where Are the Bootsf
The man with trousers tucked into the
tops of his high boots Is as scarce now
as boots Of that kind. and they are
mighty few. Fifty years ago everyone
wore high-top boots, cowhide on week
days and calfskin on Sundays. summer
and winter. Shoemaking machinery
sounded the death knell Of boots OF that
kind. The men who manage the shoe
factories were working all the time to
lessen the waste and make hide so as
far as 1t could. and they soon eliminated
the waste of leather that went into boot
tops. High-topped boots were really Of
some value in winter; they kept the snow
out. but in summer they were worse than
useless-they were uncomfortable. They
were succeeded by the congress shoe and
then by the laced shoe.
The congress shoe. You remember Il
10 you are 70 years old. 1t had a gore
OF elastic cloth inserted in each ankle
and this gave II stretching quality enough
TO pull on and off easily.
The congress shoe was In many ways
the most comfortable shoe ever made,
and many nrddle-aged and old men and
women yet wear them. and nearly every
well-stocked shoe store In Kansas City
keep them in stock. but few Of the up
town stores kept high-topped boots.
There is no call for them there. Large
stocks of them are carried, however. in
the smaller stores, especially on Fifth
street and the Market square. Farmers
yet wear them in wet weather. But the
felt boot. with rubber foot. is fast taking
their place.
Tho copper-toed boots and shoes for
boys and girls have gone. too. A search
OF dozen shoe stores in Kansas City
failed to find pair.
"Copper-toed shoesg" exclaimed the
manager of one Of the largest shoe
stores. y haven't seen n pair in twenty
years. There's no call for them"
..-. 0niy n Memory.
The bootjack went when shoes came,
There was time when every home had
Its bootjack. and when travellers carried
/, them in their satchels. for 1t was almost
impossible TO get a pair OF tight boots
off without boouack. Homemade
bootjacks were made OF a piece Of board
with a notch sawed into one end. which
was raised from the floor about two
inches by a block OF wood nailed on the
under side. To yank off boot a man
put one foot on the Jack and inserted
the heel of the other boot in the notch
and pulled his foot out OF 1t.
The comic artists. who hate TO give
up the props" of their craft, yet pic
ture the boouack among the missiles
thrown at the cat on the backyard fence
or the spooning lovers in the garden.
but a bootjack has not been used for
that purpose for many years. and it is
likely that nIne-tenths of those who see
1t in the pictures wender what it is.

INDIANS AS BRIDGE BUILDERS
Curious Example of Primitive Craft
Built over Canadian
River.

Some interesting examples OF Indian
ingenuity are afforded on the River
skeena and its tributaries In North Brit
Ish Columbia. These waterways in their
upper reaches flow very swiftly and for
the most part through deep rsyines. As
1t is impossible for the Indians to cross
them by means Of canoes they have re-
sorted to bridging.
Their bridges are interesting structures

Announcement Surprise.

The sudden announcement OF the deci-
sion 10 open headquarters here immedi-
ately came as a complete surprise, but II
oecasioned no more surprise than did the
selection OF Mr.. Mckinley TO take com
mand.
1t was recalled .onlght. however, that
Mr.. Mckinley had been a constant visitor
at the White House during the last four
weeks. He has conferred with the presi-
dent and Mr.. Hilles almost daily. on
one Of his recent visits he was asked
whether he would accept reelection as
chairman OF the republican congressional
campaign committee

Washington Correspondence.
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-In-
stead Of taxing sugar nearly two
cents a pound, place tax on
wealth!
The Democratic House of Rep
resentatives has announced this
as part of Its program to bring
about reduction in the cost of
living.
Now get ready for the old cry
of: "You can't do it; it's uncon-
stitutional." Whenever it is pro-
posed to tax wealth instead of
property, wealth raises the ques-
tion Of constitutionality, accom-
panied with the charge Of "radi-
calism." An income tax is not
radical. Every first-class nation
on the earth's surface-except this
nation--raises part Of its reve-
nue. to meet the expenses Of the
government by taxing incomes,
among such nations being Great
Britain, Japan, France, Germany,
Holland, Denmark, Switzerland,
Australia, New Zealand and
many more.
Under our present fiscal policy
the expense Of maintaining the
army and navy, building public
buildings and running the gov
eminent, is met by taxing the
things the people must have in
order to live. Practically all rev.
enue is derived through the GUS
toms houses and internal revenue

offices, with the exception of a
comparatively small amount de-
rived from corporation tax, which
was recently passed as a cheating
substitute for an income tax.
While the hat, coat and shirt of
the masses are taxed almost II
per cent. under this fiscal system,
Rockefeller, Morgan and other
millionaires are not asked by the
federal government to pay any
tax whatever on their swoll en-
fortunes. Thus poor man with
q family actually pays more to-
ward running the government
than millionaire bachelor.
The Democratic plan is to place
sugar on the free list. This will
repeal q tax on the breakfast
table, now borne by the American
people. Then the present corpor-
alton tax will be extended to in
clude individuals and copartner-
ships having an income tax of
$1,000 year or more. The ex-
cess Of income over $4,000 will be
taxed | per cent, bringing into
/. ffa.l VII
the treasury between S5O,000,000
and $60,0O0,O0Oa year which will
more than cover the S53, 900, 900
now derived annually from the
sugar tariff. The price Of sugar to
the consumer, it il estimated, will
be reduced about 11-2 cents a
pound.
Those who scout the idea that
an excise tax bill can be SO drawn
as to stand the test of the Supreme
Court, may be referred to the
opinion Of one Of the country's
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1912-03-14

defendant Miner Brown and that said
Brown assumed payment of said notes;
that said defendant Miner Brown and
wife April 29th, 1910, conveyed by deed
said lands subject to said mortgage to
defendant Daniel W. Zehr, and that said
Zehr assumed payment of said notes.
That there is due and unpaid on said

December 2oth, 1911, at per cent. per
annum, and $I57 and 6o-Ioo on said in

notes at 7 per cent. per annum from date
OF maturity, respectively.
Plaintiff asks for judgment against
defendants for amounts due on said notes
as aforesaid, together with all accrued in q,
terest; for costs of suit, including 500
fee for plaintiffs attorney; that all in
terest and equity Of redemption in said
lands be foreclosed and that same be
ordered sold and proceeds applied,
to payment of costs including said at
torneys tee,-2, to payment of said
principal note and said matured interest
notes, and accrued interest thereon; and
that defendants Henry Nierstheimer
Miner Brown, William H. Johnson and
Daniel w. Zehr, be adjudged to pay any
deficiency remaining after said proceeds
are applied to payment of costs and debt,
and for such other orders, judgments and
DEGREES as to the court may seem meet
and proper;
And that unless the said defendants
William H, Johnson, Henry Nierstheim-
er, Katie Nierstheimer, Miner Brown
and Daniel W.. Zehr be and appear at
this Court, at the next term thereof, to be
begun and holden at the Court House, in

the 22d day Of April, next, and on or
before the first day OF said term, answer
or plead to the petition in said cause, the
same will be taken as confessed, and
judgment will be rendered accordingly.
And it is further ordered, that a copy
hereof be published, according to law,
