This Is the important season Of the
year for the reading farmer the far
mer who succeeds in his business. Now
IS the season when tho years business
IS summed up; when the great shows
aud sales of live stock are held; when
farmers Institutes and boards of agri.
culture are in session; when the farm
paper takes the place Of what the ac-
tive farmer has missed getting ln his
younger days at the agricultural col
leges; when eFch farm In the West be-
comes, through his farm paper, an ex.
pertinent station TO him; when the ex-
per ences Of oth,rs are brought to-
gether IN the paper for his profit with.
out expense. Now is the time when
the wide-awake farmer can read and
think, and upon his reading and think
ing will depend his success, The "old
reliable" Kansas Farmer Is full of good
reading and abundant food for
thought, ana we are now able to offer
it to our readers at club rates with

Light and Power company have
agreed upon an engineer who Is TO
come here and examine the plant In
this city, The cost Of this operation
win be considerable, The usual sllp'
ulatlon Is for about 5000 per day,
but Just how long II viii take to
make the examination can not be Nc-
cutcly estimated, If The bill amounts
to less than u thousand dollars II viii
come below the estimates Of those Of
the water and light committee Nt the
time they reported 10 the council af-
ter the meeting In Chicago However
This amount Of money Is not too much
II the city gets an honest and accu-
rate report Everything depends on
the honesty Of this man, His report
might do more TO hinder n purchase,
or even n settlement Of the water
works dinIculty than anything else,
But II he Is such II man rs has the
confidence Of both parties that
he should have, his examination will
go u long way toward solving the rid
die. When Mr.. Ladd Of the commit
tee was In Chicago he looked up the
references Of several experts and as he
stated to the council, based his Judg-
cnts largely ON the recommendations
Of The bond investors, lie said that
his idea was that man they would
trust TO make Investigations for them
In enterprises into which they expect
ed to invest their own money, would
do for the city to trust Ns well rs any
that might be selected, His Judg-
mcnt seems to he sound, However
the best part Of this arrangements !
that If the report Of the expert should
show too high u valuation for the city
to accept In Il purchase, 1t may be re-
fused and the expense will then be
charged up TO the water and light cor

The history of taxation for the sup
pMt of governments Is Iearfully ana
wonderfully made, In the earlier deS'
notisms taXatlon was Il sort Of lndls-
crlminatc levy on property IN any
way II could be gotten, ConllscOlloh
of the property Of political enemies
often was layorite method, the
right to cXtor all that the trAlIlc
would bear was frequently INrmed out
upon payment Of u certain price with
the privilege Of collecting all that
could be collected In excess OF the
amount paid It was a fayoritc plan OF
the Romans, and Is still In vogue In
some Eastern countries, y little Ia
ter In the development of clvil ellllcS
when there was some system about
the leyying Of taxes and an apparent
attempt to make them rest with
something like equality upon all sub
iects, some peculiar and almost laugh
able devices we're invented. In ll0l
land, for instance, In 70 there was
in existance n tax imposed on all pas
scngers travelling In Holland Al an
other time a duty Of two shillings was
levied on each person who entered a
tavern before noon, on those who en-
tered n place Of entertainment, on
marriages and deaths, and on many
other things which to us seem equally
absurd. If u person was buried out
Of the district to which he belonged
the tax was payable twice, In Cuba
and many other in fact In all of the
Spanish colonies the taxes levied on
marriages were so high as to be prac-
tically prohibltye, and this accounts
in principal part for the eXtravagant
percentage Of lllegitimate births In
those places, The people were unable
10 pay the cxorbtant taxes and there
fore lived together under common
law marriage OF cousre we think
that we have everything arranged In
much more just and sensible order,
but these people probably thought
that they were about right too, Is
it not likely that the time win come
