The state tax commission held its
final session in Topeka Monday and
Tuesday and fixed up their hi.l for
the legislature. It is stated that there
will be vigorous fight on the meas
ure and that it will have to be
changed very materially before be-
coming n law. 1t is a little tough on
tho commission to have this bill made
an issue in the legislature after hay
ing it for an issue in the campaign
and losing several republican mem
bers on account of it. The next time

it is safe to say that they will hold it

the need OF 80 thoroughgoing re-
form
There is another remedy near at
hand, which can be applied whenever
congress chooses TO act. The demo-
cratic national platform of 1900
pointed it out in this plank:
I'VE favor such an enlargement of
the scope of the Interstate Commerce
law as will enable the Commission to
protect individuals and communities
from DETERMINATIONS and the public
from unjust and unfair transportation
rates.
So did the republican national plat
form of the same year point-to the
Immediate remedy when it condemned
couspiracies in restraint of trade and
said:
"We favor such legislation as will
eGecsually restrain and prevent all
such abuses, protect and promote
competition and SECURE the rights of
producers, laborers and all who are
engaged in industry aad commerce. !"
The democrats, being out OF Office,
have had no power to carry their
platform into effect.
But the republicans, in possession
OF congress and the presidency, have
had full power to act.
What have the republicans done?
Nothing.
They have refused to strengthen the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission so that that body might

President Plass OF Washburn Col
lege is the latest Topeka preacher to
break into print. He is out with a
ukase telling Wasnburn students that
henceforth and forever, dancing and
card playing are under ban at that
institution. No doubt the Washburn
student could employ his time more
probably than in dancing and card
playing. That will be conceded, but
the reasons assigned for this order
are what make it ridiculous. Wash
burn ia Christian institution, MIR.
Plass declares, and dancing and card
playing are not consistent with Chrit-
ian teachings. President Plass has
missed his calling. Instead of being
at the head Of great institution
where broad ideas Of life are taught,
he ought to be an evangelist. He
could ignore great evils, then and
thunder against the little sins with
impunity. People don't expect any
thing better than that from an evan
ECsioo OhV ebCy uO CApV'CU oOhct1luS
better from man who occupies MIR.
Plass' position. Card playing and
dancing certainly ought to be dis
couraged at Washburn not because
they are wrong: not because they are
Inconsistent with Christian teachings:
but because they are waste of time
aud energy. We have noted every
little while in the papers this year
items about the friction existing be-
tween students and faculty at Wash
burn. The reason for that friction is
evident enough now. The institution
is afflicted with little man at it's
head. The students have taken his
measure and they do not luke kindly
to him or his puritanical ideas. We
don't blame them.-Kansas Demo-
crat.

A Railway Franchise.

During the recent election Mr..
CraddocK, the fusion candidate for
governor, was ridiculed by the re-
publican press because he said if
elected he would increase the railroad
taxation in the state, and his record
in connection with the Metropolitan
street railway was held up to scorn.
Last week ss mayor OF Kansas
City, kans., he succeeded in getting
all he went after out of the Metropol-
itan when the franchise was renew
ed. Hero ere some OF the principal
features:
An annual payment 10 the city of 8
per cent. of the gross earnings, the
company guaranteeing not less than
$50, 600 II year. taxes on the railroad
property to be deducted.
The gift to the city of a park of 100
acres by the company.
A reduction of the price of electric
lights to $50 a year, an annual saw
ing on the present number of lights
of $40, 633
The filing Of the Sixth street tun-
mel and running cars on MINES Ota
avenue to Fifth street and north to
Washington avenue.
Universal transfers.
Use OF the conpany's tracks by in
ter-urban lines.
Paving between the tracks and IL
inches outside.
OF course MIR. Craddock did not do
all this without powerful struggle
with the officials Of this powerful and
insolent corporation. but he is a
man who does not make promi ses
which he canLot fulfil. The example
of what he has done is not only a
great thing for Kansas City, but it
will be of far-reaching influence with
other citiee in dealing with franchies

on the stump taking telescope view
of the trusts and putting remedial ac-
tion out into stellar space.
Government ownership of the rail-
roads ia a good thing to discuss. And
there is 20 objection to presidential
speculation on what amendment of
the constitution might do for us. But
the immediate want is that congress
will use the weapons already at hand
to bring the railroads and their part

Astronomy Party.

In response to some very artistic
Invitations which read "Mrs. l.. W.
Higgins-at home to the Woman's
Club, !" the club and few other guests
gathered a. tie pretty home of Mrs.
Higgins last Friday evening. Some
of the quotations were the choicest
bits of poetry concerning star-love.
An original poem was rccited by Mrs.
Bostwick which deserves a place in
the collection of Kansas poetry:
Of wonderful state that is b,und to go
To the highest point of he nrmsment
Regardless OF q stsces blocking ITS way
Az Il pushes upward day ty day
On its stsr-bouud mission nont

Ad astra per sspera. We've taken our tight
For the nppermosl region of glory and light J
And nothing shall keep Us from il.
Wen soar aioft = magnificent STATE
Unit We accomplish something great
Or perchance telescope with comet.
Mrs. Higgins gave an interesting
paper on tho consultations and the
fables and myths from which they
were given their names. showing that
people overworked their imaginations
in olden days as we'll as now. for it is
hard to find resemblances to the OBJ
iects supposed by the ancients to be
plainly seen in the zodiac. II was all
very interesting showing that astron-
Omy must have had common source,
because the signs of the zodiac and
the names of the considerations are
similar among many peoples. We
have the science from Greece, who
had it from Egypt, who had 1t from
where? After the paper, the ladies
spent short time in the yard finding
the consultations. 1t WAS generally
agreed that Mesdames Dyer and
Smith exhibited more misinformation
about astronomy in given time than
any one else and they were silently
awarded the prizes.
This party was very enjoyable,
although somewhat quiet for club
affair. A very elaborate supper was
served about IL o'clock, after which
Mrs. Higgins collection of photo
graphs, gathered in eastern and west
ern trips, was enjoyed.

would be the slaves of none.
Government ownership OF railroads,
which are the nations highways,
would destroy many trusts besides the
one which monopolizes anthracite

conclusion. Of the Interstate Commerce

no one thing today which does SO
