WEBER MALE
QUARTETTE
will Be The Fifth Redpath h.
Ceum Attraction At The
Tabernacle Tonight.

The Weber Male Quartette will be
the fifth Redpath Lyceum attraction
at the Tabernacle tonight. This or
ganization is in every sense a high
class organization, composed of four
of the well-knOwn concert and church
soloists of New York City. An assO-
ciation of several years in successful
concert and phonograph work has
resulted in the beautiful blending, the
clearneSs of enunciation, and the artis-
tic distinction which are the essentials
of a really satisfactory quartette. The
Weber Male Quartette is progressive
in adding to its repertory, and by its
versatility and genial bearing has
been unfaiingly successful wherever
it has appeared.
The personnel of the Weber Quar-
tette is likewise unique, in that each
man is a musician as well as a singer.
The quaftette is sufficient Ia itself for
the presentation of am entire enter
hinment and requires no outside
assistance for accompaniments on OBJ
lgatos.

TAX REFORM
BILL CERTAIN
House Committee FavOrS Meas
ure to Classify Property
Will Be Separate Act.

Louisville, KY, Jan. l9.-The house
committee on revenue and taxation
has attacked the problem of forming
bills for rev on and reformation of
Kentucky's system Of taxation ac-
cording TO the classification plan.
Chairman Perry informed the COM
mittee that Gov. Stanley desires to
pass the measure at this session, but
he does not want to introduce it until
several other measures included in the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1916-01-20

administration program have beer
acted upon by the general assembly.
The measures which he wants pu
ahead are the anti-pass bill, the anti
lobby bill, the antitrust bill and the
corrupt practices bill.
The discussion which followed the
election of Rep. Hutchcraft as secre.
tary revealed a unanimous sentiment
for bill to classify property under
the constitutional amendment and that
it should be offered as a separate
measure from other tax reform pro-
visions.
Later in the week subcommittee
of three members and the chairman
will be named to confer with a sub
committee from the senate in the act
ual drafting of the new tax law.
The senate committee on common
carriers and commerce decided to re-
port favorably the substitute offered
by Senator Stricklett for the anti-pass
bill offered by him last week. The
measure, which is drastic, is endors-
ed by Gov. Stanley.
Rep. Geo. L. Pickett, of Shelby
vile, announced his candidacy for the

There Seems To Be a Great
Desire To Play Ball
This Year.
AFTER A REST OF ONE YEAR
DR.. BaSSett Is Ready To Take
The Lead In The
Matter.

A meeting of Kitty league magnates
was to have been held here last Sum
day for the purpose of recognizing
for the coming season, but owing to
the bad weather and the enforced alb
sence from the city of DR.. Frank
Bassett, the recognized leader in the
movement and the unanimous choice
for president, it was called off and
will be held at some date in the near
future.
DR.. Bassett states that the outlook
for the Kitty being revived for the
coming season is unusually good. He
says Owensboro, Paducah, Cairo and
Hopkinsville are assured and it only
remains to secure two other towns to
complete six club circuit.
There seems to be some doubt
about Henderson setaining franchise.
No fears are felt but that some good
town can be secured in its place as
we'll as still another for the odd place.
Henderson will be given the oppor-
tunity to remain in the circuit.
Papers at Owensboro, Paducah and
Cairo are boosting strong for revival
of the Kitty this season, and from
every town comes the insistent- de-
mand that the league shall be run on
a strictly economical basis this time.
The fans all demand that the salary
limit for each club shall not exceed
$500 per month at the outside and tha
every club shall be held strictly tC
this. Many are in favor of allowing
each team to have only two old heads
on it and all the rest to be youngsters
who are more anxious for experience
and to build up a reputation than they
are for a salary. Also a stiff forfeit
to be put in real money instead OF
promises as has largely been the rule
heretofore, will be demanded of each
club in advance of the opening season
to insure not only that they will play
the season out but also that they will
conform to all rules and regulations,
especially that relating to salary limit
and employment of players.
Each town in the circuit already is
receiving inquiries from ambitious
young players who have gotten wind
OF the probable revival and are anXi.
GUS to break into professional circles
through the medium of the Kitty.
