strong argument for the substi.
tuition of some other method OF
assessment than that adopted by
the Republicans of Kansas. The
plank is as follows: I'm the in.

a state administration and for a
legislature free from railroad
domination. The proposed Re
publican tax law which will be
adopted if the next legislature is
Republican, leaves, by command
of the railroads, the valuation oil

of a subservient state admins

the fact, in this connection, that
in Democratic Missouri the Bur.

in Repub lican Kansas it pays
taxes on a valuation of 81, 900 pei
