A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVES.

HON. J, A. DEBARD Of this county
has received several very high Compll-
ments on his work as member Of the
legislature. Among the best Is the fol-
lowing from the Merchants Journal Of
Topeka, the official paper Of the State
Retail Grocers Association which was
published with his portrait.
"Janes A, DeBard who is represent
ing the 10th district Of the Kansas le-
gislature is one Of the few merchants
who are members Of that body. That
practical business men make the most
valuable legislators no one can gainsay
and it would be a good thing for the
commercial interests of the State II
more merchants would consent to en-
ter the race for legislative honors than
do. Mr., DeBard is the Senior mem
Der of the firm Of DeBard & Keopple,
general dealers at Turon, Reno county
and was elected ON the fusion ticket.
He is young man thirty-nine years Of
age but has crowded q great deal Of
history and experience into those years
and may be counted as successful.
"Born in Petersburg, Indiana, he at
tended the public schools for his early
education, afterwards attending the
ACADEMY at Upton and later became q
graduate Of the Northern Indiana Nor
NAL school at Valparaiso. Removing
to Iowa in 1883 he taught school for
several years. Mr.. DeBard along with
the great army Of young men going
west" decided to locate In Kansas and
accordingly In 1887 became a teacher
in Reno county. He afterwards en-
tered business and for years his firm
has been extensive dealers and ship.

ARMY pEEF vs.. ApMINIsrRATIoN

ARMY BEEF vs.. ADMINISTRATION.
In some respects the present army
beef investigation forms rather an In
teresting study to all people but the
president and his thrifty secretary OF
war, Fully three 10 one Of the Wit
nesSeS 80 far examined, and probably
the ratio Is larger than that, have tes'
tilted against the army beef In strong
and unmIstakable language. But an
interested citizen does not have to 10
to the investigating commlOSion 10 learn
the quality Of the canned beef. While
the scandal arose over beef furnished
the troops In Cuba and Porto Rico,
there are plenty Of the boys who cAmped
at ChlckamauRA that complain OF
nausia when the subject Is approached.
The peculiar feature Of the testimony
80 far elected, 10 that only enc witness
complained that worms bothered even
the most Shiny, putrld and vile meat,
and that witness said the worms we're
In the can when 1t was opened. There
sa singular agreement OF testimony
that fires kept safe distance from
meat that was 80 rotten II was thrown
away The only conclusion that can
be- drawn from this testimony ls that
the meat was so filled with preserving
chemicals that II gave even the alea
bad taste In the mouth. II Is no Won
der the soldiers were made sick by eat
ing 1t.
The evidence published Is such that
no matter what the finding Of the court
of inquiry, General Miles will have the
heavy end of public opinion In his favor
and despite the cabals and conspira-
cles which Il is apparent have been In
operation against him by those higher
In authority, 1t is possible he may make
the thing smell so rank as to cause the
removal of Alger by some form or other
voluntary or otherwise, for the preser-
walton of the administration.
General Miles has succeeded very
we'll in sustaining bis military judge
ment and reputation. He has. showed
very well that bis plans were best, Is
for example, it was his idea that meat
for the army should as far as possible,
be furnished fresh from herds Of
beef steers shipped on foot with the
army or when possible provided from
surrounding country 40 has usually
been the practice heretofore. But it 10
obvious that the Armours, the Swifts
and Libbys would have no finger in
such transactions and there would be
small chance for profits.
However we would not have 1t I'M
derstood that General Miles has the
material in him for a ninteenth CEN
fury hero. o mol He Is q military
man and knows nothing else. He has
none of the breadth Of mind and gen.
erous intelligence Of Grant and Sher'
man. He is an aristocrat and a strut
"a man of the eighteenth century, q |
cold blooded lover Of bayonets and
power. But on the other hand he
seems to have some of the graces Of the
true aristocratlc gentleman, honor and
courage, and these are qualities far
tranScending any posed by many Of
those bent on his downfall, who only
consider the meat trusts and other
combines and the prospect Of holding
their Jobs.

OUR sister city, Newton. althouO

OUR sister city, Newton, although
about as strong a republican town as
this, has entered upon the enterprise
Of public ownership. About year ago
it purchased its waterworts. It.
has expended a large amount Of
money In extending and repairing the
plant and the receipts lacked some $l2,.
900 Of eqlaling the expenditures on
this account, But more than enough
money was raised from private con-
sumers to pay operating expenses and
the city is ahead the amount of 81, 200
which has annually been paid the water
company for FIRE protection. Hutchin-
son Is far behind most other towns in
the State in matters Of this kind and as
we understand 1t, on account Of an ex-
tention of franchise to the water
works company some three years ago,
is powerless to enter upon any plan for
city ownership for several years even
If 1t wished.

creased from AZ mills to mills to
meet the heavy expenses. Only two

All other property at It's actual cash
value; no exemptions except conStitu-
tiOnal. All the trustees were present
except the one from LangdOn, who ar
on the train late.
In making this basis at or 80 near
actual value the assessors have. de-
parted from the old custom. Hereto
fore IL has been usual TO assess ut one
third actual value. While the above
basis Is on the whole probably some
what below actual value, particularly
on cattle, 1t is in the main very near It,.
This Is nearer as prescribed by law,
which says personal property shall be
assessed at actual value. The county
clerk is also authority for the state
ment that heretofore this county has
been assessed on a much lower scale
than most other counties Of the state.
OF course that makes no difference
with The amount of taxes the county
has to pay, for the state board Of equal
ization takes the scale determined upon
by the assessors, determines the total
actual valuation and the amount of
State taxes the county should pay, and
then figures the rate necessary to raise
1t on the valuation returned.
But this change from assessing per
sOnal property at One-third actual
value to assessing at real value will
have the effect Of making many people
pay taxes who never did before. For
example, man may have $500 worth
Of personal property actual value.
Take of this $500 exemption allowed
10 q man Of family, and IL leaves him
q valuation Of $500 to pay taxes on. If
his property is assessed at only one
third actual value, 1t will only foot up
5000 and his constitutional exemption
deducted leaves him with no taxes to
pay. OF course increasing the basis
Of assessment to full value will in
crease the valuation about three times,
and will therefore materially lessen
the tax levy.
1t will have the effect Of diminish
ing the taxes on real estate, because
more will no raised from personal
property. Land 10 always visible and
