Union High School Number One
is given very high rank among the
High Schools of the state by the
city superintendents and heads Of
state institutions.
The large list of colleges outside
the state, to which this High School
is accredited, shows the same high
rank beyond our state limils.
Very much Of this credit is due
to the wisdom and prudence OF our
high school committe. consisting
OF Mrs. Mary J. Anderson, F. A.
Sabin, Robert w. Patterson and
X. A. Steen. For their assistance
and counsel we are grateful, as the
best interests of the school could
not be more wisely and efficientl,
preserved.

Courses Of study.

The school offers three courses
of study-the Classical, the Latin
Scientific and the English Each
OF these courses covers period of
four years and leads to diploma
which admits the student without
examination to the State Univer-
sity, Colorado College, Denver
University, the State Agricultural
College, the University OF Kansas,

THE Kansas delegates to the repub-
can national convention at Phlladel-
phia on June 10th, will meet in Topeka
Monday evening to make arrange
ments tor the trip There IL no oppo-
sition to M. A. Lowe for national com-
mitteeman and he will undoubtedly
be chosen for that position.
The above paragraph appeared in
the Mail and Breeze last week. This
strikes the man who has some notion
that the railroads influence in poll
tics should have a limit, as rather an
unblushing admission. NJ. A. Lowe is
the general attorney Of the Rock Is
land, and II he is chosen as national
committeeman everyone knows 1t
means unlimited transportation for
republican henchmen and their voters.
Lowe cannot refuse to grant 1t, and
then by competition the other roads
will be compelled to do the same.
But that does not mean that these ia
vors will be extended to the populists,
Then after all this, republicans will
come out and pose as friends of rail-
road legislation.

The United States Supreme Court u
short time ago handed down deci-
sion on the validity Of that part Of the
war revenue law imposing a tax on
inheritances, In which 1t was held
that the provision is constitutional,
This will cause the populists to place
one mark to the credit Of the Sup rene
Court for declaring one law consttu
tional and that too of nature that
benefits the people. 1t was held that
the law passed by Congress inpased
the tax upon the legacy and not upon
the estate as a whole. While this Is
in the interest of wealth and will RI.
duce the income from the law some
what by reducing the rate applied to
the large estat"s,it isnot very material
The rate is low anyway and the
amounts that will be collected will
probably not be very great. All there
is in the decision for congratulation is
the fact of the principle being main
tanned, both as to the power Of Congress
to levy such tax, and as to
power to graduate the rate according
to the amount Of the requests, There
is only one thing yet lacking, There
is no way Of knowing when the august
tribunal Of nine men who placed a
veto upon all legislation at their pleas
ure and are beyond the reach of the
ballots OF the people, are going to
change their minds The income tax
was once held to be constitutional but
a later opinion decided that it was
constitutional only for war purposes.
But If the imperiultstic policy wins at
the polls, u continuous condition Of
war will probably prevent that turn
made on TIT question of an inheritance
tax. However in that event there
will be no possibility of increasing the
rate of the tax so as to really make
1t yeild revenue. But should the
reform forces win, the platforms de-
claring for both an income and inherl-
lance tax, the decision will be of much
value, showing the constitutionality Of
the measure.
