lie ucXG cHdpUor, page 40I, Is an
act providing for the assessment and
taxation of the property of telegraph
and telephone companies, another
class OF property amounting to many
thousand dollars that has escaped
taxation until the Peoples Party
came into power. This was q law
passed making the property OF these
corporations bear their just proper
ton OF the taxes. Why did not the
Republicans pass such a law? Be
cause these corporations were their
friends.
THE BANKING LAW.
Everywhere today there is moth
ing but good words for the banking
law passed by the last legislature
1See page 98). Drawn by q POpulist
bank Commissioner, John w. Brei-
denthal and passed by a Populist
legislature it has brought the bank
ing interests of the state under con-
troll and added to the security of
every man or woman who has dol
lar on deposit.
GRAIN INSPECTION LAW.
Every farmer in the state who has
had grain to ship has protested in
the past against the system whereby
his grain was inspected and weighed
not by disinterested parties but I'M
der the direction of the boards of
trade and grain gamblers. The farm
ers could get no relief however until
the Peoples Party legislation came
into power when by one stroke (See
page 1861 this power was taken
away from the boards of trade and
vested in the state where it belonged.
STOCK SHIPPERS LAW.
The small farmer who has but a
single load of cattle or hogs often
feels that it would be to his interest
to market his stock himself but the
railroad companies put up a bar
against the small shipper by refusing
return transportation to the shipper
of a single car of stock. This ,,injus-
tice the last legislature corrected by
requiring railroads to furnish return
transportation to all shippers thus
putting the small farmer on the same
basis with the heavy shipper. (See
page 1861
ANTITRUST LAW.
An effort was made by the last
legislature to check the inroads
the trust system is making and a law
was passed prohibiting the forma-
ton OF such institutions in the state
of Kansas and providing penalties
for violation of the same
FEES AND SALARIES LAWS.
Three laws were passed by the last
legislature directed against the sys-
tenn of fees and salaries. The first
one, page 273, reduced the fees and
salaries of county officials and COM
pei a record of all fees collected. The
second, page 215, put the Clerk of the
Supreme Court on q salary and re-
quired him to account to the State for
all fees collected. The third, page,
POI, required the Clerks of Appellate
Courts to account for the fees they
collect.
PUBLIC UTILITIES.
Among the beneficial laws passed
by the legislation was the act
authorizing cities to obtain gas
light, electric lights, electric power, |
water or heat either by purchase or
construction (see page 1877. This |
will enable cities to own their own
public utilities and ia great step

10 PROTECT LABOR ORGANIzA-
TONS.
Labor organizations have been
asking for law to prevent discrim-
nations against their members and
20 protect them against coercion
and discharge because Of such con-
nection. The last legislature needed
their demands and gave them such q
law tsee page 226 Session Laws)

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
The imprisonment of Eugene V.
Debs and his companions for months
in q Chicago Jail for contempt Of
court, and hundreds of other cases OF
less note where men have been
thrown into prison and denied q
trial by jury is fresh in the minds OF
the laboring people. Chapter 1O6.
page 205, will forever prevent such
occurrences in Kansas and in such
cases grants every man the right OF a
trial by Jury and restricts the power
OF judges and courts in such cases.
What will the laboring men do for
this party and their Friends in Novem-

BLACKLISTING.
The Legislature went further in be-
half of humanity and passed law,
(See page 322,) to prevent blacklist

and providing for the collection OF
damages in q sum three times as

publican legislature of 1887 made an
attempt to cure this evil, but like all

them law was passed providing fol

The Last /,


A legislature like an administra-
<ion should be judged by what it ac-
cOmplishes and we ask the voters of
Kansas to judge the Populist Legis-
1ature of 1897, by this rule. At the
outset we desire to say that no legis-
lature in the history of Kansas has
ever passed SO many wise and bene-
dc1al measures since the admission OF
the state into the Union and we cite
the statute book of 1897 in proof.
Two elements enter into legisla-
tion, especially in Kansas-man and
money. For years money, as rep
resented by great corporations, has
received the attention of our law
makers to the exclusion of the man,
and the interest of humanity. The
legislature of 1897 reversed the order
and gave some attention to the in
terest of the great common people,
who have by their labor, economy
and enterprise made Kansas a great
commonwealth. The Republican
party from the time of it's. first sue
ces has drifted more and more
toward the power of money until. at
the present time the dollar .domin-
ates the party and dictates it's every
act. Corporations control it's legis-
latiOn, state and national. The
Peoples Party, on the other hand, is
made up OF individuals who believe
that the people are entitled to as
great consideration, at least, as the
corporations.
Upon these lines the battle of 1895
was fought and won, and the legis-
lature OF 1897, came into power
through that victory, in which we
were ably assisted by our allies, the
Democrats and Silver Republicans.
whose national conventions enunci
ated advanced views on the financial
question In line with those held by
all refOrmers who believe the people
are entitled to as much consideration
as is granted the corporations.
Actuated by these motives the PeO-
pies Party. members of the legislac
ture Of 1897, entered upon their du-
ties, realizing the impossibility of
curing all the evils in the short space
of fifty days that thirty years of vi
ciOus legislation and neglect had
bred. The results show an honest
effort, with great good accomplished
and with the start made, opens the
way for the continuation of thewOrk
in the interest of the producers and
laborers, by further legislation.
THE AUTHORIZATIONS LAW.
The interest of labor were carefully
guarded. One of the impOrtantl laws
In it's interest was that known as
the Anti-Pinkerton law. (See page
$50, Session Laws. The Peoples
party believes that the officers of the
state can preserve the peace and up
hold the dignity of law without in

were among the pets of the Republi-
can party, and 1t remained for the
Peoples Party to pass q law taxing

