that their children are mostly or pri-

Harry Trout Hit Over the Head With
Club

Harry Trout, Rock Island EN-
ploye, was assaulted near the round

killed. 1t Is reported that a man who
was later recognized as Mr.. Blye
secreted himself between two cars by
a path Mr.. Trout would us in going

ATTACKS SCHOOL TAXATION
Miss Wooster Favors q General State
Levy

Declaring that the present method
Of school taxation In Kansas results
In inequality and injustice, Miss Lor-
raine Il. Wooster, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, strongly rec
ommends general state levy for
school purposes.
The levies Of school disthricts var
led from nothing to APT mills in the
year 1919-20, while a general levy
Of sir 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
Wooster. MANY portions Of the state
possess unusual advantages on &C.
count of increased local valuations,
due to oil, gas, coal, mercantile and
manufacturing interests, railroads,
etc. These localities have relatively
lower tax rates than less favored sec.
lions.
"A general levy for school purposes
of one mill on each dollar Of valuation
would give 5000, 744, q sum nearly
seven times the amount Of income
from the state school fund, and more
than one. seventh Of the total expen-
ditures for the public schools for
1890"

INSURANCE RATES TO INCREASE
Abilene Lacks Fire Protection Says
Insurance Journal

The following dispatch from To-
peka appears In the National Under
writer. an insurance journal publish
ed at Chicago;
"The people OF Abilene, Kan, have
protested the big hike In insurance
rates caused by the Reconsideration Of
the town by the Kansas Inspection
Bureau. The bureau has dropped the
town from the third to the 4 n class
and the Reconsideration has been APP
proved by the state rating bureau. 1t
would be impossible for the town to
maintain Its third class rating except
by the expenditure OF large amount
of money to improve the hre protec-
ton. A city Of slightly above 5000
population could not maintain the
protection required for third class
rating except by high taxes.
"The new classification will bring
an increase In rates for brick build
ings Of 28 per cent and 8 per cent
on the contents. The incrOase for
frame business buildings will be IA
per cent and II per cent for the con-
tents. The business men and city or
ticials are planning to make some I'M
provements In the fire protection
which may bring the town up pos
sible two points In classification"
About a year ago In a talk before
the Commercial club an insurance
man told the town this would come
and plans were made for system OF
mains around the town that would
meet conditions. 1t would cost about
$4,000 and nothing was done. Ac-
cording to this report we are placed
In the same class with Solomon and
Chapman as to rates. An inspector
was here a few weeks ago and 1t Is
supposed that the change Is based on
his report. The city has taken no
action officially In protest, but proba-
bly, will resent the change OF rates
In view of the excellent record OF the
fire department.
