city  principally.  It  therefore  follows  that  the  company  is  under 
the  commission's  Jurisdiction. 

The  next  question  is  whether  a  city  of  the  third  class  has  been  given 
authority  and  power  by  the  legislature  to  regulate  the  rates  of  tele- 
phone companies,  which  regulation  would  be  binding  upon  the  Public 
Utilities  Commission.  It  seems  that  on  the  15th  day  of  March,  1901, 
the  mayor  and  council  of  the  city  of  Kinsley  passed  an  ordinance  per- 
mitting The  Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone  Company  fo  construct,  extend, 
maintain  and  operate  an  electric  telephone  plant  in  the  city  of  Kinsley, 
and  flxed'  the  maximum  rate  for  business  telephones  at  $2  per  month  an*! 
residence  telephones  at  $1  per  month.

90  Public  UHUtiea  Commisaum. 

It  is  contended  that  th«  order  of  thii  ccmuBiBBion  penDitting  the  tde- 
phone  company  to  ftdvKnce  ita  rate  was  withoat  force  or  effect,  and  the 
commiBBion  is  asked  to  disclaim  jurisdiction  vrithin  the  city  because  the 
maximum  rate  of  SI  fixed  by  the  city  in  the  franchiae  makes  a  binding 
contract  between  the  city  and  the  telephone  company. 

The  only  specific  authority  granted  cities  of  the  third  elasa  by  Uh 
le^slatnre  to  regulate  telephone  companies  is  found  in  sections  753, 
1S61  and  1793  of  the  General  Statutes  of  1909.  Section  753  reads  u 
follows : 

"Before  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  shall  have  the  right  to  enter 
upon  the  streets,  alleys,  public  parks  and  grounds  of  any  city  of  the 
second  or  third  class  in  the  state  of  Kansas  for  the  purpoM  of  piping  ths 
same  for  gas,  heat,  light,  water  or  for  the  construction  of  any  railways, 
street  railways,  sewerage  system,  telephones,  or  for  any  other  purpose 
whatsoever,  such  person,  firm  or  corporation  must  first  procure  the 
passage  of  an  ordinance  by  the  mayor  and  councilmsi  of  such  city  grant 
ing  unto  such  person,  firm  or  corporation  gneh  ri^t  or  rights,  and  in 
which  said  ordinance  shall  be  defined  fully  and  at  length  the  terms  upon 
which  said  right  is  conceded." 

By  the  provisions  of  section  1661  a  city  of  the  third  class  is  givra 
authority  to  levy  and  collect  a  license  tax  from  telephtme  companies. 

Section  1700  confers  upon  telephmie  companies  all  the  rights  and 
powers  and  liabilities  impMed  upon  telegraph  umpanies  by  the  geneml 
laws  of  the  state,  and  that  portion  of  the  general  laws  relating  to  th; 
government  of  telegraph  companies  by  cities  of  the  third  class  is  to  ce 
found  m  section  1793,  which  reads: 

"The  council  of  any  city  or  trustees  of  any  incorporated  town  or  vil- 
lage through  which  the  line  of  any  telegraph  corporation  is  to  pass,  may, 
by  ordinance  or  otherwise,  specify  where  the  posts,  piers  or  abotmoitt 
shall  be  located,  the  kind  of  posts  that  shall  be  used,  the  height  at  which 
the  wires  shall  be  run,  and  such  company  shall  be  governed  by  the  rega-

First  Report.  91 

The  supreme  court  of  our  state  has  held  in  a  number  of  cases  that  a 
city  can  not  exercise  a  power  to  regulate  unless  express  authority  is 
granted  by  the  legislature.  In  the  case  of  City  of  Leavenworth  v.  Norton, 
1  Kan.  405  (Dass.  ed.),  the  court  said: 

"All  powers  not  expressly  granted  by  the  charter  of  a  municipal  cor- 
poration, or  necessary  to  carry  out  these  powers,  held  to  be  denied.  It 
can  take  nothing  by  implication. 

"Thp  city  of  Leavenworth  is  a  municipal  corporation  created  by  act 
of  the  legislature,  and  its  powers  are  strictly  limited  and  controlled  by 
the  provisions  of  the  charter." 

"Monicipal  corporations  are  creations  of  law,  and  can  exercise  only 
powers  conferred  by  law,  and  take  none  by  implication.  City  of  Leav- 
enworth V.  Rankin,  2  Kan,  357," 

This  question  was  before  the  court  in  the  Pryor  case,  where  lola,  then 
a  city  of  the  third  class,  attempted  to  regulate  the  price  of  gas  by  ordi- 
nance.   Chief  Justice  Martin,  delivering  the  opinion  of  the  court,  said: 

"In  certain  cases  the  state  may  fix  and  regulate  the  prices  of  com- 
modities and  the  compensation  for  services,  but  this  is  a  sovereign  power, 
which  may  not  be  delegated  to  cities  or  subordinate  subdivisions  of  the 
state,  except  in  express  terms  or  by  necessary  implication.  No  such 
power  is  expressly  conferred  upon  cities  of  the  third  class,  and  we  do  not 
think  the  right  can  be  implied  from  any  express  provision,  unless  pos- 
Sibly  that  in  the  grant  of  consent  to  any  person  or  corporation  so  to  use 
the  streets  and  public  grounds  of  the  city  a  condition  might  be  imposed 
as  to  the  maximum  rates  to  be  charged."    In  re  Pryor,  66  Kan.  728. 

In  City  of  St.  Louis  v.  Telephone  Co..  96  Mo.  623,  it  was  held  that 
neither  under  its  authority  to  regulate  the  use  of  streets,  nor  the  powi>r 
to  licei.se,  tax  and  regulate  various  professions  and  businesses,  nor  the 
genera)  welfare  clause  permitting  the  passage  of  all  such  ordinances  not 
inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of  the  charter  or  the  laws  of  the  state  as 
may  b<;  expedient  in  maintaining  the  peace,  good  government,  health  and 
welfare  of  the  city,  its  trade,  commerce,  and  manufactures,  can  the  city 
of  St.  Louis  regulate  by  ordinance  the  tariff  of  charges  of  a  telephone 
company.    In  the  opinion  the  court  says: 

"We  are  at  a  loss  to  see  what  this  power  to  regulate  the  use  of  the 
streets  has  to  do  with  the  power  to  fix  telephone  charges.  The  power  to 
regulate  the  charges  for  telephone  service  is  neither  included  in  nor  inci- 
dent to  the  power  to  regulate  the  use  of  streets,  and  the  ordinance  can  not 
be  upheld  on  any  such  grounds." 

Telephone  companies  have  been  given  the  right  to  set  their  polei, 
wires  and  other  fixtures  along,  upon  and  across  any  of  the  public  roads, 
streets  and  waters  of  the  state  in  such  manner  as  not  to  incommode  the 
public  in  the  use  of  such  roads,  streets  and  waters.  The  cities  can  only 
designate  the  location. 

In  the  case  of  Telephone  Company  v.  City  of  Concordia.  81  Kan.  SIJ, 
the  court  said: 

"Under  existing  statutes  the  right  to  build  a  telephone  line  in  and  over 
streets  and  highways  is  directly  granted  by  the  state,  and  the  mayor  and 
council  of  a  city  are  powerless  to  prevent  such  use.  The  council  has  the 
authority  to  provide  by  ordinance  reasonable  rules  regulating  the  use  of 
the  streets  and  alleys  for  that  purpose  by  defining  where  and  in  what 
manner  a  telephone  company  shall  erect  and  maintain  its  fixtures,"

92  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

Prior  to  th«  passage  of  the  public  utilities  law,  no  power  had  beat 
conferred  upon  any  municipal  or  state  body  to  regulate  the  rates  of  r. 
telephone  company.  With  the  enactment  of  that  law.  authority  was 
specifically  given  to  the  Public  Utilities  CominisBion  to  regulate  the  ratei 
and  service  of  telephone  companieB  not  situated  wholly  or  principally 
within  a  city,  or  principally  operaUd  for  the  benefit  of  such  city  or  il£ 

No  authority  having  been  given  to  cities  of  the  third  class  to  regulate 
the  rates  of  telephone  companiea  not  situated  and  operated  wholly  <r 
principally  within  the  city  or  principally  operated  for  the  benefit  of  such 
city  or  its  people,  it  is  held  that  that  portion  of  the  ordinance  of  1909 
which  attempted  to  regulate  the  rates  of  The  Kinsley  Automatic  Tde- 
phone  Company  is  inoperative  and  void. 

It  is  Therefore  Ordqibd  that  the  complaint  be  diamissed,  this  Z7th

(Submitted  April  U.  IB1£.     Dwidsd  April  24.  1>1£.1 

The  Whitewater  Telephone  Csmpany,  vb.  The  Missouri  Pacific  Railway 

Company. 

OPINION  AND  ORDER. 

The  complainant  alleges  that  the  respondent  fails  and  neglects  to  main- 
tain adequate  telephone  connections  between  its  stations  at  Brainerd  and 
McLain  and  the  public  telephone  exchanges  operated  by  The  Whitewater 
Telephone  Company  in  the  aforesaid  towns,  and  prays  for  an  order  of 
this  Commission  requiring  the  said  railway  company  to  comply  with  chap- 
ter 136  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911. 

The  answer  of  the  respondent  company  alleges  that  public  convenience 
does  not  require  telephone  service  in  its  depots  at  Brainerd  and  HcLain, 
while  an  amended  answer  raises  the  question  that  there  are  no  piiblie 
telephone  exchanges  in  the  said  towns. 

The  case  was  heard  by  the  Commission  on  the  16th  day  of  April,  1912. 
The  evidence  shows  that  some  months  ago  the  manager  of  The  Whiter 
water  Telephone  Company  notified  the  railway  officials  that  a  telephone 
rental  of  $1.36  per  month  would  be  charged  for  each  station.  This  the 
railway  company  declined  to  pay,  and  advised  the  telephone  people  that 
service  could  be  discontinued.  The  evidence  further  shpws  that  the 
telephones  have  been  in  constant  use  by  all  parties,  including  the  agenls 
of  the  railway  company. 

The  real  purpose  of  the  complaint  is  to  secure  payment  for  the  tele- 
phone service  rendered- 

In  our  opinion,  this  Commission  can  not  order  the  railway  company 
to  install  telephones  in  its  depots  at  Brainerd  and  McLain,  for  the  reason 
that  adequate  telephone  service  is  already  accorded  the  people  of  those 
villages. 

Section  1  of  chapter  136  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911  reads: 

"That  every  railway  crmpany,  cx-'refs  rompany  and  telegrapb  mjb- 
I'any  doing  business  in  this  state  shall  furnish  reasonably  adequate  tele-

pbone  connections  between  its  offices,  baildinfcs,  and  grounds,  and  the  pnb- 
lac  telephone  exchanges  operated  in  the  towns  where  the  Eame  are 
locwted." 

This  statute  requires  the  railway  companies  to  maintain  reasonably 
adequate  telephone  service,  and  neither  the  railway  company  nor  the  tele- 
phone company  can  discontinue  such  service  without  the  consent  of  this 
Cwnmission.  If  any  telephonic. service  is  inadequate,  or  unreasonably  or 
nnjustly  discriminatory,  then  complaint  can  be  made  to  this  Commiasion 
muler  the  provisions  of  section  2  of  the  chapter  referred  to  above. 

In  the  judgment  of  the  Commission,  railway  companies  are  required 
to  pay  for  telephone  service,  the  same  as  other  subscribers,  unless  other 
arrangements  are  authorized  by  the  commission. 

The  complaint  is  therefore  dinmsaed,  this  24th  di^  of  April,  1912.

-J.  G.  Condon,  vs.  The  Hiawatha  Mutual  Telephone  Company. 
OPINION  AND  ORDER. 

"The  Commission  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  company  should  establish  one 
rate  for  stockholders  and  nonstockholders  who  receive  like  and  con- 
t^nporaneous  service.  Any  return  to  stockholders  upon  their  invest- 
ment should  be  paid  in  the  way  of  dividends  rather  than  in  preferential 
rates. 

The  complainant  in  this  case  is  a  farmer,  residing  west  of  the  city  of 
Hiawatha,  Kan.,  and  is  a  subscriber  to  the  service  of  the  Hiawatha  Mu- 
tual Telephone  Company,  which  is  an  incorporated  company,  engaged  in 
renting  telephones  to  the  public  generally  and  transmitting  toll  messages, 
with  both  local  and  long-distance  toll  connections. 

The  complainant  alleges  that  the  respondent  company  is  charging 
stock-holding  subscribers  on  rural  lines  a  rate  of  50  cents  per  month, 
while  those  subscribers  who  do  not  own  stock  in  the  company  are  com- 
pelled to  pay  (1  per  manth  for  the  same  service.  It  is  contended  that 
this  constitutes  an  unjust  discrimination  against  the  non-stockholder. 

