population Of the county that year
when the state levy amounted to
$4223.45. The year 1908 was
about the same, there being
S4t80.16 sent out for the state.
The gradual raise in taxes during
the past three years may not be
attributed to the increase of pop
ulation in the state, for the indica-
tons are really that the popula-
ton has decreased during that
period. The main cause in the in
crease in the cost of running the
affairs of Kansas seems to be the
hiring of a great army of inspect
ors who loaf nine-tenths of the
time, and get paid by the state for
being so fortunate as to hold an
appointive Office from Stubbs. 1t
is the farmer vote of the state
which elected Stubbs, not the vote
of the republican party, and the
farmer is paying right we'll for
his choice in the matter this fall.
as he has done in the past two
years. While the many friends
of the Stubbs administration here
may not like this situation, the
fact remains that the taxes are
higher, and that Stubbs promised
an economical administration
two things which are not readily
reconciled under the present cir
cumstances.

About Wooden Blankets

The coming election of q con-
gresham to represent the Seventh
District will be one which will turn
not so much on the personalities
of the men who are running for
the office, as it will reflect the sem
timent of the people of this part
of Kansas, on the issues which will
confront the people in the next
Pre-. idential election. The fight
will be of principles mot men or
perhaps we might say, even part
les.
On one side will be an elderly
man, one of the declared standpat
republicans of the district; on the
other will be an energetic pro-
gressive young man. The fight
be largely made on the tariff issue
and the popular election of sena-
tors. These are two of the most
important problems before the
American people today.
The tariff situation was we'll dis
cussed and illustrated by Champ
Clark in his speech at Dodge City
last week. He took for an exam
pie the tariff which imposes the
duty on the wooden blankets which
are generally used in this section
of the country. On these blankets
there is a tariff of 40 cents pound,
Now how many people in Seward
county have bought blankets by
the poundq Probably none at all.
The tariff duty on blankets was
indicated by the price per pound
not because it was necessary or
customary, not at all. The duty
was placed at 40 cents per pound
so that the general public-the
people, who might later want to
know about that-would be de-
ceiyed, or would not be able to
find out anything at all about the
schedule. There is also a duty of
30 percent ad Valorem, and spe-
ci6c duty of 81 cents on the
same article. How many people
know what that meansY Probably
not one in the country. These
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-11-17

items were so placed in the tariff
schedule drawn by Paine and AL
drich not for convenience of the
government in reckoning the
amount due the government, but
for the purpose of fooling the peo-
pie. Is it any wonder that the
people are blutfed out, when the
republicans claim that they did
reduce the wool schedule in the
revision9 During the year 1909,
there were only $4,000 worth of
wooden blankets imported into the
United States. This was done BY
a party of hunters, who we're
caught in a storm in Canada, while
on q hunting expedition. They
bought the blankets for $40. 20 and
were forced to pay $50.60 duty
on the blankets when they
brought them in. The tariff on
wooden blankets such as we use
here, under the above complicated
schedule figures out at 182 percent
yet there has never been this sort
Of information given out by re-
publicans in their discussions Of
the tariff.
The total amount spent in the
United States last year for wooden
blankets probably exceeded one
million dollars, ($1,OOO,OOO) and
of this amount, not dollar went
to the United States for the sup
port of the government, but the
protection duty of 1925 percent
went into the pockets of the Wool
Trusts, otherwise known as the
American Wool Co. of Boston.
This is only one of a thousand in
stances which might be cited to
illustrate the predicament into
which The tariff has forced the peO-
pie of the country. We hardly
believe this district will elect a
man who will go to Washington
with the ayowed intention of sup
porting such measures as the
Payne--Aldrich tariff law, under
which we are now being robbed.
The spirit of the west is too fair
and too independent of party con-
troll to stand for that sort of thing
for a very long time. It may be
be possible for the administration
to fool them part of the time, but
not for any very long time.

Seward County And The
State Levy

Inere mas De6n COnSlucraOl6 GULL
plant this year because of the in
crease in taxes. There are numer-
GUS reasons given for the present
high taxes, but there is possibly
no single one which includes all of
the possible causes for the steady
rise in taxes in Kansas, and also
Seward county for the past four
years. The law under which prop
erty is now assessed and the taxes
are levied, was enacted in 1909. at
which time it was generally said
that the new law would raise only
the taxes of the dishonest people,
who, prior to that time, had failed
to give in the true valuation of
their property.
Specific instances of the raise of
taxes on property are too numer-
GUS to mention, but a fair illustra-
tion is found in quarter Of land,
on which the taxes we're $14.10 in
1909, as compared with $29.50 in
1911. No improvements have been
built on this piece of land, and it
has not been divided into town lots
or plated as a town. 1t is the
same bare quarter section of land
today, as it was in 1909, with a
fence around it, and a few cattle
running there for pasture. Not a
bit of it has been put under cult
walton, and 1T yields the owner no
revenue, yet taxes have increased
over 100 per cent in four years,
and that under a republican adj
ministration whick promised in the
start to lower the taxes, and save
money for the state. This was
the alleged economical Stubs adj
ministration.
The state levy for Seward coun-
ty in 1908 was .0007 or a fraction
less than of a mill. In the fol-
lowing year, 1909, the levy was
raised to .000l2, and the state took
$3829,51 from Seward county for
our share for running the state
government. In 1910, the levy
was reduced to an even mill, and
the amount drawn by the state
from the treasury of Seward coun-
ty was $7699,52. During the pres
emit year, the state levy is again
high being .0012, which has so far
drawn from Seward county
5000 81, including the balance to
date. 1t is probable that another
draft will be drawn on us by the
State Treasurer, which will run
the total again over the $1,000
mark. In 1905, there was a small
sum sent to Topeka, only $3319.61
and in 1906, $3406.00. In 1907,
there was fair increase, which
was quite in keeping with the

BRIGHTEN
AWAY BURGLAR
Midnight Prowler Gets Into Chh-
dren's Dormitory in House of
Good Shepherd.

Half a hundred orphaned Riddles,
screaming In terror with all the pow
err they possess, are enough to fright
en- away whole regiment of thieves.
So II was no wonder that a midnight
visitor TO the House of the Good
Shepherd, Fort and Nineteenth-st.,
found that he had entered the dormi-
tory used by the children.
The would-be thief, IL he came on
burglary bent, probably selected to
enter by the windows OF the orphans
dormitory, because those are the only
windows of the building that are not
equipped with gratings.
He placed ladder on little
porch against the open window and
easily made the ascent. he found no
trouble getting in, as the window was
open. Once inside the place. his first
care was to turn on two electric
lights, one at each end OF the long
room.
One of the children finally awoke
and at sight OF the dim outlines OF
the midnight visitor, screamed Justify.
The fellow roughly ordered the child
to make no noise. This had no ef-
feet however. The noise awakened
other children, however, and In an
instant, the place was in an uproar.
The intruder thought discretion the
better part of valor and he hurried
ly retreated by the same window he
had entered.
Police headquarters was notified
and the flying squadron made hur-
ried trip to the scene The intruder
had made good his escape. Owing to
the darkness, 1t was impossible to
get a good description of the man.
Detectives are working on the case.
