The TAXES
City Plans on Decrease for
Coming Year.
First Time in History of Com
mission Form.
NEED NO EMERGENCY FUND
City Has Not Touched Sum
Raised for 1885, 700.
City Hall Preparing Annual
Budget for 1918.

Unless an unforeseen expense stares
the city of Topeka in the face between
now and the last of December and
it is necessary to dip into the emer-
gency fund, it is expected with con-
f1dence that the city levy for the year
1913 will be lowered. This will be the
first time in the history of the COM
mission form of government that a
reduction in taxes will be enjoyed by
Topeka's taxpayers
Roy L. Bone, city commissioner of
finance and revenue, has sent a notice
to all commissioners asking them to
have their budgets prepared before
July Is. A hasty review of the de-
partment heads reveals the fact that
nothing unusual is contemplated for
1913. This means that several extra
expenses for 1912 will not be dupli-
Gated next year and it will be possible
to slice the new levy.
A preliminary budget shows that for
the coming year in all probability more
than $4,000 will be saved over the
funds set aside for the year 1912.
This alone would reduce the levy
from so cents to go cents and would
mean no little saving in the gross.
The budget made last year for this
war Included the following unusual

SUPT. EBY MAKES REPORT
Statement Based on Property
Valuation for 1911.
Relative to Amount Needed for
New School Building.

John r. Knox today received a let
ter from John F. Eby, county super
1ntendent, replying to questions rela-
tive to the valuation of district No.
AZ CShorey) where an election Will be
held to decide whether or not to vote
bonds for a new building. In the
state Journal Friday a statement was
made that the new building would re-
quire tax of about $40 per thousand,
based on rough estimate. However,
Mr.. Eby says that based on the valu-
alton of 1911. the valuation for 1912
is not available, a levy of S22.50 on
each $1,000 valuation would be needed
to raise S10,4e0 in nine years time or
$2.25 each year per thousand for ten
years.
The letter in full follows:
Shawnee County, Office of County SUI
perintendent.
Topeka. Kan. June IS. 1912.
Mr.. w. r. Knox, North Topeka, Kan.
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of re-
cent date, relative to valuation and
cost of district No. AZ, permit me to
say that the valuation in 1911 was
$463,145. The 1912 valuation is not
available as yet.
On the 1911 valuation a levy of a
per cent or S2225 on each $1,000 val
uation in the district. would raise
$10,42o in one years time.
can readily see that you would need
to pay $2.25 per year on each $1,000
valuation.
or course you Will neeQ 10 dud a III
tie to this for interest on the bonds
which draw interest not to exceed B
per cent.
The improvements in most districts
from year to year usually take care
of the interest; so probably in your
district the same rule would apply.
A man owning property valued at
$4,000 woul pay an additional tax or
$3.50 per year, not including a possible
small amount of interest
Trusting this will answer your ques-
tions in q satisfactory manner. L re-
main, very truly yours.

WHEN YOU SHIP HOGS.
You Will Find 1t Pays to Take Good
 Care of Animals Comfort.

Care or Animais' Comfort.
 If comfort of hogs while in transit to market be carefully provided the own CT will be repaid. Initial preparation for the transportation of the hog should be planned with the object of maintaining as nearly as possible the favorable conditions under which he has been brought to a marketable stage of perfection. From the farm to the loading point too much care cannot be exercised. Use every available means to effect this transfer with the least possible worry and excitement of the animal. In loading pens make certain that food is available if his appetite be working. See that an abundance of pure water is accessible and that drinking troughs are clean. Let him have food and drink right up to the time of loading.
 Before loading make a close inspec- tion of cars. Clean out all old bedding, manure. and so forth. In summer spread a layer of good clean sand or small gravel three or four inches deep over the floor of the car. Exhaust" cinders, if available. mix well with the sand. If the hogs are to be confined in the cnr for period exceeding that which has usually elapsed between feeding periods put in ear corn. the amount to be determined by the prob able time the animals will be en route If the weather is warm it is wise to cool the hogs by sprinkling with cool water. but care should be exercised in putting cold water over the backs of the swine if they are very warm. A little cold water on the back of a very hot hog often causes his death. In winter, especially in very cold weather, put in liberal bedding of clean straw or hay and on top of 1t ear corn in amount depending on the conditions. In DO instance, either in winter or summer. should hogs be loaded in cars in which there Is an accumulation of old bedding or manure. The heat generated by the swine causes fermen- tation of the old manure. This in turn heats or scalds the hog. causing shrink age, besides so affecting his appetite i that when unloaded he will neither eat nor drink as he should. Moreover his appearance Is affected to the detri- ment of his selling value.
 | Experience demonstrates that 1t Is a mistake to keep hogs off water for an unusual period before starting them | for market. As a rule. better tills are obtained and less shrinkage experienc' ed if no unusual or extreme measures be taken Weight is held far better ii feed and water in usual rations are supplied at as near the customary pc riods as circumstances will allow 1 Country Gentleman.

