In Favor of the Rich.

Sheriff. Heskett made report to
Treasurer Spencer Tuesday of his
collections on personal tax warrants.
The attention of the editor of the
Mail is directed to the fact that this
report is filed.
The aggregate amount turned over
to him for collection was $6S4.36. He
collected and paid into the treasury
s47.5O leaving balance Of s436,86
uncolleeted, II which $4l4.52 is due
from the Sumner National Bank.
There is something little peculiar
about these delinquent taxes due
from the defunct banks. The Fist
National owed s467.65. Receiver J.
Sam Brown refused to pay it and pro-
duced supreme court rulings to show
that the individual stockholders were
responsible for this and not the bank.
ing corporation. County Attorney
Woods submitted the matter to
Attorney General Dawes and he held
to Receiver Browns theory that the
tax was not cOllecta0le except from
the individual stock holders. These
are scattered and inSolvent and the
sheriff concluded that be would test
the matter by putting a lien on the
real estate belonging to the bank.
We understand the County Attorney
will advise the county board to take
the lien off the real estate in order to
save law suit.
There is screw loose here some
where. WOrkingmen and farmers are
compelled to pay their personal tax
nothing is exempt. Some farmers
have hauled chickens to town and sold
them in order to meet this unavoid.
able claim. And here are two
national banks who can beat the
county out Of total of sS82.l7, while
they have plenty of unincumbered
property. This is certainly clear
distinction between corporation and
an individual.
The VOICE would refer this to the
Hon. K. B. WEIGH of Topeka who
thought his party had passed no laws
except those favorable to the DOOR
rather than the rich.

THE WAY TO KILL BUGS.

&c. G. comstock in Midland Mechapic.l
Potato bugs should all be killed,
Just give them Paris green.
The lightning bug, he works at night
And lets his light be seen.
The June bug does but little harm,
Yet is a nuisance still.
The squash bug is a garden pest
And very hard to kill.
The bed bug is wiry scamp;
Just hit him with a hammer.
The humbug, he comes next in rank,
By bis seductive manner.
Yet goldbugs are much worse than all,
For them we have to swallow.
The only way to kill these bugs
Is with the silver dollar,
Is toll.
