RAILROAD COMMISSION on
RAILROAD VALUATION

Certifications of railroad valua-
tions being sent to county clerks
by the State Railroad Commission
take the 1919 rate of taxation of
the various countries. This was
agreed upon by the commission
after the question had been dis
cussed as to whether the certifica-
tons should bear the 1919 rate or
the 1920 rate
The commission will discuss the
question as to whether the taxes
are for the year 1919 or for the year
week in Louisville. Officials of JEFF
ferson county were in Frankfort re-
Gently to discuss the question with
the State Tax Commission and al
though no definite decision was
made, the commission decided that
the ratifications of railroad valua-
lions should bear the 1919 rate in
stead of the rate for this year.
Before 1918, when the State
Board of Valuation and Assessment
made the assessments, the railroads
made reports on which the assess
ments were based in October and the
assessments were made by March Of
each year. In order to conform to
the rates of the federal government
the reports are now made between
December 81 and March 81 and the
certiications made by the commits
sion during the summer.
Through an error of some sort the
records show gap of one year and
this caused the question to be
raised as to whether the taxes were
for 1919 or 1920.

no law or custom which
compels a President of the
United States to wear a red neck
tie. AS Attorney General of the
United States engaged in eliminat-
ing the reds from the landscape
the color has no attractions for
him. AS a Quaker and the son of
a Quaker. his tastes have been for
quieter colors. But there is no
gainsaying the fact that Mr.. Pal
mer has the face and figure to
wear red neckte and get away
with it.
If the democrats decide to NOM
mate the Attorney General as
their candidate for the presidency
they will have a. least selected
their best looking candtdate-and
this year the women's vote Is to
play a larger part than ever be-
fore in the decision. Mr. Pal
mer is tall and broad shouldered.
He has shock of gray hair that
would make him look considerably
more than his forty-seven years
were it not for a face that gives
the lie to his gray hairs. His
eyes are blue and his features
regular. except for chin that
thrusts forward as though looking
for a fight. His Quaker training.
perhaps. has held his chin in check.
However that may be. the Attorney
General has never avoided a fight
when it came to him. His friends
call him the "Fighting Quaker.