RUSSIA HERSELF AGAIN
What Her Recuperation Means to
 Her Neighbors

The world may or may not be con- again engaged in her old game of aggression upon weaker nations or that she has as far recovered from the disasters of the Manchurian cam palsn of seven years ago that she is now able to pursue her policy of expansion with all the swagger and ease that were so conspicuously hers in the years before 1904. Her fan cial condition has never been as sound as al present She has com pleted a thorough reorganization of her army, so that she can, if need be, muster 1,800,00O infantry and 100000 cavalry at a moments notice on the frontiers of Germany and Austria. And this enormous army is now entirely free for use wherev- CT Russia chooses to send it. for her relation with the Triple Alliance. (Germany, Austria and Italy) are at present so cordial that there is wis ible uneasiness concerning them in France as well as in Great Britain.

 Valry between Russia and Great Britain in Turkey, Central Asia and the Far East The Russo Japanese war, in a sense, may be considered as a phase of that rivalry, with Ja- pan fighting England's battle to put check on the Russian advance to the open sea. The situation of world politics has since undergone complete change, not due to the defeat of Russia in the Manchurian campaign, but to the rise of Germany as naval power. It is potent fact that if the British navy be de- feated by that of Germany, the world girdling British empire must inev- itably crumble to pieces. England is therefore now engaged in a break = neck race with Germany for the goal of naval supremacy, and has neither 1 the time nor the power to continue | her rivalry with Russia. And this being so. she has concluded ententes | with France and Russia. and attaches | such importance to Russia's good will

MASKED MAN
 ROBS SALOON
Dome Refreshment Parlors on First Avenue Scene of an Old Time Gun Play Bluff Last Night at Late Hour

Shortly after II o'clock last night q chief entered Miller's Dome saloon on First avenue opposite the court house and throwing a gun down on the bar keeper made him stand back while he went through the cash register and took what money there was in sight, a few dollars in change. Then he faded.
 The robber entered by the front door and left by the rear door. There was no one ,in the saloon but the barkeeper and the porter. Neither was in a po- siton to argue the matter as the only sort of an argument worth while in a case of that kind, was in the hands of the outlaw.
 The police were summoned promptly but the robber had gone even before the officers were called. The barkeep- CT gave the police a fair description of the man who is perhaps 30 years old, clean shaven, of light complexion, wore dark clothes and is rather small. The police do not know his name but from the description given they believe they know him by sight

TAX BOARD |S
 HOME AGAIN
And When It Arrived It Found That Things Had Been Happening Dur ing It's Little Jaunt to Nogales

The state tax commission returned yesterday morning from NOgales where the commission held a joint conference with the county board of supervisors sitting as board of equaliZa ton. The subject of confer ence was lands and cattle and the proper valuation of the Worlds Fair mine As a result of the conference the cOuntys valuation was elevated approximately $200Oo0. The total val nation of that county is now about two and half millions.
 The commission now has the returns from all the counties except Apache where there was some kind of a tangle that delayed the transmission of the assessment roll It has wired to Apache county for it's returns and expects to receive them soon, so the entire valuation of the state may be announced probably within week.
 In this connection the commission and board of equalization is con siderably wrought up over the action of the county boards of Yavapai and Cochise. sitting as county boards of equalization. It appears that after Yavapai county transmitted to the tax commission it's abstract of the assessment roll. which figures were used in fixing the state tax rate. the county board reduced the valuation of patented mines approximately 25 per cent and also reduced other min ing property. It also appears that using Yavapai for an example COchise took similar action. This it is con tended bV the state board. is exceed = ing the authority of the county board and the auditor and state board of equalization have wired to the Cochise county officials to the effect. The commission believes there is CO., operation among the mining interests to lower valuations by playing one county against another, and the com mission believes the proceedings have gone too far for any such work tc be legal
