I>ear Sir: In last week’s issue of the Standard ! Gauge, Gibson comes out with a sug gestive article which purports to be a citation to the business of the Farmers' Elevator at this place, but he linally confessed to knowing noth ing about the business of the corn pant and could tind no one who did and so could do nothing but attempt j to slander me by distorting the facts of my relation to the company and i throwing a bouquet or two at him self by handing the farmer members ' a >lice of corn bread and treacle. Now. Gibson asserts that he was "ably assisted by a member of the board of directors'* in the compila-; tion of his article and I therefore feel free to make a statement of the facts a> 1 know them to exist, if you will kindly grant me space in your . valuable paper to do so and thanking you in advance I am pleased to sub j scribe to the following. Io begin with, the elevator was leased, and that could not be done without the consent of a majority of all members of the board of directors for the following reason—the finan cial condition of the company was such that it can not now. nor has it been able for some time to do busi ness as a farmers elevator except in name only, since the funds were fur-' nished by collateral of individuals, and we have the credentials to prove this statement. As to what brought about this dis ordered condition of finances there are several reasons among which are. lack of support by the farmers, many of whom were stockholders: purchas ing grain on too small margins: losses in shipment and lack of funds with which to begin buying grain. The farmers commenced business with an indebtednessof over *5oo and have spent that much more since in equipment. I nder the by-laws thev could borrow only *3500. which would leave a working balance of $2500. with interest it “ per cent on $3500 to be met annually. The corporation bought grain on a margin, supposedly of two cents per bushel. Last year 05.000 bushels of grain was bought, the gain at two cents per bushel would be $1300: the running expense lor the same period was *1400. During this same year one item of loss on two can, of wheat shipped was $000. which has not yet been regained. Every fellow at destination points seems to think farmers elevators should lie legitimate plunder and al ways ‘ short weight-’ shipments, the shrinkage on one car load of wheat last winter being loo bushels. It does not require a great mathema tician to figure the outcome under those conditions. For the vear ending July 31st, 1910. practically all grain wassold at a loss, farmers generally, stockholders and others refusing to sell to the associa tion under any other conditions. As to the management, this consists of a board of seven directors, who en gaged a manager to conduct the actual business of running the eleva-: tor and 1 will heartily say 1 feel sure ) that each and every one of these' seven men is honest and honorable.; As to my individual work and re sponsibility in the matter will say. j for the past four years I have been j secretary of the board, which really j under the by-laws is an appointive I rather than an elective ottiee. was! never a member of the board and had no vote except at the annual meeting as a stockholder, and have not in those four years received any com- j peitsation in any form for my labor,j have never been business manager, have done more than any other man in the association to make it a sue- j cess, have always signed notes with any and all when it was necessarv to get in with individual collateral, and at one time during the past winter borrowed «34»W on my own individual note at a time when thev refused to cash any further checks, and further, no one has even suggested to me that 1 assist in turning the elevtaor over to the grain trust. A careful investigation of all the records will disclose the fact that there are no traitors in the camp, no dishonest or dirty work of any kind done, but that the elevator was leased because the financial condition was such that the doors must be closed. As to the report made bv me at the annual meeting. 1 can justly sav the ' only report anyone can make is'from the report of the business manager.! 1 made the report for February.! Is***. from the manager's record after spending ten days of hard work. I watched this carefully in the clean up in the nest July'and found it ■ <• >irect. By reason of having a good 1 ly supply of wheat on hand which ; made a sharp advance in price, we , were enabled to balance debits and j credits for the year 190y. When it came to making the Feb t ruary. Uilu, report 1 declined to make it and the board appointed a com mittee to do the work. The annual i repon was the result of their work. I notified every stockholder by card of the time and place of the annual meeting, and out of a possible 100 only L*u were present. To those 1 nresented the need of financial and business support, but no action was taken. 1 also ottered to cancel my eleven shares of stock to the associa tion if they would let me out entirely. This was declined and I was re-elect ed to the onerous position of secre tary. Our records are open for investiga tion at any time and inquiry at the hank will disclose the facts as I have stated them, and any attempt to slander me or any person connected with the management must needs fiil of its volition. Yours for a square deal. R. 1). Hkndrickson. If you want a dray in a hurrv and get quick work, see Stewart Conger.

Smith, County Judn (Last pub. Au*. 25> A STATEMENT EROM CONGRESSMAN KINKAID To My Esteemed Constituents: Upon the advice of many voters, I have become a candidate for a re nomination for Congress by the pri mary election to be held August 16. During the present Congress l have faithfully supported the policies pur sued and legislation recommended by Roosevelt, when President, adopted and promoted tty President Taft, as evidenced by the excellent measures enacted at the recent session. In re vising the tariff. I strived to have lumber and barbed wire placed upon the free list, and voted on separate schedules for revision downward gen erally. but after the bill had been in the Senate and in conterence. it had to be voted upon as an entirety, with the alternative to pass it or de feat it and leave In operation the old law. A majority, including dem ocrats with republicans, prevented a greater reduction of the rates. I fa vor the increase of the authority of the tariff board recently authorized and that in the future revisions be made of single schedules, when condi tions warrant it. rather than that all schedules be revised at the same time, thus preventing "log roiling" by protected Interests. I favor the adop tion of the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States permitting the taxing of large in comes; also, the election of Senators by direct vote. As about three-fifths of the an nouncements of my competitor con sists of an attack upon my record. I shall give it such brief notice as the nature hereof will permit. The ref erence incidenta'.ly occurring last win ter in the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga tion to my purchase of a quarter-sev tion of coal land in Alaska, carried with It the information, derived from official source, that the transaction M. P. Kinkaid. Congressman 6th Dlst. was legitimate and straightforward; but In disregard of this, to advance his own candidacy, my competitor questions its regularity. It was be cause only of the fact that Mr. Bal linger, as my attorney, had passed on the title to the property, before he was Secretary of the Interior, when in the practice of law at Seattle, that the transaction was mentioned at all. No government Official has pretended that I did what was wrong or im proper. Glavis. special agent and at torney for the government in coal land matters, in substance, swore there was nothing contained In the transaction on the part of either Ballinger or myself that was wrong Braudels, attorney for Pin chot. said : "We have looked into the case carefully. • • • There is nothing wrong or improper. * • • Mr. Kinkaid has nothing to conceal in this matter as far as I know.” My purchase was made of the entryman who had an equitable title which the law permits to be assigned or deeded, for which I paid $2.S00.00. and to se cure a patent, must yet pay the gov ernment price of 110.00 per acre. 1 have not made a coal land entry. If the entry of my grantor was made in good faith, and the law in other re spects has been complied with, a pat ent will be granted; otherwise not. Certainly, the government Is secure, because its officials have the exclu sive determination of these questions. In refutation of the implied accusa tion by my competitor, that I have evaded voting, “insurged at home and stood pat in Washington," I cite a portion of a testimonial written by Howard R. Hinshaw. Secretary to Congressman Hinshaw. as follows: •Hon. M. P. Kinkaid Mv Dear Sir:—Complying with your re luest.
