LOYALTY PROTESTING AGAINST
MUEICGPAL TAXATION AND DIS.
FRANCHISEMFET

Some of the heaviest tax payers in
Kansas City, says the Chicago Times,
albeit "loyal men," have rebelled against
the government Of that city for what
seems TO be a somewhat remarkable rea-
son. They have sued ont an injunction
TO restrain the tax-collectors from the
collection of city taxes. They defend
their action by resorting to an argument
scarce ever heard from 'loyal lips-to
wit: that the city charter under which
the obnoxious taxes were levied is uncOn-
| StitutionaL and for the strange reason
that by it "many Of the best and oldest
citizens and largest taxpayers are dis
fanchised.' Here is what they say;
The parties who foisted this infamous
charter on the city, whereby many of the
best and Oldest of its citizens and largest
taxpayers are DISTINGUISHED, had timely
warning of the condition into which they
would plunge the city. They were told
that spirited people would not tamely
submit to being taxed, and yet denied
representation The warning was disre-
garded The city government, through
the infamous provisions of this charter
was seized by Adventures who had nc
permanent interest in the place"
1t is little inconsistent that "spirit
ed people, inhabiting loyal city on the
border of Kansas, should decline to
tamely submit to be taxed, and yet de-
MED representation" and should resist
the exactiOns of Adventures who have
no permanent interest in the place;
while they assume that spirited people
in another section of the country ought
to submit tamely to all these, and more