The  respondent  company  was  not  represented  at  the  hearing  before 
tile  Commission  on  June  18,  but  in  its  answer  said  company  attunpted 
to  justify  the  difference  in  rates  for  the  stockholders  and  nonstockholders 
«n  the  theory  that  the  stockholder  was  responsible  for  the  obligations  of 
tiie  company.  From  information  available  it  seems  that  the  company  has 
something  like  500  subscribers  who  are  not  stockholders,  and  about  200 
stock-holding  subscribers. 

The  Commission  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  company  should  establish 
one  rate  for  stockholders  and  nonstockholders  who  receive  like  and  con- 
temporaneous service.  Any  return  to  stockholders  upon  their  investment 
should  be  paid  in  the  way  of  dividends,  rather  than  in  preferential  rates. 

It  18  Therefore  Ordered  that  the  said  The  Hiawatha  Mutual  Tele- 
phone Company  be,  and  it  is  hereby,  directed  to  cease  and  desist  from  the 
practice  of  charging  stockholders  discriminatory  rates.

ATTEST:    J.  F.  Crocker,  City  Clerk. 

On  the  17th  day  of  June,  1912,  the  Garden  City  Telephone,  Light  and 
Manufacturing  Company  filed  its  complaint  with  the  Public  Utilities 
Commission  of  the  state  of  Kansas,  asking  that  if  this  Commission  find 
that  the  provisions  of  said  ordinance  are  unreasonable  and  against  pub- 
lic welfare,  or  has  reason  to  believe  that  the  same  is  contrary  to  law,  it 
will  within  ten  d^s  thereafter  recommend  and  advise  said  city  to  make 
sDch  changes  in  Uie  ordinance  as  may  be  necessary  to  meet  the  objections 
set  forth  in  the  complaint  and  protect  public  interest  and  remove  any 
unreasonable  provisions  therefrom.  The  complaint  alleges  that  on  the 
Slst  day  of  December,  1911,  there  bad  been  invested  by  said  complainant 
in  the  said  light  plant  the  sum  of  $60,973.83,  and  further  alleges  that  the 
said  ordinance  is  unreasonable  in  this,  that  the  rates  therein  fixed  are  so 
low  that  the  complainant  is  and  will  be  unable  to  furnish  electric  current 
to  the  inhabitants  of  said  cit^  and  maintain  its  electric  plant  in  its 
present  efficiency  without  great  loss,  damage  and  expense,  and  that  said 
ordinance  is  against  public  policy,  contrary  to  law  and  against  the  best 
interests  of  the  city. 

Due  notice  was  given,  and  hearing  was  had  at  Garden  City  on  the  6tb 
day  of  July,  1912,  before  the  Public  Utilities  Commission,  there  being 
present  George  Plumb  and  John  T.  White,  commissioners;  John  Marshall, 
attorney  for  the  Public  Utilities  Commission;  W.  R.  Hopkins,  attorney 
for  the  city  of  Garden  City,  and  Edgar  Foster,  attorney  for  the  Garden 
City  Telephone,  Light  and  Manufacturing  Company.  A  number  of  wit- 
nesses were  sworn  and  evidence  introduced. 

The  books  of  the  company  show  that  the  electric- light  plant  has  cost 
the  company  $60,973.83.  The  electric-light  plant  was  purchased  by  the 
complainant  some  five  or  six  years  ago  from  another  company,  who  had 
prior  to  that  time  been  operating  same  in  Garden  City.  The  sum  of 
$60,973.83  includes  the  sum  of  $5785  paid  to  parties  interested  in  the 
plant  at  the  time  of  such  purchase,  but  for  which  the  complainant  com- 
pany recdved  no  value. 

The  Commission  caused  a  valuation  and  appraisement  of  the  prDpe{1y 
of  the  complainant  to  he  made  by  its  engineer,  Carl  C.  Witt.  From  his 
report  the  Commission  finds  that  it  would  cost  $61,051  to  reproduce  the 
complainant's  lighting  plant  in  the  city  of  Garden  City,  new;  that  the 
present  condition  of  the  lighting  plant  is  87.7  per  cent  of  its  value  new.

making  the  present  value  of  the  plant,  144,772.  From  thia  report  the  - 
CommiBBioD  flnde  that  an  entirety  new  plant  ample  to  furnish  electricit; 
for  Garden  City  at  the  present  time  and  for  a  number  of  years  in  the 
future  will  coat  140,000.  There  is  evidence  to  show  Uiat  such  plant  can 
be  built  for  fST.OOO.  After  taking  into  consideration  all  the  conditioiu 
and  circumstances  surrounding  the  electrict-light  plant  situated  at  Garden 
City,  Kan.,  including  intangible  values  as  well  as  the  value  of  the  phy- 
sical plant,  the  Commission  finds  that  the  value  of  the  plant  now  owned 
and  operated  by  the  complainant  for  the  benefit  of  Garden  City  in  furnish- 
ing electricity  ib  (46,000.  The  Commission  finds  that  the  total  receipts 
of  the  complainant  company  for  the  calendar  year  1911  were  fl4,400.20. 
The  total  operating  expenses,  not  including  depreciation,  were  |7897.01, 
leaving  an  income  of  17602.99.  The  Cwnmission  finds  that  from  this  sum 
there  should  be  deducted  a  further  sum  of  (2000  to  be  set  aside  to  replace 
the  depreciation  in  the  plant.  This  leaves  a  net  profit,  after  deducting 
depreciation,  of  $6602.09.  This  gives  a  return  of  12.2  per  cent  on  (45,- 
000.  and  13.76  per  cent  on  140,000,  and  10.7  per  cent  on  151,051. 

Under  present  condlti<»is  a  minimum  amount  of  electricity  is  used  in 
Garden  City.  With  reasonable  rates  and  an  agreeable  business  manage- 
ment, there  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  the  use  of  electricity  in  Garden 
City  will  be  greatly  increased  'in  the  future.  There  is  no  reason  to  be- 
lieve that  such  use  will  be  decreased.  There  is  diifculty  in  aacertaiDing 
the  net  revenue  to  be  received  by  the  complainant  company  under  an; 
system  of  meter  rates,  because  of  the  mixture  of  flat  rates  and  m^r 
rates  now  in  operation  in  Garden  City.  The  Commissitm  is  of  the  tqiinioii 
that  for  lighting  a  rate  of  11  cents  per  kilowatt  hour,  with  a  minimnni 
rate  of  J1.26  per  month,  and  for  power  s  rate  of  614  cents  per  kilowatl 
hour  for  the  first  100  kilowatt  hours,  6K  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  the 
second  100  kilowatt  hours,  and  iVt  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  all  above 
200  kilowatt  hours,  with  a  minimum  rate  of  fl.26  per  month,  with  B 
discount  of  10  per  cent  on  all  bills  if  paid  on  or  before  the  10th  day  of 
the  month  succeeding  the  close  of  the  month  during  which  electricity  was 
furnished,  will  be  reasonable. 

The  Commission  is  of  the  opinion  that  |2000  is  a  proper  sum  for 
annual  depreciation,  and  that  these  rates  will  yield  to  the  complainant 
company,  after  paying  all  operating  expenses  and  setting  aside  (2000 
for  depreciation,  the  sum  of  (3502.99  annually.  This  sum  is  8.75  per 
cent  of  (40,000;  6.9  per  cent  of  (61,051,  and  7.7  per  cent  of  $45,000, 
which  rate,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Commission,  is  ample  return  upon  the 
fair  value  of  that  part  of  the  complainant's  plant  in  Garden  City  used 
for  the  production  of  electricity  for  lighting  and  power. 

It  is  Therefore  by  the  Commission  Advised  and  Recommended  that 
the  respondent  city  revise  and  change  said  ordinance  so  as  to  provide  for 
rates  as  follows: 

A  rate  of  11  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  electric  lights,  with  a  mini- 
mum rate  of  (1.25  per  month; 

A  rate  for  power  of  6H  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  the  first  100  kilo- 
watt hours,  5^  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  the  second  100  kilowatt  hours,

and  4^  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  all  above  200  kilowatt  hours,  with  a 
minimnm  rat«  of  $1.25  per  month; 

And  that  all  bills  paid  on  or  before  the  10th  day  of  the  month  suc- 
ceeding that  dnrinK  which  electricity  has  been  furnished  there  shall  be

[SubmltUd  November  1,  iei2.    Decided  November  8.  1912.] 

In  re  complaint  of  the  Parsons  Railway  and  Light  Company,  complaining 
of  certain  ordinances,  orders  and  resolutions,  rates  and  regulations,  at- 
tempted to  be  made  and  enforced  against  the  Parsons  Railway  and 
Light  Company  by  the  City  of  Parsons,  Kan. 

STATEMENT  OF  THE  CASE. 

This  is  a  proceeding  under  section  S3  of  chapter  238  of  the  Laws  of 
1911,  commonly  known  as  the  public  utilities  law. 

The  city  of  Parsons  is  a  city  of  the  second  class,  situated  In  Labette 
county,  Kansas. 

The  cixnplainant,  the  Parsons  Railway  and  Light  Company,  operates  an 
electric- light  and  power  plant  in  the  city  of  Parsons  and  also  operates  a 
street-railway  system  in  said  city.  Electricity  for  the  operation  of  the 
electric -light  and  power  plant  and  the  street  railway  is  generated  by  one 

Electricity  is  sold  to  the  general  public  for  commercial  light  and  power, 
to  the  city  for  arc  street  lighting  and  to  the  railway  for  power  purposes. 

On  the  17th  day  of  June,  1912,  the  board  of  commissioners  of  the  city 
of  Parsons  passed  an  ordinance  providing,  among  other  things,  that — 

"The  maximum  rate  for  electric  current  furnished  and  supplied  to  any 
persons,  firm,  company,  association, '  bu si nesa,  institution  or  corporation, 
residing  or  doing  business  in  said  city  of  Parsons,  Kan.,  by  the  Parsons 
Railway  and  Light  Company  shall  be  and  is  hereby  fixed  at  not  to  exceed 
six  cents  per  kilowatt  for  light,  heat  and  power,  or  for  any  other  purpose, 
for  a  period  of  five  years  from  and  after  the  first  day  of  July,  a.  d.  1912." 

On  the  21st  day  of  June  the  Parsons  Railway  £  Light  Company  filed 
its  complaint  with  this  Commission,  asking — 

"That  this  Commission  shall  find  that  the  orders,  resolutions,  rates 
and  regulations  herein  cjimplained  of  are  unreasonable  and  against  pub- 
lic welfare  and  contrary  to  law  and  confiscatory,  and  that  this  Commis- 
sion advise  and  recommend  such  changes  in  said  ordinances,  and  resolu- 
tions, rates  and  regulations  as  it  may  find  necessary  to  protect  this  com- 
plainant and  allow  it  to  make  a  sufficient  income  to  pay  operating  ex- 
penses and  provide  for  maintenance  and  depreciation  and  to  pay  a  reason- 
able interest  upon  its  actual  investment,  and  to  make  such  other  and 
further  orders  and  provisions  as  may  seem  to  this  Commission  to  be  just 
and  proper  in  the  premises." 

Notice  was  given  as  required  by  law,  and  a  hearing  was  had  at  the  city 
of  Parsons  on  the  8th  and  9th  days  of  August,  1912,  at  which  a  large 
amount  of  evidence  was  heard.  Orel  argument  was  then  made  by  coun- 
sel for  tile  light  company  and  for  the  city.  Briefs  were  afterwards  filed. 
After  the  filing  of  the  brids  the  parties  again  orally  argued  the  matter

before  the  Commissiofi.  After  the  last  ar^ment  the  light  eampany  nib- 
mltted  additional  statementB  and  fibres  explanatory  of  the  differoiee 
in  the  operating  expenses  of  the  company  between  the  years  ending  Jan- 
uary 15,  1911,  and  January  16,  1912. 

The  Commiasion  heard  all  the  evidence  offered  by  either  the  li^t  plant 
or  the  city.  George  C.  Shaad,  professor  of  electrical  engineering  at  the 
Kansas  State  University,  and  W.  J.  Hagenah,  public  utility  statistician 
of  the  city  of  Chicago,  testified  for  the  light  plant.  B.  F.  Eyer,  profesMn 
of  electrical  engineering  of  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College,  testi- 
fied for  the  city.  C.  C.  Witt  and  Fred  H.  Hanson,  engineers  for  the 
CMnmission,  made  an  examination  of  and  report  concerning  the  pnqterty 
of  the  light  plant. 

VALUATION. 

