TWO AMENDMENTS OF
ESPECIAL IMPORTANCE
To be Voted Upon Next Novem.
Der Each Is a Worthy
Matter.

The Elizabethtown News says:
Two amendments to the Constitu-
lion will be submitted TO the voters
at the November election. n ,hei
importance to the general ,blic
they overshadow everything else in
the election. The first. of these
amendments is to permit certain,
class of oonvicts to be worked on
the roads. This was in the last Re.
publican State platform and the de-
mand for it was so great among tile
people that Gov. McCreary came cut
in favor OF it upon the stump. The
work of making roads with convict
labor is no untried- experiment At
least a dozen States are thus util-
izing the prisoners of the State and
everywhere with the very best re-
suits. No State where il has been
tried has ever abandoned il and in
the South especially nearly all the
good roads constructed in the last
decade have been made with con-
vict labor. The sentiment In Ken
lucky seems to be Overwhelmingly
in favor OF the adoption OF the
amendment and 1t can only fail by
those who favor 1t failing to vote.
The other amendment is a pro-
vision which will permit the Legis-
lature to revise our system Of as
sessment and taxation. AS our
present system is so inefficient and
SO ineffective. the State could hardly
worst itself in adopting this amend
ment for a change. The voters will
take no chance In having a bad law
put upon the statute books II
unequal or unjust taxation for II
the amendment Is adopted In No
vember. There is for the first time to
Kentucky a referendum attached TO
the measure. A vote for the amend
ment is simply to give the Legis-
lature a chance to improve our tax
ing system with the law complete to |
be submitted to the voters at the |
election 1914 for their
approval. We feel SO absolutely |
sure that the people will not vote
for an unjust or an ineneient tar
law that we think It wise TO vote

and give the Legislature an oppor-
