he will be the worlds champion pugil-
Int, or busted pug. As for the ar
rangements originally made regarding
the purses the fighters were to receive
100000 for Dempsey, and S2OO,OOO
for Carpentier-it may be said that
there is hardly chance that the scrap
will be held under those terms. 1t
the hoxing committee had not put q
$15 limit on seats for fights in New
York, Richard would have stuck to
his guns on the proposition originally
arranged by Charles Cochrane, the
English promoter, w. A. Brady and
Richard. That is he would have stuck,
assuming the fight were to be held in
this state. But even with the fight
held in New Jersey, or in fact in any
place where there would be no limit
to the price of seats, existing industrial
conditions would make exhorbitant
seat prices inadvisable.
All the chances, thus, are that the
fighters will meet on q percentage
basis and that they will battle in an
arena capable of holding the largest
crowd that ever looked upon q fight
or any sporting event.
It is said that the fighters are con-
yinced that they stand to clean up
on a percentage basis and Richard has
it where he can make money. But
even if he saw only chance to break
even, he would go ahead with the
fight. Tex Richard is more than a
promoter; he is gamester on big
scale and besides, he is a man who
loves to do big things in big way.
just for the sheer fun of doing them
He has given New York this season
more real sport than any city ever saw
and while he has taken IN more than a
million and a half dollars, he has not
made nearly the money that persons
think he has.
In one of the best fights he staged
the Leonard Richie Mitchell affair he
did not make a cent since the proceeds
went to the fund for restoring dew
astated France.
And SO in the end. this projected
Dempsey Carpenter fight swings back
to Richard. He seems positively to
know that the fight is going to be
held And his word is worth bank
ing on.

URGES GENERAL TAX LEVY

Miss Wooster Says Present Method Re
suits in Injustice.
Declaring that the present method
of school taxation in Kansas results
in inequality and injustice, Miss Lor-
raine E. Wooster, state superintendent
of public instruction, strongly recon-
mends a general state levy for school
purposes.
The levies of school districts varied
from nothing to 42.7 mills in the year
1880, while a general levy of six
mills would have given Kansas schools
a sum equal to the total amount raised
by the varied levies.
1.-THE legislature should take action
to equalize taxation" said Miss .Woos-
ter. MANY portions of the state pos
sess unusual advantages on account of
increased local valuations, due to oil,
gas, coal, mercantile and manufactur-
ing interests, railroads, etc. These
localities have relatively lower tax
rates than less favored sections.
"A general levy for school purposes
Of one mill on each dollar of valuation
would give $3,62O.744. a sum nearly
seven times the amount of income
from the state school fund, and more
than one-seventh of the total expendi-
lures for the public schools for
1890.

FRITTER|NC AWAY OUR
 BUSINESS RESOURCES

Evidence continues to grow that the United States should have a school of business and patriotism for its congressman and those whose duty it is to watch over the welfare and pros perity of the nation, says the Denver Mining Record.
 The resources of the United States should not be frittered away to add to the prosperity and wealth of for eign countries. The other world pow CTS recognize the extent and value of our oil resources, and while protect ing their supplies at home are aggres- sively developing and depicting ours.
 It would appear that there is pow erful but invisible force at work to keep this country from protecting it's own interests for fear that we might tread on the toes of some foreign nation. The only act of congress that
