KENTUcKY's BIG FAMILY BIBLE

The leading editorial in the May 1
issue of the Kentucky Medical Jour
nal, under the heading Name the
Babies" discusses some of the diff
culties encountered in putting the
vital statistics law into effect. In
this connection, the editor PHILOSOPHY
ically refers to the State Bureau of
Vital Statistics as "Kentucky's Big
Family Bible" A happier name coul
not we'll be devised. When the
people of Kentucky understand that
the object of birth registration is
to record the name and date of ar
rival Of each little citizen of Ken
lucky, so that it's legal identity may
be established, and that the state is
simply exercising the same care that
leads a father to inscribe each birth
in the family Bible, public support
of the measure will be increased and
assured.--Crowley Signal.

WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IS
RETAILERS BEST FRIEND
Business Magazine:

Business Magazine:
The retail merchant who fails to
take advantage of the advertising
columns of the weekly newspaper is
simply allowing a money-making op-
portunity to pass him every week in
the year.
No other class of publications is SO
closely read by such a large MAORI
ty of readers.
The news in these papers is large
ly local, largely personal, and in the
small town the doings of the neigh
bors receive much more attention
than in the large cities where there
are thousand other things to dis
tract the attention.
However, a merchant cannot scrib-
Bile off a few lines on a piece Of wrap
ping paper, tell the publisher to run
them and then expect a crowd Of
buyers to come to his store.
The merchant must have goods and
values that he thinks are worth call
ing to the attention of the public. If
he cannot offer special prices he
should offer special values. Readers
Of weekly papers are keen to no
tice what advertisers claim, and these
claims should be made good.
Whether fortunately or not, the
chain store systems are now invad-
ing the small towns. These stores
make an immediate success by con-
stantly using, intelligently and force
fully, the weekly newspapers. Then
their example is weakly initiated by
older merchants. 1t is time for the
retailers of the South to wake up,
adopt original methods, and advertise
vigorously in their local newspapers.

STATE Should HAVE A
SINKING FUND FOR DEBT
n. O. Picayune:

Governor Hall has sent to both
houses of the General Assembly a
special message dealing with the re-
funding Of the state debt, which will
become necessary in 1914, before the
Legislature meets in regular session
again. The governor points out that
the constitutional amendment in 1910
making provision for the refunding
of the debt provides merely for suf,
ficient taxation to meet the inter
est and makes no provision whatever
for a sinking fund or the ultimate
redemption of the bonds.
The governor in his message points
out in a most convincing way that
the absence of any provision for a
sinking fund will seriously handicap
the state in disposing of the new
bonds at a profitable figure, as in
vestors in securities invariably ex
pect that every bondi issue be pro
tected by a proper provision for the
ultimate redemption Of the bonds in
the shape Of sinking fund produc
ed by an adequate tax, the collection
Of which is made part of the con
tract between the bondholders anG
the state.
The special message further points
out that it is highly undesirable thai
the whole debt should be allowed tx
run the full period of fifty years
| without reduction, hence provision
should be made by law for the accu
mutation of a sinking fund with which
to gradually reduce the debt, there
by relieving the stated of the bur
den of paying interest as soon al
possible.
The governors recommendation
are in every respect wise and time
ly The failure to provide a sink
| ing fund would be a serious mistake
as the absence of that ordinary re
quirement would initiate against tn
satisfactory sale of the securities ant
might stand in the way of successful
refunding Of the debt at the time O
maturity. Investors not only requir,
that proper provision be made fol
the payment of annual interest, bu
they insist upon provision being al
so made for the eventual liquidation
of the debt. Without a sinking funt
it is very doubtful if the state would
be able to market her proposed 4
per cent bonds at par.
The State Board of Liquidation ha
recommended at it's recent meeting
at Baton Rouge that in the process
Of refunding the state debt provis
ion should also be made for liquidat
ing valid securities and claims out
standing for which no provision ex
lists at the present time. The failure
to meet these valid claims has fO
years initiated against the state'
credit and has prevented saving
banks and other corporations from in
vesting a part of their surplus il
Louisiana bonds. Unless the liquida
ton of these valid claims is provid
ed for the fact will initiate againS
the sale of the new bonds. No valiG
debt against the state should be per
mitted to remain unpaid, hence WheI
the work of refunding the regular
state debt is in progress these neg
lected claims should be taken care
of, provided, always, there is nc
taint attaching to them.
