NO COLLECTIONS OF
DOG PENALTIES YET
IMPOSSIBLE FOR ASSESSOR Will
LtAMs TO BEGIN FOR A FEW
WEEKS.

1t will probably be several days,
maybe two or three weeks, before Tax
Assessor Williams begins the collec-
ton of the dog tax levied by the
Clarke Mcfarland act. Mr.. Williams
has ordered the tags necessary but it
will be some time before they are re-
ceived and in the meantime he is de-
voting all of his efforts to listing the
owners, to making his assessments
and to aiding Attorney Coffey in ascer-
tanning the true value of the property
of the county. Mr., Williams is about
the busiest man in the county these
days. The legislature gave him more
extra work than any other official in
the county and it is all to be done
within limited time. The dog tax
law is already in effect, becoming eff
fective last month, but it is impossi-
BILE to begin the enforcement of it's
penalties for time yet. Mr.. Williams
is trying to do this additional work,
to attend the hearings before Attorney
Coffey and also carry on the usual
routine of his Office, all at the same
time.

LUXURY TAXES ARE GENERALLY
PAID WITHOUT ANY COMPLAINT

Luxury taxes now in effect for three
day. are generally being paid cheer
fully and without the slightest COM
plant. The dry goods stores report
that customers interpose no objection
to the payment of the luxury taxes
They amount to very little and are
no trouble to collect, but after they
are collected the trouble begins. For
the amount involved there is more
bookkeeping, more reporting and more
work required than for any tax ever
devised and for this reason the tax is
not popular with the merchants.
The soda water people are really
getting the "hot end of the taxes be-
cause there it applies to most every
drink The same thing is true of the
toilet articles and other similar luxu-

TAKING OF PROOF ON
VALUE OF TAXABLE
PROPERTY A[ARS END
WIDE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE VIEWS OF MANY OF
Fs WITNESSES. t
PERSONAL VALUES ARE HIGHEST
Generally Agreed That It Is Assess.
ed More Nearly According to the
Standards of the Law Than Is the
Real Estate of County.
Saturdays Daily Herald. J

ADatuIudy Ddly f1eTalQ.)
Taking of testimony to prove the
value Of the taxable property of Maui
ry county has been practically finish
ed by John Shelby Coffey, the attor-
ney for the state board Of tax assess
ors. This morning a number of rep
resentatives of the phosphate con-
Germs of the county were examined
and few more dispositions will be
taen before the hearing is closed.
Summarized by Attorney Coffey the
situation in the county is about this:
Real estate, particularly farm lands,
are assessed less in proportion to their
real value, or taxable value under the
standard fixed by the law, than is any
other class of property Several of
the farmers who appeared before the
attorney made oath that practically all
of the personal property in their dis
ticts was returned for taxation and
was practically assessed at its full
salable value. On the other hand
farm lands, according to the bulk of
the proof, are assessed at from forty
five to fifty per cent of their saleable
value.
On Friday number of bankers and
business men were before the attorney
and their testimony was very interest
ing and very intelligent. They denied
that land values were inflated any
more than any other values. They
said that lands had not appreciated
proportionately any more than their
products and their rise in value was
inevitable and necessarily followed
the diminishing purchasing power Of
the dollar. 1t was generally agreed
by all the witnesses with few excep-
tons that personal property was more
heavily hit than other classes of prop
erty. Several farmers who testified
expressed the opinion that the farmers
came very near returning all of their
personal property at its actual value
than perhaps any other class of tax
payers.
There was quite divergence in the
proof, as some of the witnesses from
the country insisted that the farm
lands, in comparison with their produc-
tive power, would not be worth much
more than they were assessed for tax
alton.

saturdays Daily Herald.)

Through the real estate agency of
.Hendley. Thomas & Hendley, the old
McGaw home with six acres Of land,
on the Campbellsville pike was this
morning sold to Mrs. Virginia Lamb,
of the home service section of the
Red Cross. The consideration was
$4,000. The entire place of fifty-four
acres and had been purchased the day
before by ]. B. Lowell from Bradley

ries that are generally sold in drug
and department stores because there
the tax likewist applies regardless of
the price.
The soft drink people have noticed
little difference in their trade, nj.
though it was expected that there
would be at first some decline because
people must become accustomed to
new tax before they readily pay It.
Aside from the extra work involved
they have no complaint. The tax on
drinks and toilet articles, and patent
and proprietary medicines will bring
in a pretty healthy sum in Columbia
although no attempt is made to esti-
mate the amount. The small tax on
mems and women's wearables will
produce negligible sum,

GASOLINE BACK AT
LOFTY PRICE HEIGHT

Gasoline that tumbled few weeks

has steadily mounted the price ladder
until it is once again at the lofty emf
nence from which it plunged. In 9TH
er words the motive power for the
1900 automobiles in the county is
costing now at retail thirty cents a
gallon, just the price when it was at
the pinnacle. Whether it will rise still
higher. as was the case with hogs, is
not known.
