Thomas May Get Appointment.

A dispatch from Frankfort to the
Louisville Post says: "While there
isn't job at the disposal of Gov. Nc
Creary, at the close of this legislative
session. with which the name of some
Senator or Representative is not con-
nected in the gossip going the rounds
of the Capital, the only sure tip seems
to be the appointment of Senator
Claude M. Thomas, of bourbon coun-
ty, as Comm1nwealth's Attorney for
the old Fourteenth Judicial district, to
succeed Robert &. Franklin, who
comes ovre into the new Thirty sixth
district, the county of Franklin.
Senator Thomas is not an applicant
for the place in any sense of the word,
but it is understood that it is to be
rendered him by the Governor when
the law becomes effective in June
next. His district will be the counties
of Bourbon, Scott and Woodford, and
the Circuit Judge is Judge Robert L..
Stout. of Woodford. Senator Thomas
is one of the best lawyers in the dis
trict and his appointment will give
general satisfaction.
Connected with the gossip relative
to the appointment Of Senator Thoma 8
is the story that the Governor will
name Judge James H. Polsgrove, of
the Frankfort bar, as Judge of the
new Thirty eighth district"

If not previously given attention,
the present month affords one of the
best opportunities to give to many
orchards their needed winter pruning.
Ii done annually the pruning will be
usually light one, but in perhaps a
majority Of the orchards in Kentucky
the work, is neglected from year to
year until more radical treatment m ~
be necessary. In the trees thus neg.
lected, in which little recent growth
has been made andew lowered vital
ity. q vigorous winter pruning tends
to quicken the activities of the tree
and If followed by feeding cultivation
and spraying will often bring such
trees into profitable bearing con-
dition within short time.
A tree, however, already growing
vigorously will require pruning some
what guardedly, as "a severe pruning
at this season will often result in q
rank growth OF water sprouts during
the spring and summer. Any such
overgrowth of tree when seen in a
mature specimen is usually due to a
strong soil, thorough tilling or over
manuring and may usually be checked
by withholding tillage and manure and
seeding down for while.
In one of its fundamental objects
pruning is not materially unlike the
purpose of a farmer, when in. his
corn field by replanting or by thinning
he tries to secure Uniform stand of
paints neither too few nor too many
stalks in each hill
So in a tree top it is important
among other things for the largest
pr oduction of fruit that there should
be full stand Of branches forming a
round, full headed tres-with such
notifications of form as are character
lstlc of the variety-well filled on all
sides, yet nowhere so crowded as to
prevent the free circulation of air and
liberal admission of light.
The most common error IN the prac-
tice Of pruning is in cutting branch
several inches out from the main stem
upon which it grew. Frequently this
pruning is done with an ak leaving
stubs three to six inches long. This
is ruinous practice, fer the long stub
cannot be covered over with new heal
ing tissue and in few years decay
will be started in this spur and scon
travel down into the main branch or
trunk of the tree; finally resulting in
a rotten hearted or hollow tree, a de-
lightful place while it lasts for the
WoOdpeckers to nest. but soon destined
TO be broken down in gale of wind or
sleet storm. Thousands of apple and
other trees in Kentucky have been
brought to an untimely end through
such methods of pruning.
In removing the branch of a tree it
is of great Importance to saw it off
close to the branch or trunk upon
which it was growing. If it is large
and heavy branch, first make an under
cut upon the lower side of the limb.
then complete upon the upper side so
that in falling away the branch may
not tear off a strip of wood and bark,
leaving an ugly wound upon the main
brunch. The cut surface, if more than
an inch across, should be brushed with
paint or some similar material to pre-
vent decay starting in the wood before
it has becUme healed over.
Pruning. however, IS only one of the
several practices needed in most
orchards and should be followed by
spraying, by fertilizing and by tilage.

FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN

Many mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam
lily, especially among the children, by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DIR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
IN all parts of America.
DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then
it is mild and never gripes 1t is all
that child's remedy should be
though it is good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics
which should not be given to chill
dren under any circumstances.

Place the Tax Where it Should be

Instead Of taxing sugar nearly two
cents pound, place tax on wealth.
The Democratic House of Representa-
tlves has announced this as part Of
its program to bring about reduction
in the cost of living.
Now get ready for the old cry "You
can't do it; it's unconstitutional"
Whenever it is proposed to tax wealth
instead OF poverty, wealth raises the
question of constitutionality, accompe-
MED with the charge of "radicalism. 4"
The income tax is not radical. Every
first class nation Of the earth-except
this one-raises part of it's revenue
to meet the expenses of government
by taxing incomes, among such ma
tions being Great Britain, Japan,
France, Denmark. Germany, Holland,
Austria, Switzerland, Australia, New
Zealand and many more.
Under our.present fiscal policy the
expense of maintaining the army and
navy, building public buildings and
running the government is met by tax
ing the things the people must have in
order to live. Practically all revenue
is derived from TIE customs houses and
internal revenue Offices, with the ex-
ception of comparatively small
amount derived from the corporation
tax, which was recently passed as a
cheating substitute for an income tax.
While the hat, coats and shirts Of the
masses are taxed almost II per cent
under this fiscal system, Rockefeller,
Morgan, and the other millionaires
are not asked by the federal govern
ment. to pay any tax whatever on their
swollen fortunes. Thus a poor man
with family actually pays more to-
ward running the government than
does millionaire bachelor.
The Democratic plan is to place
sugar on the free list. This will repeal
the tax on the breakfast table, now
borne by the Ameri can people. Then
the present corporation tax will be ex-
tended to Include individuals and CO.
partnerships having an annua! income
Uf S., 600 or more. The excess of in
come over $4,000 will be taxed one per
cent, bringing into the treasury be-
tween $50, 100000 and $50, 900, 900
y ear. which will more than cover the
S53, 900. 900 now derived annually from
the sugar tariff. The price of sugar to
the consumer it is estimated, will then
be reduced about / 1-2 cents a pound.
Those who scout the idea that an in
come tax bill can be so drawn as to
stand the test of the Supreme Court,
may be referred to the opinion of any
one OF the country's leading lawyers,
William Howard Taft, as follows: "In
my Judgment an amendment to the
constitution for an income tax is not
necessary. l believe that the income
tax when the protective system of Gus
toms and internal revenue tax shall
not furnish enough for government
needs, can and should be devised which
under the decisions of the Supreme
Court will conform to the constitu-
tion."
