WICHITA NOT SATISFIED.
Proposed New Jobbing Fate Sched-
ules VIII Be Opposed.

Wichita jobbing interests are pre-
pairing to open up a fight on the new
3obbing rates proposed by the state
board of railroad commissioners The
Wichita jobbers hope to secure the
cooperation of other interior jobbers,
and with the help of the railroads, to
knock the rate schedule proposed by
the railroad commission.
The Wichita jobbers have some
freight rate experts at work figuring
on the new schedules, and the results
of this figuring will determine the
course to be pursued.
In an attempt to offset these at
tacks. and get the newspapers of the
state to printing stuff in defense of the
new rates, E. C. Sinner, secretary of
the board, has issued long stateme nt
defending the action of the board, and
the board will send a copy to each
newspaper in the state. The following
is what the statement says about job
bling rates proposed:
1.-THE jobbing interests of Kansas
are not materially interested in a re-
duction of freight rates, their inter-
est lying almost solely in the equality
or parity of their rates with those of
their business competitor. 1t is al
most solely the producers and con-
sumner who pay the freight, and to as
the chief object of the board in pre-
pairing the new rates. The only in
terest these two classes of shippers
have in the parity of rates is that the
rate be so adjusted as to give them
the widest possible range of markets
in which to buy and sell, and it will be
the aim of the board to conserve their
interests in this regard. The jobbing
interests of both the river and interior
commercial centers are highly organ
Of
themselves before the board and the
courts. The large daily newspapers
of the state are located at these COM
mercial centers. and will naturally
take much interest in the jobbers'
rates and extension of trade benefits
to their several localities. 1t is quite
likely that none of the jobbing CEN
tiers will get all the good things they
would like. as the board must do two
things: First, build tariff it can de-
fend in the courts; and, second, pro-
tect the interests of the producers and
consumers as we'll as of the jobbers"

a primary bill, two Kansas legislatures
have failed to fulfill this pledge. Now,
lnasmuch as the agitation for primary
eiecllons has increased until today a
large majority of the voters Of the
Fourth congressional district and of
Kansas appear to be strongly in favor
or the selection of party nominees by
a direct vote at a primary election,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Republican central committee of
the Fourth congressional district that
the Republican nomination for con-
gress in this district be made next
year at a primary election to be held
at time to be later designated and
under such rules and regulations as
shall be prescribed by the congress
sional committed and the several
county central committees"
George P. Morehouse having moved
out of the district, resigned as chair
man of the committee. This vacancy
was filled by the election of Frank F.
McKercher of Peabody. Mr.. McKercher
has for several years been associated
with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
and the Mexican Central railways in
the capacity of division superintendent
and superintendent.
The friends of Judge R. R. Rees of
Ottawa county invaded" Cloud county
a few days ago in the interest of Judge
Rees' candidacy for congress. Indica-
lions are that Cloud county is likely to
go for Rees, though Bullen claims 1T.
B. T. Bullen, the Republic county can
didate, will have his own county, if he
stays in the race. though the charge Is
made that he is running in Calder
heads interests. S. s. Smith or Abb
lene will have Dickinson county, and
he may also get Clay. though up to the
time Judge Rees' candidacy was an
nounced, Clay was regarded at Smiths
territory. Calderhead seems to have
sure thing in Marshall and Washing
ton, and it is likely that he will also
get Geary IfgJudge Rees gets Saline,
Ottawa and Cloud, and Calderhead gets
Washington and Geary, the
race will be so close that Smith or
Bullen can practically name the candi-

TO TAX THE VEHICLES.
This Is Proposed in Lieu of an Occu-
patton Tax.

