Ambitious Scheme of Board of

In two years. and not to cost the
people OF Paducah a cent more for
park purposes than the, charter of
second class cities compels them to
pay, whether they get the improve

scheme adopted by the board of
park commissioners at their meeting
yesterday afternoon.
The scheme contemplates the ac-
compllshment OF the work OF thirty
years in one, and is to be carried
out by the issuance Of municipal
bonds TO the amount of 500, 900, at
per cent, payable in 80 years. BY
an amendment of the charter, pro-
viding for a board of park commits
sioners, a levy of 5 per cent is made
mandatory on the general council.
and this will in no year fall below
$4,000. This sum is made available
10 the board of park commissioners;
but according to the program map
ped out by the board. II the bond is

preparation will be diverted into
sinking fund to pay the interest on
the bonds and liquidate the issue at
the end OF 80 years.
This scheme will be laid before
the board of councilmen at the next
meeting. and. If the legislative de-
partment is favorable to the idea.
preparations will be made to get the
matter of issuing the bonds before
the people at the earliest possible
time.
The board OF park commissioners
will proceed taking options on prop
erty. There will be park in each
ward in the city. and, perhaps. a
downtown park Whether the lat
ter will be situated on the old to-
bacco warehouse site between Broad
way and Kentucky avenue adjacent

decided. Some question of the cost
is holding back members OF the
board.
The plan includes the widening Of

streets. so as to connect the park
system. A riversi lie park will be Sc

Owing to the increased town and city

Germany will continue to be an I'M

the last few years.
AS for -four, that is another matter.
The new tariff is fairly proportionate
with wheat, but the German mills are
bound to shut out foreign flour.
Germany's Wheat Area.
{ Now, the question of wheat-raising in
Germany arises; that is, whether, en-
couraged by 13 cents bushel increase
raise more wheat. This Is unlikely,
for two reasons. AS has already been
intimated, the agrarians will look out
for that, for should the crop exceed
home requirements, the total duty OF
35.7 cents would, practically, be lost to
the farmer. The price of wheat in
Germany would then seek an interna-
tional basis =.
Furthermore, as the duty has been
increased on all grains, there is no in
ducement for the farmer to curtail one
crop to increase another; and there is
no new land to put into grain. Neither
can the yield per acre be increased.
If the official figures on acreage and
crop are correct, and it may be as
sumed that they are approximately So
the yield of wheat per acre is over
double that of America. It averages
from twenty-eight to thirty bushels an
acre for the entire country.

The agricultural interests have ma

than their opponents. The agricultural
interests are represented by the agra
rians, the dominant national influence.
They are for inclosing Germany within
a wall, and forcing Germans to eat only
German products, no matter what the
price. They would make little nation
Of Germany. -..-
The commercial and manufacturing
interests, instead of living off one an
other, would bring the gold of all other
nations to Germany, in exchange for
German goods. They would make the
country the greatest Of the world s
powers.
What Each Has to Offer the Laborer.
The agrarians give to the farmers
higher prices for grain and cattle. Yet
the farmers cannot afford to pay living
| wages to laborers. There is general
complaint in the farming districts that
| the laborers are leaving the farms for
the factories Of the towns and cities
Eastern Germany is forced to bring in
| the miserable labor of still farther east
to work on the farms.
The manufacturing interests offer the
laboring classes more than they car
have on the farm. OF course, there is
little inducement, when looking at the
future, to remain on the farms, fol
there is no hope of becoming a land
owner, while comparatively few may
even rent the land.

tiers not what It has been for hundreds
of years; the world is changing. What
is it now, is a question that must be
fought out; and many will suffer in the
settling of it. There doubtless will be
compromise, unless selfish interests
prevail.
Of course much Of Germany is fertile
and large crops are raised. Yet con-
siderable part Of it is not suited for
profitable farming. That the low wages
paid in factories are better than those
paid on the farms, would seem to indi-
cate that raising, the. high-priced grain
of Germany is expensive.
This, briefly, is the situation in Ger
many. The agrarians are in power, and
their new tariff law is something other
nations cannot ignore. Already, eight
other countries have made treaties with
Germany, so that they may receive the
benefit of the minimum rate on prod
ucts sent to Germany. The new law
cannot be revised for twelve years.

next move is up to the standpatters of

building a stone wall which blocked
the view of her pet obelisks. This was
probably the original "spite fence
Amenophis IL. had some grudge against
the memory of AThutmes, for he tore
away most Of the wall and put Hata
soo's columns on exhibition once more.
Hatasoo built a rock temple at BENZ
hassen and dedicated it to a goddess
who happened to be particular friend
of hers. Pakht was the name. Thutmes,
the nephew, had her name erased
wherever he found it in or around the
temple, but neglected to substitute his
own, SO when Sethos I. came long and
discovered the blank spaces he said:
'"This is my temple,' and unblushing-
ly ordered his name to be carved on
every open spot. -.
In the temple at Abydos the aforesaid
| Sethos took up a, large area Of wall
space in blowing about himself and tell
ing of his wisdom and piety and how he
stood in with the gods. His son, Ram
eses the Great, started on another part
Of the wall to tell about himself. When
Rameses (this is our old friend, the
boss advertiser), got wound up his chief
delight was to tell of his filial devotion.
In the. temple at Abydos he started in
memory of Sethos and how he was prob
ably the most dutiful son that ever
grew up, and before he got thru he had
so much to say about himself and his
love for the departed male parent that
he had to ehisel away most of his faith

room for his own! =.
