The county canvass is moving
along without much apparent inter
est. Several days ago the Democratic
and Republican candidates entered
into an agreement to make no more
speeches of any kind and a bush
whacking, still'hunt policy was
adopted by both sides. Saturday
some of the Democratic candidates
came in from the brush and said that
they had obtained the information
that some of the Republicans had not
been living up to the agreement not
to make speeches. This charge af-
forded the only enlivening feature of
the weeks campaign. Only two
more weeks remain and the quetest
canvass ever known in the county is
drawing to a close.

VOTE AGAINST 1T.

1t is not generally known that
constitutional amendment is not t
be voted upon two weeks hence. i
reads:
"The general assembly may by
general laws provide for taxation bJ
municipalities Of property other thar
lands and Improvements thereon
based on income, licenses or fran
chises which may be either in add
ton to or in lieu of ad valorem taxes
thereon"
The danger is in providing fo'
other forms of taxation ''in lieu OF ad
valorem taxes" Should this amend
ment be adopted it will destroy the
uniformity and equality Of taxation
now existing. 1t is only intended to
foster class legislation in the interest
of wealthy corporations,
The Republicans in their last State
convention declared in favor of this
amendment, but as they have advo'
Gated almost every other form of class
legislation, they are consistent in fav-
oring this amendment.
There is no good reason why one
class of taxable property should pay
lower rate Of taxes than any other
class in the same city. Since the
adoption OF the present constitution,
which has few good provisions in it,
certain interests favored under the old
one, have been trying to avoid
its provisions, first by legislative en-
actment of City Charters in violation
of constitutional provisions, and later
by judicial decisions, but having
failed in these attempts it is now pro-
posed to seek through constitutional
amendment to obtain these special
The real purpose of the proposed
as we see it, is to enable
certain wealthy corporations to Sc
cure lower rate of taxation than is
paid by their less fortunate and less
influential neighbors. We still hold
to the old and fundamental Demo
cratic doctrine of equal and exact
justice. to all and exclusive privileges
to none, and are, therefore, unalter.
ably opposed to the adoption of the
proposed constitutional amendment,
and call upon all voters who believe
in equality of tax burdens to vote
against this vicious proposition The
constitution as it is is bad enough
and the more it is tempered with the
worse it will be for the peorle.

Judges Cook and Breathitt finished
their joint canvass of Lyon county
Saturday, speaking to big crowd
at Kuttawa Judge Cook found
nothing but encouragement in thai
county. The Democrats are thor
oughly aroused and promise to dc
their full duty. Lyon may be count
ed on to give from 200 to 20 ma
j)rity for Cook. This week both can
didates go iuto Galloway aud will
close the joint discussions ia that
county. To the well-in formed, there
there seems 10 be no doubt of the
election of Judge Cook. He ha:
more than met the expectations Of
his friends in the three counties he
has already c9nvassed and no one
doubts his wide popularity in his owl
county. Call way will spread herself
and give majority Of immense pro
portions The Republican vote o.
the county IS about 500 and two year;
ago MI. Ben G. Keys CONTROL d some
275 votes. This year his former allies
are all for Cook, and it is believed
that 900 votes is a very liberal rs
innate for Breathitt. Cooks vote
may be anywhere from l 800 to 1900
accord ing to the fullness of the vote
The Democratic primary election
brought out $500 votes, 300 more
than Bryan received last year. Il is
improbable that the candidacy OF
Mr. Geo. c. Diuguid, on the populist
ticket, for commemorative attorney,
will seriously effect the race in any
part of the district.
The contest now drawing TO a close
has been conducted upon high planes.
The candidates are both gentlemen
and have treated each other with uni
form courtesy throughout, Judge
Breathitt is the best and strongest
man his party could put forward,
but Judge { ook has proven himself
to be equally as strong with his party
The district is Democratic by 1900
votes and Cooks election is assured
