AMENDING THE TAX LAW.

The thinking men of the whole
SKATE seem 10 b. alive TO the demands
of better and more equitable tax
laws. The question was brought up
and discussed recently at the state
development convention, and also a
day or two ago at the meeting of the
Louisville bar association.
Judge James F. Gregory on tina
occasion made some pertinent and in
teIesiing observations on the tax
laws of Kentucky, and said among
other things, and said It about as
well as IL could be said, as tbus re-
ported in the Louisville Herald:
THAT the statutes OF personal
property taxation were arbitrary, in
consistent and unjust, as they, in
practical effect, worked double taxa
lion in many instances. Recent rub
ings, ppopsr under the law, but Mus
tratiye of its improper effects, We're
taken mp and discussed. One in
stance cited was that of the holder
OF stock in Kentucky corporation.

property upon which 1t Is based, II
also fully taxed. and so the same
property In reality hears q double

Clyde Could Not Get Up a Crew
Last Night.
Officers Cross and Terrell CorraIed

Choice OF Working or Going

THEY SOON HAD A CREW

Officers Cross and Terrell, OF the
Broadway beat, were busy from early
this morning until uhe clyde pulled
out from the wharf about I O'Clock
securing a crew for the craft While
il is not the duty of the police TO
crew a steamboat, the officers gladly
assisted.
The negroes refused to go out as

heard or the matter and seeing AN
excellent chance to rid the city of
many idlers about the ,evee and

They Informed the loafers that
positions with good pay as deck
hands awaited them on tbs boat. and
that they could take their choice TO
90 out on the boat or go to the city
hall for vagrancy. This had the de-
sired effect. and a crew of fifteen
negroes was secured in a few hours.
The police will hereafter in such
cases make quick work of the

about the saloons and restaurants.
If they refuse TO go TO work when il

Exempt from taxation by the Consti-
tuition" was taken up and the injus-
tice OF its application was pointed
out Judge Gregory remarked that
This law seemed to proceed on the as
sumption that all taxpayers are gull
ty and that none should be allowed
to escape, and declared that It is
shockingly unjust and inconsistent
IL literally enforced.
The injustice OF law subjecting
property held in another state by
citizens of this state, though that
property derives all it's projections
from the laws of the other state, was
spoken of in the address.
One effect of the law, said the
speaker, was to place a restraint on
cordial relations in business between
ths various states of a sisterhood, or
to exile the taxpayer. from his native
state.
Another Objectionable feature al
luded to was the effect of the law
which does not allow a taxpayer to
deduct from the total of his property
The amount of his indebtedness.
Judge Gregory said that while II
should be the object OF al just tax
laws to force full payment and to de
feat the efforts of the tax dodger, yet
1t was manifestly unjust that the man
who met this obligation squarely
should have to bear additional bur-
dens to make that up. and that it was
better that the state should bear the
loss than that this result should fo.-
low.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
May No Longer Buy From the Mines,
But viii Have Reduction in
Rates

The Illinois Central road has
agrs ed that no coal be sold directly
10 employees but the usual rebate on
rates will be given employees. This
morning bulletin was posted in the
local shops saying that employees
may secure their coal from dealers
and furnish a report of the amount
bought.
The one-half rate freight charge
Is deducted and the coal dealer re-
bates this amount to employees. This
was effected through the efforts of
the coal dealers who have been at
tempting for several seasons to pre-
v Mt the mine owners from selling
direct TO the consumers. Railroad
employees would form a party, throw
in and buy the coal by the car load
and save great deal In freight rates.
