COUNTY is ASKED TO
HOLD DOWN TAX LEVY.

Appeals to safeguard agains
heavy local tax increases we're today
received by the board of county
commissioners and county clerk
from the state tax commission. The
appeal from the state board follows
a recent letter to Governor Capper
from William c. McAdoo, director
general of railrods, asking that state
and local taxation boards prevent
imposition of unnecessary tax bur
dens on railroads.
Figures sent out today by the
state commission show that in ten
years the tax burdens of the state
have practically doubled. They have
jumped from a per capita tax of
$3.50 in 1903 to $23.71 in 1917.
Last year the taxes levied in Kansas
to s41,179,1S0 or $780,
