A Few Nuts to Crack

Hon. Geo. Eckert of Aetna has
fred" some hard questions at Hon. T.
A. McNeal Of Topeka, as the following
in last weeks Mail and Breeze shows:
MY friend, George Eckert Of Barber
county, asks few questions that may set
you to thinking:
"'l. A lends $4,000 at 5 pc. cent
interest, income $500 per annum. B
lends $4,000 at 8 per cent, income
$500 per annum. What should be
assessed, capital or income, and if
you say capital, does the state en-
courage Shylockism?
2. The guardian Of the estate Of
an orphan lends out $4,000 at 8 per
cent, income $1,000 per annum. An
officer draws a salary Of $1,000 per an
mum over and above his living. Should
he pay taxes on $4,000?
;. A farmer buys farm for So
600 and clears from tie same $500
per annum. He is taxed en- $4,000,
tie value Of the farm. A lawyer clears
5000 year out of his practice. Should
he also pay taxes on $6,000?'
1T is growing late and the printer
wants this copy. The gentle reader can
figure out his own answers. have al
ready got into more or less trouble by
giving my opinion concerning matters of
taxation.

Do you remember when Ssnator
Beveridge Of Indiana first appeared at
the footlights9 Well. if you do, you re-
call how the republican papers Of Kan
sas-large and small-wi;h one acclaim
heralded him as a gieat statesman and a
most eloquent orator. But now the tune
has changed. Here is what prominent
machine paper had to say concerning
the Indiana senator only week ago:
"A good many insurgent editors in
Kansas who have no conception Of the
gross egotism, the insuferable conceit,
the offensive manner, and the very limited
ability Of Senate, Beveridge, who is the
latest insurgent to be raised to the dizzy
heights, are taking the Chicago Tribune
wcrd for it, and ycu know what that
means"
