MODERN NEWSPAPER IS ENCYCLOPEDIA
Every Member Of a Family Can Find Some.
thing Of Interest In Its Columns.

The modern newspaper Is an ency-
clopedia of facts for every citizen Of
the community. The wholesale mer-
chant in the city or town picks up the
market page and he knows the ruling
prices in the products he sells. The
farmer examines the same page and
he finds what hogs are worth, what his
sheep and cattle will sell for and what
his tobacco will bring. The busy house
wife or growing girl looks at the adver-
Using pages of the paper and reads all
about the bargains at the dry goods
stores, grocery stores and the prices Of
the thousand and one commodities that
she needs.
The farmer, if he is interested in his
farm and wants TO make money in il
and through il, studies the farm infor-
nation that is given in his newspaper
and if he reads that faithfully he gets
all the practical information that he
could secure from the best farm Jour-
nal.
When there is war in the Balkans
and the Bulgarians and Greeks and
Servians start in to drive the Turks
from Europe, every American eagerly
follows the courses of the war. When
there is an earthquake and fire in San
Francisco every Kentuckian wants To
know what is happening to his fellow
American. There is no event in the
great world that does not interest him.
Now tho only way he can keep up with
the march of events is by taking and
reading a newspaper.
The Lexington Herald is offering a
mail rate of $500 per year which rate
will be in force until January 10. 1913.

respectfully suggest that, lacking your

FARM PRODUCTS
ARE SUBJECT
TO TAXATION
RELIEF NOT YET AFFORDED
Comp. Gen. Wright Advises
Tax Collectors

Atlanta. April There appears to
be an impression in many sections of
the state that farm products in the
hands of the producer are exempt
from taxation. To such an extent has
this opinion grown that Controller
General Wright has found it necessary
to send out instructions to tax collec-
tors calling their attention to the fact
that farm products are not exempt
and that they must be returned along
with all other properties.
The reason why this impression has
gained ground is that an amendment
of the constitution which passed the
Legislature last summer and was
ratified by the people in the fall, pro-
vides that the Legislature may enact
a law to exempt such farm products,
If it sees fit. But the constitutional
amendment itself does not provide the
exemption, and before the farmer can
be relieved of taxes on his years crop
the Legislature must pass specific
law on the subject.
1t is altogether probable that this
law will be passed at the coming SEES
sion this summer; although the CON
stitutional provision is in no sense
mandatory.
Another point which Controller Cen
eral Wright is making in his instruc-
tons to tax collectors is that all doks
must be returned for taxation at their
fair market value. For the last two
or three years the state has put a tax
of 81 on all dogs, regardless of wheth-
er they are worthless ours or high
bred hunters.
All sorts of attempts were made to
repeal the dog tax, but the best that
could be done at he last session was
an amendment of the law which makes
the dog personal property and pro-
vides for taxation on the basis of his
actual value.
OF course, this means the state
would get practically nothing out Of
the dog tax. Some few owners of fine
dogs will possibly return them at a
nominal value, but the average dog
owner, looking at the matter from the
viewpoint that his canine friend is
worthless to everybody except himself,
will fail to return it at all.
Georgia got 100000 out of the dog
tax the first year it went into effect.
This amount gradually dwindled and
under the new arrangement if the
state gets 81 800 it will be doing extra
ordinarily well.
