Want STATE TO
AID ROAD WORK
Constitutional Amendment
Provided In Bill
Would Allow Lean of Public
Funds To Counties Not
Having Means.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 25.-State aid
in the building of good roads in Ken
lucky, especially in Eastern Kentucky
where they are more greatly needed
is a subject which the present Legis-
lature is asked to provide. A bill has
been introduced by Senator Joe f..
Bosworth and backed strongly by Sem
ator G. T. Wyatt, which 1t is believed
by those favoring it will enable all the
counties in the state to have good raod
The bill provides for submission TO
the people of a constitutional amend
ment which will allow each county TO
expend such sums as may seem proper
on roads, instead of being limited, as
now, to Two percent of the taxable
properly. The amendment will also
abolish the provision of the consthu-
ton which prevents The state from
loaning money 10 a county.
1t is contended that the more pros
porous counties in the state should
help the and il is believed that this
can be done easier and better by the
constitutional amendment than in any
other way. Senator Bosworh lives in
Bell county and is especially interest
ed in good roads.
Regarding his bill he said to-day:
Should the amendment carry IT will
allow county to issue bonds or in
cur indebtedness equal TO 10 per cent.
of the taxable property in the coun-
ty and the money could be borrowed
from the State or from private sources.
1t simply takes off the reins and leaves
the county free to spend as much none
as it likes on roads. Under the pres
ent system in many counties not enou
money can be raised 10 build more than
one road. AS that road can reach
but small proportion of the popu-
lation it could not be built for these
not deriving any benefit from the road
would not vote to have it built. This
amendment could not do any harm an
the State could help 10 construct the
roads if it was thought best. In other
States the State aids or builds the
roads entirely and Kentucky is far be-
hind in this matter. Nothing helps
like good roads. Those who are inter
ested in education should want good
roads for IL requires good roads SO that
the pupils can get to the schoolhouse
T. ha rnndQ had
that it is difficult, in certain seasons,
to get over them and the schoolhouse
cannot be reached.
The bill providing for the amend
ment has been made special order
for next Tuesday morning and it is be
lieved that il will pass the Senate witt
little opposition. Senator'S Bosworth
and Wyatt are making every effort to
have the bill passed early in the sea-
son SO that The amendment may be
one of the two which may be submit
ted at one election.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free
