NO TAX PENALTY! TURN BACK CLOCK
Kansans Not To Lose by One
Half Yearly Payments.
Gap in Revenues May BE Re-
suit Thruout State.

Kansas tax payers will not be penal
lied If one-half of their taxes are paid
in December and the remaining half
by June 20, according to a ruling to-
day by Judge S. n. Hawkes., assistant
attorney general. Under an interpre-
tation of the ne wlaw, Judge Hawkes.
held that no rebates will be given for
full payment and no penalties levied
if the first and second payments are
made in December and June.
Fear has been expressed by numer
Gus officials that the new law will
leave big gap in the revenues of the
state, counties and local districts. This
shortage is expected to come because
of failure of large corporations to pay
their taxes in full in December. These
payments have been made in former
years in order to secure the five per
cent discount on the second half of the
tax
such persons as may desire to pay
their taxes in full in December will
receive no rebates Judge Hawkes.
stated. -It is necessary to pay only
one-half of the total tax in December.
The remaining half may be paid by
June 20 without penalty to the prop
erty ownerf. If the December~ tax
should lapse or the June one-half be
unpaid, penalties would be assessed on
the full or any unpaid portion of the

1--WE are willing to go to any limit
to maintain the right organized labor

one federation official
William S. Johnston. president of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, said he would order a vote
of the $4,000 members of his asso-
citation. He and other officials said
there was not a doubt that similar ac-
ton would be taken by all of the 112

Mr.. Johnston said there was in

employers to bind their workers with
individual contracts so as to shut out
true, he said, in the metal trades and
If all other means of advancing the
interests of the unions failed.
1t was made known that the pro-

Santa Fe Here Prepared To
Meet Coal Mine Strike.
But Plant Couldn't Hold Out
Long Against Shortage.
RAILROADS PREPARING TODAY
Frantic Efforts To Store Supply
in Yards in State.
Topeka Industries Have Fuel,
but VIII Feel Pinch.

Kansas railroads were today pre-
pairing their coal yards for the ordered
mine strike November l. Efforts to
distribute and store coal at vital points
were being made. it was asserted by
officials. with the realization that the
rail lines will feel the strike, if called,
in few days.
Kansas roads, as well as those thru
out the country, will be tied up or bad
ly crippled in about ten days after the
strike is effective. it is said. In some
parts of the state reports were that
the crisis would come a few days
quicker. Curtailment of service. both
passenger and freight, at the begin
ming in order to save fuel was re-
garded today as entirely possible altho
regarded as unavoidable if the tie-up
lasts many days.
Railroads this year were reported to
have the lowest reserve supply of coal
on hand in history, with the possible
exception of 1918, according to infOr-
tigation committee. This information
said coal distribution in the west was
more uneven than in the east, the ter
ritory included in the uneven area
including Kansas.
Using Oil Here.
Officials at the Santa Fe shops to-
day were optimistic as to their ability
to weather a coal strike of reasonable
length. Oil comprises a majority of
the shop fuel. it was asserted, and a
considerable supply was today held in
storage. A majority of the railroad
officials here expressed the belief the
mine tie-up would be short They ad-
mitted, however, if it "drags out" dis
aster to the states transportation sys-
tenn, as well as the nations, will be
unavoida BILE.
The average householder, retail Goa
dealers here predicted. will feel the
mine tie-up before industries. The
man who does not have a supply oi
fuel on hand when the strike opens i:
due to shiver. they said.
| Industries here, altho they have &
good" supply of coal on hand, theil
officials said. will feel the pinch alont
with the railroads. Many will be abl'
to run longer than ten days, it wa
asserted but this will be offset by in
dustries with small fuel reserves be
| ing forced to shut down.
