The Dear Farmer

Just how much the new taxing law
will do to the farmer and real estate
owners is easily shown by what it will
! do for them.
For the purpose of taxation, prop
erty in the State is divided, and sub
| divided into several classes, each class
paying different rate of taxation.
| Cash in banks pays one tenth of
one per cent tax to the State and is
taxed no further for any purpose
whatever.
Cash in hand pays forty cents on
the hundred, and is excused from all
other taxation.
Stocks, bonds, notes machinery
and products of manufacturers in
course of manufacturing, will pay to
the State forty cents on the hundred
and that is the end of all taxation
! in any way, shape, form or fashion
whatever to them.
But farmers and real estate owners
catch it, going and coming and stand
ing still. They pay their forty cents
on the hundred dollars, and are then
subject to all raises in taxation that
the Frankfort State Taxing Board
chooses to subject them to. They can
be raised just as much and just as Of
ten as this Board orders them to be
taxed and raised, and raised and tax
ed. In addition to all this they can be
taxed for all sorts and forms of coun-
ty municipal, school and other dis
trict-taXation i'm which they have a
taxable situs. There is no escape for
farmers and real estate owners from
any form of taxation.
God bless the farmer and real es-
tate owner! What they have cannot
be hidden or sworn out of sight. Stick
it to 'em. They are public meat. Let
everybody eat 'em and pick their
bones clean.
Why not avoid this rank and dam
nable injustice by amending the pres
ent taxing law so that whisky can
be taxed five cents on the gallon,
coal one cent on the bushel, abolish
all useless officials-and let it go at
that?
The Times is not opposed to an ex-
ira session of the legislature, but il
is against taxing one class to favor
another one, and it everlastingly de-
nounces any form of taxation based
on favoritism to anybody.
What do the farmers and real es-
tate men of Kentucky propose to do
about it? 1t is up to them good and
strong and a-plenty.

Not only is Mr.. Conolly a theoreti-
cal gardener, but he frequently picks
up the garden tools of the person

best methods Of using them.
The chairman OF judges recommends
to contestants that IL they have not
obtained garden charts, furnished by
The Times, it will be a good plan TO
get them at once.
"The fact that the net income from
the garden is to be given great con-
sideration," said Mr. Connolly, "will
place the rich man and the poor gar.
dener on a common basis. The man
who has expended great sums on his
plot will have no better change than
the man who has given his own time

Third Regiment. District National Guard.
Captain Beckstein. who is in charge OF
the one station at In Pennsylvania ave-

or tomorrow. and the new depots may
be opened on Monday.
There has been no intimation so far
as to where the stations are to me. Va

by patriotic Washingtonians. probably
will be used.
There were several substations around
the city before. but it was found that
their existence was in violation OF GER
tain War Department regulations. and all
except the one in Pennsylvania avenue
were closed. Later the dire need OF
recruits for the Third induced the army
to waive rules and allow Col. Glendie

Most of the twenty-five hundred
rockies at the Officers Reserve Corps

evening to get a well-earned rest
after flve days OF strenuous labor.
Saturday is always a half-holiday

Of fifteen unfortunates, who have to
stay, for guard duty. everyone who
applied has been given a furlough

Few of the embryo officers came
into town early in the afternoon. The
Second Cavalry is giving a drill this
afternoon for their benefit and every
one who could be accommodated in
the drill hall stayed>over for the prac-
tice. Secretary OF War Baker and
several other high officials went out
to the camp for the drill, but because
OF insufficient space no passes were

Final arrangements for the settle
ment Of The Times Garden contest
were completed today.
First, judging of the gardens will
be made between June 10 and
June 20.
A second inspection OF crops will
be between September 10 and Sep
tember 20.
H. N ConoIly, Department of Agri-
culture demonstrator. in charge OF
local extension work in home gar
dens, has been selected to head the
judging committee. Three experts
from the Department OF Agriculture,
Bureau of Plant Industry, will assist
in the judging.
1t is probable that the judges who
view the gardens on the first occa-
sion will not be the same as those
who make the second and final in
spection. The experts in the city at
the time the judgings will take place
will offciate.
Factors In Contest.
General appearance OF the garden,
the record kept, and the net income
derived will be important factors in
the selection of the winners OF the
contest.
AL entries for the contest must
have been received at The Times

STRIKE RUMOR
AT CITY HALL

Yelled threats that city en-
ployes might go on strike IL their
demands for increased salaries
are not acted upon by the council
were heard at the city hall Tues
day.
The Municipal Civil Service
league, recently organized among
the employees, has called a special
session for May 3. Although Of
ficers of the league deny that
there is any intention of striking,
they admitted Tuesday that the
meeting was called for the pur-
pose of creating pressure against
the city council.
Although all councilmen have
expressed themselves as favoring
increases, they assert that the
budget system of municipal ac-
counting prevents any such action
until next year.
