TO TAX JUDGMENTS.

The Law Passed by the Last Legislature
VIII Take Eject January 10.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 16.-On January
Is, law passed by the last legislature
of Kansas, will go into efect-provided
its constitutionality is not successfully
assailed-which will require tax to
be assessed on all money judgments
rendered in the state courts. This
law is bound to cause considerable
CONSERVATION among the holders
of money judgments in Kan
.sas. One of the most uncomforta-
BILE debts on earth is deficiency
debt on real estate. This particular
kind of debt is where real estate has
been sold under mortgage or deed of
trust and fails to bring the face value
of the mortgage. Then the trustee or
mortgagee tries to collect the bal.
ance by judgment. These deficiency
judgments are the ones aimed at
by the legislature which passed
the law and it was the evident intent
to tax them out of existence. The
only way that holder of such a iudg.
ment may evade taxation under the
law is to relinquish the judgment and
If it goes to tax sale the debtor NAV
bid it in for the tax and evade his debt.

FOR EQUAL RECOGNITION.

The Negro VIII Not Be Barred from Anil
alton with American Federation OF Labor.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 17.--Negroes
shall be admitted as members of trades
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. After aa exceed
ingly warm debate upon this question
yesterday afternoon the federation re.
affirmed its former declarations giving
equal recognition to the black brother.
The fact that the convention is being
held this year in a southern city gave
added interest to the discussion. The
negro question occupied the major por-
ton of the session and was brought on
by resolution introduced by
Henry Lloyd, reafirming the dec,
larations of the federation that
all labor without regard to color
is welcome to its ranSs-denouncing
as untrue the reported statements of
Booker T. Washington, that the trades
unions were placing obstacles in the
way of the material advancement of
the negro and appealing to the records
Of the federation conventions as com
plete answers to such false assertions.

W. A. WHITE ON "KANsAs."
Fills Unique Address Before Banquet by
the Kansas City Commercial Club.

Fills Unique Address Before IA Banquet by
the Kansas City Commercial Club.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 1S.-The
Kansas City Commercial club gave Us
third annual banquet last night TO
celebrate the l02d anniversary of the
first commercial treaty ever negotiated
by America with another government.
Mr.. w. A. White, of Emporia, Kan,
responded to the toastI kansas" Be-
low is given his response entire:
When the Missourian editor called by tho
instinct OF the universal being to wander over
the fields In spring. returns from the festsi
board OF an old subscriber" or constant
reader" 1t is the editorial custom to repay the
host for his salt pork, dock greens and corr
bread by publishing an item in the paper some'
thing like this
Last Sunday, while we ana our family were
riding out In Benton township we dropped in
ON COL Calhoun Morgan and took dinner with
him. And such banquet as was spread before
usl All the dellcacles OF the season made the
table fairly groan with good things while the
colonel and his estimable wife entertained us
with true Kentucky hospitality"
The Ohioan editor In a similar situation, re-
turns THAMES for an old-fushioneR New En-
gland dinner" The Georgia writer notes that
everything was Served in regular Virginia
style" The Iowan guest boasts OF 1.-THE good
old York state cooking" But the Kansas ed
itor dreams OF crisp fried chicken garnished
with thin slices Of alfalfa-made bacon, or
mottled slices Of corn-fed, white-faced roast
beef and homemade strawberry short cake,
as he takes his pen in hand TO write:
Last Sunday the editorial family sat down
to good square Kansas meal at the home of
Grant Brown and were given n royal Kansas
welcome in the most approved Kansas style
The Kansas man lowers his flag to no other
state He accepts no imported traditions In
the bright lexicon Of Kansas there Is no good
word but Kansas The kansas brand" Is set
and sealed upon the aspects OF nature; the Kan
sas sky, the Kansas sunset, the Kansas breeze,
the Kansas flood, the Kansas drought, Kansas
has jingle-bobbed the frolicking cyclone of the
prairies, and to-day wherever it appears,
whether 1t be by Greenland's icy mountains or
way down upon the Suwannee river, the twister
is heralded to the world as the Kansas cyclone.
Kansas has labeled the grasshopper, and hence
forth and forever the grasshopper must be the

fore the Currency Committee.

Gage appeared to-day before the com
mittee on banking and currency of the
house of representatives to present n
bill embodying his views for revision
OF the currency, to explain and urge
its provisions and to meet any obiec.
ti@ns raised by the committee He
said in opening:
The objects have In mind In the series of
provisions offered by me are four In numbers.
FirSt-T0 commit the country more thor
oughly to the gold standard; remove so far as
possible doubts and fears on that point and
thus strengthen the credit OF the United States
both Mt home and abroad.
Second-ro strengthen the treasury In reln-
ton to It's demand liabilities In which are in
olvded greenbacks, treasury notes, the Incl
dental obligation TO maintain on parity,
through interchangeability with gold, so far ns
may be necessary, the present large volume OF
silver certificates and silver dollars
Third-TO do this In such n way as not to
contract the volume OF circulation in the hands
of the people
Fourth-To take an initial step toward n sys-
tenn OF bank note issues without the conditional
deposit of public bonds as security therefor
II we prosper as people the revenue Of the
government ought to be somewhat In advance
OF It's expenditures and the public debt OF the
United Suites gradually reduced and finally ex-
tnguished. Looking at the question widely,
from my best point Of knowledge and expert
ence, feel that II these could be secured the
condition OF the government In its relation to
the currency would be much safer and stronger
than now, and that through the operation OF
national bank note currency the commercial
and industrial interests of the United States
would be greatly advantaged.
After this initial statement it was
deemed advisable to read the secre-
tary's bill in detail and discuss by Sec
tions.