Prof.  George  C.  Shaad,  for  the  company,  and  Prof.  B.  F.  Eyer,  for  the 
city,  each  made  an  appraisement  and  valuation  of  th«  plant  in  contio- 
versy,  and  each  testified  concerning  that  valuation.  In  addition  to  these 
valuations,  C.  C.  Witt,  the  Commission's  engineer,  also  made  a  valuation. 
It  appears  that  the  present  company  purchased  this  plant  from  the 
Parsons  Electric  Light  and  Power  Company  in  1908,  for  which  the 
present  company.  Parsons  Railway  and  Light  Company,  paid  990,000. 
This  was  largely  in  excess  of  the  then  value  of  the  plant.  Mr.  Emanael. 
the  presidoit  of  tiie  company,  testified  on  this  hearing  that  the  plant 
when  purchased  was  worth  about  {60,000,  On  the  hearing  of  an  ap- 
plication of  F.  E.  Workman  for  a  certificate  authorizing  him  to  build  an 
eleetnc-light  plant  in  the  city  of  Parsons,  Mr.  Emanuel  testified  that 
the  plant  at  the  time  of  this  purchase  was  worth  about  930,000.  Mr. 
Emanuel  also  testified  that  between  {70,000  and  180,000  had  hem  put  into 
the  plant  since  its  purchase.  According  to  the  testimony  of  Mr.  Emannd, 
the  plant  has  cost  its  owners  somewhere  between  9150,000  and  iliO,OIX). 
This  is  greatly  in  excess  of  the  present  value  of  the  plant.  The  original 
value  was  somewhere  from  930,000  to  $60,000.  To  this  has  been  added 
from  9'70>000  to  980,000,  making  a  total  present  value  of  the  plant,  ac- 
cording to  Mr.  Emanuel,  from  9100,000  to  $180,000. 

Mr.  Shaad,  professor  of  electrical  engineering  at  the  Kansas  State 
University,  was  employed  by  the  company  to  make  a  valuation  and  ap- 
praisement of  the  plant  and  classification  of  the  operating  expenses  of  the 
company.  Professor  Shaad  testified  that  it  will  cost  $129,279.82  to  re- 
produce that  part  of  the  physical  property  of  the  present  plant  dented 
to  the  production  and  distribution  of  electricity,  including  that  used  bj 
the  street-railway  company,  and  that  the  present  value  of  this  plant  is 
9110,694.11.  He  divided  the  present  value  between  the  commercial,  arc 
and  railway  systems  as  follows: 

To  the  commercial  system  $73,000.00 

To  the  arc  system  17,631.04 

To  the  railway  system   20,062.47 

To  the  present  value  of  the  plant  apportioned  to  commerdal  and  an 
light  uses,  990,531.64,  Professor  Shaad  adds  917,919.94  as  going-coocern 
value  and  92000  for  working  capital. 

Mr.   Eyer,  professor  of  electrical  engineering  at  the  Kansas  Stal«

First  Report  99 

Agricultural  College,  was  employed  by  the  city  of  Parsona  to  make  a 
▼aluatioD  and  appraisment  of  the  property  and  classification  of  the  ope- 
rating espenses  of  the  company.  According  to  his  testimony,  it  will 
cost  $115,811.16  to  reproduce  the  present  plant  new.  The  Commisaion'B 
aigineer,  Carl  C.  Witt,  also  made  a  valuation  and  appraisement  of  this 
plant  and  assiated  in  making  a  clasBification  of  the  operating  expenses. 
According  to  Mr.  Witt,  it  will  cost  (126,120  to  reproduce  the  present 
plant  new.  This  includes  all  that  part  of  the  plant  necessary  to  deliver 
electricity  to  the  several  customers  of  the  plant.  The  present  Talue  of  the 
plant  is  shown  by  Mr.  Witt  to  be  2110,667.  This  does  not  include  going 
concern,  working  capital,  nor  any  other  intangible  value. 

OPERATING  EXPENSES. 

The  principal  contest  in  this  matter  is  over  operating  expenses.  Mr. 
Hagenah,  Professor  Shaad,  Professor  Eyer  and  Mr.  Emanuel  each  testi- 
fied on  tills  subject,  and  Mr.  Witt  made  certain  examinations  into  this 
matter.  There  is  practical  unanimity  as  to  the  amount  of  operating  ex- 
penaea  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1912,  the  difSculty  being  over  the 
proprie^  of  certain  Items  of  such  expenses,  some  items  being  included  by 
Professor  Shaad  and  Mr.  Hagenah  and  excluded  by  Professor  Eyer. 
According  to  Mr.  Hagenah  and  Professor  Shaad,  the  operating  expensea 
for  the  light  plant  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1912,  were  $36,867.65. 
This  is  divided  as  follows:

.    These  items  Professor  Eyer  reduces  as  follows: 
Of  the  $20,472.83  for  generating  electricity,  25  per  cent  is  properly 

apportionable  to  the  street-car  system,  making  the  total,  excluding  the 

cost  of  generating  the  electricity  for  the  street-ear  syst^n,  $15,354.63. 
The  general  expenses  he  reduces  by  deducting  $2975.88  from  the  tobil 

thereof,  as  being  that  part  of  the  general  expense  that  should  be  appot- 

tinned  to  generating  electricity  for  the  street  railway,  leaving  $7918.6^ 

as  the  proper  proportion  of  general  expenses  to  charge  to  the  dectric- 

light  plant  so  far  as  concerns  electricity  for  commercial  lighting  and 

power,  and  electricity  for  arc  lights  is  concerned. 

Professor  Eyer  divides  the  electrical  plant  betwe«)  that  part  of  the 

plant  uEed  and  necessary  for  the  production  of  electricity  for  light  tni 

power  and  for  the  street  railway.

the  Bame  expenses  for  the  year  ending  January  16,  1912,  were  (36,849.1^, 
an  increase  of  (12,422.87.  The  explanations  givsi  by  the  light  plant  con- 
cerning this  difference  in  the  operating  expenses  for  these  years  are  not, 
in  the  opinion  of  the  Commission,  auilicient  to  warrant  any  change  in  the

THE  DIVISION   OF  OPERATING  BZFENBBS. 

Of  the  total  cost  of  power-g;enerati(Hi  expense  of  $21,719.01  Mr. 
HAgenah  apportiona  a  total  sum  of  16358.31  as  the  cost  of  generating  the 
electrici^  sold  to  the  street  railway.  Of  the  cost  of  distributing  the 
electricity  Mr.  Hagenah  apportions  all  to  the  lighting  sTstem,  inclndinf 
both  the  commercial  and  arc  lights,  accept  $94.38  stable  expense,  which 
he  apportions  to  the  railway. 

Of  the  goieral  expense  Mr.  Hagenah  apportions  one-third  of  the  of- 
ficers' salaries,  officers'  expenses  and  teat  to  the  street  railway;  one-toitli 
of  the  clerical  salaries  and  miscellaneous  office  supplies  and  expense  lo 
the  street  railway;  two-thirds  of  the  ofBcers'  salaries,  officers'  expense! 
and  rent,  and  nine-toiths  of  clerical  salaries  and  miscellaneous  office  ex. 
penses  and  supplies,  and  all  of  the  Commission  expenses  and  taxes,  to  the 
lighting  department  The  Commission  expense  he  finds  to  be  $1424.31, 
which  he  distributes  over  a  period  of  three  years,  making  an  expense  of 
$474.7?  in  each  jrear.  This  Commission  expense  is  the  expeise  attending 
the  hearing  before  the  Public  Utilities  Commission,  resisting  the  grani- 
ing  of  a  certificate  to  F.  E.  Workman  to  do  business  as  a  public  utility  in 
the  city  of  Parsons.  This  makes  a  total  of  $2277.41  distributed  to  the 
railway  system  and  $1^79.96  to  the  lighting  system  out  of  the  total  gea- 
wal  expenses  of  $11,667.36. 

P.  H.  Hanson,  electrical  engineer  of  the  Public  Utilities  Commission, 
apportions  the  operating  expenses  of  the  company  as  follows : 
Generation  expenses:  • 

$6,180 .17  to  the  railway. 
4,274.97  to  the  arc-lighting  syston. 
12,302.27  to  commercial  electricity. 
The  distribution  expenses  he  apportions: 
$891.62  to  the  arc-lighting  system. 
2,699.06  to  the  commercial  eyatem. 
None  to  the  railway,  because  the  railway  receives  its  electricity  at 
the  switchboard  in  the  plant 
The  general  expenses  he  apportions: 
11,071.99  to  the  railway  system. 
440.91  to  the  arc  lighting  system. 
6,996.79  to  the  commercial  system. 

Of  the  total  tax  of  $1494.82  he  apportions  $276  to  the  railway  nyitao, 
$264.14  to  the  arc-lighting  system  and  $966.68  to  the  commercial  syston, 
making  a  total  of  $6477.16  to  the  railway  system,  $5861.64  to  the  arc- 
lighting  system  and  $21,863.80  to  the  commercial  system. 

REVENUES. 

The  evidence  conc^ning  the  revenues  of  the  company  ia  praclicaltf 
unanimous  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1912.  The  revenue  received  froa 
arc  lighting  in  the  city  was  $7429.23  and  from  the  commercial  li^t  ud 
power  $29,686.66,  making  a  total  of  the  two  items  of  $87,016.78. 

For  the  same  period  the  company  received  from  the  street  railway  for 
electricity  sold  to  it  $3686.60,  making  a  total  revenue  for  electricity  from 
all  sources  of  $40,701.28. 

From  the  examination  made  by  Mr.  Witt  it  appears  that  the  total

First  Report.  108 

revenue  for  the  year  ending  January  16,  1911,  wAb  |S8,228.08,  while  the 
revesues  for'the  year  ending  January  15,  1912,  were  f39,44L16. 

These  revenues  were  obtained  from  the  following  rates:  6  cents  per 
kilowatt  hour  for  all  commercial  lighting,  with  varying  rates  for  com- 
mercial power;  %5  per  month  for  each  arc  light  and  IH  cents  per  kilo- 
watt hour  fnmi  the  street  railwi^. 

FINDINGS  OP  THE  COMMISSION. 

From  the  evidence  before  the  Commission  it  appears  that  the  value 
of  the  electrical  plant  of  the  Parsons  Railway  &  Light  Company,  for  rate 
making  purposes,  m^  properly  be  fixed  at  $119,000,  divided  substantially 
aa  follows:  (106,000  for  the  present  value  of  the  physical  property  de- 
voted to  the  production  and  distribution  of  electricity  for  commercial  and 
arc-lighting  purposes  and  for  use  by  the  street  railway.  The  going-con- 
cern value  of  the  plant  may  properly  be  fixed  at  (13,000. 

The  Commission  bases  its  (indings  concerning  operating  expenses  on 
the  figures  made  by  F.  H.  Hanson,  which  are  baaed  on  the  statem«mt 
submitted  by  Mr.  Hagenah,  and  from  the.  statement  made  by  him  deducts 
one-fourth  of  the  general  expenses,  because  the  general  expenses  are  in- 
curred for  the  benefit  of  both  the  electric  plant  and  the  street-railway 
plant,  the  officers  and  office  clerks  performing  service  for  both  the  elec- 
trical and  street-railway  systems  at  the  same  time.  The  amount  thua 
deducted  ia  $1877.42. 

From  the  examination  of  the  books  made  by  Mr.  Witt  it  appears  that 
the  operating  expenses  for  the  year  ending  January  16,  1911,  were  $23,- 
462.26,  while  for  the  year  ending  January  15,  1912,  the  operating  ex- 
penses were  $36,849.13~an  increase  in  one  year  of  $12,422J7  in  the 
operating  expenses  of  this  plant.  This  difference  has  not  been  satisfac- 
torily explained.  For  the  year  ending  January  15,  1911,  the  total  reve- 
nues were  $38,228.08,  and  for  the  year  ending  January  15, 1912,  such  reve- 
nues were  $39,441.16 — an  increase  of  $1213.08.  For  the  same  period  the 
operating  expenses  increased  $12,422.87.  This  increase  in  the  operating 
expenses  in  one  year  appears  to  the  Commission  to  be  unreasonable. 
The  Commission  therefore  concludes  that  one-half  of  the  $12,422.87  should 
be  deducted  from  the  operating  expenses.  The  amount  so  deducted  is 
$6211.43.  The  total  operating  expenses  as  shown  by  Mr.  Hanson  is 
334,202.50.  From  this  should  be  deducted  the  $1877.42  and  $6211.43, 
leaving  $26,113.66.  To  this  should  be  added  an  amount  for  depreciation 
and  an  amount  as  a  return  on  the  investment,  liability  insurance,  an 
amount  to  meet  the  increased  price  of  fuel  and  another  amount  to  meet 
the  increase  in  oflice  expenses  at  Parsons,  upon  the  theory  that  the  entire 
management  of  these  properties  should  be  at  Parsons.  These  amounts, 
,  as  found  by  the  Commission,  are  as  follows: 

For  depreciation,  4  per  cent  of  $106,000  or $4,240 

Return  on  investment,  7  per  cent  of  $119,000,  or 8,380 

Liability  insurance 637 

IncreaEe  in  the  cost  of  fuel 2,683 

Increase  in  office  expenses  600 

Making  a  total  to  be  added  of 16,390 

Including  this  with  the  operating  expenses,  as  found  by  the  Commis- 
sion, produces  a  total  sum  of  $42,503.66.

