Kansas Actual Growth.

The Kansas City Journal calls at
tention in forceible editorial to the
outrageous methods Of taxation in
Kansas. 1t says: "As a matter OF
fact Kansas is living lie in the mat
ter Of assessment and taxation. By
common consent her sworn officers
OF the law subscribe to falsehoods
every time they make an assessment
return. 1t is the declaration OF the
Kansas statutes that all property
shall be assessed at its actual cash
value, but in practice each Of the
/ 400 assessors Of the State has be-
come a law unto himself and arbl-
trarily eliminates this principle.
There are as many standards OF as
sessment as there are assessors, and
the average result is an assessment
which represents only about 20 per
cent Of the actual cash value Of the
property. To illustrate this, it may
be said that the United States census
Of 1890 shows that the true value OF
all property in Kansas was $2,79s,'
| 343, sol while the assessors returns
for the same year show only $S47,-
7l7,2l9.
"In the course OF an address be-
fore the Kansas state board OF agri-
cultuee couple Of years ago, Hon. s.
| L. Howe declared that he had often
inquired Of taxpayers il they would
take for their property 81 for every
cent Of taxes which they paid, and
that he had never found one yet who
was willing to strike the bargain. 1t
is obvious, then, that in reality the
tax was less than ! per cent though
nominally it may have been 5 or A.
To carry the illustration still further,
| it may be said that il the levy Of 1896
had been collected upon the true
value of the property as shown BY
the census the amount raised would
have $7,645,2 O9, instead Of 81 ,4S0,954
which was actually paid into the
treasury"
Kansas would do well to have
lower tax rate and higher and truel
valuation. 1t would present bettel
face to the world and that is what Il
needs badly Just now.

The men who fawned most upon

The men who fawncd most upon
Jim McNaspy when he was powerful
and presumably rich were the ones
who who have heaped abuse and in
fanny upon him while he was away
and who were first to greet him at
the train with hypocritical smirks on
their unmanly faces. Mr.. McNaspy
is doubtless at fault in some things
but if he ever showed mean or bad
heart nobody found it out. He be-
came entangled in financial matters
and saw no way out-so he disappear
ed, as he thought. That 1t cost him
effort to do it and that he suffers
keenly the disgrace and shame Of it
now none can doubt. But much OF
the abuse that has been heaped npon
him has been unwarranted, unmanly
and base. It never pays to throw
mud. Be charitable.

The Lawrence Journal calls atten-
ton to the remark Of Napoleon that
40 centuries looked down from the
tops Of the pyramids while Ed Little
puts it at so. However it adds: "But
when we come to think Of it there
may after all be no clash between
these two great men, Napoleon and
Little. Perhaps the dogs barked for
ten hundred years before the centur'
les thought Of climbing to the tops Of
pyramids to get away from them"
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1897-01-21


In making the assertion that the
dogs have been barking at the pyra'
mids Of Egypt for 30 centuries we are
free to admit that Gov. Leedy has the
advantage Of the Republicans. His
party has a man who climbed the
pyramids and he says It is so. Owing
to the fact Mark Hanna rather neg
lected Kansas financially during the
campaign the Republicans were moi
able to get an Egyptian authority to
offse, or II necessary correct the beau
tiful fairy tales Of the private secre'
tary. But we serve notice that by
1898 we propose to have man direct
from the pyramids who will be able tc
60 on the stump and tell Kansas
whether those dogs are barking or not
II they are not, and we strongly sus'
pect that It is very quiet at times
around the big stone heaps, nothing
less than personal retraction will be
accepted from Mr.. Leedy.

County Tax Collections,

Clay county has been having more
or less trouble over a proposition to
hire taxes collected. A few weeks
ago the county commissioners made
an agreement with j. A. Hanna
whereby, for a certain percentage,
Mr.. Hanna was to collect certain de-
linquent taxes. Mr.. Hanna under
the terms Of the agreement was to
have tax certificates assigned to him.
When he called on the county treas
urer to get them they were refused
on the ground that the commissioners
had no right to delegate the authority
Of collecting tax. The law had fixed
that matter. The matter was left to
committee of attorneys which de-
cided that the treasurer was right.

Denominations Growth.

