Leo Said to BE Working with Spain to
Arbltraie In Regard to cuba.
MADRID March S.-The Spanish gov
eminent is making extraordinary eff
forts to prevent news getting in or out
of Spain. Thousands OF dispatches are
suppressed. Sagasta is afraid to let
the people of Spain know the truth
about the situation. He has utterly
failed to raise the money needed for war
preparations and is hiding from Span.
iards the fact that the United States
is rapidly putting its navy in fighting
condition Private advices indicate
that the pope is doing all in his power
to induce Spain to submit the whole
Cuban question to arbitration. Sa-
gasta does not dare consent, for he.
breads the military leaders, who are
really anxious to fight the United
States. The resultof the present nego-
tiations between the pope and the queen
regent will demonstrate how much in
fuence and authority the vatican has
in Spain to-day. II Sagasta persists in
resisting the advice Of the pope it is
likely that the whole power of the
church will be exerted to secure the
independence of the Cuban republic.

CHARGES DISCRIMINATION.
Kansas Labor Commissioner Says the Small
Property Owner Pays the Taxes.

Kansas Labor Commissioner Says the Small
Property Owner Pays the Taxes.
Topeka, Kan, March Lee John.
son, state labor commissioner, has
compiled report on the subject Of in
equalities Of taxation. Believing that
the more valuable city and town lots
and the best farms do not pay their
just share OF taxes, johnson selected
ten representative counties and with
such assistance as he could get took
from the books Of registers of deeds
and county treasurers the actual sell.
ing values and assessed values of 1000
pieces of property. Of this work he
says in his report:
The selling values Of all the farm property SO
investigated was y, 1889 The assessed value.
with improvements was 1855 49, The average
per cent Of assessed value was 30h per cent
Of the selling value Owners OF property paid
from l72-lO mills to SO 2-l0 mills on each VI
Of actual value Of their property. The average
was 43 40 mills The city property investi-
gated had selling value in the aggregate OF
,947, 43l. 1t was valued for assessment at
s32S, 81 or lilo per cent Of It's
real value. The taxes paid ranged
from 10 to 832-l0 mills on the
VI. Farms that sold for more than
5000 were assessed for taxation Mt lSh per
cent Of their real value Farms worth slOOO
to W. 800 were assessed OF 80 7-lO per cent Of
their real value Farms that sold for less than
$3.50 were valued at l02 2-l0 per cent Of their
real value. In city property the rule was prac-
tically the same. Lots that brought more than
49, 700 were assessed OF 80 per cent Of their real
value, Lots that sold for 5000 to s2,5O0 were
assessed OF 80 2-l0 per cent Of their real value.
Lots that sold for less than $3.50 were assessed
at 90 Ito per cent OF their actual value.
The figures lead johnson to this con.
clusion, which forms part OF his re-
port:
1t requires little thought or calculation to
prove to the ordinary mind upon whom ulti-
mately falls the burden Of unjust taxation. As
the pressure becomes greater than the rich
care to assume, prices Of products are so shifted
that either directly or indirectly the working
man Is called upon to bear the major portion.
Thus are formed two classes, an aristocracy Of
wealth-non-taxp and class Of excess
sive taxpaying wage producers

ways fully manned for handling them.