104  Public  Utilities  Commission. 

The  revenues  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1912.  derived  from  elec- 
tricity sold  for  commercial  purposes,  from  the  arc-lighting  system  in  the 
city  and  from  the  street  railway  were  $40,701.28  on  the  mt«B  then  in 
existtfice,  which  were  6  cents  per  kilowatt  for  commercial  light,  fo  h 
month  for  each  arc  light,  and  I'A  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  electricity 
furnished  to  the  street  railway.  The  electricity  furnished  for  commerciiil 
lighting  and  power  was  alternating  current,  that  for  the  street  railway 
was  direct  current,  and  that  for  the  arc-lighting  system  was  altenuting 
current. 

For  the  year  ending  June  30,  1912,  the  company  sold  for  conunertial 
light  and  power  467,174  kilowatt  hours,  to  the  city  for  the  are  light* 
243,000  kilowatt  hours,  both  of  which  were  alternating  current,  and  to 
the  railway  243,800  kilowatt  hours  direct  curroit. 

The  Commission  is  of  the  opinion,  and  therefore  Jinds,  that  a  proper 
maximum  rate  for  electricity  sold  for  lighting  purposes  to  residence:. 
flats,  dwelling  houses  and  rooming  houses,  including  incidental  use  of 
appliances  on  lighting  circuits,  and  passing  through  the  same  meto',  will 
not  exceed  a  charge  of  10  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  the  first  20  kilowatt 
hours  or  less  used  per  month;  7  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  the  next  40 
kilowatt  hours,  and  4  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  all  currrait  used  in  excess 
of  60  kilowatt  hours  per  month;  and  that  a  proper  maximum  rate  for 
electricity  sold  for  all  other  lighting  purposes  will  not  exceed  10  cents  per 
kilowatt  hour  for  the  tirst  50  kilowatt  hours;  7  cents  per  kilowatt  hour 
for  the  next  100  kilowatt  hours,  and  4  cents  per  kilowatt  hour  for  all 
current  used  in  excess  of  150  kilowatt  hours. 

The  minimum  charge  for  lighting  should  be  76  cents  per  month. 

The  schedule  of  rates  for  power  for  five-horsepower  demand  and  over 

should  be:  CcnttiiR 

For  from    1  to    80  hours'  use  per  month  of  demand 6.

day  of  November,  1912,  are  hereby  amended  to  read  as  follows: 

This  action  was  brought  on  the  initiative  of  the  Ckimmiseion  for  the 
purpoFe  of  determining  to  what  extent  the  new  transit  rules  and  regu- 
lations recently  published  by  the  Kansas  lines  violate  the  laws  of  the 
state,  discriminate  against  the  interior  mills,  and  impose  unjust  and  un- 
reasonable burdens  upon  the  people  generally. 

The  records  show  that  the  railway  companies  failed  to  secure  the 
authority  of  this  Commission  to  make  the  proposed  change  in  the  traneit 
rules  and  regulations  in  accordance  with  section  20  of  chapter  238  of 
the  Session  Laws  of  1911,  and  to  that  extait  the  same  are  unlawful. 

At  the  hearing  on  October  30,  the  complaint  of  the  millers  was 
directed  against  the  rules  providing  for  a  division  of  the  products,  th° 
limitation  of  the  mixed  car  lot  and  the  color  scheme. 

The  evidence  showed  very  clearly  that  hundreds  of  mills  have  bem 
established  at  interior  points  in  Kansas  upon  the  old  transit  rules  of 
the  carriers,  which  permitted  them  to  compete  on  something  like  an 
equality  with  the  mills  at  the  Missouri  river  and  other  primary  roaricets 
from  which  proportional  or  reshipping  rates  apply.  So  far  no  satis- 
factory or  reasonable  basis  of  reshipping  rates  from  interior  points 
has  been  worked  out,  and  the  proposed  rules  would  only  serve  to  seriouslf 
cripple  the  interior  miller;  in  fact,  there  is  grave  doubt  whether  he 
could  exist  at  all  if  the  rules  complained  of  were  rigidly  enforced.  It 
is  very  evident  to  us  that  if  these  rules  are  to  be  enforced  at  the  interior 
and  reshipping  rates  are  to  be  allowed  at  the  primary  markets,  tha 
milling  industry  must  be  concentrated  at  the  rate-breaking  points. 
As  an  economic  proposition  this  condition  should  never  be  permitted. 
The  miller  at  the  interior  should  be  allowed  to  do  under  the  transit 
rules  what  his  competitor  at  the  primary  market  can  do  under  his  re- 
shipping rates. 

The  effect  of  the  proposed  rules  would  be  to  raise  the  total  charges 
on  many  shipments  milled  at  interior  points,  although  the  rates  them- 
selves might  not  be  advanced. 

In  our  opinion,  the  rule  providing  for  a  division  of  products  is  unjusi, 
unreasonable  and  inequitable.  After  allowing  for  the  arbitrary  re- 
ductions suggested  in  the  opinion  of  the  Interstate  Commerce  CtnnmiBsitHi 
on  account  of  the  natural  shrikage  in  milling,  shelling,  drying,  cleaning 
or  clipping  grain,  the  interior  miller  should  be  permitted  to  ship  his 
products  where  he  can  dispose  of  them  to  the  best  advanti^,  without 
regard  to  any  ratio  of  the  products  to  the  particular  grain.  The  tran«t 
privilege  should  be  allowed  on  weight  out  equal  to  the  actual  wdght 
of  the  grain  into  the  transit  point,  less  the  arbitrary  reductions  pre- 
scribed  by  the  Interstate.  Commerce  Commission.

First  Report.  113 

A  ?reat  deal  of  complaint  was  made  against  the  mixed-car-lot  rule, 
limiting  the  application  of  the  carload  rate  to  that  portion  of  the  shio- 
Burnt,  whether  transit  or  nontransit,  the  actual  or  billed  weight  of  which 
is  10,000  pounds  or  more. 

The  evidence  shows  very  clearly  that  this  rule  has  imposed  a  heavy 
burden  on  the  small  dealers  throughout  the  state  who  are  compelled 
to  buy  in  small  lots.  We  can  see  no  good  reason  why  the  manufacturer 
of  mixed  feeds  should  not  have  the  privilege  of  mixing  transit  and  non- 
transit  articles  in  the  same  car  at  the  proportional  carload  rate  or  the 
balance  of  the  through  rate  on  the  transit  portion,  and  the  flat  carload 
rate  from  transit  point  on  the  nontransit  portion,  without  regard  to 
the  weight  of  any  particular  proportion  of  the  shipment,  provided  that 
the  mixed  carload  minimum  is  observed. 

The  third  objection  was  made  to  the  color  scheme,  and  it  was  con- 
clusively shown  that  the  enforcement  of  this  provision  would  prove  a 
great  handicap  to  the  milling  interests  of  the  state  of  Kansas. 

There  seems  to  be  no  particular  objection  to  the  other  transit  rules 
and  regulations,  and  we  are  of  the  opinion  that  they  should  be  adopted 
in  Kansas. 

It  is  Therefore  Ordexed  that  the  Kansas  railroads,  and  each  of 
them,  be,  and  they  are  hereby,  required  to  publish  within  thirty  days 
from  date  hereof  modified  transit  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the 
transportation  of  Kansas  intrastate  shipments  of  grain  and  grain  pro- 
ducts in  tbe  following  particulars,  to  wit: 

First.  A  rule  providing  that  any  quantity  of  grain  products  may 
be  forwarded  from  the  transit  station  without  regard  to  any  ratio  of 
the  products  to  the  particular  grain,  except  that  the  arbitrary  per- 
centages prescribed  by  the  Interstate  Commerce  Gommission,  on  account 
of  losJ  in  the  milling  process,  should  be  flrst  deducted  from  the  gnus 
weight  of  the  grain. 

Second.  A  rule  authorizing  the  transportation  of  mixed  car  lots  of 
transit  and  nontransit  articles  within  the  state  of  Kansas  at  the  pro- 
portional carload  rate  or  the  balance  of  the  through  rate  on  the  transit 
portion  of  such  a  shipment,  and  the  flat  carload  rate  from  the  transit 
point  on  the  nontransit  portion,  without  regard  to  the  weight  of  any 
particular  portion  of  the  shipment,  provided  that  the  mixed  carload 
minimam  is  observed.  If  the  actual  weight  of  the  mixed  carload  is 
lead  than  the  minimum  required,  the  weight  of  the  lot  taking  the  lowest 
rate  should  be  increased,  at  the  flat  carload  rate  from  the  transit  point, 
snfliciently  to  preserve  the  minimum  carload  weight. 

Third.  A  rule  providing  that  the  so-called  color  scheme  or  rule  shall 
not  apply  on  Kansas  intrastate  shipments  of  grain  or  grain  products.

Public  Utilities  Commission. 


INFORMAL  TELEPHONE  RULINGS. 


The  following  rulings  have  been  made  by  the  Kansas  Public  Utibties 
Commission  in  answer  to  inquiries  since  its  organisation  on  Hay  22d. 
1911: 

1.  Free  or  Reduced  Rates  or  Service.  Section  12  of  chapter  238  of 
the  Session  Laws  of  1911,  commonly  known  as  the  public  utilities  law. 
provides : 

"No  common  carrier  or  public  utility  governed  by  the  provisions  of 
this  act  shall,  knowingly  or  willfully,  charge,  demand,  collect  or  receive  a 
greater  or  less  compensation  for  the  same  class  af  service  performed  by 
it  within  the  state,  or  for  any  service  in  conne;tion  therewith,  than  h 
specified  in  the  printed  schedules  or  classifications,  including  schedules  of 
joint  rates;  or  demand,  collect  or  receive  any  rate,  Joint  rate,  toll,  fare  or 
charfK  not  specified  in  such  schedule  or  classificBtion ;  provided,  that  rates 
different  from  those  specified  in  the  printed  schedule  or  claaeifi cation  of 
rates  may  be  charged  by  any  public  utility,  street  or  interurban  railway, 
by  agreement  with  the  customer,  in  cases  of  charity,  emergency,  festivin* 
or  public  entertainment;  provided,  that  any  utility  governed  by  the  pro- 
visions of  this  ai^t  may  grant  to  the  oflkers,  employees,  and  egents  of 
such  utilities  free  or  reduced  rates  or  service  upon  like  terms  in  the  unie 
manner  as  is  now  provided  by  law  relating  to  common  carriers." 

Request  has  been  made  upon  the  common  carriers  and  public  utilitieSi 
governed  by  the  provisions  of  the  act,  to  publish  and  file  with  the  Cosi- 
mission  schedules  of  rates  chafed  for  various  classes  of  service  fur- 
nished the  public. 

The  schedules  of  the  public  utilities  show  many  flagrant  violatjons  of 
the  law.  In  many  instances  free  service  is  accorded  patrons  who  are  not 
within  the  excepted  classes  named  in  section  12.  In  other  cases  spenal 
rates,  materially  less  than  the  regular  rates  charged  the  public,  are  gives 
favored  patrons.  In  many  instances  stockholders  of  public  utilities  an 
given  rates  which  are  less  than  those  charged  the  general  public. 

It  is  therefore  ruled  by  the  Commission  that  it  is  a  violation  of  tbf 
terms  of  section  12  of  chapter  2S8  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911  for  m 
public  utility  governed  by  the  provisions  of  the  act  to  accord  to  any 
person  or  persons,  other  than  officers,  employees  and  agents  of  such 
utihties,  free  service  or  rates  at  variance  with  those  charged  the  general 
public  for  the  same  service  under  similar  conditions,  except  in  cases  of 
charity,  emergency  festivity  or  public  entertainment  (No.  145.  No- 
vember 7,  1911.) 

2.  It  is  the  opinion  of  the  Commission  that  the  practice  of  psbtic 
utilities  in  according  free  service  or  rates  at  variance  with  those  charge" 
the  general  public,  except  in  cases  of  charity,  emergency,  festivity,  pubbc 
entertainment,  or  by  virtue  of  franchise  obligation,  should  cease  imme- 
diately. As  a  matter  of  fact  such  action  on  the  part  of  the  utilities  has 
been  clearly  in  violation  of  the  provisions  of  the  public  utilities  Isw  since 
May  22,  1911.     (November  21.  1911.)

First  Report.  115 

3.  Toll  Sekticb  to  HONSUBacRiBERS.  It  is  held  by  the  Commission  to 
be  an  unjust  discrimination,  under  the  provisions  of  chapter  288  of  the 
Session  Laws  of  1911,  for  a  telephone  company  to  charge  nonsubscribers 
a  greater  rate  for  toll  service  than  the  company's  own  subscribers  pay 
for  the  same  service.     (November  21,  1911.) 

