LET TO HIGHEST BIDDER
Garbage Recommendation of Council
Health Committee.

Acting under the suggestion Of
Councilman Sinner, chairman Of the
council committee on health ard sani-
tation, the committee recommended
last evening that the city let the right
to dispose of the city's garbage to the
highest bidder. Bids to be advertised
for by the city clerk.
The action was precipitated by the
request Of the Topeka Desiccating
company for a renewal OF its contract
at an increase in its charges of from
$25 a month to 500. The latter figure
is entirely too high according to the
committee, Lincoln. Neb., paying but

would be given the exclusive right to

The members of the city board OF

selves in favor of a municipal crema-

temporary arrangement which would
handle the city's garbage until q mu

On September 1 the city Of Topeka

But this biggest of all trusts, the
labor trust, assumes to itself the right
to rule the balance Of the people and
make them pay tribute to It, for the
further fatteninE. principally of the
leaders and incidentally OF the hum
bier members.
So, having been restrained by Con-
gress, the labor leaders now propose to
go into politics and elect labor trust
members to rule the balance of US.
Such massing of class or trust power
IN the hands Of a few men is exceed
ingly dangerous for the safety Of the
common people.
There is but one safe procedure.
Elect men who do not represent any
trust but stand steadfast for the citi-
zens. the 100 per cent. the whole peo-
pie and not the few trust members who
geek to feed of the many.

gress but to enact strict labor trust

large.

DO you stand for the trusts. either

Don't permit any cowardly excuses

This Is a trust burdened age. but the
peoples prosecuting officers are trying
to protect the people and viii no doubt
soon turn their attention to prosecu-
ton Of the labor trust leaders for their

against him for malpractice or any
other reason. The Wichita doctor
wanted to know whether the concern
was reliable.
Mr.. Luling referred the matter to
Attorney General Coleman. Mr.. Cole
man says that the concern has not
complied with the corporation laws Of
the state, and has not complied with
the insurance laws. It is therefore an
outlaw company and its agents might
be prosecuted for soliciting business in
Kansas. Anyone taking a policy with
the concern would have no means o.

senting the company in Kansas.

OBJECT TO STOCK PASSES.
'.Katy" Thinks the New Law Is Not
valid.

The Missouri. Kansas & Texas rail-
way has fled in the supreme court Of
the state a case to test the validity of
the law passed by the last legislature
which requires a railroad company to
furnish free transportation to shippers
of live stock. The case comes to the
supreme court from Anderson county.
John Wallace. Of the firm of Sinclair
& Wallace of Kincaid, Kan, took a load
Of cattle to Kansas City from Kincaid.
The railway company refused to give
Mr.. Wallace a pass back to Kincaid.
So Wallace had to pay his own way.
When he arrived at Kincaid, he COM
menced suit aaginst the NJ. x. & T. for
S4010. and attorneys fees. The amount
Of $4010 is double the cost Of a ticket
from Kansas City to Kincaid, which
the law says may be collected, plus rea-
sonable attorneys fees.
The jury allowed Wallace $48.6z. and
the railroad company appeals to the SUI
preme court. The railroad company
contends that the law is entirely un-
constitutional, and It further claims
that since the destination of the cattle
was Kansas City. Mo-, that the Kansas
courts have no jurisdiction over the
matter even If the law Is constitutional.

FELL FROM FIGURES.
Resador samueIs Isn't Much Hurt
Mrs. RaReloch Is Injured

Resador Samuels, a ten-year-old
boy, was hurled from a fast moving car
on the Figure at Vinewood park last
evening. He clutched hold Of the track
in falling and climbing to a pole drop
ped a distance Of 10 feet to the ground
Aside from two or three cuts on the
back and arms young Samuels escaped
injury and was apparently none the
worse for his experience. The boy had
gone out IN the evening with crowd
of young people who had taken ad-
vantage OF the special excursion rates
to the park Taking in the amuse-
rnents they came in turn to the Figure
s. Though the cars on this amuse-
ment feature are only built to hold
four, eight young people crowded in.
Everything went all right until the last
turn was reached, when Samuels, who
was sitting on the lap of one Of the
party, lost his balance and fell out Of
the car, plunging downwards. He
caught on to the track and hung there
until he saw another car approaching
then with great presence Of mind he
worked his way to an upright and
slipped part way down and then drop
ped to the ground. The boy is a son Of
A. aSmuels. a Kansas avenue clothier

