ORIGIN OF COUNTY NAMES
Brief Sketches of Kansas County
Names, Compiled by Kansas Of
fetal of Topeka.

Chase-Organized in 1853; county
seat, Cottonwood Falls. This county
was created from parts of Wise and
Butler counties. 1t was named in
honor of Salmon P. Chase, who was
successfully governor of Ohio, United
States senator. secretary of the treas
ury and chief justice of the United
States supreme court. He was strenu-
ously opposed to the perpetuation of
slavery by its injection into the terri
torial laws.
Chautauqua - Organized in 1876:
county seat, Sedan. Originally what
is now ChautauQua county was called
Godfrey county, in honor of "BiH"
Usage Indians. It afterward became
Howard county, and the honor of this
name was conferred on Gen. o. O..
Howard, a champion of the negro
Jaquins, who introduced the bill to
divide Howard county into Chau-
tauqua and Elk counties, when a
member of the house of representa-
tives, one of the counties was named
|Chautauqua, because Jaquins came
from the county in New York of that
name.
Cherokee-Organize in 1866: coun-
ty seat. Columbus. This county was
la compliment to E. MCGEE, member
of the territorial legislature who lived
in Missouri, and who helped make
Kansas laws and voted in Kansas. He
held that ..inhabitant" as referred to
in the organic act of the territory of
Kansas, meant anybody or everybody
who happened to be in Kansas on
election day. In 1856 the county was
renamed and Cherokee chosen by rea-
son of the Indian reservation Of that
tribe which extended into the county.
Cheyenne-Boundari defined in
lisa, but not organized until 1886;
county seat. Bird City. Named after
the well known Indian tribe that once
roamed the western pra1ries.
Clark-Organize in 1885; county
seat, Ashland. There is no doubt but
that this county was named for
Charles F. Clarke, captain and adju-
tant general United States volunteers,
who died at Memphis, Tenn. Deem
Der 10. 1862. But the legislature of
1873, fearful that the final 'te" in the
name would be associated with a
state of that day who was not in
accord with the majority. politically.
passed a bill dropping the ''e".
C1ay-organized in 1856; county
seat, Clay Center. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that this county was
named in honor of the celebrated ora
tor and statesman, Henry Clay. of
Kentucky, who was chosen United
States senator in 1906, and served al
most continuously for forty-six years.
He opposed Polk for the presidency
and had been minister to France.
Cloud-Organized in 1860: county
seat, Concordia. Originally this coun-
ty was named Shirley, after Governor
William Shirley. colonial governor of
Massachusetts from 1741 to 1855. In
1867, the name was changed to Cloud
as a compliment to Col. William F.
Cloud, of the Second Kansas Volun-
teers, at the instance of Representa-
tive ]. B. Rupe, a member of the leg
iSlature from that county.

STAGE BIENNIAL BURLESQUE
Large Crowd Packed Into Legislative
Halls Friday Night.

Before a crowd that packed legis-
lative hall, the lobby and galleries,
house members, their wives and legis-
lative employees staged the biennial
burlesque of the Kansas law makers.
The 1921 show was a, big hit and won
loud applause from the persons who
keep books on the secrets and hopes
and ambitions and the strength and
sfrailties of individual members.
1t was a true farmer legislature
which sat CARRIED in overalls and
smoked corn cob pipes as the business
of building new statutes proceeded.
There were cigarets. too. But the
show simply had to be kept on the
purity list. In consequence. Mrs Ray
Morris. Kearney county; Mrs. D. E.
Lamb. Dickinson county; and Mrs. L.
A. Hasty, Sedgwick county-wives of
legislators-sat as a board of censors
to safeguard the tender morals of
weak and wobbly visitors.
Gibbons of Meade, Knapp of Mont
gomery, Jeffrey of Sedgwick and En-
.dres Of Leavenworth staged bur-
1esque on women made laws and
panned the legisladies of the 1921 ses-
sion. Sawhill of Cloud sang a parody
on Little Orphan Annie" and Char
ley Mann of Osborne impersonated
members of the house. Both won loud
applause. Miss Kathryn Albaugh
and Miss Mabel Elmore with readings,
the Modoc club songs and selection by
a Glee club from the Industrial insti-
tute gave color and range to the

COURT is NOT TO BLAME
Congress Responsible for Economic
Crime" Says A. L. Van Petten.

