please large part of the people, who
believe that the trouble is not so much
with the system of taxation, as it is
with useless extravaganza and expen-
ditures in conduct of state affairs,
which necessitate collection of the
maximum amount of taxes obtainable
to support the state government.
Most of the daily papers want the
special session called and the law
passed. The big dailies, however, often
reflect largely the sentiment of the
moneyed interests of the cities, who
conceal as much Of their property
from taxation now as is possible, and
are certainly not desiring the enact
ment of any law that will compel them
to pay more taxes. On the other hand,
with their wealth concealed largely in
stocks, bonds, notes and other prop
erty that is difficult for an assessor
to find, they naturally prefer to see
farming lands, livestock and property
which cannot be hidden from the tax
ing authorities, bear the major por-
ton of the support of the govern
ment.
All this talk about a new tax law
bringing property such as stocks,
! bonds, notes ETC. tout of hiding for
taxation, may sound good to some
people, but the owners of these same
stocks, bonds, notes, etc, are the prin-
cipal ones who are asking for a new
tax law, and just how their health
will improve by tax payments on what
many Of them right at present hav;
safely hidden away, is hard for a ru-
raj rooster back here sin the bushes"
to see. May be; may be not. Anyway,
while the big dailies; and the big COM
mercial organizations of the cities
representing largely stock and bond
owners are urging the special session
and the new tax law, it might be well
to notice what some of the country
papers, representing farmers, land
owners and live stock men, who can
not hide their property from any sort
of taxation think of the proposition.
The News published at Shelbyville, in
one of the biggest and most prosper
Gus farming counties of Kenucky,
takes slightly different view of the
situation from the city dailies. In a
recent issue it said of the matter
The Tax Commission composed of
three Senators and four Representa-
tives, appointed by Gov. Stanley as
the result of joint resolution passed
by the last General Assembly, has
completed its work and has placed
before the Governor three bills seek
ing to change the tax laws of the
State, the adoption of which is urged
at the earliest possible date.
The first of the three measures
creates a permanent State Tax Com
mission of three members to sit con-
tinously and draw salaries of $4,000
each annually. 1t provides for assist
ants and travelling expenses not to
exceed $4,000 annually. Other in
cidentals including equipment of Of
fices, stationery, printing, etc., will
easily add another $4,000, which
will bring the total cost to the State
of $4,000 to $4,000 annually. The
members of the commission are ap
pointed by the Governor and can be

mortgages subject only to the State
tax, except mortgages for longer than
three years will be subject to re-
cording tax of 25c on the 500. Re-
quires banks or trust companies to
record transfer of notes or bonds and
provides fine and Imprisonment for
failure.
The third bill provides for a State
tax of 1Oc on each 500 of bank de-
posts and relieves deposits of all
county and city taxes. Requires banks
to furnish names of depositors and
amount on deposits to credit of each
on Sept. LIST.
The second and third bills will re-
quire time to study out their provis-
ions and the probable effect of the
changes. The first bill creating the
commission is certain to arouse strong
opposition. Before the new laws can
become effective they must be passed
by the General Assembly in special
or regular session.

Do We Want A Special
Legislative Session and
A New Tax Law

The Chambers of Commerce OF
Lexington and Louisville, as well as
many of the big manufacturers and
property owners of those cities are
urging the governor to call the legis-
lature in special session, to adopt a
new tax law for Kentucky. Not being
an expert on taxation, the |. j. is
not prepared to say, but special
session of the legislature is bound to

whether new tax law will be worth

NoteboOm In The City Saturday

County Superintendent Ernest N.
NOteboom, of Selby, was in the city
Saturday. on business in connection
With his office. Mr.. NOteboom is one
of the most diligent expOnents Of edu-
cation in this county, and is very in
innate with the needs and DEFICIENCIES
of our present system Of training
children. He is recognized as one of
the most prominent educators In this
part of the state, and as an authority
on our present school system In the
northwest. Education is the basis and
foundation upon which all mankind
builds, and practically all our present
day education is received In the public
schools. 1t has been proven a potent
fact that Walworth county was fortu-
nate, indeed, to have man of Note
booms education integrity and char
acter elected to the office he now fills.
His enthusiasm premeats the entire
fabric of the schools to the distinct
advantage of the young folks of this
county and city.

