 SCRIPTIONS ARE LIKEWISE
 RECEIVED.
 What looked like one of the small est months ever experienced by the fund for the fatherless children of France was given big boost in the eleventh hour by the receipt of eleven subscriptions from Nenana which, to- gether with what had already been subscribed locally, gives the fund an extremely creditable showing for the month of June.
 The Nenana contributions we're se- cured thru the personal efforts of Mrs. Frederick D. Browne, represen- tative of the Alaska committee in that town. The effectiveness of her efforts is shown by the total of $148.25 which she remitted to the committees treasurer yesterday.
 To this amount is to be added two local donations received yesterday. One of these was handed in by a man who declined to give his name. sim. ply saying it was from a friend. The committee wishes to thank this donor for his kindness. The other was a regular monthly subscription from Jack and Jim Pegues. The total of the fund for the month of June Is $239.. 75.

JUDGE CARROLL
VISITS OUR CITY
Henry County Candidate For Cover
nor Speaks at Court House
Here Monday.

Judge John d. Carroll, of Henry
County, Democratic candidate for
the nomination for Governor, ad-
dressed the voters of this county at
the Court House here Monday, in
the interest of his candidacy. While
only small crowd was present to
hear the distinguished jurist, his re-
marks were given close and careful
attention. He was introduced by
Hon. Jno. G. Winn, of the local bar.
Judge Carroll, who is now Chief
Justice of our Court of Appeals, is
well and favorably known here, par
ticularly with the legal fraternity
and is highly regarded as a scholar
ly gentleman and exemplary citizen.
The principal part of his speech
was given over to a discussion of
the present tax laws, the repeal of
which he strongly opposed. While
admitting the rate of taxation on
money, stocks and bonds as COM
pared with land was unfair, he ex-
pressed belief that it would be inn
possible to get that class of property
listed, unless it were favored with
an extremely low rate.
AS a solution of the present trou-
bles, he suggested the total exemp,
tion of farm lands and town lots
from taxation for state purposes,
letting the state get its revenue from
the taxation of franchises, etc.
This plan is opposed by Gov.
Black, who says it is impossible and
impracticable, since now, taxing
land to the uttermost, as well as
every other specie of property, the
state does not seem to be able to
raise enough revenue. How, there
fore, could the state exempt land,
now furnishing the bulk Of its rev.
enue, and hope to make both ends
meet, he asks. Such a course would
force the state into bankruptcy and
cause our schools to be neglected and
all branches of our government suf-

um next Friday evening at half past
eight o'clock.
Each of these artists is we'll
known in Mt. Sterling and are rec
ognized as musicians of the highest
type and no doubt large audience
will be present to hear them.
The proceeds will be for the bene-
fit of the Missionary Societies of the
Presbyterian church.

AGED LADY DIED

Mrs. Sarah Dicken, died at the
home of her step-daughter, Mrs. Ella
Gilkerson, Monday night, at twelve
o'clock. Deceased was go years of
age and had been in poor health for
some time past. Mrs. Dicken was
the widow of the late DIR. Will Dick
en- and moved here only few months
ago from Salt Lick.
She is survived by two sons, Sam
uel and Charles, one daughter and
one step daughter. The body will
be taken to Salt Lick for interment
Wednesday and services will be held
in the associated church by Rev.
Fryman. Friends will be sorry to
learn of her death and the bereaved
family has the sympathy of all who
know them.

PLANNING BIG CELEBRATION

We have been informed that plans
are under way for a mammoth
Fourth of July celebration for this
city. Those in charge of the work
say that band will be secured,
horse races at the Fair Grounds,
both trotting and pacing; a baseball
game and if possible a midway and
carnival company. 1t is planned to
make this a general celebration for
the returned soldiers and sailors of
this and surrounding counties.
Everything possible for the enter
tainment and amusement of the
people will be had. The business
men and merchants should be in
terested in this celebration as it will
bring thousands of people to our
CITY.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1919-05-20

fer, thinks he. He also asserts that
to rely on revenue from franchises
and personality alone, for state pur-
poses, would make the rate confsca-
tory and thus force this form of
property to leave our state, which is
exactly contrary to our desires, as
we want capital to come to our state
and develop our untold resources.
He further asserts that only in large
manufacturing states is such pkin
feasible and that it is thoroughly out
Of the question in an agricultural
state like Kentucky. AS a solution,
Gov. Black suggests that the rate on
personally be raised.
Col. Henry H. Denhardt, on the
other hand, says too much arbitrary
power is given the State Tax Com
mission; that land is made to bear
too great a percent. of the burden of
taxation and while he does not fav-
or a return to the old law, which was
as crude as the present law is cum
ming, he thinks the law now is so
faulty as to justify it's absolute re-
peal. He then favors a law con-
tanning all good features of the old
and new laws, to be framed by tax
experts, with an eye singled on Civ
ing equal justice to every class of
property. Especially does he want
to give the local boards some voice.
As it now is, all they can do is TO
carry out the instructions Of the
State Tax Commission, or resign.
Such law, as he proposes, fairly
administered, will raise without tax
ing the people to death, a sufficient
sum to meet the legitimate needs of
the state, says Col. Denhardt, es-
pecially if business principles and
not politics are made the controlling
influence in the administration of
state affairs.

FAIR CROWD
HERE MONDAY
Good Run of Cattle on the Market
But Prices Are Considerably
Lower

Eight days of rain in two weeks
but for wonder Court Day was
fair, warm and pleasant. Fair sized
crowd in town, big run Of cattle and
big slump in prices ranging from
one to two dollars per hundred
pounds. We are unable to see cause
in slump except that cattle were
selling too high or else the buyers
were stocked or else they wanted to
save their grass to strip the seed,
for grass was never more abundant
than at the present time and fat
cattle are selling very high. There
were $500 head on sale, about 1000
head remaining unsold but will be
sold today or held over to next
Court. AS an illustration of the
difference in prices of month ago,
80 steers and 20 cows were solo by
French Heeton on Saturday before
reaching Mt. Sterling for Is and 10
cents per pound, same kind selling
for II and cents. Most of cattle
were sold by the head, the following
sales show trend of prices:
VIM. Marshall bought 20, 550-lb.
steers at $40.
Winfield Keaton sold II steers ar
$65.00, about II cents.
Mike Wilson, %, SO0-lb. steers at
13 cents and 9, 700-lb. cows at $67.50
Sam Keaton sold II 4OO-lb. heifers
at $48.00.
Owens & Richard sold Z head of
cows at 1-2 cents.
Few sheep on hand but sales
were slow. Very few mules and
market was dull. Good deal of horse
trading. Good demand at fair
prices.
