KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.


The state tax commission has about
compiled a completed tax bill and it
will soon publish il in pamphlet form
and scatter it over the state for criti-i
cism and suggestions. After the peo-
pie have made all their suggestionsl
the commission will meet again and
revise the bill to include the sugges-I
tions of Importance. This bill is ali
most duplicate of the Indiana tax
law. Its principal features have been
published. Only two have escaped.l
One is in reference to the assessment
of telegraph and express companies.
Heretofore these companies have been
assessed on the actual amount of
property. If the new bill becomes al
law the assessment of express andI
telegraph companies will be based onl
their stocks and bonded indebtedness.
This will increase their taxes several
fold. The other feature is a change I'M
the system of running the Office of
county treasurer. The treasurer will
be nothing more than custodian of the.
county funds. The county clerk will
be sort of an auditor, and the treas,
urer cannot pay out any money unless
upon check of the clerk. The clerkl
will have a complete check on the,
treasurer. This change is suggested
in order to prevent shortages.

WAS THE czAR polsoNEDg

Some French papers seem TO credit
the sensational story that the recent
illness Of the Car was due TO an at
tempt to take his life by means Of
poison. II is recalled that no one Of
the court or family was allowed TO see
the Imperial patient during his Illness
and that his physician was paid $780,
900 besides houses and other glfts-a fee
thought TO be extraordinary for a case
Of typhoid fever II is also said
that his temperature fell below that OF
any disease except Immediately before
death And these facts are thought
TO confirm the rumors that an attempt
at assassination was the real cause Of
the disease.
The position of ruler. even when au-
tocratic powers go with It, il not
without It's dangers The car, though
a man Of culture and broad views, hui
name and peaceful--or perhaps on ac-
count OF those Qualitles--is less safe In
his empire than the humble peasant
who tolls in the sweat Of his brow and
trusts TO Providence and the Car for
happiness here and hereafter. His food
is hardly less carefully guarded than
that of the Turkish Sultan. Those who
prepare II are well watched The In
ference Is, that II he. Notwithstanding
all precautions, was poisoned In his
food. the deed must have been done at
the instlgatlon Of some one occupying

The great trouble with Russia Is that
there Is too much enlightenment In the
country TO make autocracy comforta-
Bile form OF government. and at the
same time there Is too little general
knowledge to make II advisable to give
the peopIs constitution and represen-
tation, such az modern nations demand.
The position Of the ruler is therefore a
most difficult one. He Is between two
opposing forces. Sooner or later a
Russian monarch will have to step
over TO the side Of the people and lis
ten to their demands, but he cannot do
so without rlsklng martyr death in the
cause OF constitutional liberty

STOP INCREASING TAXATION.

Titan once took pride in being one OF
the lowest-taxed communities in the
country It was also proud Of being
out VI debt. There was no bonded la
bnlues On cities. counties or the Terri
tory "Ioy as you CO. .as its financial
motto coupled with the aphorlsm, Debt
Is bondage" All that has been changed.
improvements OF various kinds have
been made which the people no doubt
appreciate, but many OF them have
cost too much because they involved
debts bearing big interest
As a necessary consequence taxation
has increased. This has been felt not
only In the added values assessed upon
property. but In the higher rates Of
taxation The people are pretty heavily
burdened and there Is strong demand
for relief. Any proposition to make the
burden greater will be resisted TO the
utmost.
If there Is anything that would APP
peal more strongly than another to the
pockets Of the taxpayers, II Is the cause
Of education. The people OF Utah have
consented to running into debt very
generally, for the erection OF suitable
buildings and the support Of the public
schools. Ii costs them a great deal
more now to educate their children,
than in the times when they had to
pay Cor tuition by direct fees per capt.
"a. The grade of education. however, Is
much higher and probably well worth
the greater price,
But there must come q limit to this
expenditure. The popular cry is for the
lowering Of taxes. The proposition to
increase the tax limit In this city two
mills will not meet with public favor
It Is not because the people lack appre-
citation Of the benefits Of learning, or
that they desire to cripple the Board
Of Education. It is because the load
on their backs is about as much as they
are able TO bear. and more than some
OF them can endure
II legislative action is taken on the
unfair and unjust constitutional amend
ment, designed to make the city after
paying It's own school expenses ana
bearing It's proportion-larger than any
other--of State taxation for that pur-
pose contribute large sums for the sup
port OF schools In the county-in view
Of that possibility, a movement Tor
legislation TO Increase the levy for the
city schools would raise intense opposl-
ton. Economy will have to be exer-
csed and the garment must be cut ac-
cordlng to the cloth In hand.
We do not understand that the Board
OF Education intends TO apply for in
creased taxing powers. The desire to
keep the schools open for the full term
Is right and will be endorsed by the
public. The present Board Is not re-
sponsible for the financial deficiency
nov existing. Every reasonable encour-
agement should be given to Its efforts
to maintain the schools.
The Board Of Education is confront
ed with serious situation, but we hope
viii prove able TO meet It. and so man
age affairs that the schools VIII not
materially suffer and the taxpayers
will not be weighed down with heavier
financial burdens. The Legislature VIII

NO PRIZE FIGHTS IN OHIO.

Governor Nash OF Ohio deserves the
applause OF all good citizens for the
stand he has taken as to the Jeffrles'
Rubin prlze-hght. Where such ex-
hlbItIons are Illegal, they should not be
permitted TO be held no matter under
what pretense.
It seems that at musical entertain
ment held in Cincinnati some time ago.
a heavy deficit was incurred, and the
directors conceived the idea OF arrang-
ing for prize-hght, to wipe out the
deficit with the proceeds. Then the
people appealed to the courts and the
governor to prevent the mill from COM
ing off as advertised, and the governor
promptly responded, stating that the
fight must not take place, even II the
entire power Of the state were TO pe
brought out to prevent It, Petitions
from a certain class Of business mel
were not wanting, setting forth the
harmlessness OF the entertainment, but
the governor wisely listened to the
voice OF the people.
The law OF Ohio permits athletic con-
tests between members Of such clubs.
but the governor takes the view that
the saengerfest association OF cinein
natl IS no athletic club. And even II II
