Snyder VIII Coll, ct 1t. =

TOPEKA, July 31.-The attorney general
has been asked for an opinion by the super
lntendent of insurance concerning the COL
lection of reciprocal tax; which the SUI
preme court has decided was eollectable
from companies doing business in the state.
Superintendent Snider said: 1.-The tax,
which has not been collected, will amount
TO about $4,000, and must be paid or the
companies licenses forfeited. This was due
under previous administrations, but the SUI
perintendents thought we could not collect
taxes from companies of other states If Kan
sas companies did not do business in the states
N which they we're located. Each state in
which an insurance company is located IS
required to pay a certain tax upon their
premiums, and the Kansas Legislature passed
law requiring the nonresident companies
to pay the same tax on the premiums or
business done in Kansas as they did in the
state where they were chartered. But some
have held that we could not collect from
them unless our state companies did bust
ness in their states and paid taxes there.
This was not the view taken by several courts,
and this non-coIlection of the reciprocal tax
was one of the charges brought against Su-
perintendent Mcbride"
Superintendent Snider has informed the
various companies that this reciprocal tax
must be paid, and soon as he gets an opin-
ion from the attorney general will collect 1t.

A large number of local miners are SAID to
be ready to resume work, but the operators
do not care to attempt start at present Tor
fear of serious trouble. Most OF the strikers
are terribly hard up and 1t Is SAID some OF
their families are suffering privations. Most
merchants have refused further credit to the
strikers and their situation is becoming more
critical daily. The reports of colored men
coming from the south and discharged Colo
RADIO miners to work in Kansas is causing
strikers much uneasiness.
The penitentiary coal mine is said to be
running with about twice its usual force and
turning out immense quantities of coal.
This coal is being sold at high prlce to the
very companies the strikers are trying to
shut off the supply from.
In their anxiety to supply larger amounts
of coal, the penitentiary officials have taken
conyicts from the contractors in great num-
bers and put them down in the coal mines.

Hordes That Are Hungry.

DENVER, Coll, July ga meeting was
held at the court house at which officials
from the state, county, city and various char
liable organizations were present. The meet
ing was for the purpose to devise means to
care for the destitute.
"Parson'' Ushell and Dean Peck, of the
Tabernacle and Haymarket missions, stated
that over 1000 men had registered at these
places as applicants for work, but none could
be had. They estimate that there are $500
idle men in the city, many of whom are
without food, and that 1900 people are dl.
rectly affected by this idleness. Each Of
these missions has fed from 800 to 1,2OO
men daily for week past. These provisions
have been donated by private citizens: but
the demand is increasing to such an extent
that they will be unable to continue this
charitable work unless assistance is given by
the city or state. Committees were appointed
to solicit subscriptions and direct relief work;
Public soup houses will be established and
every means taken to prevent suffering.
