AND unless Governor Humphrey
accedes to the demand for an extra
session--a demand that under the
decision of the Supreme Court will be
practically unanimous-the State will
lose the revenues she should have
until the next meeting of the Legisla-
ture. The prohibitory amendment has
been rendered practically null and of
10 effect, and it will be the part of
wisdom for Kansas to repeal it at
once and place in its stead true tenn
perance legislation in the form of high
license laws. They can be inforced
and the prohibitory laws can not be-
Kansas City Times.
But the same decision which renders
prohibitOry laws practically null
and of no effect" performs exactly
the same Office for license laws. If an
importer can sell lisuors in spite of
State laws that absolutely prohibit
such sale, he can also sell in spite of
State laws which only tax such sale.
And since that is so, what Is the use
of having an expensive session of the
Legislature and an expensive election,
to be left at last in as bad a fix as
when we started? There will be no
special session, and there will be no
resubmission. Prohibition will re-
main on the statute books of Kansas.
And it will prohibit, too, if not by
operation of State law then by opera
ton Of National law. Wait and see.

Some Suggestive Figures.
Editor Register:
What is it that makes the per cent
of tax so much higher in Kansas than
in the older States? is a question that
has been asked me great many times
this spring. And I will here try to
show at least one reason that 1t is so.
Our exemption laws are such that a
large share of personal property pays
no tax, thus throwing all the tax on
part of the people instead of dividing
it according to the amount of property
each has. To show this I will give q
few figures as they appear on the as
sessment roll of the present year.
There were $50 property statements
taken, of which 10 came at or under
the 500 exemption, and probably av-
eraged $50 each which would amount
to $40, 800. Add $50, 200 the amount ex-
empted to those having above 500 and
we have S4S, 200. The taxable person.
al property of Marmaton township is
S65, Ill, only S16,911 more than the
amount exempted. Now the S4S, 200
exempted and the S65, 900 taxable repre-
sents but go per cent of the personal
property in the township, and had the
assessment been taken at full value
according to law" we would have
SlSS, $50. Then as q matter of fact the
S65, Ill now on the tax roll must bear
the tax that should, think, fall OH
the Sl8S, $50. If my calculations are
correct, I think I have shown one rea-
son why We are taxed at so high q
rate. For if we have to raise a certain
of money from S65, Ill the rate
must necessarily be higher than it
would If the same money were to be
raised from SlSS, $50.
1 think this will also show that the
"of the action of the as
SCISSORS by the +. NJ. b. A. was hasty
to say the least, for all must see that
if the basis had been forty per cent. as
heretofore, the. per cent. of tax would
have been proportionately higher, as
the property we have in the county
must pay the tax regardless of the
value placed on the property by the
asse 'sors, and there is no good reason
why the tax should be single dollar
higher when property is taken at full
value, than when taken at twenty
per cent of its value. J. G. STRONG.
