OUTSTANDING BONDS.
Topeka Will Soon Have $2,0oo,00o
Worth Floating.

The city has bonds outstanding to the
amount of f.s4 per cent. of its taxable
property, according to the report of City
Clerk J. H. Squires. The total amount
of the outstanding bonds is 81 SAC. .45022-

City bonds ................-...$ 525,600.00
Improvement bonds ......... 567,1S9-2z
School bonds ...-...........-- 44f,66lOO
Total ..--.-....-. ..S1,o4O, 4oO.z1
To this will be added very soon the
$4,000 of waterworks bonds, which will
bring the total I'D to over 81. 0O0, ,000.
There will also be quite a large
amount of Improvement bonds issued
this spring to pay for paving. Even
though the city council turns down
nearly all of the miscellaneous paving
petitions, and grants practically moth
ing except the East Eighth avenue
cemetery extension in addition to the
streets agreed to last year. it will
amount to ten or twelve blocks of
pavement to be paid for this year.
which means an expenditure of about
$4,000.
The Improvement bonds are paid of
one-tenth each year, but the city bonds
and. school bonds run for long terms.

Readers of The Independent from
Every state send the most encouraging
rel.rts. Many report surprise at the
large and increasing number Of pupu-
lists TO be found in their respective

among the liberal and Independent
thinking democrats is widespread. The
same is true among the anti-monOpoly
republicans. All the dissatisfied ele-
ments are turning to the populist par
ty where the platform is clear cut and
the candidates in full sympathy with
the people. Every populist should push
the organization and educational work.

Facts For PopuIists.

Can populist principles be proven?
Are they, or have they ever been, put
to the practical test of actual trial?
Yes. They are in daily operation,
and they are completely successful.
They are abundantly proven by years
of the most glorious results.
Why should popullsts talk theories
when they have proven facts to sus-
tain their claims?
Panics can be prohibited by the gov
eminent, because it has been done in
New Zealand.
Government loans direct to the peo-
ple-not to the banks, but to the
masses of the people-at reasonable
and uniform interest, is practicable,
because it is being done in New Zea-
land every day, with a profit to the
government and help to the people,
and the losses are almost nothing.
Postal savings banks are practicable
because they are in daily operation in
New Zealand and in many other coun-
tries.
Government telegraph is practicable
because the telegraph is operated by
the government in every civilized
country, except Bolivia, Honduras,
Cyprus, Cuba, and the United States
of America.
The package post is practicable be-
cause it is in daily operation in New
Zealand, England, Germany, and many
other countries.
Land titles are guaranteed by the
government in New Zealand.
Personal property is exempted from
taxation, small land holdings are ex-
empted. and land value is taxed with
an increased rate on large holdings in
New Zealand, in order to protect the
humble home and place the burden of
taxation where it can best be borne.
The railroads are run for service,
not profit, in New Zealand, and school
children are carried free.
Incomes and inheritances are taxed
in New Zealand and in many other
countries, and the larger the income
or inheritance, the larger the proper
tionate tax.
Strikes and lockouts are prohibited
in New Zealand, and worthy old age in
need gets a pension.
The coal trust in New Zealand is
kept within reasonable bounds by the
government going into the coal mining
business and Offering competition to
the trust
