This is a sensible proposition, and viii

MAKING THE RICH pay TAXES.


Chicago every year has a fight to get
its rich men to pay their due proper
ton Of the taxes. There is not a large
city in the country where the assess
ment books are not a scandaIous out
rage on truth and justice Rich men
wonder how there can be so much pow
erty in world that is so new and that
teens with such an abundance of
wealth. Yet each year, it seems, in in
ereasing proportion, the expenses of
government fall upon those modestly
disposed in this worlds goods, while
men who count their wealth in millions
let gold hush their consciences when
they make personal property returns.
It is a problem that other cities be-
sides Chicago should tackle. 1t is one
that the rich themselves should be
first in attempting to solve. And this
as much on their own account as for
the country's, for the question must be
met. Human nature has not changed.
It is only longer suffering, but when
patience is disrupted it will be well for
Dives to remember that the man who
shirks his just share of the burden of
government expense generally is &C
counted little short Of a traitor.

PEOPLES PARTY TICKET.
For County Commissioner, Third District,
FRED RUST.
FRED Rusr ZOE COMMIssIoNER.

The nomination of Fred Rust, Of
Grant township, for commissioner of
the Third district was a good selection.
Mr.. Rust is well spoken of by all his
neighbors, and no one can say a word
against him as a good neighbor and
citizen He is a successful farmer and
stockraiser, hustler in his own af-
fairs, and a good business man. His
sterling honesty is admitted by all. If
the farmers of the district wish to
have their interests represented on
the county board by one of their own
number they should support Mr.. Rust
irrespective of party considerations.
They will honor themselves by giving
him their support. Mr.. Rust is as
big hearted as he is broad-shouldered,
and, he is also a Ievel-headed man and
above reproach as a citizen.

ResuIt OF ..Grafters, ReIiet 81 .


The Kansas state treasury has ''gOne
broke" From now till January 1 all
warrants viii be stamped ''not paid for
want Of funds" They viii be paid at
the state treasurer's window, however,
with money furnished by the five banks
Of Topeka. The warrants then viii be
turned over to the banks, which viii
hold them until the state redeems
them. The warrants will draw seven
per cent interest.
1t is estimated that the deficit by the
first of the new year will reach $780,
OO0 Then the state taxes viii come in,
and for a few months the general rev.
enue fund viii be flush. But the pay
ment Of the outstanding warrants viii
make such a hole in the fund that it
viii be drained again by April 1, just
about the time the republicans viii be
getting ready to hold their state con
vention. The next deficit will be in
the neighborhood Of 100000, to be ex-
planned in the campaign next fall. A
third deficit will come shortly after
the election, which will run the total
up to nearly half million dollars.
The embarrassment which confrOnts
the Stanley administration at present
was caused by the extravaganza Of the
last legislature. About 40 high-priced
new offices were created, besides a lot
small ones. Every institution in the
state was given an increased appro-
priatiOn. All the CRAFTS introduced by
republican politicians were worked
through, including the payment Of 500
! 900 In QuantreIl raid bonds" which
had been repudiated by every Iegisla-
ture for 80 years. The Quantrel
raid paper" was purchased for two
cents on the dollar by half a dozen
| statesmen who had no difficulty in Sc
curing the necessary appropriation.
! There is scarcely a republican Of note
in the state whose name does not ap-
| pear in the miscellaneous apprOpria-
ton bill. This measure was known
during the session as the ''grafters' re-
lief bill"
When the managers of the legislature
found that they had appropriated
nearly 100000 they were badly fright
ened. After several conferences it was
decided that it would be better to have
a deficiency for the next legislature to
wrestle with than to increase the rate
Of taxation necessary to raise the full
amount of the appropriation. The leg
islature, therefore, made a tax levy
with the full knowledge that it would
not bring in enough money to save the
state the embarrassment of a depleted
| treasury. Topeka Advocate.

The attempt of the naval depart
ment to besmirch Schley and rob him
Of well earned honors; to accuse him
Of cowardise and disobedienee of ord
ers viii be the historic disgrace of the
century. It viii go down in history as
one Of the worst pieces of shameless
and corrupt partisanship ever chroni-
cled in the book Of time. Although
as yet, only the departments witnesses
have been examined everything has
been favorable to Schley. The disob-
edience Of orders is a bugaboo, for it is
conceded that a naval commander has
some latitude for discretion; and the
evidence shows that he was not put in
possession OF the facts as to the where
ebouts Of the Spanish squadron
