NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. a.
There was again no election on the
seventh ballot for long term United
States senator today, but the vote
was the closest since the balloting
began. Shields came within Ave
votes Of an election, receiving identi
cally the same vote that Tyson got the
day before, sixty-two. Enloe's vote
was sixty-ore, the highest vote that
he has received so far. There were
nine scattering votes, five for Nickel
lar, three for Alison and one for Els
TILL
No election for the short term, the
vote resulting: Bass, So; Webb, 33;
Bullard, 26; scattering, 20.
There was intense excitement pre-
ceding the calling of the roll as it was
generally expected that an election
would be made. Both sides were Wis
IDLY scared when the calling of the
roll commenced and the issue hung
in doubt until the last name on the
roll was called and the result was fl.
nally announced.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION.

Editor News
The people who are opposed to
paying taxes themselves, but
want other people taxed, have
succeeded in getting the legis-
lature to pass a resolution to SUBJ
nit to the people of the State a
proposed amendment to the
present Constitution on the SUBJ
ject Of taxation. The statutes
of the State need some amend
ments on the subject Of taxation,
so as to carry out the provisions
of the Constitution as it is now,
but according to my way of think
ing the Constitution now embod-
les the right principle of tax
alton, and under its provisions
as they are, all needed reforms
can be made. l quote the prin-
cple as provided in the present
Constitution.
Taxes shall be levied and COL
lected for public purposes only,
They shall be uniform upon all
property subject to taxation
within the territorial limits of the
authority levying the tax, and
all taxes shall be levied and col.
lected by general laws. All prop.
erty not exempted from taxation

Robert C. Terrill, commission
er Of Public Roads, is taking a
great deal of interest in better
ing the conditions of our public
highways. He has addressed a
letter to the engineers of the va
rious counties, giving pointers as
to how to work to bring about
good results. We take a few ex-
tracts from.his letter: AT this
season of the year it is not ad-
visable to attempt placing loose
dirt upon the earth roads unless
arrangements can be made to
have the split log drag used dur
ing the fall and winter, but a
great deal of good can be accom-
plished by opening the bitches
and cleaning the shoulders of all
rubbish and surplus dirt that re-
tard the flow of water toward the
bitches. The earth from the
bitches and shoulders shoulders
should be thrown on the opposite
side of the bitches from the road,
or hauled and dumped over the
edge of the fills, with the view
of widening them. All weeds
and underground of every de-
scription should be cleared from
the ground between the fences
and the bitches, and all rubbish
piled and burned or removed en-
tirely from the right of way.
Those living in the towns or cit.
les can help in the good roads
movement, by either furnishing
personal assistance. or donating
funds to be used by the County

General James Garrett, who
has been mingling business with
pleasure in..sshWashington this
week, IS very much interested,
as many others are in getting
the State of Kentucky ont from
under itsIErresent burdensome
debt. He talked to the writer at
length upon the proposition and
he advanced ideas which show
that he is thoroughly familiar
with the subject, and, if follow
ed, will bring about the desired
end without:raising the tax rate
one penny. Besides being one of
the very best and::most brilliant
lawyers in Kentucky, General
Garrett is a deep thinker and his
hard study on the taxation prop
osition has made him a master
of the intricategsubject. He re.

is authorized to divide it into
classes, and to say which of
these classes shall be subject to
local taxation. So they can
place bank stocks, notes and
mortgages, bonds and corpora
ton stocks and cash in one class,
and lands, cattle, horses and
farm products and merchandise,
into another class, and impose
different rates of taxation on the
different classes, and exempt any
classes that they may desire
from county and town taxes.
What would be the probable and
logical result of such a system?
The farmer, merchant and labor
ing man stays at home and has
all he can do to see after his
home affairs. The big corpora
tons and other owners of large
monied interest will have its lobby
as it always has had at Frank
fort, looking after it's interest
with the Legislature. When the
classification is made, whose in
terest is it likely to be made in?
When it comes to saying what
property shall be subject to local
taxation and what property shall
not, whose interest is that likely
to be in? 1t needs no argument
to show how that would be. Let
me suggest what could be done,
and what is the probable purpose
of the people making this prop
osition? Have the property di-
vided into two classes for tax
alton. In the one class place
bank stocks, bonds and all secu.
rites for money corporations,
stocks and bonds. In the other
class place farming lands,
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep ane

