What is one man S misfortune is an
other man s gain and this is shown
pretty well in the potato situation. Not
only has there been small crop in
many potato producing states, but just
now prevents eastern and northern
farmers from opening their potato eel
lars. The result is continued scarcity
with higher prices. It is estimated there
are 1900 cars of potatoes in Oregon in
the hands of farmers.
Eggs are up cent, with a differen-
tal of three cents locally between cash
and trade prices.

Thou Reasonest Well.

Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, of Lex
ington, in an open letter to Reuben
B. Hutchcraft of the Kentucky Tax
Commission, answers the latter's in
vitation (extended to all the women
of the state) to interest herself in the
matter of tax reform.
Mrs. Breckenridge calls attention
to the fact that it is exceedingly in
consistent that a man who is willing
to deny Kentucky women representa-
ton in the body which frames tax
laws should be the one to point to
these same women their vital interest
in the states taxation" Neverthe-
less Mrs. Breckenridge assures Mr..
Hutchcraft that she is interested in
the question since it gives her heart
to hope "that after a while, however
far behind the progressive states of
the Union the men of Kentucky must
now be, they will also wake up to an
even more fundamental principle of
Justice and of taxation, than that of
the classification of property" The
reference is to the principle that "taN-
