LICENSE TRUCKS
Kansas May Make Heavy Motor
Cars Pay State Tax.
Nom Tourists Also
May Have to Have Tags.

If the Kansas good roads plans be-
come a reality during the next legis-
lature it is probable that the state will
ask that a license tax be charged
against the motor trucks, if not the
motor cars of non-residents using the
supreme court has just handed down
a decision upholding the right of New
Jersey to impose a dcense tax upon
the motor cars of non-residents who
travel thru New Jersey. The court
decision was that a state which spent
lot of money upon the roads was en-
titled to some compensation from
every one who used the roads.
The main object of a Kansas law
along this line would be to keep big
motor trucks off the roads or pay for
the use of the roads and provide for
the registration of non-residents who
passed thru the state. In New Jersey
the big business houses of New York
and Philadelphia handled large
amounts of goods by motor trucks.
The trucks cut the roads to pieces and
paid nothing for their upkeep.

sometimes inflicting damages upon
persons and property. and in order to
collect it would be necessary for the
New Jersey citizen to go to the home
of the owner to collect. The New
Jersey law provided for every nom
resident owner of motor car to
register when he entered the state and
give a power of attorney to the state
so that he might be sued in New Jer-
say for any damages.
Curtis Myers, motor car license
clerk for the secretary of state, and J.
T. Botkin, secretary of state, have
just received copies of the supreme
court decision. 1t has been presented
to various motor car and good roads
associations and these organizations
will determine whether or not an eff
fort should be made to have a similar
law passed by Kansas.

CIVIC CLUB HOLDS MEETING

The Civic club of North Topeka
came together in one Of its spasmodic
but enthusiastic meetings Friday night
ostensibly for the purpose of consider
ing boosting the interurban northern
route plan. as opposed to the southern
route.
The biggest result accomplished,
however. was one which many north
siders feel should have been brought
about long agO-the burial of the
Ratchet in all matters pertaining to
municipal interests between the peo-
pies of the two sides of the river. Tho
time came to bury the Ratchet, and
behold there was no Ratchet, J. viii
Kelley, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, was the Big Chief who sue
ceeded in lifting the last dim veil of
distrust
There isn't any question in our
mind that the development of North
Topeka is just as essential as the de-
velopment of South Topeka" Kelley
said, speaking for the Chamber of
Commerce. There is no line of de-
marcation between that part of the
city on the north side of the river and
that on the south. The river isn't very
wide and it's very low most of the
time.
1T is well that you have your own
organization because it is not always
convenient for a great many of you
to get over to South Topeka. l hope
that out of this organization there
may come a closer harmony between
North Topeka and South Topeka

FTeu tOiidIlu IECSiuCS.
Fred Voiland, president of the club,
whose business is located south of the
Kaw. confirmed Mr.. Kelley's belief
as being his own.
Regarding the immediate subject al
hand, the Chamber of Commerce sec
rotary said:
IF an interurban does come into
Topeka, we feel that it should be
made to develop new country It's
quite possible that wherever this road
enters the city, there will be criti-
cism."
Drawing a comparison of the rela-
tionship of Topeka . d Kansas City
with that of Muncie and Indianapolis,
cities with which Mr.. Kelley was IA
miliar before coming to Topeka. he
prophesied that first t-.ere would be
main highway between the two Kan
ssa metropoli and gradually a myce-
lium of smaller branches and finally
a complete network of electric rail-
wa. 5 covering this part of the state.
He warned his hearers that very pos
Sibly the first connection between the
two larger cities would be to the loss
of Topeka, in favor of Kansas City,
but that gradually there would be a
reaction to the incalculable benefit of
the smaller community.
Many Speakers.
The meeting was called to order by
President Fred Voiland shortly after
o'clock. He stated the purpose of
the meeting and invited speech on the
subject of the evening. A number
availed themselves of the opportunity
and expressed the idea that the inter
urban company had practically settled
on a northern route already.
THE Lawrence fellows are putting
u a big holler and l believe now is
the time to show that we want the
North side route. even if it is already
conceded" said v r. Parkhurst. We
can at least show where we stand and
express our appreciation"
Il believe it is the natural thing for
the interurban to come in on the
North side" declared President Vol
land. Il don't think we ought to
fight the North side on this

mittee of five be elected to confer

FARMING AS A BUSINESS.

The principles which underlie profitable farming are not unlike
 those which underlie the profitable
 conduct of any other business. The
 difference is merely in the applica- tion. The one fundamental principle
 underlying all successful business
 undertakings is that the cost must
 be less than sthe-selling price. In the operation of this principle agriculture is no exception. Farming, however, is such a complex business, and the different enterprises making, up the farm unit are so intricately related, that it is often well-nigh' ifAIossible to determine the true cossaor" the true selling prices of a farm product. How ever, the relation of any factor in farming to the profits of the farms. can be fairly accurately determined This relation of the individual enter- prise to the profits of the whole is perhaps the best guide to successful farming, and to an understanding of the principles upon which good farm organization is based-'NSome out standing factors in profitable farm ing," by J. s.

TWELVE NEW MAMMALS.

Shanghai, May 13.-Arthur de c. Sowerby, who has just completed a tour of exploration through Northern China for the Smithsonian institution of Washington. D. C.. discovered twelve new species of mammals. MT. Sowerby delivered lecture before the Royal Asiatic society in Shanghai on his recent researches in Shansi, Shensi, Kansu and Chilli provinces. He accompanied MT. Anderson. the American collector. on previous trips into the same territory. Before MT. Anderson began his researches only 13G varieties of mammals were known in Northern China. Now over 200 are recognized. MT. Sowerby's recent trip was chiefly for the purpose of check ing up the mammals already discov- cred, but in addition he found twelve new species.
