DOUBLES THE TAX.
Private Car Lines VIII Pay Kansas
Much More

Private car lines viii pay the state a
tax aggregating $12.79 this year. as
compared with the s6,392.92 paid in
1905.
The increase is largely due to the
fact that the Santa Fe Refrigerator
Dispatch company contributes $4,385
this year, and through an error, did
not appear on the returns at all in
1905. The Santa Fe concern returns
a total valuation of $4,000, which is
twice as much as the Union Tank line.
the next on the list
The total valuation of all private car
line property in the state is fixed at
S284,381 as compared with $151,493
in the year 1905.
There IS good deal of doubt under
the existing law whether the state has
any authority to tax the private car
lines in the way it has proceeded dur
ing the past two years. The law pro-
vides for a division of the tax pro rata
among the various counties of the
state. but this would largely increase
the trouble Of collecting the tax, and
the railroad companies agreed to come
in and accept a direct assessment for
the benefit of the state treasury. The
probability is that the next legislature
viii change the law to make 1t more
practical.
The assessed valuation of the fol-
lowing companies show the principal
increases over 1905:

A BIRD TRAGEDY.
The Passenger Pigeon, Once So Pion-

The Passenger Pigeon, Once So PIen-
tiful, Now Extinct.
The greatest Of. all tragedies ir the
feathered kingdom was the sudden
extinction, the magical disappearance,
Of tho once countless hosts of passen-
ger pigeons. The question as to what
became Of them and why they went
has become n Of tho most puzzling
problems Of ORTHODOXY. Those old
enough to remember these beautiful
birds have never ceased to regret their
unacoountable determination. One
day as numerous as tho sands of che
seashore and flying in myrlads that
dSrkened the sky for hours at o time,
next day they have disappeared as
completely as II never In existence SO
completely that a large reward cffer-
ed for a pair still remains unclaimed.
A celebrated American ornithclogist
estimated that q flock he saw early In
the last century numbered largely over
two Thousand two hundred and thirty
millions. and they would consume sev.
enteen million four hundred and TWEEN
ty.four thousand bushels of mast every
dayl These are tremendous figures
but many Of our older reai lers, T nom.
bering tlocks seen In their boyhood,
will readily believe them to be true.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE In ATLANTA,
Negro Boat, Bound and CriminaIIy
Assaulted. White Lady.

Some Of the negroes Of Atlanta
must be determined to pull of anoth.
or riot. Oae Of tho most ~dastardly
assaults ever perpetrated was that
committed there on Tuesday Of last
week by Joe Glenn, q negro 80 years

about 8. 80 O'Clock that morning, ohok-
ed Mrs. Camp into unconoiousness,

gained ner power to scream and run
rom the house, whereup0n the then
unknown asHailant made bio escape.
Mrs. Camp was found by two mon
who were passing shortly after 10
O'Clock that morning, bound to q tree
and terribly bruised and injured as q

Profit Not Cost.

Mr.. Sterrett. Tate, replying to o
quotation from the New York Herald
TO the effect that az cotton can be
grown at five cent per pound, It Ia
unreasonable for the producer to ex.
poet more than ten cents for it. Mr..
Tate successfully ridioules the prop.
osition that cotton can be grown at
live cents o pound and shows that
ten cents Is too low for the producer
to make the reasonable margin Of pro.
fit to which he 10 entitled.
1t Is 9 very simple matter for q
Newspaper q Thousand miles away
from the fields to tell the cotton pro.
duoer what 1t costs per pound to raise
cotton, but when reduced to its last
analysis advice from the neighbor-
hood OF Wall street is OF no mere
value to the average cotton farmer
than would be the opinion Of the
average cotton producer TO q New
York s%peonlator who might be seek.
Ing evidence as to the latest move
ments OF the Parision boufse.
Every item entering into the pro-
duotion Of cotton has vastly increased
during the past few years. Ii costs
mor to buy land, fertilizers, stock,
utensils, to pay for labor and to meet
tho expenses Of living than over be.
fore. The cost entering into the pro.
duotion Of q bale of cotton today Ia
almost double the cost Ct the making
OF o bale ten years ago. While 1t la
true that ten GENTS will perhaps meet
actual expenses and give the producer
and his family q living, IL Is not lust
for the world to expect the COTTON
grower to be satisfied with only 40.
tual living expenses,
The cotton grower ia just as much
entitled to q reasonable return on his
effort, his onergy, his time and his
Investment as the Wall street broker
Is entitled to his profit. What would
Wall atreet think II the cotton pro-
duG0r should take the position that
It's brokers and business men should
be entitled to 40 more than actual
living expenses out Of their business
and yet that 10 tho position asBum-
ed towards the cotton growers by q
great many people the world over.
What Wall street doean't know about
the cost of making cotton would fill
q great many books.
In the meantime The constitution
again urges the cotton producers NJ
the south to let Wall streot alone,
and to make Its arrangements inde.
pendent OF advice received from that
direction. The secretary OF the
Mississippi division OF the Southern
Cotton Association was right when
he warned tho producers OF the south

market Ia worth that much at least,
aud II marketed slowly will bring 1t.
