KANSAS TAX RATE DECREASES.

In 1880, under license. the Kansas
tax rate for state purposes was 5.5
mills ON the dollar. The Nebraska
rate was only 3.9 mills. In 1881 the
Kansas rate dropped to mills, while
the Nebraska rate increased to 6.1. In
1882 the figures stood: Kansas, 4.5;
Nebraska, CT. In 1883 the rate was,
Kansas, 4.3; Nebraska, rs. In 1885 the
Kansas rate had further dropped to
3.9, but Nebraska, with saloons to pay
part Of her revenue, had been COM
PEELED to raise her rate to TT.
In 1914 Kansas had reached the re-
markably low figure of 1.2 mills, while
Nebraska, whose people failed to fol-
low Kansas example in outlawing
saloons, was suffering under q rate OF
7.S mills.
And yet," says the Portland (Me.)
Evening Express. "the booze represen.
tatives in local option contests have
the effrontery to warn the people
against outlawing the saloons because
You will have to pay more taxes!'"

So far a. its vegetable food is con-
cerned. the bluebird is positively harm
less. The only trace of any useful
product in the stomachs consisted of
Z few blackberry seeds. and even these
probably belonged to Wild rather than
cultivated varieties. Following II q

found: Blackberry, chokeberry, juni-

Virginia creeper, bittersweet, holly.
strawberry bush, false spikenard. wild

rose haws, sorrel, ragweed. grass and
asparagus. This list shows how little
the bird depends upon the farm or gar
den to supply its needs and how cas-
fly. by encouraging the growth OF
some of these plants. many Of which
are highly ornamental, the bird may
be induced to make his home on the
premises.
Two species of bluebirds inhabit the
western states-the mountain bluebird
and the western hluebird. In their food
habits they are even more to be com
mended than their eastern relatives