NoT^. — This  refers  only  to  cafes  where  service  has  been  placed  on  a 
measured  basis. 

4.  Toll  Rate — Same  in  Both  Oibections.  In  the  judgment  of  the 
Commission  the  charging  of  a  higher  rate  far  toll  service  in  one  direc- 
tion than  in  the  reverse  direction,  between  two  given  telephone  stations, 
is  an  unjust  discrimination  and  in  violation  of  the  provisions  of  chapter 
238  of  the  Session  Laws  of  Iflll.     (November  21,  1911.) 

5.  A  telephone  in  a  business  man's  living  apartments  should  be 
charged  the  residence  rate  so  long  as  it  is  not  used  for  business  pur- 
poses.    (No.  107.    November  24,  1911.) 

6.  Mutual  Telephone  Company  Defined.  "A  mutual  telephone 
company  is  defined  by  section  S  of  chapter  238  of  the  Session  Laws  of 
1911  to  be  any  c:;operative  telephone  company  operating  only  for  the 
mutual  benefit  of  its  subscribers,  without  profit  other  than  in  the  service 
received." 

In  the  opinion  of  the  Commission  a  mutual  telephone  company  is  one 
that  is  furnishing  telephone  service  to  members  of  the  association  only 
and  is  not  engaged  in  the  business  of  renting  telephones  or  transmitting 
toll  mesEages  for  the  publit;  for  compensation.  Whenever  any  telephone 
company  attempts  to  serve  the  public  for  compensation  it  becomes  a 
public  utility  and  is  governed  by  the  provisions  of  the  public  utilities  law. 
(December  6,  1911.) 

7.  One  Telephone  for  Two  Subscribers.  The  Commission  is  of  the 
opinion  that  it  would  not  be  a  discrimination  to  give  two  merchants  one 
telephone  and  charge  a  rate  of  one  and  one-half  times  the  regular  rate, 
provided  this  privilege  was  accorded  to  all  alike.     (January  4,  1912.) 

S.  Rooming  and  Boarding  House  Rate.  In  the  judgment  of  the  Com- 
mission the  residence  rate  should  be  accorded  roaming  and  boarding 
houses  until  a  more  satisfactory  showing  Is  made  that  the  use  of  the 
telephone  justifies  the  business  rate.     (January  16,  1912.) 

9.  Desk  Telephone  an  Additional  Facility.  In  the  opinion  of  the 
Commission  a  desk  telephone  is  an  additional  facility  which  the  company 
is  Dot  compelled  to  furnish  at  the  same  rate  chained  for  wall  telephones. 
(No.  226.    January  16,  1912.) 

10.  Rate  for  County  Offices.  The  Commission  is  of  the  opinion  that 
county  offlcers  should  be  charged  the  same  rate  as  other  business  con- 
cerns. Telephones  in  the  residence  of  county  jailers  should  be  charged 
for  at  the  residence  rate  and  not  the  business  rate.     (January  23,  1912.) 

11.  Public  Convenience.  The  duty  rests  upon  the  applicant  to  show 
that  public  convenience  and  necessity  will  be  subserved  by  permitting 
another  utility  to  enter  the  same  field.  In  re  Application  of  P.  E.  Work- 
man.    (No.  179.    February  5,  1912.)

116  PubUe  VUUties  Commission. 

12.  POWSR  OF  THIBO-CLABB  ClTy  TO  BmULATK  TELEPHONE  EATCS.     It 

is  contended  that  th«  Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone  Company  is  sitnaUd 
principally  within  the  city  of  Kinsley  and  principally  operated  for  tlie 
benefit  of  the  people  of  tiiat  city,  and  not  subject  to  control  by  this  Com- 
misaion.  Measured  by  every  standard  fixed  by  the  legislature,  the 
Kinsley  Automatic  Telephone  Company  can  not  fairly  be  said  to  be  situ- 
ated principally  within  the  city  of  Kinsley  nor  even  serving  the  people 
of  that  city  principally.  It  therefore  follows  that  the  company  is  under 
the  Commission's  jurisdiction. 

There  is  no  grant  of  power  in  any  of  the  laws  of  this  state  antborixiiig 
cities  of  the  third  class  to  regulate  the  rates  of  telegraph  or  telephone 
companies  not  situated  and  operated  wholly  or  principally  within  the 
city  or  principally  operated  for  the  benefit  of  such  city  or  its  people. 
(No.  160.    February  27,  1912.) 

13.  In  the  opinion  of  the  Commission  it  is  a  discrimination  to  fumiA 
a  subscriber  a  number  of  individual  line  basineas  telephones  and  charge 
the  regular  business  rate  for  the  first  telephone  and  a  lower  rate  for 
each  additional  phone.  Such  a  practice  is  contrary  to  the  spirit  of  the 
public  utilities  law.     (March  16,  1912.) 

14.  "KNira:  Switch"  Condemned.  The  use  of  the  "knife  switch"  is 
undesirable  from  an  operating  point  of  view.  The  use  of  such  appliances 
frequently  results  in  InefRcient  and  unsatisfactory  service  to  other  sub- 
scribers.    (Mo.  202.    April  16,  1912.) 

15.  COHBINATION  RATE  DiSCBl MINATORY.  In  the  Opinion  of  the  Com- 
mission the  so-called  "combination  rate,"  where  telephone  subscribers 
are  allowed  both  business  and  residence  telephones  for  leas  than  the  sum 
of  the  rates  for  the  two  classes  of  service,  is  a  discrimination  againit 
the  subscribers  who  maintain  but  one  telephone  of  the  same  class,  snd  Che 
practice  should  be  discontinued.     (April  IT,  1912.) 

16.  Teuthones  in  Dspots.  This  statute  requires  the  railway  com- 
panies to  maintain  reasonably  adequate  service,  and  neither  the  railway 
compatqr  nor  the  telephone  company  can  discontinue  such  service  with- 
out the  consent  of  this  Commission.  If  any  telephonic  service  is  inade- 
quate, or  unreasonably  or  unjustly  discriminatory,  then  complaint  can 
be  made  to  this  Commission  under  the  provisions  of  section  2  of  chapter 
1S6  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1911. 

In  the  judgment  of  the  Commission,  railway  companies  are  required  to 
pay  for  telephone  service,  the  same  as  other  subscribers,  unless  other 
arrangements  are  authorized  by  the  Commission.  Whitewater  Tel.  Co.  v. 
Mo.  Pac.  Ry.  Co.     (No.  257.    April  24,  1912.) 

17.  The  use  of  the  telephone  should  determine  the  rate.  If  the 
telephone  company  makes  a  distinction  between  business  bouses  sad 
residences,  the  mere  location  of  the  place  of  business  would  not  be  the 
proper  measure  of  the  rate.  All  business  houses  should  pay  the  basincB 
rate,  regardless  of  whether  they  may  be  upstairs  or  downstairs.  (Msy 
14,  1912.)

4  Western  Univernty. 

At  that  time  Western  University  had  an  incompleted  giiV 
dormitory,  insufficient  heating  facilities,  no  dependable  water 
supply,  no  modem  toilet  facilities  with  scientific  disposal  of 
sewage,  and  only  eight  industries  taught.  Besides,  sevenl  of 
the  buildings,  notably  Stanley  Hall,  used  as  a  boys'  dormitoir 
and  for  offices,  were  in  a  more  or  less  dilapidated  and  un- 
finished condition.  There  was  only  an  old  shell  of  a  ftsine 
bam  and  no  place  for  the  storage  and  protection  of  tools  and 
implements.  The  live  stock  consisted  of  three  horses,  aD 
quite  old. 

.  The  course  of  study  did  not  extend  beyond  four  years  of  so- 
called  normal  vroA,  equivalent  to  the  average  high-school 
course,  two  years  of  which  were  required  for  graduation  in 
any  of  the  trades  or  industries  taught.  Discipline  was  ex- 
ceedingly difficult,  and  flagrant  violations  of  the  rules  no  un- 
common thing. 

We  are  pleased  to  say  that  in  all  these  matters  there  has 
been  a  marl^ed  and  in  some  of  them  a  remarkable  improve- 
ment, as  the  following  citation  of  specific  cases  will  show: 

Grant  HaU,  the  girts'  dormitory,  has  been  finished  at  an  ad- 
ditional cost-  of  f  10.998 ;  a  second  60-borsepower  boiler  has 
been  put  in  and  another  building  connected  to  the  centnU  beat- 
ing plant ;  the  old  tank,  supplied  from  a  spring  which  finally 
failed,  has  given  place  to  the  Kansas  City  water  supply; -a 
terge  scientific  septic  task,  serving  satisfabtorily  three  bnild- 
ingB,'with  pipes  and  connections,  has  been  built  under  tKe  di- 
rection of  the  State  Board  of  Health;  Stanley  Hall  has  been 
renovated  and  repaired  inside  and  out  in  a  very  thorou^ 
.manner,  at  a  cost  of  $7000,  and  a  new  and  commodious  store- 
3<oom  for  supplies  fitted  up  in  the  basement,  resulting  in  the 
;8aving  of  hundredf(  of  dollars'  worth  of  material  and  equip- 
ment; and  a  new  brick  bam  takes  the  place  of  the  old  frame 
structure,  built,  too,  under  the  supervision  of  our  own 'teachers 
and,  in  part,  with  student  labor ;  cow's,  horses,  implements,  con- 
veyances, hay  and  other  feed  and  dairy  equipment  have  all 
been  housed  in  this  bam,  instead  of  t^ng  exposed,  as  was 
necessarily  tme  before  it  was  erected ;  four  cows  and  two  valn- 
ftble  horses  have  been  purchased  and  the  old,  failii)g  boraes 
sold;  an  extension  has  been  added  to  the  boys'  trades  building) 
increasing  its  capacity  for  housing  the  industries  by  one-third, 
and  at  a  cost  of  less  than  $4000;  a  brick  steam  laundry,  onder 
our  own  building  supervision,  has  been  erected,  equipped  and

Report  of  Board  of  Trustees.  S 

is  now  in  succeaaful  operation,  constituting  a  new  and  very 
much  needed  industry.  We  are  indebted  to  Tuskegee  Institute, 
Alabama,  for  the  donation  of  two  good  mangles  for  this 
laundry. 

A  retaining  wall,  greatly  needed,  has  been  built  around  the 
east  and  south  sides  of  the  campus  and  at  the  head  of  a  deep 
ravine,  preserving  the  soil;  cinder  and  brick  sidewalks  have 
been  laid,  shmbs  planted  and  some  roadways  improved.  A 
two  years'  course  above  the  normal  has  been  added  to  our 
curriculum,  and  in  other  ways  we  have  conformed  to  the  re- 
quirements of  the  times,  especially  in  the  addition  of  a  course 
in  agriculture  for  teachers  of  public  schools. 

By  the  liberal  appropriation  of  the  last  legislature,  the  num- 
ber of  industries  taught  has  been  increased  from  eight  ta.over 
twenty. 

The  following  table  shows  tiie  old  and  the  new  industries :

A  total  of  twelve  trades. 

All  these  new  departments  have  been  more  or  less  well 
equipped  and  have  been  in  actual  operation.  Owing  to  the 
poor  demand,  the  bricklaying  and  plastering  departments  have 
been  temporarily  suspended.  The  intention  is  not,  however,  to 
abandon  instruction  in  these  trades  permanently. 

A  first-class  music  department,  employing  four  teachers  and 
largely  attended,  is  also  maintained  by  the  state. 

The  teaching  force  has  grown  in  the  same  time  from  15  to 
28,  in  other  words  has  been  nearly  doubled,  while  the  whole 
faculty  numbers  29.  All  the  additions,  save  two,  have  been  in 
the  industrial  department.

The  last  legislature  appropriated  $2500,  for  two  years,  for 
the  beginning  oi  agricnHmral  work  and  iastractiaB.  ^ntii 
this  money  imi^^naits  and  seed  were  pure^wsed,  around  pre- 
pared and  i^nted,  fences  repaired,  a  small  dairy  room  fitted 
up  and  partly-  equipped,  lalxn-  employed,  and  a  general  start 
made  in  the  development  of  the  department — ^to  oar  mind,  one 
of  the  most  important  in  the  s<^ool  and  one  in  which  TTatiMm, 
as  an  agricultural  state,  has  the  greatest  interest. 

