the appropriations contained therein,

Do the people of the State of Ken

laws? If so, in what respect? If it is
to reduce the rate of taxation or the
gross sum required of them for tax, we
should answer the question without
difficulty. Those who know how much
tax fund is required to cover the public
demands made no promise that the sum
will be reduced in the near future. 1t

become popular platform for aspiring

well, worthy of our consideration that
our present tax laws are antiquated and
obsolete, and that same should be
replaced at the earliest practical
moment by such laws as cover present
business and financial conditions and
requirements.

we are to continue to need as much
money for public purposes as formerly,
and that any tax reform soughc will

1t is comparatively easy matter for

the late James Robinson heirs against

from ~ Y.

attorney for the defendant. The Rob-

fact that the case involves the right of
distribution of the surplus of the large
insurance companies, as well as the
right of policy holders with participa-

companies. is of more interest to the
country at large, than the sum of 1920,

All preliminary motions thus far have
