SALEM, July 2s::-Mrs. Ella George
lost her residence on Valley street
Saturday night by. fire. When the, fire
was discovered one room was enyel-

she did not discover the blaze until
too late to save the building or much
Of the contents. Mrs. George could i'll

cure for her home for herself and

WHAT TO DO WITH A MILLION

winning letters have been published.

wouldn't try to turn it into a bill
lion. And l wouldn't go around
building libraries and churches,
though nobody thinks more highly
of those philanthropies than l do.
But I'd seek out old couples who
have worked hard all their lives, and
I'D see that their last years made up
for all the hardships of the years
gone by-so that they could take
leave Of life with a song on their lips
instead of a moan. Then I'd search
out deserving young couples, who
with their little families are trying
to make start. I'd give them just
enough Of lift to keep away that
DISAGREEMENT which is most de-
spairing when it comes at a time
when youth should still be dream
ing-just enough Of a life to keep
some of the sweetness Of life in their
hearts, so they wouldn't grow old and
cross and crabby, with their dreams

rificial Offering, bled each year for
the sins of the body polite.
Unfortunately, when the late I'M
! lamented General Ass was in session,
it couldn't see the situation as Mr..
Lilly sees it. 1t loved the farmer.
1t took occasion at every opportuni-
ty to tell the farmer so-and when
opportunity didn't exist, it created
it.
But nevertheless and notwith-
standing, when it adjourned, there
remained on the statute books the
law which makes the farmer pay
practically all of the taxes that are
paid.
In other States where the taxa
ton of personal property is distin-
guishable from confscation that class
of property is known to pay its fair
proportion of the taxes.
; In States like Kentucky, which re-
fuses to distinguish personal proper
ty escapes taxation by one of the
otherof two simple processes-either
it goes into hiding where the Assess
or can't find it or its owner INDUCES
in perjury.
The members of the General Ass.
knew this, but they were convinced
that the farmer didn't. Rather than
appear false in their devotion, they
increased their professions, and. in
cidentally, added to the taxation of
the one character of property that is
not to be concealed. The addition
in the taxable value of the farmers
property for this year is, as Mr., Lii
~ states, little to the rise of $751;
100000.
In time, Kentucky may have a
General Assembly that does not pro-
coed on the assumption that the Ken
lucky farmer is a plain damphool.
Until then, our tax system will re-
main unchanged. Louisville Times.

THE PRICE OF LOVE.

The editor Of the Richmond Madi-
sonian has been reading over the re-
port Of the State Board of Equaliza-
ton and is moved thereby to the fol-
lowing reflections:
The annual farce has again been
enacted. The Assessors have assess
ed, and the State Board has raised
the assessment by the Assessor to
the extent of 5 8,42S,215 Whenev-
er an emergency exists, ingenuity is
equal to the occasion. In this in
stance having failed to get the Leg
islature to pass tax bill increasing
the levy, the State was thrown upon
its ingenuity, and rose to the digni-
ty of the occasion and raised the as
sessment of property to the tune of
over eighteen million dollars.
I'VE find that all of the personal
property of the State of Kentucky is
listed at the low figure of Sl19, 697, =
1873. From this take the exemptions.
$50, 1853, 649. and you have balance
left Of $3S, 1888, 489. representing all
forms of personal property. notes,
Asaecounts. bonds and everything of
taxable nature except lands and town
kts. The total valuation of the
State for taxable purposes is 1884,
273.S33, This statement shows that
all personal property of whatever
kind or description it may be, repre-
sents about Al per cent. of the total
taxable property. Thus it will be
seen that personal property is Trac-
tically escaping taxation, and that
DC burden Of the governement is
thrown bodily on the sh ulders Of
the Ian 0 .ner.
Possibly the railroads and other
corporations may take exception to
Mr.. Lilly's statement that the land
owner pays all of the taxes not paid
by the owner of personal property.
We seem to recall echoes of some
thing akin to protest over franchise
tax in the none too recent past. But
the editor of the Madisonian is on
safe ground when he reaches the
conclusion that, under Kentucky's
tax system, the landowner is the
goat, not the wild, rollicking, be-
whiskered quadruped that butts in
on things that should not concern
him, but a staked and tethered sac

PAYS TO SCRATCH THE PIG
There's Pork in Placing His HogshIp,
Says One Who Knows, and
Pork Means Money.

Old Twilight shunted a pail of
swill into the trough, and reaectively
scratched the pigs back. Old Twi-
light is not the only one in the world
who learned that there is pork in
scratching.
Little do you think, when you sit
down to your breakfast bacon that
good men scratched for it. We moss
backs scratch for t. living all the
time, and we are proud of it. There
is pork in it, and pork is money, and
money is gasoline, and gasoline is
power, and power is a chattel mort
gage, and a chattel mortgage is like
the grace of God-it is with us al
ways. Amen
AS soon as I get through writing
this, | am going out to the pen to
scratch a pig. 1t helps to make him
fat. You have got to please a pig,
same as a woman, or she--the pig, l
mean-won't reflect credit on you.
A pig with a crouch is a dead loss.
You might just as well pour your
swill into a rathole. But please your
pig; take half an hour off every day
and go out and scratch your pig
