Returns jg Retard Development and Lower Stand ard of Integrity Efforts To secure a Better System of Taxation Has Been Persistent for Fifteen Year. Frankfort. Ky. (Special) The ef forts to secure a better system of taxa tion for Kentucky have been per sistent for fifteen years but owing to the ironclad restrictions in the state constitution it la exceedingly difficult to secure any change. Tax commissions have repeatedly been appointed by authority of the legislatures and these commissions have unanimously condemned the gen eral property tax which was adopted by the last constitutional convention and as the law Is constitutional it has been Impossible for the legislature alone to repeal It However, the last general assembly undertook to amend the constitution as provided by law and this amend ment will have to be ratified by the people at the November election and if It fails to carry it cannot be voted on again for another five years. The effect of the present law is to drive people and money from the state and to prevent other people and money from coming In and building up our industries. This is how the general property tax is regarded by outsiders as indi cated in a report of a commission ap pointed in another state and it ap plies in all respects to our present tax system. "The personal property tax is a farce. It falls Inevitably upon the comparatively few who are caught. The burden It Imposes upon produc tion is out of all proportion to the revenue it produces. "Year after year state and local as sessing boards have denounced it as impracticable, in its workings and un just in Its results. These recom mendations have for the most part passed unheeded or have led to in effectual attempts to bolster up the law. It is time the situation was faced squarely, and the tax in its present form abolished. "So far as the personal property tax attempts to reach Intangible forms of wealth, its administration is so comical as to have become a byword. "Such a method of collecting revenue would be a serious menace to democratic Institutions were it not so generally recognized as a howling farce. "But it is not a farce to those who are fully assessed. These are chiefly the widows and orphans who are caught when their property is listed ni the probate court farmers, retail merchants and others, incorporated or unincorporated, with stocks of goods, and the small investors who are not skillful enough to make non-taxable investments." The state referred to has changed its tax system and already the receipt; from taxation have Increased enor uously and the peculiar effect of it has been to lower the taxes on land und improvements by securing a great er revenue from personal property hich had formerly produced little or no returns. Kentucky must Increase Its revenues to keep up its schools and public in stitutions and it would be manifestly unfair to make the property at present paying taxes sustain this added bur den, but under the present law there is no other recourse. If the amendment carries and the legislature is empowered to. classify property so as to bring under the as sessor's scrutiny the vast amount of personal property now escaping taxa tion the revenues can be increased and taxes on lands and bouses dimin ished and what is more Important than all we will be able to develop our re sources, maintain our population and attract capital and people who will help to build up the state. - Ohio has recently changed its tax laws and has already been benefited and Tennessee is about to renounce the general property tax. Other states have either long since abolished it or are preparing to do so. The present system in Kentucky was popular when the country was young and wealth largely confined to real estate which could not be hidden. Wealth is now largely in persona) securities which the assessor can not locate and In consequence this class of property escapes almost entirely. Can we afford to neglect this great question and yet hope to compete with neighboring states which are less fa vored than ours naturally but have the advantage of cheap money and low taxes? If the amendment falls to carry the next census will show that Kentucky has moved down another peg or so in its standing among the states and those at present paying taxes will in evitably have to pay more on the same property while others will es cape by hiding their personal property from the assessors.

Under dale of October 21, Mr. T. R. Walton, writing from Atlanta, says : "We had snow yesterday and frost this morning. Can you beat it?" Well, not so as you can notice it. Atlanta seems to be getting as bad in climate as this. It wasn't always thus, according to an old residenter, who told us on our first visit to the Chicago of the South 20 or more years ago, that snow was so unusual there that when the great Patli was singing there one night it got noised around in the theatre that it was snow ing, when almost with one accord the audience rushed out to see it. Since then we have read of many snows there, and the citizens are almost as much used to them as we are. Hair Doesn't Die-It Has To Be Killed.

There are Greek schools, societies, militia companies. The Greek Church needs an American bishop.

There are 16 new churches in the Greek architectual form, of which one in Lowell cost $80,000, or tlO for each Greek in the town; 12 churches bought from other bodies, of which the one in New York cost $05,000, and ser vices in hired halls.

I just hate heirlooms!" she frowned with disfavor on the exhibition and turned away. "I've been brought up among heir looms since I can remember, and I loathe and despise them!" she said, shuddering. "When I was a baby they began. My best dress all through my baby hood was the dress my mother and grandmother had been baptized in. Of course. If they'd been noble blood ed, or something, so the dress could have been delicate lace, or something, I could have stood it but I know my Infant flesh protested against wearing for best a yellow old unstylish piece of heavy muslin that looked like a bath robe! "But it was an heirloom, and in every picture I have of my babyhood I'm inclosed in that thing! I'm ashamed to show my baby pictures for people will think I'm three times my natural age, from the style of my dress! "Then I had a lot of great aunts, with garrets, and when they saw that picture of the dress of ancient vintage nothing would do but they should turn over their rubbish and send me boxes of things almost perishing with age! Of course, mother had to fix them up, and she usually just did as little as possible, so I could wear them a little while and then throw them away. She felt that as much as that was needful, to keep in with the relatives. But there I went around, in my girl hood, with hoopskirts minus the hoops, and with moth-eaten sleeves, skin tight when all the girls were wearing big puffs. And to appease me mother always told me that I should be proud to have heirlooms! . "I tell you, If you want to look at heirlooms, look at me! Here I stand, a perfect museum! . Look at this skirt r "I Just Hate Heirlooms.' It was handed down from Mrs. Noah or very nearly! Aunt Jane wrote that she bad a good tailored skirt she didn't mention that the tailor died in his dotage long since and wouldn't I like It? It was hardly used a bit she said, and she did hope that I'd appreciate It. She had kept it for years, expecting to make some use of it, but It was always too good to cut up. "So I accepted it as gracefully as I could, for Aunt Jane bears grudges forever if she gets them. Now she writes every week to ask how it's wearing and she's coming down this summer, so I've got to give It a little use or shell suspect something. She's dreadfully observing! "And see this trimming on my col lar! Well, my Great Uncle John found that In Venice once upon a time, I sus pect In some former Incarnation! The gold is all tarnished, and the colors are so blended with age that it looks like a piece of leather. But you ask grandmother about it! She can see it gleaming In its pristine splendor, and she beams on me whenever I come near In this suit! As she lives with us, I have to wear it on every occa sion. I can leave it at home when I go to the store, on the plea of pre serving it but if I'm dressed up grandmother is right there to see that this collar Is in Its proper place. "Why, they've grown so used to see ing me in heirlooms that my younger aunts send on their old shoes! And mother, being economical and desir ing to be grateful for all favors, writes back to say how delighted I am and then we get more! And each aunt brags to the others how generous she is, and their generosity grows! "Our house Is so full of heirlooms all moth-eaten and rickety that we haven't room for a decent chair, and our pictures are all enlarged photo graphs! But they're heirlooms ask the people who gave them to us and see If they're not! "Now mother's growing stout to she's bestowing all her outgrown things on me! "Actually. I think when I take things off 111 just burn them up to save some one else the agony of possession! "Don't show me any heirlooms. I'd rather go to here and see the way gold and silver Is made into money, to boy new things to wear!" Chicago Daily News. Plenty of Books. "Compulsory education is a great thing." exclaimed the little man. "Yes," replied the big man. "but I notice that people continue to call np Avon 184 and ask for Mr. Wolf and Mr. Campbell."
