every evidence from the vim displayed

to see how quickly man can become
an old settler. We scarcely miss an

of more realty and corner lots than he
ever dreamed of. The opportunity of

here in profusiOn and those who do
not take time by the forelock will
awaken and find the great Kansas do

learn, also, that it takes money to buy

THE WICHITA MEETiNG-G. a, r.

Wichita fairly spread herself las,
week taking care of the veterans who
assembled to participate in and look
on AT the state encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Several
finely decorated arches over the prin-
cipal streets, immense quantities OF
bunting, thousands of flags and every
other outward sign that could possibly
increase the warmth of the welcome,
greeted the thousands of old soldiers
and other visitors whose presence
made for Wichita a gala day. and bet
ter still, offered her what that IRE
preside town neverioses-sn oppor-
tunity TO advertise her resources. A
grand time was had, and ample ar
rangemeuts were perfected to send
such delegation 10 San Francisco
next summer that will insure the
national encampmcnt for Topeka the
year following. On Wednesday the
following officer was elected:

LYON COUNT"S ASSESSORS.

The Emporia Republican says that
the board of assessors of Lyon county
have resolved to assess all property In
that county, real or personal, at its
true or cash value, which means mar
ket value. This move is made, 10
doubt, for the purpose of giving the
county big relative showing of prop
perty, and with the expectation that
the state board of equalization will,
for state purpose or state taxes, equal
ize that county down to the uniform
ity'' provided for by the constitution.
The EAGLE now takes occasion to say
to the assessors of that county
that this movement is not a new
one, and that they and the tax
payers of that county VIII get left.
Se6gwick county tried the same
scheme once, in concert with two
other counties, and for the simple and
sole purpose of taking an initiative
which would force all the other coun-
ties in the state to adopt like basis
and which basis is the statutory as
also the constitutional one. But
Sedgwick county did not dare venture
until after consulting the state board
and getting their unofficial promise
that we shouldn't suffer in such
lardable effort, so far as
state taxes were concerned. But we
did suffer all the same. When It came
TO the pinch that board made but a
slight deduction, which so utterly dis
couraged our officials that the next
year we dropped back TO the old lying,
dishonest standard or basis, which re-
suits not only in letting one-half the
taxpayers escape scot free under the
$500 exemption, but which shows a
high rate or high per cent of taxation,
where otherwise it would offer a low
per cent, or about one-third of the
present per cent. We have just SO
much money to raj: C as state and as
municipalities every wear, AMI the true
way 10 raise il is by per cent levied
upon the full, true value of all proper
ty. We wouldn't have to pay any
more money III for taxes as cities or as
counties if every item of property was
assessed At the highest market notch,
and every dollar, and every mort gage,
and every note al lis full face value.
The result wonld be that about one
per cent would cover and include state,
county, school and other taxes where
now il seems TO be from three 10 five
per cent. Under the present rule,
which is "a fraud and swindle aud
which enables very large per cent of
