HAVE FOUND A WAY
Leavenworth .COunty's Plan to Get
Even With Railroads.

The big reduction in the assessment
of the railroads in Leayenworth coun-
ty has started trouble which may re-
act on the railroads. The township
assessors now propose to reduce the
assessments on all other property III
Leayenworth county from 10 to 20
per cent, which is about the same re-
duction as that made by the state
board of railroad assessors on certain
railroads. Some of the township as
SCISSORS have already made their re-
ports to the county clerk, but they
have withdrawn their books for the
purpose of making the reduction. It
is said that at least two of the three
county commissioners approve the
plan.
assessed valuation of Leavenworth
county about a half million dollars.
To make up the deficiency the tax levy
would have to be increased This
would catch the railroad companies
which have had their valuations re-
duced and would make them pay
their share of the taxes in common
with the mass of the taxpayers.
This sort of a proposition, however,
viii be hard on those railroads which
did not get a reduction. The Missouri
Pacific. the Kansas y-Leavenworth
electric line and the Leavenworth
Bridge company are the ones which
got the big end of the $4,000 reduc-
ton. The Missouri Pacific alone was
reduced nearly 1000. On the other
hand. the Union Pacific and the Santa
Fe have a far greater mileage IT
4 I,eavenworth county than the Missouri
/ Pacific and they got no reductions
from the state board. If the tax levs
/ is increased to make up the deficiency
caused by lowering other property in
general and the favored corporations

4 ones rather hard. And If this sort o.
/ a plan will work in LeavenWortl
county. other counties also may tax

happy to give my endorsement for

had been unable to work for over a
month and could not regain my
strength. I could not sleep at night
and was in very nervous, high
strung, condition. I decided to try
what Peruna would do to build UP my
strength. and am pleased to say that
began to improve very shortly, and
in less than two months / was able to
take up my work, and felt better than
I have for years. I take it now twice
