tial to the success Of the other.
Having mentioned several of the
many advantages Of railroads and
other laudable enterprises, | con-
tend that the above mentioned
statute should be repealed and that
the constitution of Kentucky
should be so amended as to give
the several counties an opportuni-
ty of securing them. No harm can
be done by simply leaving this
matter optional with the county
and giving it the right to seek
such advantages if it So desires
No railroad or corporation is going
to sink its money in any enterprise
without it has some assurance of d
reasonable return. and the county
which shares so greatly in the
profits should be permitted to con.
tribute something toward this as
surance. Now this amendment
does not say that the county shall
contribute aid to these enterprises
but it places the county in posi-
tion to carry out the wishes of th'
majority of its sovereign citizens
Our forefathers never displayeC
greater wisdom than when they
conceived the democratic princi
plies of local self-government, the
very corner stone of all liberal gov
ernments. 1t is this principle tina
fosters interest and pride in affair
of state and is the best means o
educating men to become responsi
BILE, intelligent citizens. 1t is
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1901-11-26

principle dear to the heart OF every
freeman and should be jealousiy
guarded. "a government of the
people, for the people, and by tine
people" cannot be brought too
close to the people, and any tend
ency toward Capitalization is in
direct opposition to the spirit Of
Republic.
Why should this amendment not
be adoptedS The money of the
county belongs to its taxpayers
and they should be allowed to say
how it should be expended. The
people of our counties are intelli-
gent enough to understand their
best interests, and are certainly
capable of governing themselves.
1t was never intended that the ma
tion or the state should do for any
division Of the country what that
division could do for itself. Surely
no man or set Of men can know the
needs Of any county better than
the citizens of that county, and no
one can administer its affairs more
acceptably than those who are di-
rectly interested. 1t is contra
diction in itself for a state cOnsti-
tuition to prohibit what is for the
advancement of that state, and
this section amounts TO that since
any improvement in any county is
a step in forward direction for
the state.
Having had experience in deal
ing with corporations, our people
are better prepared than ever to
handle questions or this kind, and
by profting by the past experienc-
es, we can avoid many Of the de-
ceptions that were practiced years
ago.
1t is no longer task to amend
the constitution, the condition be
ing a three-ffths vote Of the Leg
, islature and ratification by a ma
iority Of the voters Of the state

example Of the State Of Texas may
be cited to those who violently
oppose the existence of corporate
power. The Legislature of Texas
passed laws that made it impossi-
bic for corpora tions to do business
in the state and there was Moth
ing left them to do but to withdraw
from its borders which they did,
and as a result of this, so great
was the stagnation of the channels
of trade and so dead became the
life of commerce that the Cover
nor was forced to call a special
session of the Legislature and
have these drastic measures re-
pealed We need more railroads
and means of travel to the remote
portions of our state and then we
need more stock companies, corpo-
rations if you will, to develop the
dormant wealth of the country.
1t is almost useless to argue the
benefits to be derived from such
enterprises. The great advance
made by this Nation in the past
century is due to railroads as much,
if not more, than to any other
agency. A railroad opens the
channels of industry and furnishes
inlets and outlets to the country
through which it passes. By plac-
| ing the farmer and merchant in
| direct communication with the
centers of trade, it enables the farm
er to get the best market price:
for his stock and produce and, al
the same time, enables the merch
ant to furnish goods to the con
sumer at very low rates withou
sacrificing any of his profit. Prob
ably the greatest benefit derived
from a railroad is the vast increase
Of the unearned increment of prop
erty. How many cities and town!
owe their origin and life to th'
railroads passing through thei
limits, and how many farmers anC
land owners owe half the market
able value of their land to th'
same sourcef When we take int
consideration the conveniences o
travel there is no one in the coun
ty who is not directly benefited
by the railroads, and ] might ado

Paper read by Prof. John L. Hill,
OF the Mt. Sterling Public High
School, before the Mems Club of
the First Presbyterian church,
M. MMt Sterling, KY:
In order to discuss intelligently
a question of this kind, it is neces-
sary that we become thoroughly
familiar with the legal issues in
yolved. The Constitution of Ken
tucky previous to the existing one
was formulated and adopted before
the question of railroads and cor
porations was live one, conse-
quently it contains no provisions
relative to the regulation Of such
institutions. Inasmuch as it did
not forbid the appropriation OF
money by counties to corporations
railroads received considerable aid
in this way and in many instan-
ces undue advantage was taken OF
the privilege and several counties
were robbed by paying for goods
that were never delivered. Re-
peated outrages had so influenced
public opinion that when the new
constitution was agitated and u
convention called, opposition to
railroads WAS the main issue upon
which the members were elected.
Consequently body of men went
to Frankfort determined to get
even with these corporations, even
if they had to sacrifice the best in
terests of the State to do so.
Many of these men were farmers,
who were ordinarily good business
men. but who were not far-seeing
enough to realize that they were
about to pass raw that would
place Kentucky half of century
behind in the march of progress.
They reasoned with themselves al
ter this fashion: "We have lived on
dirt roads all of our lives and have
Jared very well, surely the State
can get along without railroads.
The new constitution was created
and adopted, section 1853 of which
provides that no county shall incur
an Indebtedness exceeding two
per centum of the assessed valua-
tion of taxable property in the
county, intending thereby to pro-
hibit counties from voting appro-
priations to railroads or to any
other laudable enterprise, because
the majority of the counties were
already in debt to such an extent
that very slight appropriation
would raise the Indebtedness be-
yond the limit. Those OF you
who were interested in the adop-
ton of the present constitution
will remember that much discuss
ion was engaged in withreference to
this clause, its opponents claiming
that it would stop all encourage
ment to enterprises of any sort and
that il was aimed directly at rail-
roads. AS proof of this fact,
the Legislature in an act of June
a8, '03, provides as follows, viz
GAN laws and parts of laws which
authorize any county or subdivis-
ion thereof, or any city, town OF
Incorporated district to become a
stockholder in any company, asso'
citation or corporation, or to OBJ
tain or appropriate money for, OF
to loan it's credit to, any corpora
tion, association or individual, ex'
cept for the purpose Of construct
ing or maintaining bridges, turn
pike roads or general roads, are

