MR.. RAYsoR's BANK TAX BILL.
In addition to these plans of the tax
commission, Senator Raysor offers bill
by which all banks and banking institu-
tions are to be placed under the State
board of equalization and the figures for
taxation are to be fixed by the central
board, instead of by district county
boards.
The next step towards centralizing the
tax authority is to place the assessment
Of railroad property under this general
State board-one member from each
county.
Another means of raising revenue for
the State is to divide the annual license
fee of 24 per cent on insurance premiums
between the county where the premiums
are paid ard the State. This would give
II per cent to the State; II per cent to the
county, and nothing to the cities or towns
on insurance premiums collected.
TEE NEW CIRCUITS BILL.
All along it has been stated that the
passage Of the new circuit bill depended
on the unity of the lawyers in the house.
The pending bills could have won by three
or four votes, and in each instance that
many lawyers voted against the measures,
the principle of which-more circuits
they had advocated. There is now no
hope of the establishment of new circuits
at this session. Next year the lawyers
ought first to agree to get a bill through
establishing two new circuits, and in that
particular bill say absolutely nothing
about the geography of the two new cir
cults. After the bill has passed, if the
circuits are needed, then and not until
then let the bills corae in as to how tho
circuits shonld be arranged. If the MEM
bers can curb their ambition in geography
and first create by act the two new cir
cults; then they will have to agree upon
the makeup of the circuits, and the act
creating the circuits will in no wise be
jeopardized by those who cannot be ex-
actly suited in the arrangement OF circuits.
THE sHAD BILL.
In the attention that is being paid to
other matters it has almost been forgotten
that an act is now ready to be ratified
which makes it crime to ship shad out
side of the State. The bill had passed the
house last year, and the best that the op-
ponents of the bill could do was to get an
amendment providing that the law should
not 60 into effect until February 20, 1904.
This will give those engaged in the indus
try good portion of the present season
in which to- make their shipments.
BIENNIAL SESSIONS.
It seems almost beyond realization to
say that the biennial session joint resolu-
tion has gone through the entire legislative
routine. It had rough time, but finally
got through "by the skin Of it's teeth" 1t
required 81 votes to pass the resolution,
and it received exactly that number on the
final ballot.-August Kohn, in News and
Courier.

The People Responsible.

"The papers continue to discuss the
case of Representative Barron. Of sYorfs.
who was arrested and fined inthe CoIu1u
bia police court for being drunk and dr.
orderly in questionable resort. Wehsye
not had great deal to say about Sfhe
matter, principally because We do NOT ~
where any special good is to come ont oe
its discussion. With MI. Barron as a4'
individual, We have nothing to do. AS1ly
when. or where he shall get drunk, 1ndA
to how he may conduct himself otherw
is none ofour business And neither d61
we feel that We have q right to censtz
Mr.. Barron as representative. Som<
how it OCCURS to US that such blame ~
there is, and there is good deal fegfS
upon the people Of York county. N3|
not believe that they would knowfnxt4
and intentionally elect as q repreSAu4&
tive an individual SO careless Of his consl
duct as Mr.. Barron has been; but at fh;
same time we have long been Of opinie
that our people have not been as careful
and discriminating as they should beg3ns
choosing their representatives.. HhiEs
subject Is deserving of much more serioa7
consideration than it has ever received
up to this time, and If the present Instances
shall serve to bring the people OF tbs
county to their senses, there will be ~!
occasion q the future to remember itwitE
regret" sssSss; s:s
The above from the Yorkyille Enquir
er hits the nail on the head. H Yog
county or any other county be disgfacS
in Columbia on account Of the conduct az.
one of its members of the general assem-
bly, the people have themselves alone td
blame. 1t is astonishing that good ne2s
will cast their votes for parties TO repre-
sent them who have made themselYae
notorious for drunkenness and other ipS
moralities. Wejoin our contemporaryinl
the hope that scenes which have been en-
acted in Columbia during the session of
the present legislature will cause ttl9;
people to give this matter very serionSS
consideration, and that. no drunkard VIII
ever again be permitted to represent any
county in the general assembly, nor Ah3

ITCH-RINGWORM.

E. T. Lucas, Wingo, Ky., writes, April
25th, 1902: "For 10 to 10 years had been
afflicted with a malady known as itch.
The itching was unbearable; tried for
years to find relief, trying all remedies I
could hear of, besides numbers of doctors.
One application of Ballard's snow lini-
ment cured me permanently. Since then
I have used the 1iniment on two occasions
for ring worm and it cured completely.
