Progressive party to place ticket
upon the ballot at the election next
year, Senator Arthur Kinkel of Nor
ris county, yesterday introduced a
bill to legally recognize the Pro

petitions upon the vote cast last
November for Henry ]. Allen, a
Progressive party presidential cleo

Since the organization of the Pro-

last two months, and especially
since the passage of the Massachu-

have been worrying about the status
Of their party with reference to get
ting d place on the official ballot
under the Kansas election laws.

INHERITANCE TAX
Law is REVIVED
Democratic Senators Promise to Fol.
low Governors Wish.
WILL EXEMPT DIRECT HEIRS
Bill Will BE Almost Identical with
TrOutman Bill Slaughtered
Last Week-Necded for
Revenue.

Topeka, Feb. 19.--In obedience to
the wishes of Governor Hodges. the
Democratic senators will pass an in
heritance tax law levying tax on
indirect heirs and persons not re-
lated to the deceased. The bill was
introduced yesterday by Senator
James Malone, Of Rawlins county,
and 1t was almost identically the
same as the Troutman inheritance
tax bill which the senate Democrats
SO gleefully slaughtered last FRI
day.
The principal difference between
the Troutman bill, which was killed,
and the Malone bill is that the lat
ter entirely exempts direct heirs.
The Troutman bill did not entirely
exempt this class but it placed the
exemption for widows higher than
is provided by the laws of any OF
the forty states now having Inherit
ance tax laws. The Troutman bill
provided that widows should be ex-
empted up to $4,000. while for each
child the exemption was fixed at
$4,000. Only large estates would
have been affected by this provision.
In killing the Troutman bill a num-
Der of prominent Democratic lead
ers denounced the principle of the
inheritance tax.
Senator Troutman's warning to
the Democrats that II they do not
rass an inheritance tax law there
probably will he deficit in the rev.
enues awakened the governor and
the administration senators to the
seriousness of the situation A num-
Der of other Republicans senator's
at that time emphasized the need of
an inheritance tax law taxing be-
guests to indirect heirs.

LEMON POSTMASTER AT WHITE
BIRD.

James Lemon, the first of the week,
received word direct from Washing
ton that he had been chosen to sue
ceed Mrs. b. l.. Riggs in the White
bird postoffice. Mrs. Riggs sent in
her resignation several months ago
and the vacancy was filled under the
new civil service ruling governing
fourth class postmasters.
The appointment came as no sur
prise to those who had gone careful
ly into the provisions of the so7called
civil service ruling. The department
order provided only that fourth class
postmasters should stand simple ex-
animation and that the selection be
made from the three highest candi-
dates. This left the appointment
open for the candidate who was back
ed by the party machinery.
Lemon has always been one of the
faithful in Idaho county's democracy
and when he went after the appoint
ment he had all of the really effec-
tive county and state machinery back
of him. 1t was simply case of re-
ward to the faithful. the examina-
ton meaning nothing other than re-
quiring that the appointee be fairly
competent to perform the work of the
office.
Mrs. r. P. Nash was the only
other applicant for the office and in
point of competence was at least

TO REPRODUCE
BORDER DAYS
Next Week the Border DAYS
Pictures, Said to be the
Best Ever, Will be Here

On next Thursday. Friday and Sat
urday, October 8, 10, II, the recent
scenes Witnessed here at Border Days
will be reproduced at the local pictur
show.
Most encouraging word comes from
McConahey G. Card. who took the
moving pictures at the Border Days
show, and who are now in Spokane
developing the same. They declare
they are the best lot of films they
have ever produced, or have seen
anywhere. This report is also con.
frmed by M. c. Priddy who is look
ing after the pictures. The Spokes-
man-Review has had something to
say time or two about the excel
lence of the pictures, and from that
limited advertising the demand has
become SO great that Messrs. Nc
Conahey & Card have had to in
crease their developing capacity many
times over, to meet the emergency
which has arisen. The pictures have
been copyrighted in the United States
and all foreign countries, and all the
interests have been safeguarded so
that the films can be used at once
when developed.
In addition to the fact that the
performances at Border Days were
the very best wild west stunts ever
given anywhere, the settings of the
show are probably not equaled, GER
aintly not surpassed in eny section of
this remarkably beautiful western
country. All who have ever gazed
upon the scenic beauty spread out be-
fore them from the Border Days
grounds, are enthusiastic in their
praise, and render the invariable YER
dict that it cannot be excelled in the
land of the real. Add to these favor
able features the fact that the pictur-
es secured are the very best in exc
cutlon, and you have all the require
ments for perfect pictures completed.
The fact that the pictures have
been developed and sent back for ex-
hibition so soon after the show, will
add interest to the matter and will
draw some to see them who would
otherwise not care so much. that they
may test their memory and verify
their minds picture of the scenes.
The pictures will be a great drawing
card
