The annual assessment will soon be
gin in Paducah. II is intended that
every citizen should pay taxes ON eve
ny thing taxable he possesses. 1t is
right and just, and the city needs the
money. Every dollars worth of prop
erty that escapes the assessor makes it
that much harder on those who have
given in a correct list. To go over the
annual assessments of Paducah it is
clear to anyone that a very small part
Of the taxable personal property has
been listed. and some steps should be
taken to list it all. 1t will make the
tax rate lower. or il the tax rate is not
reduced, will give the city a great deal
more money for necessary expenses. I'm
der the new charter property owners are
required to make affidavit to their tax
able possessions, and if the city sees
that the law is enforced, there is every
reason TO believe that the benefit will
be great.

FEUD COUNTIES.

The Henderson Cleaner takes serious
ly the Chicago Tribune's little pleas
antry;
They had twenty inning ball game
at Henderson, Ky, last week, but then
they have feuds in the same neighbor-
hood that started in 1912 and are not
lover yet"
The Cleaners logic seems to be as
befogged and inadequate as its sense
of humor. for il retorts in unmistake-
able asperity:
I'VE would have the Tribune and
other Republican papers of the North
and elsewhere understand that feuds
exist in Kentucky only in the portions
that show Republican majorities.'
The Cleaner has its dates mixed. The
only feud county in Kentucky worthy of
serious consideration, is Breathitt,
Democratic stronghold and the proud
abiding place of Judge Hargis, Sheriff
Callahan, ct al.-Hargis, who has just
been declared the Democratic nominee
for judge of the court of appeals, by
virtue of one of the most disgraceful
steals in the states history.
This Democratic breeding place is the
same county in which troops had to be
kept for several weeks to prevent the
feud factions from exterminating each
other and the rest of the population
a disaster obviated probably only be-
cause the county is Democratic, and the
needed the votes.
Name one Republican county half as
bad as Breathitt, and Wen take of our
hats.
