Queer Franks of Students.

Wichita has q new secret society. It
originated ia the Friends university and

It is a very select order and but a few Of
the people of the West Side have been
invited to join in its revelries and ride

able t. endure the tortures of the initia-
tons and these are rather badly bruised.
Who they are or what purpose they have
oreanizcd for cannot be learned as yet,
bur as far as investigated their only work
is II ser q chicken or two from some
oblIging resident and milk some gentle
COW. At least that is all they have
accomplished SO far. The few who have
managed TO get into the order held a
suhilee meeting one night last week At
first they procured from some hidden
source two chickens. These were roasted
snd eaten and the members hunger had
not been appeased. They started out af-
ter more Two moro chickens were added
to the pot and this time they thought
they would have something 70 eat with IT.

Harry Stewart has given a good deal Of
thought TO the matter % taxation and he
is OF the opinion that the burdens Ct gov
eminent are not born equally by the peo-
pie and never VIII be-
Mr.. Stewart told reporter for the
Eagle the other day that IN his investi-
fations Of taxation iu this state he has
found that il was the retail merchant
who had his goods exposed to advantage
IN his place OF business WHO paid more
than his share OF the burdens Of govern
ment His says his property was not
only exposed 70 the view OF everybody.
but It was arranged TO make the hest pos
sible showing and the asssssor got him
for everything he was worth
his idea was that money more than any
other form Of property evaded taxation.
He said on the hrst day al last March
there was something like four million dol
lars on deposit n the banks OF this city
and without making any Investigation he
would Be willing 70 stake his reputation
on the statement that there was not
fifty thousand dollars in this whole coun-
II OF money returned for taxation.
When asked in regard 90 the truthful
Chain said the amount of money returned
in the county for taxation last spring was
ss7. 500. This showed ueari three
thousand dollars less than Mr.. Stewards
guess. The county clerk said the as
sessment laws OF this state were simply
awful and while Kansas was rich state
the assessment showed it 20 &c verginS ca
the brink OF poverty
Harry Stewart says there ought 20 be
change in the taxation q the property %
corporations Of a public character. lie
says the people are interested IN street
railway. packing house and other manu-
featuring establishments and that il is 70
the interest OF the community 20 be fair
with them in the matter OF taxation and
TO see that they bear their just proportion
Of the expenses Of the government
When asked how he would regulate
these big corporations. MI Stewart said
he would amend the assessment Law 50
that all such corporations would not pay
on the cost OF their property but accord
ing 70 its earning capacity because that
showed the true vaiue Of the property.
Taking for instance a packing house Ar.
Stewart said II il was shown that the
plant had cost n million dollars. he would
rot call that the value Of the property,
hut he would base the value on the earn
ings OF the plant II the net earnings
WAS equal to four per cent on only one
hundred thousand dollars he would have
the plant valued az that amount and un-
der our present system OF easements he
would return Sso.ooo for taxation.
He claimed this would not be an income
tax but merely vaiuing property accord
ing 10 its true value which was always
measured by its earning capacity. People
valued railroads and an other corporate
property that way when they went -
buy the stock and that IN his opinion was
the only way 10 get at The true value.

How 70 Pronounce Doc.

Theer is only one way Of spelling the
word dog but there are 800 ways Of pro-
nouncing it according TO Colonel w e.
Hutchinson who has made a study of the
word as it is spoken by all kinds of peo-
pie. he says he pronounces it according
TO the southern style himself which is
.'dawg" but admits that it is not correct
JIe insists however. that it is better
than the Yankee way which is doris.
lie says the best and most proper way is
dog" in a sort of short jerky way. Far
mer DooHttle takes issue with him and
says the word should be pronounced as
if it were spelled ~Daug." Another YER
sion is that the doing pronunciation
Is right officer James Cairns pre-
nounces It 'dogg" and he is held TO be an
expert in everything that concerns the
canine family.

Bad Case of Pine.

Talk about pipe dreams, Wichita man
had one last Tuesday evening. He had
been hitting the real thing, and after he
had smoked his allowance. he deemed
himself a millionaire. He found pack
age of small green blotters, the Kind given
away free by insurance companies, and he
had hallucination that they were green
backs He told his friends that he was
worth $4,000 600 and took them to well
known saloon, where he told the bar
keeper to open up four or I'VE quarts OF
champagne The barkeeper was from
Missouri and wanted to be shown the
money first. The pipe dreamer pulled cut
his ron of green blOtters, slammed them
on the counter and declared that he had
declared that he had money to burn. The
man who had hit the pipe put in the
night telephoning for hacks and had the
jehus almost crazy. 1t was the worst
case of pipe" seen in Wichita for years

from the Spanish settlements on the east

Has : Wonderful Eve.

John Noble says that William Math-
ewson has a more remarkable pair Of
eyes than any man he has ever known.
John is painting picture of the sturdy
pioneer and has tried to photograph his
eyes in vain. The camera cant get them
and Mr.. Noble must get the eyes by per-
sonal study of them Mr.. Mathewson
cot his eyes by inheritance although some
think he got them by the law Of adap-
tation. They are now as bright as a
spark Of lightning, although he is far ad-
vanced in the sixties, and he says he can
draw a bead on a squirrels eye as good
IS he could forty years ago When Mr..
Mathewson was on the plains before civ
l'ization he needed a good field glass to
watch the movements Of the Indians and
bought one in Germany for 1925. 1t was
hrst-class glass. but he discarded it
after using it few times. His naked
eye was more reliable.
