STILL KICK ON LAW
of Little Towns Would
Gust 9-Hour Law.

Merchants In the smaller Kansas
cities and towns hope TO be allowed
to keep their stores open Saturday
nights later than . o'clock. as a re-
suit Of hearing TO be held Febru-
AIRY 23 before the state mercantile
board. A rehearing OF the nine hour
ruling for women employees in mer-
camille establishments has been al
lowed by the industrial welfare com
mission
Under the present ruling OF the
mercantile board. as approved by the
industrial welfare commission. WON
en- employed in mercantile establish
ments cannot work later than -
O'Clock at night. The small town
merchants maintain that this ruling
practically cuts them out Of their
Saturday night business They have
been trying for u year to get the or
der modified.
The efforts Of the merchants lave
stirred up the ire of some of the
Kansas club women who worked for
years to secure such law.
Some of the merchants declare ii
is women's own fault that change
in the law is asked. They simply
would not do their trading during
la xtIi,,bf hnnrs
The nine-h hour law has been effee-
tive Ia Kansas for the last two
years. The complaint now being
made is against Saturday night clos
ing The complainants declare that
their patrons wish to shop late SAT
urday nights and that the girls en-
ployed in the store like to stay
On the other hand most of the
girls think that the women should
he educated to shop early In the day
and not wait until after the picture
shows in the winter time or after
the band concerts in the summer
time to do their shopping.
Communications have been reeeiv |
ed by Miss Lima Bresette, secretary |
of the Kansas industrial welfare
commission, from irate club women
actively disturbed over the prospects |
Of possible riddling of the law. Miss
Maggie NefT, of Harper. and Mrs.
Myra Stevenson, of Pratt, are con
upset over the matter and
have started out to try to convert !
the complaining merchants into the
idea that the nine-hour law is good
thing. G..
Three women are on the merGan-
lie board Mrs. j. 10. Raymond, of

at Spruce last evening by the Red

driving the car had the right Of way

SAVED S5ss TAX REBATE
That's What Ii Would Have Been
In 1919.

Many people predicted that, with
the rebate abolished this year, the
taxes would not be paid up by 1920
in sufficient amount to meet the ex-
penses Of the county. Reports by
the county treasurer of Dickinson
county, however, show that the pro
portion of the 1913 tax paid Jan
81, 1919 was S51a per cent and the
proportion of the 1919 tax paid
Jan, 81, 1920 was 7lh per cent,
despite the absence of the usual in-
centive which the rebate offered to
'citizens for prompt payment.
The rebate allowed on 1918 tax
was $12.772.47 or per cent of al
the taxes. All of this rebate was
charged to the county general fund.
Neither the state, school districts,
the cities, or other funds stood any
portion of the rebate though it was
on all taxes Of all kinds
The special tax Of the cities of the
0ncluding interest and sink
ing funds) for 1919, was 500, 80.
Had the rebate been allowed this
year it would have amounted to-
about $5s5 on the special tax This
would have meant that the county
general fund would have been charg
ed with the amount of the rebate |
and that every tax payer in the

lelp pay the special tax levied by |
