Some Pointed Questions


EDITORS News: Would you permit
ventilation of the following subjects
through your paper:
First: When bonds are voted by a
county the tchole county has the Interest
and principal to pay. Now in regard 10
taxes collected from railroad company.
Why should they not be divided, pro
rata, over the whole CO unity? 1t is
claimed that some school districts
through which RAILROAD runs, realizes
enough from railroad tax to run nine
months school each year. Now, sir,
claim that if we, fifteen miles from that
railroad pay our pro rata OF tax TO build
that road we should receive our pro rata
of tax from that road. Would like to
hear from some others on this subject.
Now, in regard to the exemption OF
$500 personal property tax TO members
| of fire and hook and ladder companies
| In cities of 1000 inhabitants and over,
that exemption has to be made up by tax
| ing others. l, living fifteen miles from
said city, fail to see the benefit derive
from those companies; yet / help pay
the tax. Is it right? Would like to hear
| from others on the subject. And now
while am on the subject of taxation, l
would like to ask if there is any justice
| in the county commissioners promiscu-
ously raising, over the county, the town
ship trustees assessment on real prop.
erty without any proof an erroneous as
sessment? 1t looks to me that they
should serve all alike unless they have
proof of error. FARMER.

The Board Of Trade.

The object of the association recently
formed in this city known as the Empo-
ria Board of Trade is 10 look after the
affairs of the city and the surrounding
country generally. There is nothing
like organization, and as some of the
best citizens of the city and county are
in the movement, there can be little
doubt of its success. There are like
associations in other places, and when
any public question Is up the organiza-
ton is called together, and, being made
up of men from all parties without dis
tinction Of creeds, they generally arrive
at just conclusions, and by their Infiu-
ence carry forward many worthy pro-
jects which otherwise would not be cared
for. With rs such an organization
made up of our leading business men
and tax payers would oft times be Of
almost inestimable worth, as there are
constantly important matters that should
be discussed and better expression of
the feelings Of the public obtained in
regard TO our city affairs, our manufac-
turing and trade interests, our railroad
facilities and things Of like nature that
are at this time agitating the minds OF
the people. The question Of pass
senger and freight transportation
is one of the most vital subjects of
the times and II behooves our people TO
see to it that we keep pace with other
parts Of the country. The great pros
perity Of our city is largely due to our
liberal railroad privileges We cannot
expect everything at once. As we in
crease our railroads 80 VIII increase ouT
population, settle up and cultivate our
lands, build up our city, and reduce our
taxes by an increase of taxable wealth.
With our present prospects in view il
il safe to predict that Emporia will
double its population and wealth within
the next i've years under the judicioui
management of our enterprising citi
zens.
It Is earnestly desired that the bust
ness men Of Emporia and Lyon county
who feel an interest in the growth and
prosperity of the city and the county
win come forward and join the. board
thereby lending their countenance Il
shed illuminating rays Of light in an OF
| Ranization Of great public benefit
