TO AVOID TAXATION

The Henderson Journal is of the
opinion that the Tobacco Trust
puts off the purchase of the Stem

co in order to avoid taxation. In
its Sunday issue the Journal says ;
believing that the city of Hen
derson is losing annually thou

put forth by Mayor w. l. Thomp-

in the county.

The reason is clear why the
farmers have not, for the past ten
years, had Christmas money to
spond with merchants. 1t is be-
cause the buyers refuse to buy the
Stemming District Association
tobacco or any other before Jan.
10
1T is claimed that by holding
of the purchasing of the tobacco
until after that date, the buyers
avoid taxation on the tobacco
crop. The city tax is $l.55 on ev-
cry hundred dollars, and if they
were to buy it before that time the
city would receive revenue
amounting to nearly twenty thou
sand dollars.
THE Stemming District tobacco
was purchased last year on Janu-
uary ), and the contract called for
deliveries to start on Jan. IL, one
a happy Christmas because their
tobacco had not been sold.
"At Owensboro this year that
city loses ST., 700, nearly as much
as Henderson, by the same stunt
OF the tobacco trust.
For ten years or more these
same conditions have prevailed. In
all this time few farmers have had
happy Christmas because their to-
bacco had not been sold.
and the merchants Of Hender-
son are among the sufferers.
Right now, at the height of the
Christmas season, tobacco money
for the farmers would come in
handy.
Before the tobacco trust came
to Henderson there were twenty
two independent tobacco buyers.
And they were not as wise as the
trusts. By an investigation of
the city tax collectors books it is
found that large portion and
sometimes practically all of the
tobacco crop was sold before
Christmas.
"And the city received in that
time takes from the immense
crops brought to the city early.
Those taxes amounted to thou
sands of dollars, and frequently
an Independent tobacco buyer paid
no less than 81 900 taxes to the
city, which is nearly as much as
paid by all the trusts together at
this time.
Mayor Thompson and City At
torney Worsham are making an
effort to remedy the condition.
"The mayor stated that he be-
liaved that the tobacco should not
be taxed ad valorem, but tax fix
ed on the hogshead, which would
be assessed in May and which
would be about equal to the as
sessment on the tobacco crop were
it broght in in time for taxation.
eff this is done there will be no
more trouble about the city run
ming short of funds, and by inves-
tigation it will be found that this
has been the big leak hole and, is
the reason why the city is in no
better financial shape today

CHAPTER VII.
At the STAGE Entranee.

Ruggles, from his stall, for the
fourth time saw the curtain go up
on "Mandalay" and heard the temple
bells ring. One. of the stage boxes
was not occupied until after the first
act and then the son Of his, friend
came in alone and sat far back out OF
sight Of any eyes but the keenest,
and those eyes were Ruggles. Lefty
Lane, delicious, fantastic, languishing,
sang to Dan: that was evident TO Rug
giles. He was large man and filled
his stall comfortably. He sat through
the performance peacefully, his hands
in his pockets, his big face thought
full, his shirt front rufled. To look at
him, one must have wondered why he
had come to "Mandalay." He scarce
ly lost any OF the threads Of his own
reflections, though when Miss Lane in
response to call from the house,
sang her cradle song three times, he
seemed moved. The tones of her nure
voice, the grading in her arms OF an
imaginary child, her. apparent dove

and her cooling, gentle tone, to judge
by the softening OF the Westerner's
face, touched very much the big Eel.

Ruggles was extremely warm.
He could see that in his box the
boy sat transfxed and absorbed. Dan
went out in the second entr'acte and
was absent when the curtain went
down. Ruggles, as well. left before
the performance was over, to make
