TAX COMMISSION
TURNSDEAF EAR
TO TOBACCO MEN
ALL WEED IN STATE TO BE AS
sEssED At IS PER CENT
OF ITS VALUE.

Tobacco buyers and warehousemen
Of the state. especially those Of Ow-
ensboro and Lexington. are protest
ing vigorously against the manner in
which the county tax commissioner.
at the direction Of the state tax com
mission. are assessing tobacco. which
was purchased last year and Is now
being held in their warehouses. either
in hogsheads or loose. and many Of
the warehousemen ann larger buyers
are threatening TO store their pur-
chases in the future In other states.
unless some consideration Is given
their claims for the assessment Of
their property by the taxing authori-
ties.
Heretofore the owners and holders
Of tobacco in storage in the state
have been assessing only small qoan-
titles Of tobacco on hand. but last
year considerable increase was made
at the instigation Of the tax commits
sion. and in Daviess county this char
acter Of property was valued at
something like $500. 900. for taxa
ton purposes. The assessor assessed
1t for only seventy per cent Of its
value. but even then the tobacconists
were aroused to sntagonism against
the method Of assessing their proper
~ although IL was thought that large
quantities Of the weed was never
assessed for taxes.
Tsx Commission Acts.
Several weeks ago. the state tax
commission sent letters to the county
tax commissioners directing them TO
assess all tobacco held in the state,
and Clarence Westerheld. the coun-
~ tax commissioner for Daviess coun-
ty. made visit TO each Of the ware
houses In Daviess county and found
something like $4,000. 900 worth Of
the weed on storage. and AS assessing
II at eighty-fve per cent Of it's actual
value. as he Is endeavoring to assess
all tobacco at eighty five per cent Of
its value. warehousemen Of Louisville
and Lexington sent delegations to
Frankfort to appear before the tax
commission. and tobacco men Of Ow-
ensboro sent several protests TO the
commission. but the commission di-
rected that this character Of proper

as all other classes Of property paid
local rates Of taxation.
Keeping Close Tab.
Gates Young. assistant to the tax
commission. who has supervision Of
the field agents for the commission.
stated yesterday that the c,unty tax
commissioners should hnd something
like eighty million dollars worth OF
tobacco In the state. and that in his
Investigations he had found that only
about twenty per cent Of this char
aeter Of property had been assessed
for taxation heretofore. and that on
iy at about ten per cent Of It's value.
In Fayette county he found that last
year tobacco was assessed at $50 a
hogshead in many cases, when its
real value was near $500 per hogs
head. Mr.. Young stated that he was
keeping a close tabulation ON the as
sessment Of tobacco in every county

commissioners were going to assess
tobacco at eighty-hve per cent Of its
actual value, and that the assessment

GUARDS IN A MIx.UP.

Clash Left to Diplomatic Settlemehti
Negotiations Being Entered Into.
New York.-In a clash on November
% between the armed navy guard OF
the American steamship Monterey and
Mexicans customs guards at Tampico,
one Mexican, said to have been cap
tains, was killed, Mexican soldier
MORALLY wounded and chief gunner's
mate, named Barry, in charge of the
American guard, less seriously hurt.
This was learned Sunday with the
steamers arrival here from Havana
and Nassau, where she touched after
leaving Tampico. '.t
Members of the armed guard ana
officers Of the ship refused to dis
cuss the incident, but details were
learned from passengers ON board at
the time. According to them, the tight
occurred shortly after 3 a. m, after
members of the navy guard went to
the rescue Of Berry, who had been at
tackled. The Americans at first re-
sponded to the call without arms, but,
upon the Mexicans opening fire, they
secured their weapons and responded
In kind.

COOPERATION IN PALESTINE
Three Thousand Jews Have Success
fully Combined to Fight the
High Cost Of Living.

It Ia, therefore, with the keenest
pleasure that hear Of the success Of
an experiment on q small scale un-
der war conditions IN Palestine, Nor
man Hapgood writes in Leslie's. Since
1914 scarcity. disease, deprecated
currency, have combined to reduce the
Jewish workers almost to starvation.
During the war small group decided
to take the most immediate and effec-
tive step. About three years ago $50
workers formed a cooperative So
ciety In order to fight against the
rise In prices. Each worker contrib
uted 10 francs and with this capital
Of $500 francs the society began to
make its purchases. As a result the
members Of the society were able to
purchase four times cheaper than the
ordinary public. This cooperation so
ciety "Mashbir," embraces at pres
emit about 5000 persons and has a
budget Of 1900 francs. Their first
year Of business showed a profit. Dur
ing the second year robbery and
plumber by the Turks changed this
profit into loss. The third year has
now shown them again paying their
way. This society includes not only
workmen, but also teachers and clerks.
1t has applied to the commission for
credit of 10000 francs and for au-
thorization for one of their group to
travel to Egypt to make purchases.
1t is, indeed, on small scale COM
pared with the business I cited on
July 6, but the lesson is the same :
The strongest single answer to the
cost Of living lies in cooperation.

