IN OUR OWN STATE
House Gets Busy

~ ''hN' W Ut
Frankfort has shown of what stuff
il is made this last week. The bill
providing for the statewide prohi-
bition was passed by a vote of 6O-32.
This bill calls for an election on the
liquor question in 1915. (Since killed
in the Senate)
In addition to this the bill which
submits an amendment for woman
suffrage was defeated by vote of
5l-29.
The Child Labor bill, previously
passed by the Senate, was passed
1i-i3.
A bill forbidding the sale of cigar
cites to minors was passed by vote
of SO to Z.
The Senate has passed bill pro-
vding special levy of five cents on
the hundred dollars for the purpose
of constructing good roads. The bill
had already passed the House.
Further news of the Legislature
will be found in other columns.
New Building for Hindman
Preparations are under way for
the erection of $4,000 building for
the Settlement Mission School at
Hindman, Knott County.
This is doing a good work and all
news of its Improvement is good
news.
Only i29 Saloons in Lexington
Lexington is to have seven less
saloons this year than last, accord
ing to the report of the License Of
ficer. This causes loss of $500
for the city treasury, but we are of
the opinion that the city could well
afford many other such losses.
The new local option bill makes
it possible for Fayette County to
hold a liquor election next fall. 1t
is hoped that the disgrace of the
Blue Grass capital may be wiped
out.

Many companies are withdrawing

BILE or not. The Governor declines
to call special session of the leg

Kentucky Sues Seven Harvester
Companies
OF great interest to every Ken
tuckian is the case of the Common
wealth against the International
Harvester Co., The Mccormick Har-
vester Co., the Deering Harvester
Co., the Milwaukee Harvester Co.,
the Champion Machine Co., the d. M.
Osborne Co., and the Plano Machine
Co. which has been carried TO the
United States Supreme Court. At
torney General Garnett has been in
Washington for several days repre-
senting the state. The charge
against the companies is that these
companies entered a pool, trust,
combine, agreement confederation
or understanding for the purpose of
regulating, controlling and fixing
the price of harvesting and farm
machinery and to regulate the cost
of such articles above their real
value"
The companies allege that the
charge is unconstitutional because
it does not afford equal protection Of
the laws. This calls into question
the law which permits farmers to
form pools as discriminating be-
tween manufacturers and farmers.
The State takes the view that while
farmers may pool to secure better
prices than they could obtain selling
separately, they are prohibited from
combining to enhance the cost of
any article above its real value.
