To Sample Copy Readers.

This issue of the KENTucKIAN will
be sent to large number of persons
who are not subscribers, but ought
to be. All such are invited to be-
come patrons Of the paper. This par
ticular issue is much crowded with
advertisements, by reason of the
large thanksgiving ads of w. T.
Cooper q Co., The Racket Store and
an influx of two or three columns Of
new annual ads. This makes an
apology necessary for the scarcity of
reading matter, but the boom in adj
vertising shows that the business men
look upon the KRNTUCKIAN as the hest
medium for reaching the public. The
kENTUcKIAN for next year will be
better than ever, Two dollars year.

private sanitarium near Sing Sing,

Fink was for many years commissioner

He was born at Lauterbach, Germany,
October 81, 1897, and came to this coun.
try when "a young man. He settled at
Baltimore, and entered the service Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad as AN engi-
neer. Within three years he became as
sistant engineer, and shortly afterward
consulting engineered the Norfolk and
Western. Then he went to Louisville and
held several offices With the Louisville
and Nashville, beginning as engineer and
finally becoming vice-president. His first
experience as commissioner was with the
Southern ship Association,
which, in accordance with Mr.. Fink's
ideas, adopted the pooling system. The
success OF this scheme attracted attention

was called to take charge of the latter In
1877, retirin0 in 1889.
Mr.. Fink was famous as an arbitrator,

resignation was accepted with much re.

Total. .S3, 300, 900
In order to turn into the public treas
ury the net sum of 81, 100000 from
real estate the holders of such property
are compelled 10 part with property to
the value of something like two millions
of dollars annually. Real estate being
the foundation stone of all things
earthly, the source of all wealth, the
first gift of God in which every man
owns n share, whether he holds some
fellow mans title to it or not should
never be taxed when it is possible to
maintain government without such
TAXATION. In these days when the men
who toll get little and those who scheme
get the plums of earth, we should neg
lect no opportunity to shift the burden
of government to the shoulders of those
who are able to foot the bills, and
whose profits come largely from those
who till the soil-whose existence was
given birth to by the State and whose
property and rights the State is under
solemn obligation to protect.
This method of taxation would raise
the ire of the corporations, but when
they are made to realize that the million.
of money left with the people means
more business for them, and tina. after a
short period their profits will be more
certain than now, 'they will accept the
situation and the Old Dominion would
enter on an era CT genuine prosperity.
Such method OF taxation would stimu.
late flow of immigration and capital
would create demand for real estate
and enhance it's value, and would renew
the energies of the agricuturist, the
fruits of whose labors bring blessings to
al of us.
