In Taxation Fifteen Years Has Elapsed Since the
Adoption of Present Constitution
What Kentucky Has Lost by
That Period, Is Not
Seventeen i';n h.it clap--' 1 since
the adopt Ion b ot lis pies
tnt constitution Wh.it it h.is lost
by Us system of taxation dining that
period. It is not possible to estimate
In th-' it which Its the home of
the writer of thin paper,, one after
another business men who hml been
horn there or had made their homes
there for vents, have been compelled
to exchange their Kentucky homes
for residences elsewhere to avoid
the pavment of taxes upon shnres of
stock in business corporations which
had already paid taxes upon their
entire corporate property in the State
of their location.
The men who hae left Kentucky
for the reasons mentioned were Rood
citizens who contributed to the material
growth and development of the
city and Mate of their residence, and
their removal is nn it reparable loss.
The moliilitv of certain kinds of
propertv, the rase with which they
can be and are carried, at tills day. i Trying the constitutional rule for
from one slate to another, especially taxation in Kentucky by the
the careful attention of i proved canons of taxation and the
eveiy len.sintor and every student of principles subsidiary thereto, and
the subject of taxation. I look I nc at the results niinliie.i ii
!f tl" t x upon movable property
will take tle larger part of the Income
derhed therefrom. It will In
large p-it either go out of the atate
or Into hiding An Instance illustrating
thia better than any other
if drawn fioni the ment history of
Baltimore, Maryland I'nder a rate
upon securities of various kinds, the
same a" that upon real estate, the
assessment upon property of that
kind In Baltimore was only
and the revenue therefrom to the
itv about $90,000.
I'nder an amended law a rote of
thirty cents upon each hundred dollars
Has fmposed unon property of
th desr Iptlon mentioned and thereupon
the returns of such property
for taxation ran. tin to $100,000,000
and the revenue to the cltv under
h diminished rate amounted to
$300,000.
The effect upon re-il estate of the
hiding or removal of money and securities
from the sfaK Is that the
hii den of taxation upon real estate
cai' 'tit be diminished. nd its owners
must also pav j r.n'e of
Interest 'or the use of money than
would otherwise he the case.

REFORMS
Its System of Taxation During
Possible to Estimate.
svlvania
there pioperfv fur pllipoHeg of
uiv.ition is classified, the tax upon
at h class is uniform, no class is
t.ived more than once and the state,
counties and the cities derive
their leteuueH. respective!) , from
different classes
No state tax whatever Is impoi.'d
upon count r or urban real estate,
but the state obtains its revenue front
public corporations, licenses, bonds
and securities of various forms which
are taxed at a low rate, and from
hanks.
The revenue of counties and cities
is derived almost exclusively from
r?ul estate.
And yet in Allegheny county. In
hleh the city of Pittsburg Is situ
ated, the rate upon farm lnnds Is
only twenty-six and a half cents
uK)ti each one hundred dollars.
while in Kentucky the rate Is Jifty
'cents
has signally falletl to accomplish that
which itg advocates hoped and believed
that it would and It has not
subserved the general welfare of the
slate.
It has not lessened the burden
upon the owners of farm ami
city real estate, but, upon the contrary,
that burden has been increased.
Persons haviiiK capital tcr invest
have not been lead to seek homes In
Kentucky, but have sought other
fields In which to make their investments.
In consequence of a
change in the form of dolug business
and the conversion of partnerships
into corporations, residents of the
tate Interested In business corporations
located elsewhV have been
c 'mpelled to take up their reNdence
w'thfii the state in which the
has Its legal home and In
which It pays taxes upon Its property,
so as to avoid taxation upon
flie shares of slot k held by them in
nor -resident corporation.
Our present constitution and the
1.. as enacted pursuant to It have not
diminished the rate of luterest at
which money can be boi rowed in this
state.
I'pon the contrary, at a time prior
the flu tnclal stringency, which be-v,an

"The doctors and "dentists

habit of kissing This is a reforma
tion that Is just a little harder propo
sition mat 1 no wnisky question. Tho A
Ptirltnns of the eastern stntes at one
time made It a crime for n man to
kiss his wife on Sunday, but for some
cause It had little effect on tho younger
generation. Whllo there la no
biblical proof one way or tho other
gaged in this pleasant pastime, one
thing Is very certain, not a great
ninny generations have come and
gone" until the young people got on
to the bliss."