Logical Site Would
Be At MObrid9e

Washington, May IS.-The desirable
| ity of establishing a government nj
trate plant, authorized in the army re-
Organization bill, on the Missouri river,
was urged upon President Wilson to-
day by delegation composed of Sen
atOrs f. $. Johnson and Thomas Ster-
| ling and Representatives Harry l..
Candy and c. H. Dillon, of South Da-
kota. In n statement to the president,
senator Johnson said power posSibil-
| ties on the Missouri river were con
| fined TO two sites on the Little Bend
and the Big Bend. Little Bend is in
Sullv county, 35 miles northwest Of
Pierre. The bend is 10 miles long and
there is a fall of Is feet in that dis
| tance. but it is possible to construct a
dam as feet high there, and to develop
41,000 horsepower on the smallest
recorded flow Of the river
Big Bend is in Lyman county. so
miles southeast of Pierre, and is 26
miles around. 1t was stated that the
construction of a hydroelectro plant
there would be more expensive than
at Little Bend, althO the reservoir
would be larger and the power possibil-
tiles greater.
President Wilson made no definite
promise. He said, however, that every
consideration would be given the sug-
gestions maze by the South Dakota
delegation
Mobridge, would be much more log
iCal place to establish the above men,
| toned plant, as one located here would
enjoy the direct benifts of transcontin-
entail railroad; which is great asset in
time of war.
The difficulties to be overcome at the
Bib and Little Bend are far more mum
erous than at this point.
Directly north of Mobridge, the river
turns and sweeps to the west, gradually
swinging east, thus forming large
bend. Inside that bend is where. Mo-
| bridge is located. The work necessary
to put flume across the narrowest part
| is not great as two creeks, one flowing
north and one south, lie with their head
waters only about two miles apart.
A competent engineer stated that at
least 40, 600 II. p. could be developed at
very nominal outlay and not interfer
with the river.

basic? These words are not in the
working agreement of Manufacturing
employees Why don't the trainmen
make clean cut demand for an ac-
tual EIGHT HOUR WORK DAY?
The railroad Tainmen constitute
1870 of all railroad employees and the
trainmen now receive 2Sh of ali wag-
es paid to all railway employees. The
average wages of all railway train
men is now nearly double the average
annual wages of the balance of the
railway employees.
Suppose the railroads were all in a
position to grant an increase in wages.
would it be fair to the balance of the
employees to grant $3.50 increase to
the trainmen who are now the highest
paid great class of workmen in the
country.
There are in the United States ap-
proximately 100000 railway trainmen
$1300.00 per year (including firemen
and brakemen who are really appren-
tices and are not skilled laborers) and
there are 100000 stockholders who
are receiving on an average less than
three percent interest or dividends on
the money they have invested in rail.

article, at its regular rates. no charge

heretofore, have been contributed to
their cause because we believe that an
eight-hour day is long enough for any
man to work.
The News regrets that the public is
drawn into this matter. as the men
and the railroad company are both bit
ter on the question. and favors shown
either side by the press. bring down
the wrath of the opposite faction.
If there is any one thing which the
American people admire more than
anything else it is candOr and dis
position to be fair, and if there is any
one thing which they detest it is dis
position to try to fool the public.
1t is plain to be seen that there Is
a decided lack of candor and every
evident disposition to be unfair, in
the statement edited by the Trainmen
brotherhoods, which appeared in re-
cent issue of a local paper and from
which the following is quoted:
The following statement was is.

BrOtherhoods.
Opponents of the eight-hour day
movement for railway freight train
crews are attempting to make capital
out Of the statement that 35 percent
