hope of the revenues of the State
equalling current expenses, including
Confederate pensions, unless taxes are

1t Is obvious, therefore, that the
next Legislature must either increase
the tax rate or It must reduce ex-
penses. and this leaves out OF consid-
Grafton the accumulated debt. An In
crease in the State tax of five cents
may carry temporarily the cost OF
Confederate pensions. Such tax
means that taxes upon all real estate

81 mean that you people ought to
be busy night and day trying to get
your representative and your state
senator to fight for a law so you
might levy a tax of five cents on

Aid for road building in every county
in Kentucky. | mean that a lot OF
counties like yours are unwilling to
put up a little money to get much
larger amount for road building

to pay you somewhere between $1,000

That's exactly the point was
making when | asked why you didn't
get the rest of the state to help you

many big business houses, corpora

no money to build them with. There
are only four counties in Kentucky

of a law passed, and put up $1,000
what'd Louisville have to pay toward
road building?'
LET me see. | believe Louisville
has an assessed value of about $780,
900 900. Five cents on the hundred
makes 500. 900; and Louisville hasn't

DARING ISLANDERS
RESCUE SAILORS
Schooner kelIogg's Crew,
Near Death in Gale, Taken
Off by Raratongans

Thes chooner o. NJ. kellogg, which
returned today from a six months
trading cruise in the south seas, was
abandoned by all hands June 25 dur
ing a terrific storm. The vessel was
anchored off Raratonga. A gale caused
the big three master to drag anchor.
The vessel dragged until the stern
was almost touching the Jagged coral
reef. Seas were breaking over the
decks and as a last resort Captain
Charles H. Lunn set signals of dis
tress.
Out through the stor mcame the
Raratonga lifeboat, a bit of cockle-
shell, manned by natives. The life
boat made two trips before all hands
were safe ashore. The handling of
the Hfeboat, says Captain Lunn, was
the most magnificent exhibition of
seamanship he ever witnessed. The
Raratongans. he says, are the finest
boatmen in the south seas, and that
trip was one. of the most ticklish they
ever tackled
The storm subsided next morning
and the crew returned to the ship
on which Tom. the cat had been in
full charge for II hours.
