TROUBLE IN SIGHT.
Because of the Importation of Negro
Miners.

Sturgis, KY. Jan. 10.-The West
Kentucky Coal company began yes
terday to import negro mine workees
from Hopkins county TO take the
places of striking union miners. and
the bringing of this class of labor
in here, which is an innovation never
attempted before by other operators,
is creating somewhat of a sensation,
especially during the present crisis of
labor troubles.
The plant has been operating UNI
der many drawbacks since the begin
ming of the strike, but Supt. Chas-
Beecher seems confident that he will
have sufficient nonunion labor soon
to produce the capacity output of the
shaft.

1903 is placed at not less than ST.

been cooperating to a greater ex-
tent in handling and marketing cot
ton and tobacco. They have also made
some advance in the diversitication
OF crops. In the last six years the cot

NEW BILLS AFFECTING CITY.

Several of the bills agreed on at
the conference a few weeks ago OF
second-class cities have been intro
duced in the state legislature, and
are of great Importance to Paducah
and other cities of the second-class.
The Lexington Herald. says of
some of the bills:
IAN act of Importance which will
be of great benefit is one giving the
general council power to have pave
ments and sidewalks constructed, as
we'll as reconstructed, without pc
tition from the owners of majority
of the front feet of the property af-
fected but at their expense. Now it
is necessary for the owners of ma
jority of the front feet of the abut-
ting property to petition for the orig
inal construction of a pavement or
sidewalk. Due to this there are sec
lions of the city where neither the
streets nor the sidewalks have ever
been constructed. Mud holes and
mud sidewalks disgrace a large part
of the town, and it is only right that
the council should have the power to
have constructed, as it now has the
power to have reconstructed, the
streets and the sidewalks and make
them uniform throughout the city.
Another act of very great import
ance to Lexington which is being
prepared and will be introduced this
week is an act authorizing the coun-
Gil to create board of park commits
sioners, to be appointed by the may
or. 1t is fact, the general recogni-
ton of which will be of value, tina
Lexington's future depends more up
On her educational advantages ano
the attractions she offers as a resi-
dental city than upon any other con
ditions. II we will bend our
energies to improve our educational
system, including the public schools.
and make of our city a more beaut.
full, more healthful, more attrac-
tive city for residences, we shall do
the best we can for the city. The bill
providing for the board of park com
missioners is drawn along the same
lines as the act governing the parks
of Louisville"

The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1906-01-10
is THREADING ON DANGEROUS
GROUND.

II is reported on apparently good
authority that certain Democratic
politicians are trying to impress on
the board of city supervisors that ii
will never do to raise the property
assessment in such a way as to ena-
BILE the Republican legislative boards
to reduce the tax rate. Ii is not be-
lieved, from the standing of the
members of this board, that such a
contemplate suggestion will have
any effect, but it is not at all unrea-
sonable to presume that reports
about these Democratic politicians
are true, for there are some of them
who would stop at nothing, as in the
recent episode on the occasion of
the general councils election of city
officers
The general public cares nothing
about politics nor about which side
is in office, but it does want rea-
sonable valuation placed on property
in assessing 1t for taxation, and
reasonable tax rate.
There Is now a move on foot to
employ a reliable man to go over the
city tax books and prepare a list of
the most valuable property in Padu-
cab, showing what it sold for or what
has been refused for it, and at what
it is assessed and at what 1t has been
assessed for several years back.
1t may be depended on that the
general public would be astounded
at the gross Embarrassment of some
of the most valuable property.

The Commissioners Commend
the Parole Law.
improvements Of $20,OOO Recon-
mended At Frankfort and ST.
OOc At EddyvilIe for Year.
THE EXACT FIGURES OF LOSSES

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 10.-The re-
port of the state board of prison COM
missioners has been compiled by Sec
rotary Joseph Barlow.
The report shows that the highest
number of prisoners enrolled at the
Frankfort penitentiary during the
year was 1853 and at Eddyvllle 667,
and the largest number of women
was 20.
Regarding the paroles of the pris-
oners during the year the report
says:
During the current year "A pa
roles have been granted, making a
total of 304 since September $1,000,
when the parole law went into eff
feet"
The reports from a large number
of men on parole are most favorable,
many of them making excellent citi-
zens and restoring to ruined homes
the comforts of life taken away by
their wrongdoing. The board recon-
mends that the parole law be amend
ed so that paroles be perpetual, and
that the limit of the law controlling
the eligibility of lifetime prisoner
be made ten years. The two year SEN
tence and under should not be eligi-
BILE to parole and the paroled con-
victs should not be allowed to leave
the state, but must remain within
the jurisdiction of the board. That
paroled convicts be required to re-
port January l and July / of each
year: that the sentence of attempted
rape be made ineligible to parole,
the same as rape.
The commissioners recommend an
appropriation of $4,000 for the cree
ton and equipment of new hospital
at the Frankfort prison with con-
sumptive wards, and $1,000 for the
improvement of the hospital at Ed
dyville and the construction of con-
sumptive wards.
The report from the Frankfort pen
itentiary shows a net profit OF $2,-
179.41, taking credit as heretofore
for permanent and fixed improve
metns amounting to S6.722.73. The
branch penitentlary at Eddyville
shows net deficit of sS.156.16, TAX
ing credit as heretofore for perma-
nent and fixed improvements aggre-
eating sS,G95.G0.
This shows a net deficit for the
two prisons of s5.976.75. While this
deficit is somewhat Disappointing. 1t
is accounted for in the increased sala-
ries of the guards by the act of the
legislature of 1904 and by the large
increased price for all articles of raj
ment and almost all articles of food.

The greensboro Messenger says:
The general council of Paducah in
increasing the license of loan sharks
from s25 to $3.50 per annum did a
laudable thing, but IL would have
been even better to have forbidden
them to do business in the commune
ty at any price. This industry has
grown up in the cities and towns of
Kentucky the past few years in a
most abusive form. Poor people are
tempted to borrow money at most ex-
orbitant rates and are often required
to pay in interest many times the
amount of the original loan. The bus
mess should be either limited to rea-
sonable charges of interest or pro-
hibted altogether. 1t is most demon
alizing to the wage-earning classes. "

He said in his communication TO con-
gress Monday: Every specific
charge relating to jobbery, to i'm
morality or to inefiiciency, from
whatever source it has come, has
been Immediately investigated. and
in no single instance have the state

and the interested compliments be-
hind them proved true. Any at
tempt to cut down the salaries of the
officials of the isthmian canal COM
mission or of their subordinates who
are doing important work would be
ruinous from the standpoint of ac-
complishing the work effectively.
Men fit for the work will not under
take it unless they are well paid. In
the end, the men who do undertake
1t will be left to seek other employ
ment, with, as their chief reward, the
reputation they achieve. Their work
is infinitely more difficult than any
private work. both because of the
peculiar conditions of the tropical
land in which it is laid and because
it is impossible to free them from the
peculiar limitations inseparably con-
nected with government employ
