SOME STUBS SENTIMENT.

| Whether one likes it or not the indi-
cations are that the most potent po-
litical factor in Kansas today is w. R.
Stubs. Whether this is due to the
opposition of certain political ele-
ments. or to Mr.. Stubbs own person.
ality may be a disputed question. but
the fact remains.
Mr.. Stubs is standing for what the
people want, and that does not detract
from his popularity. If those who de-
sire to sidetrack him politically are
not more successful in the coming
months than they have been the past
| summer, the people of Kansas are
liable to give Stubs anything he asks.
He is making speeches over the state
this summer. and he is talking govern
ment and not politics. yet wherever he
goes he leaves a tremendous amount
of Stubs political sentiment behind.
For instance. a short time ago he
made an address at the OberIin Chau-
tauqua, and the Oberlin Times in its
next issue said:
1T seems safe to say that should
Mr.. Stubs become a candidate for
governor he will have the support of
Decatur county and if he decides to
stay out of the race for governor and
become candidate for United States
senator. the member from this coun-
ty. be that member Republican or the
present Democratic member Stubbs
will get the vote of the county for
senator Stubs talks right and IL he
is honest and sincere and our people
think he is, it is eminently proper and
safe to say, even so far ahead of cleo
ton. that Decatur county stands for
the principles in politics advocated by
Roscoe Stubbs."
Another place where Mr. Stubs re-
Gently spoke was Jewell Citv and the
Jewell Republican. at the close of a
long article about La Toilette, makes
this statement:
ED Howe says La Toilette is worth

TAXATION.

The discovery made by Tax Commits
sioner Howe that a Shawnee county
farm which recently sold for $4,000 is
carried on the tax rolls at $500, is no
great surprise. The same condition ex-
lists in all parts of the state to greater
or less extent.
1t is commendable that the tax
commissioners propose to insist that real
estate shall hereafter be assessed at its
real value. but there is another PROPOSE
ton that is even more urgent, and that
is to see that money and notes and
mortgages are properly assessed.
Real estate is tangible property and
always pays at least some taxes. but
the great bulk of money and mortgages
pays no taxes whatever. Last spring
there was approximately $3.50, o00. 900 on
deposit in Kansas banks-to say nothing
of what people had outside of banks
yet only about $5.O00,oO0 was returned
for taxation. Probably the same pro-
portion held true as to the notes and
mortgages.
The plea is made, of course, that real
estate gets off with an assessment of
perhaps one-sixth or one-seventh of its
actual value, while money and its equiv
alent would be assessed at one-third in
the some community. many a man
with money looks upon this as justifca-
ton for not returning his money for
taxation, but it makes the burden many
times heavier on the man who is honest
enough to report all his property.
The tax commissioners propose to
greatly increase the list Of questions
that must be answered and sworn to by
the property owner in the future. Among
other questions, the property owner
should be asked how much money he
has either on deposit in any bank or in
his possession or control, and also to
list all his mortgages and notes. Then
if the property owner chooses to commit
perjury he must take the chances, and
with all property assessed at actual
value every one will be on an equal
footing.
The taxation question is difficult one
to solve, but 1t is to be hoped that the
new law may have a fair trial and that
the tax commissioners may make its
workings satisfactory to the fair-mind-
ed citizen who is willing to bare his
share of the expense of government.

| hundred ordinary congressman, ana
| that is true. It would be grand thing
| If Kansas would send senators to
Washington who would fight with him
for the rights and liberties of the peo-
pie instead of fighting against him on
man in this state. A man who. like
La Toilette, has the enmity of the ma
chine and has taken his cause to the
people. His name is w. r. Stubbs-
Nebraska has already sent a man of
this stamp to the senate and Kansas
should begin her preparations right
now to do likewise.
From Jewell City. Mr.. Stubs went
to Randolph. Riley county. where he
addressed a large gathering. and the
Manhattan Republic contains this
reference to him:
while at Randolph last week we
talked with representative Republicans
from northern Riley county and since
publican farmers and business men
regarding their choice for the next
governor of Kansas and we find that
the sentiment is very strong for w. r.
Stubs and there is no sentiment for
anybody else now. Several farmers
have called at the Republic office dur
ing the past week. some of them just
bility of supporting Stubs for COVER
nor. Many of them would like to join
an organization to promote his candi-
dacy. There is no doubt that If Stubbs
finds that the people are for him for
governor that he will be glad to make
the race"
Even If a state convention Is held
instead of direct primary, Mr.. Stubs
is liable to control 1t.

TIE CHANGE OF TIME.

| 1t does not take many years to
| bring about great changes of senti-
ment in this country. When the Pop
ulist orator of a decade ago talked
| about the robber corporations he was
regarded as a menace to the country.
and if he suggested sending predatory
rich men to Jail he was dangerous
anarchist Now the president of the
United States and members of his
cabinet not only suggest such a thing,
but they propose to do 1t.
"A year ago." says Joseph L. Bris-
tow, in commenting on the presidents
speech, when a Republican in the
Kansas campaign spoke as the presi-
dent did at Provincetown and Indian
apolis he was severely criticised by
the Republican machine organization
of this state and styled a 'Populist.'
Now the machine leaders pretend to be
in sympathy with Roosevelt and Taft,
but they are still criticising and have
declared a political ostracism for the
men in Kansas politics who have
stood with the president and Taft
from the beginning. The same policy
will be pursued in Kansas next year
that was pursued in the last cam
paign. The machine politicians and
the railroads will favor any kind of
resolutions that the people want, pro-
vided the people will let them have the
candidates for the offices, then, after
the election is over and the resolu-
lions have served their purpose, an
other senate lodge will defeat any
desirable legislation, and another
board of railroad commissioners will
mildly ask the railroads to do some
thing which they will decline-and
the people will be permitted to con-
tinue to complain and pay the freight.
This will be the result unless the Re-
publicans of Kansas assert themselves
at the primaries and conventions next
year
Mr.. Bristow knows whereof he
speaks from personal experience, but
the present indications are that the
people will run things the coming
year.