One of the interesting studies Of
current church life is the relative
growth of various denominations.
The year 1896 was, according to the
statistics gathered by the New York
Independent, particularly favorable
to the Roman Catholics which church
both in numbers and growth is far in
the lead in this country. The statis-
tics give the communicate member
ship as 1921, 1909, the increase since
last year being estimated at 277,2S7,
The total mem bership Of the II differ
emit bodies of Methodists comes next
with 1868, 299 and a gain over last
year Of l68,776. The IS Baptist de-
nominations are estimated to contain
4,l5S, 1857 members, gain over last
year Of about $4,000. There are
!, 40O,3 members Of the ~ Presby.
terian bodies; the 10 Lutheran bodies
number 1,425,90 communicates, and
the one denomination Of the Disciples
Of Christ 1,OOS,67 gain Of $4,000
since 1896. This is the largest pro
portional growth recorded in any Of
the prominent churches, unless the
Salvation Army be considered among
them. This organization has grown
from $500 to 10000, according tc
the Independents figures, . gain Of
nearly one-ffth. The Protestant
Episcopal church numbers 6S6,67S
not counting the Reformed Episcopal
membership, gain Of 10000, and the
Congregationalists have grown in
numbers from 6O2,557 to 622,55

The Point Of View.

1t is very unfortunate for our peace
OF mind that we are inclined to ex-
aggerate our troubles, to remember
our misfortunes and to accept as
matters Of course not worthy Of
enumeration the good things we en-
Joy. II a mule kicks man he will
never forget it, and the newspapers
will be filled with accounts Of "a sad
accident. If the mule goes ahead
and attends to Its own business the
man considers it merely the result of
nature. When a man exercises his
prerogative and ticks his wife, he
doesn't think anything Of it. When
she sues for divorce and gets alimony
and attorneys fees, he believes this is
a cold world. When the young peo-
pie are counting and having a taste
Of heaven seven nights in a week,
they never appreciate it. When Kan
gave big Republican majorities and
everybody was making money, the
New York papers talked about Ire
land. Now that we have gone Pop
and sell corn at IA cents bushel,
they give us fits.
Within the last few days there
have been half dozen bank failures.
Everybody talked about them, Dur
ing the same time more banks started
than failed. 1t was not mentioned.
Loaning money on lot of worthless
security wrecks one bank and the pa
pers are full of the failure. Loan
ing money on good security makes
the other banks earn dividends. Not
worth paragraph.
A business house goes under and
the people mourn of "the loss to the
community" One equally as good
opens and they say "another unneces-
sary store" Man gets drunk and
the boys on the street follow him.
Man stays sober and no one pays
any attention to him. A newspaper
prints lot Of complimentary notices
Of a candidate and he never SAYS
"thank you" 1t roasts him once
and he bowls for the remainder Of his
natural life.
1t is the way Of the world but it is
the wrong way. The man or woman
who does think OF the good things,
the bright things, the pleasant things

A Tribute to Republication.

n AAAvuV w >S~f
The Republicans Of the State ougn'
to be very grateful to Governor Leedy
for the tribute to their management
Of the States affairs contained in MS
message to the legislature last week.
While he was not expected to make
any mention Of the fact he went out
Of his way to show that the State mas
advanced under the rule Of the Re-
publican party to degree that is re-
markable. The governor probably
remembers that two years ago the
Populist party adopted resolutions BY
the wholesale, endorsed by their
leading men and with the utmost
freedom quoted on the stump and In
such great reform papers as the Mon
itor. They said in these resolutions
that the State was on the "brink OF
material, moral and financial ruin
and the whole affair was going to the
demnition bow vows II something
was not done. 1t may be said right
here that they were not talking any
in those days about "standing up ior
Kansas" They did not hesitate to
call the State all the bad names they
could think Of and they sent out to
world the news that it could not pay
Its debts. Well, the people thought
that 1t was risky business to trust
the commonwealth to the Populists
in such a crisis so they put the Ne
publicans in power. What has been
the resultp Governor Leedy himself
bears witness that the State is In the
best Of condition; that 1t has the
most intelligent and most prosperous
people on the face OF the earth, and
all are making money hand over fist
Indeed we gather from the words o.
the eminent statesman and his Egypt
ologist assistant that there never wa'
q time when the State was In such
good condition as now. This Is tn
result Of the Republican rule. 1t cal
be nothing else. The Republican,
took it when the Populists said it wal
in grave trouble-we can show thell
resolutions to prove it-and here II
less than two years they have brough
it up to high position where even
Pop with his disordered liver can so'
something good in 1t. This we cal
the best tribute to Republican man
agement that could be imagined
the Pops are wise they will remem
Der these words Of Leedy, for the.
will be called on to notice them IL
the next campaign. When they So.
that the brink Of material ruin is a
hand we want to show them how tn
Republicans put the brink off into tn
future by their own efforts. 1t is s.
because the logic Of events and tn
words Of governor say so.
