To our way CT thinking, Fred s.
Jackson, the Republican nominee for
attorney general, has the proposition
sized up just right lin the following
taken from Tuesdays State Journal:
"There is no quieScent assent to the
questions in Mr.. Jackson's replies.
He discusses the propositions involved
in a way that shows that he has ideas
of his own concerning them. In re-
gard to the assessments of railroads,
for instance, Mr.. Jackson suggests
that the board of railroad commits
sioners be instructed TO determine
the value of the railroads, and he
favors assessing all property at it's
cash value. The board of railroad
commissioners ought to have excel
lent opportunities for learning the
value of the railroads. In determin-
ing the justice of freight rates, the
value of the roads must be considered
in order-to fix rates that will give a
just return upon the value of the
roads. If the railroads insist on put
ting their value of their property
high, In order to show that they
ought to be allowed TO charge high
rates, they ought also to pay taxes
upon the valuation. 1t is asserted by
some of those who have been connect
ed with railroad assessments in Kan
sas in the past, that there ought to
be some change in the method of
making the assessments At present
this is done by five state officers, who
give week OF two each year to this
work-and that's all. 1t is argued
that the job of assessing from sixty to
a hundred million dollars worth of
property is important enough to re-
Quire the continual attention of two
or three men, who ought to compare
Kansas valuations with those in other
states and also familiariZe themselves
with the subject of cost and revenues
AT present the argument is usually all
on one side. The tax commissioners
of the various railroad companies,
high salaried men. appear before the
railroads assessors and present an ar
ray of figures to show why their re-
spective roads should be given low
other side. Some of the board lean
towards the railroads. Others wish
to do the square thing, but they have
little personal knowledge of condi-
tions other than the figures produced
by the tax commissioners. Is it any
wonder that there are seldom any in
creases made in railroad valuations?
The entire taxation system in Kansas
needs overhauling, including the as
sessmsnts of the railroads. Some
property is assessed too high, some is
too low, and some escapes taxation
altogether. -Hoxie Sentinel.

Not MuChy!

good Democratic exchange, which
is filled with east wind by the heavily
charged atmosphere of current poll
tics, says:
IF the Emporia Gazette, and the
Republicans who are contending for a
square deal are sincere and earnest in
their contentious, they should get in
the Democratic band wagon where
there is hope for purer politics and
honest enforcement of the laws in
the interest of the people,"
That looks fine on paper 1t works
oue beautifully as a theory. There is
not a flaw in the scheme. But the
hard uncomfortable facts are that
when the Democratic party has been
in power in this state or in this ma
tion. it does not enforce the laws; it
does not give the people purer poll
tics, and instead of these things it
gives them confusion, pickering and
trouble. The Democratic party in
Kansas no sooner gets into power
than it begins to quarrel. A Demo-
cratic administration in Kansas
would set the states clock back a
dozen years. Harris might mean
well, and of course he does mean well
but he weuld have to fight the
hungry horde of Office seekers who
would want to turn the state upside
down to get at the crib. He would
be able to do little or nothing. The
! Democratic party as a party offers
little hope for Kansas, and while
here and there Democratic candi-
date who is worthier than the Repub-
Iican candidate opposing him, and
here and there is place on the tickes

of tue short grass country was a wide
open prairie. They secured land when
it was very cheap, and at a time when
there was no farming done in that
country. 1t was then used Tor grazing

farmers" said r. S. Musgrave. "We
have been raising wheat several years,
and recently we commenced to raise

A RECORD BREAKING CROP.
Raised at Kansas State Agricultural
COLLEGE.

The agronOmy department of the
Kansas State Agricultural college at
Manhattan has just finished thresh-
The oats and barley made very low
yields, but the wheat was an excellent
crop. Prof. TenEyck says:
1--WE are unable to determine the
yields from a large number of the
plots in the trial of different varieties
of wheat on account of the fact that
a shock or two of each variety was re-
served to be sorted over by hand in or
der to select pure type of wheat for
future planting. However, the yields
from several plots have been determ-
the best yields ranging from So to 50
bushels per acre. From the yields of
these several plots in different por-
tions of the field l have estimated
that our best field of wheat, includ
ing some sixteen acres in area, has
produced an average yield of over
fifty bushels of grain per acre. This
seems like very large yield, but the
weight of the grain threshed from
the several plots corroborates these
figures. Last season we harvested
very excellent wheat crop, which
yielded on the average something
over forty bushels per acre. The
large yield secured is due In part to
the fact that we are growing some of
the best producing varieties of wheat,
as shown by the trials of the last few
seasons at this station. The frtility
of the soil, the preparation of the
seed bed, and the favorable conditions
for growth have had much to do with
the production of this record break
ing crop. Some of this wheat was
grown in increase plots for the pur-
fose of prod Hcing seed wheat, and the
agronomy department will have
thousand bushels, more or less, of seed
wheat for sale of some of the best pro-
duclng varieties which have been
tested at this station.

where for the good of the party Re
publicans should rebuke their party,
yet the fact remains that the Demo-
cratic party never helped Kansas or
the country: and a Democratic vic
tory would be a miserable mistake in
Kansas at this time.
1t is all right to have a Democratic
party. And it is all right to have it
operated about as it is operated now,
with a gambler at the head OF the ma
tional committee and false alarm at
the head of the state committee.