Congress Responsible for Economic
Crime" Says A. e. Van Petten.
with the wisdom and policy of this
legislation We have nothing to do. Ours
is only the function of ascertaining
whether congress in the creation of the
banks, and in exemptfng these securi-
ties from taxation, federal and state,
has acted within the limits of its con-
stitutional authority"
So says the United States supreme
court in closing a long technical opin-
ion sustaining the constitutionality OF
the tax exemption of land bank bonds.
1.-The dignity of the court would not
permit of a more explicit apology for
UNFOLDING a law which in its effects is
unjust to American taxpayers, wage
earners and consumers" said A. E.
Van Petten, president of the Pioneer
Mortgage company in Topeka, today.
THE honorable, the supreme court
of the United States, decides cases
according to it's technical view of the
law. The strength and value to the
nation of this highest judicial tribunal
depends upon its impartial interpreta-
ton of the constitution and statutes
In this particular case the court dis
claims responsibility for its decision
and thus points out that an appeal for
justice be made to congress.
Congress enacted the income tax
law providing that very wealthy peo-
having less wealth. Because congress,
by the tax exemption section, provided
a way to permit rich citizens to evade
taxes and throw heavier burdens on
those less able to pay, the supreme
court cannot be rightfully blamed.
1.-The men and women of the country
who work for their living and those
who own taxable property or receive
taxable incomes, constitute the court
which must try the case and hand the
decision to congress.
1.-THE decision in the land bank case
opens the gates for all kinds of tax
exemptions.
eve can now have tax free coal
mine bonds; tax free cotton bank
bonds: tax free railroad bonds; tax
free wool growers bonds; tax free
packing house bonds; tax free depart
mill bonds; tax free mail order house
bonds. 1t is only necessary for con-
gress to declare them to be 1nstru-
mentalities of the Government and to
say the organizations that issue them
are created to buy bonds of the United
States.
This year war taxes amounting to
s252,0O0,0 900 were paid on railroad
freight and passenger transportation
charges. This tax hits agriculture in
dustry and business. 1t is estimated
that there are over $4,000, 100000 tax
free bonds in the country ACCORDING
to the Bond Buyer of February 5,
1921, s1,446, 5000 were issued in
1920 by states and municipalities In
5,525 issues of long and short time
securities. The taxes evaded thru
ownership of exempt bonds is greater
than the war tax on railroad trans
portation.
"The annual issues grow bigger
every year. Congress can now still
further increase tax exemptions by
granting that special privilege to every
business interest which can control
enough votes.
''Unless people wake up the country
will soon be divided into two classes.

bills were brought out of committee,

PASS MARKET BILL
The Cooperative Measure Is
Amended by Senate.
Shawnee County Senator Says
1t Is Too Broad.

The senate, Friday afternoon, after
passing amendments which drew its
teeth, passed the cooperative market
ing association bill presented by the
committee on agriculture. which was
a bone of contention in the upper
house Thursday. and was passed over
at that time
The bill was modelled, originally, on
the laws which created the monopoly
of the products of the fruit growers
of California.
Many Amendments Offered.
Senator Fisher. of Shawnee county,
believed that the bill was far too
broad, and submitted number of
amendments which operate to confine
the activities of the associations more
closely to the handling of agricultural
products, instead of permitting them
to function freely in other fields.
In his first attack on the bill Thurs
day, Senator Fisher declared that it
gave the marketing associations more
power than would be permitted to any
other corporation, under any circum-
stances. The amendments which he
presented Friday afternoon were pre-
pared after discussion with Senator
Gates, the author of the bill and were
acceptable to the author and to the
members of the committee on agricul-
ture which had introduced the meas
ure.
But Senator Green, of Elk county,
didn't like to see the bill get such
treatment.
I'VE farmers now have a right to
breathe the fresh air and drink the
pure water of this great state. The
bill as it is now amended doesn't leave
us with any more rights than we had
before" Senator Green declared. and
moved that the enacting clause be
stricken out His motion, however,
was lost, and the friends of the bill
coming toe it's rescue, it was finally
passed.
Hegler Bill Is Passed.
The senate also passed the Hegler
bill which authorizes the use of alco-
hol or alcoholic drinks which are con-
fiscated i'll the enforcement of the
prohibition laws, by city and county
health officers, for medicinal pur-
poses.
The mothers pension law of the
state is amended in a bill by the COM
mittee on temperance and hygiene,
which was passed by the senate this
afternoon, so that the county commits
sioners have the power of deciding
whether or not the payment of pen
sions to widows with dependent chff-
dren shall be paid, or whether they
shall not, and fixing the payment at
$50 a month instead of $25 month.
