An Immense Saving.

1t is estimated that three and a
half million wooden poles used by
electric companies in this country
require renewal each year.
These poles are perfectly sound
except at the ground line; and as
it costs more to renew a pole
than to set a new pole, a scheme
of reinforcing the poles with con
crete has recently been devised.
1t consists in bridging the weak
ened part with reinforcing rods
driven into the pole above and
below the decayed portion. Con-
crete is then nodded around the
pole over the reinforcing rods.
In this way the pole can be rem
dered even stronger than it was
originally and at very little ex-
pense.

The Adair County news., 1909-08-11

the line of other more progress
i've States so that at some time it
may provide for State aid.
, MOVEMENT NOT NEW.
This question of State aid in
road building is no new question.
Thirty States in the Union have
already provided it, and every
year others are falling in line.
In several States the Constitu-
tons have been amended like it
is proposed now in Kentucky.
Of the Southern States, Florida,
Georgia, Maryland. Virginia and
West Virginia have granted
State aid, and in consequence
these States are rapidly forging
ahead of our own Commonwealth.
The great State of New York
has but recently issued bonds to
the extent of $6O,OOO,O0O for
road building, and other States
are coming along with smaller
contributions.
In some States the penitentiary
convicts are being worked on the
roads with good results. If this
amendment should be adopted
and Kentucky, when she is able,
should provide tax to assist
the counties in the building of
turnpikes, instead of being a
tax it would turn out to be an in
vestment. Every dollar that the
State would contribute would be
brought back into the State
treasury with interest in increas-
ed valuation of property. 1t
would be the very best invest
ment that Kentucky could posi-
bly, make, and in ten years in
stead of having only forty-one
revenue-producing counties, there
would be seventy-fve or eight.
AS the proof of this statement
let me give yon a few facts from
my own county of Hardin. This
county is neither rich nor a poor
county. 1t lies neither in the
Blue Grass nor "Pennyrile. "
Fourteen years ago H ardin
county appropriated 100000 to
road building and since that time
it has been working it's roads by
taxation, and every year adding
to it's turnpike mileage. When
road building began in Hardin
county it's assessed valuation was
So, 535, 507, now with its good
roads and Improvement in them
from year to year, the valuation
is S., 371, 947. Here is an in
crease in value of 81, 8OO,O 900 in
round numbers, and | want to
state to you people that at least
81, 100000 of that is due directly
to the construction of good roads.
What has been true in Hardin
county would be true in the
poorer counties of the State, if in
order to get the benefit of State
aid they levy a county tax for
road construction.
FINE INVESTMENT.
From a careful reading of re-
ports from varions States Bonds
Commissions and from the Public
Roads Departments of the United
States Government, an satisfi-
ed that the changing of a mud
road to a good turnpike road in
creases the value of land along
side of it not less than rs per
cent. | do not believe that you
/ farmers in Bourbon county or
The Adair County news., 1909-08-11

State Treasury than they draw
out if they had turnpikes.
(! There is another reason why
we should have State aid in Ken
lucky. And that is that Federal
aid depends on State aid. The
sentiment for good roads in this
country is growing so rapidly
from year to year that it is only
a question of the very short time
when the United State Govern
ment will appropriate many mill
ion to aid in the construction of
good roads. 1t is not necessary
to discuss the wisdom or justice
of this.
The roads are entitled to as
much consideration as the rivers
and harbors, and the farmers as
much as the people who live in
the cities. Several bills have
already been introduced into Con-
gress carrying handsome appro-
priations to road building. Every
one of them provides that the
money shall be distributed only
among States which grant aid.
Adopt this amendment and Ken
lucky is in line to get it's share
of this money when it comes.
Defeat this amendment an d
Kentucky is forever barred from
sharing in Federal aid.
WANT STATE AID.
We want State aid to help
cou mites which are too poor to
build good roads without it; for
the establishment of rural routes
in these sections of the common
wealth, and to put them in this
way into close touch with the
world. We want State aid to
help the cause of public scho Of
education. Many States have
adopted the consolidated school
district plan, where children are
brought to school at county eX-
pense. This is impossible except
where there are good roads.
But YOU ask me why we who
live in Bourbon county or else
where in the Bluegrass section
vote for this amendment when
we already have good roads? l
answer not because you are It'll
zens of Bourbon county, but be-
cause you are Kentuckians, and
| did not come here to appeal to
your selfshness, but to your State
pride and your patriotism.
Everything that you do in Bour-
bon county that is good helps
Kentucky as well a S Bourbon
county. Everything you do that
is wrong reflects on the State as
we'll as on the county. Outside
of our borders we are known on
ly as Kentuckians.
We in Western and Southern
Kentucky share in the honors
which have come from your Clays
and your Breckinridges, while
you share in the honors with us
that have come from producing
Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson
Davis. No great man can grow
in our State that all Kentucky
does not share in the lustre of
his name. No great crime ca n
be committed in any section that
shame does not fall upon us all.
1t is the part of the rich to help
the poor, and part of the fortu-
nate to help the unfortunate.
Some of you remember that
many years before the present
