THE INCOME A

SONS of the discussion of the
new income tax law has tended
to create the impression that
its processes are complex. On
the contrary. they are simple,
claims the Duluth Herald.
A Boston attorney, writing
in Rollins Magazine. sets forth
the principles of the new law
clearly. as follows:
1. That everyone with an
income over three thousand
dollars shall pay one per cent
of the surplus over that figure
to the federal government.
Except that one exc mptien of
= thousand dollars . may
be added in the case of a hus-
band and wife living together.
z. That so far as practicable
the government will collect
the tax from the source Of that
income, thus dealing with an
impartial person less likely to
risk the penalties of evasion.
3. That although each per-
sons tax may be collected from
more than one source, it is the
intention of the act to levy but
one tax on an income of twenty
thousand dollars OF less.
4. That an additional tax at
a graduated rate is imposed on
incomes over twenty thousand
dollars.
The incomes from state and
.loeai bonds are not taxable.
Salaries of state. city and GER
tain federal officers are exempt.
In making his return the tax
payer may deduct from his
total income necessary ex.
penses actually paid out in
carrying on any business. not
including personal, living or
family expenses; interest paid
on bonded indebtedness; taxes,
uninsured losses in trade III by
fire, storm or shipwreck; claims
charged off as worthless; de-
probation of property used in
business; dividends on stock in
corporations themselves sub-
ject to the tax; and income tax
ed at the source.
One point not yet settled is
whether everybody must make
a return, regardless of his in
come. The general impress.
sion seems to be that this will
not be necessary. Everybody
having an income of three
thousand dollars or more. how.
ever. will have to make a re-
turn even if no tax ie paid; and
failure to receive a blank or
wtsichst to -nIake it does not re.
slieye the taxpayer of his obliRa'
4tion. Penalties for failure Il
make: returns and for making
false returns are severe and,
az conrse.'it will be necessary
4Osenfore them rigidlv. else the
Iawwili become a farce. &.

Talk about taxation and CLASH
fication, the State debt, and etc. ,
is ali tommy-rot. If we had the
right kind of Legislators stop
could be pnt to all this in less
than sixty days, by putting the
tax equal. Take whIskey for all
example. In barrel of whiskey
there is at least forty gallons,
the real value of which is never
less than two dollars per gallon
or $500 per barrel. This liquor
is taxed on a uniform assessment
of $40 90 per barrel when it
should be $64 90. This increase
would be sufficient to wipe out
the debt and harm no one. Why
is this not done? The more we
see of politics the more we tire of
them.

Circuit Judgeship.

from alt tnaC can De learned
from unauthoritative sources
Judge j. M. Benton will likely
be an entry in the Gubernatorial
derby. This has left open for
discussion the probable candi-
dates for the Circuit Judgeship
in this district and that subject is
being freely discussed in this
city. Jessamine county's own
son, who has served the district
so well as Commonwealth At
torney appears to be the logical
candidate, and deserves the ele-
walton to the Judgeship. We
have also heard Grant E. Lilly,
of Richmond, spoken of as
probable starter. Mr.. Lilly is
one of Richmond's leading prac.
titioners, apd one of the best
read attorneys in the state
Nicholasville Argonaut.
To the above article Mr.. Lilly
replies as follows in his paper,
the Madisonian:
I'VE acknowledge our indebted
ness TO our friends and especial
ly the Argonaut, for its kindly
expressions of interest in US.
"We are not a politician and
ask no reward for our political
faith. We vote the Democratic
ticket because we believe it is
right.
''The office of Circuit Judge is
purely non-political and should
not be turned over to any one on
the ground that it would be ad-
ministered from a political stand
point. The Bench must be made
nOn-partisan.
1--WE note, with pleasure, that
Judge Benton is slyly looking at
the gubernatorial Chair and many
of his admirers over here will be
glad to help push him along"
If he enters the race, Judge
Benton certainly will be a popu-
Tar and strong candidate for Gov
ernor, and many Powell citizens
will give him their most loyal
support.
1t certainly will also give US
the very greatest of pleasure to
give our suffrage to Grant K. Lii
ly, who we know to be honest,
upright and fully capable to serve
the people Of his district. The
writer well remembers Mr.. Lilly
when he was County Attorney of
Estill and We were an humble cit
izen of the same county, and how
he fought the illegal issuance of
the railroad bonds of that county,
and after their illega, issuance,
how he fought against their col
lection. Mr.. Lilly was right in
this case, and would have won,
but he was up against great odds,
and all the money necessary. In
this case he did all that any at
torney county could do, and far
more than most of them would

1t sometimes painfully occurs
that we cannot indorse some of
our best friends for an office to
which they aspire. We like al
ways to support our best friends
and do do 50 when possible, but
just such support is what has put
us too often in the rut. Electing
unfit men to office will never
help our county, district or State.
1t is better for the Democratic
party to put up good men than
for the other side to name them.
When we indorse a man for Of
fee, we should be sure that he is
a fit man.
Indorsing friends and their ac-
tions has brought many persons
to degradation, and voting for
them has brought counties, dis
tricts and states to the same
