fixed upon them in the way of
taxing system by the late special
session of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture they are not much inclined
to vote local taxes. They may
be hoping for change at some
time. 1t is a fundamental prin-
cipal implanted in the minds of
all intelligent men who are not
wholly selfish, that all taxes for
public purposes should be born
equally by all the people inter-
ested according to ability to pay
and benefits supposed to be de-
sired. Now when those Oldham
and Simpson county voters come
to consider that proposition to
vote this tax they may have
realized that under the present
taxing laws in Kentucky, and
applying to their counties that
not a cent of this tax would be
paid by taxing Intangible person
al property.0 Doubtless like all
other communities the estates of
their wealthy men consist most
ly of cash capital invested in
securities of:one kind and anoth-
er, and that such property would
by law as it now is be wholly ex-
empt from the payment of this
road tax. They further realized
that under these laws that every
thing in the counties that could
be classified as a manufacturing
institution would be wholly ex-
empt from the paymet of any
part of it. They know that accor-
ding to capital invested manu-
featuring plants cause more wear
and tear on roads than any thing
else, yet they are exempted. Take
for instance a lumber plant such
as saw mills, and planning mills,
under the law as it now is all
theirs grounds, buildings, uncut
logs, and sawed and finished
lumber is exempt from road
tax, or any local tax whatever.
The same as to grist mills, all
its ground, buildings, machinery,
wheat, corn and their products
are likewise exempt, and the
same as to all kinds of operations
that can be classed as manufac-
turtles. The proposed road taxes
are not all these people of Old
ham and Simpson counties have
to pay. Their local taxes for
ordinary and necessary purposes
are already greatly increased by
these exemptions. 1t would be
an impeachment of the pluck of
the Oldham and Simpson county
voters if a majority of them are
willing voluntarially to burden,
themselves with additional local
taxes so that their taxes to state
county and local districts would
be annually from So to $3.50 on
each hundred dollars worth of
their land, horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, chickens, turkeys, geese,
ducks, &c. While his neighbor
owning Intangible personal pro-
perty invested in U. S. bonds,
State bonds, county bonds, town
bonds, or district bonds would
not pay a cent Of taxes on it
either to State, county, town or
district. And should it happen
that he instead Of owning the
bonds should lend his money to
his neighbor and take his note
he would have to pay to the state

SYRUP FACTORY LATEST ADDITION
 TO PINE BLUFF
Will Be Located on West
 Fourth Avenue
WORK WILL BEGIN I
 IN NEXT TEN DAYS
$19h00O Plant Will Mean Much to
 City.

The Pine Bluff plant of the Fort Scott Syrup factory will be located on West Fourth avenue, south and little to the west of the Pine Bluff Lumber Company. The site which con- sits of , acres of uncleared land, has a frontage of~53O feet along the Mis- souri Pacific Railroad tracks. The property was bought from Walter Hudson, purchase price not named.
 The site was selected by J. A. Rich ards. efficiency engineer of the Fort Scott company, and it seems advan- tageous for it's purposes. It is not long distance from the junction of the Cotton Belt and Missouri Pacific rail roads, and arrangements have been made to extend spur line from the Cotton Belt tracks to the site.
 Site Ideal.
 A study of the site shows that it has been situated near the most inn portant roads leading into the city, which affords easy hauling facilities by farmers who will bring their cane to the factory via the wagon roads. The Dollarway pike, the Sheridan pike, the Princeton road, the Sulphur Springs road, the Hearndale road and the Free Bridge Road are in conven-s tent juxtaposition to the location of the new plant.
 Work on the plant will begin in about ten days according to J. A. Richard who will be superintendent of the local factory. The first work to be done, of course, will be the clearing of the ground for the erect ion of the factory buildings. This work will employ Pine Bluff labor, as, well as will the work of erecting the buildings and others adjuncts of the plant.
 Foreman Here.
 Elmer Coe, who has been an en- ploye of the Fort Scott factory, for many years and who set the original machinery of the company in 1887, will be the foreman of construction. MT. Coe has arrived in Pine Bluff, and will spend the next few days locat- ing, preparatory to beginning work on the plant.
 The cost of the factory, as appro- ximated by MT. Richard, will be around $125,000. Of this, it is es- timated that spur tracks and switch es alone will cost ,$5OOO. MT. Richard has opened all office at room 4O2. of the Citizens Bank building, and from there he will direct the opera tions preparatory to the operation of the plant.
 Means Much to City.
 The locating of this factory here means much to Pine Bluff and Jefrer- son county, and business men are cognizant of the importance of this most recent addition to industrial Pine Bluff. The possibilities of the factory are limitiess. The manufacrsre of peanut butter, candied yams, jams and preserves, canned fruit, pickles and many other articles of like na- ture will in time be attracted by the plant, and the raw materials will be grown in Jefferson county.