etc., and town lots, and all such
property as is usually owned by
the farming people. The first
class would comprise a great por-
ton of the wealth of the State.
1t would include the wonderful
wealth of the coal lands of Ken
lucky because they are all own
ed and controlled by corpora
tions. so are most of the large
mercantile establishments, man.
ufacturies and distilleries. They
will then say that this first class
shall be taxed for State purposes
only, and that the other class be
taxed for county and town pur-
poses. Then how costly would
it be for this same lobby to get
such laws enacted that would
shift from the State to the coun-
ties and towns a great portion of
the burdens now being borne by
the State such as the support of
paupers, idiots and lunatics, the
payment of all the expenses of
the courts assessment of prop
erty, juries and witnesses, and
such other things as are now be-
ing paid out of the State treas
ury. By this process the State
would need but title revenue,
but the counties would need
more. There would then be no
call for uuch tax on the first
class, as the State would need
but little revenue, but the bur-
den would fall heavy on the 9TH
er class. In my opinion this pro.
posed amendment is not desired
to tighten the burdens of tax
alton, but to, shift them from one
class of persons and property
that is most able to pay. to that
81 ass that isleast able to pay.

G. PAUL SMYTHE.

My excuse for writing this arti-
Gle is, that l find that there is
not one man out of ten that
knows there is such a proposition
pending. The fact that the at
tention of the people has not
been called to it as it should have
been, ought to be sufficient ev-
idence that there is niger in
the wood pile. The present
Constitution provides, that be-
fore an amendment shall be sub
mitted to vote, the Secretary
of State shall cause such pro-
posed amendment, and the time
the same is to be voted upon to
be published at least 80 days be-
fore the vote is to be taken there
on, in such manner as may be
prescribed by law. Remember
the publication must be at least
ninety days before the vote is
taken. 1t is now claimed that
the secretary forgot to make any
publication until after the time
expired, and since that time it
has been only published in two
newspapers. and in that way the
people are not posted, and the
danger is that they will, for that
reason, not vote, and at the
same time, the parties who are
pushing the matte-, will vote for
it, and thus adopt it as part of
the Constitution and destroy
that principle of equality of tax
alton embodied in the present
Constitution. 1t is my honest
judgment that it is to the inter-
est of every voter in Adair coun-
ty, and his duty beside, to vote
against it.

sessed for taxation at it's fair
cash value estimated at the price
it would bring at a fair volunta-
ry SALE"
The property referred to as ex-
empted by the Constitution is
$3.50 of personal property of a
housekeeper with a family and
church and school property and
purely charitable institutions.
Under these provisions taxes
may be too high, as they are now,
or they may be lowered, but if
these provisions are carried out,
whether high or low every body
must fare alike. My opinion as
to what we need most is to get
rid of graft. There are several
hundred useless officers and COM
missions in the State with SAL
aries at the expense of the tax
payers, but the proposed amend.
ment will have nothing to do
with these things unless the ten
dency will be to increase them.
Under the present Constitution
whatever taxes are levied have
to be levied alike on all charac-
tiers of property according to its
value whether for State pur-
poses, county purposes, district
or town purposes. It's purpose
is perfect equality on the subject
of taxation. This is the princi-
pie. Can any amendment i'm
prove upon it? Under it if the
legislature were to enact a law
that levied one rate on one class
of property, and another rate or
enother class, the courts WOULD
= be bound to decide it uncon.
stitutional and not enforcible
Under its provisions the Legis
: lature can enact any law on the
subject of taxation so it doe:
not violate the principle of equal
ity. If a law should be passed
that would levy a tax of so cents
on the hundred on lands and q
cents on bank stock or mort
, cages and money, it would bt
bound to be held unconstitution
al. If they should pass a Law
= that lands, horses and cattle
should be taxed for county pur
: poses, and bank stock, bonds ant
: money exempt from taxation TO
: county purposes it would be hell
to be unconstitutional and no
enforcible. Before this princi
pie was incorporated in the pres
/ ent Constitution, it was claimet
that there were ten millions o
dollars worth of property in Ken
lucky that was exempted iron
F taxation, belonging to rich cor
porations. When the presen
Constitution was submitted t
