Raised Valuation.

The State Board OF EQualiza alton have
added an additional burden for an al
ready over taxed people to carry. Farm
and personal property valuations were
raised over S24 900 900 while railroad
and corporate property were raised
only 81, 900 900. The raise In valuations
In Barber cou2ty amount to % per cent.
This, added to our already high levy,
will be felt. The State Board say that
the raise In valuations was made nee.
essary on account of the outrageous
expense contracted by the late lament
ed legislature. No explanation Is made
of the immense raise on the farmers
and home owners and so little on cor.
porate property.
Verify. the people Of Kansas are pay
ing dearly for that immense majority
they gave the republican machine last
fall.

Valley township road dled their report
with the county clerk on Saturday.
They recommend the establishment OF
both roads as prayed for in the petition,

Mr.. Marshall's damage at $500 and j.
NJ. Halls at $lOO. The other parties
whom the road affects have granted
free right Of way. The report, We
understand, 10 very satisfactory to the
friends Of the road, but Messrs. Hall
and Marshall are not 90 we'll pleased.
They asked for $3.50 and $1,000 respec.
lively. The matter is now up to the
county commissioners and will be

unreasonable technically they hope to
beat US out of 1t and collect back
double the amount. About $40 they
want paid back doubly for publishing
commissioners proceeding In Novem-
Der when the canvassing Board met.
They claim this was not commissioners
proceeding and although we were told
to publish the proceedings By the COM
miSsioners, we should not have been
paid for 1t and now must pay back
double the amount. Tha remaining
portion Of what they claim to have
been paid illegally they claim was over
charge. They draw this conclusion by
reason Of new system Of measurement
invented for the occasion. They claim
that we should have set the matter
differently from what it was evet done
In the county before and differently
than other reading matter. They ad-
NIT that the space was consumed but
they claim that We should have set 1t
In an unreadable way and thus used less
space, but that is only a small item.
They rely principally on the tax list
contention, which to say the least. Is
the height Of injustice.
In justice to the county attorney we
desire to say that he told Us at the time
he brought the suit that he did 1t against
his wishes but that he was pushed into
1t by parties closely connected with
what is known in Barber county as the
"push." He stated that 1t was far
from q matter of justice but that he
had to do IL or lose the support Of his
party organ. Recently. however. even
he has had a change Of heart and he
now thinks 1t Is the proper thing to do.
The Index has always been harassed
by this gang. The very contention
they are now setting up against US in
this suit are customs which they have
themselves been following, all Of which
shows how desperate they have become
In their effort to put this paper out OF
business.
We would rather not have to use sc
much space in fighting this suit. but 90
long az the "Organ" and the gang keep
at it, these columns will be used to
convey the facts TO the public. We
like to submit these questions to the
public anyway and We only wish thai
We could submit the present trouble tC
a vote as we did in the fall of 1901.

Writ Denied.

On Monday Samuel Griffin, attorney
for s. D. Graham. applied to Probate
Judge Gleason for q writ Of habeas
corpus to release Mary Graham from
Jail. who is held on charge, sworn to
by the county attorney. OF assisting
John Tyree to escape trial and punish
ment. After several hours were con.
sumed in presenting the law Judge
Gleason denied the writ on the ground
that the girl had waived preliminary
examination. At the time Of her az
rest, the girl, through Ed. Sample
who represented her, waived prellm.
mary examination without the
knowledge of her father and he sought
to ge: possession of her under q writ
Of habeas corpus. The girl is minor
and has no guardian other than her
parents.
This Is the girl who is held In custody
to testify against John Tyree In
October on a charge of rape. She was
at first committed illegally as a witness
and subsequently released on a writ of
habeas corpus. Bsfore she was releas-
ed, however, she was arrested on q
charge of felony a trumped up charge
by the way. and on account of her
tender years and ignorance in waving
preliminary examination, 1t seems that
she can not be released.
It was demonstrated at this trial
that Ed Sample has lost none Of his
old. time cunning. He took charge
of the case personally. in the absence
of A. l.. Noble, and resisted the writ.