The facts. however


|, That about $780,, of each 800 went
for expenses" and only about SlO', of
each 500 went on the streets, is not
cheering to the taxpayer.
,, That if the county has paid the sum
of 81 100, levied last year for highways
within the corporate limits, but which is
not reported as il receipt nor an asset, it
will be seen that of the towns own
$11,O42. 63 of receipts, only 500. &c went
on the streets,
3, That inasmuch as expenses cannot
be cut down, it is clear that water rents
should be raised that an income of -. 900
will not meet an outlay of $4,000.
The floating Indebtedness appears to
he about $1,000 a statement which might
be relieved little by fixing a modest
value upon the towns property and en-
bodying the sum among the assets.
The way anti merit was talking merit
all day Monday was Il caution to the
gentlemen who are spoilsmen and proud
Of it. In one instance it turned ont that
there is only one man in town who can
tell where certain thing is. IT he is i'll
doubt twig from tree i'll his lot, taken
to the spot, solves the difficulty. And
"the beauty of the brickwork" is-of
the several trees in the lot none but him.
self knows which sports the magic twig.
Another man is also solo in the de-
partment of municipal song. He reaches
a note to which no other vocalist can
climb. What the town would do if these
useful gentlemen should die suddenly in
the performance of their duty may be
better imagined than described.
Why advertise by poster" Why
make it posSible-not probable, that only
one poster can he printed, or only one
posted? All corporate advertising, es-
pecially for bids, should become AS wide
and long as the corporation itself. In
short, it should 90 in all the newspapers
in one anyway.
Again-why fix the wages of labor
and hauling and not the cost of coal: Or,
WHY llDl ttSh lOl DltlS lOI StIttt anu tttIll-
work as we'll as for supplies of coal:
The new Council should have a map
made of the town water system, show
ing where the mains lie on all streets,
etc. This is a suggestion which comes
from the outside.
1t is reported that James A. Taylor
contemplates resigning. The JOURNALS
advice is-"don't." A promotion of
that character doesn't come to merit
citizens often moreover, the magnitude
of the work hasn't increased one-fourth
as rapidly AS the salary.
The election of officers is over, and the
JOURNAL is so constituted that it can do
little more than weep with those who
blubber and laugh with those who
smoker. As some of its advertisers ask
-'can anything be fairer?'

FRosTBURG, MD, May |, 1901.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
| wish to say i'll all earnestneSS to the
dear friends and so-called Christians of
this town that think it is about time
they We're called to IL sense of their duty
to our town pastorS-eaCh for the way
he criticises and finds fault with his own
for speaking the plain truth i'll plain
words.
Friends, if you had the grace of God
in your hearts you would be glad to hear
the Word spoken SO that you can under
stand all it means. 1t Is no wonder the
churches of this town are not filled when
we see how Christians act on the street
When they get out of church they act
like they We're just coming from Il third
rate show.
Dear friends, what more do you want
than we have to be guided along the
narrow path that leads to God? The
longer | live the more highly do | esteem
the Christian church, and the more
grateful | feel towards those who i'm
press its importance to our well-being
here and hereafter on the community.
[ believe all the pastors i'll this town can
lead us all to Christ and we should all
want to go. We should each of us look
up to and love our pastor, and not make
IA mere slave of him. If you are sick, or
i'll trouble, how soon he will come and
comfort you and point you to Christ.
But fault-fnders are always s'rall-
souled. The ignorant laugh, criticise
and ridicule. True worth never eXults
over the faults of others, and faults are
always thick where love is thin A
white COW is all black if your eyes choose
to make her so. Some stay away from
church because they do not like the pas
tor and others because they can't have
their own way about everything. May
God help all such. is my earnest prayer.
| will close by expressing the hope that
all the members of the Church of God
will be faithful in the performance of
their Christian duties, more loving to
their pastors, and | know God will bless
and bring us all home to heaven.
