Mr.. Stubbs' campaign fund. These
roads were the Santa Fe, Rock Island
and Union Pacific.
"The square deal movement in
Kansas was born sometime IN jan
uary. 1904. with Walter Roscoe
Stubbs physician in charge. The
square dealers, for some reason,
wanted to defeat Governor Bailey for
denomination. Bailey was popular and
the square dealers needed money.
They had to have money to defeat
Bailey, and according to an ancient
the railroads. They particularly ap-
pealed to the Missouri Pacific rail-
road. and that company gave
them $4,000.
'It will be remembered that Reno
county was the first of the important
counties to hold a primary that year.
The fight between Bailey and the
square dealers in that county was hot
and heavy, but the square dealers with
their Missouri Pacific money. carried
the county for Hoch. 1t has been
said that it cost them $4,000 of their
Missouri Pacific money to do it.
"As has been said, the railroad
company has given them $4,000 and
to make it a square deal, worthy of
bunch of square dealers, they had
to give the railroad company some
thing, and in view of these facts the
assessment of the Missouri Pacific is
significant In 1903 the assessment
of that railroad company in Kansas
in round numbers was $1S,000,000.
For 1904 (the year of the contribu-
tton) the assessment of that railroad
company was in round numbers S12,-
100000. In 1905. after the movement
had somewhat subsided, the assess
ment of that railroad company was
again, in round numbers, $13,000,000.
A gentleman who is apt at figures says
that this reduction for 1904 saved the
railroad company $4,000 in taxes.
Great is the square deal and Stubbs,
its high priest.
1--WE want the farmers of Kansas to
compare the taxes they pay in 1908
with the taxes they have paid in prev
tous years, and then give Mr.. Stubbs
and his boss busters all the credit
they deserve. Do it before election"
