Pure FOOD JOKER
SAYS PEOPLES LOBBY
Is the Attempted Restriction
Placed on Enforcement of
Pure Food Law.

The pure food Bill was passed by
Congress last session after memoir
able fight. If enforced properly it
will prove of great benefit to every
individual. But at this time the
friends of this most necessary re-
form are called on to meet a deter
mined flank attacked.
Representative Tawney, of Mime
sofa, succeeded in having the follow
ing restriction attached to the appro-
priation made for enforcement of
the law:
Provided, That no part of this
sum shall be used for the payment
of expenses of any officer or other
person employed by any State, coun-
ty or Municipal government"
Now if this provision be enacted
into law, it will prohibit the Secre-
tary of Agriculture from employing
any one of the vast number of train
ed scientists that have been devel-
oped in the different State pure
food departments, and in Municipal
health offices. 1t would take years
of time and millions of money to de-
velop and entirely new organization
equal in efficiency to this body of
men ready at hand.
1t is to be hoped the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture and Forestry
will cut out the Joker"
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1907-02-15

the smallest minimum, though too
much politics in State offices has no
doubt been a strong temptation to
the taxpayer to cover his property
IN order to escape contributing
to fund to be used for graft and
salaries for needless officers. We
have too much government. Tdres
are too high. In this we need to re-
turn, somewhat, to the simplicity OF
olden times. Our forefathers never
dreamed Of such thousand-headed
monster in government, which could
seek to regulate all the details OF
our daily walk in life.
But, we started out to call alter
ton to feature of the assessment
list for Ohio county, which will be
found in another column. The
item of money seems to have escaped
almost entirely. In the eleven banks
in Ohio county there is on deposit
the sum of $3.50, 645.85, and yet
those who own this cash listed only
S175,118 Of course the amount in
bank does not represent all the
cash in Ohio county, and yet. 1t
shows more than the town lots and
almost half as much as the lands.
Yet only about twenty per cent. OF
this large amount is listed to bear
its just proportion of taxation. Is
it any wonder that County Boards
and State Boards of Equalization
find it necessary to raise values? The
serious part of it is, that when they
do so, they still do not reach this
cash item. The trouble is with the
individual who furnishes his list.
Some way should be found to cor
rect this fearful inequality. The
man who owns a little home and
who is the flower of our citizenship,
cannot escape if he would. If all
wealth could be reached, the rate,
which is almost beyond endurance,
could be lowered materially.

THE Larue county Herald, one Of
the best country weeklies that comes
to our office. makes the following
appeal to its subscribers. 1t says:
When you are buying goods, look
over the columns of the Herald and
examine the advertisements of our
advertisers. Give them an Opportu-
nifty to sell you your goods, and, ev-
erything else being equal; when you
can possibly do so, trade with the
business men who patronize The
Herald's columns. We will esteem
it as a great kindness, and it will be
a valuable favor to us. and you will
find yourselves benefited thereby
They are the Invest; closest-priced
business men of the county invaria-
bly,, and you can save money by
looking into their inducements offer
ed in their advertisements"
In view of the fact that everything
that constitutes the makeup of a
newspaper has advanced materially
in price this is not an unreasonable
request. In fact, aside from that
feature, it is in keeping with the
very best business principals to look
we'll to the interest of our advertis-
ing patrons. The REPUBLICAN has
always felt keen interest in the
success of its advertisers and like
our brother of Larue county we be-
lieve the business men who use our
columns as advertising medium are
Invest, closest-priced business men of
Ohio county, and our readers we be-
lieve will save money as well as help
US by trading with them.

INEQUALITIES IN TAXATION.

Many times in the past, efforts
have been made to discover a plan
for assessments which will bring
about more equal distribution of
the burdens of taxation. Since gov
eminent is necessary for the protec-
ton of our citizenship, and to secure
US in our property rights, taxation
is also necessary. Government
must be maintained at large cost
no matter if it does fall into I'M
worthy hands, which render its ben
efits and protection unequal and of
seeming slight value. The fact that
the true benefits which should come
to the individual citizen, from a
just and economically administered
government, have been reduced to

HIGHEST PAID
MAN IN WORLD
NEW YORK MINING ENGINEER
WHO RECEIVES SsOo,OOO
A YEAR.

John Hays Hammond, the mining
engineer of New York, receives a
salary aggregating 100000 a year,
which is more money than any other
man ever received for his personal
services. Men make millions on in
vestments or by manipulations os
speculation, but Hammond is the only
man in the world who is paid SO
nearly a million year for profession

Hammond is the greatest soldier
of fortune of modern times-perhaps
OF all times--and was the model
from which Richard Harding Davis

California he heard and dreamed of
nothing but gold, for the Western
Coast was gold mad during this peri
cd.
In his quest for the precious metal
Hammond has travelled all over the
world, from Siberia to South Africa.
He followed the course OF prospecting
in Australia during the boom days.
and he was in the Transvaal at the
time of the Jameson raid. With
Phillips, Frank Rhodes and George
Farrer, he was captured by the Beers
and sentenced TO death, to the great
excitement of the whole civilized
world. Dom Paul" Kruger. under
threats from Joseph Chamberlain re-
leased the four men upon payment
of an enormous fine and sentence to
punishment.
Hammond came to New York and
opened an office as a consulting en-
gineer. He may be found now in a
little room in the Empire building.
and so great Is his knowledge OF
sold-bearins ore from ali the great

able to pass unerring judgment upon
mines without visiting them.
