This summary is based upon the re ports made monthly by the various railway ompanies to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Tables prepared by the Bureau of Hallway Kconomks from the reports made by the railways for the month of Novctubtir to the Interstate Com mart ComnUstion show that 'the bus ine..-- done by tfca railways of the United Stales In that mo.Hh was somewtu.. less loan the business done iu November. I!10, when metis ured by the I 41 ma per mile, the only basis on whieh CtMBparttO can properly be made. The total operating iv.iii,s of railways include their rccolptJ for freight ami passenger transportation, for nwiil and express service, atul for all ot-her traffl? sen ice n iidarai The average receipts ;.i November, 1911. for a little more than !0 per cent of the total asttMs pf the ooua try. were $1,054 k mih-. a deelii. ; $18 a mile from t'ie re. :pts in Nov ember. 1910. There vj decrease i i averag - ret elpls m both freight and passenger service.

I defy anyone to find a city of more than 1,500 popu lation In Kansas which doe aot have paved streets and its electric right plant. "A short tiano ago I got the rec ords in Jefferson City and found that the tax rolls showed the total assess ed property in Missouri is $1,650,000, 000. In Kansas, where we have hud prohibition for thirty years, 'he a inount Is $2,750,000,000. In th'v'.y years, from the poorest state In the country it has come to be the rlch est.

Judge Trickett said that $1.48 was Hi amount per capita spent by Km sns for llqucr in the last ten yejirs, while the figures for Missouri reached $24, Think of W." he said. "In the la-,1 twenty years you have spent 1, '"" million dollars for llauor, an a mount equal to your taxable proper ty. In that time Kansas has spent but 50 million dollars." Yesferday and Members of Jury Leave for Their Homes SOME THING8 NOT IN REPORT The final report of the grand jury was filed with the county clerk yes terday and the jury dispersed. The Herald secured a copy of thla report this afternoon but too iate to publish in full in this issue. The report embraces recommend ations in regard to the hotels of Al liance, some of the hotels being commended and some criticised. The city dumping grounds come in for criticism and rr-commendations. The Central School building, it is pointed cut. Is not safe on account of lack of fire escapes. The same a regard to St. Agne Academy. The Box Butte county court house takes a larger part of the report than any other cne Item, and prob ably deservi.i It because of its lack of room and pro.ier facilities for the transaction of county business. Fig ures are given showing that a suit able building could l - erected with out being burdensf m to the tax payer of the county, and in closing, the grand jurors say: "We believe hat it is high time some action should be taken, and recommend the oting of bonds for the cons) ruct io-i of a new court house." A good many things that it IMM been rumored the grand jury was in vestigating were not mentioned iu the report.
