bankers. in address, on Financial
Advertising" at a round-table
luncheon of the Poor Richard
Club, Philadelphia. last week.
Experiments, have recently been
made by New York firms, Mr..
March said, in advertising with
syndicated and individual news
papers in most of the big centers
of the country. The carefully
tabulated record of results shows
that heavier and quicker responses
came from the newspapers than
from similar advertising placed
with magazines.

The Leading Case.

County Attorney E. w. Senff
is in receipt of copy of the June
number of the Columbia Law Re-
view, published by the Columbia
University, of new York City,
containing an elaborate discussion
of the law as laid down by the
Kentucky Court of Appeals in the
recent brick street suit of the City
of Mt. Sterling VS.. Montgomery
county. The article recognizes
the local case as the leading case
upon the subject in the United
States and concludes as follows:
although it would accord better
than justice to require the county
to pay for the improvement of its
property, it seems more consonant
with legal principle to presume,
in the absence of express words.
that the legislature did not intend
to disturb the freedom from taxa
ton which the county enjoyed,
and the principal case is supported
by the weight of authority"

Consistency a Jewel.

We have aimed many hot shots at
the mail order eveil, but confess that
We have sometimes grown weary
when we saw local firms send away
for their printing. and this weariness
has been intensified when We saw the
dry goods man send away for his fur
niture; the furniture man send away
for his dry goods; the banks send
away for the office supplies; the hard
ware man send away for his groceries;
and so on through the whole weari-
some list. The mail order evil is an
eyer-present affliction, and it certainly
cannot be rcmedied unless every fel-
low is willing to take the medicine he
prescribes for the other fellow. The
printer doesn't send away for anything
because he cant afford it and lacks
the cash to pay for it.

That the property owners of this
county will get off with the payment
OF s23.0 less than was last year
collected. IL very gratifying informa-
ton, and that Is exactly what the fig
ures show. Independent has always
argued that 1t would make better
general impression to raise valuations
and lower the levy, especially with
would be purchasers of property,
Heretofore our valuations were way
down and the records showed outsiders
that we were paying six to eight per
cent taxes. They would not stop to
investigate and learn that our valua-
tons were only one-third or one-fouth
OF actual values. but would exclaim:
"Why. that is Just the same rs borrow
ing money!" Many home people have
been puzzled over how values could be
raised and not leave some sort of an
opening to graft In higher taxes. but
the problem is an easy one to solve
when you come to look at 1t rightly.
