FROM REPORT or KENTUCKY
TAX COMMISSION, 1903

There are two reasons why the
general property tax has failed in
operation. First, because under mod
ern conditions 1t cannot be enforced
effectively. Secondly because OF a
more or less conscious recognition OF
the fact that strict enforcement would
result In a still greater injustice than
now prevails"
THE attempt to tax all property at
q uniform standard Of valuation and
at the same rate. regardless Of its spe-
cial characteristics earning power or

CAN WE WIN

Interest upon the part OF the
Republicans in the State is shown
by the great number of queries
can we win?
We believe firmly that Morrow
and the entire Republican ticket
can be elected.
The conditions are: The Re-
publican party in Kentucky is
more firmly united than at any
former period in its history. The
platform is a clear and positive
statement of principles. The
ticket is capable and clean and
there are no skeletons in the
closet. Both platform and can
didates command the united sup
port of the Republicans of the
State.
Against this solid rank OF ear
nest and determined Republicans
lies a disrupted and discredited
Democracy. At the outset
there are many thousand labor
ers without employment ard
many hundred merchants with
out orders who are saying frank
ly and openly they are going to
vote the Republican ticket this
: fall.
J Then the State administration
has been the most disgraceful in
! the htory of party. Its officials
: have been only Indifferent and
incompetent but some of them
have been guilty of downright
stealings The Democrats of the
State have lost control of their
e party and its leadership has been
a usurped by a band of political
: pirates, which itself, divided in
9 to factions, are engaged in cut
d ting each others threats. But
u the strongest hope for Republi-
{ can success lies in the support OF
;, the best moral element in the
~ State.
