STATE BOARD
EQUALIZATION
Files a Report of Its Recent
Work.
A clrIIATInM &c nEccRIRE1
A SITUATION IS DESCRIBED
Which the Board Says Han
dicaps Its Work at
Every Step.
GOOD ASSESSORS VERY RARE

Frankfort, KY, June 3.-In a
facetious report filed with the Gov
ernor, the Board of Equalization for
the State discusses the reasons why
property is not assessed higher. The
report in part is as fellows:
''In this, as in former years,
there was no occasion for reducing
any county's returned assessment.
Not one of them was assessed at a
measure of its face value. Forty
seven counties we're not changed
not for the reason that the board
considered them properly assessed,
but because, IL they were increased,
the counties that had a per cent.
added would need to have been
raised correspondingly higher.
1.-The law governing the board has
not been changed in any particular
during your administration. The
Legislature has not seen fit to
make an addition or change which
would enable the board to more
probably arrive at an accurate con-
clusion in its endeavor to equalize
values among the counties.
1.-THE transfer sheets upon which
we are to primarily base our de-
cision as they are at present return
ed, are in most cases almost worth
less, some for the reason that the
purchase price is purposely hidden
under 81 and other considerations,
many have no value fixed by the
county supervisors, some have no
value fixed by the assessor; much
lis listed with other property; In
numbers of instances the acreage Is
not given; in nearly all some one
term is withheld, which makes q
comparison between the sale value,
assessed value and supervisors val
ne, impossible. In many cases 1t is
a result of ignorance, carelessness
or slovenliness; in others, shrewd-
ness and duplicity-done purposely
to mislead. When witnesses are
sent, they oftener serve to confuse
than otherwise.
There are a few good assessors
In the State. We say a few for the
lack of a general term that express
es a lesser number. The impression
seems to be gaining ground
Throughout the State that we have
" single tax system, and that per-
soral property is exempt from taN-
aticn, and inasmuch as real estate
Is compelled to bear the burden, 1t
Is the privilege Of the owner and
the duty of the officials to connive
to list all property at very low fig
ure. In the matter OF personal
property, no witness testified that
the assessor claimed to have assess
ed it fully, or that the owners had
Intended to give it in at It's worth.
In substance they contend that 1t
is not given in anywhere and ex-
cuse themselves on the ground that
It is a matter of perjury or poverty,
and exercise their right of choice. "

JURY HUNG IN TRIAL OF
MRS. LOUTILDA LYNCH

A hung jury resulted in the trial
of Mrs. Loutilda Lynch, charged
with the murder of her son-in-law,
Ambie Buck. in Circuit Court at
Owensboro Friday. Eleven of the
jurors stood for life imprisonment
in the penitentiary and one held out
for a sentence for manslaughter. 1t
was proven by the Commonwealth
that the woman. accompanied by
her husband. called her son-in-law
from the side of his wife at night,
and as he appeared at the door,
shot him to death. The defense
claimed that the woman was sub
ject to spells of insanity.

WOMAN IN POLITICS,

At the last session of the Wisconsin
Legislature law was passed that will
allow women the franchise in all elec-
tiOns except that for President of the
United States. This will be submitted
to the voters OF the state by the
referendum in the election of Novem-
ber, 1912. Women are now allowed
to vote in number of Western states
and their votes were decisive in a
number of recent elections. In every
case have they been cast for the prin-
ciple of better government.
Hunnewell, Kas., former Cow
town" near the Texas border, elected
woman mayor. A woman candidate
for police judge in the same campaign
was defeated by only four votes. They
bought this election on the platform
OF better government-enforce of
all laws and the stamping out of boot
Logging" The woman mayor says
these reforms will be put into effect
if the office of mayor provides the
power TO do so.
In Springfield, ILL.,, the woman, who
voted for the first time, cast the de-
Gliding votes, and the result was shown
in the election of the good government
In the elections in the Pa
cific Coast cities. the woman voters
cast the ballots that elected the can
didates and on the same principle in
volved in the other cities.
1t can easily be seen that woman is
going to be a political factor, at least
in local affairs. Always has she been
the influence that promped her hus-
band to vote for better things-for
purer surroundings of the home. But
now that she has been granted the bal
lot, she is getting these things for her
self, and whatever the result! of
greater franchise might be, at least the
have shown they can make bet
ar places for themselves and their
children TO live in.

There is more or less danger in any
