MONDAY, JANUARY 1?3, 102? If we have read the reports c< rcctiy, there is a bill before the co mittee of the legislature proposi that a tax of $"? a reel be put up the picture shows. If such a tax piaced upon the picture shows it w amount to running them out of bu ness. They cannot operate under tax like that. Four, five and six re a day are shown in most pictv shows. This would mean twen twenty-five and thirty dollars a d tax. The truth is, no tax whatev cf this special nature should be plat upon the picture shows. They are ready taxed almost to the b-eaki point. Besides, the picture show the poor man's play house. It is abc the only amusement he is able to p for. Why run out of business t poor man's chief institution for roci ntion? Why don't the legislature r own some of the hip: appronrlatlon The state levy is three or four tiir higher now than before the wa. W not cut off some useless anpropr tlon? We never have seen why t state taxes should have risen frr something like $2,000 000 annually something1 like $7,000,000. Why r find out where the four or five m lions more of tax money goes? P< haps some of the rat holes into whi it is going might be stopped up. Now that it seems likely we w get the 10 names in our subscripti list at $r>0 each for a cannery, we ha sent Mr. Robert W. Beaty of Gosh Hill township to Louisville, who there opens today a gathering of t canners' convention of the countr ^ The convention will last four days ai it was a splendid opportunity to p first hand information. We do not j tend to take a leap in the dark. \ propose petting the best, available i formation upon the questions relati to a cannery. Mr. Beaty is full > nthusiasm, he is alert and he is pi gressive. He will bring us detail formation. Tho expense of iN Beaty's trip was guaranteed by T Times. If the cannery is duly orgr icd, it will be asked to roimbuse for the expense of this trip. If t proposition falls through. The Tin will stand the expense. Nobody c blame us for this. It is necessary get information. Getting informati costs money. Somebody has to far-sighted trough to furnish t money. Before Mr. Beaty returns, the lat part of this week, we hope to have t 100 names in our subscription li Why not help now? Anybody can s : point after it stands up like mile stone. The men of vision see sooner. Will you help to start son thing good? Give ub your subset* tion and let us be ready to call r i >*st meeting. Before one dollar the subscription is collected, we pi pose calling the subscribers togetl end laying facts and figures bef? them. We will not venture unless c information tears us out in the w dom of the step. While you are subscribing $50 .1 cannery, let us have your subsor 'ion of $100 (o n potato drying hou Both enterprises will work togeti splendidly. The potato drying hoi is not even n venture.

It i- state,! :ee that when taxes are paid on this s !a ary it will amount to a net income of it .something like $100,000 a year. We te- ore certainly in no mind to c ml . ip- Mr. Hays.
