White says in the Emporia Gazette:

to boss the politics of the state in the
interests of the railroads, are trying to
make it appear that the movement to

the state ticket can win is a Stubs
movement. There is nothing in this.
The movement was started at Emporia
a month or so ago at a meeting Of the
Kansas Civic Voters league. Mr.
Stubs was not present at that meet
ing. The suggestion that the list of
questions be asked to the candidates
came from the state convention Of
shippers held in Wichita last January,

WyandOtte county assesses It's per
sonal property on a very low basis and
apparently the assessors are not able
to md very much stuff of value Money
and mortgages are supposed to be
about the hardest things for the asses
sors to uncover" and while in Shaw
nee county the assessors found $356,-
684 in money and s445,510 in mort
cages, in Wyandette county the asses
sors report only s62.340 in money and
S6G,435 in mortgages.
In Shawnee. horses are assessed at
an average value of s53.2S, while in
Wyandotte the valuation is fixed at
81. Cattle in Shawnee are assessed at
1858. in Wyandotte at s.. Wagons in
Shawnee are s2314; in Wyandotte
81. Gold watches in Shawnee are
S151s: in Wyandotte $3.50. Pianos in
Shawnee are STATS; in Wyandotte
s2e.5c.
In view OF the very low estimate which
the Wyandotte assessors put on their
personal property. the state board of
equalization raised their valuations 10
per cent. Even with that much in
crease, Wyandotte is still paying very
much less than its portion of the tax,
as compared with Shawnee
The comparative amount Of personal
property in Shawnee and Wyandotte
is as follows:

brings the crowds, for the people know
that during this SC sale that &c does

HOW IT'S WORKED
WyandOtte County Is Playing
System.
Keeps Valuation Down to a
Minimum.
LESS THAN SHAWNEE.
Though County Has Nearly
Twice the Population.
Some Queer Facts Revealed by
By the Figures.
LESS THAN SHAWNEE.

Comparisons Of the real and personal
property returns from Wyandotte and
Shawnee counties show how the people
at the Kaw's mouth play a system"
10 secure a low taxation.
In spite of the fact that Wyandotte
county has about twice the population
of Shawnee. the valuation of the coun-
ty, as returned by the county clerks to
the state auditor for the purposes Of
taxation, showsthat Shawnee has more
taxable property than Wyandotte by
$226. 1857.
Wyandotte county apparently cuts
down its valuation in every way posi-
bic. It returns a comparatively small
amount Of personal property, and fixes
an absurdly low value on what it does
return. The result is that the Wyan-
dotte county returns are even more
misleading than the ordinary county
have worked we'll in years past, and
they are improving upon it from year
to year.
Just as an example of how it is done,
the following figures in regard to town
lots in Topeka and Kansas City Will
be of interest:
In 1905. Kansas City returned its
town lots at an average value OF
S14S.40, and Topeka returned hers at
an average value of s179.5T.
In 1905, Kansas City cut its vaiu-
ton on town lots down to S134.3S, and
Topeka raised hers to S189-S5.
OF course it stands to reason that
town lots in Kansas City have been
increasing in value just as fast as town
lots in Topeka, but the Kansas City
system" is to reduce its valuation
whenever possible
The ten highest counties in the state
are the same as last year, but there
are several shifts in position. Lyon
county has been crowded down from
nth to seventh. Reno and Montgom-
cry counties both going past her. The
ten high counties. in the order of their
rank, on the valuation as returned by
he county clarks are as follows.

reduction on its real estate valuation
and raised the personal property valua-
ton of Wyandotte county 10 per cent
I.After this equalization. Shawnee
county was called Un0n for $50, 1856 In
state tax. and Wyandotte county for
S1O2.449. In order to make the thing
equitable. there IS no doubt that Wv
andotte county should have been in
creased much more than 10 per cent on
It's valuation
Shawnee county viii in all probability
be given the 20 per cent reduction on
its real estate valuation this year. but
"a Is entitled to a similar reduction on
personal property. If the Wyandotte
county valuation is not increased more
than 10 per cent.
