Largest Amount on Handin 112
Years.
The War Claim and Regular Revenue
Laws Leave the State In
Good Condition.
THE AUDITORS STATEMENT

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 2-According
to the report of Auditor Coulter there
is in the state repositories to the cred
it Of the commonwealth at the close
of business Thursday q net balance,
exclusive Of all warrants and checks,
'of 81 sos, 1915. This is the largest
amount that the state of Kentucky in
its history of 112 years has had on
hand at the end of any year, and the
largest sum of money which has ever
confronted a general assembly in the
history of the state. All of the asy-
lums, house of reform, asylum for the
deaf and dumb. blind asylum and the
penitentiaries have all been paid mp
to the end Of the year, and all general
claims against the state are thorough
y paid up, there being only a very
few claims of small amounts in the
office unaudited. Eighty per cent. Of
the school fund to the various common
schools has been paid. The remain
ing 20 per cent cannot be paid under
the law until January, so that this
cash balance is legitimate one, there
being no outstanding or unpaid claims
or demands against il. Approximate
ly $500, 900 of the money on hand is
represented in the collection Of back
and delinquent taxes which have been
collected and paid into the treasury
during the past four years. The audi
tors office has made every possip'
effort to require all persons, firm
corporations to pay into the state
ury not only the current tax, but any
tax on delinquent or omitted property
during the term now about to close.
The revenue law passed at the 1909
session of the general assembly has
materially aided and assisted this de-
Dsrtment to secure funds 20 meet the
obligations OF the state and support it's
and pay its debts. be-
lieve it to be a fact that the present
revenue system with few amend
ments represents the most modern, just
and equitable mode Of taxation. The
system embraces many features Of tax
alton which are indirect and not felt
BY the public but at the same time
considerable revenue to
the state. During the month of Janu-
NY there will be due to the state con-
siderable amount Of money by way OF
axes from railroads and Gistilleries,
IS well as the regular monthly collec-
ions made by county officers through
ut the state.

Better Watch Out.

The report is made that the people
OF this community are now bel ng
cajoled into the belief that money can
be saved by buying groceries direct
from Chicago. Canon has long been
free from travelling fakirs. The many
Missourians have taught the people
and it is hard work to show them.
The traveller is here today and gone to-
morrow. People who purchase from
travellers cannot return unsatisfactory
goods and get their money back as
they can by patronizing home insti-
tutions. The traveller buys no produce,
pays no taxes, makes no contribution
to church or charity, or movements
for public benefit. He takes money
from the Gullible and moves on to the
next place, enjoying his easy money. +"
In q neighboring community recently
some fskirs "took orders" for mer-
chandise, the prices for which appeared
remarkably cheap. The 'orders" how
ever. by a slight manipulation, turned
up in the local banks as notes OF hand
and being in the hands of innocent
purchasers had to be paid. The local
grocers ask no signatures but deliver
the goods, which, il not satisfactory,
they are glad to have returned. II .
comparison Of prices could be made it
would also be found that the local
merchant made the lowest price. The
sdulteration of food products these
days enables fakirs to make prices.

away, beating their way to Las Vegas
where they were taken into custody.
They are a bad trio Of boys, and,
doubtless, will be severely dealt with
by the courts, although no punishment
can be inflicted adequate to the nature
of their crime.
They were brought here from
Florence last Tuesday afternoon by
Special Agents Burnazzi and Smith,
accompanied by Sheriff Simon and
locked up in the county Jail. They
were submitted to sweating process
on their arrival here and ie is
understood that Aldrich and Ellis
acknowledged their completely in the
crime although the Denton boy stub
bornly refused to make any sort of a
statement. They were photographed
by Babberger in the sheriffs office on
their arrival in this city. The charge
against them is one of the most re-
prehensible in the catalouge of crime.
The Ellis boy has served q term in the
reform school at Beuna Vista, having
been sentenced from this county about
two years ago.
The defendants will be given a pre-
liminary hearing before Judge Eldred
of the county court at 2 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, February 10.
