EQUITABLE TAXATION.

who puts his money In lands and

tects to giving up the greater part Of
the earnings ON his securities, issued
on property already taxed, he is
looked upon as tax dodger, and the
man with the houses and lands who
cannot SO readily escape denounces a
tax system which seems so unfair. Ask
this man TO surrender q half 10 three
fourths Of the income from his houses
and lands and there would be another
tale. The revenue Of the first man
is limited, while that OF the other is
unlimited. and yet there are people
who cannot see the distinction EQuit

UNIFORM TAXATION.

well established the assessors In most
counties let movable property go by

Is q delusion and a snare. II may
suffice to fool the ignorant, but the
knowing ones just laugh at it, This
is rough on the poor man whose all

REGARD FOR THE LAW.

Ignorance Of the Law 10 no excuse

When Laws are so obnoxious as to
AFFORD excuses for noncompliance they
should be changed. aud the people
have this right III your right hand

be removed rather than the mutila
ton Of the member.
Our Tax Laws are distasteful and
detrimental. but the remedy should be
to amend them instead Of allowing
them to undermine the morals OF the
people by openly disregarding them.
The successful evasion Of one Law
may encourage the violation OF others
and In time breed a contempt for all
Laws.
While every citizen owes obedience
to the Laws, the Laws should be made
fair and equal to every citizen.
The Tax Laws are neither fair nor

dishonor and II for no other reason

Wait A Minute

There has been a lot said about
Pike Roads in Knox County, Ky.
which has come with an aspiri-
ing and denouncing nature, and
mostly from Office aspirants, and
for political purposes. 1t is true
that Knox County is somewhat
slow, but still she is ahead of
many of the counties in the State,
there are many counties that
have not sold their bonds yet.
Knox County has already con-
tracted some of its road and the
same is with the State Road COM
missioner for his approval; the
Fiscal court has secured one Mr..
Mcclure, Of Cumberland Cop,
Tennessee, as Chief Road Engi-
neer, who we believe, to be a
perfect gentleman, a splendid
road man, the one who built the
Government road from Middles-
b)ro to Cumberland Gap, across
Cumberland Mountain, and the
county has also employed Mr..
Thomas Hubbard, as County road
Engineer, they now have an en-
ginaering force, and we hope by
the 9Th day Of October, 1916, to
have the surveying plotted, and
a profile, ready for approval or
rejection of abaut II miles, the
line from Corbin to Bell County
line; and, just as soon as this is
done, this line will be ready to
advertise for construction. This
line runs through Knox County
and is on the Dixie Highway"
and if this is approved we will
have the work started within
four weeks.
1t is true the Fiscal Court has
had some trouble about the loca-
ton of its roads, but they are
now located so far as the Fiscal
Court is concerned, ard as soon
as the survey is completed from
Laural to Bell Counto. they will
complete the line from Clay to
Witty County: this work is pro
crossing as fast as it can under
the law. and no one has the au-
thority or right to condemn the
magistrates, or any member of
the Fiscal Court; each member
of the court has his rights. and
should stand by his honest con-
victions. regardless party infiu.
ences, or political trickery.
The question of a $500, 600, 90
indebtedness, and how to get a
hundred cents for every dolla
into the roads of the county is
not a childs job, and the citizens
instead of criticizing, should en-
courage the court and help them
arrive at a just conclusion.
The smoke will soon have clear
ed away, and the people will see
and realize who was mistaken;
and those who so insinuated and
brow beaten the court. will in
time understand all about the red
tape that is attached TO the road
law, and will know::something of
of trials and tribulations that the
court has to undergo and will
surely wake up. with open eyes,
and wait a minute.
