Franklin county was one of the
last counties In Kansas to designate
county roads as the state law re-
quires. There had been always that
imaginary enmity. The county COM
missioners fought shy Of the task
because they feared the opposition
OF the farmers. There was no real
understanding between farm and
city on road matters. 1t remained
for the Franklin County Retail Mer-
chants association to "break the
fee" between the two and the result
was the designation Of six county
roads this winter, with more under.
consideration.
One Of the principal reasons for
the organization OF the community
club was the formation OF a credit
list for the merchants, such as is
In use In Abilene.
Helps the Entire County
The association has made Ottawa
a better city and Franklin county
a better county. 1t has not worked
hardship upon any locality, and 1t
has done for farm and city what no
other organization or series of or
CARNATIONS did before. When
something needs to be done to fur
Their progress or business or society.
when anything needs treatment, it Is
put up to the association, the big |
community doctor which prescrtbes
and then fills the prescription. 1t
has replaced the commercial club,
acts as a policeman protecting mer-
chants against fake advertisers, puts
ginger into the town, helps the city
administration and the county COM
missioners with their problems and
takes general supervision over the
raising of funds to improve the city
in channels not covered by taxation.
Applying the Plan Locally
That such plan would be sue
cessful in Dickinson county is the
belief of farmers and merchants
who have given the subject atten-
ton. The next question is: How to
90 about forming such an organiza-
ion and what to do when the or
sanization is formed?
The proposal has been made more
han once in the Commercial club
meetings. that mutual advantages to
own and farm would result If peo- +,
lie over the county could be induce
d to join the club, but until some |
rganized working plan is adopted I
he best results cannot be obtained. 8

DIRECTOR OF

Washington, Oct. 31.a- George F..
Roberts of Fort Dodge, Iowa, direc-
tor of the mint, has resigned. It was
announced at the treasury department
that the resignation would be effect.
i've when accepted by President Will
son.
Roverts is not ready to announce
his plans today, but probably will re-
turn to the banking business which he
left in 1910 to become director of the
mint for the second time. His first
service in that Office was from 1898
to 1907. He left to become president
of the Commercial National bank of
Chicago, but returned to the mint bu.
reau when the Commercial bank was
merged with the Continental.
Roberts, a recognized authority on
finance, has written extensively on the
subject and was consulted frequently
by officials of the democratic admin
istration when the new currency law
was being framed. He is.a republican
but it is stated at the treasury that his
resignation is entirely voluntary and
will be accepted with regret.

While the supreme court did not
hold directly that all the Legislative
levies must be made they did so indi-
rectly. They held that the levies to
meet contemplated appropriations Of
an extraordinary character were ille-
gal. lnasmuch as the sums levied for
these extraordinary purposes is great
ly in excess of the sum necessary to
make all special levies full and COM
plete The decision of the court will
have the effect of giving all the legis-
lative levies the full amount contem
plated by the legislature. The mis-
take made by the state board of equa,
lization was that of levying to meet
appropriations, of the 1915 legislature
and levying only in part for the ap.
preparations for the 1913 legislature.
The constitutionality of special leg.
islative levies was not passed upon by
the court, but the inference is rather
broad that their constitutionality will
be sustained if passed upon.

SPECIAL TAX VALID
SUIT STARTED BY HEAD OF
STATE SCHOOLS DECIDED IN
THEIR FAVOR.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 29.-'The SUI
preme court today issued mandamus
order directing the board Of equaliza-
ton to re-convene and levy tax Of
one and one-eighth mills for the edu-
cational institutions of the state.
Heretofore the board had exceeded
the four-mill limit set by the constitu-
ton, but this year kept within the
limit by reducing all state taxes to
the required amount. This action OF
the board reduced the educational in
stitutions' income about s143,000. The
court gives this money to the institu'
lions and compels the board to levy
the necessary fund. -.
The board will convene in few
days. It cannot be learned tonight
what the members of the board think
of the decision, though it is generally
understood that it is far from satisfac'
tory to them.

papers of the state, under Bismarck

order of the supreme court directing
the state board of equalization to
reconvene to levy the full 18 mills

very misleading. 1t would appear
from these dispatches that the SUI
preme court held that the educational
levies did not come within the four
mill limit of the state constitution and
that the decision effected only state
educational institutions. Both are
misleading. The supreme court held
that the educational levies came with
in the constitutional limitation-they
held squarely on this point in the fol-
lowing language: .
"The petitioner, on the. other hand,
is, we think clearly in error In his
contention that the constitution limit
of four mills as fixed in Section TIA,
supra, does not apply to levies fored-
vocational purposes. If such. contention
be sound, there is no limit to the rate
of taxation except with reference to
raising revenue sufficient to defray
the expenses of the three coordinate
branches of the state government, the
executive, legislative and judicial. In
employing the language-'The legisla-
tive assembly shall provide for raising
revenue sufficient to defray the ex-
penses of the state for each year, not
to exceed in any one year four mills
on the dollar ETC., the trainers of the
constitution clearly intended to thus
limit the raising of revenue for all
purposes whatsoever except that men,
