ANARCHY.

In 1882 at Geneva, Switzerland
a conference OF anarchists was held
and a declaration OF their beliefs
promulgated, as follows:
sour ruler Is our enemy. We
anarchists are men without any .ul-
ers, fighting against those who have
usurped any power or who wish to
usurp it.
"Our enemy is the owner OF the
land who keeps it tor himself and
makes the peasant work for his adj
vantage.
"Our enemy is the manufacturer
who fills his factory with wage
slaves; our enemy is the state,
whether monarehial, oligarehieai, or
democratic, with its officials and
staff officers, magistrates, and pc.
lice spies.
sour enemy IS every thought OF
authority, whether men call it God
or devil, in whose name the priest,
have so long ruled honest people.
sour enemy Is the law which al.
ways Expresses the weak by the

costs OF crime.

CANNOT ARBITRATE STRIKE
Metal Trades Association Have No
Trouble Securing Help.

New York. July lit was decided
by R. NJ. Easley. secretary of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, who has been
here for several days trying to arbi-
trate the strike of the machinists, that
all attempts at settling the strike
through the federation are useless. He
has Just left New York and before he
went away expressed regret that his
efforts to bring about a settlement had
to be abandoned. At the headquarters
of the National Metal Trades assoc1a-
ton, it was said that it was now too
late for arbitration and that employers
all over the country were getting all
the men they wanted. Secretary Dew
ems has received advices from business
centers throughout the country saying
that the strike was breaking up. Al
the Dickson locomotive works in Scran-
ton, the men were returning to work
without concessions. Between 800 and
400 strikers had just returned to work
at Seneca Falls, N. Y. At the works of
the Newburg Ice Machine and Engine
company, Newburg, strikers were ap-
plying for work.

AND THEN He SIGNED.
Topeka Dollar Gas Ordinance
Has q Narrow Escape.

The dollar gas ordinance Is now
law. Mayor Hughes, after a hard strug-
gle with the trust strings which pulled
in the opposite direction. signed the
document, and it has been officially
published. 1t is now the gas company's
move.
The ordinance had a narrow escape.
Mayor Hughes had talk with his
father in-law, Judge Clark, who was
the man who started the gas company
in Topeka After this talk the mayor
was not nearly SO enthusiastic about
dollar gas. He came to the conclusion
that after all the gas company was a
pretty good thing, and never kicked On
the price which the coal com bine sets
on coal and which Mayor Hughes fol-
lows.
But the still, small voice within the
mayors massive bosom told him that
it would be a sad day for him pollti
cally when he allowed the ordinance to
die of neglect. So he signed
The whole question of whether the
gas company has any valid legal
ground for objection depends on what
the gas rates are in other cities of
about the same size of Topeka, situa-
ted in about the same way. The city
ordinance, passed July 16, 1889, says:
said Excelsior Coke and Gas company,
its successors and assigns shall never
charge any of the inhabitants of said
city a greater price for gas than is US
ually charged in a city of a similar size
having like facilities for the nanufac-
ture thereof This ordinance became
effective June 4, 1890
The city believes that it can demon
strate that under this ordinance, Tope-
ka is entitled to dollar gas.
But there will undoubtedly be a hard
fight made Lawyers representing the
gas company will attend the council
meeting and will tell the troubles Of the
company. What the gas people viii do
further than that can not be foretold.

win Be Forced to Make Reports
More Promptly.
Also Expected to Secure City
Burial Permits.

Contrary to the general opinion that
the present hot weather would be re-
spOnsible for a greater number Of
deaths than during the sane period
of time last year. the death rate has
not been SO large
Accurate figures in this connection
cannot be had now for the reason that
in violation OF the city ordinances the
undertakers are not making their re-
ports to the city physician regularly
1t is n fact though that more people
died here during the month ending
July TO- 1900 than for the same month
this year. The only reason that may
be assigned is that sanitary conditions
are better here this year or that hot
weather is healthy.
Sanitary Sergeant G. L. Vanderpool
said this morning that it was impos-
ent the number of deaths I am not
confident he said, that the under
takers have all made their reports OF
burials during the month of May. The
physician shall Immediately report a
case of death, and birth within five
days of the date of birth.
1t also provides that undertakes
shall report every case that comes to
their notice and requires that they Sc
cure a permit from the Office of the
city physician before the body is
buried. I find, however, that during
the last admInistratio to suit the
convenience Of the undertakers, they
were not required to make reports I'M
til the end of the month. They have
since grown very lax and sometimes it
becomes necessary to urge them sew
eral times to get the tardy reports.
There is a penalty for non-eom-
pliance with this ordinance, which
should be enforced 1t is an established
fact that an accurate record of the
births and deaths should be kept and
to do this it is necessary to attend
more strictly to the duty as defined in
the law"

It is understood that negotiations

State Commission Makes Radi-
cal Change in Bill.
Will Be Collected From All but
Direct Heirs.
REQUESTS NOT EXEMPT
Even Money Left to Institutions
Will Be Taxed.
Board Adjourns After Complet-
ing Preliminary Draft.

The state tax commission adjourned
today until July 30. with the prelimi-
nary draft Of the tax bill completed.
AS a final innovation a collateral in
heritance tax was Incorporated in the
bill After the one day session of July
80 the commission will not meet again
until September when the final draft
of the bill will be made.
The inheritance tax feature is en-
tirely new in this state. It has been in
vogue in other states successfully, and
the con mission is determined TO try
it on Kansas. It is proposed to impose
a 8 per cent. tax on the inheritances of
collateral heirs and legatees. Direct
heirs only are exempt The immediate
family relations of son, daughter, hus-
band, wife, father, mother, brother and
sister constitute the heirs that are ex-
empted in the Kansas law. All other
deviSeeS shall have their inher1tances
subjected to the inheritance tax.
County treasurers shall take the tax
out of the estates, the probate judge
furnishing the information upon which
the tax is collected.
Charitable and benevolent fnstftu-
lions to which requests are made are
not exempted. They must pay the tax
to the state the same as distant rela-
tives or other benehciaries-
There is no minimum set on estates,
nor exen ption in this direction. Here
in the Kansas law differs from the
New York law. which exempts estates
under IS. 900 The Kansas tax law
makers figure that small estates go to
direct heirs, hence no inheritance tax
would come out of the Widows or
orphans mites.
The commission also completed the
section relating to the establishment Of
a permanent state tax commission.
1t provides for a commission compos-
ed of two members elected for a term
of four years at each alternate election,
together with the auditor, secretary OF
state and treasurer. The board is to act
as a state board of equalization and its
decision upon assessments is to be fin
al. The two tax commissioners are re-
quired to visit each county in the state
as often as may be necessary to see
that the law is being obeyed and the
assessments being properly made. Once
in two years the county assessors are
required to meet with the state board
to consider tax matters and secure I'M
form assessment of all property at fun
cash values. Power is given the state
board to remove any county assessor,
who is derelict in his duty. and provis-
ion is made for the governor to I'LL the