Tfae  attendance  has  be«t  small,  especially  from  Kansas  stu- 
dents, as  our  youns  pe(4>le  seon  to  \ook  toward  the  attractions 
of  city  life  rather  than  the  freer,  more  indepoident  and  proa- 
perous  life  m  the  farm.  Since,  hvwarer,  our  eonceptimi  af  a 
school's  work  is  that  it  should  create  a  desire  for  that  wbiefa  is 
best,  as  well  aa  train  for  it,  we  feel  that  the  greater  reason  for 
persevering  exists  because  of  this  injurious  tendency  toward 
the  city.  It  is  the  policy  of  Superintendent  Kealing  and  this 
Board  to  guide  the  youth  of  this  race  iirto  thoae  happy  and 
profitable  channels  of  soil  caKivation  which  are  being  so  gen- 
erally and  wonderfully  exploited  by  Caaeasian  AmericMis. 

ft  is  true  the  soil  of  Western  Univeratty  is  aot  ideally 
adapted  to  general  agrieuHure,  bang  rough  aad  hilly,  Umh^

are,  therefore,  asking  that  the  appropriaticHi  be  continued,  so

Figures  taken  from  the  registrar's  reeords  show  that  for 
the  five  years  past  there  has  been  a  total  registration  oS  1481 
students.  'Hie  enrolbnait  for  this  year  ts  already  200,  106  of 
whom  are  from  Kansas.  Uanally  a  eonsldentble  number  of 
new  students  come  in  after  Christmas,  w*ile  the  mroHment 
above  is  only  to  December  1,  1913.  The  regular  enrollment 
last  year  was  338.  We  probably  shalf  not  quite  reach  that 
figure  this  3%ar,  because  the  burning  of  the  boys'  dormitory, 
April  4,  1912,  left  us  short  of  room,  and  many  have  renaalned 
away,  because  they  felt  that  they  couM  net  be  accommodated. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  we  have  as  many  beys  now  as  we  can  talte 
-without  crowding. 

Not  until  the  year  1907  did  one  of  our  graduates  ent«-  a  uni- 
versity for  further  study,  and  then  an  NtaminatiMi  was  re- 
quired, while  during  the  last  four  years  twelve  greduatee  have 
entered  higher  institutions  wititoat  entrance  examfaiatloBB. 
This  bespeaks  better  work  here,  of  course.  From  the  year 
1900  to  1912  this  institution  has  sent  out  SSS  gradustea.  The 
first  graduating  class  (1900)  contained  8  peratms;  tbe  last 
(1912),  89. 

The  question  is  frequently  asked,  "What  are  your  graduates 
doing?"  Here  is  a  partial  answer:  One  is  a  wealthy  stotA- 
dealer  and  fanner  in  western  Kansas,  controlling  and  owning

1000  acres  of  land ;  one  is  engaged  in  the  clothing  business  is 
Moberly,  Mo.;  one  is  a  practicing  physician  in  Kansas  City, 
Kan.;  six  are  clergymen  located  in  different  sections;  seven 
are  now  ofBcially  connected  with  their  alma  mater,  to  wit,  as 
librarian,  assistant  in  science  and  mathematics,  assistants  in 
music,  assistant  in  the  commercial  department,  stenographer  in 
the  fiscal  agoit's  office,  registrar  and  bandmaster.  Forty-flye 
are  teaching  school  4n  Kansas,  Missouri,  Oklahoma,  Alabama, 
Kentucky,  Arizona  and  Washington,  D.  C,  and  one  in  the  au- 
ditor's office  at  Tuskegee  Institute.  Twenty-one  are  pursuing 
higher  courses  in  universities  from  Boston  to  California;  three 
have  received  degrees  from  other  colleges;  one  a  diploma  from 
Howard  University;  Ave  have  enlisted  in  the  United  States 
army,  one  of  whom  is  a  noncommissioned  officer;  one  served 
three  years  as  a  noncommissioned  officer  in  the  Philippines, 
receiving  an  honorable  discharge  and  several  medals  as  an  ex- 
pert marksman ;  one  has  served  as  secretary  to  ex-Congress- 
man Meikeljohn  of  Nebraska;  five  are  successful  farmers;  one 
is  a  general  bookkeeper  in  a  negro  bank ;  one  is  a  secretary  of  a 
real  estate  corporation  in  Texas;  ten  are  engaged  in  dress- 
making and  tailoring;  fo^ur  are  serving  as  government  railway 
postal  clerks;  nineteen  are  stenographers:  eight  are  music 
teachers ;  and  six  are  trained  nurses. 

It  will  be  seen  from  the  above  facts  that  Western  University 
graduates  do  not,  as  a  rule,  disappear  from  view;  but,  instead, 
enter  into  active  and  productive  life. 

I  have  also  been  aaked,  "What  use  has  been  made  of  the 
appropriation  of  $105,698  given  by  the  last  legislature?" 
While  the  flgures  in  the  minutest  detail  will  be  found  ap- 
pended to  this  report,  it  is  well  to  state  succinctly  and  in  gea- 
eral  outline  the  directions  of  expenditures : 

The  sum  of  $60,000  was  given  for  maintenance  for  two 
years.  This  sum  has  been  used  for  salaries,  wages,  apd  for  in- 
dustrial supplies  for  the  twenty-odd  departments.  The  fixed 
salary  roll  is  about  $2400  a  month  for  nine  months  or  a  scho- 
lastic year.  Some  coal  and  the  freight  on  all  coal  has  bees 
taken  from  this  fund  also. 

The  sum  of  $10,998  was  spent  to  complete  Grant  Hall,  the 
new  girls'  dormitory;  $7000  was  used  for  the  complete  reno- 
vation and  repair  of  Stanley  Hall,  used  for  offices,  classrooms 
and  dormitory.  This  includes  modem  toilet  facilities  and 
connections.

Report  of  Board  of  Trustees.  9 

For  the  two  years,  J8000  was  allowed  for  equipment  and 
supplies  of  departments.  This  was  not  sufficient  for  full 
equipment,  and  was  all  used.  The  $3000  for  laundry  building 
and  machinery  was  so  expended.  Of  the  $6000  allowed  for  an 
extension  of  the  boys'  trades  building,  $4915  was  so  expended 
and  $1086  reverted  to  the  state  treasury. 

For  a  new  boiler  in  the  central  heating  plant  $2500  was  al- 
lowed ;  $2491.70  of  this  was  expended.  Of  the  library  fund 
$267  reverted  to  the  state  treasury.  Of  the  landscape  fund 
$267.07  reverted.  Of  the  $2500  appropriated  for  a  water  tank 
$872.60  reverted  after  securing,  for  $1627.50  spent,  the  most 
abundant  water  supply  we  have  ever  had.  Of  the  $600  for 
gymnasium  $44.68  reverted.  Of  the  $500  for  retaining  wall 
$28.66  reverted.  The  $1600  for  a  bam  was  so  used,  giving  us 
a  building  worth  over  $2600  by  the  contract  being  taken  by  one 
of  the  industrial  departments  of  the  school.  The  appropria- 
tion-for  agriculture  was  $2600.  This  has  been  or  is  in  the 
process  of  being  used.  It  is  a  small  amount  for  the  purpose, 
but  a  creditable  showing  has  been  made  with  it.  The  appro- 
priations of  $260  for  cows  and  $360  for  horses  have  been  used 
for  those  purposes. 

Owing  to  the  lack  of  an  appropriation  for  fuel  and  freight, 
through  oversight,  and  a  number  of  imforeseen  demands, 
there  is  a  deficiency  of  $2400  in  certain  funds,  but  to  offset 
this  there  is  a  reversion  of  $2832.71  in  other  funds,  as  shown 
above,  so  that  the  legislature  in  voting  this  deficiency  does  not 
iticreaae  by  one  cent  the  amount  necessaiy  for  the  expenses  for 
the  last  two  years ;  and  when  it  is  taken  into  account  that  our 
estimates  for  two  years'  maintenance  were  cut  down  by  the 
amount  of  $20,000,  requiring  a  readjustment  of  our  plans 
accordingly,  we  feel  that  the  evidence  of  wise  and  economical 
management  is  conclusive.   The  closest  scrutiny  is  invited. 

We  have  carefully  canvassed  the  needs  of  the  institution  for 
the  next  two  years,  and  after  the  closest  elimination  of  all  dis- 
cardable items  we  present  the  following  budget  of  appropria- 
tions as  necessary  for  the  maintenance  and  operation  of  the 
school:

BOARD  OF  REGENTS'  REPORT. 


The  University  op  Kansas, 

Lawrence,  July  l,  1912. 
To  the  Honorable  Governor  of  the  State  of  Kansas: 

The  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University  of  Kansas  has  the 
honor  to  make  the  following  report  in  regard  to  the  University 
for  the  two  years  ending  June  30, 1912 : 
ENROLLMENT. 

The  enrollment  of  the  University  during  the  two  years  just 
passed  has  been  satisfactory.  Conditions  in  the  state  have  not 
justified  rapid  growth  in  college  or  university  enrollment.  The 
total  enrollment  tor  the  years  1910-'ll  and  1911-'I2  was  4837, 
being  2400  for  the  first  year  and  2437  for  the  second  year  of 
the  biennium.  The  total  enrollment  for  the  biennium  just 
preceding  was  4513,  making  a  total  increase  during  the  last 
two  years  of  324.  Besides  this  the  summer  school  of  health 
officers  held  at  the  University  has  totaled  94,  and  a  large  num- 
ber have  received  instruction  in  some  form  through  the  depart- 
ment of  University  Extension. 

DEGREES  GRANTED.

SCHOLARSHIP. 


The  standard  of  scholarship  of  the  University  has  been 
steadily  rising.  The  Registrar  of  the  University  recently  made 
a  careful  examination  into  the  scholarship  standing  of  the  in- 
stitution, and  his  exhaustive  report  in  that  regard  is  worthy 
of  consideration.  The  report  covers  a  tabulated  study  of  uni- 
versity scholarship  for  the  year  1910-'ll.  Being  the  first 
complete  and  exhaustive  report  that  has  been  made  at  the 
University,  it  serves  as  a  basis  for  comparison  for  all  succeed- 
ing years,  and  each  year  hereafter  a  complete  survey  of  tha 
scholarship  standing  of  the  institution  will  be  made.  A  sum- 
mary of  the  report  shows  that  but  1.9  per  cent  of  the  men  were 
total  failures  and  but  0.29  per  cent  of  the  women ;  that  taking 
the  University  as  a  whole,  both  men  and  women,  but  1.3  per 
cent  were  total  failures.  The  most  accurate  indication  of 
scholarship  standing  of  the  University,  however,  is  shown  by 
the  percentage  of  hours  failed  and  the  percentage  of  hours 
passed.  The  report  shows  that  among  the  men  there  were 
88.09  per  cent  hours  passed  and  11.91  per  cent  of  hours  failed; 
that  among  the  women  there  were  94.9  per  cent  hours  passed 
and  5.1  per  cent  hours  failed.  Talking  the  University  as  a 
whole,  men  and  women  together,  there  were  90.2  per  cent 
hours  passed  and  9.8  per  cent  hours  failed.  There  were  54,020 
hours  of  work  carried  during  the  year,  34,2  per  cent  receiv- 
ing the  highest  scholarship  mark  of  "I,"  35.7  per  cent,  the  sec- 
ond scholarship  mark  of  "II,"  and  but  20.3  per  cent,  the  low- 
est scholarship  mark  of  "III." 

The  University  still  maintains  its  position  in  the  Associa- 
tion of  American  Universities,  being  one  of  the  twenty-t*' 
standard  scholarship  institutions  in  North  America.  It  de- 
sires to  maintain  its  standing  as  one  of  the  few  standard  uni- 
versities. 

NUMBER  OP  UNIVERSITY  TEACHERS. 
There  are  at  the  University  (year  1911-'12)  174  teachers 
rendering  full  service  on  salary  to  the  institution.  These  are 
of  the  following  grades :  48  professors,  29  associate  profes- 
sors, 51  assistant  professors,  46  intructors.  Of  this  number 
9  give  their  entire  time  to  state  work.  There  are  also  12  as- 
sistants who  give  a  part  of  their  time  to  teaching,  making  a 
total  of  186.  As  a  matter  of  comparison  it  is  interesting  to 
notice  that  the  catalogue  of  one  of  the  large  state  universities

Regents'  Repobt.  6 

snows  &  total  of  523  teachers  as  compared  with  186  teachera 
in  the  University  of  Kansas.  The  enrollment  at  the  university 
in  question  is  4927,  and  that  of  the  University  of  Kansas  2437. 
In  other  words,  the  teaching  force  at  the  University  of  Kansas 
is  below,  in  numbers,  the  requirement  for  the  beat  service, 
NUMBER  OP  HOURS  WOBK. 

The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Efficiency  of  the  Commis- 
sion on  Higher  Education,  formed  by  the  joint  boards  of  the 
three  state  institutions,  shows  that  the  teaching  force  of  the 
University  is  pushed  to  the  limit  of  endurance.  A  consider- 
able increase  in  the  teaching  force  should  be  provided  at  once. 
SALARIES. 

