We understand the new plant
of the Virginia Mining Co. is
doing exceptionally fine work.
This plant is equipped with a
new jig which handles three
| times as much dirt as the ordi-
nary steam JIG, and cleans the
ore to perfection. The Virgin
las new mill is the first in the
entire lead and zinc district to
use this jig, and so nice does it
work that orders for more than
a dozen have already been given
the manufacturers.
The Legislature refused to pass
a two-cent fare law, But there

An amendment to the new tax
law was passed by the recent ses-
sion of the last Legislature which
prohibits taxing bodies from
raising more than two per cent
more money than would have
been raised by the old system,
unless the increase is for legiti-
mate purposes, such as paying
off a debt or judgment, or for
some special improvement. 1t
was feared that some fool taxing
bodies would not know what sort
of a levy to make under the new
order of things.
We wish somebody would en-.
Tighten us a little about how

tie? People never object to the
payment of taxes, even if they
are high, if they get value re-
ceived, but what have they re-
ceived for all the money they
have paid out?
Governor Hoch very promptly
vetoed the bill providing for an
insurance company to guarantee

VIC are glad he had spunk enough
to do il. The people of Kansas
demand and will have a law
guaranteeing the bank deposits,
and if the present fool Legislature
does not have sense enough or
spunk enough to give them such
a law, then some other legisla-
ture will. And it is not likely
the next legislature will have the
same personnel as the present
one.
