Gov. Beckham has collected off
OF the Government 81, 100000 at a
smaller rate OF commission than
any other state in the Union has
done. For forty years his prede-
cessors in office have been trying
to collect this debt, or at least a
part Of it, and failed. Gov. Brad.
ley paid Gen. Collier for his failure
to collect it. The last Legislature
did away with the double liability
requirement which was keeping
corporations out OF the State.
This was done to encourage capital
to come in and help develop Ken
lucky. The affairs OF the State
are now being run on tax rate Of
All cents, which the Bradley adj
ministration raised 1t from 424 to
52t. How is this for business
administration?
