an APPEALFR0M THE WEST
That the Valuation Of Farm Lands BE Cut
Down.

That the Valuation Of Farm Lands Re Cut
Down.
A committee of four prominent west
ern Kansas men were in Topeka today
on business with the state board Of equal
ization. The members of this committee
are S. l. Hale, J. G. Hayes of Rush
county, J. G. Hopper Of Ness and W. d.
Wigington of Cove county.
These gentlemen represent about %
western Kansas counties which want the
assessed valuation of the land in their
counties reduced from So to $1.25 an
acre.
They say they have put valuation of
So an acre on their land in order to raise
sufficient money to conduct the business
of their counties, and even at that figure
were compelled to collect the maximum.
While they admit these facts they say
the state should not take advantage Of
their poverty and if a board of equaliza-
ton will reduce the valuation Of their
land about eleven million acres the set
tiers of that part of the state will save
about $4,000 which Representative Hale
says would be as good as a seed wheat
investment for the state.

The Boston school committee is dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of discarding
sloping writing IN the public schools in
favor of vertical writing. The Boston
Transcript says: IF the children nat
urally learn to sit erect when using the
vertical writing, and naturally get into
very bad positions, straining the eyes
and twisting the spine, when they use
the sloping system, it goes without say
ing that the question of relative merit is
very easily decided We understand
that mbridge has discarded the slop-
ing system and advocates the use of the
upright.
ITO obtain position in many of our
public record offices, indeed we might
say IN all of them, it Is prerequisite
that vertical writing be acquired. Let
any person apply at the registry of deeds
for position as copyist and show as a
sample of handwriting the most beauti-
full sloping copper plate hand, and he OF
she will be Immediately met with the
remark: We cannot use that style of
handwriting on the books. You must
write the upright record hand Why,
then, do enot teach in our public schools
something that can be used?'
