FEW PEOPLE; BIG DEBT.
One Kansas County Has 11a Voters
and $4,000 Indebtedness.

If an Iowa man lived in county
that had but 113 taxpayers in it and
the bonded Indebtedness of that coun-
ty amounted to $4,000, the Iowa man
would think that he lived on the edge
of creation, with the jumping off place
just around the base of the next hill.
Conditions like this exist in Kansas,
in one case it being worse if anything
as shown by the following dispatch
from Topeka:
Topeka, Dec. 13.-The regular bien-
NAL talk of wholesale consolidation of
western Kansas counties has been re-
vived. Even since the collapse of the
boom, this question has come up be-
fore each legislature, but the only re-
suit so far has been the wiping out
of one county. Garfield county was
abolished and the territory was an
nexed to Finney county.
1t is the opinion of many of the lead
ing men of the state, however, that
something should be done to relieve
the situation. For instance eight
counties in southwestern Kansas, with
total vote of 2,175, have as many
representative as eight counties in
eastern Kansas with combined vote
of 41,654. In other words, a repre-
sentative from sparsely settled
county of the west represents 272
voters, while the representatives from
eastern Kansas represents 5,216 vot.
ers. This, it is felt, is too one-sided.
| Aside from the question of represen
tation in the legislature, there is an
other question involved. Haskell
county cast 113 votes this time and
has bonded Indebtedness of $4,000;
Morton county cast IS votes and it's in
debtedness is $5S,0OO; Stevens, 15e
votes, Indebtedness $s3,3SS; Stanton
1 81 votes, Indebtedness, $61,000; Sew
ard, 202 votes, Indebtedness, Sal, 500;
Grant 112 votes, Indebtedness, sos,
geo. Total vote cast in the six coun
