mended by state Inspector and Ex-
amlner c. A. Taylor approximately.

year 1908 amounting to a total of si4.-
ass, ,4ee.ss, include the levy for state
purposes, all counss levies, township

TALK ON TAXES.
Takes Up the Time of the Senate at
Today's Session.

Washington, July 1.-The corpora
tion tax as measure for the defeat
OF the income tax was again the sub
ject of comment in the senate today.
The reference was made by Senator
McCumber. Mr.. Borah, of Idaho,
had resumed his speech which began
yesterday, when he was interrupted
by Senator McCumbeF, who disayoW-
ed any sympathy with Senator Aid
rich's remarks as to his reason for
supporting the corporation tax. He
declared that Mr.. AIdrich had spoken
for himself alone and not for mem
berS of the finance committee gener-
ally.
1.-The personal reasons of that" Cfor
his support of the corporation taz
said Mr.. McCumber referring TO
Chairman AIdrich of the finance COM
mittee, were not put forth as the
reasons which actuated the commit
any respect. He gave them as his own
personal reasons. 1 do not understand
chat a single other member of the
committee agreed with him in that
respect"
SHOULD the senator from North
Dakota not poll the finance committee
before he attempts to voice their
views ?" inquired Senator Clapp.
Denying that he had attempted to
voice the sentiment of the committee,
Mr.. McCumber declared he only want
ed to make clear the fact that Mr..
Aldrich did not voice that sentiment.
come tax to a tax on corporations if
it could be made constitutional.
81 will show later said Mr.. Borah,
mot only from the statement of the
chairman of the finance committee
but will prove beyond doubt that
this corporation tax had its origin in
a desire to defeat the income tax
And when 1t shall have served its
purpose, it will die, as the great lead
er in this chamber said an ignomin-
ions DEATH
In opposing the corporation tax, the
Idaho~senator declared he was follow
ing in the footsteps of leaders of his
party. He recalled the corporation
tax proposed by the ninority, as a
war measure in 1898 declaring it was
not rejected by the Republican ma
Jority as a matter of expediency, not
because the tax was not necessary
but because of the principles it in
volved. He read extracts from
speech by Senator Lodge made in 1898
in strong opposition to the corporation
tax then proposed by the Democratic
minority.

CONVENTION IN TEARS.
Riot Call Brings the Police TO a
Suffrage Meeting.

Seattle. July 1.-The state conven-
ton of the Washington Woman Suf-
frage. association was marked by
scenes Of the utmost confusion and al
most violence.
A faction numbering about fifty, led
by Mrs. Mary Arkwright Hutton. of
Spokane. sought to oust the present
state officers, headed by President
Emma Smith Devoe whose supporters
mum bered about 200.
The report of the committee on
credentials declared the Spokane
delegates not entitled to seats.
On the debate on the report some
of the delegates called others
thieves Glars" and "scoundrels"
and there was hysterical weeping and
screaming. Speakers on both sides
were hissed down. Both sides agreed
upon ousting the newspaper reporters.
one of whom after his exclusion tele-
phoned to police headquarters that a
riot was in progress in Plymouth
church.
A squad of blue coats soon entered
the hall and found the convention in
tears The report of the credentials
committee was adopted and Mrs. Hut
ton on walking out of the hall was
followed by all her adherents. Then
the regulars reelected President De-
voc and chose other officers endorsed
by her.

A GREATER WHITE WAY.
One Block on Kansas Avenue Makes
Fine Showing.

The electric arc lights that have
been placed at intervals of fifty feet
along the entire block on the east
side of Kansas avenue from Seventh
street to Eighth street were lighted
last evening for the first time and
made a fine showing.
It will be a great thing if the other
blocks in the business portion of the
city will follow suit. A handsome and
attractive effect would result which
would be a great advertisement for
the city.
Topeka is behind some other cities
in this respect. Wichita has $50 such
lights.
The start made in Topeka last night
for a Greater White Way" a more
brilliantly lighted avenue, is due to
the enterprise of those who occupy the
locations named and the Topeka Edi-
son company which furnished the
lamps and made low rate for the
current.
1t is worthy of note that every mer-
chant in the block came forward with
his agreement for year. Every mer-
chant in the block is in harmony and
accord on this proposition. This fact
alone is rather wonderful and speaks
we'll for the enterprise of the block in
question. The expense is $2-40 per
that one arc lamp touches every lot
of 25 feet, but the lamps of course are
fifty feet from each other
