RA1LRoAD1NG COMES HIGH.

Walker D. Hines, the new director
general of railroads, has asked the
government for more money for carry
ing on the transportation business of
the country. The half billion dollars
voted by congress for this purpose has
been practically exhausted.
How will the people like being
taxed to support the railroads while
at the same time paying higher freight
and passenger rates? The railroads,
which in the past have been taxed to
the limit, seem in a fair way to get
their money back altho under exist
ing conditions it may do them little
or no good.
That the railroads must have finan-
cial assistance, whether they remain
in government hands or not seems
settled. If they be turned back to
the owners. they cannot borrow money
in competition with the government,
which soon is to enter the market
with another big loan. Since Uncle
Sam can borrow money and the rail-
roads cannot. the only way out of
bad situation seems to be for con-
gress to grant the director generals
request. The roads must have money
from somewhere or go out of BUSH
ness. This was the situation before
the government took them over and a
year of government operation has not
changed it.
It may confidently be expected that
these calls for money will continue
as long as the government retains
control of the roads, whether it be
81 months or five years as suggested
| by Mr.. McAdoo. unless the condition
shall be relieved by another advance
in rates. In either case the public
will pay, as it always does. But there
| Is this difference: when it pays in the
form of freight and passenger charges
it sees what it is getting for it's money.
When 1t pays in the form of taxes. it
sees nothing come back.
| 1t is apparent that the railroad sit
uation is growing steadily worse in
stead OF better. and. to quote from
Director General Hines: Whatever
difficulty the railroads will have in
dealing with the situation now, they
will have in increased measure 81
months after the declaration of peace.
The debts will be larger and it seems
to me the difficulties will be greater
and the railroad organizations will be
in less satisfactory condition to be
drawn together to resume the private
operation"

seem to indicate that the Huns have
adopted the Mexican plan of dealing

two persons, if it prove to be true.
should do much toward restoring
peace and order in the German capt.
tall The proceeding may have been
trifle irregular but it should be none
the less effective in bringing about
good results. Lenine, one of the lead
ers of the Russian Bolsheviki, is re-
ported to have landed in Spain. This

nent in the movement. in position

TAxATION OF MORTGAGES.

Governor Aliens opposition to the
taxation of farm mortgages, set forth
in his message to the legislature. again
was voiced in his address before the
Farmers Union convention. The in
Justice of the system must be clearly
apparent to any man who will give
the subject thoughtful and unselfish
consideration.
To illustrate the workings of the
mortgage tax, let us suppose that
man own a farm assessed at a valua
ton of $4,000 and he mortgage it for
$1,000. He is taxed on the full value
of his farm, including the amount for
which it is pledged. He pays the
same rate on the mortgage in the way
of increased interest rate. otherwise
the lender at 6 per cent interest could
afford to take, in Shawnee county, less
than per cent.
Let us suppose, further, that the
farmer place the $1,000 borrowed in
the bank, use it for making improve
ment, or buy stock with it. Again he
is taxed on the same amount. Thus
he is made to pay, in this county, a
tax of $65.51 on $1,000 and two-thirds
of that amount on the remaining
$4,000 of valuation, or $43.40, making
total of s1OS.91. AT the same time
the farmer owning a $4,000 farm I'M
incumbered would pay but s65.51.
The foregoing figures are based on
the tax rate in the city of Topeka.
PIT, which is used merely for illus
tration. The farm rate, of course, is
not so high but the principle remains
the same, as also does the ratio be-
tween the mortgaged and the unin-
numbered farm.
Another baneful effect of the sys-
tenn is that many farm mortgages are
held outside of the state and SO es-
cape payment of taxes in Kansas.
Foreign money thus is brought into
competition with home money. with
advantage to the outside capitalist but
without any benefit to the borrower
or to the state revenues
Every dollar in the state should be
taxed but it should not be taxed more
than once. It has been shown that
the farmer with the $4,000 mortgaGed
farm pays taxes on $1,000. while the
one with the $4,000 unincumbered
farm pays only on $4,000.

not unite all the south Slavic peoples
in one state?" The Serbs are skilled
in the art of agitation, and by the
latter part of the nineteenth century
most of the southern Slavs were Sc
cretly drinking toasts to a Yugo-
Slavia, dominated by Serbia instead of
by the Hapsburgs.
The quick spread of the Serbian
propaganda not only angered but
alarmed Austria, who could not afford
to have her position on the Adriatic
weakened by an independent Yugo-
Slavia. Therefore. she watched Serbia
with a jealous eye. determined that
enmity developed between the two ma
tons, which nearly reached a crisis
when Austria formally annexed the
provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The political temperament of the Slav
was now awake, and Austria knew it.
Moreover, she feared it. And it was
this fear which motivated her con-
duct in revenging the assassination of
the Archduke Ferdinand. and thereby
precipitating the European war.
All Of this is recounted to show
that the Yugo-Slavs and their Yugo-
Slavia are going to be one of the
toughest problems to be settled at the
peace table. Italy has now stepped
into Austria's place. She holds Il e
Yugo-Slav territory formerly held by
that nation. But will she be able to
keep it against the stubborn resist
ance and intense opposition of a pre-
dominantly Slav population struggling
for the consolidation Of it's race?

Likely as not her mothers cold and
dispassionate sizing up of Mary's hus-,
band is accurate to the last hair of his
head. but the point is that If mother
had not shown the man to her as he

except thru the pink chiffons of ro-
nance in which she had wrapped him
up. And her fancies made her hap
ply. While the truth makes her miser-

Why mothers cannot see the harm
they do in pointing out the faults of
their children's husbands and wives to
them passes comprehension. All of,
them know from their own experience
that the reaction that comes after
marriage is just like the reaction that
comes after we buy n desired object

WELL or as desirable as II did in the

The Ohio public utilities commission
has announced that it will resist Post
master General Burleson's latest order
regarding telephone rates. Burleson
appears to have no conception of the
purposes for which his department
was established. Plainly the policy
which he has adopted is to get out of
the postal and wire services all the
traffic will bear. The postoffice de-
partment was established for furnish
ing service to the people at cost. So
closely did the government figure that
for many years there was an annual
deficit which was made up by taxa
ton. All means of communication
under government control should be
made self sustaining and nothing
more The Kansas public utilities
commission has decided upon diff
ferent course and will attempt to rea-
son with the postmaster general
Neither of these bodies is likely to
get anywhere. In every contention
between a state and the federal gov
eminent since the Civil war the state
has lost The war was fought to es-
tablish the supreme authority of the
national government. The public
utilities commissions might better con-
fine their energies to an effort to get
Burleson out of the cabinet.

in the new revenue bill is expected
to raise 100000 annually. With
the supply of the principal revenue
producing beverages to be cut off
within a year, somebody must do a

months. Distillers are not likely to
pay tax on the LIQUOR remaining in
