NEARLY 4 MILLION
Immense Increase in Personal
Property Values.
IN CITY OF WICHITA
This Doesn't Include Packing
House Improvements.

City Assessor Jackman said yesterday
that the increase Of personal property in
Wichita this year over last year will be
/ $4,000 and the Increase assessment on
| account of new improvements to property
in the city SSo,0o0, making an increase. OF
S1s5oo0.
When the manner Of assessing property
is taken into consideration, this is a very
remarkable showing. 1t is the intention
Of the city assessor 10 return about 90
per cent Of the cash value for taxation.
and yesterday Mr.. Jackman gave it as his
opinion that the returns actually showed
an increased value for the year in per-
soDal property Of $685. 900, that is, counting
the improvements to real estate made
during the year as personal.
The big Improvements made at the
packing houses do not show in this re-
port for the reason that while they are
IN fact a part of the city they are out
side the corporation, and their increased
value on account Of Improvements VIII be
counted In Wichita township. The $4,000
added to the tax rolls on account Of i'm
provements means that there was spent
during the year in round numbers $3.50. 600
IN building and improving houses already
built Then there has been other thou
sands spent for the same purpose since
the first OF March that do not show in
these returns.
People who ride over this city viii Won
der that there was not q better showing
than even this. They see in every. part
Of the city people painting their houses
and building additions and new porches, /
and the aggregate must be immense. Then
outside of these valuable improvements (
the assessment shows that there has been
over S360.000 worth of personal property
added to the values Of this city during
the year ending on the first day of last
March.
There is no getting around the fact that /
Wichita is growing and adding to her /
stores OF wealth in such a remarkable de- (
gree that if even the present pace is kept /
Up for a very few years this city VIII be \
the one great metropolis OF the great /
country between the Missouri river and f.

that new business houses keep coming
and that the streets Of Wichita are so
often congested with a busy throng of
people. These things are but the indca-
tions of the coming Of greater Wichita,

ANOTHER CASE IN POlNI
Mr. HnckIe Makes some Comment &
on Decision.

r. j. Hukle, writing from Hukle, Kans,
says: In your issue Of today spaking
of the supreme court decision on Porto
Rico case you make an Illustration that
to me seems not gernane to the case. You
use the figure of probation IN the Meth0-
dist church to show and Justify the courts
action. Why not take, TO Illustrate the
courts unconstitutional action, the case
Of naturalization Of foreign subjects? viz:
When foreign subject applies Tor, takes
the oath Of citizenship and is given his
papers is he on probation, is be not a
citizen IN fun fellowship as much then
as the judges OF the supreme court2 If
the Porto Ricans are under our flag and
supporting It, why deny them the fun
blessings in the bin Of rights as citizens?
Mr.. Hulcle is I'm error concerning the
privileges extended to foreigners. resident
in this country. A foreigner arriving here
IS denied citizenship for five years and
may be denied il for a longer period. 1t
is entirely with the judges of district
courts. The general idea, however, is
that ia five years q foreigner can acquire
or absorb the national spirit which fits
him for American citizenship. To be ac-
curate a foreigner is never given fuu
citizenship in this country; for instance,
unlike the native born citizen. he cannot
hold the Offices of president or vice presi-
den OF the United States or any Office
whose occupant could succeed to the pres
idency ia the event of a vacancy i'm that
Office.
Ia speaking about foreigners. AIr.
Hukle unconsciously furnishes an idea
that can be adapted In illustrating the
idea of the supreme court in the Porto
Rican case very aptly. When the for
eigner comes here and declares his iuten-
lion to become a citizen he has precisely
the same status that the supreme court
says Porto Rico has. he Immediately
becomes q constituent unit Of American
citizenship in its foreign relations bat not
an American citizen ia its domestic rela-
ticns. Let a foreign power lay its hands
upon him and America viii say take it
Off but at the same time America in its
domestic policy VIII deny him citizenship
or as MT HuSle suggests, fellowship It
is for this protection from foreign hands /
that We demand from him. If necessary, I
hs service in the army. precisely as we
demand from Porto Rico taxes for the /
protection we give it from foreign inter /
ference.

GENERATOR CAN EXPLODED

WeIch,s 2iIliard rfalI


There was q small fire at half past two
this morning in the Welch billiard hall
AT 203 East Douglas avenue. The FIRE
was caused by the explosion Of a gasoline
generator can that makes the gas for the
lights. The blaze was easily put out
with the chemical and the damage is very
slight AT 2:20 last night just as Ike
Colvin the night man at the billiard han
was preparing to close up he noticed the
lights suddenly lower and get dim and
there was a NJ bang in the back part of
the room and sheet of flame sprang up
from the gasoline light generator can. He
ran 10 the corner and turned in the alarm
and the fire company was soon on hand
and soon extinguished the blazing oil can.
The only damage done was a scorching Of
a partition and some wall paper IN the
back of the room.
The explosion was probably caused by a
loose tap on the generator can allowing
the gas TO get to The flame OF the genera
tor lamp.

Kansas City great, so will the develop

rue CROP REPORT.

