Bond Questions Answered

Yes, 3-mill levy will pay five
per cent interest on thirty thous-
and, which is about all the city
will carry under the present val
-uation and a law just passed.
No, it will not be necessary to
create a sinking fund immedi-
ately but if begun now it will re
duce the annual interest charge.
1t may be postponed several
years.
A one-m1n levy would raise
taxes 81 per thousand assessed
valuation, and create a sinking
fund of S615. 1t is easily fig
ured.
Yes, my figures Of last week
were higher than necessary, and
pnrposely, because that is the
safe and sane way to figure.

Topeka Kansas.
March 81, 1909.
Mr.. A. S. Peacock, City Clerk
Wa-Keenhy. Kansas.
DEAR SIR-In answer to your
letter of March 90, 1909, in which
you ask if women are entitled to
vote for the issuance of bonds to
maintain a system of water
works in tho city of -Keenhy,
| have to say:
Women have not such privil-
eye. The right to vote is not an
inalienable right, but only such
as may be granted by statute
Section 646 of the General Stat
utes of 1905 prescribes the only
questions upon which women
can vote in cities of the third
class. Very truly yours,
f. S. JACKSON,
Attorney General.

not many concerned" I will at
tempt to answer some of the
statements in the article handed
you Wednesday evening by s..
M. Hutzel.
I do so without any "reluct-
ance" whatever.
I shall not be funny" if I can
help it.
I shall say but little about
column will do.
Some men are great on the
CLEAN. y Others gather chaff
which even a blind goose would
have more sense than try to swal-
low.
The article is signed &c. I.
w." but as it appears to. have
been written by Mr.. Hutzel on
his typewriter, I absolve G. I. v.
from all responsibility except
his reckless signing of a paper
intended for publication which
reflects upon the common sense
of my neighbors and upon my
honesty, intelligence and verac-
ity and which contains a false or
misleading statement in every
paragraph. Except for these
few little things, G. [. V. is not
to blame.
Perhaps he didn't read the ar
ticle anyway.
Perhaps it is another case of
Dog Tray
But why did Mr.. Hutzel not
sign it himself and thus give the
article some weight and respon-
sibility worthy of ere dence?
G. /. V. calls me by name and
I do not know who he IS. It is
brave to hide out that way.
Fools rush in where angels fear
to tread and my assailant pru-
IDENTIFY takes refuge under Hut
zel'S, coat tails.
Now I shall get down to, bust
ness and ask all sober voters to
compare my present statements
with those to which I refer or
which I aim now answering.
In the World of March Goth [
did NOT estimate the cost of wa
ter works in Wa-Keeney at forty
thousand or at any other figure
/ have seen estimates by four
different engineers and they are
all below thirty thousand.
G.I. V. or Hutzebeck or who
ever he is, says in fact no city
of the third class or even of the
second class has been able, to
float bonds at less than 6 per
cent, and as matter of truth
not all of the first Glass; AS, a
matter of truth, if it were per
MISSILE to- call things by their
right names, the statement above
quoted is a. lie, and [ have the pa
pers. For example, and right at
home, ask Ellis, Kirwin or Alme-
ma and other little Kansas towns
They get money at per cent on
bonds at par, and in some in-
stances they sell at a premium
Perhaps Sambeck wrote his
piece before Investigating 4
asked few questions first be
fore jumping into print.
True for once, I-made no al
lowance for commission on sale
of bonds and none is needed.
The state of Kansas has the first
chance and I am getting inquir-
les every day all the way from
New York to Los Angeles.
The taxes of the careful and
prudent business man who has,
by his industry, accumulated
some property" would not be
doubled. This must have been

intended as a dig at some other
industrious fellows who have not
been accumulators or who have
been willing to loosen up" once
in awhile.
I did not under estimate run
ming expenses and I have the pa
pers to show for it. Hays,
Downs and other towns ran at
profit last year and without cleo
trio lights in connection.
True, some of US have wells
and wind mills but not one has
all the water an enterprising cit
izen would use, and there are
many others who have not sin
gle drop, and some of them are
paying pretty good rent for the
use of waterless premises.
Every voter in Wakeeney is a
taxpayer, directly or Indirectly
and has a right to say what he
should get for his money.
The council has NOT "seen fit
to go the limit for any purpose.
They have only submitted the
question in response to a petition
signed by about one third of the
male voters. Perhaps Sambezel
was not here at that time.
True, fire apparatus costs mo-
ney but there is no evidence that
it will cost S., 500. We had some
apparatus once and I have been
told that the biggest kicker on
the purchase was about the first
man to holler for the juice.
Good telephone service is de-
sirable, but this mention of the
franchise" only lets Samivel's
kitten out of the enclosure as
well as few other felines of the
same color. Well informed people
know that few are kicking on
the water bonds who do not care
a rap about the matter one way
or the other. Let them put in
telephone system. There is no.
thing to hinder
I have published a letter from
Attorney General Jackson which
says women cannot vote ON the
water bond question in Wa-Kee-
ney, and have the original letter
in my possession I told Mr..
Hutzel about this letter twenty
four hours before he took his CO.
py to the printer. Draw Your
own conclusions
Wa-Keeney voters are about to
vote bonds for their own benefit
They are not trying to vote bond
bonus for the benefit of any pri-
vate enterprise, however mer-
itoriouS Who has such an en-
terprise up his sleeve anyhow.
Hutzel or G. l. V?
| admit that good government
is desirable, and further admit
that S. M. HRtzel and others are
just the men to make a demand
for it. When have we had bet
ter? Who was in office them
And what do you expect for two
