Commercial Club Not Behind
Anti-Canine Legislation.
Only Necessary to Pay Dog
Tax, Miller Says.

This is one time when Bone will
have to s~ynpathize with the dog" re-
marked Commissioner Roy l.. Bone, in
speaking of the ordinance designed 10
deprive the bow-wows of the city the
liberty to run at large. The ina
was prepared under the direction of
W. H. Kemper. chairman of the md
nicipal legislation committee OF the
Commercial club.
Due to a misleading statement in a
Topeka paper a number of irate cit1-
gems came before the commissioners 10
protest against the ordinance. They
had been led to believe that the ordi-
nance would come up for considera-
ton today. but such was not the case.
The attitude of Commissioner Bone
was that identical with that of the four
commissioners. and consequently it IS
a foregone conclusion that the ramb-
lings of the canine tribe in Topeka
Will not be disturbed. The ordinance
will be shelved next Monday.

said.
I'VE have work tina is of a more
important character than mixing up
in things of that Sort said Secretary

Secretary Kelley denied the Commercial
club was behind the ordinance. He in
timated that Mr.. Kemper. who is at
the head of the municipal legislation
committee of the club had gone ahead
without consulting the club on the
question.

So E. l.. Bux Asks Court to Stop Occu-
patton Tax Collection.

Another injunction suit was filed
against the city today when E.. l.. Bux
asked Judge Dana to stop the opera
ton of the occupation tax ordinance.
Bux says the measure is oppressive.

Judge Dana has promised to listen TO
the contention at some later date.
In the the city is re-
strained from collecting taxes under
the ordinance. Bux, who is an auc-
tioneer, is compelled under the ordi-
nance to pay $50 a year for his pur-
suits of a livelihood. He says that last
year he held just 81 street sales and
after paying all operating expenses,
found he had a net profit of $67 for the
years business. If he had given the
city $50 of the amount, he would haze
81 for the years work. On
this basis BuX insists there is some
thing wrong and asks the court to in-
terfere.

An Appreciation.

We wish to th7nk u congressman
for a nifty package of garden seeds
sent from Washington for our special
use. 1t is nice to be thus remembered
by one who is far away in a strange
land and it beats a picture postcard
forty ways. There is a practical value
to a package of congressional garden
seeds which appeals. We had them
cooked I'D for breakfast his morning
and while they We're fair, it must be
remembered that has gone
Democratic recently and the favor of
the garden seeds IS bound to be some
what more biting and pessimistic than
formerly, but we thank the thought
full congressman just the same We
have eaten his garden seeds several
years and they are all right.

Esperanto.
It's pretty midd1in' hard to see why
anyone should want to
Speak that nerve Earring line of talk
that's known as Esperanto.
1t seems as though there's enough
strange languages here now
They souldn't force another one upon
us, you'll allow.

known to hammock spoOners,
And is so very popular with all the
infant ~ers,
Is one hat has beea hard to learn, for
it is of a style
That's never spoken twice alike and
changes all the while
The language of the souse is one of
very weird creation,
And it cannot be understood without
interpretation.
student of ~plilo1ogy can always
guess it right,
So for the common herd to try seems
to be foolish, quite.
The line of talk the brakeman gives
keeps all the people guessing.
And it goes way pas most of us, we
do not mind confessing.
The college jargon is a thing that few
can understan-
And there's a weird old line of CAB in
bleachers and ~grandstand
That makes this Esperanto stuff sound
weak and pale and foolish
When fans get fussy in the ninth with
talk that's really ~ghoulish.
1t keeps a person busy just to try and
get the hang
OF conversation pulled off in the latest
brand of slang.
Then come the foreign dialects. the
French and Dutch and Russian.
This Esperanto may be just what it's
friends claim, sublime.
But when it comes to learning it, we
really haven time.
