NO INCOME TAX FOR KANSAS.
wageener and Smith Discover That a Tax
That Would Hold Water Would
Yield Little Revenue.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. e.-Waggener,
of Atchison, has given up his fight
for an income tax provision in the
new tax bill. He and Senator Smith
spent about four hours yesterday
looking up laws and authorities and
discovered that an income tax law
that would probably hold water
would net little revenue. Real es-
tate revenues could not be taxed, be-
cause real estate pays a tax, and that
would be double taxation. Railroad
stocks and bonds could not be taxed
because the state taxes the railroads.
And so on down the line. The only
thing that could be taxed would be
the incomes of professional men.
Waggener and Smith are both pro-
fessional men and they would not
burden themselves with an income
tax measure.
The Waggener amendment to eN-
empt mortgages and notes from tax
alton will be rescinded. Mortgages
and notes will be taxed. Mortgages
will be defined as real estate and
taxed in the county where the real
estate upon which they are given
lies. A provision will be inserted
that the courts shall not issue de-
cree of foreclosure on any mortgage
until it is shown that the taxes on
the mortgage have been paid.

The Grown-up Boy got off his car
at State street and went into the big
shop which was making a run on
kitchen utensils.
The place was already crowded.
At every counter dozens of women
were pulling over the bargains, while
behind them saleswomen, in their
black uniforms, pounded on the glass
tops with their pencils and cried:
Cash girl, cash girl" in shrill, nasal
voices.
Men carrying big bundles and
women without any ran into him and
hurried away when he stopped to
apologize.
Finally the Grown-up Boy took
courage of his necessities and caught
by the sleeve a young man who was

had seen the Perkins boy buying a
lace and turtle dove CONNECTION, and
had led the gang" in calling the
Perkins boy 'Softy" in a most Of
fensive and insulting manner. But
now the world had changed for him.
He was a "softy" himself, and he
felt that nothing but the biggest val
entine of all, marked at the enor-
nous figure of IS cents, would fifty
express the depth and fervor of his
affections.
He carried in the kindling for four
weeks at ten cents a week; he gath
cred and sold II cents worth of old
iron and nine cents worth of bot
ties; he sacrificed his "slingshot" for
a nickel to the Perkins boy; and.
finally, at the last minute, his fond
grandmother gave him the dime
needed to make up the necessary
amount.
Never, before or since, has the
Grown-up Boy had SO proud mo-
ment as when the coveted master
piece Of valentines became his prop
erty. He was puzzled for time as
to how it should be sent. But he
was too much ashamed to ask advice.
At first it seemed almost necessary
that it should be accompanied by
some original poetry. This was
tried, but given up in despair. Final
ly it was decided to send it without
any marks to identify the sender.
It was certain, as he looked at it,
that Laura would know at once that
it came from him. Besides, if the
gang" ever found it out they would
make life miserable for him. So he
went SO far as to carefully disguise
his hand in writing the address, and
he slipped out in the dusk after sup
per to drop it into the ST Ill box.
He went to school next morning

upon bank of pink clouds, spotted

The Grown-up Boy remembered
when nothing more beautiful than a
Cupid and flower bedecked valentine
had existed for his inexperienced
eyes. And, in those days, they used
to cost vastly more than 10 cents.
1t had taken him weeks to save the
money to pay for the first one he
purchased. He smiled as he thought
of it.

years ago. He had just entered the

thank him publicly for sending it.
If she did he would be tempted to
deny it.
When school took up" Laura was
in her seat, but she did not even look
in his direction. He wondered wheth-
er the valentine had not yet been
delivered or whether she was entire
ly overcome by the magnifcence of
the offering.
Next morning, when again she neg.
lected even to glance at him, he de-
cided to bring matters to a crisis.
He skillfully threw paper wad,"
which landed on her desk. When she
turned quickly he was prepared for
an eloquent acknowledgment in her
eyes. But she only made a face" at
him.
That was the only acknowledgment
that he ever got. The Perkins boy
and Laura grew up together, and final
ly he heard, after he was Grown-up
Boy himself, that they were mar

tine episode he had gone back home
and had been introduced to Mrs.

had wondered how he had ever fallen