1t will cost something now to ride.
That is if you own your vehicle of
transportation. 1t costs anyway some
thing to keep going but it Is probably
ing the council committee on license
voted in favor of placing a tax upon ev-
cry wagon, dray, carriage, buggy, cab,
cart, bicycle and automobile in the city.
This action was taken in lieu of pass
ing the occupation tax proposed by
Councilman H. B. Howard. The city
attorney was Instructed to prepare an
ordinance placing a sliding scale of
taxes on vehicles. the heavier paying
higher tax. The schedule will be left
to the city attorney to prepare and no
recommendations were made by the
committee covering this feature.
However, this action of the commit
tee will have to pass the council before
it can finally go into effect. The cue
for such a tax awas taken from that
charged in Kansas City, Kan, and
Kansas City, Mo-, where such a tax law
is enforced. The idea prevailing back
of it is to afford protection for the
pavement and some charge for the wear
and tear to which pavements are sub
jected by vehicles. Councilman How
ard, who is the Sfather of the occupa-
ton tax states that he will reopen the
fight at the next pcouncil meeting. This
is what one State journal reader thinks
about the occupation tax:
Editor of the Topeka State Journal:
the occupation tax that I believe would
voice the sentiments of a very large
number of Topeka's worthy citizens. In
the first place 1 am opposed to taxing
any man who has nothing to tax but his
occupation. Our councilman, Mr.. How
ard, is quoted to estimate that $4,000
a year more would be added to the rev.
enue of the city by said proposed tax.
But in his next sentence he goes on to
say the people don't understand this
rightly If we pass this ordinance we
could reduce our tax levy, he says, 1t
is not for the purpose of adding more
taxes but to equalize it. 1t is an at
tempt, says Mr.. Howard, to make a
large number that have no property pay
taxes and thereby relieve some of the
burden on the property owners. Now
then if the property owners are to have
their taxes cut down in proportion to
the tax put upon the poor man who
has nothing then how about that $780,
600 added to the city's revenues? He
says it is a principle of equalization
that he wishes to establish. Is that SO?
Then Mr.. Howard why don't you have
yourself taxed as much as the man that
owns twice or more property than you
DO. No that is not what you want and
it is not what any other man wants
who endorses such tax. The principle
ia self-evident They want the man
who has nothing to pay your taxes. |
There is no justice or equity In such an
ordinance.

kidney trouble which started with a
dull bearing down aching across the

confined to my bed for a week or ten
days at time. Doan's Kidney Pills
relieved me of the terrible suffering

kidney secretions which had been very
distressing and annoying. While have
had attacks of backach es since, / have
never been bothered with the kidney

SEWER IS FULL OF MUD.
That on Eighteenth Street May Have
to Be Reconstructed.

One block and a half of "a inch
brick sewer on Eighteenth street, east
of Topeka avenue, and portion OF the
Fifth ward sewer may have to pc re-
constructed because OF the lach VI
sufficient fall.
Sand, mud and refuse have already
filed this length of sewer almost to the
halfway line and seriously fmpedes the
proper drainage of the district that Is
served by it. Though the sewer has
been in use scarcely two years now, the
fact that 1t is SO well filled with sand
and mud indicates that 1T was not con-
structed with proper fall and that its
maintenance in succeeding years Is go
ing to be costly.
F.. G. Dreaming. city attorney. said
today: ''It is probable that this sec
ton will have to be taken up and re-
built AS far as being storm water
sewer it is practically worthless for in
q year OF two more it will be clogged
tight"
over 100 excavations have been
made on the Fifth ward sewer system
and this work has about been COM
pleted and Dunford Brothers. who
have the contract. will be transferred
to the Sixth ward sewer. The excava-
lions were made with the EFFORT to dis
cover If the city had paid for more
rock excavation than had really been
done. AS far as this is concerned it Is
claimed that the results have we'll paid
for the efforts,

cavations will have cost the city
$6,00O,'' said Dreaming, THE finest
thing is that we have discovered some
more inspectors reports and they tally
with our findings to within two-tenths
of an inch, Isn't that fine 2?
The city has not yet engaged addi-
tionaI legal counsel to aid the cfty's
legal department in pushing the prose-
cution of the sewer suits, It is not
probable that anyone will be engaged

PROHIBITION THE KEYNOTE.
Governor Hoch Issues an Original
Thanksgiving Proclamation.

In issuing his Thanksgivir- procla-
nation Governor Hoch takes occasion
to compliment the state on its solid
financial condition which battles the
effects of a panic produced by fiction
of finance outside of our borders
The proclamation says in part:
prohibition, In which Kansas
claims leadership. has made giant
strides until today more than half of
the territory of the United States Is
under Its dominion. The saloon is
doomed Let us thank God for that.
The standard of official integrity has
been lifted and organized greed Is
rapidly losing it's power. The unusual
but temporary condition In financial
circles, caused chiefly by fiction fl.
finance outside of our borders. has
served to show the soliditv of our
financial concerns and the self poise of
our people, and will ultimately result
in greater confidence and still greater
prosperity. That we as people may
see our faults and correct them. that
we may look with charity upon the
faults of others, that we may deal just
Iy and love mercy, that we may be
grateful for all our blessings. let US
devote Thursday. November Is. to
prayer and praise, to heartfelt thanks
giving, and to the doing of good deeds"