The  salaries  at  the  University  of  Kansas  are  altogether  too 
low.  The  discrepancy  between  the  salaries  at  the  University 
of  Kansas  and  those  of  other  institutions  with  which  we  must 
necessarily  compete  is  too  great.  Generally  speaking,  to  main- 
tain a  high  standard  of  scholarship  and  teaching  efficiency  it 
is  necessary  that  the  salaries  here,  after  allowing  for  difference 
in  location,  cost  of  living  and  the  general  standard  of  com- 
munity expense,  should  be  about  the  same  as  in  other  standard 
institutions.  In  this  regard  the  University  of  Kansas  falls 
far  below  nearly  all  other  institutions  of  its  class,  and  its 
efficiency  is  endangered  constantly  by  the  drawing  off  of  ex- 
cellent men  to  other  institutions.  The  University  of  Kanstid 
has  lost  a  large  number  of  promising  men  during  the  last  few 
years,  notably  among  others,  Professor  William  C.  Hoad,  who 
has  been  of  such  practical  service  to  the  state.  It  is  impera- 
tive that  the  salaries  be  increased  at  once. 
STATE  WORK. 

The  state  service  work  of  the  University  has  grown  to  very 
large  proportions.  The  University  of  Kansas  seems  to  have 
been  one  of  the  very  first  institutions  in  America  to  respond  to 
this  need  of  serving  the  state.  It  began  formally  in  the  year 
1868,  when  the  Chancellor  of  the  University  was  made  State 
Sealer  of  Public  Weights  and  Measures,  and  has  increased  un- 
til the  volume  of  work  done  by  the  University  of  Kansas  is 
perhaps  second  to  no  other  institution  except  the  University 
of  Wisconsin.  It  is  probable,  also,  that  according  to  the 
amount  of  its  income  the  volume  of  state  service  work  done 
heie  is  as  great  as  that  in  any  other  university.    During  the 


ly  Google 


6  The  University  of  Kansas. 

past  two  years  the  University  has  added  new  lines  of  state 
service  work,  because  of  the  very  strong  demand  for  the  help 
of  the  University  in  many  new  lines  of  activity.  The  Univer- 
sity is  now  giving:  the  full  time  of  one  professor  to  the  Public 
Utilities  Commission ;  tiie  time  of  one  man  to  the  State  Board 
of  Health,  in  connection  with  water  supply  and  sewage  dis- 
posal;  the  full  time  of  one  professor  to  the  development  of  state 
flsh  hatcheries ;  the  time  of  three  men  to  the  State  Board  of 
Health  in  drug  laboratories,  two  in  the  food  laboratories,  two 
men  in  the  water  analysis  laboratory ;  and  will,  beginning  in 
September,  1912,  give  the  greater  part  of  the  time  of  one  man 
to  the  bacteriological  work  of  the  state.  In  addition  it  gives,  in 
total,  a  vast  amount  of  time  through  a  large  number  of  teach- 
ers who  serve  the  state  intermittently,  as  does  the  Engineering 
School  in  connection  with  the  "blue  aky"  law  in  determining 
whether  certain  inventions  are  worthy  to  be  put  on  the  market, 
the  Utilities  Commission  in  connection  with  the  supply  of 
natural  gas  and  the  correctness  of  gas  meters,  and  so  on 
through  an  almost  numberless  array  of  different  state  activi- 
ties. Many  of  these  have  had  to  be  assumed  since  the  legisla- 
ture made  its  last  appropriation  and  were  not  counted  on  in 
the  budget.  The  total  amount  of  funds  that  must  go  annually 
to  them  is  estimated  to  be  about  $50,000.  Their  support  has 
brought  a  very  great  pressure  upon  the  University  in  connec- 
tion with  its  most  important  activity,  namely,  its  function  as 
a  teaching  institution.  It  would  be  nothing  short  of  suicidal  to 
have  a  lesser  function,  like  that  of  state  service,  cripple  the 
first  and  most  important  function  of  an  institution  for  which 
it  was  first  established  and  in  which  it  may  do  its  greatest 
service  to  the  community.  The  University,  therefore,  should 
be  provided  with  ample  funds  to  take  care  of  all  the  state 
service  work  without  in  the  least  encroaching  upon  funds  nec- 
essary for  an  ample  adjustment  of  its  teaching  relations.

Regents'  Report. 


A  SURVEY  OF  THE  STATE  SERVICE  WORK  OF  THE 
UNIVERSITY  OF  KANSAS. 
Unless  otherwise  stated,  this  state  service  work  is  done  by 
the  members  of  the  faculty  in  an  official  capacity  through  the 
University.  So  far  as  possible  the  work  is  classiiied  under  the 
varioua  schools  of  the  University.  Where  the  work  is  being 
done  for  the  state  or  federal  government,  attention  is  called  to 
that  fact. 

THE  SCHOOL  OF  ENGINEERING. 

1.  Investigations'  for  the  State  Bank  Commissioner,  under 
the  "blue  sky"  law,  of  new  schemes,  which  may  be  good  or 
bad,  by  companies  for  various  kinds.  Among  the  subjects  in- 
vestigated are  a  perfection  oil  burner,  an  adjustable  hub  plate, 
and  a  new  type  of  electric  battery. 

2.  Physical  valuation  of  the  railroads  of  Kansas  for  the 
Kansas  Public  Utilities  Commission.  The  entire  time  of  one 
member  of  the  faculty  of  the  School  of  Engineering  is  devoted 
to  this  work. 

3.  An  inquiry  into  the  supply  of  gas  available  to  Kansas 
City,  Mo.     (Unofficial.) 

4.  The  testing  of  Kansas  brick. 

5.  An  investigation  of  the  heat  value  of  Kansas  coals  and 
the  lubricating  value  of  Kansas  oils. 

6.  The  testing  of  gas  meters. 

7.  The  testing  of  cements. 

8.  Advisory  service  on  reinforced  concrete  construction, 
(Unofficial.) 

9.  A  study  of  the  gas  supply  of  Kansas  for  the  Kansas 
Public  Utilities  Commission. 

10.  The  calibration  of  electrical  measuring  instruments. 

11.  Advice  on  flood  prevention  and  drainage  plans.  (Un- 
official.) 

12.  Testing  of  Kansas  stone  for  use  in  road  buildiiig, 

13.  The  installation  and  inspection  of  municipal  electric 
lighting  plants. 

14.  Work  for  the  State  Board  of  Health.  A  member  of  the

ing  into  effect  the  provisions  of  the  act  of  the  state  legislature 
to  preserve  the  purity  of  the  waters  of  the  state,  for  the  pro- 
tection of  the  public  health,  etc.  It  is  the  duty  of  this  engineer 
to  investigate  and  report  upon  all  matters  relating  to  wat«r 
supply  and  sewerage  and  the  pollution  of  the  waters  of  the 
state  that  may  come  before  the  State  Board  of  Health  for  in- 
vestigation and  action,  and  to  make  such  recommendations  in 
relation  thereto  as  he  may  deem  wise  and  proper.  Hence  all 
water  supply  and  sewerage  plans  are  approved  by  him.  An 
assistant  engineer  is  also  employed  for  this  work. 
THE  SCHOOL  OF  PHARMACY. 

1.  Investigation  of  poisonous  plants,  as,  for  example,  the

THE  STATE  GEOLOGICAL  SUKVEY. 

The  University  Geological  Survey  of  Kansas  was  organized 
by  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University  in  1894,  under  the 
general  authority  given  them  by  law.  The  object  of  the  Sur- 
vey is  to  give  a  complete  exposition  of  the  geological  and  min- 
eralogical  resources  of  the  state,  including  all  subjects  of 
economic  and  scientific  importance.  By  provision  of  the  law 
the  Chancellor  of  the  University  is  ex  officio  director  of  the 
survey,  and  the  head  of  the  department  of  geology  and  min- 
ing is  superintendent  and  state  geologist.  The  results  already 
obtained  have  been  of  great  value  to  the  state,  especially  in 
the  development  of  cOal,  oil,  gas,  Portland  cement,  gypsum  and 
its  products,  and  clay  manufactories.  The  Survey  has  pub- 
lished many  reports  of  its  work.

Regents'  Report.  17 

Student  Life. 

The  common  student  life  at  the  University  of  Kansas  is  on 
the  whole  sound  and  arenuine.  It  is  on  an  unusually  high  plane 
of  conduct.  No  community  life,  however,  is  without  its 
dangers  and  its  problems.  The  student  body  itself,  the  faculty 
and  the  Board  of  Regents  are  grappling  with  these  difficulties 
and  dangers  in  a  genuine  and  effective  fashion.  The  Univer- 
sity is  a  part  of  the  community.  The  problems  that  confront 
the  state  of  Kansas  in  its  social,  political  and  economic  life  are 
immediately  feit  in  the  University  of  the  state;  and  yet  the 
citizenship  of  this  small  community  which  we  call  the  Univer- 
sity, together  with  its  governing  bodies,  is  attacking  its  own 
problems  with  less  commotion,  probably,  and  with  as  much 
sanity  and  coherence  and  less  dissension  than  the  larger  com- 
munity of  which  it  is  a  part. 

The  University  student  governing  bodies  have  on  the  whole 
acted  with  wisdom  and  justice.  Much  of  the  discipline  of  the 
institution  has  come  into  their  hands,  and  will  remain  there 
just  so  long  as  their  actions  show  them  to  be  proper  agencies 
for  its  administration.  It  is  confidently  expected  that  they 
will  always  remain  important  agencies  in  the  informal  govern- 
ment of  the  University. 

Reorganization  of  the  University. 

The  rapid  growth  of  the  University,  the  increase  during 
the  last  ten  years  from  an  enrollment  of  1238  to  one  of  2487, 
a  large  increase  in  the  teaching  force,  and  an  enormous  in- 
crease in  the  complexity  of  the  University  and  in  the  number 
of  its  activities,  have  made  necessary  some  reorganization  of 
its  administration.  This  matter  is  being  carefully  worked  out  . 
by  a  committee  of  twenty-one,  made  up  of  men  from  all  of  the 
schools  of  the  University,  who  are  giving  the  matter  the  most 
careful  consideration.  Their  action  will  doubtless  point  the 
way  for  improvement  in  the  University  administration  and  to 
more  efficient  methods  of  carrying  on  its  activities. 

New  /Lctivitiea  of  the  University. 

I.  School  of  Education.  The  School  of  Education  has  in  a 
remarkably  short  time  proven  its  place  in  the  University  and 
demonstrated  its  necessity.  It  has  already  reached  a  place  of 
importance  and  leadership  in  the  educational  life  of  the  state. 
There  seems  to  be  every  reason  to  believe  that  it  will  be  one  of

coherence  and  efficiency  of  its  work.  The  teachers  of  the  clin- 
ical department  of  the  school  are  as  rapidly  as  possible  being 
placed  on  a  salary,  so  that  they  may  give  their  time  and  their 
first  thought  to  the  institution,  where  their  primary  interest 
will  lie.  In  other  words,  the  School  of  Medicine  has  been 
placed,  so  far  as  its  educational  and  intellectual  standards  are 
concerned,  on  the  same  basis  as  any  other  part  of  the  institu- 
tion, and  its  teaching  will  be  handled  in  precisely  the  same 
manner  as  the  teaching  of  any  other  professional  school  in  ihe 
institution.  The  new  hospital,  to  be  used  as  a  state  hospital, 
was  completed  in  October,  1911.  It  is  a  beautiful  building  and 
thoroughly  adapted  to  its  purpose,  and  has  proved  to  be  an 
effective  instrument  in  connection  with  the  teaching  of  medi- 
cine. It  is  almost  entirely  a  teaching  institution  and  not  a 
private  hospital,  only  eight  beds  out  of  sixty-four  being  usa- 
ble for  private  patients.  For  that  reason  those  who  resort 
to  this  hospital  are  usable  by  the  school  for  teaching  purposes, 
and  students  have  at  hand  a  first-class  laboratory  for  the  study 
of  human  medicine.  The  county  cases  sent  in  under  the 
county  indigent  poor  law  have  proved  to  be  large  in  number 
and  to  afford  invalual^  clinical  material.  The  niimb«r  of 
county  cases  sent  in  under  this  law  is  over  one  hundred.

3.  Journalism.  The  Department  of  Journalism  has  been 
enlarged  and  provided  with  a  new  plant  and  a  new  location 
during  the  past  year.  A  head  of  the  department  on  full  time 
was  appointed  in  August  of  1911,  and  into  his  hands  was 
given  the  whole  matter  of  University  publicity.  Its  work  has 
largely  increased  in  amount  and  efficiency,  and  its  influence  in 
the  University  is  constantly  increasing.  The  work  in  journal- 
ism proved  successful  from  the  first.  The  department  has 
grown  normally,  and  the  work  that  it  has  done  has  been  tested 
by  experience  in  actual  life. 

4.  University  Extension.  University  Extension  has  devel- 
oped largely  during  the  past  two  years,  and  is  assuming  pro- 
portions rightfully  belonging  to  such  work  in  an  institution  d 
the  character  of  the  University  of  Kansas.  Your  attention  is 
respectfully  called  to  the  reports  of  the  University  Extension 
Division,  which  will  show  the  great  variety  of  work  and  the 
remarkable  amount  of  work  done  by  this  University  agency. 

