ing Wichita and Council Grove into cities OF
the second class did not originate in any fight
but was brought to carry out a desire for the
reduction Of the burden of taxes that at pros
ent exists. All right, my friend. The act
does not affect Wichits one way or the other,
as she Was organized not only by the act al
luded to, but in full compliance with the gen.
eral law. BY the way, we see that Fort Scott,
an older and richer aud more populous city
than Wichita. is discussing the feasibility Of
returning to township organization. The
towns mentioned have our sympathy, but
Wichita, as soon as we get our water and gas
works aud our street railway in operat on,
proposes 10 become city of the first class.
Towns may come and cities may go but
