WHY SHOULD BOURBON
NEED THE STATES AID?

The Good Roads Committe Of the
louisville Comerical Club is flooding
the newspaper offices with Circular let
tiers and newspaper stories advocating
State Aid in Good Road movement
The course pursued by the committee
is in a measure commendable but there
is no necessity for it in the case of
Bourbon county.
Why should Bourbon county ap-
prove of the efforts of those interest
ed in the movement for better roads
when each year there is paid into the
road fund of the county sum in ex-
cess of $4,000? Are not the tax-pay-
ers of Bourbon paying enough for its
roads without helping pauper counties
whose resources are not great. This
would necessarily be the result if the
aid of the State was enlisted in the
movement for good roads.
Bourbon county could not approve of
any measure that might lead to this.
The taxpayers are paying into the
county treasury enough for road
fund to insure the best highways of
any county in the State of Kentucky.
With conservative distribution of the
county road fund no doubt it can be
county could be placed in an excellent
condition, whereas, at present a large
Der. cent of the mileage of turnpikes of
the county are in a deplorable state.
There is better remedy than lend
ing assistance to secure aid from the
State for Good Roads, that is, it ap-
pears to US as citizens and taxpayers
of Bourbon. Elect a County Judge
hot hn
bon are wellkept; elect a County
Judge who will devote his time in the
discharge of his duties in this depart
ment. Bourbon county needs no aid
from the State to improve its roads;
it needs an official who will see to 1t
that the road fund of thee ounty is
spent to do the most good for the
greatest number of people, who for
the past eight years have had their
rights abused by an official sworn to
guard the interests of the taxpayers
and who has been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting"
This should appeal to every voter
who has a voice in the coming primary
election. C. A. Mcmillan pledges him.
self to devote an interest to the public
roads if elected to the office of County
Judge This is a matter that has been
treated with insignifcance during the
past eight years and during the admin,
istration of the present County Judge
Why should there not be a change to
insure better condition Of the coun-
tvs highways, without aid from the
State and stop the ruthless eXpendi-
ture of the county's road fund and
this without any benefit to the tax-pay-
ers.

LET'S HAVE NO DODGING
OF RESPONSE

Judge Dundon is quoted as saying
when electioneering, that he is not re
sponsible for the deplorable cOndi
ton of the turnpikes.
But the Court of Appeals of Ken
lucky holds that he is responsible
There were bad roads over in Boyle
county, which led>to an Indictment by
the grand jury at Danville and the case
was carried to the Court of Appeals OF
Kentucky. The Court of Appeals held
that the County Judge may be indicted
for bad turnpikes in the county
If our statement is denied or chal
lenged, we will, at our own expense
get a copy of the opinion of the Court
of Appeals and publish it. Every Law.
yer of experience or practice knows
it, and we are prepared to prove what
we say, with the opinion itself, if our
statement is questioned.
1t was bad enough to neglect the
turnpikes, certainly so to neglect them
to such an extent that the Grand Jury
of Bourbon county felt called upon to
minister severe rebuke, but to at
tempt to shirk this responsibility is as
bad or worse, especially when done to
get votes. The people of Bourbon
county do not want as County Judge
nya man who disclaims responsibility
for condition of the turnpikes. If he
does not feel his responsibility he Ger
tainly should be retired from Office.

doubt. 1t may be also added that last
year Mr.. Parish, who occupied the
same place as now, on the Finance
Committee, insisted that ,thecity's ex-
penses could not be taken care of
with tax rate of less than $l.65,
while as matter of fact 1t was taken
care of with a rate of S1.30, and a
balance left equal to nearly 10 cents.
AS to the additional income from
the saloon license not having been
returned to the taxpayer either IN
improvement or further lowering of
the rate this is as false and mislead-
| ing as any of the other misrepresen-
| tatiOns. The total lowering Of the tax
rate has amounted to so cents in the
| four years, equalling $4,000. The
| School Fund has been increased about
| $500, and about $4,000 of overcheck
and back debts inherited from the
! former administration were paid and a
surplus of over 1900 shown at the
end of last year, making a total of
$4,000, which with the thousands of
dollar spent on the outlying streets.
that were left by Mr.. O'Brien in the
most miserable condition, makes more
than the extra amount from saloon
| licenses.
The great trouble, it appears to me,
with the opposition is that they fear
they will have to run the city govern
ment on the same economical basis
as that on which it has been run the
past four years to make the present
tax rate equal to their purpose, but
they need have little fear of being
put to such a stress as the voters OF
Paris can be trusted to see that their
government is entrusted again to the
administration that has for four years
managed so well and accorded tC
friend and foe alike the fair treat
ment to which they are entitled.
Nor will it be necessary for the hon
est and fair editor of the Democrat tt
be put to the embarrassing duty Of
having his fellow citizens sent to the
State prison for appropriating money
contrary to law.
The people can be trusted to see t.
their own affairs without the aid O
this wonderful guardian of public in
tereStS.
Respectfully submitted

NO GROUNDS FOR SUCH
UNDUE CRITICISM

Dissatisfied with the verdict at the
trial of the four negroes charged with
the murder of Town Marshal Petit, the
Clay City Times in its recent issue
comments and severely criticises the
Bourbon jury as follows:
Those Bourbon county sap heads
must have been behind with their
work. and if these negroes had agreed
to work for them they would, prob
bly, have cleared them of the brutal
murder of Marshal A. T. Petit. The
younger aggregation of this uartet
are strangers to work or probably
they would have done this and gained
thir liberty.
"That Bourbon county jury EVIL
IDENTIFY believes a negro should tar and
feather a dozen more mountain
white men before electrocUting him.
"The proceedings and trial of Mar
shall "A T. Petit's mUrderers is a
strong argument in favor of justice
being melted out by Judge Lynch.
"Such a sentence and such delay
in the trial has worried the patience
of the law-abiding citizens of Powell
county. The whole affair is a disgrace
to the Commonwealth. Powell county
would have done better. Had it been
left to. the people of this county al
together, at least two of the boys who
confessed TO the killing would have
suffered the effects of the electric
chair long before this"
The editor Of the Times in his mar
rowness allowed his prejudice to get
the better of his judgment. Refer
ring to the Bourbon men who COM
posed the jury as ''sap heads"
is indeed very ungentlemanly, when It
is considered the jury was composed
of some of the most substantial far
mers, business men and men of other
occupations, in the county.
There is no excuse for this criti-
cism of the Bourbon jurors, who, in
their judgment, rendered a verdict in
accordance with the law and evidence
at the trial in Winchester, and which
they were sworn TO do when the were
accepted by the prosecution and de-
tense.
Any law-abiding citizen deplores a
crime of the kind that was perpetrat-
ed in Clay City, and it is even more
deplorable that man of the commune
ty should enter an argument favoring
mob violence TO secure justice. The
-day of mob violence has passed, al
though the knowledge of the fact may
not as yet reached the editor of the
Times, who in his far-away position
should restrain himself from criti-
cisms of a just and honorable body of
men.
