ITO get more land to pay MORE
taxes"
A simple careless expression in
San Francisco newspaper caused a
revolution of feeling and brought
about the change which all Califor-
mans are now proud of.
The newspaper referred to printed
an article to the effect that the same
old Constitutional Amendment would
be voted on at the November election
and added facetiously that 'the Cow
Counties" would probably vote for it,
and treated it as a joke.
The newspaper evidently underesti-
mated the power of the Cow Coun-
ties" as this little attempt at witticism
made the Cow Counties" sit up and
take notice.
The people in "the Cow Counties"
commenced to ask themselves: Why
is it that farm lands and town prop
erty pay the bulk of taxes? Why are
the owners of stocks, bonds, notes and
other personal property able to get off
scott free?
Have We a uniform system of taxa
ton in practice as well as in name?
And such like questions.
Well, the result was the Cow Coun-
ties" in California determined to throw
off the yoke and the amendment was
Overwhelmingly carried.

have shown marked progress and

sound revenue laws.
1T provides that any and all changes
made Hereunder in our tax laws up to
1917 must be approved by the people
themselves after passage by the leg
islature and their approval may be

hands of the people.
I'VE consider the amendment nee
essary in order to enable the legisla'

demned by the then State Tax Com
missions and criticised annually by

Value of Good Roads.

Pennsylvania voters are soon to pass
upon proposed amendment to the state
constitution authorizing bond issue of
$50, 900, 600 for building good roBds, and
the Philadelphia Press. urging the farm
ers TO cast their ballots for the measure,
produces these irrafutable arguments:
Fifty million dollars spent in this
State for good roads would pay hand
somely-nowhere a better bonus than
upon the farmsteads which must reap
a largs share of the general benefit.
Good roads will open up reader con-
nection between the farmer and his Gus
toners. They will enable him more
easily to get his products to the railroads.
He can travel across good roads TO mar
ket where bad road would make this
impossible. He can, on solid highway,
spead out 10 create fresh markets in di-
rections where to-day they do not exist
Good roads save time. This means mon
ey. They save labor and wear and tear
This means a cutting down of expenses
How much more horseflesh is required
on farm where adjacent roads are
lumpy, rutted, and in bad condition than
where sound roads make the journey
light! Good roads do for the farm ex-
actly what they do for any new wild
country They make an inroad for bus
mess and they make an outlet for pro
duct. 1t is a simple matter of fact that
where good roads have been built the
farming business has improved and pros
pered just in proportion to the road ia
cilities created. And the value of any
property goes up for its having sound
road or roads within easy reach"

Until few years ago the State of
California was suffering under the
same system of taxation which pre-
walls in Kentucky although many eff
forts had been made to change it.
The average citizen is opposed to
innovations as a general proposition
and while the state suffered and the
burden Of taxation fell heavily on the
small property owner, as it does in
Kentucky, it was hard to arouse the
people and capitalistic classes man
aged to keep the old law in effect and
went on hiding their personal properly