AN ESfPoRTA BEER STORY.
DoIph Wind Threatens to Shoot Of

Emporia, Aug. 1S-The Gazette
says: The home of Mrs. Katherine
Wind. 113 Market street, was raided
yesterday afternoon by Marshal
Francis and Ell Raymond. who had
been given to understand that a
Joint was maintained at the place.
They found in the cellar under the
house, and confscated, one case of
beer. The evidence pointing toward
the fact that Mrs. Wind was running
joint is said to have been the fact
that she possesses a government IL
cense to sell liquor at retail.
After the house had been searched.
Officer Raymond went to search the
barn while Marshal Francis stayed in
the house to watch the prisoner.
While looking through the barn Ray
mond heard some loud and angry
conversation IN the house and ran In
to discover what was the trouble. He
found Adolph Wind aiming a revolver
at the marshal and threatening to
shoot. On the arrival Of Raymond,
Wind ordered him to leave the house

HUMAN LIFE AND rs VALUE.
According to a Jury It Is About Same
as That of Foot.

Jury verdicts are sometimes peculiar.
A railroad company has appealed a case
to the supreme court where the jury
had given a verdict of 1925 for the
killing Of a 15-year-old boy. Today the
Santa F'e appealed a case where q jury
gave 5000 where q 13-year-old boy
merely lost a foot According to these
two juries the difference between losing
a foot and losing a life is only $275.
The Santa Fe case which arrived in
the supreme court today is appealed
from Clay county. The accident, how
ever, which cost Clarence McElroy his
left foot, occurred at Aurora, Cloud
county Aurora was the passing place
OF two passenger trains. Clarence Nc
Elroy was sent by his father, G. 1. Nc
Elroy to deliver a package to a man
coming in on one of the trains. Mr..
McElroy was at that time running a
store at Aurora. Someway the boy was
run down by one of the trains, and his
foot was so badly crushed that all ex-
cept the heel had to be amputated. He
brought suit for $4,000, and got a YER
dict for 50 600.

BIG CABLE RECEIPTS.
Alaskan Lines Break All Records In
July

Washington, Aug. 1s-Commercia1
receipts from the Alaskan cable and
telegraph lines amounted to $4,000
in July. which is $4,000 in excess of
the amount collected by the United
States in any previous month. The
official dispatches sent during the
month would have cost $12, 900 had
they been paid for at the commercial
rates. This rapid increase In the de-
mands upon the Alaskan cable and
Geographic system will be met by
the government by the duplexing of
the cable.
The cable ship Burnside which IS
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end OF the cable will
probably leave Seattle about Septem-
Der Is. 1t Will carry 200 miles of
new cable which has just been ship
ped from New York for the extension
of the cable service south of Ketchi-
kan. This extension will be effected
by tapping the line from Sitlza to
Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From that
point branch line will be extended
down to Wrangel. then to Hadley on
Prince of Wales island. and thence to
Ketchikan. which is only so miles
from Port Simpson, the English town
which Is to be the terminus of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway.
It IS believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will result in
great increase In cable receipts as the
new feeder taps a country which is
rich in mines and fisheries and al
ready has many large canning fac
tories which stand greatly in need Of
daily communication with the United
States. IN case the cable ship does
not encounter bad weather the line
win probably be completed before No
vember I. Captain Henry w. SIAM
ford. of the signal corps, will direct
the laying of the new line.

It's a Bit
Of a Job

TO order around and boss free Ameri-
cans and bullyrag them Il they don't
obey orders" without question.
Quite a little chore.
The labor trust leaders tried by
threats and other measures to bully
members of Congress into passing
some laws for the benefit Of the labor
trust but not in the interests Of the
people at large
They were told they didn't represent
all the people.
There happen to be 10 millions anti
trust Americans and about millions
labor trust members, many Of them
held by force.
Naturally every gain OF either money
or advantage for the members of any
trust must be absorbed from the "com-
mon" persons outside the trust. Every
trust must fatten by feeding or out
siders."
Think It over a moment and see if
that's right.
The beef trust raises the price Of
meat.
Who pays the raise?
The labor trust raises the price of
labor and we don't object to that in
reason, but who pays the raise? The
oil trust tries to freeze out a citizen
who starts in an independent Oil bust
ness. Why? So 1t can rule and have
its own way and make the people out
side the oil trust obey and pay toll.
The labor trust tries to force an
anti-injunction bill through Congress
to prevent courts from issuing re-
straining orders or injunetions, so IT
can be free to attack property or in
dependent men when the protection Of
the courts is Withdrawn and thus ter
roriEe the people and make them
"obey" the trust leaders and prevent
every Independent American from
selling his labor at all even though his
family may be starving.
You are ordered to refuse any labor
but that sold by the labor trust. and
not to buy any article os merchandise
unless it bear the union label" the
trademark OF the trust.
Some OF the most irksome tyrannie.
and outrages are put upon citizens
who believe IN the old doctrine that
America IS for freemen and d square
asai'' for everybody.
