Stock Law.
Barnett, H.. April 2sth. 1909.

Barnett, Ill.,. April 2Sth. 1909
Mr.. 6. NJ. Jenkin, Marion, Ky.
Dear Sire:-I see in the RECORD
PRESS the people, of Kentucky. are
talking of voting for the stock law, If
they do, they will make big mis- stake.
We have the stock law out here and
know what it is and it is not as bad on
the people here as it is out there, for
there is not as much land out side here
a. there is in Kentucky. 1t will be
bad on the renter and the man with a
small farm and the man that drives
stock, for the farmers will take the out
side fence and make pasture fence and
hog pens. and what will the stock do
for water? I see hogs in pens out
here and they have to feed them the
year round and stake the cows out
along the road.
They have quite good deal Of hedge
and woven wire fences out here but
some Of the farmers makes a turning
row out Of the road-have corn and
wheat right at the edge of the road
and that makes it bad for any one
driving stock.
thought I would tell my friends in
Kentucky not to vote trouble on them
selves for I know it would be a disad-
vantage for was raised there and
know they could not afford to keep
hogs up and feed them and pastures are
not very good and water gets scarce in
summer.
know we get mad when stock
breaks in, but ours might break out and
then we would have to pay to get them
out of the pound pen.
Yours Respectfully,
GEORGIA JACKSON.

Chinese Taxes.

inces to supply revenue, and arbi-
trarily names each year the sum
which each province must supply.
leaving to the officers of that province
the methods by which this Is OBJ
tanned. The consequence is that each
province is permitted to collect a tax
on goods entering 1t from adjacent
provinces and this custom has been
extended to the subdivision Of the
provinces. so that goods in transit are
frequently compelled to pay taxes
every few miles. AS a consequence.
