TILE QUESTION OF TAXES.


There is no doubt but that the
question of taxation is one that is
arousing more and more interest dali
1v all over the state, and some OF the
brightest minds in Kentucky are
threshing out the subject with hope
of devising plans which will make
taxation more equitable, less burden
some to the few and more beneficial
to the many.
Kentucky has lost number OF BIS
Industries In recent years because OF
the excessive taxes and no doubt has
failed to get many desirable institu-
lions and concerns fon the same rea-
son. With a view to deciding on
some sat.sfactory-or more satisfac-
tory plan of taxation-the state COM
mission of revenue and taxation is
meeting today at Winchester, and
eminent men from all over the state
have been invited to be present and
give their views on the subject, show
ing the desire of those concerned to
act for the greatest good to the great
est number.
The Lexington Herald suggests
some changes, among them being a
number which would affect Paducah,
also a second-class city. Says the
Herald:
1.-THE more We ourselves have
thought on the question of taxation.
the more firmly we have become con.
vincsd that personal property and
particularly all forms of indebted
ness, should be exempt from taxa
ton for any purpose, and most GER
tainly for city purposes. For Lex
ington's interest the most important
thing that can be done by the legisla-
ure is to pass an act, in accordance
with the constitutional amendment
adopted two years ago, authorizing
and empowering cities of the second
class to make their own. tax laws. II
this were done Lexington and the
other cities of the second-class could
then determine their own fate and
fix their own system of taxation. We
have no doubt that for Lexington's
sake II would be better If she We're
permitted to exempt personal proper
~ from taxation and other cities and
towns retain their present cumber-
some unjust and faulty system. But
for the state OF Kentucky we would
be glad 70 see the whole system of
taxation revised and all taxation for
state, county and city purpose put on
real estate and franchise, exempting
all forms of personal property from
taxation.
THE taxation OF personal proper.

which nearly all countries except the
United States have outgrown. 1t
