gTessive candidate. The committee
would have no right to make any
such promises even if they had the
power, or even if they had any in
formation as to what Mr.. Hughes
stands Tor, which they have not. So
far as the committee is concerned
we take the position we have always
taken that the, candidate must repre-
sent the issue OF preparedness anO
must be in real sympathy with the
Progressive platform declarations
outlined in the Jan. II statement.
I'VE would be very glad to know
what Justice Hughes thinks on these
subjects, but unless we know soon
we cannot be expected to give much
consideration to his candidacy. We
are willing to be fair and are anxious
for harmony. We will consider any
proposition or any candidate the Re
pubicans have to Offer but there
must be something specific. We can't
be expected to leap in the dark"
The fact is, the Progressive lead
ers are standing pat. They doubt ii
anybody can be suggested who is as
available as Roosevelt for a Joint
candidate, but if any one can be sdg-
gested who fits the issues and prom
ises to get as many votes, they are
willing to accept him. Hughes, in
their opinion, has not yet qualified
in that class.

Devoid of Equity.

"When one has carefully read the
bill he will not ask the question why it
was not introduced sooner. Such a
bill, if it passed at all, can only pass
during the last hours of the session,
when it cannot be scrutinzed.
THE general purpose of the bill is
to have money which is invested in
mortgages escape the greater part of
taxation which is levied upon other
classes of property.
''lf | remember correctly the rate of
taxation in the City of Louisville is
$3.50 on each 500 Of property assessed.
In addition to that $3.50 the county i'm
poses tax upon the same property of
about fifty cents on each 800; and in
addition to that the State imposes
tax of fifty cents on each 500. am
inclined to the opinion that, in addi-
tion to the municipal, county ana State
tax there are some special taxes, but
not being sure OF this, | shall treat the
subject as if those three separate
taxes were the only taxes levied.
There fore, the holder of real estate in
the city of Louisville must pay mu-
niclpal tax of $3.50, a county tax of
fifty cents and a state tax of fifty
cents, making all told a tax rate of
81 so on each 800 Of taxible property.

DEFENSE BILL
REACHES HOUSE
Hay Measure Provides For
100000 Men.
PROGRESS IN ARMY PROGRAM

viii Probably Be Debated Upon Mex,
Week and Passed Substantially as
MISUNDERSTANDING on the Naval
Bill Are Continued.
Washington, March The first OF
the national defense bills providing
for the increase of the regular army
and the expansion of the militia sys-
TEN, was reported to the house by
Representative Hay.
The Hay bill comes in the wake of
the measure practically agreed upon
by the senate military affairs commit
tee, which was introduced by Senator
Chamberlain.
The house bill provides for a regu-
lar army with peace strength of
100000 men, and a war strength Of
10000 an increase of 10000 men and
7,439 officers. The bill drafted by the
senate committee provides for a reg
ular army with a peace strength of
17S,O00 men and war footing Of $780,
900 men.
BY providing for the gathering up
of all men who have served with the
regular army or who have received
military training in one form or an
other and adding them to the regular
army and militia forces, Mr.. Hay esti-
mates that on the enactment of the
house bill there will be at once avail.
able for defense 1,324,700 men.
Like the same senate measure the
house bill provides for the expansion
and reorganization of the national
guard as defense force. The cost of
the house committees plan when
carried out, is estimated at s141,704,-
SAG, an increase of approximately $46.-
100000 of the regular army estimates
for the fiscal year 1917. The estimated
cost of the plan for the first year is
$11e,O0O.OOO and at the end Of the
fifth year $137,000,OO0.
With the presentation of the army
bill to the house the administration is
able to report progress on its defense
program. The army measure will
come up for debate next week. AS II
is backed by a unanimous report by
the committee it probably will be
passed substantially as submitted. In
the meantime hearings on the naval
bill continue with prospects that the
budget will be reported early in April
The leaders expect that the entire
defense program which is being origi-
mated in the house, will be before the
house on or about May 1. The house
will then seriously give attention to
a revenue bill to gain the needed funds
to give force to the defense program.

Gives Lender Advantage.

THE bill which is now proposed in
the dying hours of the Legislature I'M
dertakes to exempt mortgage loans of
all taxation except fifty cents on each
800. If the bill should pass then the
owner of real estate in the city of Lou
isville would pay ~ so tax, while the
owner of the money lent upon real
estate would pay only fifty cents. a
difference of 81. 80 in favor Of the money
lender as against the real estate own
err. But that is not all. Under the
last two lines Of Section 6 the money
lent upon real estate mortgage would
pay tax for only one year and there
after would pay no tax at all.
''lf this bill should pass, the money
lender would be enabled to lend money
on real estate mortgage for fifteen
years; he would pay tax at the rate
of fifty cents on each 500 for the first
year; and during the remaining four
teen years would pay no tax at all.
RAILROAD companies frequently Is
sue mortgage bond for fifty years, and
the bonds so given would pay this
small rate Of taxation for one year
only and would not pay any tax what.
ever during the remaining forty, nine
years they would run.

Burden on Taxpayers.

81 venture the opinion, without in,
vestlgation, that no county in the
State of Kentucky has county rate of
taxation less than fifty cents. In that
event the general taxpayer living in
the State would pay every year at the
rate of not less than 81 on his farm and
livestock, while the money lender. I'M
der this bill, would pay that for only
one year during the life OF the loan.
Another provision OF the bill places
thu collection of this tax with the
County Court Clerk, and takes it out of
the hands Of the Sheriff. The Sherlffs
office is not worth too much as it is,
and the passage of this bill would
make 1T worth less.
I'm my opinion, if this bill should
become law the railroads and great
corporations which have taxable out
standing mortgage bonds upon their
property would take advantage of the
provisions of this bill and retire the
taxable bonds, and replace them with
mortgage bonds contemplated in this
bill, which would be taxable at the
small rate of 50 cents for the first year,
and would thereafter be untaxabe.
"The bill is vilanous; and | trust
that each and every member of the
Legislature will see to it that it is de
teatcd. Very truly yours,
BEN JOHNSON"

Asserts Bill Unjust.

1.-The authors of the proposed bill
lay claim to the fallacy that the bill
will DO away with double taxation.
That may be Il ue, out it would not do
away with it equitably and justly. For
instance: Under the present law in
Kentucky If man owns a farm worth
s., 900 and has it mortgaged for 81, 500,
the farmer pays taxes on the entire
$1,000, and the holder of the mortgage
is supposed to pay tax on the 80, 500
which is lent upon the farm. In this
way there is double taxation on the
$4,000. The farmer pays it in one in
stance and the lender of the money
pays it in the other.
This bill prop oses to do away with
the double taxation by leaving the
farmer to pay tax upon the 81. 500 which
he has borrowed, and permits the
money lender to escape the payment of
almost no tax upon the money which
be owns, and which he has lent upon
the farm. If the proponents Of this
measure really intend to do away with
the double taxation, the farmer should
be required only to pay tax on the value
of his farm, minus the mortgage in
debtedness which is upon it: and then
the man holding the mortgage should
pay the same rate of taxation on the
other $4,000 which he, in this indirect
way, has invested in the farm.
