CITY UP IN ARMS
Would Make County Turn
Over $4,000 in Taxes.
Money Levied in City but Not
Spent Here.
SAY IT'S UNFAIR TO TAXPAYERS
Believe Part of Road Money
Should Stay in Topeka.
Test Case of Interest to All
Kansas Cities.
SAY IT'S UNFAIR TO TAXPAYERS

The board of city commissioners may
take steps soon to demand upwards
to $4,000 from Shawnee county. 1t
is charged by the city that the county
received in taxes $4,000 from the
city for road and bridge maintenance.
Not one cent of this amount has been
spent inside the city limits. Further
more the county does not intend to
spend any of this amount inside To-
peka's gates.
The city commissioners are not
blaming the county commissioners al
together. They believe that the state
law has something to do with the
tardy expenditure of the city's taxes
to the county. But the city cannot
figure out why it donates $4,000 in
taxes for roads and bridges and not
a penny is spent to maintain Topeka's
streets.
H P. Miller, city commissioner. who
is at the head of the movement be-
test case of the law. He says other
first class cities in the state are having
similar trouble. Commissioner Miller
believes Topeka is having more than
her share of discrimination.
High Levy for Topeka.
The levy in Shawnee county for
road and bridge purposes is eight
tenths of a mill The total valuation
in Topeka is 51,000,000. The Valua-
ton in the county including the city
4
tenth mill tax the city pays $4,000
and the county $4,000 toward the
maintenance of roads and bridges. In
other words the city pays more than
twice the amount paid by the outside
county for the upbuilding of highways
that are not included inside the city
limits.
This is considered unfair. 1t is be-
lieved at the city hall that the levy
should be regulated that the city of
Topeka would receive a part of this
tax for the building of bridges inside
the city limits. Topeka is on the
verge of calling a $4,000 bond issue
for the rebuilding of bridges. Assis-
lance from the county would be ap-
preciated greatly-by the city tax pay
ers and officials
right to levy on the county if the
county has the right to levy on the
city, Commissioner Miller said this
afternoon. II do not think it fair for
the tax payers of Topeka to pay $4O,-
900 for work outside the city limits |
We are only too glad to pay for the
support of the county officers and for
county assessments that prove OF some
benefit to the city but 1 feel that we
should split up on the immense levy
for roads and bridges outside the
city limits.
Now is a good time to make a test
case of this matter am sure num- |
Der of cities in Kansas would Watch
the case with interest and it might |
mean a relief to the tax payers OF the |
city"

Attorney E. S. Waterbury has already |
filed a mandamus suit in the supreme |
court to compel the county to turn |
the road money over to that city.

mere lawyer wants to collect from
Cooper real money for advice rendered

Henry Euler, a Topeka lawyer, is
plaintiff in the action and asks 5000

Judgment He said that Cooper all but
ate and slept in his office a year ago
when Mrs. Cooper brought suit for
divorce. Euler has not the slightest
idea as to the number of running yards
of advice he sold Cooper. Taken as L
single contract, the lawyer thought
$500 claim was quite reasonable.
AS for Cooper, he says he never con-
suited Euler concerning his family af-

case, but said he made no charges for

CHICAGO FREIGHT PILES UP
Strike of Freight Handlers Produces
Great Congestion in City.

Chicago, May S-Trafic in the
freight houses of twenty-three rail
roads entering Chicago is at stand
still. The 5000 striking freight
handlers, including women clerks in
the offices OF the Northwestern and
the Illinois Central railroads, are
standing out in their demands for
higher wages and shorter hours.
Strike pickets did effective work
with the result that the freight houses
are blocked by tons of freight and
loaded cars are standing idle on the
tracks, unable to move. The prog
ress OF the strike was marked by
peace and quiet.
The freight handlers are asking for
an increase of 10 cents a day for men
paid by the day and S. a month for
those on monthly salaries. They
asked for a reduction in the hours
from ten to nine and one-half hours a
day and half holiday Saturday, and
gave the roads the alternative. They
were willing to accept the reduction
in hours at present wages, or take the
wage increase and continue the work
ing conditions as they are.

to be getting most of the stand sale

Use normal conditions by the end of

pressroOms of all the papers are gradu-
ally filling UP and all of the stereo-
typing departments are well manned

Defeat of the unions, so the papers
aver is made certain by the attitude
of James J. Freel national president
of the stereotypers' union. In confer
ence with the members of the pub
fishers association he is said to have
acknowledged himself ready to accede
to their demands. On the authority
of Henry \. Kellogg, chairman of the
standing committee of the American
Newspaper Publishers association, it
is announced that the publishers de-
mands are that Freel withdraw the
charter of the local stereotypers
union and establish a new body, in
which membership shall be limited to
men named by the publishers. The
publishers further reserve the right to
give or withhold employment to mem
bers of the new union.
Mr.. Kellogg declared that President
Freel had agreed to this plan. If
carried out it means that the ringlead-
ers of the present strike will be barred
from working in Chicago newspaper
offices.
The union men point to the an
nouncement that fifty auto truck driv-
ers employed by paper concerns went
out, declaring they would not deliver
white paper to any of the newspapers
against which the strike of the other
five crafts is directed.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Chi

which all union men in Chicago were
urged to stand by the striking unions,
and sympathetic strike of printers

which to tie up the publications and
