KENTUCKY WANTS TAX REFORM.

Undoubtedly a vital need Of Ken
lucky is a more scientific system Of
taxation. 1t is to our interest to pro-
mote every form Of legitimate indus
try, not to repel it, and, in raising the
necessary revenue, to levy the taxes
by a system which shall be both ef-
fective and equitable. No one can
claim such merits for our existing an
tiquated system, which is generally
acknowledged to be serious handi-
cap on our development as we'll as q
clumsy and unfair method of gather
ing revenue.
The least the general assembly can
do is to authorize a vote on a consti-
tutional amendment making it possi-
BILE to change the system as may be
deemed best Experience has demon
strated the inadequacy and injustice
of our system and the superiority of
other systems, and in moving for i'm
provement We are not moving in the
dark. What we ought to have, and
what we demand, Is freedom to move
If we choose, instead of being bound

TAX EXEMPTION WITHOUT LAW.

Sometimes changes may be effected
through practical arrangements when
not provided for by law. We have an
illustration of that In my state in re-
gard to the assessment of farm pro-
ducts. The date of assessment has
been changed in our state from the
first of September to the first Of June.
For a number Of years the assessment
date was the first of September; then
a number Of years ago it was changed
back to the first of August and a few
years since it was placed on the first
of June. Now. you can see the ad-
vantage of this date to the farmer
On the first of June. under our law,
the lists are supposed to be made up.
Every citizen returns his property as
of the first of June. The practice and
working of that law is to exempt farm
products from taxation. On the first of
June the farmer has no crops har.
vested and he simply is taxed on his
land When the next June comes
around, his crops have all been dis
posed Of, so he pays no taxes on farm
products. The operation of the law,
as you will see. is peculiar. because on
the first Of June the lists are made up
not for the tax bills of this year, but
for next year. Thus our assessments
ii Missouri are now being made up as
of the first of June. OF course, the
farmers returns nothing but his land
and his live stock. No crops are in
existence. The tax bills are made up
this winter and are payable next sum-
mer, and thus the result so desired by
many persons is practically secured
without any exemption under the law.
1t illustrates how results may some.
times be accomplished outside Of the
law by mere adjustment or arrange
ment of the assessment machinery

During the last few years the rates
Of public service corporations have de-
creased materially in spite Of the in
creased cost of labor and materials.
This result is due directly to increased
business and Improvements in the va
riOus arts involved. but indirectly to
the business and technical ability Of
the men In control. On the other hand,
scarcely q week passes that does not
bring the news Of an increase in rates
Of some municipal plant. the two latest
recorded being the municipal water
works of Fort Scott and Girard. Kan.
This may be due to bad management
or to the original adoption of too low a
rate.
Usually when cities take over their
utilities the necessary authority from
the voters is secured by a promise Of
rate reduction, and that promise is
kept without regard to the ability of
the business to stand It, The result
Is poor service, plant deterioration or
increase of taxes. Frequently all Of
these results follow, with an ultimate
return to the rates charged by the cor
poratiOn that was put out of business

JUGGLING OF BANK DEPOSITS
AT TAX TIME CAUSES VERY
SERIOUS LOSS.


I'VE find the investment Of money
at tax time in non-taxable bonds to
be our most serious loss. Money
withdrawn from the deposit account,
loaned on mortgage or otherwise, or
even invested in government bonds,
is sooner or later returned for deposit.
THE tax rate in our village is About
per cent; 6 per cent is the rate for
good loans. Under these conditions
good per cent nOn-taxable bohd at
about Par is an attractive investment.
I'VE find that when our customers
buy these long time bonds that they
very seldom offer them for sale. They
prefer real estate mortgages to bonds,
and if the tax rate could be reduced to
one-half of one per cent, would loan
their money on mortgage and it (the
money! would be kept in the com.
munity.
"Our people here have not invested
in municipal bonds to any great ex.
tent as yet. for the, reason that there
have been no local issues until re-
Gently. About 100000 was invested
in local issue of bonds in the last
months, and they were purchased
by people who would not lie about
reporting their money to the asses
sor, and who did not like to put their
money in the bank and get 4 per cent
interest and then have to pay 3 per
cent on the same for taxes, thus de-
riving only l per cent from their in
vestment Consequently they pur-
chased 4 per cent tax-exempt bonds
The people who have learned to lie
to the assessor THAT includes nine
tenths of them) prefer to leave their
money In the bank and draw the same
rate Of interest and they can then
use it at any time.
I'VE believe large majority of the
people desire to pay their just pro-
portion of the tax and would welcome
a law that would place all values on
more equal basis"
