duct at a fixed price and have no means
of recouping themselves in any way for
the unjust rise of prices which, in many
cases, means the complete confiscation
of profits and in many others an actual
loss.
It is clear abuse of opportunities by
the trusts like this that must finally work
their undoing. People may be content
at combinations of industry. If there
may be better administration by a con-
centration of effort. none proposes in
reference. The newspapers have as
frankly recognized other phases of the
trust as they have the reprehensible
phase of an arbitrary and unnecessary
increase of prices. Congress can not too
soon give it's attention to a matter of
this kind

HIGHER TAXES.
Assessors Raise Valuation of Live
Stock.

The township and city assessors of
Shawnee county are holding their an
nual meeting at the court house today
for the purpose of fixing the assessed
valuation OF different classes of prop
erty. The general trend of valuation
is upward, and the valuation of several
classes has been increased.
An organization was formed by the
election of F. w. Harrison, of Auburn
township, as chairman, and c. P. Boil
mar, of Topeka, as secretary
County Auditor Pagan addressed the
assessors, telling them that more money
would have to be raised each year or
else county warrants will have to be
stamped mot paid for want of funds
and in the course of time bond issues
will have to follow to take up the war
increased, Mr.. Pagan explained, be-
cause the county tax levy is al
ready up to the limit allowed by
law. Last year personal property
throughout the county was assessed at
SO per cent. of it's actual value, city
only 33 l-3 per cent.
An effort may be made to raise the
country real estate to SO per cent of its
value, the same as other property. 9th
county real estate was assessed at
per cent.
The committee which prepared the
basis of valuation reported the same
basis as last year, with the following
changes:
Colts. years old. raised from $12 to
SIS.
Work horses, second class. raised
from SIS to $40.
Mules, years old, raised from s1s to
$40
Work mules. second-class. raised from
$40 to $22.
Steers. years old, rough fed, raised
from SIG to SIS.
Cattle Medium raised from 11h fn Q
cents per pound.
Sheep and goats raised from 81 to
$3.50.
Corn lowered from IA to II cents per
bushel.
The assessors are also discussing
whether the 5000 exemption shall be
made from the actual value or the as
Sessed value.

THE WHITE PAPER TRUST.

LF'rom the Indianapolis News.
A fresh Illustration of the evils of the
trust, with little compensating good,
was put forth by the meeting of the
American Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation in New York. in the adoption of
resolutions memorializing congress for
some sort of remedial legislation apro-
pos Of the increased price of white pa
per, which has been made without rea-
son or warrant in the condition of the
paper-making industry itself No spec
ific form was suggested, but the atten-
ton of congress was directed to five
bills now in the hands of the ways and
means committee as evidence of the
great demand for some sort of Iegisla-
ton. The resolutions well say that the
natural agitation against trusts pre-
sents no more concrete example than
this.
The Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton, representing not merely its own
members, but the $4,000 newspapers in
the United States, is made up of men
who are accustomed to weigh things
carefully. They are not easily deceived
by appearances. When men of this
character adopt a deliberate memorial
of this kind and back it up by their ex-
perience, it is something that can not
be attributed to passion or prejudice. It
IS a plain business proposition. The pa
per trust has arbitrarily increased the
price of white paper from 60 to 100 per
cent. and this bears on a class of indus
tries as the resolutions point out, that,
unlike most other kinds. sell their pro-
