ISSUES NEXT YEAR
j. MI. Lewis Says They Will
Center i'm New Tax Bill.
Thinks Republicans Will Make
1t Their Idol.
MAY CAUSE DOWNFALL
Says the Measure Can Be Picked
to Pieces.
The Republicans Have Made
MAY CAUSE DOWNFALL
The Republicans Have Made
Fusion Impossible.

In the opinion of J. M. Lewis, editor
of the Kinsley Graphic, one of the lead
ing issues of the state campaign next
year will be The proposed tax revision
bill which has been prepared by the
state tax revision commission.
Mr.. Lewis was private secretary to
Governor Leedy after the resignation of
Colonel E. c. Little to join the Twen-
tieth Kansas volunteers. He is one of
the leading Populist editors of the Sew
enth district. and his opinion goes long
way in Populistic councils. He there
fore speaks with authority when ne
talks of coming issues.
Il have no doubt said Mr.. Lewis in
discussing the proposed tax measure,
that there are many good features
about the bill. But the Republicans are
going to make d little tin god of that
bill and set it up for worship. They
will take 1T around and show it to the
people as an example Of what they pro-
pose to do for them if the Republicans
are reelected TO power.
This will naturally arouse opposition
among the fellows who are opposed to
the Republican party, and the opposi-
ton speakers will criticise the bill and
pick flaws in it. There are probably
plenty of flaws in it, for it is impossible
to frame bill that cannot be picked to
pieces.
--One of the features on which the Re-
pubncanS viii put great stress is the one
providing for tie assessment of all the
cars of foreign railroad companies
found in the state That catches the
outside corporations whom the Repub-
licans don't care if they do offend, and
it doesn't make any difference with the
railroad companies that the Republican
leaders want to stand in with. OF course
these outside fellows ought to be caught
somewhere and it is all right to assess
them, but the idea is that the proposed
bill piles the tax on to the people whom
the Republicans are not afraid of of
Tending. | venture the assertion that
every provision in that bill has been
gone over by the attorneys for the
corporations IN Kansas and has been
passed by them
II told Fred Smith the other day that
If the tax commission wants that bill
passed IN its present shape it had better
try to keep it out of the campaign en-
tirely. Then ii viii come up and its
merits will be discussed in the legisla-
ture without regard to politics, but If
it becomes a party issue, as it is almost
bound to be. the fellows who criticise 1t
can hardly be consistent without MAX
ing a fight against 1t in it's present
form"
Mr.. Lewis says the anti-fusion law
has effectually destroyed fusion be-
tween the Democrats and PopulistS, but
that the Populists will keep up their
party organization and await develop

That is something it is impossible to

BEFORE THE CABINET.
Carnegie's Proposed Gift Comes
Up For Discussion.

Washington. Dec. 1o.-The proposed
gift of SIC, 900, 600 by Mr.. Andrew Car
negie for educational purposes was dis
cussed at today's meeting of the cab
met. 1t was stated after the meeting
that the president had received a COM
munication from Mr.. Carnegie on the
subject of a creation of a fund for the
extension of higher education. 1t is
said that his proposition does not in
volve the establishment of university
buildings, but rather the placing of a,
fund in the hands of government trus-
tees from which the expenses of deseTv-
ing students may be paid in the line of
original investigation at home or
abroad. The proposition, it is under
stood, has not reached a concise form
except in general terms and except as
to the amount. The president will con-
fer with members of congress in re-
gard to the proposed gift before MAX
ing it's terms public.
1t also was stated after the meeting
that George L. Whitehead, at present
collector of customs for Porto Rico, had
been offered the position of appraiser
of merchandise at the port of New
York in place of Wilbur F. Wakeman,
who had been requested to resign.
The Philippine tariff question occu-
pied considerable part of the time of
the meeting and the recent insular de-
cisiOnS of the supreme court We're also
under cOnSidera ton.

There. None, :" Poultry.

In enumerating the many oppor
tunities for certain money making
on the farms OF the Arkansas Val
ley the raising of poultry is seldom
alluded to, and yet this is one OF
the surest industries in the matter
OF returns. Turkeys especially
are easily raised here, and Denver.
Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Cripple
Creek and the various mining
towns afford never failing market
at the. best prices for chickens,
turkeys, ducks, geese and eggs.
The dispatch below, which is
taken from Denver paper, will
give an idea of the importance
which this industry may attain:
The egg industry in the Arkan-
sas Valley has already assumed
enormous proportions, but its pos
sibilities are almost without limit.
From statistics gathered from
Nepesta. Olney. Manzanols and
Fowler it is estimated that S5,4 400
dozen eggs were marketed by the
farmers in the month OF March
alone. This means eggs to the
value Of $4,000 in single month,
or about $zoo, 900 per year. II is
estimated that only 400 hens are
kept to the section Of land, which
is only about one-tenth Of its
capacity.
When the full possibility is
reached the egg Industry alone
will return $1,000, 900 per annum
to the farmers Of the valley. while
the entire poultry industry will
will aggregate -, 900, 900 or S.,
