December 81, 1893, they started east
across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt,
where they took passage for Australia.
Their wanGeEiugs through the inner

NUMBER 9.

The Oshkosh Northwestern
says that within the last few
weeks the ladies in the First
Methodist and Fist Presbyteri-
an Churches have begun to re
move their hats during. service.
The movement is very generally
approved. 1t is particularly ac-
ceptable to the people who have
their view Of the pulpit obstruct-
ed BY the high hats commonly
worn today. The impression
made by a congregational which
the ladies have their hats off is
velv pleasing. It appears to be
reverent and III good taste. So
agreeable an innovation cannot
help but commend itself, especi-
ally to all Wearers OF high hats
who havenative court sev enough
respect the comfort and pleas
ure Of those who sit back of them.
It is evidently simply a question
Of time until so commendable a
practice is universally observed

amount OF land adjacent to
their holdings, and yet leave an open
range compared with which state and
private ownership is but a drop in the
bucket. A further grant of two million
acres from Uncle Sam will solve the
whole probiem-if this grant is distri-
buted in accordance with justice and
equality among all classes of stock
men, big and little, as has been the
rule with the present state admins
tration. The selections made since
January, 1899, which take all the lands
due the state under the several grants,
covering 1eS, 1872 acres, were made at
the instance of 442 different persons,
scattered all over the state, averaging
$50 acres each. The state board leased
during 1899 324,545 acres of land here
tofore Unbiased, to $50 different persons
not quite 900 acres to the individual
and there are applications now on
file from 625 different persons for the
selection OF 4OO, 900 acres of land, but
the grants are exhausted. All these
rumors and reports alleging that to get
state land one must have a pull" and
that some of the big" outfits have been
granted wide areas while the little"
fellows have been refused. are lies pure

"A man is just this mean: II he has
to pay a tax upon his dog, he wants
his %neighbor to do likewise. '-Atchi-
son Globe.
The entire tax problem is summed
up in the foregoing. There is no safe
ty in a republic save in absolute
equality. If one mans dog is taxed.
then another mans dog should be tax
ed. If one class of property is taxed,
then another class should be taxed
equally in proportion to its value. No
favoritism should be shown anywhere
at n time to anybody. The man who
has attained wealth should be taxed
Just in proportion to what he owns,
the same as the poor man. In the mat
ter of equalization, too, we should have
due regard for the valuation fixed by
our %neighbors Of other countries, in
order that We may not be called upon
to pay a greater portion of the state
tax than we should. Our assessor and
boards Of equalization will perform
their duty to the best OF their ability,
and all that stands in the way Of an
absolutely fair assessment is the in
clination on the part Of some to evade
the payment Of their fair proportion OF
the burden Of government.

CAREFULLY SIZED UP.

Anent the cry against land leasing
which is invariably raised Just prior
to an election in this state-presum-
ably by either supposedly shrewd poll
ticians or their allies or dupes-it is
rather curious to note that a great
many Of the gentlemen who have
signed the protest recently circulated
against this method are present pat
rons Of the state land board; are pay
ing rent on state lands today, and are
actually asking for more! Petitions,
or protests, as a rule, prove nothing,
and five men out OF ten will cheerfully
sign a petition asking for summary ex-
ecution, If properly presented. The fact
is that our people are almost a unit on
the proposition, as outlined in the Bud
get OF last week. They are opposed to
complete cession; but they do demand
further grants from the general gov
eminent, along the lines laid down by
Congressman Mondell for instance,
whereby they may obtain control Of a
