Our Tax Increase.

rs heretofore announced in
our columns, the State Board of
Equalization has indicated ten
tativc raise Of twelve per cent. on
farm lands in Montgomery coun-
ty and being informed by the
County Attorney that such a
raise would be unjust, if not
cOnhscatory in its character, we
want to submit for the considera-
tion of the State Board a few
suggestions in support of this
belief.
Last year taxes were paid on
the assessment made as of Sept.
!, 1919. Farm lands were listed
at S3,629,69o.oo. The State
Board raised this six per cent.
without, as we believe, any justi-
fcation, other than that the
money was needed to pay the
salaries of useless Offices, eXtrav-
agant appropriations, etc, which
also seems to be the real reason
in the present instance.
This year the taxes will be cal
Culated on the assessment made
as of Sept. /, 1913, in which farm
lands were assessed at $3,738,-
5I4.OO, a voluntary increase by
the farmers themselves of $Io8,-
$4,000, or about three per cent.
In view of these facts, we
think our assessment on farm
lands should not be disturbed.
Farm lands are no better now
than they were when assessed
for last year, if as good, and
Montgomery county, in our
judgment, IS now assessed more
than any county around it, con
sidering the relative quality of
the lands. 1t must be remember
ed that in parts of our county,
notably in Jeffersonville, Spen-
Ger, and Levee precincts, much
poor land is located.
We sincerely hope Judge
Chenault will appoint a commit
tee of representative citizens to
appear before the State Board
and that every effort will be
made to prevent TINS unJust IN
crease. Unless something is done
IN Kentucky whereby personal
property will be made TO bear its

CLIPPING THE WORK HORSES
n Animal 10 Worked to Extent o.
Perspirins Il Dries on Quickly
Whsn Hair 10 Cut Short

Logic and practical experience In.
dicate that any horse which must
regularly exert itself to the point of
profuse perspiration should be clipped
whenever the hair is long. Unless q
horse obliged to labor until covered
with perspiration has the long hair
taken of, !: naturally holds its perspi-
ration for considerable time. and II
the animal is left outside in cold
weather. or even II stabbed in other
than warm building. It ia likely to
suher from coughs. colds. pneumonia
and other diseases that may be
brought on by such condition. On
the other hand IL the long hair 10
clipped of and the horse is forced to
labor to the extent of perspiring. Il
dries on very quickly when left stand
ing, but In all cases 1t is wise to use
blanket. The blanketed lorse with
short hair will dry OF quickly while
the same animal with a coat of long
hair dries OF very slowly with or with
out blanket. and the probability
that 1t would be disabled in some
manner is much greater for the un-
clipped horse. II is growing to be
quite common practice to clip work
horses in the fall, the owner being
careful to instruct, the driver to use
blanket whenever the animal 10 left
to stand on a cold day. and when
stabbed in any but comfortable
building.
