Says Ellis Parker Butler, of The

"In my opinion not only the staunch
Americans but the pro-Germans are
taking George Sylvester Viereck too
seriously. viereck is the man who
published the bitterly pro-GermAn
weekly, "Fatherland." which he now
calls 'Tviereck's, The American
Weekly" His publication now car
ries, at the top OF the front cover,

less pro-German than anti-English.
In 1907 vIereck published a book of

in the book Is entitled. THE Suppl

The land Is, Of course, Germany. so
that viereck was already giving fair
warning that he would prize his Ger
man heritage more dearly than any
thing else. He goes on to say. how
ever, that he left that land as q lad

We have a letter from the State

We have a letter from the State
Tax Commission saying the tax laws
of Kansas do not contemplate the
idea of man paying taxes on his
net present worth. There is not now,
never has been, and never will be,
an equitable and fair taxation law I'M
til the state finds a way to tax men
on their net present worth on the
first of March each year. If a man
pays on his net present worth he is
paying his share of tax if he pays
on more than that, he is paying on
his credit. Why should man be
taxed simply because his credit is
good? Yet this very thing is happen
ing in Kansas every year. If you
own a piece of machinery worth
100000 and you have paid five hun
dred dollars on it, and given a mort
gage for the S1500.00, your equity
you have $500 in the bank in cash,
in the machine is five hundred. If
you must pay on the full $4,000 for
machinery and on the $500 in the
bank, when as a matter of fact your
total net present worth is $1,000. Yet
the law says you must pay on $500.
Is that fair?-Oakley Graphic.
