To Save Table Cloths.

A friend with large family used
to be much disturbed over the FREE
auency with which she had to renew
her table linen, and especially the
tablecloths. At last she hit this plan:
When she buys her linen, she sees to
it that it is wider than necessary, and
also a few inches longer. Then when
the edges show the slightest indication
Of wear, she Immediately takes OF a
strip from one side, four or six inches
wide. and a strip from the end. This
of course throws the wear upon diff
ferent place, and her cloth lasts just
as long again. Isn't it well worth try
ing?

A SOUND ANSWER.

While he is not a. candidate for Of
fee this year. Senator S. S. Benedict.
of Wilson county, comes up with some
answers to the square DEAF questions
Especially sound is Senator Bene-
diets attitude on the question of as
sessing railroads on the same basis as
other property. It is we'll known
fact that while some property pays
more than its proportion of the taxes,
other property escapes very lightly
more so than even the railroads. And
then something like 125 millions of
money in the banks escapes taxation
altogether. Therefore Senator Bene-
dict says:
your question assumes that other
property than railroad property has
common basis, which is not the case.
There are just as many bases as there
are counties in Kansas. The assessors
of each county make their own base,
so there is no uniformity of assessment
in Kansas, and so far as equity is con-
cerned our assessment of both real and
personal property in Kansas is
fraud. I am also we'll aware that the
assessment of railroads as now con
Quoted is a farce, but we can not hon.
estly accuse the railroads of being
favored while such favoritism and in
CAPABILITIES characterize our assessment
of other property. am in favor of all
kinds of property being assessed at its
actual value. whether belonging to in
dividuals or corporations
The solution of the whole problem
of assessment and taxation lies in Sen
ator Benedict's remedy-the~ assess
ment of all property at aotualvalue.
