WHEAT AVERAGE LOW.
Secretary Smiley Estimates 1t at so to
so Per Cent.

Dodge City, Kan, March 2S.-From so
to so per cent of a wheat crop seems to
be the best that the greater part of the
western Kansas wheat belt can look
for. In some of the counties, which
rank at the top of the wheat producing
district, the crop is almost complete
failure But few of the counties are
making a showing equal to the 1910
crop condition at this season of the
year. The trouble is due to unfavor-
able weather conditions Of the last sew
eral months; and unless conditions i'm
prove it is possible that the conditions
may be even more critical than is now
believed.
E. ]. Smiley, secretary of the Kansas
State Grain Dealers association, has
been making tour of inspection
through this section of the state He
will spend about two weeks on the trip
and will cover the territory in a motor
car. Smiley expects to drive about 800
miles, studying the crop conditions in
each county. In a statement made
here Monday night, Smiley said:
Il have motored through the western
part of Sumner. Harper. Kingman,
Reno, Stafford, Edwards and Ford
counties. The west half of Sumner,
Harper and the south half of Kingman
counties are almost a total failure so
far as the wheat crop is concerned.
Reno and Stafford counties are in good
shape except the stalk wheat which
may produce half crop. Ford county
does not show more than 30 per cent OF
an average crop"

F. H. Quincy, state senator from
Saline county, came to Topeka yester-

the attorney general of this state
should make it a point to aid the at
torneys for three or four big estates in
securing exemption from the payment
of the inheritance tax said Senator
Quincy. "These estates he'd these paid
attorneys before the legislature all
winter, lobbying to secure a provision
in the bill which would exempt their
clients from paying the inheritance
tax already due. The law provided that
the tax on the estates which had not
been paid previous to the passage of
the bill need not be paid, but it did
the money to the small estates which
had paid their small portion Of the tax.
This was just what the big estates
wanted and they got it through the
legislature, but the governor stopped it
by his veto and here the attorney gen
eral is trying to help them out by
bringing suit in the supreme court
to revive the law"

EASTER LILY FAMINE.
Wholesale Florists Say Only Third as
Large as Last Season.

New York, March 2S.-There is to
be a famine in Easter lilies this year.
The crop, according to wholesale flor
lists here, is only about one-third as
'arge as last season. This applies to
the production on American soil. The
quantity of flowers that comes from
Bermuda for the Easter trade is small
compared to the quantity used.
The cause for the decrease in the
crop in this region is said to be lack
of vitality in the plants.
1--WE heard a good deal of the blight
that fell upon the Bermuda lily. a few
years ago, and it is precisely the same
thing that is attacking the plants
here" declares an officer of the
Wholesale Florists association. Bulbs
can not grow in the same soil season

Steamship companies declare that
comparatively few Easter lilies will be
imported this year-probably not
more than 10000 in all. Last season
the total sales by New York whole
salers reached five million blossoms.

1t Proves to Be Larger Than Was
Anticipated.

The seat sale for the Nordica con-
cert opened this morning at STAINS
fields and it was far ahead of the most
sanguine expectations of those man
aging it. The indications point to a
record breaking house.
The public has found that on ac-
count of the immense capacity of the
house and the further fact that on
account of the splendid acoustic
properties of the room, that there is
not much difference in value between
seats, that they can get satisfactory
seat after several thousand are taken,
and for this reason the sale the day
of the concert is usually the best.
ticuIar about the location of their
seats will do we'll to secure them now,
for the sale seems to be progressing
very rapidly. A very encouraging
feature of the sale is the large num-
Der of mail orders that have been re-
ceived from outeof town, notably from
Manhattan, RossUillA, ST. Marys, Hol-
ton, Horton, Alma, Burlingame and

from these places order tickets and
pay railroad fare doubling the expense,
it is pretty certain our own people will

DAWSON MAKES REPLY.
Didn't Examine Inheritance Tax Law
to See Whether Tt Was Bad

John S. Dawson, attorney general,
said today that the question of
whether or not the inheritance tax
law which the governor vetoed and
revive in a suit in the courts. was a
bad bill as it stood never entered his
head. He also remarked that the ques-
ton of aiding the estates of some rich
people never entered his head.
Il stumbled onto the question of the
governors veto through an accident
entirely" said the attorney general. II
was asked to look UP some points in
the old and new law and in doing this
I found what L believed was an error
in that the governor had vetoed the
bill after the bill had actually become
a law. The only question in this suit
is whether or not the veto was a valid
one.
my friend. Senator Quincy. thinks
] am making a mistake in testing the
legality of the veto of the Inheritance
tax law, because it is such bad bill
can not try this case with my friend
in the newspapers, but his capacity
for logic never has equaled his good
ness of heart. If the veto is void it
is my duty to see that the bill is print
ed as an act of the legislature; but
Senator Quincy is willing that 1 should
neglect that duty. And under the old
inheritance act it is my duty to COM
pei the poor as well as the rich to
pay the tax. But some We'll meaning
people say it would be all right if 1
should neglect to enforce the law
against the poor. 1t would raise no
row among some people if 1 should
neglect to enforce the prchibitory law.
1t would be entirely satisfactory to
some if 1 neglected to enforce the anti
trust laws. These Illustrations show
the falIacy of the senator's logic.
Every law, every duty, every respon-
sibility might be evaded or shirked if
the attorney were known to dodge an
unpleasant duty.
s'If the new inheritance tax law is a
bad law 1 am very sorry; but 1 can't
help that: 1 was not a member of the
legislature. Surely, the senator does
not mean to say that we should sneak
out all the bad bills which the legis-
Iature has passed and suppress them
and print only the good ones. Nor is
It by any means clear that the new
inheritance tax law is a vicious act.
of course. if it is upheld the legisla-
ture will be in honor bound to return
the money already collected from di-
rect heirs under the old law. 1t seems
to me that the failure to do that was
only an oversight which the legislature
will correct when it meets again. But
there never has been in all my expert
ence a case where so many members
of the legislature and private citizens
have taken the pains to write to the
attorney generals office urging us to
spare no effort to save the new act.
This is purely a question OF law. The
