WHAT THEY COST.

II the Troy Chtet speaks Dy the caro-
and it generally doss-it takes good
deal of ''oil" to keep the Farmers Al.
lance machine moving. In the first
place the "Organizer" receives $40
from each Alliance for organizing 1t,
which must be paid by the members.
Then each Alliance must have a REQ
ord book, blanks, etc., at q further cost
of "a. Estimating twenty-five Allan
ces to each county, the total cost then
of organization and supplies is $3.50,
which the farmers must pay. Then
each county has county Alliance
costing not less than SIS each. There
is also a lecturer" for each county
who travels about from lodge to lodge
keeping the members bright in their
grips and pass.words,-a be must be
PAID. Then each and every member
is required to pay 81 dues every year
to the State Alliance, besides the dues
that are required to keep the home
lodge running. Altogether, estimat-
ing the total membership in Kansas at
LOG, 900 the Chief reckons that the en-
tire expense of the Alliance to the
farmers of the State cannot be less
than $155,95O. This is certainly a
heavy tax, and it is hardly possible
that the members will long endure it.
A cheaper government must be de.
vised or the Alliance will soon find
most of its members on the delinquent
list.
In this particular the F. NJ. B. A..
seems to be organized on q much bet
ter plan. From published letter by
John P. Stelle, General Secretary, we
gather the following outline: To OBJ
tain charter, with the necessary rit-
uals and constitutions for new lodge
costs 81. This charter fee goes into the
general treasury for the benefit Of the
entire Association. and is only paid
out on order of the General Assembly.
The per capita dues for the support Of
the General Assembly are only one
per cent q year, and the management
has been so economical that even this
tax has been twice RENTED. The sub.
ordinate lodges fix their own dues,
with. the single restriction that they
shall not exceed twenty-five cents per
quarter. These quarterly dues are
sufficient to pay the County and State
and General Assembly dues, so that
the entire cost to each member is but
one dollar year. or course this does
not include the initiation fee which is
fifty cents, nor any assessments which
the lodge, by a majority vote, may
levy for a special purpose. The organ.
izer is allowed five dollars for esch
lodge organized, and this is paid out of
the fees charged the charter members.
Taken altogether the F. M. B. A. is
certainly model of economical man.
agement, and if it is ever consolidated
with the Alliance, the new organiza-
ton will probably have little trouble
in deciding which one Of the widely
differing financial systems to adopt.

SOMETHING ABOUT TAXES.

MORAN, KAN, April 10, ls9O-Edl.
tor REGISTER: 1t would seem that
the time had come to have a public
discussion of our system of taxation,
which the people in general feel is not
as Just as it should be Though I think
if the law was fully understood and
obeyed there would be less complaint. .
am satisfied there are thousands of
dollars of taxable property in the coun.
ty that never pay mill Of tax and a
great deal of it is owned by persons
who think their property is exempt,
and all because they do not know the
law.
AS it now is real estate must bear
the burden of the tax, and listing prop
erty at less than its real value only
makes this "bad matter worse"
All property should be listed at it's
actual value as the law provides. Then
each property owner should be ex.
empted his actual Indebtedness, and
all mortgages should be taxed in the
county, township and school district
in which the property upon which
the mortgage is located, as the
mortgage is actual owner of the prop
erty to the amount of his mortgage.
But hear some say: "You cannot do
that as the owner Of the mortgage lives
back East and has his mortga age
with him." 30 he may. But he has
left record of his mortgage with the
county recorder, and he can at any
time examine thebooks,,a and furnish the
proper officers with a list of mortgages
for the different townships and they
can be placed on the tax roll the same
as other property, and taxes can be
collected by obliging ths mortgagor
to pay on the mortgage. He would
get receipt from the county treasur-
er, said receipt to be the same as a
credit for equal amount on first pay
ment of interest or principal, due after
such receipt is given by the county
treasurer.
Or, pass law multiplying the mort.
gage if taxes are not paid thereon.
This plsn would make all PROF erty
bear its portion of tax where the prop
erty actually is, which is simple just.
ice and If put into practice would, /
think. cause the cry of "hIgh taxes"
to die q natural death.
This may not be the best plan to re-
duce taxes but it lie one, and believ-
ing the best way to get any question
properly before the public is through
the press, have dropped in my mite
as the hat passes, aud hope it will not
feel lonesome when the hat gets
around. ]. G. STRONG.
