Leavenworth is perhaps the leading
exponent of the licensed joint system
in the state. Topeka is undoubtedly
the leading exponent of the law en-
forcement system 1t is therefore of
interest TO compare the financial con-
dition of the two cities. as shown by
their annual reports. The annual re-
port for all the departments of the
city of Leavenworth for the fiscal
year ending March 81, 1904, has just
been received. 1t is a handsome
printed book, illustrated with pictures
of all the city officers. Topeka can
not afford to issue such a book
Leavenworth got $4,000 last year
out of its joints. 1t took nearly all
of this. however, to pay the interest on
the vast bonded debt of the city.
Joint revenue, therefore, does not help
Leavenworth to pay its current ex-
penses of city government
In proportion to the size OF the
town, it costs Topeka more to run
nearly all its departments than it does
LeavenWorth.
Topeka's public schools cost about
$16O,00o a year; Leavenworth seems
to get along on about $4,000. Be
sides, the bonded debt of the Topeka
board of education has reached the
enormous sum of $43S,261 while at
I4eavenWorth the bonded school debt
is only $4,000. Topeka's public
schools are the most expensive lux
ury in which this city INDUCES
LeaVenworth ran its sanitary de-
partment during the last fiscal year
for SS11.25. Topeka spent $7,0O1.97.
This is another of Topeka's expensive
luxuries.
Here is a comparative statement
for several other city departments for
the fiscal year ending March 81, 1904:

LUTHER BAILEY TO SPEAK.
VIII Go to Indiana TO Enter the Cam
paign.

Luther Bailey. of Topeka, has been
invited by the Republican state COM
mittee of Indiana, to stump western
Indiana during the coming campaign
Republican candidate for governor.
Mr.. Bailey has accepted.
1t was S years ago that Hanley
made his first political race He stood
for the Republican nomination as
representative to the Indiana house
from the district about Oxford. The
convention met in the opera house
and the machine had things fixed to
had agreed to place Hanley in nomi
nation was candidate for sheriff in
one of the counties of the district
The opposition warned the man that
beaten for sheriff. Just before the
time for nominations the man in
formed IIanley that he would not
place his name in nomination. Han
ley found the convention fixed" and
man after man declined to place him
in nomination. HanIey and Luther
Bailey had been school teachers in the
same district for years Bailey was
delegate in the convention and had
voted for the first time the year be-
fore. He had never made a political
speech. Hanley told him that he must
place him in nomination. Bailey was
afraid that he would make a fzzle,
but he consented to try. The con-
vention was dead against Hanley, but
Bailey made a regular rip snorting''
convention speech, telling all about
the man he would nominate but with
holding his name until the very end
of his speech. The fact that he forced
the convention to listen to him and
that he pounded the facts into them
almost won the day for Hanley, for he
lost the nomination by only one vote
This is the reason Bailey is asked TO
make speeches in Indiana. Later
Hanley went to congress and the state
senate.

JULY DIVIDENDS.
Will Reach a Total of sos. 5O9, 900
But Little Below Last Year.

New York, June 29.-Despite several
suspensions of payments by Industrial
companies and occasional omissions by
railroads, the total Of July dividends
apparently will fall but little below the
record figures of last summer, while it
runs slightly ahead of the total for last
January.
Dividend payments due July / are es-
timated at sos, 500 900, and interest pay
ments at $40. 100000 The only note
worthy feature of the statistics is a de-
cline of over SO, OO0. 600 in payments by
industrial concerns, as compared with
July, 1903. This is accounted for, how
ever, by the suspension of dividends on
the common stock Of one great corpora

Although Leavenworth gets $40, S40.39
from its joint licenses and Topeka gets
nothing, Mayor Anthony of Leaven-
worth seems to have a scheme for
making the joints help pay off the
city's bonded debt as well as pay the
running expenses of the town. He says
in his annual report;

of the bonds of the city be purchased
each month and cancelled by the coun-
ell in regular open session. For many
years past, both political parties have
Incorporated in their platforms, planks
pledging themselves to the establish

out in the large barn connected with
the American house at Newman, the
Lake Placid railroad station, shortly
after midnight. The barn was de-

extensive damage. This part of the

$4,000 From Joints.

For its general revenue fund out of
which most of the citys running ex-
penses are paid, the city of Leaven-
worth got only $13,764 last year by
taxation. The following is a compar-
alive statement of general revenue re-
ceipts from some of the principal
sources in Topeka and Leavenworth:

I.eavenworth.s Heavv burden.

Leavenworth is staggering under a
burden of bonded debt which would
wreck a community under ordinary
conditions. It's annual interest charge
is over twice what il is in Topeka. per
capita. Here is a comparative state
ment of the interest bearing debt Of
the two cities:

Topeka can Wei take a IessOn IN
municipal economy from the city Of
Leavenworth. It is not so much the
$4,000 year Joint revenue which is
helping Leavenworth make a good
financial showing as it is economical
municipal administration.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-06-29

Leavenworth's bonded debt bears
higher average rate of interest than
the Topeka bonded debt, which adds
to the weight of the burden for that
city. Leavenworth pays nearly $70,
600 interest annually
Taxes in Leavenworth are levied on
the actual cash valuation of the prop
erty. In Topeka the levy is supposed
to be made on one-third valuation.
Hence the Leavenworth levy may be
expected to be one-third that of the
Topeka levy. The Leavenworth levy
last year was al mills. The Topeka
levy was so mills. The Topeka levy
is therefore higher than the Leaven-
worthy levy, but not materially so.
The big end of Leavenworth' tax levy
goes to pay interest. and it has the
joint revenue to run the city with.
The big end of Topeka's levy goes to
run the city, and the interest is paid
out of the remainder. There is no
Joint revenue here.
