TAXING DoGs.-The State of Ohio
realized last year by the tax on dogs
the handsome sum of s236,75S. 1t
is very doubtful if Ohio harbors so
many worthless ours as Louisiana,
which gets no revenue at all from
the dogs, which are mostly owner
less when feeding time comes) and
kept at the public expense. On the
other hand, however, Ohio is one of
the greatest sheep-raising States on
the continent, Licking county hav
ing 2O6.544 head, worth s461, 1923,
and Paulding county, the smallest
producer Of wool and mutton, hav,

grants arrived at the Union Depot
in this city en- route to Kansas, there
to seek homes along the lines of the
different railways. Last season they
came by families, by sections and by
hundreds, but this year it is by
thousands that they empty them
selves from the cars at at the depot
and at once take seats in the west

The DISHONEST DEBTS SHOULD
BE REPUDIATED.-The State in
debtedness must be inquired into.
Bonds issued during the admins
tration Of Warmoth and Kellogg
should be rigidly investigated, and
every bond issued, which was not
given for the honest and legitimate
purposes Of government and bene-
ut OF the people, should be repudi.
sted. The cry that such bonds have
gone iato the hands OF honest third
parties wont do. The outside world
was notified BY the people of Loui-
siana that . band Of robbers had
taken possession Of her government,
and 20 soon as they got into power
they would Investigate and refuse
to pay Ill dishonest obligations
The interest on all honest bonds
should BE- fixed at 1 per cent instead
of 7.-Amite Independent.
Our sentiments, exactly.

WHY KANSAS ATTRACTS IMMI-

WHY KANSAS ATTRACTS IMMI-
GRANTs.-In view of the extraor-
binary immigration to Kansas this
spring it is interesting to know that
the wheat crop of the State last
year amounted to 32,315,35S bush
els, valued at the farms at S1S,441,
OCT, an increase in bushels over
1877 of 1898, 953, and in value of
$4,000, 93S, aud the largest crop ever
grown by any American State. The
average yield per acre was 1924
bushels, but the Kansas City Times
states that Mr.. j. s. Hollenger, re-
siding near Abilene, Dickinson Co.,
163 miles west of Kansas City, har-
vested last year from his farm of
500 acres 900 bushels of wheat,
or an average of "a bushels to the
acre. If it be true that the failure
ola wheat crop is unknown in Kan.
sas history it is no wonder that the
Eastern farmers regard it as a sort
of Western paradise.
