Farmer S Corner.
Lincoln Highway Movement
Had a Small Beginning.

When the idea of a national
highway as a fitting memorial to
the first of our martyred presi-
dents, Abraham Lincoln, was
first conceived, it did not have
it's present continental scope,
and could not by any possibility
have passed through the city, as
1t is now firmly believed will be
the case, since the announce
ment recently of tentative rout-
ings for the great throughfare.
The proposal to have the memo
rial take the form of great
boulevard between Washington
and Baltimore, to be known as
the Lincoln Way" was defeat
ed by the adoption of the big
memorial building plan in Wash
ington, but neither the boule-
ward idea nor the name for it
was dropped. There has grown
out of this beginning the Lincoln
Highway association for. the pur-
pose of creating a great national
highway extending from New
York to San Francisco, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, to bear
the name of Lincoln and perpet-
uate his memory.
The amount fixed as the sum
needed for making the 1000
miles of boulevard estimated to
be necessary to connect up eX-
listing roads into a continuous
highway is $4,000, 900, of which
one-half, the association an.
nounces, has already been pledg.
ed in writing. 1t is confidential
ly believed that the remainder
can be raised. Senator Bourne
is trying hard to get the fedora
government to lend it's credit tc
the states for large issue Of
bonds for post roads, which
means all roads, and this may
yet prove a source of revenue
for the Lincoln Highway.
Much of the great highway
will be completed for the grea
pilgrimages of automobiles tt

Don't Compromise.

When the present State Board
Of Valuation and Assessments,
composed of State Auditor Henry
Bosworth, State Secretary G. F.
Crecelius and State Treasurer
Tom Rhea, fixed the assessments
Of the big public utility corpora
lions of the State at something
like their real value, there was
general rejoicing among the
plain people, who knew that for
years the railroads had paid TOO
LITTLE, while the people paid
TOO MUCH.
1t was not expected that the
railroads, with their high-priced
attorneys, would sit down quiet
ly and submit to the new assess
ments. 1t was expected they
would fight, and this they have
proceeded to do,
They have taken some of their
complaints into the Federal
courts and others into the State
courts, but the whole object is to
tie up the State and its finances
and secure a settlement.
One Of the evidences of this is
the subtle suggestion at this
time by friends of the big cor
porations that the State and the
corporations get together on a
compromise, whereby all litiga-
ton will be avoided, a tie-up Of
finances will not ensue and bust
ness may go on.
All very pretty and very nice,
but THERE SHOULD BE NO
COMPROMISE.
When the ordinary taxpayer is
assessed a sum greater than he
deems just and files suit in
court-if he can afford to do So
the State does not compromise.
1t fights right on.
And that is precisely what the
people expect the State to do.
They expect it to fight right on
to establish the justice of its
claims against these corpora.
tons. If the courts of the land
in their wisdom, decide against
the State, there will be nothing
to do but to submit. On the
other hand, if they decide fol

be in a position to collect its

taxes from the big concerns
without fear of dispute, delly or
litigation.
The Democrats of the State
nominated and the people elect
ed James Garrett as their chief
law officer, and they look to him
to fight these matters through
all the courts. And while he is
fighting they look to the State
Board of Valuation to stand pat.
Any compromise would be a step
backward. Kentucky Post.

BILL.

Bill is only a dog-a great big,
shaggy st, Bernard Dog. He's
but a dog, but he taught several
of us a lesson in friendship on
an Avondale (Cincinnati) car the
other night. AS the car rounded
the curve into Reading Road
from Mitchell Avenue the motor
man saw something dark lying
on the track. Of course he
stopped. Then Bill made his
first impression on those in the
car. He arose with a bound
from the car track and rushed tc
the sidewalk, barking all the
time. Everyone watched and
saw Bill take a mans hand ir
his mouth and lead him over t.
the car. When the man anC
dog came into the halo of light
that surrounded the car, it coulc
be plainly seen that his master
was blind.
Bill led him carefully to the
open car and parked out his hap
piness when he saw his master
comfortably seated. When the
car started, Bill never let thu
seat in which his master wa'
sitting get a foot ahead Of hi
faithful nose. He ran like ;
deer alongside the car, barking
to let his master know he wa
still on duty.
When they reached Shillit,
Street, the car stopped, and Bill
stood on guard while his maste
climbed out. The last seen o
the pair was when they disap
peared into the darkness, tn
mans hand resting gently o.
Bill's shaggy back and Bill lead
ing him home. Don Allen, il
