SOME KANSAS HAPPENINGS.
inequality OF School Taxes.

One Of the subjects to come before
The State Teachers association In De-
cember Is the present inequality in the
school tax laws of Kansas. II Is found
that In the county Of Washington the
tax rate ranges from 1 to 80 mills on
each 81 valuation and other counties
present similar conditions. The teach.
ers claim that 1t is a very unjust law
that forces one community to pay nine
times more school taxes than another,
in the same county, and that such n
law needs to be corrected before there
can be other reforms in the school sys-
TEN or higher wages paid to those who
conduct the schools.

appeals in ST. Louis recently handed

scented from his associates in lengthy
opinion, in which he said: THE only
weapon of defense the laborer can ap-
peal to is the strike or boycott or both.
These weapons they have an undoubt-
ed right to use so long as they use
them in peaceable and orderly man.
