ers who will tell him of these things.
Ii MIR. Stanley will pick his way
! carefully when he goes down he may
learn something about taxation that
Will Interest him. He has discovered,
II he be credit to his profession, that
the lawyer and other well-to-do O classes
do not pay taxes on anywheres near
IOO per centum of the real value of
their property. 1t would be foolish to
expect that of them. They know bet
ter. But down among the people
things are different. The man who
owns a small lot or farm pays up to
the limit when it comes to taxes. He
Is not versed in the ways of trickery,
and he usually does what he thinks is
right. In consequence he pays often
more than double in proportion to the
assessment levied on the man who is
onto the ropes. If Mr.. Stanley's sta
tlon in life were further down among
the people he would perhaps realize
this more forcibly.
There are opportunities enough for
Mr.. Stanley to learn some real infor-
nation about what the common peo-
pie want if he will take the trouble to
follow them. Let him go down among
the railroad employees, let him do
business with the stock yards, and
think over what the eastern insurance
companies receive from the people of
the State above what they invest in
Kansas. There are several things in
Kansas which interest the common
people, concerning which Mr.. Stanley
is evidently in ignorance, else he
would not have climbed on the Repub-
lican platform.
MIR. Stanley is respectable, he is
sincere. He really means to go down
among the people to learn their views.
Perhaps he really has some idea of be-
ing elected.
Now, whom does Mr.. Stanley leave
! In order to sojOurn a while among the
people? Classify the Interests which
are the sort to contribute to Republi-
can success and you have a group
anxiously awaiting Mr.. Stanley's re-
turn. The stock yards company?
Ask the stockmen why. The insur.
| ance companies? Webb McNall and
other common people have reasons.
Inc mine operators, the railroads, all
the commercialized interests-where
would the Standard Oil trust throw it's
Influence if directly engaged in Kan
sas political fight? This campaign in
hansas IS a conflict between the peo-
pie and commercialisnl, and freedom
Will win again. Wh4n Mr.. Stanley
goes down among the people he leaves
the money power behind. He does not
need to 10 this. for if he only eyercis-
e5 "a little patience he will hear decis-
lvely enough from the people on cleo

The school fund commissi oners have
bought $47, 900 more of State bonds,
which were held by private parties and
became due July l. By a year from
that date the last of the States bonds
will be out of the hands OF private
parties and will be owned by the state

es are not only satisfactory, but they

DODGING THE WAR TAXES.

Public service corporations are no.
torious tax dodgers, and when con-
gress said that upon the rich corpora
tlons must fall some of the burdens of
war, they at once decided that they
would not pay a cent, and so far they
have not. They have shifted the bur-
den entirely upon the people. Noin.
dividual could make his neighbors paw
his taxes. but the corporations have
never failed in lodging taxes before,
and they are confident that they will
not fail this time.
When congress put a war tax upon
express business it intended that this
tax should be paid by the wealthy ex
press companies, and when it said that
every telegram should bear a STAMP,
it intended that these stamps should
be paid for out of the accumulated and
and accommodating millions of the tel
egraph companies that is, majori-
ty OF the members did, though the cor
pOratlons always have their agents on
the floor of congress to tamper with
the phraseology of bills so that there
will be an Interpretation by which it
is possible for the corporations to
gain their ends if they can get corpo-
ration judges on the bench.
All over the United States the busi-
ness men, through their organizations
are starting legal fights to force the
express companies to pay the tax that
has been laid upon them. Not only in
Kansas, Missouri and other western
states, has this move been made. but
also In the east, where the corpora
tlons are supposed to be all powerful.
There is danger line somewhere for
presumptuOus cOrporations-the peo-
pie will finally reach point where
they will refuse to be longer imposed
upon. 1t would seem that the latest
display of an utter lack of patri otism
has aroused the people at last to de-
| termination to protect their rights.
The telegraph companies will have to
explain IN court why they should not
bear the burden placed upon them,
and all the legal trickery that can be
employed will not allow them to es-
/ cape this time. 1t is no nice question
between what is right and what is
wrong, that requires a delicately-
poised legal mind to decide. IL is u
wrons; so hagrant that the whole coun-
try recog nizes it, and rises in indig-
nant protest. The corporations are
endeav oring to impose upon the Whole
people TINS time, and the whole peo-
pie nave given the warming that they

HICKORY CLUB MEETING
ABBOT KINNEY EXPLAINS THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
Large Number of Candidates Present
Who Make speeches-Congress-
man Barlow introduced

The regular meeting Of the Hickory club
last evening was an eventful one, not only
in point of attendance, but also on ac-
count of the number of distinguished
guests present. Among the latter was
Charles A. Barlow, the union nominee for
congress. He did not make a speech, but
gave short talk on the principal issues OF
the campaign, and concluded by saying
that he did not deal in personalities, but
those wishing to know how he stood on
the issues involved could find out by going
to hear him at the wigwam tonight.
Abbot Kinney was the principal speaker
of the evening. He took for his subject
the proposed constitutional amendments
on which the people of the state will be
called upon to vote at the coming election.
Some Of them MIR. Kinney favored, but
others he denounced. Amendment number
one, In relation to revenue and taxation,
he claimed was aimed directly to Increase
the commercial interests Of California, and
was therefore good and should be voted
for. The section to legalze unlegalized
debts and thereby secure their payment
was not favored by the speaker, who
claimed 1t was AM amendment favored only
by few capitalists. That section offered
for the purpose of permitting counties to
elect board of freeholders and govern
the county ON the same lines as that of an
incorporated city was good, for the reason
that there are now almost Isl many classes
Of county government as there are coun-
ties in the state.
The amendment relating to a proposed
court of claims, a body composed Of men,
bers Of the supreme bench, to sit and hear
and determine claims of all kinds, was
greatly favored by Mr.. Kinney, who stated
that the proposed system would take much
of the ques tionable business out of the
hands Of the legislature. Amendment five,
relating to officers, their terms of office
and the filling of vacancies should also be
voted for. Section five was declared by
Mr.. Kinney to be one of the most impor-
:ant, and should not be accepted by the
people. This, he said, related to grammar
and primary schools, and was an attempt
to enlarge the high school system at the
expense of the former. The last amend
ment, providing for adjournment of the
legislature for not less than thirty days
and not more than sixty days during each
session, was another questionable amend
ment. Mr.. Kinney, in closing, paid his
respects to the Republican method of con-
Quoting the war, and said that the army
was in need of reorganization.
Other speakers were Il. I. Woodman,
union candidate for the position of state
printer; ]. Fl. Mulholland, candidate for
surveyor general; Ben Mead, on the legis-
lative ticket, and A. r. Sprague, an aspi-
rant for the position of county recorder.
A resolution paying high tribute to the
late Judge A. w. Ryan was passed by the
club.
