a PENALTY or so PER CENT.
Allen County Trying to Collect Back
Taxes From a Spelter Company.

lola. Kan, Sept. THE county has
issued executions against the Chero-
hee-Lanyon Spelter company for back
taxes for the years 1906 and 1905 and
added 80 per cent as penalty. These
taxes have been the subject for con-
1roversy and for litigation for two
years the company claiming they were
illegally levied. Several suits have
been settled far enough to justify the
county in going ahead toward their
collection
The taxes result from the effort Of
Gas City TO take the Cherokee-Lanyon
company into the city limits They
fought it as long as they could under
the impression that the ordinance TAX
ing them into the city was illegally
passed. They claimed that when the
ordinance was published it was print
ed in the Gas City Gaslight, a paper
that had not been run q year. The
law says that it shall be published in
q pap per that has been published for
fifty two consecutive weeks

The ten cent editor arose, grand, gloomy
and peculiar. Silence reigned In the BAN
quiet hall. The pale young forehead ira
vailed with a thought. Then it shot out OF
the eloquent young lips with a thunder sound
ms Of a pop beer bottle exploding. with a
kissing sound as of carbonic sliding into the
highball glass:

for the country to know the worst, if there's
anything worse than the dime denunciators
have already told? And is 1t right that one
heroic bosom should have to contain that
awful whitening knowledge, that horrible
situation?
How horrible it is may be Judged from
this incomplete reference TO a Massa chusetts

ing eye Of the mighty magazinist:
Take this man Lodge .
He was "called of" just as he had taken this
man Lodge and was about to make way with

Mr.. BROOKS reminded him Of the poor
Indians, But was the company to con-
fine its operations to growing pinquay,
or could it "graze the land"2 Mr.. LIv-
INGsToN was very sceptical. sMr. BROOKS
treasured him; the company thought
there were millions in the mesa weed.
Mr., BURNETT of Alabama broke into
the debate to say the bill was "a really
meritorious proposition" and that it
would have his vote II amended 80 as to
authorize the President to convey "all
said lands" to the rubber company
within ten years for not less than S1.55
an acre-the tract is open to cash settle
ment at that rate. 1t was here that Mr.,
GAINES Of Tennessee, who must always
be reokoned with, waved in the air a
telegram from Director WALCoTT Of the
Geological Survey In answer to a tele-
phoned inquiry: Township 81 north,
range II west, Colorado, Is classified
Is coal lands by our coal experts" Mr..
WALCoTT added that the coal lay deep
and had not been developed yet, "Mr.
Speaker, shouted the Tennessee tribune,
why should we agree to sell to this COM
pany and no other company, not sell to
the highest bidder, not open to the world,
these coal lands of the West, when coal
is scarcer out in the West than chicken
teeth?" And If it was not a coal steal,
the rubber trust might be in it; so Mr..
GAINES wanted an amendment revesting
the land in the United States If the COM
pany entered into any agreement with
a trust. Mr.. MoNDELL Of Wyoming
doubted whether II the trust octopus
were to be demolished Mr.. GAINEs's
amendment would be IAN effective way
to begin the attack"
But the rubber trust was more alarmed
than JOHN WESLEY GAINES. Mr.. T1R-
RELL Of Massachusetts had received a
telegram from L. D. ASHLEY, a rubber
manufacturer, as follows: Mail me
copy Of bill relating to leasing land in
Colorado to P. F. U. Rubber Company.
Who is back of the bill? See Speaker
prevents hasty action" 1t seemed to
be up to Mr.. CANNON. He did not inter-
vene "The question is, said Uncle JOE,
shall the rules be suspended and the bill
pass" 1t went through with a rush.
The mystery remains. There was
once an enthusiast who experimental
with the common milk weed as a rubber
plant, and sank a fortune. The pinquay
may eclipse Hepea bxasliensis. If so
the trust will not have to worry about
the Amazon Valley output, and Manaos,
the rubber metropolis, will run to weeds.
The bold experiment of the P. F. U,
Company will be watched With breath
less interest by the trade, Why should
capital bother with coal that lies so deep
when there is a fortune in rubber on top
Of the mesa?
