Monkeying With the Inheri-
tance Tax Law.
(Topeka Capital.)


= petition is being circulated
among nominees for the legislature
tor the repeal of the inheritance tax
law, the author of the petition being
one of the heirs of an estate Of
SI57S56.
ltis the wealty people of the state
who are seeking to defeat Inheritance
taxation. The same class by tricky
arrangements with banks or other
friendly corporate instituti, ms evade
the personal property tax on much
of their property. This evasion
goes on constantly in spite of the
recent reform tax law. The inberi.
tanee tax is not heavy tax, but i,
does in the end to a slight extent get
back for the state taxes that have
been evaded.
That, however, is not the object
OF the inheritance tax nor the areu-
ment for it. The argument for the
tax is, in brief, that it answers better
than any ether tax the essentials of
Just taxatioh-it is certain, it is
most easily collectible, it is an
equitable tax, it falls on those best
able to sustainit, it cannot be ? flied
to the backs of the poor, 1t cannot
be evaded by some while paid by
Others.
A pledge of the Republican State
platform this year is for the amend
ment Of the inheritance tax law, so
far as the rates ON direct inheritance
are concerned. If IT'S the opinion
that these rates are somewhat high,
they can be reduced. But Kansas
should not monkey much with this

most approved schedule of rates
that the experience of the whole
civilized world Endorsed. IuheTi-
tance taxation is just and is beGom-
ing practically universal in all
countries. There is no dispute that
here property does pay its tax,
whereas it is extremely doubtful
whether property pays its tax under
most tax arrangements, that are
calculated to shift the burden on
down from owner to tenant, from
seller to purchaser, and in the end
load it upon consumption rather
than property.

The Water Bonds.

Next Saturday the voters OF
Chanute will again vote on the
water bond proposition
There can be no doubt about Our
needing extensions and improve
ments to our water service.
Everybody seems to admit that
the city water is unfit for use and
that we cannot get enough OF 1t IN
a dry time and that the fire pressure
is woefully deficient, yet, from
some cause there is great deal
of dissatisfaction with the bond
proposition and determination on
the part of a number of our promi-
nent men to defeat the proposition
if thev can. We also find kind OF
determined silent opposition on the
mart of many that augurs the defeat
of the proposition. Some how the
neople are dissatisfied and not in
mood to vote additional burdens on
themselves.
We have been going pretty fast
on city improvements the last two
years and the burdens OF taxation
are being felt. The street improve
ments continue to be pushed ana
taxes advance each year. Many
are of the opinion that these things
should stop awhile till we get
caught up little. Others are
ut satisfied with the plans OF the
.cil with reference to securing
xater supply, and so 1t goes,
there is opposition on every haha
and every one seems to have a
~ritvance of his own.
We surely need more and better

can be reached.
The meeting Monday night
proved to be far from a harmony
meeting and no good was accom-
plished.

Economic Justice.

(By F. w. Blackmar, Professor of
Soc ology and Economics, University
of Kansas
The great problem before the
world today is the establishment of
economic justice in industrial life.
Political liberty and civic rights
have been well nigh achieved by the
struggles of former generations. The
question before the people today is
to what extent and in what manner
law shall control the affairs in the
economic world. There has been a
great advance in recent years in
regard 10 methods of business.
Industrial affairs have been placed
on a higher moral plane than
formerly. There is feeling among
all right thinking people which
amounts to demand that justice
shall be established and pracuced
in the industrial world as well as in
the political. Many OF the ofd
questions which were formerly of
vital importance have been practi'
cally settled, ard it is now time tor
organized labor and organized
capital to advance to higher plane
of action IN the settlement of their
disputes.
1t is generally conceded that
labor has right to organize, and
right to demand terms from its
employer, to make contracts, and,
SO far as legal authority is con-
cerned, has a right to strike, 1t j:
conceded that the wage Garner
ought to have living wage and
fair share of the products resulting
from improved machinery and busi'
ness invention; that the eight hour
day is just and right and sufficient
for all purposes; and that the life
and health and business interests
Of the laborer should have ample
protection. 1t is also eencedee
that capital has a right to fair preht'
on its Investments; that 1t has
right to organize and to protect IT
interests; and that the laws OF thu
land should give employers Jus
protection. Having conceded these
it is time to move TO newer ant
larger problems. 1t is time to de
mand a new method of ssttlemen
of disputes between capital AM
labor. Whatever service the strik

What's the matter with MaineF
A big lot of Republicans voted the
Democratic ticket in that benig hted

cratic legislature and about every
thing else In sight. Poor old Maine !!

continuous service in such industries.
It is quite within their rights to
make such a demand, for every
good government should guarantee
to the public continuous service In
those enterprises which are essential
to public welfare.
A coal miners stllke is unjust to
the community and frequently causes
much suffering among the people.
Coal mining is an industry that
affects nearly every family outside
of the natural gas belt. There is no
reason or justice in allowing the
strife between operators and miners,
comparatively few in number, to
seriously Interfere with the comfort
and we'll being of the entire com :
muRity.
Organized laborers In their strug.
gle for higher wages, for protection
and economic justice toward them
selves, likewise have frequently for
gotten the larger civic duties. They
have narrowed the struggle to them
selves when it should have been
conducted on a broader basis of
human welfare. Labor organizations
are a part of a community and
should feel SO, and they should work
towards community rights, com
munity welfare, and community
progress. The same may be said
in regard to corporations. They
are too narrow and self h in their
life. The struggle that is now going
on to force vested property interests
and corporate wealth to contribute
to the general welfare of the com
munity is not against property itself
nor against organized wealth, but
against the practice of corporate
greed which forgets the welfare of
the people who make corporate
wealth possible. Ii is not intended
to deal u9justly with capital, but to
force 1t to be decent when it would
act otherwise.
1t is time for both capital and
labor te understand that the ques
lion that they are attempting TO
settle is a social question and that
the community, through wise and
just laws, is the only agency thai
may establish it. In the name oil

Nothing Lost by II.

4 Young mau had been In business
for hi2iself but short time when the
Mary tnd State Christian Endeavor
con,' 'rion was held In his city. His
BUSH Ess required very close attention
on .rrount Of bis being a begin
ner. At the same time he was au Of
ficer In the state union and felt that
his tllty was rs much to the conven-
ton as to the business. For the few
days before the convention he was I'M
decided what he should do. but at the
time If the opening session he was on
hnnl and each day spent large part
of his time at the convention perform
ing the duties that belonged to his Of
fice. Each morning he attended the
early Quiet Hour service and at that
time asked God for direction through
the day. And each day he spent part
Of the time at his Office and part at the
convention. Some Of his friends told
him he was neslecting his business
and would lose by it. but he felt that
his first obligation was to God and
that He would look out for the rest.
And so it happened. During the sec.
Ond and third days OF the convention
business came to his office almost un-
solicited. and telephone calls that he
attended to between sessions brought
him the largest volume OF business he
had for the month. In fact. he said
the business be had In those three
days amounted to as much as he had
during all. the rest Of the month. and
all because he had FIRST served God
