WANT 1T LEFT ALONE.
congressman Ask Legislators to No
NEEDLE With Reapportionment


There will be no congressional re-
apportionment bill passed by the legis-
lature this winter because the congress
sional delegation from Kansas in Wash
fngton is opposed to it.
After it was learned that Kansas
would be allowed the same number of
congressman which it now has, the
members in Washington began tele-
graphing to the members of the state
legislature asking them to oppose any
bill presented for reapportionment
They held a meeting after the defeat
of the Hopkins bill in the national
house and looked over the matter. 1t
was evident to them that if any action
was taken by the state legislature in the
matter it would hurt some member, and
each member was evidently afraid that
the injured member would be himself.
Charles Scott and Mr.. Bowersock
would be sure to be placed in the same
district, and that would never do from
their view point. If the First district
was changed Shawnee county would go
back in the Fourth district and that
would mean a fight between J. NJ. Miller
and Charles Curtis. If the big Seventh
was changed some of the strong Repub-
lican counties in the east end would be
taken away, and that would mean that
Chester I. Long could not be reelected.
Taking it altogether it would be impos-
sib1e to so redistrict the state that some
one now in congress would not suffer,
and that is the sole reason it will not be
done

Mr. Justice Bradley in the Mormon
church case, that In legislating for the
territories, congress would doubtless be
subject to those fundamental Limitations
in favor of personal rights which are
formulated in the constitution and its
amendments but these limitations
general spirit Of the constitution than
by any express and direct application of
its provisions
Taking UP the question of taxes, the
attorney, general contended that the con-
stitution does not provide for absolute
uniformity of~duties under all circum-
stances and that the uniformity clause
of the constitution refers to the states
and not to the territories. In support Of
this latter point, he said:
THE states. by the compact of sub
mission to the government organized
under the constitution were to stand on
a perfect equality with each other. The
congress was forbidden to exercise any
discrimination between the states or
their several ports.
AS to the territories no such COM
pact was made. The full power Of tax
alton was conferred on congress along
with the power to govern them. and in
the exercise of the power congress- Dos
sesses unrestricted discretion both as to
the subjects of taxation and the places
where it shall be levied and those where
it shall not be levied.
s.As between the different territories,
there is no compact in favor of uniform
ity. Such uniformity is not essential
for the protection of the states as be-
tween each other because the territories
are the common property of all of the
states and whatever is done as to terri
to1ial taxation is done by the authority
of the states and for their equal benefit.
Congress ought to possess, and we
contend does possess the power to vary
it's system OF taxation according to the
location, conditions and circumstances
of the different territories.

Youngstown. o., March 2o.-The
furnacemen Of the valley, who organ
lied after the reduction of 10 per
cent in their wages, which took place
about a. month ago. announced that
they would go on strike unless the
manufacturers agreed to put back
the amount taken off their wages.
Since that time the price of pig iron
increased So or more, and up to Mon
day there was no apparent sign of a
corresponding increase in wages. The
furnacemen were organized and a
strike may throw out every furnace
in the valley. A mass meeting may
be held on Friday night and may

PART OWNER ~ ZINC MINE.

Mansfld, O., March 2o.-Attorney
Homer p. Sewell has on exhibition
at his office one Of the finest speci-
mems of lead ore, weighing over 200
pounds, ever produced in the Missouri
lead and zinc district. The speci-
men comes from a new territory near
Upton, in Moniteau county.
Associated with Mr.. Sewell in the
ownership of this property are ex-
Senator r NJ. Marriott, Of Delaware;
Monroe Hartman, Of the Bissman
Wholesale Grocery company, and w.
S. Cappeller. Mr.. Sewell, while at
Joplin about year ago learned that
a farmer, while digging well at 30
feet, had found what he supposed was
some kind of ore.
Mr.. Sewell went to see the farmer
and after an interview Of day or
two with the owner of the we'll 1t re-
suited in Mr.. Sewell obtaining an OPP
ton on the farm Of 240 acres for a
year All last summer and this win
ter work has progressed, proving up
the ground quietly, which is done by
putting down a number of fourinch
drill holes and keeping log of the
borings The option for the purchase
of the land expired March 1, at which
time the parties paid their money
and took their deed, which, mean
while, had been held by a Upton
bank in escrow.
Mining experts from Joplin and
Webb City who have seen this Won
derfui development say that 1t prom
ises to make the four Ohio owners
multi-millionaires The postmaster
at Upton in a recent letter to Mr..
I SeweH. SAYS: sTo tell the truth
about the extent Of this rich vein of
ore would not be believed, and the
Arabian Nights is tame little book
compared with the tale of this mine.
With two miners in the ground
working by hand and a simple horse
power lift, they are taking out over
$500 worth of metal every day, while
a conservative estimate made by S.
f. Clark. mayor Of Webb City lead
and zinc mining expert, who has
made an examination Of the property,
says with steam power and proper
hosting apparatus the mine could be
made to produce $1,000 worth of ore
a day. The lead ore as assayed by
the state assayer is pronounced as
running from 6S to 70 per cent pure.
while the zinc ore is equally rich
A party of local capitalists are ne
gotiating for the mine and 40 acres
of the land, the purpose believed to
| be to operate the mine and to locate
shafts at the points heretofore drilled,
also to subdiyide into mining lots 400
feet square and let in miners to OPP
crate on royalties which range from
20 to 80 per cent of velvet to the
owners of the land A Philadelphia
syndicate is also after a 20-acre tract
adjoining the 40 acres referred to, if
the price can be agreed upon.

Judge So Decided as to Turner In
Suit Against Salt Trust.

Cleveland. March 20.-Judge Ford
rendered a decision in the contempt
proceedings against Elmer Turner,
former secretary and manager of the

Turner could not be compelled to an

suit brought by the Omaha Packing
company against the United Salt COM
pany, otherwise known as the salt
trust, in which the packing company
sought to recover damages for the
non-delivery of salt at certain con
tract prices
Turner, while on the witness stand,
was asked to name the officers and
directors of the salt company. This
he refused to do and was ordered
committed to jail for contempt. Sub
sequently he was released ON habeas
