TAKING OIL PROPERTY,
Making Upa Case To Go Before The
Supreme Court.

Chanute, Kans., April 26,-The oil
operators in the Chanute district are
somewhat agitated over the new sys.
tenn adopted for taxing oil property.
The assessors are not only assessing
the tangible property such as derricks,
pumps, machinery and pipe lines, but
also the product, leases and the wells
themselves. The operators have no
objection to the assessment of all tan.
gible property, including the average
product, but they don't like to paw
taxes on leases and wells. They ar.
que that lease or well is of no value
unless backed up by production, and,
as the product is taxed, the wells and
leases should not be- They further
more declare that an oil well or lease
is neither personal property nor real
estate within the strict meaning of the
law.
On the other hand the farmers who
gave up oil leases for a song and now
see them selling for from $4,000 to $780,
600 on a quarter section, want the
leases taxed. 1t lowers their taxes
just that much. Arrangements are
now being made to get up an agreed
statement of facts and go before the
supreme court with a test case |

Russian arms, and then when the time
comes for peace to make terms directly

There is to be no repetition of the

Tho Reports Warrant Legal Procedure
In The Matter

Beef Trust Investigation by Agents Of
the Department OF Commerce And
Labor at the Various Packing
Houses
Houses.

Washington, April 96.-It is learned
here that several reports have beer
received concerning the beef trust in.
vestigation from agents of the depart.
ment OF commerce and labor, who are
now at work at the packing centers.
They supplement to a considerable
degree what has been sent out concern
ing the investigation thus far, but it
is now believed that enough evidence
has been collected to warrant legal
procedure against several Of the pack
ing concerns in the so.called beef com
bine.
According to the report, especially
as 1T relates to Kansas City, where a
special agent has been investigating
for more than week, the Schwarz.
schild & sulzberger and Cudahy pack.
ing companies are arrayed on one side,
agalnsttLc concerns known as Armour,
Swift and Morris on the other. The
latter companies compose what is
known as the National Packing com.
pany, which owns or at least controls
about fifteen other smaller packing
concerns in the smaller towns outside
Of Kansas City. Omaha and Chicago.
In Kansas City it is believed the
operations of the alleged beef trust are
easier defined than in other places.
AS o matter Of fact, although the
Kansas City employees of the Armours
entered vigorous denial, they were
taking their orders from Chicago all
the time, and technical arrangement
OF the books deceived even many of the
Kansas City Armour employees.
When the Armours, Swifts and Ham.
