RAILROAD VALUATIONS.
Report of Kansas Tax Commission

Back in Kansas there's a state tax
commission which will report today or
tomorrow upon the valuation of rail-
road properties within the state This
report Is awaited with the greatest
interest, as the people of the Sunfiower
state are eager to know If railroad

Southern Pacific will be taxed for $780,

runs from the hard coal fields of
Pennsylvania and having the Boston
