Owing to tho fact that shrinkags in

ment of iron ore and lumber. Chicago

ing definite signs of recovery from the
depression experienced last year. AL
though its gross operating revenues OF
$53.995,307 in the first five months OF
the year represented decline Of $1.746.-
S66 from the same period In 1921. net
operating income reached total OF
$3.942.072, contrasted with an operating
deficit Of s4.461.094 year previous. Its
six months report Of operating results
probably win show around $5.161.000 In
net operating income. Assuming other
income and fixed charges on the 1871
basis. this would cover the half years
preferred dividend with a small margin
to spare for the common stock. IL
operating results for the last half OF
1922 do not exceed those Of the corre-
spending six months Of 1921, the years
final balance after preferred dividend
requirements should be about $685.. 600,
or approximately s3.70 a share on the
common stock.

Those fine winter onions which To-

where they are grown ahead of the
regular onion crop.
In justice to the substitute, however.
it may be said they are not as bad as
their name sounds. In fact, about the
only way to distinguish them from
onions is that the knot at the end is
missing but with all the other ele-
ments prevailing, the shape doesn't
make any difference.
Among the other products OF the
southern climate which are now pour.
ing into Topeka by express to whet UP
the weary appetite. are radishes, let
tuce, cabbage. peas, green beans and
new potatoes. The latter, however.
have not yet displaced the 1921 crop

The assessor is authorized to raise
or diminish the value OF any or all
property if he is satisfied the value
given is too high or too low. 1t is
also the duty OF the assessor to list
all property brought into the county
after March 1. and before September
1. for taxation that year, unless it
has already been listed in some other
county.
Special Statutes on Utilities.
" Special statutes cover the taxation
OF telephone, telegraph, railroad and
express companies, legacies and sue
cessions. banks, insurance companies.
merchants and manufa cturers and all
other corporations and private COM
panies- The main thing of interest to
the public is the fact that all property
must be listed and that heavy pen
aldes are provided for failure to make
a return or for representing the
value of property The necessity for
these provisions is obvious
The citizens of Shawnee county are
especially urged to give the assessors
all details regarding the number of
persons in the family. and correct
figures on agricultural. livestock,
poultry and fruit raising industries in
order that the statistics thus compiled
at the end OF the year may be correct.
The Topeka state journal., 1922-03-04


Nothing is so certain some sage
has remarked. as death and taxes.
He might have added that taxes are
especially certain from the viewpoint
of knowing that they will occur every
year
The deputy assessors of Shawnee
county have started out with large
books under their arms and with in
structions to list everything of value
in the county. The new piano in the
parlor, the gold watch that was grand
fathers. Nero. the dog. Old Dobbin
and the automobile. even If it won't
run are all subject to taxation. as Wen
a the house and lot. or the farm and
the buildings thereon. as the case may
be.
There is a certain sentiment per-
haps more in jest than earnest. against
the assessors. Mr.. Average CitizeI
usually grOans when he pays his taxes.
And usually it is the man who pays
the least that. groans the most But
il the matter is given a fair con-
realize that without taxation there
cannot be government and without
government there would be only
chaos.
Honesty Is Best Policy"
So. instead of hiding the diamonds
and watches and listing the house
hold goods and other property at a
civic duty of every property owner
TO tell the truth. the whole truth and
nothing but the truth Sometimes it
hurts. but in the long run it pays
divid ends. The assessor has an eye
for values and is not likely to be
deceived Beside. If it is discovered
that any property is purposely
omitted. the law provides that it be
taxed double. Moreover. the offender
maybe fined from $50 to $4,000.
The reports of the assessors taken
this spring will form the basis for
the tax to be levied for 1922. A GER
tain sum of money must be raised for
the cost of running city. county and
period. The smaller the valuation
in the county, the higher the tax rate
will be.

PLAN MANY IMPROVEMENTS
February Broke All Records in Total

The year 1922 will set a new high
record in Kansas municipal improve

for a, single month with a total of

The number of separate bonds reg