Hawaii Escapes Ravaees Of Flu

Honolulu, T. H.-(By MaiD-
Hawaii thus far has entirely escaped
the Spanish influenza, which has been
epidemic over most Of the world. With
reports Of the ravages Of the disease
reaching here from both sides of the
Pacific, the states and Japan and 81
IBERIA, every precaution was taken to
keep it out of the islands. A number
Of trans-Pacific liners with the influ-
enza on board were held in close quar-
antine while in port, although few
critical cases were taken to local hos
pitfalls and large number of the crew
of a japanese liner were treated here
until they recovered.
An epidemic was particularly dread
ed here because of the high mortality 1t
undoubtedly would have caused among
the native Hawaiians, who are pecu-
liarly susceptible to influenza and re-
lated diseases.

New York.-The Bolsheviki are try
Ing to raise an army of 100000 to
put down the conservative element in
Russia, whom they term imperialists.
Captain Platon Oustinoff, formerly of
the second life Hussars, and who left
Petrograd October 80, declared on his
his arrival hereon December 16 on the
Stockholm.
A veteran Of the Russian invasion Of
East Prussia early in the war, when he
was wounded three times, the son of
the Russian consul general at New
York, Captain Oustinoff said that the
government had forbidden citizens to
leave the country, and he was able to
depart only because he was classed as
an invalid. Executions by the Boil
sheviki were daily occurrance, he
stated, and thousands of conservatives
were held by the radicals as hostages,
so as to provide victims of revenge in
case officials were killed. After the
recent Staying of minister of the in

Food is so scarce, the captain said,

pound and black bread for twelve
rubles the loaf, when it can be OBJ

Anniversaries
We are nearing the tail-end of the
year, nearing the busting and frosty
(for some of us) season which, be-
cause two of them happen to fall
always exactly one week apart, we
call the holidays.
For some of US 1t will be the sec
ond holiday season in France. For
most of US it will be the first. Some
of us will look back to last Christmas
and glimpse a cinder-foored Adrian
barracks or q blessed trick at X. p.
among the snowy Vosges, but on an
equally snowy table-cloth-snowy,
that Is, insofar as mortal eye could
see It under the load of good things
and on the home fires burning
within sight.
The holidays will come again, the
same holidays. the same anniyers-
aries. But when we 60 home there
will be other anniversaries-the day
we landed, the day we entered the
line, the day we won the DISC, the
day we were wounded, or made cor
porals, or left the hospital. Among
all of these there will be some one
day that will stand out above all the
others. It will be a different day
for every man, so far as 365 can be
divided into 100000. And every
one will observe it for different
reason.

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL Fiber
ooubters Declared Saving Sta
pies Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port Of War by Conserving fer
the Benefit Of ths
Allies. M

When figures began to show def
lnitely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that It was com
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton of staple necessities, but that It
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease In the use of
iuxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example. and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption OF sugar down to point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
tons will be able to 60 farther afleld
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now In prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption If the
present short rations In Europe are
not materially increased. If the Eu-
ropean ration Is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tinued restriction to greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration Is In Itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity. until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that In July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 995, 900 tons were
distributed Normal consumption for
that period Is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite, concrete saving Of
over 6OO,OOO tons. These ngureS ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, In
the kitchen and In the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that In
the homes and public eating places Of
America, where 20 per cent. Of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
0ne-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution In August only 225,0O0
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed 10000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons In October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup.
port Of the war.

When Demand Was Shown

CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.

In line with the general plan Of con-
servation formulated by the o. 3. FOOD
Administration Immediately following
the entrance Of the United States Into
the war the contribution made By the
meat producers Of this country to the
war program 10 of particular signin-
canoe, as It demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Al
ministration by the m Eat producers Of
the country. y
According to reports OF the U. ..
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle of 10,23S,O 1000 head
and 12,441 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January last. In the same
period there was a decrease Of $4,000
head Of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa- "
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year Ago, with an increase In
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase In hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring of. 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,6O00O0,OOO pounds
more Of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903, 900 pounds,
while for the same months Of 1918 the
production was 1,277, $500 pounds,
an increase Of over 374, 900, 900 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period In 1917 In
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1,2e3, 100000 pounds as
against 1.454, 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
1, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands Of the mill
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation Of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
1t has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on US for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats,
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply Its deficien-
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy, demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.
