Kansas city Convention Hall.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. April 2.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: Replying to your let
ter 1 will say that the rental OF Conven-
ton hall Is governed by circumstances.
and we do not adhere to a fixed schedule.
As general proposition we consider three
hundred dollars $500 a night our mimi
mum rental for the entire building. We
have an arrangement with a seating ca
pacity of 30OO for which we get rental
OF one hundred and fifty dollars (sl5O) a
night Both by the day and by the week,
however, our charges are fixed according
to the circumstances When the enter
tainment is one from which the promoters
naturally expect large returns, we ask a
higher rental than when It is for char
liable or semi-publlc affair, or when the
returns cannot possibly be very great We
try to make the building as useful to the
city as we can, and, therefore. consider
the separate cases as they arise. We
sometimes get 5000 or 500 a. night for
the building, and for such affairs as an
automobile show our rental for six days
is thirty-six hundred dollars (Sa.sOO). In
case OF conventions and public meetings
we make a charge practically covering the
expenses to which the building is put,
ranging from 500 to $50 per day.
am enclosing a copy of our last finan-
oial statement. shall be pleased to give
you any further information.

a subject on which the public would also
be pleased TO have exact information.
There is no mystery about the Interstate
Commerce commission. 1t has a cheerful
way OF keeping itself before the country
and especially the railroads. There Is a
National Monetary commission, which leads
an obscure but prosperous life There is an
International Boundary commission, chiefly
notable as a congenial asylum for lame
ducks" There is a commission that is in
vestigating the physical valuation Of rail.

more are there? There is only one draw

The appropriation should have been made
for the grandstand at the state fair

The duke of Manchester. as he leaves
America for England, advises us to beware
Of an income tax. 1t is a curse to England,
he says, and will prove to be a curse to
America If ever adopted. The English tax
is no doubt curse to the dukes. and by
the same token an American income tax
would be a curse to this particular duke,
who depends so greatly for his state of
idle magnificence upon Papa-in-law Zim-

made. under an American income tax, to
contribute in some reasonable proportion
