Nor a republican paper in
Barton county has dared to at
tempt a defense of their party
when it is charged with having
stolen a state senator in this
district by throwing out the
vote of a democratic township
Cheyenne township. What is
the matter, Bro. Clark, Bro.
O'Bleniss, and Bro. Townsley?
Have you nothing to say about
that rotten deal-no defense of
your party to make? And do
you suppose for a moment that
the democrats and populists
have forgotten that dirty, Shiny,
disreputable trick? O, no! not
on your life.

What Is a Trust?

Chester I. Long, in a speech at
Chanute last week said (and he
is probably saying it in all his
speeches) that: GA trust proper
now is simply big corporation,
not to CONTROL trade, but to
CONTROL the manufacture or pro-
duction of an article - And he
further attempts to leave the
impression with his hearers that
the trust is not such a bad
thing after all-only a sort of a
fad OF the big fellows with which
they are amusing themselves.
Wonder if he would contend
that controlling the manufac-
ture" of an article would not
affect trade in that article? Or
would he would contend that
the coal trust and the rail
road trust, are refusing to let
even the President arbitrate the
differences with the miners in
Pennsylvania, just for the fun
of the thing?
The fact is that Long says
just as little as possible about
the trusts, and puts in most OF
his time speechmaking for the
benefit of Chester [. Long in his
candidacy for Z. S. Senator.

VOTERS, study the matter of
the inequality of taxation in
Kansas. Learn the iniquity,
the unjustness of a system that
makes you pay taxes on 33AA per
cent of the actual value of your
property, and lets the large cor
porations off with paying on less
than 10 per cent of their actual
valuation. If you think it is
right to thus favor the rich fell
low who lives in some other stato
at the expense of yourself and
your neighbor then vote the re-
publican ticket and continue
that system. If you think it
wrong, then ''Do Right and

SOME TAX ARGUMENT.

Mr.. CRADDoCK' fight for lower
taxes in Kansas, through COM
pelling the railroad and other
corporate property whose stock
is owned by non-residents of the
state to pay their proper pro-
portion OF taxes, is making the
republican spell-binders desper-
ate. For instance, Ed. Hoch, in
his speech in Great Bend last
Friday night, when defending
the poor, down trodden rail
roads asserted that Sin Barton
county the railroads paid twice
as much taxes as all personal
property in the county" Those
were his exact words. By refer
ence to the abstract of assess
ments published in the DEMOCRAT
last week you will see the utter
.falseness of the assertion. In
1902 the total of the railroad
assessments in Barton county
is $656,9SO, and the total assess
ment of all other personal pro-
perty is $663,772-or $6, ,792
MORE than the total of all the
railroads.
Besides this, the much greater
per cent of the railroad valua-
ton is in the townships, where
the per cent of levy is low,
while the larger amount of
personal property is in the
towns and cities where the
per cent of levy is high. So
that instead of the railroads
paying double the amount of
taxes that all other personal
property does in Barton county,
they in fact pay but little more
than half as much in round
} dollars. And further, if rail-
road property was assessed as it
should be-and as Craddock
wants it a IS es edit would
pay on valuation of $4,000
mile instead of less than
$4,000 a mile as now assessed.
In that case they would pay on
a total valuation of 81, ,971, 900,
or over three times the valu-
alton they now pay taxes on,
and still be assessed at only 331hs
per cent of their valuation-as
YOUR property is assessed. att
And we defy any republican pa
per or speaker to prove the
statement incorrect. They can
not do it. The records in the
county clerks office will show
the figures we have given.

"To Do Right''

That w. HI. Craddock, fusion
candidate for governor of Kan
sas, is capable of carrying out
his policy of "To Do Right" +" is
amply demonstrated by his rec
ord as mayor Of Kansas City,
Kans.
The assertion is going the
rounds of the republican news
papers that if elected governor
of Kansas, Mr.. Craddock could
not compel the corporations do
ing business within this state to
pay any more taxes than what
they are at present paying.
When Mr.. Craddock demanded
of the republican assessor a fair
return for taxation of the cor
pOratiOn interests in Kansas
City, Kans., and was informed
by the assessor that he could
get no satisfaction out of the
corporations, the mayor took
personal charge of the matter,
and, in case of Armour, Swift,
S. & S, Fowler and Cudahy (the
five great packing houses), who
returned a personal property
tax of $343, ,26O in 1900, after
being interviewed by the mayor,
secured their consent to return
for taxation in 1901 1872, 800.
In 1902 with the assistance OF
Frank HolcOmb, the democratic
county clerk, and the newly
elected board of democratic
county commissioners, (the first
board of democrats ever elected
in the county,, these packing
houses were assessed on their
personal property $f,327,7OO,
an advance ofnearly one million
dollars in two years.
