NAVY IS STRONGER
THAN LAND FORCES
United States Makes Best Show
ing Upon the Sea.
MAJOR VESSELS NUMBER 226
Present Comparisons With Other Ma.
tions Difficult Because Of Secrecy
Maintained by Countries
at War.

OF the two branches of the armed
forces of the United States-the army
and the navy-the latter is by far the
more formidable when compared with
the armed forces of the other great
powers.
According to the latest records, the
American navy totals 1907 ,502 tons
displacement, taking into account both
ships built and building.
This tonnage compares with the
following for the great powers on July
l, 1914, or about three years ago:
Great Britain 2,7l3,756; Germany,
1,304,G40; France, S99,915; Japan, 699,-
DIG; Russia, 701 ,253; Italy, 497,S15,
and Austria-Hungary, 372,008.
In the period since then these great
powers all at war, have increased
their navieS by giant strides. They
naturally have kept their naval de-
| velOpments secret, but it is known, for
instance, that in the first two years of
the war Great Britain launched a new
navy fully equal in size to the whole
of the United States sea fighting
forces.
Exactly how the American navy
compares with others today is impoS-
sible for most experts to say. Perhaps
few secret-Service men in the employ
of the big fighting governments know,
but If they do they are keeping this
valuable information for their own ma
TONS purposes.
The number of officers and men In
the United States navy on July l,
1915, was 5S,039. This compared with
pre-war strengths on July /, 1914, of
15O,009 officers and men for Great Brit
ain; Germany, TO- 197; France, 63,S46 !;
Japan, 55,73S; Russia, 52,463; Italy,
1913, and Austria Hungary, 1881.
1t has been stated in newspaper dis
patches that the officers and men in
the British navy now number 100000,
and that a round million workers are
constantly employed in Great Britain
building new ships of war and repair
ing old ones. Less is known about
Germany'S naval strength as developed
under the stress of war, but she Is sup
posed to have between five hundred
and eight hundred new submarines in
commission.

1t is said that the legality OF
the occupation tax Is to be
tested by a Hickman merchant.
If the law should fail to hold
water, our streets viii get very
little attention during the pres
ent year. Some splendid and
much-needed improvement of
streets was carried out Last year
with the money derived from this
source; but with this revenue cut
off and the bond issue lost by a
few votes, the street improve
ment program doesn't look very
encouraging.

next Monday. This company
comes well recommended for
both dramatic and vaudeville
programs-Their opening bill will

" Virginia Fairfax" was excep-
tionally clever. Mr.. Fred Ham

In an uproar. The vaudeville
specialities are all good. The
musical Lasleys" are the hit of
the show. They are both artists,
and you seldom see an act like
this in the smaller towns. The
show is far above the average.

There still remains a big de-
ficit in the city ievee fund. The
committee raised about $3.50 a
mong the business men up town
and the county will probably aid
to the extent of about $3.50, leav-
ing a balance of about $500 due

view of the fact that this new
levee is the best In the Mississip-
pi valley and the great benefits
to be derived, we ought to make
a desperate effort to meet our
obligation promptly.

PROPOSED TAX Law
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

The great body of taxpayers of
the Kentucky Taxpayers League,
composed of farmers and real es-
tate owners, views with serious
concern the tax measures which
were framed by a special commit
tee appointed for that purpose,
which are now being considered
by the special session of the Legis-
lature. The proposed measures
east aside the uniform rule of
taxation provided for in our con-
stitution and proposes measures
exempting certain classes of prop.
erty from county and municipal
taxation altogether. The State
taking revenue from all our
property and yet depriving the
counties and cities from getting
sufficient revenue to run the To-
cal governments. As a matter Of
right and justice the State is
only entitled to about one-fourth
of the taxes collected for all pur-
poses, Yet the proposed measures
give the State the big end Of
the revenue, leaving the counties
and cities to take care of them
selves.
The county and city officials
will readily appreciate what this
means to their constituents. The
exemptions authorized by the
terms of the Special Tax Commit
tee Bills will Immediately create
large deficits In the county and
city revenue, which must be made
up by adding the deficit created,
to the tax burdens of real estate.
There Is no other way to get this
revenue, since the counties and
cities are not permitted to tax
the great bulk of intangible prop
erty in the State. The injustice
Is further illustrated where the
tax rate in some localities y very
high real estate bearing the full
rate of taxation, sometimes a.
much as $500; while intangible
property, in the form Of bonds,
notes, ETC., is allowed the low
rate of 40 cents, and money at
The rate of 10 cents ON the 800,
for taxation Thus it will be seen
under the proposed law, that some
classes of property viii be taxed
from seven to thirty times as high
as other classes of property in
the same locality.
The property bearing exemp-
lions under the proposed laws Is
largely that of the manufacturer
and the wealthy citizen; the
property bearing the full rate A.
taxation Is that Of the farmer
and the defenseleas poor proper-
ty owners of the cities and towns.

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.

An extra session of Congress
not later than June now is gener-
ally conceded among officials
here to be assured.
Although President Wilson has
not given any definite Indication
that he has finally abandoned his
hope that an extra session might
be avoided, there is an almost
unanimous sentiment among sena-
tors, representatives and officials
of the executive departments
that one must be called.

The theory Is illogical. and the truth
Of 1t has never been demonstrated. II
Is true that there are few lndivid-

and people call them talented. The
difference between the words talent
and latent is merely variation In the
location of the letters. The meaning
of the two words Is almost identical
The possession Of talent means the
possession Of some latent quality which
