Low-Down Politics.

Republicans are agitating the
Democratic Catholics of the State
against the future Democratic
nominees for State officers be-
cause BenJohnson withdrew from
the race for Governor, because,
as he said, his opponents were u.s.
ing his religion as an argument
against his nomination. We do
not believe it. We have con-
versed with Democrats over the
State about the matter and we
have our first one to meet that
said they had known anything a.
bout the Catholic business until
johnson mentioned it in his with
drawal card. The truth of it is,
not one Democrat in fifty would
know what Ben JohnsOn's relig-
ion was nor would they have car
ed. He stood 70 show of win
ming the nomination, to us it
seems, and got mad about it
and thought he could hurt the
man that was going TO beat him
worse by making this statement
than any other means. The edi-
tor of tins paper is not Catho-
lie, but have never yet inquired
into a mans religion when ex-
tending support to a party man
and we do not know of single
Democrat that does.
The Republicans are boosting
this argument to turn Demo.
cratic Catholic votes, but let's
wait and see if they will put up
a man for Governor solely be-
cause he is a Catholic. Such
stuff is all bosh and but little at
tention will be given by the
Democratic Catholics and none
should have been given by prot
estant Democrats. The whole
scheme, we believe, is Matched in
a Republican nest.

Deafness canuot be Cured

by local apple atoms, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that. is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh that cannot be cured

The TINES and
The State Board of Equalization.

The State Board of Egualiza-
ton will soon be at work raising
such poor counties as Powell a.
bout 90 per cent. and this too af-
ter the County Bourd of Super
visors has passed on every midi
vidual tax payer of the county.
At the same time let big Blue
grass counties 90 without cgange.
In Powell when there is a sale of
real estate the consideration is
always given and the purchaser
is required to list it at 80 per
cent. and frequently it is raised
in excess of the purchase price.
With the 20 per cent raise like
what we had last year, the ma
jority of our individual tax pay
ers are paying no more than
what their property is worth.
To our personal knowledge in
some instances in the Bluegrass
Counties land owners are listing
and paying tax on land at $50
per acre which would easily bring
%ioV pea acre, one third its cash
value and these counties being
rich are not raised, and yet they
can easily pay their tax while
half the individual taxpayers of
The poor counties frequently
must sell the last COW or meat
hog to save the sale of their land
for taxes. A very unfair thing
il this imposed upon us from
year to year. We think the coun-
tS should resent the raise to the
extreme. Let some of the Board
come 10 the county and see the
situation as it is and if there is a
speck of justice in them they will
not raise Powell county this
year.
:: The law requires that real es-
tate be listed at 80 per cent. of
its sales value but in the blue
grass they have learned a way to
beat that, they record their
deeds, 81 90 and other consider
shon and in this way dodge their
tax and are let pass by the Board
of Equalization.
The board has an erroneous
idea about our real estate, they
seem to think there has been no
decline but there has. For ex.
ample. The Hoskin place across
the river here sold at one time
for $4,000 and according to the
80 per cent plan was taxed for
$24O0 with 20 per cent added by
the State tax was paid $3.50.
This, place was sold this winter
not for cash but at Commission
er's sale-and brought $500.
