Made Aockery Of Marriane

A question as to the validity of a
marriage which took place recently in
Colombo, Ceylon, has arisen, The
bride and bridegroom played a rather
unusual practical joke at the cere-
mony, for the former dressed up as
the bridegroom and the latter mas
querated in the woman's clothes, and
the ceremony was quite through be-
fore the two people concerned were
identified.

1913 conferred upon the Commls
sion "all statutory powers, dutle'
and privileges heretofore eNercls
ed by the State Board of Equal
zation.'
In the exercise of the powe
conferred upon it by the act o
1911 the Tax Commission notified
all Assessors that assessments o
all property at full cash valu'
would be required.
Mr. Rhea and number of othel
assessors endeavored conscien
tiously to comply with the law il
this regard. Many assessors ap
parently made no such effort.
In consequence Of the yer,

the authority conferred upon it b.
the Act of 1911 the Tax Commis
sion assumed to "equalize" tn,
valuation of all counties, and i
did this by raising the total as
sessed valuation of the state by
the sum of $780, ,551 ,65S. 1t in
creased the valuations of all coun.
ties in the state except Crowley,
Dolores, Moffat, Park and Sum
nit, which it did not change at all.
Mr.. Rhea' s assessment was in
creased from $15,226,445 to $15,-
239, AS; that is to say the Com
mission added $4,000 (or .0S45 of
one per cent to his assessment.
In order to avoid if possible the
legal question as to the respective
authority Of the Board of Equal
zation and the Tax Commission,
the Tax Commission reported its
findings to the Board and the
Board after hearing from the diff
ferent assessors adopted these find
ings as its own. The Commission,
however, and not the Board, di-
rected the Assessor to make the
increase and notified him that the
levy for state purposes was fixed
at 1.3 mills. 1t may be noted in
passing that of all the counties
whose assessment was changed,
Mr.. Rhea s assessment was chang
ed the least, which | believe is a
substantial tribute to his fairness
both to the state and to the tax
payers. One County was raised
one hundred and forty-two per
cent, four others were raised each
more than one hundred per cent,
Eve others each more than fifty
per cent, and eleven others each
more than twenty per cent.

The Bourbon news., 1913-03-25

1t is generally after a man has
travelled. not while he is travelling,
that he is given to denouncing the rail-
way porter as whisk broom bandit.
The moral courage to resent the hold
up is almost always lacking at the
time the crime is committed.
A great many travellers who have
submitted to extortion at the hands of
the Pullman porter and who, left tc
themselves, would doubtless 60 on sub
mitting every time they undertake a
railway journey, will cordially agree
with Gov. Dunn, of Illinois, in his de-
nunciation of the practice. When the
porter of thescar on which the Governor
travelled to Springfield the other day
advanced, brandishing the Inevitable
Whisk broom, he was ordered to stand
back upon pain of arrest and prosecu-
tion for assault and battery.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that the Whisk broom bandit who vic
timizes others is himself victim. He
is not desperate by choice, but be-
comes one simply because the prosper
Gus Pullman company. by which he is
employed, declines to pay him living
wage. At the bottom of it all the
fault is the company's. If it could be
persuaded or compelled TO amend its
ways in this respect. the porter would
not be driven to the necessity of level
ing his whisk broom at the public anc
demanding It's small change.

the race for United States Senator is
expected any day now. The Governor
agrees that the peop of Kentucky

Creary's most trusted friendsiwho was
in Louisville the other day appear ed
