POWER OF STATE
TAX COMMISSION
TO Be TESTED
Lyon County Sues to Force Approval
Of Assessment for 19l9-Man-
damus Is Asked.

Frankfort, KY, June 12.-Lyon
county, in a petition field in the name
Of c. C. Molloy, County Attorney,
brought suit in the Franklin Circuit
Court for writ of mandamus to COM
pei the State Tax Commission to ap-
prove the work of the Lyon County
Board of Supervisors and certify it
to the auditor, so that State, county
and school taxes can be collected.
This suit will test authority of the
State Tax Commission to require real
ization at the hands of the board
Lyon county was raised $15000O,
and the Board Of Supervisors made
the increase, raising or lowering, the
petition alleges, 400 assessments and
passing on increases in the assess
ments Of 2S0 perons, as reported by
the County Tax Commissioner, r. S.
Jones.
After the recapitulation had been
sent by the board to the State Com
mission, 1875 farm land owners, filel
complaint with the commission, al
leging gross inequalities in the as
sessments, furnished affidavits ana
displayed a map purporting to show
that land Of the same character and
same locality was assessed from 81
to $40 the acre.
The commission investigated and
decided that Lyon county be required
equalization. The county Judge was
notified that the county must be re
assessed or the commission would en-
ploy man to do it at the county's
expense. This action was followed by
the application for a writ of man
damus.
The law says "the commission"
shall have power to raise or lower
the assessed value of the property in
any county, but that it shall not have
the power to raise or lower any in
dividual assessment, after the same
has been approved by the County
Board Of Supervisors; and again, "in
the event the County Board of SUI
pervisors fails or neglects to carry
out the orders of the commission, the
commission may itself make a re
assessment and equalization"
d. R. Black, ]. w. Stafford and Sam
G. Cash compose the county board.
Fayette county authorities are
watching the outcome of this pro-
ceeding. The Fayette board fatty re-
fused to make the raise ordered, and
the commission probably will stand
pat on its refusal to approve its re-
capitulation, in which event, unless
appeal is made to the courts, taxes
will be collected in Fayette until the
county authorities act in conformity
with the commissions orders.

The Indianapolis Star OF Monday

The Indianapolis Star Of Monday
says:
Miss Mary A. Dye, well known to
the reading public Of indianapolis and
to the club women Of the state for
her efficient service in the Indiana
polls Public Library, died at her home,
1874 Broadway, at o'clock yester-
day morning. She was the first of the
library attendants to take profession
al training for her library work.
When Miss Dyes library work end
ed in 1917 she was head Of the art de-
partment, which she had built up from
handful of books to department Of
several thousand volumes. 1t was
said Of her, go to Miss Dye If you
want service. She does not point to
the alcoves and say, you'll find what
you want there but she places the
book before you, turns to the page,
and points out the paragraph contain
ing the desired information.
She had the special qualities of
mind necessary to successful library
work. She knew her books, and could
tell what was in them. Her retentive
memory sometimes made her mind
seem almost encyclopedia. No trou-
BILE was too great for her in helping
friends to investigate subject, and
1t was frequent thing to find her
walking blocks out of her way to car
ry books to those working along spe-
cial lines. Her services in the max
ing Of programs for art clubs through
out the state were in constant de-
mand and her name became a familiar
one in club circles. So devoted was
she to her work that it may be said
that she put her life into it.
In addition to her library work, Miss
Dye was for a dozen years or more
secretary and treasurer of the Shakes
peare Club organized by the late DR..
Cleveland
Thoroughness was almost heroic
quality in all she did, and in running
down subject she pursued it into its
ramifications.
Miss Dye was born near Mayslick,
Mason County, Kentucky. She was
educated in the district schools. at the
Mayslick Academy and at the Millers-
burg Female College. Upon coming
to Indianapolis she was graduated
from the Indianapolis Normal School
and afterward taught in the public
schools for a number of years. She
left the schools to study library sci
ence at Pratt Institute, from which
she was graduated preparatory to her
entering the Indianapolis Library,
where she worked for twenty-three
years.
Miss Dye was sister of the well
known Indianapolis attorney, the late
John T. Dye. She is survived by her
sister, Miss Charley Dye, 1884 Broad
way.

