Jim secured the cat to drive the rats

cat and the Cat began to betrsy an aflec'

Financial Condition of Kansas

Topeka capital.
The tabulated statement in our local
columns to-day of the financial condi-
tion of the State presents a picture OF
wealth and prosperity which few
states in the union, if any, can parall-
ell. The bonded Indebtedness of the
State is but SS01 900; yet we possess
fifteen public buildings which have
cost, all now paid for, S6,000,000. Our
State capitol, building now nearly
completed, and worthy of any of the
States of the union, has been paid for
as it progressed, and when finished
will be the only State house on the
continent for which at the time of its
completion its State was not in debt.
The county Indebtedness of the
State is S15, 23l ,69S; the township in
debtedness, $3.50, ,129; the school dis
trict Indebtedness; 81, ,903, Az; and the
city Indebtedness, $500, ,762, a grand
total Including the State bonds of S37,
9l7, ,067. The actual value of the tax
able property is S579, 9,701 $40, or more
than fifteen times the total indebted
ness. The total interest charges on
total Indebtedness, state, county,
school district and city, is s., III, ,798,
towards which the railroads pay in
taxes to the State 81 1854, 131, or five
siXths. The average amount of prop
erty per capita is S4O6 and the average
tax per capita IS.
A notable fact is that at the present
rate of taxes paid into the State treas
ury by the railroads the total princi-
pal and interest of all bonds issued to
aid railroads will be paid off in about
twelve years.
At the rate at which the farm mort
gage Indebtedness is being paid, esti-
mated on reliable reports at 81 900 900
a month, the farmers will be totally
free from debt in four or five years.
The condition is one to be regarded
only with satisfaction and pride. 1t
is doubtful whether such progress az
Kansas has made in the last twenty
years has ever before been accomp-
lished with so little of accumulated
