Humanity demands that the starving

faced with starvation they cannot es-

new AMENDMENTS
TO TAX LAW ASKED.
FIRST REPORT eoF STATE COM.
MISSION MADE TO Gov
ERNoR STANLEY.
MANY SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE
Property Loss From Fires In State for
Year Just Ended Shows Increase of
Nearly $2,ooo,ooo More Than the
Year Previods.

Frankfort.
Figures showing the first years as
sessments and revenues under the new
state taxing laws, and the lowest and
highest possible returns for the state,
together with many Suggestions for
the betterment Of state taxing condi.
tions, are found in the first report of
the new State Tax Commission, of
which former Attorney General Logan,
Is chairman, and r. L. Greene and j..
l.. Scott are members. The report is
made to Governor Stanley.
Fourteen recommendations for
amendments to the tax laws are con.
tanned in the report, and the commits.
sion points out the wisdom of divorc-
ing the assessors office from politics.
II Is stated that the Office of assessor
should be filed by person who would
be kept in Office so long as he could
be Induced to serve, In the event he
proved thoroughly competent, instead
of stipulatlng that an assessor can not
succeed himself. The recommenda.
tions touch upon various phases of the
work Of county assessors and the work
OF assessing, and urges that the com.
mission be provided with an appro.
prlation sufficient to enable it to do its
best work.
The report indicates that from the
new sources the state revenue for 1918
viii amount to exactly $1,142,SS6.S4,
divided as follows: Tax on bank de-
posits, $179,147.91; tax on building and
loan associations, s19,35192; oil pro
duction tax, se5,1SGS9; whisky tax,
$B5o,O0O; beer tax, $51,11772; race.

Continuing. 1t is shown that the an
.nual deficit now averages 100000.
With the loss in revenue. 1t is stated,
the deficiency this year is $2,6OO,OOO,
and It is thus necessary to have an in
crease in the assessed value Of the
state to raise that sum. The maxi
mum increase for the first year, 1t is
said, is $2,S43,OOO.
The value of taxable property is
placed at not less than S3,50O,O 900,
assessed at a little more than 81 l,0O0,-
100000. Under the law 100 per cent
assessment is required in uniformity.
Many counties. though, list much low.
err real estate ranging as low as 30
per cent of actual values. Likewise,
the same discrepancy exists in listing
by individuals. The one aim is to give
everyone a square deal, assessing prop
erty as business matter, and with
out regard to politics.

one arm anu OasA. led in
a corner with a tangled masA of
yarn in her lap, the wreck ofthe
sweater she had tried to make, '
crying her eyes out. You think
Of this; can't.
But Thelma is a brave, deter
mined little soul. She was bound
she just would make something
for the army. She found out
that the army occasionally wssh-
ed its face, and that people sent
it wash rags. {
A sweater is a complicated
thing, but a wash rag is just a
nice little square with 40 arms or
collar or neck opening. Thelma
put a knitting needle back under
the stump OF her right arm and
went to work again. And final
ly she made a wash rag. And it
was a perfectly good wash rag,
too, and she sent 1t u ,he army.

ing to be a clean army. Little
one-armed Thelma Malone is 60
ing to see to that.
Dear little Thelma Malone! If
| ever catch the army washing
its face with one of her wash
rags I'll have it marched right
/, out and stood against q stone wall
; and shot before runrise. For
every regiment that gets one OF
l. Thelma's wash rags ought to tD
it and mount it on staff
=. carry it alongside the regimSe I'd
h colors into every battle. Az
!. every soldier who had heard th'
e story of little Thelma would cheer
e fully die before he let a Hun la!

It Because into each humble wasl

most wonderful-it it was the low,
that would not be denied. An,
