A TEN PER CENT TAX.

1.-The saloon is the poor mans club"
So it has been declared The truth is
that the saloon-the bar room-is
the liquor sellers club with which he
beats out the brains. the heart, the
hope of labor. The saloon keeper is q
hlghwayman on the path of industry,
compelling tribute from every laborer
weak enough to pay.
If the state were to assess each la
borer ten per cent OF his daily earnings
and compel payment every day with
nothing to show In return. such an
outrageous wrong would arouse gen.
eral condemnation and every laborer
would rebel.-Yet liquor thus levies
daily tax upon the laborer. and often to
far greater extent. Every saloon
taxes at least forty working men. on
an average. more than ten per cent of
their earnings, and without the slight
est compromising equivalen IA. A.

Morton Albaugh, Chairman of the

Treasurer Kelley ia his paper, the
Kingman Leader Courier of September

This criticism Is emphasized by rea-
sou of the fact that Mr.. Kelley has de-
Aiberately arranged TO raise $500 900
more for the coming year than IS nee.
essary to defray the states expenses
for the reason that he will have that
additional amount to keep in the To-
peka banks and 1t will increase his
revenue from such source to the eX-
tent Of about $40 900 more.
There is no fight upon Mr.. Kelly,
out the criticism comes from his max
ang private snap out of his office to
<he extent Of over $4,000 annually
that ought to 60 the taxpayers of the
state. His salary. as provided by law,
is So. 500 per year. but the interest he
receives in state funds in direct vio-
Ration of law. makes it six or seven
times that amount.

who was very deaf was also very anx-

books into the church, and asked his
precentor to give out the notice imme-

or, having a notice Of his own, gave
out that members of the congregation
wishing to have their children baptized
were to send their names into the
vestry. The old minister. thinking
that it was the notice about the hymn
books, stood up and said: And I

WHAT coWLEY PAYS FOR LELANDIsM.

Last year, says Ed Greer ia his
Winfield Courier, Cowley county paid
TO the state as state tax the sum OF
S35 1885,. This year the state requires
CowIey county to pay in state tax the
sum OF $45, $50. The difference between
these two sums is $40 ,293. and it rep
resents the cost to the people of Cowley
county of grvernor-controlled,
LelandiZed legislature.
I'VE had" continues the Courier.
"some pointed remarks last winter
about the horde OF useless legislative
employes-the creation OF the uuheard
of Office of superintendent Of ventilation
with q score of assistants-the assistant
sergeants alarms tramping ali over
each others toes and almost crowding
the members off of the floor Of the
house; the do0rkeepers aud assistant
doorkeepers crowding the stairway and
corridors; and on payday the whole army
moving on the treasury wildly wav-
ing pay warrants above their heads and
each struggling to get to the pay win
dow first. We pointed out thas it
would all come back to the people after
awhile. That time has cow arrived.
In November the people of Cowley
county will crowd &c the county
treasurer's Office madly waving good
g.eenbackS oyer their heads and each
struggling to be first to Pay i'll his share
of the salaries OF these useless superin-
tendents of ventilation and their graft
ing assistants.
The next stage of these proceedings
will come next year. when the Repub
leans of Cowiey county meet in con-
ventIon to elect delegates to the state
convention where the men who Own
the legislature will be- asking for a
denomination.
1T isn't hard for the Courier to
predict what the republicans of COwiey
county will d" to Mr.. Leland, his
governor and his Legislature
The above from the Winfield Courier,
has been clipped by many papers of
different political faiths, in the state.
The Courier is published by the we'll
known republican war HORSE" Ed
Geer. He has been a republican all his
life and has never prea ched any other
kind of doctrine. We make this expla.
nation in order to show that the charges
against the gang that are running
things in Kansas do not come from
Democrats and Popullsts but directly
from republicans high up In the coun-
ellis OF the party.
What Mr.. Greer says concerning
Cowley county will apply with equal
force to this county. While the
amounts are not so great, on account
of our not hayiag SO much taxable
property and less taxpayers, the same
proportion obtains and the burden IS
just as heavy on the individual taxpay-
ers. Barber county taxpayers Will be
reminded that, besides helping to pay
for the superintendent of ventila-
tion," they are also called upon to con-
tribute 10 the "S125 attorneys fees"
appropriated to attend our representa-.
tive.