The next chapter pa, page 456, re-
lates to taxing mineral reserves. It
has frequently occurred when rich
corporations or individuals holding
large tracts of land, when valuable
minerals underlaid the land they re-
served the mineral as well as the
right to enter upon the land and
prospect and mine for the same.
This valuable class OF property had
never paid any taxes and it remained
for the Peoples Party to pass a law
placing this class of property ON the
tax roll. Why did not the Republi-
cans pass law of this character?
Because the parties holding the min
eral reserves, the rich corporations,
were their friends. In the last legis-
lature the Republican minority
adopted every known parliamentary
tactic tot defeat the passage of this
law.

STUDY YOUR cows
They Differ In Their Req Qu1rements II
the Way of Food Just N HUI
man Beings Do.

Maj. Henry E. Alvord, chief of the
dairy division, United States depart
ment of agriculture, says in the Dairy
Herd that COWS differ in their tastes
and in their requirements in the way
of food just as human beings do, al
though perhaps not to the same ex-
tent. To feed all the COWS in the herd
alike, day after day and month after
month, as is so often done, is an alb
surd and wasteful practice. Some are
sure not to get enough for the great
est profit, and others are likely to
get more than they viii use to ad-
vantage. This is to quantity only;
but differences in kind of feed may be
equally desirable. In thorough study
and comprehension Of the question OF
feeding lies the greatest opportuni-
ties for the exercise of real economy
In the management of the dairy herd
Each animal ought to be watched and
its habits, appetite and condition
known at all times. If it leaves its
feed in the trough, or through lack OF
taste for it restlessly throws it about
at once shorten the supply of that
particular feed and try to find as a sub
stitute something that the COW will
relish. It's distaste for that food il
has long been accustomed to is an evi-
dence that the system is demanding
some change of diet rather than that
the cow has lost its appetite to hurt
full extent. Give her something she
will like and the appetite will be found
all right.

GROWING FINE VEAL
An IndastFy Which Pays Well Whe1-
ever the Price Of Butter Is
Abn0Pnally Low.

A writer in the National Stockman
takes up the subject of veal production
and argues that it is more profitable
to grow veal during the period of low!
priced butter than to make the milk
into butter. We know of several dairy
men already who follow this practice
with success. They buy all the calves
that are brought to them by the milk
producers of the vicinity and as fast
as fattened their places are taken by
other calves btained in the same way.
The writer referred to says: Tho
trade in fine veal, which is en1arging,
could be increased much beyond its
present limits by supplying high
grade article for the market. lam not
aware that the distinction is made in
American markets regarding the quail
ity of veal which is made in some Eu-
ropean countries, notably in Hol-
land. But no doubt the time will come
when this feature of the dairy indus
try will receive the attention from US
which is now Icing given to it else
where. It is considered by experts
that those veals are finest which not
only carry a considerable quantity of
fat, but which n $50 show no indications
of having recei. ed any other food than
whole milk. The whites of the eyes,
the eyelids. and the inside of the lips,
if the animal has had an exclusive milk
diet. should be pure white. Any tinge
of coloring in these parts indicates
the effect of solid foods. Whether it
will pay to convert milk into cheap
butter instead If putting it into prime
veal will depend entirely, of course.
upon the price of the two products
and the relation one bears to the
other. 1t is stated by authorities that
eight pounds of milk will produce one
pound of gain in calf. This means
that at present prices 5A cents for
veal hundred pounds of milk would
bring - cents if put into veal. With
butter at 17H cents, netting the pro-
ducer about 141a cents, a hundred
pounds of milk made into butter
would be worth about 65 cents. This
difference in profits points strongly
in favor of veal. especially as the price
of butter will, in all probability, de-
| cline markedly N the next six or eight
weeks, while the price of veal will
probably not go lower. Hence it ap-
pears that large quantities of milk
which will be made into poor, cheap
butter this summer, might much bet
! ter be turned into veal. Not only would
! the raising Of prime veal benefit the
| producer in the way we have shown
but it would also relieve the butter
market of just SO much butter. with
its tendency to depress an already
! overcrowded market"

uring in on inside of silo one foot from
each corner, and then striking a 30
inch circle on the crosspiece in the
corner, I could cell around the silo
by using three-inch matched lumber.
The corner proved to be a success,
and many who look at it say the ques-
ton so often asked is now answered.
The czosspiece should be sawed out Of
lumber 2x1o inches. use 2xSx16 feet

II Morning MIX Bests

There is a general belief that the
entire rest which the COW gets at
night makes the morning milk richer
than that which she gives at night
after more or 1essexercise through the
day But if the exercise in daytime
takes anything from the milk, it is
more likely to use up the albumen oids
or Strengthening elements, and thus
leave the milk richer. Yet the morn
ing's milk may be richer in butter fats
for an entirely different reason. There
10 reason to believe that all the time
that milk is forming in the udder it is
losing some of its butter fats which
are being absorbed by the COW. The
strippings or milk last formed is for
this reason richer than that first
taken. In summer time there is a
shorter time be tween milking at morn
Ing. than at night, and consequently
there is a greater proportion OF strip
pings in the smaller mess of milk.
