TOEA, KANSAS PARE FIVE I imOm'AFa-OD SCECLCL ONCE AGAIN AT StATE PRIRIARY THE REAL ARTICLE! By Cowan MOM POP FINANCIAL 1 VISITED CAPITAL AS WORLD FLYERS 1 SHULTZ SHOOTS V- Reform Method Costing "Lots Without Devel-. oping Leaders (Special Political Letter ta the Register by A. L. Shultz) Topeka, July 8 In a quite interesting manner Will J. French, state auditor, has drawn public attention to the price of reform.
Until Kansas got herself in a position where she could Join et first class angel band, it didnt cost very much to keep things moving. To be sure it seemer like a lot of money in those days. Yet if Kansas right now could go back to the grand old times, things would be perfectly hotsy-tot-sy. Once upon a time about a quarter of a century ago Kansas felt she needed some invigorating reform. She had been going along in the custom of her fathers for a very long time and folks who didnt get to be postmaster and county treasurer began to kick up a howl.
Every time they got licked for something, they rushed down to the newspaper office and gave out a statement to the effect that ths will of the people- had again been defeated. Next time they got a licking in the county convention, there was a lot of talk to the effect that the Lords will had not been property respected. Of course the person who didnt win always lined himself up on the side of virtue and the Lords great work and the winners always were listed on the side of immorality and corruption. So from somewhere it must have been up in Wisconsin since that was where Kansas got most of her vagaries there came the idea that if you turned a student of government loose in the booth of that adjoining a Mexican section hand they would both make a perfect guess as to just the leader who was needed by the great common peepul. Well with every county and district and state convention the idea got more general circulation and pretty soon all the leather lunged apostles of true reform who hadnt won anything in recenet years anyway, got to talking for the state wide primary.
It was claimed with some degree of truth that the township trustee and the deputy sheriff and the night watchman were on delegations to a good many conventions. Of course no one mentioned that they did most of the work for their party in the community in which they lived. But a lot of people who never saw the inside of a precinct caucus got the notion that they had been Cheated and that things would be different if everyone could vote on everyone who ran for office. This idea had a big appeal for newspapers, too. It was urged that a publisher could get his advertising for nothing when he ran for office.
On the other hand everyone who wasnt a publisher and ran for office had to pay top rates for space. Thus the newspapers and not the boys who wore out their shoes working for the party would get all the advantages and everywhere a newspaper man would be able to get a job for the mere asking. So the state wide primary system came into effect In Kansas as a sure shot cure all for all the ills of the day and a double edge, hangmans knot cinch that the cost of government was to go down like a shot. New York, July 10. (AP) The New York stock market pushed up strongly In the later trading today, after the foreign markets had closed with a rather heavy tone.
The decision of the head of the reichsbank to return to Germany from Paris sooner than he had planned was in the main interpreted optimistically in Wall Street, where it has generally been felt that German credit requirements would be provided for. The market closed with gains of fractions to 4 points predominating. Stocks eased during the morning, along with the foreign markets, but turned upward after midday. Considerable short covering in U. S.
Steei, after publication of its unfilled tonnage cancelled a 1 point loss and sent it up to register a gain of 2. half of which was lost in last minute profit taking. Bethlehem, however, barely cancelled an early loss of 2. Rails, chemicals, merchandising issues and oils were notably firm. Eastman closed about 3 points higher, after selling up 5.

YmEN TWbv oiaKiE A LETTER FQOA AUNT HANNAH party oil cans could lean up against the court house or postoffice and tell you just who he worked, for in the bloody battle for nomination for county clerk back in 1884. Now that recent years have revealed a long string of figures to show that the cost of government has jumped up 400 to 60 per cent since everyone had an equal chance to shut their eyes and vote as they blamed please. Mr. French has assembled some records. He has figured that all the human woes cant be traced directly to.
the fact that the federal farm board wont do exactly what some leather lunged congressman or self advertising governor advises. Mr. French shows that in the primaries of 1930 an off year it cost 63 cents for every ballot cast Republican, Democrat and Socialist. The aggregate cost of the primaries was somewhere in the neighborhood of $225,000 not counting several hundred thousand dollars in campaign expenses which didn't affect taxes in any direct manner. Of course the primary gave everyone an opportunity to register their choice directly.
Otherwise business of getting together some party candidates would have been attended to by delegates who generally possessed more than average state wide acquaintance and judgement as to qualifications of aspirants for public place. So Mr. French who wants tiie dear pee-pul to have a good time, dries any tears following his own personal conclusions. But Mr. French has a fine stack of figures showing a constant upward trend of public expense in every branch of state government since the primary came to purify the nation.
In the old days when taxes were too high or when a public official did a dizzy thing--such as letting road contracts to non-resident bidders with non-resident road gangs the voter could punish the political party. Now everyone who runs for amything writes his own platform and a political party is merely a free conveyance in the race for office. In his inability to fix responsibility for ills, John Taxpayer occasionally goes on a spree with loose lipped propagandists and taxes keep going up and up. But the Will French report has a big lesson. After 23 years the primary has failed to develop an outstanding leader in either party, has brought irresponsible state and comunity government and increased public expense more than under any system ever tried in this country.
This Haldeman-Julius boy is talking about running for office, but doesnt take his eyes off the cash register. Recently he film flammed news services and Kansas dallies for a lot of free space. Now he has a circular letter in the mails calling attention to his prominence and using the situation to sell magazine subscriptions. Plenty smart boy-r-Haldeman-Julius. Hooked again the Kansas press.
