Assistant Attorney General Noah
Allen, in answer to an inquiry from
the prosecuting attorney of Scott
county, says: Section 6946 Of the
revised statutes of 1889 provides that
ALL property in this state, real or
personal, not expressly exempt there
from, shall be subject to taxation in
the manner prescribed by this act.
Section 6S47 defines this term personal
property and says: 1t shall include
every tangible thing which the sub
ject of ownership not forming part OF
parcel Of real property; also all tax
sale certificates, JUDGMENTS, notes,
bonds, mortgages and all evidences
of debt secured by lien on real estate,
etc. Section 1924 provides for an alb
stract Of assessment rolls to be pre-
pared by the county clerkgiying form
in which judgments are specifically
named. Hence, We must con-
clude that all judgments, whether
secured by lien upon real estate or
not, are personal property and sub
ject to taxation the same as other
personal property.

The decision Of the supreme court
in the railroad commissioner case is
to the effect that old Anthony and
Boodler Mitchell must vacate. And
for this the Republican papers are
claiming that the supreme judges de-
serve the praise of the POpulists.
Not at all. No officer is entitled to
praise for carrying out or enforcing
the true meaning of the law. In this
case it is Republican law sustained
by Republican court and to have
done otherwise would have invited
the wrath Of the people upon the
heads Of the judges.

We copy from the Labor News, of
LeavenwOrth, edited by Eva NJ. Black
man, an able article on the Greenlee
railroad bill. 1t will be noticed that
one very Objectionable provision was
that it retained Anthony and Mitch
ell on the board, who would have had
the power to fix rates and do the bid
ding of the railroads. The discrim-
nations against Kansas points are
also so glaring and outrageous that
any one can see that the bill was an
unjust, cutthroat, railroad measure.
The people are not demanding legis-
latiOn in the interest of the railroads,
but for themselves.

The Railroad Register, of Topeka,
in reviewing Judge Kicks decision in
the Ann Arbor railroad case, does net
take the peSsimistic view of the mat
ter that most labor papers do. Itsets
forth the facts that the decision is
not founded on law and cannot stand.
1t says it is a poor rule that won't
work both ways, and if the railroad
companies can compel employees to
give notice before quitting work the
companies must give due notice be-
fore making discharges. II it is con-
spiracy for the employees to band to-
gether for mutual benefit then it is
conspiracy for the companies to do
the same thing. So the decision is a
two-edged sword, and capital has no
thing to crow over in this matter.

eminent allows these gamblers to
dictate the issue and volume of our

says that congress shall have the pow
er to make and regulate the currency,

Santa Fe railroad refusing transpor-

same papers have been abusing the
railroads and their management for
years. If contending that the rail-
roads shall be regulated and operated
in the interest Of the people on an
honest, fair and equitable basis be
"abuse" then the Monitor is correct;
otherwise it knows the above assertion
to be bald-headed lie. The Popu-
list papers do not believe it is "abuse"
to demand that the railroads be regu-
lated as common carriers without dis
elimination and have never published
anything else that could be construed
as "abuse." The Monitor, evidently, is
still in possession Of a free" pass.

Charles Robinson, Democratic can
didate for governor in 1890, contrib
utes an interesting letter to the To
peka Press, in which he takes issue
with President Cleveland on the mon
ey question. After reviewing the
facts in regard to present conditions
and the presidents course, he says:
IF the government desires to hoard
few millions of gold to be used as
bullion in case of war, or for purposes
of dealing with foreign nations, it is
all very well; but if, on account of
our tariff regulations, or for other
reasons, the balance of trade shall be
temporarily against the country, let
those engaged in trade settle these
balances in their own way. 1t is no
more the concern of the federal gov
eminent than is the the raising and
selling of beef, pork and bread stuffs
by the farmers. | regret that | can
not see this matter as does the presi-
dent, for | regard him as the first cit
izen of the nation, and on all other
questions can agree with him most
fully. Presumably, the fault is mine,
yet it is possible, assOciating exclu-
sively with the creditor class, he may
have overlooked somewhat the
great interests of the debtor class.
He need have no fear of deprecated
currency if he leaves those who want
gold in their business to get it with
out his assistance. as the debts of the
country are payable in other currency
than gold and Che creditors will be
very careful that it is not deprecated
whatever the president may or may
not do. Full legal tender currency
can only be deprecated or appreciated
by change of its volume, and cOnse-
quent ratio to the aggregate amount
