. annual statu high school basketball
. tournament will be held at Newton

The city of Newton has offered a bonus
of $240 in order to get the tournament.
After the local expenses, which will be
small, are paid, the remainder will be
divided among the eight competing
teams, based on mileage. The fact that
Newton is quite centrally located, will
give the great part of the expenses
money to five teams, as the winning
schools in the fourth; the seventh and
eighth districts will have a small mile
age. Elegant wall placquettes are of
fered to the winners of first and sec
ond places.
The Lawrence high school represents
- the second district, Montgomery coun
ty, the third. Normal secondary school,
the fourth. Salina, the filth. Hill City,
the sixth and Reno county, the sev
enth. The winners from the first and
eighth district will be decided in a few
days.
This promises to be the classiest high
. school athletic event ever staged in

HAYS SCHOOL NOT DETACHED.
Act of Congress Makes Experiment
Station Part of X'ormal.
Washington, D. C, March 9. Changes
in the act of congress granting to the
state of Kansas the Fort Hays Military
reservation are proposed in a bill intro
duced in the senate by Senator Thompson
and in the house bv Representative Con
nelW of Kansas, under the act of con
gress approved March 28. 1900, the Fort
Hays reservation was ceded by the fed
eral government to Kansas "for the pur
pose of establishing an experiment sta
tion of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege and a western branch of the State
Normal school, and for a public park."
Although the Normal school maintained
by the state at Fort Hays is in reality a
separate and distinct institution, it is
technically, on account of the act of con
gress ceding the reservation, a branch of
the State Normal school. The pending
bill will make it possible for the institu
tion to be either a normal school or an
agricultural college, or branch of either
of these state institutions.

Of S,2tt la State Only 1.SM Have Paid
Special Tax. "S
Of 1,2(9 live corporations in Kansas,
1,868 of the number have paid their
corporation tax Into the office of
Charles Sessions, secretary of state.
The total collections up to this time
amount to $52,450. As most of the re
port have been from small corpora
tions, it is probable that the corpora
tion tax to be realized by the state
this year will total $150,000 to $200,
000. Under the corporation tax law, a
penalty is provided for failure to pay
the tax before March 31. When the
books are closed April 1, the secre
tary of state will certify to the attor
ney general a list of all corporations
failing to report and pay fees. Legal
action can then be taken by the state.
For these prosecutions, the legislature
set aside a special fund for use by the
attorney general's ofrice.
- Of the 3,269 live domestic corpor
ations, about 300 are either in the
process of liquidation or were or
ganized after July 1, 1913. It is a
question as to -the number of corpor
ations in course of liquidation from
which fees can be collected. Corpor
ations organized since July 1, will not
be compelled to pay a tax this year.
There are at -present 577 foreign
corporation on the books of the sec
retary of state. Of these. 64 have
either been admitted since July 1, or
have filed notice of withdrawal from
the state, leaving j513 foreign corpora
tions from which! a tax may be col
lected.
"When the secretary of state's first
report was completed today, it showed
that a total of 1,368 domestic and 125
foreign corporations had paid into the
state treasury a tax aggregating $52,-
450. Sedgwick county has the record
number of corporation of any county
in the state. It has reported 295 live
corporations. Shawnee county is sec
ond on the list with 187 corporations.
Montgomery county third, with. 184;
Wyand6tte fourth, with 167; Crawford

DoHey's Stand for Principle.
William Allen White in discussing J.
N. Dolleys noted stand for political
principles, says in an editorial in the
Emporia Gazette:
"There are no bubbles now to mark
the spot where Hon.- Dolley went down.
He didn't make enough of a splash to
wet his own feet. It was just three
months ago, that Hon. Joe stood up be
fore the Progressive conference and
bull-roared about his principles. He
knew then that Arthur Capper was go
ing to run on the Republican ticket
and would not run on the Progressive
ticket. His principles were lathering
then. But when a man was nominated
on the Progressive ticket who would
be liable not to appoint Hon. Joe bank
commissioner, his principles began to
grow calm. x
"Hon. Joe Dolley is a great man for
his principles up to a certain point!"
And in another paragraph. White re
views the Capper harmony game by
declaring:
"It appears that while" Hon. Joe
Dolley has come out for Capper, Hon.
A. W. Smith has come out against Cap
per. This makes the score stand 0 to 0
in the first inning."

Chicago. March t.-WHEAT-General j
selling of wheat oy commwou -today
wiped out gains due to a moderate
ly bullish construction of the government
report on farm reserves. The selling did
not develop, however, until the market
had made a fair advance. Large world
shipments and perfect conditions for the
domestic winter crop counted against the
bulla Opening prices were 14c to c
higher, and there was a slight additional
upturn before the reaction set In.
A decrease in the visible supply figures
led afterward to a slight rally. The close
was steady at the same as ' " Saturday
night to Je-higher.
CORN Reserves, the' smallest since
1904, had only a temporary, strengthening
effect on corn.. Snapping, conditions re
mained disappointing. Although prices at
the outset were a shade to 'Ac higher, the
market soon went under last night's level.
Stop loss orders and absence of support
increased the weakness. The close was
steady, o off to He up compared with
Saturday night.
OATS Sentiment regarding oats was al
most universally bearish. A 'Sharp break
came right at the start and there was no
sign of any important rally.
PROVISIONS Higher prices for hogs
carried provisions up grade. Grain weak
ness, however, brought about a subse
quent fall. , - .
