FINANCES I'm
GOOD SHAPE.
Appropriation Bill
Smaller Than
Last Year x

CHARLESTON, Feb. "a. = Despite
the defeat of the coal, oil and gas
bills which was not unexpected to the
administration, the Republican leaders
are confident that there will be no
necessity for increasing the State tax
and that sufficient reyenuese will be
provided from the bills now pending.
They have 1t figured out to a nlcety
An agreement having been reached on
the Hatfield license bill which ihcreas.
es the retail liquor license to $1,000
and whacks up the tax on resident cor.
porations ten dollars nil along the line.
1t is predicted that It will Increase the
states revenues $4,000. This Is con-.
siderably larger than the original es.
Innate. The inheritance tax and the
public utility commission bill will
bring In about 100000 more.
Reduce Appropriation.
In this reckoning must be figured
the board of control bill. When the
bill was presented |. was said that It
would Justify a reduction Of ten per
cent. from the appropriation bill OF
two years ago. In placing this esti-
mate ten per cent. was added to the
cost of the maintenance Of state In.
stitutions to cover the natural increase
in the demands made upon them and
therefore the predicted reduction OF
ten per- cent. was In fact a reduction
Of twenty per cent. from the appropria.
tions OF two years ago.
Now, however, comes the welcome
news that the appropriation bill will
carry 100000 less than 1t did two
years ago. The finance committees
have found further means OF looping
OF expenses after duly creditlng the
saving from the board Of control bill
which has passed.
Will Establish Precedent.
For the first time in the history
Of a West Virginia legislature gen.
eral appropriation hill will be intro
duced carrying q smaller amount than
the one introduced at the preceding
session. Invariably in the past has
there been.a gradual, steady increase
in biennial expenditures.
Coupling these prospective savings
with the new revenue measures. It Is
predicted that not only can the State
set along without increasing the State
tax, but that It may be possible to
lop q cent or two from It.

GRANT COUNTY STATESMAN HAS
MADE GOOD IN HIGH Posi-.
E., .. TION.

CHARLESTON, Feb. "a. As the
session comes to close and consider.
alton Is given to all that has been
done or left undone ana those respon.
sible, the name Of President L. J.
Forman appears among the prominent
ones. F
Mr.. Forman has made one Of the
most efficient presidents that ever
swung the gavel in the West Virginia
senate. In the first place he had that
ripe experience that qualities a man
for suca an important position. Now
on the second regular session OF his
second term he ls rounding out eight
years Of useful service In a way that
reflects credit upon bis own ability
and the wisdom Of his constituents IN
choosing such representative.
President Fornlan Is small in stat.
Hre, but big Of brain. He not only has
full and complete knowledge OF the
needs Of the State. but he also knows
how 10 apply that knowledge. From
the start ne has been consistent tax
reformer and has given much time and
attention to bringing about a fulfill
ment Of the Republican pledge to abol.
ish entirely the direct state tax on
property. t.s
AS presiding officer OF the Senate
Mr., Forman has been fair and impair.
tlal in his rulings and indefatlgable
in his devotion to duty. Few presi.
dents have stuck to their posts more
constantly than the present one, and
It has been rare indeed that he has
called upon other senators to take up
the duties Of the chair.
President Forman is receiving much
favorable mention as a possible candI-
date for governor three years hence.

dreds of'women, bound together by the

swarmed into Albany today and be-
sieged the legislative halls to demand
of the mere men who make the laws
the sacrel right Of the ballot. There
were also anti.suifraglsts. the dogs In
the manger, who do not want to vote

made almost as much Of a clanlor, al

committee was the storm centre IN
the onslaught Of the women. and the
public hearing on Senator Hills pro-
posed constitutional amendment,
which would give the fair sex the right
to vote in the Empire State, was the
cause of all the trouble.
Pro and con, but principally pro,
the question was argued before the
dazed Legislators. who early In the
game gave up all hope Of stemming or

signed themselves to their fate. Facts,

heads of the patient Solons, who
clutched their chairs and held on in
grim desperation. while the wordy

the advantage Of the suffragists and

GREATEST REVIVAL
Of His Life Says DR., Jenkens
of Athens Meeting.

Rev. Willard A. Jenkens writes
under date of Jan. 81 that his great
revival at the Athens, Ga, Baptist
church closed Sunday with 164 adj
ditions to the church. He adds that
it was the greatest revival Of his
whole ministry, saying God surely
had a hand in my coming. Bro. Ruby
has been called as my assistant at
81 500 and has accepted. The con-
verts were old people, young people,
all sorts of people," The Athens
Banner says:
Never in the history Of the city
has there been such an awakening in
religious circles as has been brought
about by the revival now being car
ried on at the First Baptist church
under the leadership of the pastor,
Rev. Nj. A. Jenkens. Since the COM
mencing of the meeting a few weeks
since over one hundred and sixty ac-
cessions to the church have been
made and Sunday night twenty-four
were baptized and received into the
church, besides a number who were
received by letter from other church
es. Sunday morning and again Sun.
day night, the attendance was so
large that many were turned away
on account of not being able to get
room in the church."

The Sale of Pooled Tobacco
Will Be Prosecuted by
Association.
LAW UPHELD BY COURTS
Appeal to Members to Stand
Loyal to the Tobacco
Organization.
EDITOR KENTUCKIAN:

EDITOR KENTUCKIAN:
At the request Of the county COM
mittee, is this card of information
and warning. if you please, written.
There is law in Kentucky grant
ing farmers the right to pool their
crops. There is another law, the
Crecelius, providing a penalty for
the man who violates his pledge. so
pooling his crop. These laws have
been sustained by the court of APP
peals.
Wherever information and evil
dence can be secured, of anyone be-
longing to the association having
sold his tobacco outside, in becomes
the painful duty of the committee
to furnish this evidence to the prop
er authorities and have suit for dam
ages brought in the name of the
commonwealth, the fine or fines go
ing to the attorneys and the state.
The committee already has the
names of some parties who will
probably be penalized. These cases
will be presented as soon as practi-
cable, but remember it is not too
late even next Summer.
Just here let me say once more
there is every reason in the world
for members of the association to
feel encouraged in the outlook for
the future, and no reason for be-
coming 'panicky."
A few of the town farmers" in
Hopkinsville and the original loose
floor promoters, some of whom live
in South Christian, are doing all in
their power to create a stampede,
but studying the situation carefully
and trying to be conservative, the
situation looks bright to me.
Once more let US simply stick to-
gether and we are sure to win.
