Want Reduction in Properi, Tax.

The Kentucky Tax Reform As
ISOLATION at meeting at Louis

next General Assembly in Ken
lucky in an effort to secure a
gradual elimination of the tax on
real estate in Kentucky for State
purposes. 1t is argued that in
creasing taxes from intangible
property and from corporations
will provide enough revenue to
make it possible to reduce State
taxes on real estate gradually
and finally eliminate them, leav'
ing real estate subject to city
and county tax only.
for many years real estate has
borne the greater burden in Ken
lucky for the particular reason
that it could not be removed Or
hidden from the assessor and be-
cause the attempt to impose ex-
cessive taxation on personal prop
erty from contributing its share.
The tendency elswhere is to
exempt land from State taxation
and some of the States are follow
ing this practice in others the
tax rates are so low as as to make
the taxes on land negligible.

Cheer fot The Consumer.

After perusal of the state
ment issued by Wheat Director
Barnes, following his conference
with wheat producers, jobbers,
millers and bakerf, one obtains
the impression that it is possible
that the consumer may expect
cheaper bread and flour this year.
In view of the fact that provi-
dence has blessed the United
States with the greatest crop
ever known in the history of the
world, it is, indeed, reassuring
to the people that they may be
permitted to participate in this
bounty.
To be sure, the wheat growers
will get the guaranteed price of
1925 a bushel for their grain,
even though the market price is
below that. But the middlemen
have agreed to take a stated
commission, the millers have
consented to limit their profits
to a specified figure and the bak-
ers are" willing to enter into a
contract by which they would
reflect at once in their products
the lower price of flour made
effective by the mills"
In this way" says Mr.. Bar
nes' statement, down to the re-
tail trade there is Thought to be
an assurance that reduced price
of wheat shoRld be effective

Can't See She'll in Flight.

A correspondent writes the
Scientific American" The ques-
ton has been raised in discussion
whether or not the soldiers in
France can see or hear shells fire
by high powered guns in time
to dodge them. Will you please
answer this question for us if you
have information available?'
Here is the answer Sound trav-
els in warm weather 1,120 feet
per second. A high powered rifle
produces a much greater velocity
in the shell. The gun cannot be
heard before the shell reaches the
place to which it is sent. Nor can
an object moving past one with
such a velocity be seen. If it were
coming directly toward one it
might be seen when near enough
to fill perceptible angle. That
shells have been seen to go past,
rests upon very uncertain founda-
tons.
