Position Of the Paducah ssKen-
tuckian.,,

The Paducah Kentuchtan is unduly
sarcastic over an editorial of ours, and
accuses us of mistating its position. We
certainly have no such desire. The de-
ductions of the COURIER were from a
careful reading of the Kentuckians, and
we think were logical and correct. How
ever, to do ample and full justice, we
publish the Kentuckian's own statement
of It's position. Referring to our article
it says:
"Th;s is the most disingenious statement
of our position that could have been made,
and but for the high opinion we had con-
ceived of the editor of the COURIER, would
not be worthy of notice We said in the
article referred to, "we endorse all the
Herald saws in regard TO the NECESSITY of
State aid, and the benefit to be derived from
it." And we say now, we have never seen
a State with so great natural resources, so
far behind in improvements as Kentucky is
| to-day and she needs all the aid she can get
| from the State or otherwise to develope her
resources-but in no other article in the
same paper" or in any other paper, or on
| any other occasion, or at any other time,
does the Kentuekidn recommend Kentucky V
| TO create similar debt" On the other hand
our object was to convince the people of
Kentucky that the Legislature had no power
under the constitution to involve the State
for internal improvements.
| As we have frequently stated in the dis
cussion of this question, we would be in
favor of the State lending her credit, Lmi L
| edty 10 railroads, that is to few great

same time appear to keep within the let
ter. 1t may be that the constitutional
ty of the proposed measure, is sustained
by every lawyer of any ability in the
Hera1d's particular locality, but there
are lawyers of distinguished ability
within the range of our acquaintance,
who agree with US, that the "great meas
ure," can only be carried out by an utter
disregard of the Constitution.
We are sorry to be compelled to differ
with our friend of the Herald, but with
our present convictions, we cannot fail
to do all in our power to prevent the
adoption by the people of scheme
which in our opinion will end in financial
ruin to our State.

The People Not 10 Pay any Tax.

Nor viii this cost the people single
dollar of taxes, or any thing else. Not one
cent will they ever have to pay. But on the
contrary, it win do Eor us what it has done
for other States-it with give to the State
Treasury a revenue which will almost if not
entirely relieve the people from taxation
even TO pay the expenses of the State
Paducah Hsrdld.
Sush words, unsupported by facts,
will be wasted on intelligent readers.
The experiment in Kentucky condemns
your calculations as erroneous and ruin
Gus. The people Ore not to be blinded
to the fact that when the Legislature ap-
propriates money they have it to pay. Let
us argue the question fairly, and coun-
tenance no humbuggery. Why the Con-
stitution expressly requires that no debt
over half million shall be created with
out proUiding in the bill the means of
payment in thirty years. Look at Gen.
Preston's bill, and you will see tax all
through it.
But, you say, the State is to derive an
income from these internal improve
ments. Instance your Paducah and Gulf
Road. 1t cost one and a quarter million
dollars, and sold under mortgage for
$3.50, 600; and McCracken county has

provision made TO pay the principal

" THE KENTUCKY RIVER IMPRovEMENrs.-

ton was ordained and led, "To

the enjoyment of the Ip Q5f life, Hber-
ty, and property, aud of pursuing happi-

morecertainly be attained, individuals
surrenderosto the State government, the
power to rs is pfto some extent the right
of each individual or citizen to the un-

perty, and the pursuit of happiness. To
the extent these rights have been surren-
dered bpshe individual citizens, the State
governDstca can do anything not forbid

aihawith the powers delegated to the
Il neral government This much we
RI aifly admit, and if our State Constitu-
tic gives to the State government the
right to make internal improvements, o.
if it be essential or necessary, that rail-

made in order to "secure to the citizens
of the State the enjoyment of the rights

the enjoyment of either one of these
great rights, then the peoples money
may be used for such purposes, and no
man or power can rightfully object; but,
IF this power is not expressly granted,

the 36 sec. of ar1we bs of the Con-
stitution authorizes the' tsate government
to create debt for the purposes of In.
ternal improvements, it also requires
that tax shall be laid and collected an
nually, sufficient to pay "the interest
stipulated, and to discharge the debt
within thirty years. This tax is not
for the general purposes Of governmelt
but is laid and collected for a specific
purpose-and is to all intents and pur-
poses specific tax, it must therefore be
germane to the objects and purposes of
the government Now we ask the Her
aid in ali caudor is the construction of
railroads and turnpikes one of the OBJ
jects and purposes for the accomplish
ment of which our State government was
created? We are confident the answer
will be in the negative. and there
this not being one Of the objects of the
government all taxes collected for any
such purpose will in the language Of the
Chief Justice OF the State, be 'sLegis-
lative spoliation' and we are confident
the Herald favors no proceeding to
which this term can be legitimately ap-
Piled.
The Herald abandons the idea of loan
ing the credit of the State to railroad
corporations, and claims that the friend,
of State aid are not in favor Of anything
of the kind-nctwithstanding the bill
they attempted to pass through The Leg
islature last Winter, provided that bonds
of the State should be given to railroad
companies in exchange for their own. 1t
seems from the Herald, these friends now
wish to invest in the improvements, "and
to take mortgage upon the whole road
at the time she pays over her money, as
security for her investment" This will
certainly be novel investment. IF the
State paws for one third of the stock,
then she becomes the owner absolutely
of one third of the road, and has no
right to ask a mortgage on anything to
secure her investment; because she gets
all she pays fo-, and nesds no further
security. If she pays one third of the
expenses of the building of the road,
upon an agreement mat the amount so
paid is to be refunded, then she be-
comes money lender, and can rightfully
ask for mortgage on the whole road
But is money lending one of the objects
for which the State government was Gre
ated? IF the State invests her bonds in
the construction of the road, and takes
a mortgage on the road to secure the
repayment by the company of the
amount of said bonds, then she has
loaned her credit in direct violation of
the<Constitution. All these difficulties
grow outof the fact, that the friends of
