Comparison OF Tax Accounts.

State Auditor Cole has prepared
statement showing comparison of
the tax account of the los counties of
Kansas for the year 1899 with that of
the year 1895. In it he says:
At the beginning of 1895 the delinquent
state tax due from counties amounted to
Sl45,5oO. This amount increased durin.,
the next year or two until on January l,
1889, the delinquent tax amounted to $242;-
3cS. During the year 1899 there was paid
on this delinquency the sum of Sl52 523
leaving balance of $50, SIS due at this
date. In 1885 there were but "a counties
owing no delinquent tax. At this time
there are 56 counties paid in full. An
other proof of the better condition of the
state financially is found in an examina-
ton of the bond records in the state aud
itors office. Since January l. 1899, the
auditor has registered refunding bonds of
various municipalities, aggregating about
$o,OOO,OO bearing interest at rates VARYING
from 3%4 per cent to five per cent to re-
1und Indebtedness upon which from six
per cent. to eight per cent. interest was
being paid So eager have ben investors
to obtain the township, city and county
bonds of Kansas that very often bonds
bearing from to AZ per cent. were sold
at quite large premium above par In
addition to the large reduction Of debt
by decreasing the rate of interest bonds
aggreSating $500.0O0 have been paid ont
right, and great many Municipalities
that nave heretofore been burdened with
a large bonded Indebtedness are now free
from all debt

Something like 20 years ago Barney
Bohen killed two Anderson brothers
at Brookville. He was sentenced for
life, but his faithful wife worked for
Is years and finally secured for him n
pardon. During these years she regu-
larly sent him money and boxes of

confinement. But, upon being re-
leased, Bohan ran away to Montana
without even going to see his faithful
spouse, and for several years she knew
nothing of his whereabouts. BY pat
enting Il smoke consumer Bohan be-
came well-to-do, but when his wife
searched him out and asked for aid
he disowned her and cast her off with

is proceeding against her husband
with all the fury of woman scorned.

Row In Topeka Capital Ohics Over the
Announcements That 1t Would Continue
ms "Christian Newspaper"

Topeka, Kan. March 1S.-The di-
fectors of the Topeka Capital were in
big row Saturday over the future
policy of the paper. F. o. Popenoe,
president and majority stockholder
of the Capital company, had an
nounced that the Capital would con-
tinue as n Christian daily. It seems
he had not consulted the other stock
holders. They bitterly oppose the
idea, and much feeling has been
aroused in the directorate of the pa
per. Dell Keiser, business manager
of the Capital and n heavy stock
holder in the company, threatens suit
against Mr.. Popenoe for announcing
the policy of the paper. He is very
indignant, and declares the Capital
will not be run as n Christian daily.
Gen. j. X. Hudson. editor of the Cap.
ital, shares Mr.. Keiser's Indignation

UNDER THE NEW LAW.
Banks Taking Advantage of the
Privilege of Issuing to Par
Value of Their Bonds.
THE MARKET RATE OF BONDS HIGH.
Many Institutions Are Withdrawing Bonds
from the Treasury, Finding It More
Profitable to Sell Them-New Law Au-
thorizes an Increase of the Currency by
Twenty-Four Million Dollars

Washington, March 1S.-Comp-
troller of the Currency Dawes has
FURNISHED some interesting facts with
regard to the operation of the new
currency law. New currency, to the
amount of S1,7O3, 600, was sent out
the first to national banks under that
section of the new law which allows
the banks to issue circulation to the
par value Of the bonds which they
have on deposit with the treasury.
There are now on deposit with the
national treasury to guarantee the
circulation of banks United States
bonds to the amount of 4O,OOO, 900.
Under the old law the banks could is
sue circulation only up to 90 per cent.
OF the amount of their bonds. The
ten per cent. additional which they
can put out under the new law will
increase the circulation by So, ,OOO, 900,
provided the same amount of bonds
remain on deposit. This, however, is
not likely to be the case. The present
market rate of bonds is so high that
many of the banks are withdrawing
their bonds from the treasury, finding
1T more profitable to sell them. The
new law limits Withdrawals to the
amount of $3,000,OO0 month. This is
done to prevent undue contraction of
the circulating medium, which might
occur if the Withdrawals were unlim-
tied, for the reason that for every dol
lar of bonds withdrawn the bank
must deposit with the treasury dol
lar in lawful money. If the limitation
on Withdrawals were not in the new
bill contrao .on of the currency, in
stead of an expansion, as the bill con-
templates, would be likely to occur in
short order on account of the present
high rate of bonds. The Withdrawals
of bonds up to April 1 will amount to
$3,000,000, the limit of the law, and
applications for the withdrawal of
$S00,000 worth of bonds in April have
already been received by the treasury
"A large number of charters to banks 4
with $4,000 capital, which are author
lied under the law, are being granted.
A number of state banks are taking
advantage of this privilege to change
their charters to national banks.

INTO THE COURTS.
David Is. Hill Wants "A DecIsiOn as to
Whether Porto Rico Is Really q Part
of the United States.

New York, March 1S.-Former Sen
ator David b. Hill and the law firm
of Einstern & Townsend have begun
proceedings by which they feel as
sured the question of whether Porto
Rico is part of the United States,
and whether its inhabitants are en-
titled to all the rights guaranteed by
the constitution will be adiudicated
without delay in the United States
court. The contention is that Porto
Rico is part of the union, subject to
the provisions of the constitution
which says in effect that one part of
the United States shall not, in inter
state trade, levy tax or duty on the
products of another part of the United
States. The suit will be of such char
acter that it can be quickly brought
to the action of the justices at Wash
ington, before whom Senator Hill will
make argument.

DO YOU SEE THE CAT7

In the course of his speech before
The antitrust conference, Tom T..
johnson said:
What are the restrictions and the
special privileges against which COM
mcrce and industry now struggle so
vigorously? There are many of them,
but substantially all may, l think. be
grouped, in the inverse order of i'm
portance. in the following five classes:
Patent monopolies, municipal monop-
ohes, transportation monopolies. taxa
tion monopolies and land monopoly.
After celebrating at length upon
the result of the possession of these
special privileges, he said:
l have in the foregoing illustration.
shown fruits of the operation of sem
arate governmental favors. shall
now offer the manufacture of steel
rails in the United States as present.
ing case combining all forms of gov
ernmental favor. Early in the devel-
opment OF this line of industry a num-
Der of companies purchased the Bes-
semer patents, which, under the pat.
ent monopoly, gave them the exclu-
slVe right to use that process in the
manufacture of steel behind a tariff
wall that in turn gave them an on
portunity to demand an abnormallv
high price for rails. DEVELOPMENT nm
der this line finally led to the acuuisi-
ton, not only of the mineral lands
containing the best and most con-
venienty located ore deposits besides
the most conveniently located fields
from which the best quality of coke
could be made, but also to the ac-
quiring of railroads and .harbor IA
cilities most available for the assem-
bling of raw materials.
So long as they possess the monop-
oily of natural advantages they can.
notwithstanding the expiration of
patents or even the reduction or aboli-
ton of the tariff, still control this in
dustry. And they will continue to
possess this monopoly of natural ad-
vantages so long as discriminating
taxes allow them to go almost free of
their share of the tax burden. If
they paid on these natural advantages
IN proportion to the amount paid by
farmers and small home owners they
would find it Improbable to withhold
more land than they had actual need
of. and would thus open up the way
for competition.
