THEY WILL NOT LEVY.
County Authorities will Not Raise Fund
for State University.

Yesterday the county commissioners,
the county attorney and the county
clerk met at the court house and de-
ci6ed to make no levy for the state
university for the years 1896 and 1897,
for the reason that the same would be
absolutely illegal. 1t might seem to
the people of Topeka and other places
in the eastern neck of the state that
the people down here do not scruple
about doing illegal acts, but they really
do as their action yesterday plainly
demonstrates.
They are not the only ones who have
refused to make the levy and in all
proba bility they will not be. They are
taking similar action in various parts
Of the state.
Speaking about the matter to a. To-
peka reporter the attorney general
said:
THE whole trouble is this: Some of
the papers published a report that l
had held that the county commission
ers should levy a tax for the support of
the university. Other papers stated
that ] had held that the county clerk
should make the levy"
Referring again to the matter of the
so-called levy" Mr.. Dawes said: 1.-THE
county officers seeing these incorrect
reports would naturally send for their
county attorneys and ask if they had
the power to levy state tax, and of
course the county attorney. If he had a
lick of sense, would say no.
The truth Of the matter is. no such
opinion was ever written. The opinion
referred to was the one given in an
swer 10 an inquiry by Auditor Cole. 1t
held that the state board of equaliZa-
ton could not make the levy; that
county commissioners could not levy
taxes for state purposes: that the only
power to say what should be the bur-
den of taxa ton to be borne by the peo-
pie for state purposes is the legislature.
and that the legislature cannot place
the power on any other officer or in any
other body.
There was an impression that the
legislature had made no levy for the
state university and in my opinion to
State Auditor Cole / held that by sec
ton of chapter 266. Session Laws of
1885, the legislature had provided that
the people should pay tax of 100000
per annum for the fiscal years 1895 and
1897 for the support of the university.
That so far as the said laws attempted
to make a perpetual levy of that
amount the same was unconstitutional
and void but good as to the next two
years.
SIN short I held that the legislature
had made the levy and all that remain
ed to be done was for the state board
of equalization to apportion the 100000
so levied among the several counties of
the state and that it was then the duty
of the county clerk to place it upon the
tax rolls just the same as other state
taxes.
There will be no trouble. All the
trouble about it was caused by the
reports that the legislature
had failed to provide for raising the
revenue for the university, when in
truth the levy had been made"
That is Mr.. Dawes side of the story.
There are other men in this state who
know about as much law as the at
torney general. They are not lawyers
either

The warrant was sworn out by Mrs.

spring of 1894 she let Warner have ST.
500 20 loan for her and that he appro-
priated IL TO his own use.
There was a good deal Of talk about
the arrest last night because it was
stated that he had come from Colorado
TO attend his daughters wedding.

This was considered romantic be-
cause il was allowed that an occasion
OF joy had been turned 10 sorrow and
people wondered If the wedding would
be postponed on account OF the arrest.

THEY WERE ALL PLEASED.
Travelling Men Meet and have a Grand
Good Time.

The Wichita Council L. c. T. met in
their lodge rooms last night and spent
a profitable evening to all present.
After regular lodge work which last
ed only about an hour all travelling
men not members of the organization
were admitted and the meeting was
one that will long be remembered.
Commercial travellers as rule are
bright, energetic, socialble men who
know how to make themselves agreea-
bic in almost any kind of crowd and
when a company is composed entirely
of them it is understood before hand
that they will have a pleasant time of
it.
Last nights meeting was no excep-
4ion to this rule. 1t was one round of
enjoyment from beginning to end. The
music was furnished by the Wichita
Glee club and the speech by Grand
Commander Duval was happy and in
structive effort and the speeches that
followed were also good.
