FAILURE TO PAY ROAD
TAX CAUSES ARRESTS

Jos. Cryderman, E. s. McCombs,
G. D. Fink and G.. e. Eliot were ar
rested today by Marshal Engle on
city warrants charging failure to
pay road tax.
Cryderman pleaded not guilty,
and his trial was set for Saturday.
The others will come before Judge
Porter this afternoon, and will prob
ably be given the minimum fine,
which under the state law is SIS and
costs.
About fifty men, after having
been legally notified, have failed to
remit their So road tax. Their
names were placed in a hat and four
we're drawn. If the others do not
pay up to avoid arrest, the opera
ton will be repeated until every
one has paid. The city will collect
about $1,000 road tax this year.

The county commissioners thii

stallation Of approximately 400 Gu.

The commissioners were in New

KANSAS MILLERS WILL
PROTEST CALIFORNIA RATE

A flour rate case, which vitality
interests Kansas millers, will come
up for hearing at San Francisco on
September A..
The interests Of the Kansas mill
ers will be looked after by the
Southwestern Millers' League which
will act for all the flour interests Of
Kansas, but none Of the local mill
ers expect to be present in person.
The millers are ~contesting a pro-
posed advance in rates on flour from
Kansas to California terminals. G.
v. Topping, secretary Of the South
western Millers' League, explains 1t:
There is a z cent ~differahtial
raise now in existence on wheat ana
corn. The advance will raise the
flour rate 10 cents and make 1t rs
cents per 100 pounds. and wheat Is
cents per 100 pounds.
'This shows a difference Of IL
cents between wheat and flour. Cali
fornia is the only section Of the
country where there is such q diff
ference in flour rates. Flour from
the northwest goes to California on
he same rates as wheat.
THE California millers are en-
leavoring to get q monopoly on the
western trade, as Kansas flour Is
yell liked. The consumer Is willing
o pay the regular price over Cali
Ornia wheat and they are trying to
discriminate against u.s."

A Royal Rebuke.

No one would be likely to call King
George Y. dSvino jure monarch, but
If one story Of him is to be believed
he possesses a considerably greater de
gree Of spirit than is usually credited
to him. It appears that on one occa-
sion he was discussing affairs of state
with Winston Churchill, who, in the
course OF the conversation, expressed
one OF his more radical opinions-just
which 1t is perhaps wiser not to say.
The king objected, saying that such a
sentiment was at variance with his
idea of the British constitution.
'Oh," said the first lord OF the adj
miralty piqued, land what is your idea
of the constitution, may I ask, STRIP
t@This,' said the king quietly, extend
ing his hand toward the first lord, palm
downward. There was nothing left for
Churchill to do but kiss the proffeFed
hand and retire from the room, which
he did.-New York Post.
