AS TO BANK DEPOSITS.

There is a misrepresentation in some
quarters concerning a feature of the
new state tax law, and this caused an
error in a statement made by the
Leavenworth Times, recently quoted
in an editorial in these columns. The
Times said: 1.-The new law, If it is ap-
piled literally, will give to the tax as
SCISSOR power to inquire at the banks
as to the ownership of every dollar on
deposit, and this therefore can not
escape taxation"
Mr.. William MacFerran of the State
Savings bank, calls attention to the
fact that this is really exactly oppo-
site to a specific provision of the new
law, section 81 of which is as follows:
mo tax commissioner, assessor or
deputy assessor shall have the power
to compel the production OF the books
of any bank or to examine the same;
nor shall any officer of any bank be
compelled to testify as to the contents
of any of the records of such book or
produce the same for the purpose of
examination in any matter relating to
assessment or taxation"
The object of the law is to secure
this Information from the taxpayers
themselves and not from the banks.
The taxpayer must either tell about
his bank deposit or else perjure him
self. The bank, however, is freed from
responsibility in the case.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.

1t is no wonder that nature takers
are promptly called down at the
White House. The gentleman who
presides over the affairs of this nation
has unusual facilities for studying
nature at close range. If you have
any idea that President Roosevelt
does not know from personal observa-
ton the things he relates about
natural history. just read this incident,
given editorially in the Washington
Post. It describes graphically a
White House lesson in nature, given
just before the president started on
his western trip:
"a small boy and three snakes,
when aided and abetted by the prest-
dent of the United States, are capable
of instilling life and agility into the
most sedate persons, as was illustrated
at the White House on Thursday.
Quentin Roosevelt, the ten-year-old
son of the president, having acquired
temporary possession OF a large king
snake and two smaller reptiles. placed
them in a paper bag and fastened to
his father, bent upon obtaining par
entail permission to keep them. His
father at the moment happened to be
engaged with Attorney General Bona
parte discussing the constitution of
Oklahoma. Although the accounts
vary somewhat it seems to be clearly
established that when the lad opened
the bag and permitted the snakes to
emerge the attorney general hastily
dropped the Oklahoma constitution
and sought refuge on higher ground.
His only comment upon the change of
subjects, so far as can be learned by
diligent inquiry, was compressed into
one syllable:
TWow!
Having obtained the opinion of the
attorney general, Quentin began ne
gotiations with his father for the per-
manent retention of the snakes, when
it was discovered that the big snake
had partly swallowed a smaller one.
The president, 1t is said, instantly
practiced his preachment of the
souare deal by forcing the big snake
Nemesis of the trusts. who by this
time was perched upon the high back
of chair, with protruding eyes rivet-
ed upon the snakes. AS soon as the

where Col. Pete Hepburn and two
other statesmen were in waiting.

after repeated trials is not exactly
clear. Major John F. Lacey, of Iowa,

doubt, to amuse the lad. The large

OUR WATERWAYS.

In his speech at ST. Louis yester-
day President Roosevelt discussed the
subject which is responsible for his
present trip, the development of our
inland water system.
This is a subject which has forged
to the front tremendously in the last
year or two There was once a time,
before railroads were as common as
they are now, when river traffic on
the Mississippi and the Ohio was an
important factor in our transportation
system. But the railroads, with their
speedier facilities, have taken most of
the traffic away from the rivers and
the waterways have relatively fallen
into disuse. But their very existence
has served to keep down freight rates
between those points which they
touch.
Now, however, the railroads are
willing that river traffic should be re-
vived. The business of the country
has become so great that the railroads
cannot keep up with it. If they could
turn over a portion of the lower
grades of freight which go at a low
rate to the waterways. they could
make more money by having their
equipment to use for high grade
freight which pays higher rates.
But large sums of money will have
to be spent on the rivers to make
them most useful as means of trans
portation, and 1t is to look the ground
or water, perhaps-over that President
Roosevelt is making this trip. He IA
vors the development of the rivers on
a conservative scale, and he points out
that such a policy, while being OF the
greatest benefit to the Mississippi val
ley, will also in a measure benefit the
entire country, just as will the Pana-
ma canal.

produced such results. From fifteen
acres sown to alfalfa Mr.. Saunders
has harvested this year, 80 tons of hay
which is worth $3.50 per ton. Las,
week he threshed from the same f1f-
teen acres los bushels of alfalfa seed,
worth So per bushel and has ten tons
of straw worth 81 per ton, making an
income of $1,165 from the fifteen
acres Two years ago Mr.. saunders
purchased this land at $50 per acre
and last spring offered to sell 1T at $75
per acre but Fortunately changed his
mind and decided not to sell before a
buyer CHANGED his way. Now the land
has yielded $71.66 per acre and is not
for sale.
