NEW TELEPHONE LINE.
Wichita to Be Connected With Prin-
cipal Points in Southwest Kansas.

Wichita, Aug. "A force of fifteen
men, under Foreman Dixon, has com
telephone line from Wichita to yelling
ton. From Wellington the line will
run to Conway Springs, Milan and Ar
gonia, Harper and Anthony. Wichita
has just been connected with Goddard,
Cheney and Kingman west and the line
is now in service.
Increase of wholesale business increas-
es the need for better telephone and tel
egraphic facilities and improvements of
telegraph and telephone helps the
movement of Wichita to successful SUI
periority as a wholesale point. In
phone line to Kingman are worth an
increase of $4,000 a year in business.
The newline to Wellington, Conway, Ar
gonia and Anthony is worth three
times as great an increase, because of
the better facilities in ordering.

HONEST TAXATION.


A great hue and cry was raised
in the State a month ago and the
decision of Judge Clark in the
railroad assessment case but since
the people have had time to think
the question over the clamOr has
subsidized. To he candid we do rot
ZEE what else Judge Clark could
have done than enjoin the board
of tQualizers. Our State COnstitu
tioa plainly says.that all property
shall be assessed alike. 1t is an
unwritten law in the State that
MI property shall not be assessed
at its iulE value, nor ,above about
s. per cent. of It's value. If this
applies to farm, to a house and
lot, or to one mans property, why
not TO all? Il we would prosper in
Tennessee. IT we would invite im-
migration and capital, we must
deal Justly and honestly with oil.
Tax all alike and not single out
any one class of property and tax
it to death.
Let everyone be taxed fairly.
