Senate Bill Number IFS.

l. W. Arneet introduced the fol-
lowing bill, which was read the
first time and ordered to be printed:
An act fixing license tax on the
INNINGS Of coal in this Common
wealth. "Be it enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly Of the Common
wealth of Kentucky, Every person,
firm, association or corporation en-
gagged in the business of mining coal
IN this Commonwealth for sale shall
pay into the treasury Of the COM
mouwealth an annual license tax of
one cent on each ton of coal so min
ed. On or before the tenth day of
January each year, each person, firm
association or corporation engaged
ia the mining of coal shall make and
file with the Auditor of State a
sworn report of the total number of
tons Of coal mined by him Tor them
duriuc the calender year ending
December thirty-6rst last past, and
said sworn report shall name and
designate the mine or mines from
which SAID coal was mined Such
person. firm, association or corpor-
alton shall, at the time of filing
said sworn report, pay to the Au-
iitor Of the State the amount of
said tax. as herein provided, and

quired by the time specified, or who
shall fail or refuse TO pay the license
tax herein provided for at the time
designated shall be guilty OF mis-
demeauor, and upon conviction ia
the Franklin Circuit Court shall be
med Ave hundred dollars for each
lay OF such delinquency, but such
lune shall not abate the said licease
AK or any part thereof and the Au-
itor shall proceed to collect such
axes IN the same manner as is pro-
vlded by law Tor the collection of
other delinquent taxes.

as 1t lies in the ground, il pays no
tax. When it has been turned into
money, this one small tax can lie
paid without hardship, or at any
rate without injustace.
Farmers, business men, and citi-
zens of all avocations bear their bur
dcns Of taxation. Year after year
their taxes are paid on the same
property, regardless of whether
drouhgt, famine, or catastrophe pre-
vent profits.
The capital invested in coal mines
n Kentucky is to agreat extent
owned byresidentsof other States.
They make their money here and
spend it elsewhere. They have es-
capped taxation. Possibly they may
oppose the passage of this measure.
| believe, however, that Keutuckians
who have invested in coal mines
will have civic pride enough to be
wiling to pay this small tax and
thereby help TO make Kentucky
grow greater as they grow richer of

spends thousands OF dollars to fos.

fits"

have new leader this week in Mrs.

all the contestants have made good
gains.
Judging from the biggest increas Sc,
Mrs. Lou Webb is undoubtedly en-
titled to the honors Entering the
contest only two weeks ago with
1000 votes, this week she stands
fifth with 1920. Some increase,
that?
You just can't always tell, for they
are all so closely punched that the
last one in the list may be at the
top next week.
Don't be a gutter just because
someone has passed you this week.
$500 pianos are uot given away

Death is the most insistent
visitor that knocks at the gate,
of Life. The Grim Reaper is the
ultimate lord over all things ami
mate. He walks all the high
ways and byways Of human exist
ence. The hearthstone knows
him, the market places fear him.
and all the avenues of the wol Ids
activities tremble in his onin.
Gus presence. Nor peasant, nor
prince, nor potentate, nor the ex-
allied of the earth, dare say him
nay. He is the inevitable. He
is the unexplainable. He is mys-
terry incarnate. He comes into
hearts which today are filed
viii h the sweet incense of JOY
aud gladness and leaves on the
morrow the laden ashes of sorrow
and bereavement. And into
bosoms. where yesterday grew
the roses of happiness and the
lilies of content, today are filed
with the thorns Of anguish and
the thistles of grief. And all
the philosophers Of the world
cannot stifIe grief, and even
Reason, with its 81 bile PALLIATIVE
es cannot soothe broken heart.
Yet there is consolation. For,
over yonder, where love is as
chaste as the soul of an angel
and mercy is sweeter than the
breath of the celestial morning,
we indulge the fond conviction
that he, whose mortal remains
lie among us, has won his last
case before the arbitrament CT
the Bar of God.

the preserving, the upright and

the opportunist, the trickster,
are forever barred from that
charmed circle wherein dwell
only those whose laurels are just
ly merited and whose fame is
nObly won. The bow he welded
was that of a Ulysses, and no
weakling ever hears the twang
Of that sturdy string. In his
culver was no mean arrow, and
in his armor was no unworthy
steel. He knew the law and the
reason thereof. AS a counselor.
he gave the wisdom which comes
from ripe experience and sound
learning; as an advocate, he was
the peer of the best; as judge,
he meted out the law with an in
tegrity, u fidelity to duty, and all
unerling justice, worthy Of the
occupant of high judicial station.

takes in introducing the bin:
Under present conditions the rev.

ors, for the purpose o lie saving ap.
paratus for use in case OF mine dls.
ssters, and for numerous other wor
thy and proper purposes. To meet
these new aud ever increasing expen
ses, the assessed valuation of prop
erty in the several counties has been
increased year after year. The same
class of taxpayers have bad to bear
the burden, growing heavier year
BY year. Many bills are now pend
ing proposing to spend money,
This is the only one that will pro-
duce any considerable revenue, with.
