Arc Too High Now.

Something besides the attempt of
the town people to get eggs at some
thing besides a fortune is worrying the
farmers. Pomona Grange and Sunny
side Grange, No. 1922, in resolutions
passed recently object strenuously to
the states avowed intention of assess
ing farms again and increasing the
assessments on which taxation is
based.
Members of the grange list their
troubles. which are their expenses, as
follows:
"Whereas, It has come to our notice that
the farms of Shawnee county are to be re-
valued this spring by a special commission
for the purpose of increasing the assessed
valuation, and.
"Whereas, the cost to the farmer of COM
modities which he is compelled to buy Is
steadily increasing, and.
Whereas, the farmers are now paying
so per cent of all taxes which is more than
the farmer should justly bear.
Therefore, be it resolved that we the
members of the Shawnee Pomona Grange
protest against any increase in the farm
tax as unjust and is placing a greater

WILL STAND LAW TEST
Higgins Explains New Industrial
Court Bill He Helped Draft.

Proposed industrial legislation in
Kansas will offer a solution of many
of the big social problems of the day
that will stand the test of the courts,
according to w. L. Higgins, who spoke
Tuesday evening before the Co-Opera-
tive club at dinner in the Elks club.
Huggins declared the tentative legis-
lation will be founded on the funda-
mental principals of common law and
based on rights of the public. Legis-
lation intended to guarantee regular
production of necessities. Huggins
pointed out must embody a guarantee
of justice to labor in exchange.
While legislation cannot take away
mans right to quit his occupation.
Higgins declared, it can and will. if
passed in the Kansas legislature, pre-
vent him from stopping the produc-
ton of necessities by obstructing other
men who want to produce
At the conclusion of his talk, Hug
gins was made an honorary member
of the Cooperative club by unani-
nous vote. Members voted the sum
of 500 to be donated to the fund be-
ing raised to furnish quarters for the

Makers Abroad Have Trouble
Supplying Own Demand.

New York, Dec. 31.-America can
expect no relief from Europe in the
shortage of news print paper. in the
belief of Philip T. Dodge, president of
the International Paper company, ex-
pressed to the Dow-Jones financial
news agency today.
Dodge has just returned from an
extensive tour of Europe where he
investigated conditions.
%Before the war the chief factor
which enabled European countries to
ship news print to this country profit
ably was the cheap cost of labor"
Dodge said. ''I believe these are
things of the past"
The International company, accord
ing to its head, could dispose of 100,-
600 tons of news print in this country
alone, in addition to it's present output
of 100000 tons a year. 1t is conse-
quently not looking for any export
business at the present time and is
having difficulty supplying its do
mestic customers, he declared.
LAS a result of existing conditions
Dodge said, IT do not look for any
recession in news print prices for two

Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, and
Gen. Leonard Wood.
Lowden will be quizzed first He
viii be asked to tell whether he favors
American participation in the league
as it is established by the pending
treaty and what he would do about
withdrawal If elected president.
The inquiries to be directed to the
candidates are to be so framed, it is
understood, that the aspirants for the
nomination will find it hard to ignore
them.
Neither Wood nor Lowden has SO
far made any definite statement. Sena-
