THE KANSAS IDEA.

3ness which decreases the earning ca
8nocity OF a large number, at least, of
Its patrons cannot, In the nature of
things. be IA good thing financially for
the community.
The nation Is rapidly adopting these
Fundamental Views OF ours. Prohibition
states now cover more thln haif the
territory OF the United States, and pro-
hibition governs more than half the
people, and our business views OF the.
subject have become even more popu-
lar than our moral views of 1t. The
business world is now great tenn
perance society. No railroad company
wants a drinking cmploye; no mer-
chant a drinking clerk; no one inter
ested in bank, a drinking OFFICIAL ana
the saloonkeeper himself would not ride
comfortably on railroad train If he
knew that the engineer had {; bottln
of liuuor in his pocket. We confidently
expect the Kansas idea to become uni
versal.
Hon. j. F. Hurley, general manager
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fa
Railroad company. recently gave to the
public q letter in which he said that
prohibition had been of immense benefit
to the railroad companies and to their
employees
1t is not an entire success, but moth
ing is in the world. Education has
not entirely banIshed illiteracy and ig-
norance. Religion has not entirely re-
formed the world, nor has prohibition
done away with all the evils of intem
perance, but relatively all these things
are success, in my judgment.

AS TO TAXPAYERS.

Tho News has given the amount
of taxes paid by the so-called 'Amer-
can, candidates for Offices. as shown
by the county records. There is moth
ing offensive In this, nothing to take
exception to. @
The reason for referring to their tax
es is one that seems to us to be of
the utmost Importance. In this City
the so-called American party placed
the government in charge of men that
do not pay in the aggregate. $1,000 a
year In taxes. And these men. at the
bidding of an irresponsible crowd of
party dictators. decided. against the
protest of IL council minority that pay
five or six times that amount and
against the vote of almost half the
taxpayers Of the city, to add 100000
to the public debt and place the homes
Of every hqme.5owVners under an addi-
tionHl 3mortgHge.'at,i
Now, the same game will be repeat
ed in the County. if the Americans
capture the Offices, At the bidding
of the party despots efforts will be
made to plunge the County in debt and
increase the taxes on every home.
Some time ago a Tribune writer fore
Swallowed the policy OF increasing the
taxes on farm property. The citizens
are therefore Interested in the finan-
cial status of the tools by which the
American party dictators propose
to carry out their financial plans. What
{c |,Nt,> tai rciI f1-2 rc,
such that they can safely be entrust-
ed with the financial management of
the County?
There Is no reflection in this on
their moral standing. A citizen may
be very good and yet not capable of
managing Il large business concern.
The News" has not cared to scar,
the tax lists to ascertain the amounts
paid by the candidates of other parties
for the simple reason that there is no
other party whose policy it is to grab
the peoples property by means of ex-
cessivh taxation. The American" party
tools have raised the taxes in the City
annually for several years; the Amer
! ican'' party tools have spent the million
| dollars borrowed under former adj
lnnistration. in a way entirely differ
snt from that pledged by the admin
| istration when the loan was asked for;
| the American" party tools have spent
millions more in the form of Special"
| taxes; they have refused to account to
| the people as required by law: the
American" party tools have added to
the Indebtedness of the City, to the
utmost limit, but they are again talking
of another loan or special tax to the
amount OF half million dollars. No
other party has announced such a
policy of eXtravagant, not to say Grim
| inal, financiering. The voters have n
right to know something about the fin.
| ancial status of the tools by which the
American party dictators propose to
carry out their policy in the County and
the State.
