The following resolutions were endoFs-
ed at a meeting Of Meade county FARM
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union Of
Kansas, held in Meade, Kansas, Feb. %,

rate OF taxation equal 70 what Woulu Do
the mean rate imposed upon a property
possessed Of the united value Of the pro-
pertles included in the trust or monopoly.
AMENDMENT NECESSARY TO THE coNsTi-
TUITION.
That Section l. Article II, Of the con-
stltution Of the State Of Kansas be amend
cd by striking out the words "and equal
after the word uniform In the second line.
ADVANTAGES.
The advantages TO be derived from the
passage Of such q bill as this, are;
1. II would lead to the dissolution OF
every trust, pool or other monopoly In
the state.
2. II would prevent the concentration
Of more capital in any enterprise than
was necessary TO the completeness Of that
enterprise.
3. IL would All our state with a system
OF adequate sized and complete, but not
overlarge, industries that operate In com
petition with one another
A. IL would prevent the combination
and pooling Of different railroad lines for
the purpose Of exacting of Of the general
public
D. II would prevent wealthy coal opera
tors and other shippers from entering
into combinations with railroad compa-
nies for the purpose Of crushing weaker
rivals and obtaining monopoly
O. II would prevent any one from get
ting possession Of and holding more land
than he could proatably use.
7. II would prevent the beef combine
from getting possession Of the local mar
kets against the peoples desire.
8. II would prevent trust organizations
from flooding the markets with tempora
rily low priced goods for the purpose Of
running home producers and getting sole
control.
o. IL would exempt the hearth aud
home and the immediate comforts and
enjoyments of the person and satisfy It's
demands from the proper subject Of tax
alton, viz: money-making property alone.
TO- II would make full use Of the cor
rective functions Of taxation by concen-
tratlng it entirely upon capital, the object
needing to be regulated.
H. It is a most thorough and wide
reaching corrective; 1t would impose no
new duty upon the state as 1t is but
method Of performing duty already ex-
listing and imperative, viz: that Of assess
ing and collecting the taxes; 1t does not
come in conflict with any other Of the
proposed reforms Of the alliance, butts In
harmony with them; II would not lack for
enforcement and become a dead letter be-
cause the taxes must always be collected;
It would work no injury to interests Of
necessity large, for while this plan Of
taxation would be bar 10 combinations
II would not be bar TO the fixing of
prices in common by the owners Of large
concerns to make up for the extra taxation.
VIII the alliances take interest enough
In this important measure to report
through their secretaries at the earliest
opportunity in order to give ample time,
IL the reports prove favorable, to take
further steps for the success Of the
measure?
II will be necessary to add some clauses
empowering the secretary of the state or
some other state officer to ferret out all
truht instItntlons and truat copneotions

paid in and the other half, including q just
share of the gains, represents partial pay
ments on this newly created property wealth.
AT the end of 142 months, or less, 1t was
found that what the borrower had formerly
paid in rent has by this system earned him
a home entirely free from debt. At the end
of 142 months 81, 900 persons are the owners
of S90, 900, 900 worth of real estate that they
have accumulated month by month through
the aid of the building associations. In
stead, therefore. of the mortgages being
debts, they are assets in prospect and real
assets to the extent of the amount actually
saved and paid in on account.
Instead of a recorded debt the building
society mortgage is merely a resolution
formed by the tenant to stop paying rent,
and gradually save enough in this way to
carry out the determination. From observa-
tions made by the writer. the opinion is
formed that of the possible 800, 600, 900 of
recorded mortgages fully S27, 600, 600 has
been saved toward their full and final
ownership, or, in other words, that all build
Ing society mortgages now on record could
be satisfied by the payment of 20 per cent of
their face value.
THE RENT PAYER IN DEBT.
Building society mortgages exist not over
IL years, except in special cases, and the
present assets are accumulations OF IL years
only. Some members have only been paying
in Tor one month, others two, three and four
months, and still others ior one, two, three
and so on up to IL or IL years. New socie-
ties are being constantly formed and old
ones maturing as instanced above, and
others on the permanent plan are maturing
old series every year and opening new
issues.
Every man who intends paying rent for
the next half century is at this very moment
in debt for the full amount he will pay
during the next 25 years, and when rent
payer moves into home obtained through
the building society he deserts the ranks of
the debtor class and allows a mortgage to be
recorded as evidence OF his new departure.

They reach up to her shoulderI
Her arm no eve may scan.
IT'S shocking. I have told her
Such cruelty to man.
Her hair-how shall term 1t, but summer sun
beams curled;
I know 'twould make q hermit gay, and win
him to the world.
Her lips are pouting scarlet
Her eyes a witching hue;
I'd style each one a starlet,
If stars were only blue.
'Tis far beyond my praises, the hat she chose to
rim
Her winsome face, with daisies bright all nod
ding round the brim;
And when her eyes. like beryls,
Beneath them coruscate,
Each glance is fraught with perils,
AS have found too late.
The dowagers in glasses inspect her frolic skirt,
And often. as she passes by, l hear them whis-
per, '.flirt.'
But let them take all that on,
What care hath gay Bopeepf
With saucy hose and hat on
She leads the beaux like sheep.
