of the people are eontented to 20 their

With the form of government and the

in regard to sporadic attempts ut the
overthrow of the government and the

warnings which have been published
from time to time about the growth

attracted any particular attention. In

WAS noted that the nnarchiStic or boil

that ii promised something new. more
active than socialism and more bloody

1t is evident that these complaints
have made an impression upon many
members of congress, for every time
the subject is debated the criticisms
are severe.
one of the consequences of every
war is a long series of complaints.
There are officers who never have had

that are always too severe; there IS i'll

tel of food or medical supplies ar in
taking care of the wounded. Even the
little Spanish war brought thousands
and thousands of such complaints and
in this great war where nearly 5000
600 men were taken into the service
the complaints will be in proportion.
Part of the horrors Of war" is the
aftermath of complaints and criticisms.

DIR DESTRUCTIVE TAX
SYSTEM.

John w. Dix has written a NJ
tie fable on the land question
which I beg leave to reproduce for
the Ledger, as it so cleverly GOV
ers in concrete form the two taS
systems being considered today
It is entitled Gigs for Taxes
and runs thus:
"Once upon time there was q
little kingdom in which the prime,
ipal industry was the growing 81
figs. The King needed more rev
enue; so he issued proclamation
levying against each fig tree tax
of one piece Of silver. The grow
ers of the fig trees looked for
way to escape the tax. Soon
hatchets were laid at the roots OF
the trees, and the industry was a
thing of the past.
"Across the bay lay another
little kingdom whose industry also
! was the growing of figs. This
King also needed revenue; so he
issued a proclamation. levying a
tax Of one piece Of silver against
each block of land. The people
tried to avoid the tax, but they
could not do away with the land
SO to raise the tax they planted
more fig trees, and the industry
grew and thrived, and the people
grew rich, so that the people from
the first kingdom crossed the bay
to the second kingdom where in
dustrv was encouraged. And its
fame went to all the countries
round about"

this earth from which to collect

revenues. or funds for public pur-
poses. The one is tax on labor,
the other is tax on land. A tax
on labor. or labor values Of any
kind is destructive.
A tax on land. or land values
is constructive. The first tax, or
the one mostly in use now, is de-
cidedlv destructive, as is shown
clearly in the fable of the fig
trees. for the reason that it limits,
restricts and destroys both labor
and capital.
The second, of which we make
hut little use, is highly construc-
tive, because it gives every en-
enlargement to labor and capital
for useful effort. and makes land
plentiful. cheap and easy Of &C.
cess, so that all workers can oc-
cupv themselves without let or
hindrance in the things they like
best to do.
Change orr system Of taxation
from labor to land values. and al
most immediately the high cost Of
rent. the high cost of food, the
hich cost Of clothing and every
thing which comes out Of the
earth would collapse like a soap
bubble.
Shall we continue hugging this
destructive system and the hell
we've made Of this earth as a re-
suit. or change to the second
method mentioned in the fable,
and build heaven here as God in
tended, and for which we, who re.
peat the Lords prayer daily,

BOIL CITY water
That Is Advice Given Out To-
day by DR.. III. L. Clark.
Says Sickness Reported May
Be Caused by Impurities.

boil the water" was the advice
given by DR.. H. L. Clark, city health
officer, today.
For several days past we have
been getting reports of many cases of
trouble, affecting both children and
adults continued Doctor Clark.
These cases have been occurring in
many widely scattered parts of the
city, and the natural presumption is
that they may be due in some way to
the city water, altho our daily bac-
THEOLOGICAL tests made in the city's
laboratory have failed to show any
thing to cause such suspicion. The
possibility that these cases of intes-
final trouble may in some way be
related to the influenza epidemic is
another theory we have been consid-
ering, altho the nature of the out
break would rather indicate that it
was a water borne trouble. Few per-
sons have been ill more than a day or
two.
IT understand that there has been
quite a prevalent rumor that river
water is being pumped into the water
mains. I was at the pumping station
this morning and I do not believe that
anything of this kind has occurred.
However, the city water will be chlor-
mated as soon as the recently received
chlorinatng machine can be con-
nected. Mr.. Hopper, who is in charge
Of the pumping station, is making the
necessary preparations for install ling
this machine in a few days. In the
meantime, take no chances and boil
the water"
This morning Andrew Veach, of the
state board of health water laboratory
at Lawrence, DR.. Clark and Commits
sioner F. II Newland inspected the
pumping plant in company with Mr..
Hopper. They found the new improve
ments at the plant being pushed rap
idly, but found nothing to give any
foundation to the rumor that river
water has been pumped into the city
mains Mr.. Hopper assured them
that there is no necessity for using
the raw river water. and that it would
be a big fire which would make it nee
essary to open the intake valves to
the river.

co ACROSS River
Plans for Efficient City Water
Service Under Way.
Wells and Temporary Plant on
the North Side.
ADD 1000 GALLONS A MINUTE
Furnish Surplus Until Perma-
nent Improvements Made.
Then Tunnel or Pipe Line Will
Be Constructed.
ADD 1000 GALLONS A MINUTE

Action tending toward the better
ment of the city water service has be-
gun already, it was asserted at the city
hall today According to Commits
sioner F. NJ. Newland, when Wyncoop
Kiersted left Topeka he had instruc-
tons to start work on drawing up
plans for the temporary plant which
will be installed as soon as possible.
In consideration of the fact that it
will take a great deal of time to get
action on constructing either suspen-
sion pipe line over the river from wells
on the north side or the building of a
tunnel under the river, it was neces-
sary to formulate a plan which would
add temporarily to the supply.
1t was decided that if several wells
were put down on the north side of the
river and water piped from them that
it could be done in that way.
According to Commissioner New
land three or four wells will be put
down. Kiersted believes that these
wells will furnish from 1000 to 1900
gallons of water a minute. Work on
the wells will be started. says New
land, as soon as the weather opens up
and it becomes possible to carry on
that sort of work. One pump will
operate the wells and the pump will
be operated by a motor The erection
of another building to house the
dynamo and the steam boilers by
which the dynamo will be operated
will be necessary. The building will
be permanent part of the water plant
as it will be used when the permanent
improvements are finally decided
upon, will be butt large enough for
two large dynamos. Kiersted is ready
to start drawing up the plans for con-
Struction at once, it is said.
The job will be a big mechanical
one. Commissioner Newland says, and
will undoubtedly require a good deal
of time. He added that the work
would be pushed with all possible
speed.
Permission must be obtained for the
department to run a pipe line across
the brick yards bridge and "a special
pipe will be ordered for this purpose.
Then it will be necessary to get the
permission of the state and of other
property owners along the river front
to carry the line across their property
| to the plant Levels will have to be
made, and estimates as to how far the
water will be lifted.
Until Kiersted finishes his plans
says, it will be impossible to give an
| estimate of the expected cost of the
work already under way.
| The new additions to the system will
not solve the problem permanently,
| according to Kiersted, but will prove
effective in adding a sufficient surplus
of water to enable the city to go thru
| the period necessary until the perma-
| nent work can be decided upon and
| construction finished.

with pneumonia following an attack
of Influenza His condition was an
nounced as very grave last night, but
he was somewhat improved this morn

Doctor Mcguire, who came from Ex-

since 1899. He is one of the best
known physicians and surgeons in this
part of the country. He has been at
tending hundreds of cases of influenza
since the beginning of the epidemic,
and by reason of overwOrk and contin-
uous exposure to the contagion. he
finally came down with the disease
himself. He has been i'll since Satur-
day, pneumonia developing in the
early stages of his sickness.
