CITIES MAY ASK FOR TAX
REPEAL

A repeal of Kentucky's classical
ton tax law through efforts of va
rious municipalities is looked for
ward to as the next possible step in
case the decision in the suit BY va
rious banks to prevent collection of
State, city and county taxes, is de-
cided for the banking institutions.
This information was contained
in a letter to Peyton N. Clarke, Sec
rotary of the Kentucky tax reform
association. from William T. Bas-
ikett acting city attorney Of Louis
Vile, who declared that that city
would join any such move.
Mention of the movement for re-
peal of the law was made by the
Christian County Fiscal Court in
resolutions adopted Friday, charging
the bank with evasion of taxes.
The court also charged that public
concerns will follow the lead of the
banks, and urged a special session
of the Legislature for the repeal of
the law in that event.

With the resumption of the to-

The local stores have begun to
decorate for the Christmas trade,
and are placing their large Christ
man stocks in position for the in
spection of shoppers. In the mean
time the live wires are using the
advertising columns of THE NEWS
to acquaint the trade with what
they have in stock. The pessi-
mists will have to take back seat.

An IlI-Advised Resolution.
bennington Banner

Churches and church people are wont
TO lament the small influence that the
churches have on public affairs Prob
ably their influence is actually much
greater than they realize. The New
World has fortunately escaped the domi-
nation of q state church which for cen
turtles has proved a drawback to the
Christian religion in nearly every eoun-
try in Europe and whatever influence
the churches in this country exert has
to be through general channels and it is
better so. The fact that no one group
of people can be safely allowed to act
as the guardian for all applies just as
forcbly to n church as it does to union
labor. associations of capital form or
ganization or any other. Any single
class of society is too much inclined to
view the world through its own specta-
cIes and to magnify its own Importance.
For this reason the Banner does not APP
prove the demand of the Episcopal
church for a uniform marriage and dl-
vorce law in the United States which
would require another amendment to
the constitution. The editor of the
Banner is a member of the Episcopal
church and believes that church comes
the nearest of any in Christendom to
the early church as organized by Jesus
and his disciples but the Banner is in
clined to believe that the resolJAion
passed by the recent Episcopal church
convention of Vermont relative to mar
riage and divorce is ill-advised and also
that it does not represent the actual
sentiment of the Episcopal church in
this state. We have had too much legis-
lation by constitutional amendment in
this country in recent years and it will
be better to let the several states strug
gle along with the marriage and divorce
question. Government from the top
down is not working well enough to war
rant an extension of the system.
