Halloween

Last Friday night was Hal
low'een and the young boys and
girls took advantage of it as usu-
al to tear up the gates, hide the
lawn swings, rattle on the win
dows with their ticktacks, and do
everything they could to annoy
the people. They painted a few
signs on the side walks and win
dowS that were more or less
amusing. A merry good time
prevailed and no accidents have
been reported, nor has any real
bad conduct come to light. This
is a day that the young folks
claim they can do as they please,
and the old folks seem contented
to relax their vigilance on that
night.

The SuIzer Case

William H. Moore a printer in
the city of New York has brought
a suit in which he alleges that the
government of the state of New
York has passed from 1.-THE people to
a small group of citizens and con-
sequently New York is no longer
enjoying the republican form OF
government as guaranteed by
the Federal constitution. He
asks to have Martin H. Glenn en-
joined from exercising the func-
tons of the Governor, and prays
for the restoration of the office to
Gov. Sulzer.
This seems to be of his own
initiative and without knowledge
or consent of Sulzer who is now
making the race on the progress
i've ticket for the office of assem-
blyman. 1t can properly be
classed as one of the freaks.

1t is alleged that an effort will
be made to impeach Circuit Judge
Elem Sampson of the 34th Judi
cial district before the House of
Representatives. The charges
which they claim will be preferred
are that he used money to pro-
cure his election, that he engaged
in lotteries, and has ridden on
railroad passes since being Judge,
and failed to properly instruct the
grand juries.
The sum and substance of the
whole thing is, that it is nothing
more than the result of a bitter
contest between Pine Knott and
Whitley City, as to which is the
county seat of McCreary county.
Sampson is Whitley City man
and his accusers are Pine Knot
men.
1t is not probable that the Leg
islature will allow itself to become
involved in the McCreary county
fuss, unless indeed, it gets into it
with a view of wipiI1g McCreary
county off the map, which is ex-
actly what should be done.

TUESDAY, NOV. A, 1913.
TWO CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS

At the coming election the peo-
pie of Kentucky will be given the
privilege of voting on two amend
ments to the constitution. One
of them is a proposition to allow
convicts to labor upon public
roads and bridges.
The question as to what should
be done with convict labor is one
that has engaged the attention of
the world. They can not be kept
in idlenesS in the penitentiary
walls and whatever they do in
the way of labor necessarily
comes into competition with the
outside labor. The same would
be true if they should work on
the public highways and bridges.
There is no way that you can
work a convict either inside or
outside of the walls that his la
Dor will not be in competition to
the laborerS outside of the walls.
So it matters very little whether
he is worked inside or out, the
result is the same to the people.
Therefore, the question must be
settled from other considerations.
If it is best for the health of the
convictS to have them on the
outside, or if it will have a tend
ency to bring about better con-
ditions in the minds and in the
conduct of the prisoners them
selves, it would appear that there
would be no reasonable objection
to having them on the outside on
the public works of the state.
But it must be borne in mind
that history repeats itself, and
probably will do so in this in
stance. Heretofore, conVictS have
been hired out to public contract
orS at mere pittance, the result
being that the contractors get
convict labor at practically moth
ing and thus makes it highly
detrimental to outside labor.
Our judgment is that it is a
matter that should be left large
ly to the discretion of the board
of prison commissioners.
The second constitutional
amendment relates to taxation.
In this there is a great danger.
The present provision of the
constitution requires all property
to be taxed at a uniform rate at
its fair, reasonable, cash value.
1t is a rule of equity that cannot
be improved. The object of the
constitutional amendment is not
to submit plan which would be
more equitable than that, but the
whole scheme is one by which
real estate shall be made to bear
the entire burden of taxation or
practically so. We have hereto
fore expressed the opinion that
any change in the constitution
on this point would result disas-
trously to the great body of the
people and with this declaration
,.lo have r,otLir,o f,,rtho,. 70 -.
