viii Tax Franchises.

The Missouri Legislature on last
Thursday passed the Senate bill
taxing franchises, added an ener-
gency clause making the law effcc-
tive as soon as the Governor ap-
pends his signature to the measure.
The tenor of the law is that fran
chises of all railroad, street rail
road, bridge, telegraph, telephone,
conduit, water, electric light and
gas companies, and of all similar
corporations, owning, operating
and managing public utilities. and
of all quasi-pub1ic corporations
possessing special and peculiar
privileges, shall be assessed and
taxed the same as any other prop
erty.
In passing the bill the Democrat
ic party of Missouri has at last re-
deemed one of its platform pledges,
the only one, it might be said, il
has made any effort to redeem.
What is most notable about the en-
actmcnt of this law is that the
credit of it really belongs to the
Republican members of the House,
for the Democratic vote on the bill
lacked three of constitutional ma.
jority. The bill passed the House
by a vote of 112 to %, forty-foul
Republicans and sixty-eight Dem
ocrats voting in the affirmative
Nineteen Democrats and only three
licpnblicans voted against the bill
was passed. Thus it will b,
s that larger proportion OF Re
leans than Democrats fayoret
alise taxation.

The two men. 1t is said. became in

Tenth Street northwest. during which. as
Jayle alleges, Chase drew a razor upon

Jayle that he seized a heavy axe lying
nearby and dealt his opponent a blow
across his head, the blade of the weapon
entering the negro's scalp for several
inches. Chase fell to the ground with the
blood pouring profusely from his wound.
while Jayle ran hastily out of the alley
in the direction of the street
Policeman Waldron was informed of the
affair by citizen and ran at once to the
scene. where he found the negro lying

HEAT RUNNING CORN CROPS.
Serious Economic Complications
May Ensue if No Rain Falls.
The Kansas Product Blightcd and
Doomed to Failure Unless I'm
mediate Moisture Saves Stunted
Growtbs-Tcmpcratu Up to los.

The Weather Bureau will today Issue
a special bulletin upon the condition of
crops in the West particularly Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri, as affected by
the hot wave and drought. The lack of
rain has caused great damage in the vast
corn h,lt within these three States. and
indications are that the product will not
only be much shorter this year than it
was last. but that in some sections it
will be almost an entire loss unless there
falls drenching rain with few days.
There are some counties in Kansas
where, it is reported. the corn has been
so sfunted that even a heavy rain now
will not bring sufficient relief to produce
an ordinary crop. There have been. ac-
cording to the records of the Weather
Bureau, no heavy rains in the Sunilower
State since April. In the eastern section
and along the western portion of Mis-
souri, there were light showers on July l
and July 5, but these did not suffice to do
the crops much good
According to the reports at the Bureau
the hot winds have done more to injure
the corn than the drought. Corn will en-
dure without serious injury considera-
bic dry season, but the torrid winds
breathe a withering blast upon the chief
product of Kansas. Since June 20 these
hot winds have prevailed, and there has
been practically no break in the warm
weather in that section. This has been
the cause of the damage now reported.
The thermometer registered 102 yester-
day at Kansas City. and an evidence of
the overheated condition of the atmos-
phere is shown by the fact that at 8
o'clock last night the mercury there had
dropped only to 9S. but four degrees from
the maximum during the afternoon.

that these showers will bring temporary
relief
