STATE TAXES UP.

omy. Twice the taxes jumped. The
last year of the Stubs regime, by a
supreme effort, the tax levy was held
at 1.2 mills.
Then came the Hodges administra-
ton. 1t had come into existence by
virtue of an unusual and unexpected
row in the Republican party. Riding
on the wave of vaguely possible sue
cess, the Democratic politicians in 1912
promised everything. They We're to
cut taxes rs per cent and kick all the
useless job holders out, of office. Ar
thur Capper, Republican nominee,
made the same promises. 1t just hap
pened, though, that the job of full
filling these promises fell on the
shoulders of George H. Hodges. He
couldn't quite deliver. The taxes did
not go up. Neither did they go down.
By hard work, the levy of 1910 was
maintained.
Stationary for -Four Years.
And so it went. Last year. in the
midst of a bitter political campaign,
the Democrats missed a tax increase
by the most narrow margin. For four
years the tax levy has remained the
same, IL mills.
Now the levy is to take a jump.
There isn't a department in the
state house where it is seriously be-
lieved that the levy can be held down
The valuations of property in the state
will show an increase over last year.
Out even n view Oh the 1nCTedSeQ
property valuation, the old levy will
not raise enough money to meet the
increased expenses of the state admin
istration.
According to estimates of state Off
Gals, the levy will be increased from
one to three-tenths of mill. The
increase depends entirely on the
amount of expense which state depart
ments can sidetrack for this year. But
the state officers have been sidetrack-
ing expenses for years. Now they
must pay for some of the things they
were denied under the Stubs and
Hodges administrations. A lodging of
certain expenses this year, means an
increased expense along the same line
next year. That is the nightmare be
fore the state tax commission and
Governor Capper.
Il favor a reduction of taxes down
ward, was the initial plank in the
governors personal platform of 1912.
But now the tax levy is being prepared
for another balloon ascension and un-
less several hundred thousand dollars
worth of expense items can be wiped
from the slate in the next few days,
the Kansas property owner must dig
little deeper when he pays his taxes
in December.

RADIUM COST DROP
q. S. Experts Greatly Reduce
Expense of Production.
CarnOtite Ores Surpass EXpec-
tatiOnS of Lane.

Washington, July 2S.-Production
of radium from Colorado carnotite
ores by the bureau of mines, in con-
nection with the National Radium in
stitute, has passed the experimental
stage and is now on a successful
manufacturing basis. In making this
announcement today Secretary Lane
declared that the statement to con-
gress concerning the ability of the bu-
reau to produce raGium at a greatly
decreased cost over other processes
had actually been accomplished and
that the costs were even less than pre-
dicted.
The secretary said he had been in
formed that the cost of one gram
of radium metral produced in the
form of bromide during March, April
and May, last, was $36,O5O. This in
cluded all expenses incident to produc-
ton. when it is considered radium
has been selling from $4,000 to
$4,000 a gram" said MIR. Lane, it
will be seen what the bureau has ac-
complished.
THE public, however, should not
infer that this low cost of production
necessarily means an immediate drop
in the selling price of radium. The
National Radium institute was fortu
nate in securing through q Colorado
steel company the right to mine ten
claims of ca rnotite ores belonging to
it, and this was practically the only
ore available at the time. Since then
new deposits have been opened, but
these are closely held and, according
to the best judgment of bureau eX-
perts, the Colorado and Utah fields,
which are much richer in radium-
bearing ores than any others known,
will supply ores for n few years only
at the rate of production that obtained
when the European war closed down
the mines.

also increase rapidly, for the two or

ELECTED JUDGE AS A JOKE.
Young Newspaper Man Turns Tables

Smith Center. Kan, July 2S.-When
the residents of Gaylord population
800, plotted to elect George Leary, 30
year old editor of the Sentinel, as po-
lice judge last April they thought they
were perpetrating a huge joke, but
events since have proved it was any
thing but that-to them. When he
was elected and forced to serve over
his protest he declared Gaylord would
realize it had a police judge. 1t does.
Acquittals in Magistrate Leary'S
court are unknown. The presence of
a prisoner before him is deemed suf-
ficient evidence of guilt requiring a
stiff fine. Following is the schedule
of fines for offenses imposed by the

TO USE FLOODED LAND.
Silage and Hay Crops Recommended
For Late planting by x. S A C.

Manhattan, Kan, July 28.-Silage
or hay crops are recommended by Ce-
Gil Salmon, assistant professor of
agronomy in the agricultural college,
for present planting on land that has
been overlooked or otherwise unaVail-
able until now. Land should be used
which will not need blowing and
which it is not intended to seed to
wheat this fall.
Feterita and Freed's sorghum will
mature sufficiently for silage in so
days, according to Mr.. Salmon In
southern Kansas the weather will
probably be such as to allow them to
mature grain, which will take upwards
of 80 days. For hay, which will be
practically a certain crop, nillet or
sorghum sowE like wheat is recon-
mended.
The volunteer wheat this year will
be unusually thick because of the
moisture, is the belief of Professor
Salmon He suggests disking the
ground as soon as possible. This will
start the volunteer wheat which may
then be plowed under and thus elm
mated. Destruction of the volunteer
wheat is a necessary measure in the
protection against the Hessian fly

CARRANzA is OUT OF IT?
New Peace Parleys in Mexico MAY
Ignore First Chief

Washington, July 2S.-Reports of a
new peace move in Mexico attracted
attention in official circles today Ad-
vices received here said that repre-
sentatives of the various factions in
the southern republic were consulting
their leaders in an effort to bring
about a peace parley either with or
without General Carranza. This move
was said to be in anticipation of a
final appeal by the United States to
the faction leaders to compromise
their differences and restore peace in
Mexico.
The United States is said to be con-
templating a restoration of the ban
on the export of war munitions to
Mexico as a part of its program to end

EGson's Favorite Invention
Is Diamond Disc Photograph

Oct. 81 is to be observed through
out the world as Edison Day. AT the
Panama-Pacific exposition special
celebration will be held and scientists
will lecture on Edison's many inven-
tions, Oct. q, 1879, is the date on
which Edison produced the first COM
cercially practicable incandescent
lamp. However, many of his other
achievements are to be included in the
Edison Day ceremonies. at the exposi-
ton. Among these will be the Edison
inventions to which we largely owe
the efficiency Of the telephone and
telegraph, the motion picture camera,
the storage battery, the Edison treat
ment of low grade iron and large
number of Edison chemical products.
The principal demonstration will be
of his new invention for the re-crea-
tion of sound.
William H. Meadowcroft, who has
been Mr.. Edison's close associate for
over 80 years, says: II think of all

Although the original inventor of
the so.called talking machine, Mr.. Edi-

to produce an instrument which would
