CALL FOR STATE TAXPAYER
CONVENTION
Respectfully,
H. S. Capps, NJ. D.,
Co. Health Officer

Whereas the assessed value of the
wealth of the state, its subdivisions
and municipalities, mas increased
double, treble and in many instances
ten times above the value of ten
years ago.
Whereas the rate of tax on the
assessed valuation on the same has
increased to double and quadruple
of what it was ten years ago.
Whereas all business as a rule
when the volume of income doubles
and trebles, the overhead expense per
dollar decreases and becomes less
each year.
Whereas the management of the
different divisions of organized terri
tory of the great state of Kansas
has gradually increased the expend-
itures per one dollar assessed valua-
tioon IN the face of an ever growing
value of property for taxation until
the rate of taxes has reached a point
that threatens bankruptcy to an
alarming and ever increasing num-
iber of our people.
Be it Resolved, that it be the
sense of the delegates here assembled
to call state convention of The
Kansas State. Taxpayers Organiza-
tfon to be held at the Representative
Hall, Topeka, Kansas, on March 9th,
at 10 a. m, for the purpose of adapt
ing plan to force economy in all
deuartments of the State of Kansas
and in all departments of the sub
divisions of the State of Kansas, and
to bring about the abolishing of un-
necessary offices, to consolidate Of
fees where economy can be obtained
and to abolish the expenditures OF
the taxpayers money to pay political
debts of office holders of the State
of Kansas and the subdivisions OF
the State of Kansas, and to save the
farms and homes to the owners and
occupants who have labored and
.practiced economy life time to win.
We appeal in the name of this
State Conference to each and all
taxpayer organizations in the State
to get busy in gathering information
bearing upon public expenses and IN
the selection of competent and active
delegates who will attend the state
convention at Topeka, March 9th.
We urge that delegates come equip
ned with definite information as to
the needs of their respective coun-
ties and municipalities in the way OF
legislation to secure greater economy
in public business.
We especially appeal to all cOun-
ties and municipalities that have not
yet local taxpayer organizations, to
at once proceed to organize and take
action along the lines set forth in the
above appeal, by sending their dele
gates to the State Convention.
The basis of county representation
shall be one delegate and alternate
for each $500 population or major
fraction thereof, provided however,
that each county is entitled to at
least two delegates.
We urgently request the press of
the State to print the. above call in
the interest of their patrons.

A GLOBE-TROTTER IN HAYS


Hays has not realized that it had a
globe-trotter in one of its residents
because he says little about it, but
the Rev. G. A. Baldwin of the Meth
odist Church, has been on four of
the five continents of the globe.
Once a Missionary in Africa, on his
way home he visited western Asia
and Southern Europe as a sightseer.
Out of this experience he has pre-
pared serial travel lectures and at
one time was on the Lyceum plat
form.
In addition to his lectures Mr..
Baldwin has prepared the Pageant,
''In Darkest Africa" which will be
given III the Strand Theater, Mon
day, March 6. In this pageant is
presented many things which he saw
and learned in the dark continent. A
native village will be set on the stage
and customs, games, a native we'd
ding and many other features of
native African life viii be shown.
Believing that the Ophir of the
Bible is in South Africa, this pageant
will present King Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba as some of the rob
bers of Africa. Americas connec-
ton with Africa will be shown in
the slave scene.
Naturally Mr. Baldwin will see the
religious problem in Africa and so
the third episode presents such char
acters as Livingstone, Stanley and
Mackay. Natives will sing in the
native tongue and the preacher viii
deliver a real African sermon in Eng
lish so it may be understood. Mo
hammedanism also is making its ap-
peal and the MOhammedan prayer
form will be seen in all its elabora-
tions.
In the final scene the stage is
crowded with the characters who
have determined to see Africa
through.
Mr.. Baldwin had charge of the
demonstration end of the Africa
Building at the great Centenary Ex-
position at Columbus, Ohio, in June
July, 1919, which was visited by more
than million people and in the
fourth week of this Exposition this
pageant was presented three times.
