The Compromise Tax Law.

The new Kansas law changes
the manner in which counties
will pay the state taxes. Hither-
to the county had to pay the full
proportion of the state tax, even
for property on which it accept
ed a compromise with delin-
quents. Now the county will
settle with the state on the same
basis as it settles with the tax
payer.
This is equitable, but it is go
ing to cost the state a large sum
of money, because the law is
made retroactive. 1t. could not
seriously affect the annual
amount that the. state would re-
ceive in taxes, but the accumula-
ton of money for many years
past which the state has received
over and above the proportion of
taxes, where compromises were
effective, will amount to a large
sum. Auditor Cole believes it
will run up to half a million dol
lars. To pay this out, without
any appropriation. made for it,
will seriously embarrass the
state treasury.
The counties will probably
claim credit for the amount due
to them under the new law and
will also deduct the proportion
which they fail to get from delin-
quent taxpayers this year. The
prospect causes CONSERVATION
among the state off Gals, and it
is di fficult to see way out of the

Jas. MCGEE, one of Fowler's venerable
citizens was pleasant caller al the burg the
last of the week.
Mrs. Best who died last week was buried
i'll Fowler cemetery.
w. P. Bunyan and Bert Walters were in
the city Tuesday.
A number of the Fowler young people at
tended party at Mr.. John Cranes Tuesday
night. They report fine time and are glad
they attended.
Rumor has it that young man got his arm
thrown out of place not long since but no
physician was necessary.
Sam Turner was absent from the city last
Sunday night until an early hour.
The stir in the city has been limited the
past week on account of so many people at
tending court at Meade.
Messrs. Fred Nett, Arson Randolph, and
Henry Burford took their departure for Sc
dalia, Mo-, where they expect to go 10 school
and learn telegraphy. Crackerjack along
with their many friends wish them success.
Chas. Otto seems to be working his way to
the front at the yarnspinning stump, and if he
continues TO improve, Rountree will have to
hide, and as for John Sims he is already scar
ed out. He only ventures down town after
night and gets his mail and slips back.
Since the departure of some young men
there are certain young ladies of the city who
seem very much lost and forlorn.
The section crew begin work here the mid
die of the week.
Mrs Nett and Mrs. Matte Frazier visited

A cold wave and light snow has visited
