A SUIT FOR TAXES
A Formal Way of Getting Them Off
 the Books.

A suit will be shorty filed Dy which the loss to the county of about S3O. 900 will be established. There will be no hope of tho county winning the suit. but suit is the only way by which a satisfactory status may be established. The suit will relate to the collection Of the back taxes It will be a friendly action and will be begun against the Bartlett Heard company. The taxes sought to be collected are those on as- easements on lands made previous to the procuring of final receipts from the government by the entrymen. IL has been the theory of those who have op- posed the collection of these taxes that the territory had no right to collect taxes on government land and that government land Is government lard until the final receipt has been issued. Personal property on government land may be taxed and so may the posses sorry riglt of settler in government land, but in making these assessments they appear to have been always made directly upon the land, so much an acre. Taxes on possessory rights should be collected on the spot The taxes in dispute cover e long period Of years. All back taxes amount to about S30.oo0 and most Of them are taxes upon land net fully proved upon.
 It was at first thought that the board of supervisors might strike such taxes from the list, but the law giving the board such authority is not clear, so it was decided to have the matter settled by a law suit. Unless the board should strike of these taxes or unless they were disposed of in some other way the collector would have to bring suit against each separate parcel of land. The cost of such Iitiga- ton has been estimated at not less than $2,o0O. The amount involved in the suit to be brought is about S1OO.

y. E. Hicks VIII Ask for $500
from Water Company.

Mr.. A. E. Hicks. of the firm of Bar
ger & Hicks, of Chicago, is in the city
this afternoon, preparing a s;lit
against the Topeka Water company
for $150O0O indemnity. because of the
heavy loss sustained in the Parkhurst-
Davis fire of several weeks ago on ac-
count of the low water pressure.
Technically the action Will be brought
in the name of the big Topeka whole
salers, but the Judgment, if one is OBJ
tanned will go to the insurance COM
panies. The name of the plaintiff must
be that of the Parkhurst-Davis com
pany, because they have the first right
for damages.
Mr. Hicks has been in consultation
with a number of lawyers. and was
found this afternoon in Mulvane &
Gault's office He would not state
definitely when the suit would be
brought, further than an inference
that if it came. it would be sometime
next week He would not give out
who would be associated with him in
the case.
