Mayor COOmbs. of Lexington,
is Moving Spirit.
Suggests Meeting Of Executives OF
Second Class Cities Some
Time In July.
MAYOR YEIsER OPPOSES IDEA

"Feelers" are being sent out to
the mayors of Covington. Newport
and Paducah by Mayor Coombs, of
Lexington, to ascertain how they
stand on the proposition of adopting
the license tax system for merchants.
manufacturers and banks, and May
or Yeiser this morning received
communication from him suggesting
a meeting of the mayors of second
class cities early In July. The CON-
munication was accompanied with a
letter from w. A. Robinson, of the
Louisville, the well known tax expert
who advised such action.
Mr.. Robinson explained the situa-
ton in Lc isville, where an attempt
was made to inaugurate the system.
The tax was declared unconstitu-
tional there on account of tho grada-
tions being considered inequitable
by the court of appeals. The Com
mercial club of Louisville and many
prominent citizens favor the license
system and IL will be given another
trial as soon as an ordinance can be
drawn up avoiding the constitutional
defects of the last. ar. Robinson de-
sires the second class cities to adopt
a uniform system, so that 1t can be
put to the test and thus constltu-
tional system, that will apply to first
and second class cities, evolved.
Mayor Yelser is unalterably OPP
posed to the license tax system. but
he will submit the communication to
the general council and act in ac-
cordance with its directions.
w. A. Robinson addressed the cit
liens in the Kentucky theater hero
and a vote was taken fayorlng the Ii
eense tax. BY this system the mer-
chant manufacturer or banking in
stitution is taxed according to the
amount of business done annually.
Access is had to the books and the as
sessment made according TO tho rate
Mayor Yeiser SAID:
Il am unalterably opposed to the
license system. II is a tax on mans
industry and application. The tax
should be on the amount invested.
The business a man does is intangi-
BILE and should be encouraged rather
than penalized by a tax. For in
stance have $4,000 invested and
do business of $4,000. You have
only $4,000 invested and by your
energy and superior ability and In
dustry do business of 100000.
You should not be taxed more than
me. Your profits will be invested
somewhere and taxed there.
THAT is my view but shall sub
NIT this communication to the gem
eral council"
