Terrible Crime Comnitte by Tramps
at Steinauer, Neb.

Mrs. Kate Fournell, living near Stein
auer, Neb., was found dead in the yard
adjacent to her residence. The clothing
had been burned from her body. Mrs.
FournelPs mother and brother who lived
with her, went to town in the morning
and discovered the body on their return.
The house was locked, with the exception
of one door. The lock on this door had
been broken. 1t is supposed that Mrs.
Fournel was alone in the house, and that
tramps had broken in, murdered her, and
then set fire to the body.

cRADDock's STATEMENTS.

A Pop paper in Kansas keeps standing
at the head of its editorial columns the
statement that Candidate Craddock has
@sproved" his contention with respect to
the taxation of corporations-the proof
consisting of the statement by Candidate
Craddock that the railroads of Kansas
are capitalized at $500, 900 600; that they
pay taxes on only $50, 200, 900 of valua-
ton, and that, therefore, their taxes are
far less in proportion than the taxes of
other classes OF property.
In the first place, the railroads of Kan
sas are not capitalized at 5000, OoO. 900
or in any amount anywhere near that
sum. Candidate Craddock has made
that kind OF valuation in his mind, but
1t is not true one. However, it doesn' t
make particle of difference what the
capitalization of the Kansas railroads
may be. That which Craddock calls
capitalization is, for the most part,
debts owed by the railroads in form of
bonds and other securities. The system
of Kansas is to tax the property a man
owns, not the debts he owes or the prom
issory notes he may have in circulation.
The paper from which we have
quoted has articles of Incorporation filed
with the secretary of state, showing that
1t is capitalized at SO, 900. Yet the tax
rolls of its county show that it pays taxes
on only $4S2 worth of property. If we
should apply the Craddock rule to this
paper, we should find that it paid
far less taxes in proportion to capitaliza-
1ion than any railroad company. Not
long since a company of PopHlIsts
headed by late Popullst candidate fol
governor, capitalized a banking trust
company at 1922, 900. Still, this banking

trust company does not pay one cent of
taxes. A search of the secretary of
states records will reveal Kansas com
panfes capitalized at more than billion
of dollars. yet it is doubtful if all the
property of these companies assessed for
taxation would foot up $2O. 200, 000- The
point is that Kansas does not consider the
paper capitalization of any company IN
determining what it should be assessed
for taxation. The system of Kansas is
to tax visible and tangible property. If
Craddock can show that railroad prop
erty is not taxed in proportion to other
property, he has case But the fact.
known to every intelligent citizen of
Kansas, is that the railroads are assessed
higher in proportion to true values than

It is said that Senator Harris is out
with statement that American made
goods sell cheaper in foreign countries
than at home and that he is using this as
an argument for free trade. From recent
information it is learned that the Deer
ing binder sells in Australia for S158.24
to $1S2.59 and the same machines are
sold in Illinois for $40 to 1925. The
Mccormick binder sells in Australia for
$165.45 and $194.S0 In this country the
Mccormick sells for S12O. An Iowan
who toured Europe says: ga seIf-binder
that retails for 1925 in Iowa retails for
1925 in Austria. A sewing machine that
retaiIs for $50 in DesMoines retails for
500 in Brussels. And if the United
States Steel Corporation sells rails cheap
er in Europe than in America, how
comes it that 1000 tons of English made
steel rails were imported into this coun-
try last month?
