"There is the usual talk about
changing the tax laws heard ev.
cry time the Legislature is about
to meet and as nearly everybody
thinks they are unjustly taxed,
the agitation of the question
seems to meet the general ap-
proval of the discontented.
at was taxation without rep
resentation' that induced h e
American Colonies to throw off
the yoke of bondage and this
seems to have been succeeded by
taxation with misrepresenta.
ton In these latter days, judg.
ing from the character of the
complaints heard" So says a
bulletin of the Ken lucky Tax
Reform Association which is a
strong advocate of classification
for taxation. The Association
also believes farm values are
none too high and not unduly
taxed.
Well, perhaps t h e farmers
need no consideration nor con.
cession from point Of taxation,
but if there was no tax whatever
levied against the farmer for the
next twenty years he would not
be able to retrieve the losses he
has sustained the past twenty
months. Has any other business
suffered so heavily in losses? No
Legislation has stood on guard
for all but the farmer. Even the
railroads with inflated fixed rates
have been given guarantee of
interest on their fOurfold padded
investments. The farmer has
been given no aid whatsoever.
The Times hopes TO see this ses-
sion of the Legislature do its
duty.

Where is The Weather Man?

The weather prophets who had
US all badly scared in the fall
when they told us the winter
would be unusually severe have
certainly missed their mark. So
far, it has been a warmer winter
than last year, and that was the
mildest for thirty years before.
Bluegrass is furnishing good pas
lures below yet and will continue
to do so all winter unless tins Sc.
we're cold weather forecast last
fall comes around at the last hour.
While this warm weather works
good in the saving of feed, and
coal, it works bad on the price of
eggs and dairy products which is
always lower in open winters.
After all there is but little ad-
vantage to the farmer in an open
winter so far as dollars and cents
are concerned.
