BROWN TAX BILL
PROVED A JONAH
Not What Citizens OF Ow-
ensbOrO Wanted.
BROWN WORKED HARD FOR IT
In the Legislature-DiscOv.
cred Its Defects After
1t Was Passed.
HOPES IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The Greensboro Messenger of Sat
urday says
Mayor Hickman and other city Of
ficials were chagrined to learn on
Friday that the city would be the
loser by about $4,000 in revenue by
the passage of the Brown single
poll tax bill passed by the recent
Legislature. 1t was expected that
the bill would relieve citizens of
the city from the payment of more
than one poll tax. This purpose
was accomplished. However. the
further expectation that the county
would be the loser in revenue was
not realized, as it is provided in the
bill that the city shall not assess the
poll tax where it is paid to the coun-
ty.
The bill in full is as follows:
THAT no city of the Third
class shall hereafter levy or col
lect poll or capitation tax on
the citizens thereof for any year
in which the county in which
said city may be situated shall
levy or collect poll or capitation
tax on the citizens OF said city.
Section 2. All acts or parts
of acts. inconsistent with or in
conflict with the provisions of
this act are hereby repealed"
BY the operation of the new law
the city is precluded from collecting
about 5000 polls at $3.50 each. OF
this number of polls it is estimated
that one-third are those who pay no
property tax. To be plain. il is es-
timated that one-third OF the citi-
Zens of Owensboro who have hereto
fore contributed but $l.50 towards
the support of the city government,
will now be relieved of this onerous
burden. Persons who do not own
property will be entitled 10 live in
the city free of charge.
Previous to the passage of the law
there was but little difference in the
capitatiOn taxes in city and county.
The city collected two polls OF 81. 80
each, while in the county the tax
payers paid two polls, one OF $3.50
and another of 81 Representative
Elmer Brown made his race for the
Legislature upon the single plank OF
relieving the taX-burdened laboring
man from the payment of two poll
taxes.
The Mayor was in hopes that the
bill had not been signed by the Gov
ernor. and began an early campaign
to have citizens protest against its
becoming law. but this hope was
soon dissipated. as the Governor had
attached his signature to the bill.
The law can not be repealed I'M
der two years, and while it will not
affect the taxes levied for the pres
ent year. it is hoped that legal ac-
ton can be found that will inval-
idatc the Law.
Representative brown is in Louis
Vile. and in a telephone communi-
cation with the Messenger last night
said he certainly hoped the measure
would be- declared unconstitutional
ii il is not what the citizens OF Ow-
ensboro want Mr.. Brown worked
conscientiously for his single poll
tax bill from the ornning day ~ ihe

morning the Assembly adjourned,

Free Course for Coal.
Miners al Golden

GOLDEN, Colo, April with
the hope Of making Colorado the
most efficient and safest coal mining
state in the union, the faculty of the
school of Mines today inaugurated a
short course in coal mining for the
benefit Of coal mine employees. Act
ing President William G. Hssdane
hopes, with expert instruction furn-
ished free, to reduce the number of
accidents in the state mines.
There will be no fees for instruc-
tion, although it is announced that
material actually consumed in the lab
oratory will be charged for as will
also two or three text books. Hal
dane believes coal miners who desire
to study the scientific side of their
work will be attracted to the school.
The course opened today and will end
May n. Five branches will be taught
including mining, chemistry, mathe-
matics, mechanics with drawing and
geology. The mining part refers to
the elementary work of opening new
areas, use of explosives, haulage and
loading, drainage and pumping, pow
er, surface equipment, air require
ments, dust explosions and similar
matters.