MANY eggs ARE
Being LOST BY
OUR FARMERS
Farmers Are Great Losers BY Not
killing or Combining BOOSTERS,
County Agent Says.

IL seems that farmers are paying
but little attention to our efforts to
get the rooster out OF the chicken
yard. Rotten eggs are still being
brought to market. Eggs from this
state are called Kentucky Junk" by
eastern buyers, and are bought on that
basis. Local dealers are forced to
buy on that basis. Farmers are paid
on that basis. Many farmers COM
plain that IAN egg is an egg"-big,
little, dirty, clean, rotten or fresh, an
egg Is an egg, and the farmer wants
egg prices.
Now listen Eggs may be eggs, but
sometimes they must be used for fer
tilizer, and the price the eastern deal
ers pay governs the prices paid In
Mason county. If Mason county eggs
are not up to standard Mason county
prices will not compare favorably with
prices paid for better eggs.
It is contrary to the law Of Ken
lucky for a farmer to sell eggs to a
storekeeper without Gambling. 1t Is
contrary to law for any storekeeper,
dealer, or huckster to buy or sell eggs
without Gambling. It is contrary to
law to give or accept payment or eggs
unfit or food, and Gambling is the only
way Of telling without breaking the
shell.
A fertile egg begins to form chick
en- within "a hours after 1t Is laid
If the temperature reaches 100 de-
grees. There will be blood ring
formed which Gambling shows distinct
ly Such eggs are unfit for food, when
Sc hours old. Summer heat will start
this development, and the state law
calls for Gambling between May 18th
and January 18th, in order to protect
the consumer.
Mason county farmers can get a
premium for their eggs above the re-
gular market if the eggs are worth 1t.
Dealers can handle good eggs on a
closer margin, and prefer them on that
account. The farmer may slip one
over" on the dealer, but he is the
loser in the long run, because the
dealer has already made allowance
for these tricks, and can tell you this
week very closely how many bad eggs
he will find in each case next week
and will pay for them accordingly
A dealer handling 90 to 1000 cases
per week gave the County Agent the
following figures on two lots of eggs,
bought at different times.
Lot Number, 5000 Dozen No. l
eggs, 2349 dozen; No. eggs, 5O4 doz-
en-; Rots, 80 dozen.
Lot Number, 1920 Dozen No.
| eggs, 27SS dozen; No. eggs, 229 doz-
en- RIOTS, so dozen.
Figures do not include broken and
cracked.
No. l eggs 60 as "strict fresh, No.
show signs heat, age, dirty or
small. Rots need no explanation.
Now word about size. l saw cases
weighing 46 pounds filled. I also saw
cases weigh 81 to Sc pounds filled Can
you expect the as pound case to sell
for as much as the other? Would you
give as much for a so pound shoat as
for one weighing 100?
1t won't cost the farmer cent to
get rid of the rooster, keep eggs clean
and cool. Sell eggs twice week.

Earnings for 1918 Estimated
at $12,O00,OOO, 900 by
Treasury Department.

The farmers Of the United States
alone could subscribe the entire
amount OF $4,000, 100000 to be asked
for in the Victory Loan which is to
be opened by the government April

department show that the earnings
of American farmers for 1918 totalled
more than $4,000. 100000.
Ability OF the American people to
meet the obligations of its government
is shown through figures issued by the
treasury department showing the earn.
ing power OF the nation in 1918 to have
been in excess of $73,000,000,000. 1t
would have taken less than two days
earnings Of the American people to
pay all the interest charges on all the
Liberty Bonds outstanding during that
year.
There is far more gold back of a

that standing behind bonds of any Of
the others OF the allied nations.
