an inflated balloon and, according to the
State Board Of Accounts report, 1t grows
bigger as election approaches.
THE public funds of this county are
being pillaged by this machine, which
has a strangle hold upon the Republican
organization in this county and whose
members are elected upon a plea Of good
government and clean politics.
This machine has deliberately set out
to carry this coming election at all
hazards.
When our county chairman, Reginald
Sullivan, told County Auditor Fesler that
we wanted to examine the registrations
from certain precincts where we under
stood many were false and fraudulent;
he was refused this right, and in order
to examine the registrations In these
precincts, which we had a clear legal
right to do, 1t was necessary for us to
bring a mandamus proceeding against
the Republican county auditor, whichNre-
suited in Judge Mol of the Marion Su-
perior Court issuing a writ of mandate,
compelling Fesler to permit US to ex-
anime these registrations.
II serve notice upon the Republican
machine in this county that We are not
going to be trifled with in this cleo
ton.
I'VE are going to insist upon the
rights which the law gives us and we
are going to continue clean, aggressive
hght against the political domination to
which we have been subjected by these
political plunderers, in the hope and with
the confidence that we are receiving the
support of the thousands Of right think
ing Republican and independent voters

REVISE TAX SYSTEM osHANT
Advocates Single Tax Amendment
Vote on 1t in November

On Tuesday, June Is, before the
Hays Chamber of Commerce lunch
con, attended by business men and
students of the Commercial Club of
the Fort Hays Kansas Normal School,
H. W. Oshant gave a very interesting
an obstructive talk on our present
tax system. He brought forth many
facts that show the injustices of our
present system, ad the necessity of
such a revision as viii be made pos
sible by the acceptance of this State
of the Amendment to our present tax
statutes which will be submitted to a
popular vote this coming November.
He told how the tax laws of this state
were adopted in 1859 and that all at
tempts to change them have been in
vain. Several laws have bee passed
to that effect, but they have been i'm
mediately declared null and void by
the state supreme court.
Some of the injustices of our pres
ent~ system pointed out by him were:
ID The fictitious valuation of prop
erty, /. e., if a man holds a mortgage
of $4,000 on real estate valued at
$6000t the man owning mortgage
pays taxes on the face value of it,
while the man owning the property
pays taxes on his property valuation
of $4,000, making a valuation of SILL
600 on property whose value is only
$4,000. ~ One-half the wealth of
the state is in intangible property, i.
E., property that cannot be seen or
that can be hidden, such as stocks and
bonds. It is estimated by authorities
on cur tax system, that hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of this in
tangible property is never taxed by
the state, due to the fact that assess
ors have no way of finding it.
Several states of the Union, includ-
ing California and Minnesota, have
eliminated these injustices from their
tax system, which was previously
much the same as ours. They did this
by doing away with the tax on per-
sOnal property, and substituting in its
place graduated income tax on in
comes over $500. Real estate is the
basis of taxation in this new system.
This is called the single tax system.
In those states where it has been tried
it has actually succeeded in lowering
the mills tax per dollar of valuation.
Still the maount of revenue derived
from it by the state was larger, due

DO you KNOW HOW TO USE THE
PUBLIC LIBRARY?

This was the question put to the
business men of Hays last Tuesday
at the noon luncheon by Miss Kath-
ryn McLain, City Librarian. How
many times have you wasted hours OF
valuable time leafing over the pages
of various magazines at home or the
office vainly hunting for some article
you remember having read not long
ago? Do you know that there is at
the public library readers guide
which indexes for you every bit of
material which has appeared in Ger
tain magazines from the year 1915
to May 21st, 1920? By simply call
ing the librarian, she can turn to this
guide and tell you in few moments
just where the article is that you
want. Or you can drop in yourself
and find it in a few minutes. Do you
know that the encyclopaedia at the
public library is up to date to March
21st, 1920, or do you refer to the old
9th Edition of the Britannica? Do
you know that we have the very last
edition of the dictionary? There are
all the current magazines to enable
you to keep posted on the things that
you need in your business. There are
fifteen late books on advertising and
other special lines in which business
men are interested.
Miss McLain went on to tell of the
increasing scope of the library work
and that at the next session of the
legislature there would be a bill in
troduced to extend these libraries to
the rural districts of the counties so
that the rural districts may have the
same advantages and the same ser
vice as the cities. Another develop
ment of the work is the system which
in Minnesota where the public
libraries work in conjunction with
the public schools and the public
librarian trains some of the high
school students, as well as teachers,
if they care to take the work. She
goes to the public schools and sees
that they have the books they need.
The public library board and the
school boards work together to bring
about greater efficiency to the schools
and teach the young people how to
use the public library.
The public library is a city insti-
tuition and is operated not for profit
but for service to the public. 1t is
an institution which many people fail
to appreciate and use, largely from
ignorance of its functions.
