wac Fifty per 60. Penalty


The state papers are now discussing
what Is known as the fifty per cent
penalty.
Every one who has been around
when the Kansas legislature is in ses-
sion, remembers the iifty-ceut penalty
business. II comes up in the carls
part of the session. just as the mem.
hers. after frightful struggle. lasting
TWO weeks. have voted themselves
their regular old new spapers and pos
tage stamps. There are always two
or three members in each house who
talk palhetically about the poor man
who cannot pay his taxes, and Ga.
poor widow who can't pay her taxes
and the graspiag, ayarlciOus money
lender who, through the operation M
the tax penalty business, il enabled Ia
grind the faces of the poor DoH-pa, ing
taxpayer. After this Kind of talk foi
two or three days. both houses decide
by great majority that the tux law il
good enough a. it il.
If the next Legislature wishes 10 do
away with tax paving in this state.
they will adopt the suggestion abov.
alluded TO. II they wish 90 diminish
the amount OF taxes paid. they will di-
minish the penalty. Tax-paying is .
duty that men perform because tbes
are obliged TO. Very few men would
pay their taxes If they could help them
selves. The tax penalty may seem OPP
pressiye, so seems the whole tax-psy~
ing arrangement. But taxes must b.
levied, and they must collected and
experience has shown that men will
not pay taxes with money that thes
can more proiitably invest In some
other way, unless something In the
nature Of penalty Is brought 10 beat
on them. In Illinois. after AN immense
amount Of trouble with non-rrsidenis
owning large tracts Of land which thei
did not pretend 10 pay faxes on, the
tax penalty was fixed 81 one hundred
per cent. and no one now think Of di-
mini-hiug IL. In this state the pcnal',
was once changed from fifty "a twenty.
five per cent. and the result was a re-
tnrn to the former system.
The fact should Ice borne In mind
that the poor people" Of whom -
mach j. said, do not ask for change
in the law. Poor people," that H..
small land holders. usually paw tbief
taxes. II is the shark. the nOn-re.i-
dent owners Of lands which they holo
bark from settlement. ia the hope that
their raw prairie will become valHabi,
through the labor Of other people. v he
would be glad To sec the fifty per cent.
penalty abolished.

wICHITA'S MORALS.

The editor of the Chicago Lire Stock
Reporter writes the following sensible
lines touching the lbelous and nau-
seous scriblings irresponsible sensa-
tional writers. who have lately been
attacking the good name of our young
city:
Some short time since. some very
| scurilous paragraphs appeared in
some of the transient papers now
being published in the west. and which.
tor the time being. seem TO derive some
support from shippers. TO the effect
that Wichita especially is most aban-
doncd place-a sort of pandimonium,
where the oflscourings of humanity
have congregated, as harpies to feed
upon the moral and physical being of
Texas shippers. Now we happen to
know. by reputation or personal ac-
Quaintance. nearly all of the men who
are TO-DAY. as they have been from the
commencement. the head and front of
Wichita enterprise, and the guarautors
of her prosperity, and we felt the pub
lished statements referred TO were
vastly overdrawn. Our friend Jas.
Bryden. in the postscript OF his letter.
confirms our views. and clearly shows
that however difficult is and will be
the task 10 keep our new rising west
ern towns from the communicating iu-
tluenccs which flow into them from the
large and old cities. yet they are doing
their best. and have up to this point
accomplished much that Is creditablc
10 themselves. We know too much
and have lived too long in the very
midst of drovers and cattle dealers 10
believe much to their prejudice, more
than may be charged TO the credit of
other classes of the community. Wich-
tia has in force rigid sunday law. by
which business houses, saloons. ami
all places of amusement are strictly
closed" Ii will take Chicago. 81.
Louis and other cities. which Law claim
to good deal of excellence. half a cen
tury before they will attain TO this
state of perfection. and where il has
attained there is little room for the
prattle of scribblers about immortality.

The Cowley county fair will be held

The Wichita EAGLE comes to us this

so as tanned buffalo hides would be for

jeff. Davis said, in a speech at pub
lie dinner recently. '.that the south had
been cheated rather than conquered,
and that he still has hope for the lost
cause; because he has never seen a re-

in the place of our Union soldiers when
the president of the late Southern Con-
fedcracy was running for dear life with
petticoats on, he never would have
said any such thing.

is the concluding paragraph:
When railroad corporations will dc

not the cnmnity OF the people. The
people of Kansas have dealt generously

From the Great Bend Progress.

In our recent trip to the Missouri
river we saw no better crops than those
growing in Barton county. Toward
Topeka the dry weather has somewhat
injured the corn. and in Missouri along
the river not more than a half crop OF
corn can be expected. Taking it ali
together. ours is the banner county.
and as to the amount of business doing
in the towns along the line of road
Great Bend will compare favoral '
with the older towns.

Why isif that the city of Wichita

every railroad in the state is competing
for our shipments over their road, and
why does Atchison wish to interview

can to-day give us bridge over the
Missouri river, cheaper freights and
quicker time TO Chicago, the great cat

will be the way we will ship our stock.
