Injustice Of School Taxation.

An examination of the back of tax
receipt will show many interesting
things, one of which we wish to call at
tention to. There are, in Sumner county,
los school districts. In fourteen OF
these the levy is s mills or less and in
one it is as low as 5 mills. In twenty
two districts the levy is 20 mills or more
and one it is ~ mills. 1t would be diff
cult to devise a system which would be
more unequal or unjust than the present
one. The worst feature of the whole
matter is that the railroads and telegraph
lines aggregating ~ out Of 81 millions
of the taxable property of the county,
almost without exception, run through
districts making a small levy. More
than one-third of all taxes paid are for
school purposes. If the railroads of the
county paid as high rate on an average
as other property for school purposes,
their tax for this purpose would be
raised at least so per cent. This would
be equivalent to a total increase of 1873
per cent. upon the amount OF tax paid
in this or any other county in the state
and this would be only justice. The total
amount paid last year by the railroads and
telegraph lines in Sumner county, was a
little over $4,000. Sixteen and two-thirds
per cent. of this would be over 5000,
which in justice belongs to the county.
Many districts are paying their share OF
the railroad bonds Of their township and
because they have none of this railroad
upon which they help pay bonds to raise
the valuation, the rate Of tax required is
high. This is one Of the things that
should be discussed with view to find
ing a remedy. That remedy must be
found in a larger unit Of taxation.
The township or the county.

A careful reading of the Goebel cleo
ton law and an unbiased investigation
the facts shows that there has been a
systematic and determined effort on the
part of the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road and some other corporations to
blacken the name of GOebel because he
has been fearless, uncomprOmising, de-
ternined and successful in his fight for
the people against the corporations A
fearless and able man who cannot be
bought or driven they will always at
tempt to ruin in this way.

A Model Governor.

Governor Stanley, attorney, has
aroused the just indignation of the
citizens of Wichita, as stated by that
staunch Republican organ, the Wichita
Eagle, by acting as attorney for the no.
torious Dixie Lee, in a recent suit
brought by her to prevent the building of
a Mo. Pac. depot near her place Of bust
ness. The governors contention is, that
the building of the depot on what is now
an out of the way street, will damage her
property and business. A model Sun
day school superintendent and governor,

Uncle Sam pays s3,5oo,ooo a year for
the rent of 500 postal cars which could
be built up for s., 100000 and they would
last for twenty years. Uncle Sam also
pays one cent a pound for each ffty-six
miles of distance that the railroads
hauled the mails. This is about fifty
times as much as is charged for carrying
merchandise. The postofice depart
ment falls behind some five to ten mill
ions annually. With reasonable prices
paid the railroads the earnings of the
department would easily be several
times what the shortage now is. Will
some good Republican stand up and tell
why the government should permit
itself to be so mercilessly robbed by the
railroads in this deal?

Last week A. Cam of Wellington
township, received $500 from the Kra-
mer mills for 1000 bushels of wheat
raised in 1899. This wheat yielded
twenty-five bushels per acre and tested
591l. Pretty good for poor wheat year
like last. Mr.. Cam tells us that he al
ways runs his wheat through a tanning
mill before sowing or marketing. The
amount of chaff and screenings is small,
but it raises the test and the price.

We may be little old fashioned, but
we have not yet learned to appreciate
college and high school yells. If we are
not much mistaken there are many
others who would appreciate occasions
like the contest last Friday evening
much more if there were less of such
demonstrations.

Not to be outdone by the other trusts
the cattle barons have a bill before con-
gress providing for the leasing of I'M
occupied lands for period of ten years
or less; with the privilege of releasing, at
a rental Of one cent per acre or
more. This means that owners of small
herds of cattle will be driven off the
range and that the cattle barons will be
given permanent and absolute control of
the public domain which they will fence
into immense pastures. This bill has
been introduced in the senate by Senator
Foster, Republican from Washington.
Back of it is the trust influence, gen.
orally a power sufficient to carry any
thing. Even the public domain is TO be
used in the interests of the trusts.

In some of the Swiss valleys the in
habitants are all afflicted with goitre or
"thick neck" Instead of regarding
this as deformity they seem to think it
a natural feature of physical develop
ment, and tourists passing through the
valleys are sometimes jeered by the
goitrous inhabitants, because they are
without this offensive swelling. Thus a
form of disease may become so common
that it is regarded as a natural and nee
essary condition of life. It is so, to a
large extent, with what are called dis
eases Of women. Every woman suffers
mere or less from irregularity, ulcera-
ton, debilitatating drains, or female
weakness, and this suffering is so conf
mon and so universal that many women
accept it as a condition natural and nee
essary to their sex. But it is a condition
as unnatural as it is unneces sary. The
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
strengthens the delicate womanly organs
and regulates the womanly functions, so
that woman is practically delivered from
the pain and misery which eat up ten
years of her life-between the ages of
fifteen and forty-fve. "Favorite Pre-.
scription" makes weak women strong
and sick women we'll.