5.  Home  Economics.  The  work  in  Home  Economics  is  now 
based  upon  a  requirement  of  two  years  of  college  work.  It 
therefore  occupies  an  advanced  position  as  to  standards.  The 
work  done  has  been  efficient,  and  the  department  is  more  and 
more  occupying  a  position  of  influence.  There  can  be  no  doubt 
about  the  demand  for  such  work  in  a  university  course,  and  in 
regard  to  the  University  being  justified  in  offering  whatever 
work  in  home  economics  may  be  necessary  in  the  field  of  the 
University  itself.  The  department  has  been  of  considerable 
practical  use  to  the  University  in  connection  with  occasions 
when  the  institution  must  act  as  host  and  provide  lunches  for 
a  considerable  number  of  visitors.  The  work  in  this  respect 
has  shown  very  conclusively  that  the  general  department  work 
has  been  well  and  thoroughly  done. 

New  Buildings. 

Besides  the  new  hospital  building  at  Rosedale,  to  be  used  as 
a  state  hospital  in  connection  with  the  School  of  Medicine,  the 
Univer^ty  has  finished  during  the  past  two  years  the  first

Regents'  Report.  21 

wing  of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  building  at  a  cost  of  ?125,- 
000,  for  which  appropriation  was  made  before  the  beginning 
of  the  biennium  of  July  1,  1910,  This  building  is  fireproof, 
built  after  an  impressive  architectural  design,  and  is  a  part  of 
a  large  and  important  memorial  building  which  is  to  be  the 
center  of  the  building  scheme  of  the  University.  It  provides 
mainly  for  departments  in  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts,  namely, 
the  departments  of  mathematics,  philosophy  and  psychology, 
economics,  sociology,  history  and  political  science.  The  upper 
floor  is  also  occupied  by  the  department  of  drawing,  painting 
and  design,  part  of  which  is  in  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts 
and  part  in  the  School  of  Fine  Arts.  There  will  become  avail- 
able on  .Tuly  1,  1912,  an  appropriation  of  $42,600  for  the  ex-, 
cavation.  and  foundation  of  the  connecting  link  and  central 
portion  of  the  large  building  just  mentioned.  It  is  expected 
that  the  next  legislature  will  provide  for  the  superstructure  of 
this  connecting  link  and  central  portion,  which  will  be  used 
largely  for  administrative  offices.  The  present  administrative 
offices  of  the  University  are  absurdly  inadequate,  being  smaller 
and  more  illy  equipped  than  the  offices  of  many  high  school?. 
It  is  imperative  that  the  executive  side  of  the  University  be 
better  housed  and  have  better  opportunity  to  do  its  work. 

The  University  has  also- built  and  equipped  a  clay-working 
laboratory,  at  a  cost  of  |7500.  This  laboratory  was  placed  at 
the  south  end  of  the  ore-testing  laboratory  of  the  Mining 
building,  the  combination  being  a  happy  one  and  affording 
power  for  both.  The  work  in  clay  testing  will  be  pushed 
rapidly  and  will  have  both  its  commercial  and  artistic  sides, 
and  there  is  every  reason  to  expect  a  most  important  and  valu- 
able outcome  for  the  state  of  Kansas  from  an  examination  into 
material  for  the  exceedingly  valuable  and  important  clay  in- 
dustry. 

Cost  of  Living, 

There  seems  to  be  no  indication  of  a  lowering  of  the  cost  of 
living.  The  present  high  cost  is  a  serious  drain  upon  the 
salaries  of  university  men.  Nor  can  it  be  charged  that  they 
are  not  careful  and  economical  in  their  expenditures.  They 
as  a  class  are  unusually  conservative  in  this  respect,  and  yet  the 
burden  of  the  increased  cost  of  living  has  become  so  great  as  to 
be  a  serious  problem.  In  connection  with  this  must  be  considered 
the  relative  standard  of  living  in  a  community  like  Lawrence. 


ly  Google 


22  The  Univebsity  of  Kansas. 

This  as  compared  with  large  communities  is  conservative,  anil 
yet  it  too  is  changing,  not  only  in  Lawrence,  but  in  prac- 
tically every  community  in  Kansas.  These  standards  uoi- 
'versity  and  college  men  are  compelled  to  conform  to.  As  we 
took  occasion  to  say  two  years  ago,  we  feel  certain  that  the 
salaries  of  the  University  are  now,  to  all  Intents  and  purposes, 
lower  than  they  have  ever  been  in  the  history  of  the  institu- 
tion. 

Per  Capita  Cost  of  Education  ajid  Ratio  of  Students  to 
Teachers. 
The  investigations  of  the  Committee  on  Efficiency  of  the 
Commission  on  Higher  Education  serve  to  corroborate  what 
has  been  brought  to  your  attention  before,  namely,  that  the 
per  capita  cost  of  education  at  the  University  of  Kansas  is 
much  lower  than  the  average  in  institutions  of  its  class  and 
much  lower  than  it  ought  to  be.  They  serve  to  show,  also, 
that  the  average  number  of  students  to  a  teacher  was  consid- 
erably in  excess  of  the  average  of  other  institutions  of  like 
grade  with  the  University,  and  considerably  above  what  should 
obtain  if  the  University  is  to  give  the  individual  attention  so 
necessary  for  the  best  training.  A  good  example  of  this  is 
to  be  found  in  a  recent  report  of  Reed  College,  an  institution 
recently  established  in  Portland,  Oregon,  for  the  same  char- 
acter of  work  as  is  done  by  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and 
Sciences  at  the  University  of  Kansas.  There  the  attempt  is 
being  made  to  conduct  the  work  on  a  basis  of  reasonable  eflt- 
ciency,  using  the  general  experience  of  educational  institutions 
as  a  basis,  for  it  has  been  clearly  demonstrated  that  there  is 
no  guide  so  sure  as  the  actual  experience  of  a  considerable 
number  of  standard  institutions  in  North  America  as  to  what 
ought  to  be  a  reasonable  average  as  to  per  capita  cost  and  ratio 
of  students  to  teachers.  In  the  Reed  College  catalogue  of 
1911-'12,  on  pages  20  to  24,  inclusive,  the  statement  is  made 
that  experts  in  the  iield  of  higher  education  are  agreed  that 
the  most  trustworthy  tests  of  the  teaching  efficioicy  of  col- 
leges that  may  be  applied  to  all  institutions  are  the  folktwing: 
First,  the  standard  of  entrance  requiremoits  and  the  manner 
in  which  they  are  enforced;  second,  the  average  salary  of  the 
teaching  force ;  third,  ttvc  ratio  of  students  to  teacbms ;  foartli. 
the  per  capita  cost  of  each  student  or  the  coat  of  maintaiance 
of  each  student  per  year.     The  University  of  Kansas  con-  •

Regents'  Report.  2S 

forms  thoroughly  to  the  standard  in  regard  to  entrance 
requirements  and  the  manner  in  which  they  are  enforced. 
It  does  not,  however,  conform  to  the  standard  in  re- 
gard to  the  salary  of  teachers,  the  ratio  of  students  to  teach- 
ers, or  the  per  capita  cost  for  each  student.  For  example,  the 
average  salary  of  all  teachers  at  Reed  College  is  $2385 ;  that 
of  the  University  is  very  much  lower,  being  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  $1600.  In  Reed  College  the  ratio  of  students  to  teach- 
ers is  10,  while  in  the  University  of  Kansas  it  varies  in  differ- 
ent years  from  16  to  18  and  20.  In  Reed  College  the  cost  per 
student  is  $410.  The  per  capita  cost  at  the  University  of  Kan- 
sas varies  between  $170  and  $176 ;  this,  too,  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  the  University,  unlike  Reed  College,  has  many  profes- 
sional schools  and  technical  dqwrtments  where  the  per  capita 
cost  is  necessarily  much  greater  than  in  the  College  of  Libera! 
Arts. 
Increase  in  Adminiatration. 

Two  years  ago  we  called  the  attention  of  the  Governor  to 
the  fact  that  the  growth  of  the  Uaivessity  was  increasing 
largely  the  amount  of  adminiatrative  woric  necessary.  It  was 
pointecl  out  that  the  Hniversky  of  even  a  decade  ago  has  passed 
away,  never  to  return.  The  modem  university  is  a  much 
more  comi^eK  institution  tlum  the  university  of  ten  years  ago, 
and  this  growing  oaanplexity  adds  greatly  to  the  burdens  of 
admiaistration.  The  inarease  in  administrative  duties  makes 
it  neoessary  to  withtbBw  certain  men  wholly  or  partially  from 
the  teaching  of.clasaes.  Very  oft^  theee  men  are  the  best 
teachers  that  we  have,  and  administrative  burdens  that  must 
necessarily  fall  on  them  greatly  interfere  sometimes  with 
their  teaching  function,  and  especially  with  their  ability  to 
conduct  investigation  and  research  and  thus  increase  the 
boundaries  of  knowledge,  or  to  enter  upon  state  service  work 
and  therefore  be  of  immediate  use  to  the  state.  This  condi- 
tion of  affairs  calls  for  an  increase  in  the  teaching  force  of 
the  institution,  for  the  time  that  is  taken  for  administrative 
■work  must  be  made  up  by  the  addition  of  other  teachers  to 
supply  the  necessary  teaching  time, 

iMck  of  PernMTieni  Income. 

The  Univonity  of  Kansas  still  labors  under  the  very  great 
handiow  of  having  no  pennanent  source  of  income  ^cept  a 
veiv  smalt  one  of  mtereat  on  its  land  fund,  amounting  to  about 


ly  Google 


24  The  University  op  Kansas. 

$7200  per  year.  This  situation  should  have  the  earnest  at- 
tention of  all  interested  in  higher  education  in  the  state  of 
Kansas.  Some  means  should  be  devised  for  supplying  the 
University  with  a  permanent  income  larsre  enough  to  pw 
stability  and  permanency  to  the  life  of  the  institution. 

Fish  and  Game. 

The  University  has  been  responsible  in  the  main  for  the  can.- 
duct  of  the  fish  and  game  department  of  the  state  and  has 
borne  the  full  salary  of  the  warden.  To  the  best  of  our  knowl- 
ed^  «nd  belief  the  work  has  been  excellently  done,  and  tlw 
present  method  of  administering  the  same  is  a  success  and 
will  commend  itself  to  the  people  of  the  state.  But  one  year 
has  ipassed  under  the  present  law,  and  it  is  too  early  to  mak<! 
definite  recomnaendations  to  the  next  l^iislature  in  retard  to 
the  further  enlargement  of  the  fish  and  game  department  A 
report  will  be  made  in  due  time  to  the  legislature  itself. 

Weir  City  Mining  School. 

The  Board  of  Regents  found  itself  in  a  very  difficult  situa- 
tion in  regard  to  administering  the  Weir  City  mining  bill. 
The  bill  itself  seemed  indefinite  in  regard  to  the  establahmoit 
of  the  school  and  certain  other  features  in  connection  there- 
with. The  Board  of  Regents  felt  in  doubt  as  to  its  rights  and 
duties  in  the  matter,  and  after  taking  l^ral  advice  felt  that  ita 
authority  was  too  indefinite  for  it  to  proceed  without  the  sanc' 
tion  of  the  courts.  There  are  grave  matters  of  policy  txsi- 
nected  with  the  whole  matter,  and  the  question  of  duplication 
and  the  relation  of  a  new  state  school  to  the  whole  question  o! 
reorganization  of  education  in  Kansas  calls  for  most  careful 
consideration. 

The  Next  Legislative  Budget. 

It  is  impossible  on  the  first  of  August  of  the  current  year 
to  make  a  definite  budget  to  be  acted  upon  by  the  legislature 
in  January  of  1913,  which  budget  must  be  operative  until 
June  30, 1915,  It  is  impossible  to  say  what  the  enrollment  and 
general  condition  of  the  University  in  September  next  nay 
make  necessary  in  the  recommendations  to  the  legislature,  and 
in  November  next  even  it  will  be  difficult  to  foresee  the  needs 
of  an  institution  in  connection  with  a  budget  which  does  not 
begin  to  operate  for  eight  months  after  the  budget  is  made  dp> 
and  does  not  cease  to  operate  for  two  yean  and  ei^t  mMith^

RpGENTs'  Report.  -  25 

thereafter.  It  is  therefore  necessary  that  the  making  of  a 
definite  detailed  budget  go  over  until  the  fall  of  1912.  It  is 
clear,  however,  that  the  University  can  not  proeeed  further 
upon  the  mtlch  reduced  income  that  it  is  now  -using.  It  is 
clear,  further,  that  the  large  cut  in  appropriations  for  the 
upkeep  of  buildings  and  grounds  will  leave  the  physical  equip- 
ment of  the  institution  in  such  condition  that  a  great  enlarge- 
ment in  this  part  of  the  budget  for  the  next  two  years  will  be 
necessary.  Respectfully  submitted.
