Secret of Beef Prices.
If the consumer who buys beef ribs
and loins is paying as much as hedid at
this lime last year, the retailer is tak
ing an extra profit of about 25 per cent.,
according to General Manager Howe, of
Armour & Co.
These commodities, he says, are be
ing sold by the packers at 25 per cent,
under last year's prices. Pork is being
sold by the wholesaler to the retailers
at more than ten per cent, reduction.
These lower prices have been in effect
several months, but reports from sever
al cities indicate no reduction to the
consumer.
Comparisons of wholesale prices now
and this time last year show the follow
ing: No. one rib, per pound in '12, 25c;
13, 18c; No. one loin, per pound, last
year, 28c; this year, 20c; pork per pound
in '12, 20c; this year, 17 1 2c.

no an, son of the deceased. The remains

Pardon Asked For Slayer Of
Mullins.
Edward Morrow, of Covington, U. S.
Attorney for the Eastern District of
Kentucky, was in Washington last week
to ask the Attorney General to recom
mend that a pardon be granted Berry
Simpson, of Stearns, who 4s serving a
life sentence In the Federal prison at At
lanta on a pharge of conspiraoy. Simp
son was convicted four years ago in the
Federal eourt in this city, charged with
being instigator of a riot at Stearns, in
whleh Deputy U. 8. Marshal Jno. Mul
lins was killed.
Good Suggestion.
Say! farmers, you who know that corn
is high, and hogs comparatively low, let
us tell you something. If you run out
of meat before hog killing time have
you noticed the exorbitant price you
must pay for bacon at the grocery or
butcher shop? Did you ever know a
time, when country hams, shoulders,
sides or lard, could not be sold to your
local grooer at good prices? If you have
a farm and hogs you certainly have a
good smoke house. Why don't you cure
more meat? If you have more than you
can use, you can sell it readily, at any
time, at prices that will pay you far bet
ter than to sell live porkers to the pack-
era. Isn't this true? Shelbyville Record

The Suggestions of The News
Aprroved.
The Elizabethtown News says:
The News is in receipt of letters and
personal messages from various parts of
Kentucky heartily endorsing its recent
editorial suggesting the way to solve
our tax problems In Kentucky. There
is a most universal agreement as to one
of the suggestions contained in the edl
torial columns of the News, to wit: Pro
viding for a State commission, with en
tire oootrol over the matter of assess
ment. There is also practically a unan
imous opinion, from those who have
written us on the subject, tr at at pres
ent the real and personal property of
the State is not assessed at more than 35
per cent, of its cash value. Less than 5
per cent, of the people are actually giv
ing in their property at its cash value,
while the other 95 percent, are giving
it in from 75 per cent. down, to 20 per
cent. This is absolutely unjust and un
equal and the only way to reform it is
to put the whole matter of assessment
in a State Board, with the right to ap
point their local agents and assess all
property at it actual cash value. If this
is done 60 per cent, will be added to the
present valuation and the rate can be
reduced from 50 cents to 25 cents and
still yield to the State a million dollars
more than the present revenue.
The suggestion of the News to exempt
from municipal taxation all intangible
properly has raised in the minds of some
lawyers a question as to its constitution
ality. If it is submitted to the consti
tution it will settle the whole question.
It it is unconstitutional, then the law
might provide that all intangible proper
ty.which includes bonds, stocks, cash in
bank and notes, shall pay 5(1 instead of
35 cents on the hundred dollars in lieu
of other taxes. This would add $3,000,.
000 to the Slate funds and neither hurt
the cities nor the counties, and would be
an absolutely fair and just provision for
this character of property.
