Handy Airman.

Air navigation will long have its
difficult situations, some being typical
and some exceptional. Here Is one
that was handled masterful-. the
other day in the service betweeA Paris
and London. A French pilot carrying
passengers after crossing the channel
in driving storm found himself be-
coming disabled. He wirelessed to
an emergency station on the French
shore near Calais, and then success
fully came down with twelve passen-
gers. Everything was working to
meet the emergency. When the plane
touched the earth corps of experts
was ready. Within fifteen minutes a
new propeller was put on and motor
trouble corrected. OF went Pilot

passengers only twelve minutes be-

license" n.
"Yes, have"
"Well, where is it y asked the driver.
''Do l have to show 1t to him?" she

The Good Old DAYS.

Yesterday forenoon well-dressed
young lady, apparently about fifteen
years Of age, attempting to cross Grand
street In her walk up Broadway, was
encountered by large hog, running
from a dog. He struck her with such
force as to knock her Off her feet, and
In falling, she struck her head
on a large stone, which cut cash
of nearly quite three inches In length
nor was 1t until after she had lain In
a senseless and bleeding state for near
ly two hours that she came to her
self. How long are the citizens to en-
'dure this dangerous nuisance in ope1

LATzkE WORRIES SOME MORE

VIM. Latzke OF Rinehart has EVIL
dently sent to the Star the same
wall about hard surfaced roads that
he sent 10 the Reflector and Capital.
This paper looked up the records ana
finds that he has $40 acres OF rich
farm land In this county and over
SO, 600 of personal property, his
assessed valuation being x30, 800,
which probably IL not one half It's
read value. In addition Mr.. Latzke
owns 90 quarter sections In Scott
and Finey counties which he bought
cheap ana are now valuable. On all
his property he pays the tremendous
tax of $46.37 for hard surfaced roads
and keeps his wall rising to heaven
IN any paper that will print 1t. lie
has made al his money In Kansas;
ten years ago he paid taxes on less
than $4,000 In this county. lf all
the people Of Dickinson were or MI
Latzke's disposition and took the
same view Of progress that ne does
this would still be n wllderness-0r
would be owned by Il few men ike
y
want 10 let any Of II 90. The star
offers some remarks Of its own that
are pertinent:
"Mr. Iatzkc takes the view that
his farm Is worth less every time
ronl IS built on the theory that roads
cost money. Certainly rohds do cost
mpcy. So do houses and barns. On
the same theory, however, Mr..
LatZkc's farm would be worth less
every time he placed nn improve
mcnt upon It, because 1t would cosi
him something. and he wonid be
compelled to pay interest upon that
cost.
"Surcly Mr.. LatZke does not mean
to say that the business man does
not pay taxes on his property ana
does not contribute. proportl0nately,
with the farmers. Let Mr.. IatZke
lndulre as to the men In Dickinson
for instance, who are urg-
ing good roads, and see II he does
not find that they are among the
taxpayers in the county.
Federal aid comes from the fed
rrsl government No Kansas farm
or paws anything into the federal
MD fund other than what he pays
into the federal treasury in the way
II income tax. Every man pays his
share Of income tax. The farmers
ire not as rule, big income tax
Dayers. 1t would be as ridiculous
o saw that che farmer Is taxed spec
fically to pay the expense OF the
navy as TO say that he is taxed for

land = swould -beA. quite ~ correct tt
| say that the state taxes were IN
creased last year to maintain tht
army as to say that state taxes were
increased TO pay for good roads.
"The original log cabins OF the
smoky Hill valley did not cost much
But they are all gone now. They
have been replaced by big. modern
houses. And for this cost there wat
no federal aid. The farmers bore MI
the cost and for the reason that they
believed a modern house was a good
investment In comfort and better liv-
ing conditions for the families.
1.-The only theory for the building
Of modern roads Is that II adds TO
the living conditions Of cmmunities
and, In additin, It makes for econ
omy I'm rural transportation. No com
munfty would invest In hard sur
faced road II 1t did not believe II
was an Investment that would pay
dividends In the way Of intangible
values amounting to more than the
original cost and unkeep OF the road.
"In Kansas, however, the question
Of whether or not n road Is 10 Do
built fs left entirely with the people.
no road can be built unless ma
iorty Of the land owners and ma
lority OF the citizens petition for 1t.
The state does not compel the build
ing Of roads.
"Pcrhaps Mr.. Latzke would say
that II should he made impossible for
n majority Of the people to build
roads even II they desired to do so.
If that IL what Mr., Latzke wants
we hardly know what to advise. we
know good many people OF that
sort who are demanding that the
be given the power to die
tate to the majority--and some OF
Them are running for office in Kan
Sas on that issue, although they are
Keeping il veled. Perhaps Mr..
Latzkc might break into the list OF
on that platform.