The latest government crop report, is
sued this week, is valuable in that it
gives a fairer idea of the seasons yield
than previous estimates. The corn crop,
in which chief interest centers in Iowa,
has advanced to percentage of SCI, as
compared with SIT last month, and S1.s
the mean October average of the last ten
years. In other words its standing at
present is little more than one half Of
an average crop, or to be accurate, 1l.2
points more than half the October aver
age for ten years. The greatest advance
in figures during the past month in all
the states has been the four points made
by Iowa. 1t is believed that when the
final roundup is made Iowa will make a
stlll better showing.
The oats crop is only points lower
than the October average for ten years.
Barley is 1.3 points in advance of the ten
years estimate. Rye is IS higher. Buck
wheat is 10 points higher.
me pofato crop stands at 81 per cent,
as comp,tred with 522 last month and
75.4 for tile mean October average of the
last ten years, or 1853 points more than
half the average for ten years. Later
returns may show a greater crop.
The apple crop shows a big slump in
the chief producing states of the north.
with gains in only four states, in In
diana and in the southern and middle
states.

MUST Be QUALIFIED.

Reference was made the other day in
the T.-R. TO the announced determine
ton of President Roosevelt to make no
appointments to Office of men unfit in
character and ability for public posi-
tons, even tho they were backed by a
dozen senator's or representatives. 1t
was a praiseworthy stand to take, and
set one that involved some political
peril to an ambitious man.
Now we have a practical Illustration
of his purpose to carry out this high re-
solve. According to Washington cor
respondent Senator w. f. Mason, of
Illinois, was urging a federal appoint
ment. This man, Mr.. President, is
hacked by the organization" the senator
declared, whereupon he was interrupted.
The president arose. His voice alst, rose
and was audible in adjacent rooms.
That is all very we'll. senator. he
cried. II wish to stand well with the
Illinois organization. and all that. l
would like to please that organization.
but you must understand that will ap-
point no man unless he is eminently
qualified for the position which he seeks
and is a man of integrity. I have said
this to senator's. and propose to stand
by It,
1t is stated further that the president
declined to give any assurances as to
what he would do in the case under dis
cusson, intimating that he would re-
serve his decision until he had satisfied
himself as to the qualifications Of the
applicant.
This is taken to mean that there will
be general shake-up in positions in
Illinois, and yet it can only be 30 IL men
urged forsoffice or now holding positions
in that state are unfit for the places, il
the president is to be taken seriously.
and the T.-R. believes he should By.

4 VOICE For CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

L
Iowa rejoice over every step made to
beauty and improve the towns and
cities in the state, as well as over every
voice raised in encouragement OF it.
The season is again arriving when leaf
less trees faded lawns dull walls and
Uttered streets reveal all that ID ullat-
tract.ve. They are not inspiring, but
they ought to be incentives to improve-
ment.
Among the voices recently heard. on
this subject was that of Mrs, Carrie
NJ. ogiivie. of Des Moines, who this
week addressed the meeting of the
Iowa League of Municipalities at Os-
kaloosa on "Woman's Place in Mu-
nicipal Affairs" 1t was plea for CO.
operative effort, in which women
should be equally interested with men
in city government. She contenied,
however, that before cooperation be-
zation among women pointing to civic
reform. With organization thus per-
formed cooperation may be begun
along at least three different lines.
First, co-operation with the board OF
education, in fostering the interests OF
| the public schools; second, co-opera-
ton with the park board, and the city
engineering department. in matters
| pertaining to the care Of streets, park
ing, planting of trees, improvement of
vacant lots and establishing breathing
| spots in the congested districts of
I towns; their cooperation with the city
health department.
There is hope for the betterment of
every town where worthy organiza-
ton of women stands ready to encour-
age or aid the work of civic improve
ment. Discussing the educational
! feature of her subject she declared we
| must have more industrial education.
| She said, Not manual training, but
schools of trades, must be established
from which children Is years of age
4 i 8
and and up may be turned out ready to
earn a living. BY every law of nature
the future of commerce belongs to
America. There is one way in which
America can lose and that is by falling
behind in Industrial educatlon.. AS
between q high school and n trades
Eschool she would foster the latter.
In urging cooperation with the
board of health Mrs. ogilvie denounced
splitting in street cars as nuisance
land menace to public health. She
4 touched on the garbage question and
the collection of refuse in alleys, and
stated that women may be able to do a
great deal in connection with probing
milk frauds and demanding better
lighting and ventilation for public
buildings

Noticing that Congressman Hull had
called upon President Roosevelt, the
Davenport Democrat says: Capt. Hull
las been in the Philippines during the
past summer and he Is supposed TO be
full of information. But 1t would cot be
safe for him to disclose the project near
est his heart to Mr.. Roosevelt. So far as
known the president has never used
public office for private gain. He is not
a. syndicate promoter. and he has no
financial interests in the insular posses
sions or elsewhere-at least none to be
affected by the legislation of congress. "
1T is a cold day when the Des Moines
papers can't find something to roast the
other fellow about" remarks the Hamp-
ton Chronicle. in speaking of the recent
wrangle over purloined editorials.
The Indianola Herald believes that
president Roosevelt is endearing him
self to the American people by the exer-
else of that good common sense SO char
acteristic of the man. 1t has been said,
and truthfully So that in some things
he is impulsive, but with responsibility
comes that other great quality in his
make -conservatism-which is now
predomlnating his every act
In discussing the exchange of the
mulct law for local option, as urged by
the democrats, the Decatur County
Journal says: 1--WE prefer to hold on to
all the good we have and not open the
way for more saloons. The people OF
Iowa have no use for local option and
we have no idea they will be induced to
make the proposed change"
