Kansas Corporations to the
Number of 13S Are Tagged.
Marked for the Services of the
Executioner.
FAILED TO PAY THEIR TAXES
VIII Not Be Allowed to Exist
Longer in Kansas.
State Charter Board to Take
Final Action Wednesday.

Sang! Out goes the light for 1913
perfectly good profit sharing corpora
tlons- All because they have not paid
their corporation tax under the state
law
Sometime Wednesday the state
charter board will hold an INQUEST
over the remains of the 138 concerns
and viii decide that their death was
due to contributory negligence. Then
an order will go to the clerks in the
office of J. T. Botkin, secretary of
state, and the 13S corporations will be
wiped off the books.
On the books in the secretary of
states office are the names of sew
eral thousand corporations. Some of
them work for profit, whether they
get 1t or not. Others were organized
for charitable and benevolent pur-
poses and have nothing but the love
of huma nifty in their hearts They
will be left alone. No one--1ot even
state charter board-cares to dis
turb a benevolent or charitable con-
Germ. But the 138 delinquent profit
seeking corporations have slept on
their rights and re due to die.
A list of derelict Kansas corpora
tions was compiled today by W. ?.
Montgomery, assistant attorney gen.
eral, and this list will go to the state
charter board Wednesday morning.
The list comprises the Kansas cor
porations which have failed to MAKE
payment under the corporation tax
law So, under provision in the
the books.
New System at Work.
Under the old system followed by
the charter board, corporations were
wiped from the books when they
failed to make reports as required by
law. Now they are not only compelled
to make sworn statements, but they
are compelled to pay an annual tax,
based on their capital stock, surplus
and profits. There are just 1873 COM
panies which have this year failed to
observe the provisions of the 1913
statutes.
For several months Montgomery has
industriously tried to convince the cor
porationS that they should meet the
annual tax and continue in business.
AS result of mis- efforts, he has col
lected $13,950. In addition to these
payments, Montgomery now has claims
aggregating $500 tied up in the
courts. An additional $4,000 is also
tied up in protest fees-money paid to
the state under protest and held liz a
special fund pending final decision on
the constitutionality of the Kansas act.
The case involving this $4,000 is now
before the supreme court of the Unit
ed States.
But the 13S corporations are not
concerned in these matters. They
have failed to answer the letters from
the attorney generals office. They
have failed to make payment under
the law. Now they must go.
Some of these corporations, it is
seeking new charters. But before they
are granted, it is probable that the
state board will insist upon the pay
ment of the fees which We're not paid
during the time the companies were
actively engaged in business.

IF YOU FIND PIN IN CIGAR YOU
 WILL KNOW WHY

The man undertaking to smoke a cigar and finding q big pin in the end will immediately conclude that an at tempt has been made upon his life or else he has been victim of a practi- cal joke, or he may pass the incident over and conclude that the presence of the pin is simply a bid for thefemi- nine trade. since she has taken up the cigarette so vigorously.
 But no. The fact is that this is recently conceived convenience for the man smoker The pleasure of a smoke largely depends on the way it is started. A good start makes a good ending, and so that is the reason why so many men give so much time and attention to tine matter of starting the smoke right He carefully breaks or cuts the end off and sees that there
 is a good draught through it and then he lights up. In order to insure this proper draught. some makers place straw in the interior of the roll and when the end is cut off preparatory to smoking. the straw is pulled out and a fine. clean, flue-lke opening is provided throughout the length of the cigar. But the smoker who happens te be unaware of the purpose of the straw may undertake to smoke with out it's removal and smoking on straw will spoil the flavor of any roll of tobacco.
 The newest idea is the insertion of q pin in the puffing end of the cigar. and this takes the place of the straw and cannot in any way interfere with the delight of the cigar.

Especial Correspondence)

HAYDEN, Ariz.. July l4.-The Hay den Mill and the Hayden Shelter cn- gagged in slugging match on the local diamond this afternoon. Most of the slugging was done by the Shelters as a glance at the official score will dis close. There were also numerous CT TOTS and altogether it was a much poorer exhibition than the fans were prepared to receive. Kelley for the Mill boys relieved Stewart when the first inning was but two-thirds done but Kelley did not exhibit his usual form and was unable to change the trend of things. Ramey for the Smelter boys did excellent work through the entire game and it was only in the seventh that his adVersaries were able to do much against him and then it was largely on account of poor support.
