course, wear far better than the

How Editors Get
Quick.
Rich
A great many persons have
wondered bow editors all get
rich so quickly with such small
effort. One of them who has
grown rich has at last told the
secret of it. He outlines it as
follows:
"Nursery firm will send us a
25c rosebud for only 55 worth of
advertising.
"For running a six-inch adver
tisement for year, we can get a
gross of pills.
"About one dozen firms are
wanting to give up shares of
gold mines for advertising.
"For $40 worth of advertising
and $25 cash we can own a bi
cycle. The wheels sell at just
$12.
"A fellow out west wants us
to run a lot of advertising for
him for nothing, and if it brings
results he may become a custo
mer. "For running $12 worth of
locals we can get two tickets ad
mitting us to a circus in the city
and pay our own fare on the
railroad.
"Gun firm wants us to run
$19 worth of advertising and
then send $10 in exchange for a
shotgun. Such a gun would re
tail at about $6."
REPORT OF WISCONSIN
TAX COMMISSION.
"Justice in taxation can only he at
tained by strict compliance with the
law. This is proven by universal ex
perience. There Is no other way. With
rare exceptions, when an assessor vio
lates the law and sets up a standard of
his own he either inflicts an injury
upon some individual taxpayer or else
he does injustice to every other tax
payer in the State. As a general rule,
every step he takes outside the
straight and 'narrow path provided by
law leads to greater and more glaring
Inequalities, and in many cases
degenerates into, a mere travesty on
justice."
FROM REPORT OF KENTUCKY"
TAX COMMISSION, 1909.
"There are two reasons why the
general property tax has failed ini
operation. First, because under mod
ern conditions it cannot be enforced!
effectively. Secondly, because of a
more or less conscious recognition or
the fact that strict enforcement would;
result In a still greater injustice tham
now prevails."
"The attempt to tax all property at"
a uniform standard of valuation andl
at the same rate, regardless of its spe
cial characteristics, earning power on
the benefits derived from the expendi
tures of government, violates the pri
mary rules of just taxation and offends
the natural sense of justice."
DONT FAIL TO VOTE :
FOR
THE TAX AMENDMENT :
CLASSIFIED TAXES.
Whenever there is any talk aboutt
a lower rate of taxes on Intangible
personal property a great howl goes;
up from the owners of tangible prop
erty, who affect to believe it a gross
injustice. Intangible personalty con
sists mostly of Stocks, Bonds, Notes,.
Cash, Accounts, Mortgages, and other
such evidences of enterprise, all of!
which are limited by law or custom to
a certain percent of earnings. No other
kind of property has the limits of Its
profits fixed by Law. A man may law
fully earn all he can in his store, his;
shop or on his farm. He may charges
what he pleases for his professional!
services, for his manufactued wares,,
for his cattle, his hogs and his corn,,
wheat and tobacco, but when he comes
to lending money, which the invest
ment in Securities includes, he Is;
strictly limited to a gross income
never exceeding six per cent, and is
it fair to exact half or more of his
income for taxes when others get off"
wKh perhaps one-tenth of their earn
ings from other kinds of invested
property, farming, professions and'
business? The argument Is aU in
favor of the money lender, as his capi
tal is essential to all industrial im
provement and cheap money greases
the wheels of progress and prosperity,.
TAX AMENDMENT
TO BE VOTED ON AT THE:
NOVEMBER ELECTION.
The Tax Amendment to be again
voted on at the November Election
will, if adopted, authorize the Legis
lature to enact a new Tax Law that
will subject the enormous amount o-V.
personal property in the shape of"
Stocks, Bonds, Notes and accounts
now escaping taxation to a fair share
of the burden and reduce the taxes
on Land and Improve--n:ts. Every
taxpayer should vote for it. as any
Law enacted under i provisions
must be ratified by the people before-
it can be enforced and this guaran
tees a fair Law.
The Amendment.
"The General Assembly shall pro
vide by law an annual tax, which, with'
other resources, shall be sufficient to
defray the estimated expenses of the
Commonwealth for each fiscal" year.
Taxes shall be levied and collected'
for public purposes only and shall be
uniform upon all property of the same
class subject to taxation within the
territorial limits of the authority levy
ing the tax; and all taxes shall he
levied and collected by general laws.
"The General Assembly shall have
power to divide property into classes
and to determine what class or classes
of property shall be subject to local
taxation. Bonds of the State and of.'
Counties, municipalities, taxing- and1
school districts shall not be subject to
taxation.
"Any law passed or enacted by the
General Assembly pursuant to the pro
visions of or under this amendment
or amended section of the constitu
tion, classifying property and provid
ing a lower rate of taxation on per
sonal property, tangible or intangible,,
than that upon real estate, shall be
subject to the referendum power or
the people."
This amendment was ratified by an:
enormous majority at the election ini
1912, but was pronounced invalid by
the Court of Appeals because it hadT
been advertised only sixty, instead ofT
ninety, days as the Constitution pro
vides. It has been advertised in legal forma"
and In time for this year's election
and should receive a larger majority
than before, as Tax paying voters have
had time to study the question -andl
discover the faults in the present Tax;
Law.
