THE AUTOMOBILE LICENSE THEFT

State Inspector Goodpaster has
filed a report showing that Is;
applications for automobile Ii
Censes between September 1915
and June 18th, 1914 have been
altered and the State defrauded
of over $1,000. This amount was
made good by Commissioner
Byars, who disciaims any know.
ledge of the alterations of the ap-
plications, and who claims to be
entirely innocent of any wrongful
conduct.
Thieving in public offices at
Frankfort seems to have become
fad. Nor is it confined to any
political party. The Democratic
party furnished Dick Tate and
Judge Booze and adds to the list
some other unknown and yet un-
discovered culprit. The Repub-
lican party had its scandals and
shortages.
It's peculiar indeed that state
officials elected from the state at
large and selected for the high
responsible positions they occu-
py, should act dishonesty or that
they should permit dishonesty in
their departments. The oppor
tunity now comes to Gov. Nc
Creary to have instituted a most
rigid inquiry and ferret out the
guilty party and see that the law
is promptly and efficiently ap-
piled. The parole of Judge Booze
was mistake which will be
charged against the Democratic
party. The weak handling Of
the mismanagement by the re
publican party is justly charged
to it.
If the law is enforced with all
of its power and rightly in the
present instant, much will be done
to break up this stealing of the
states funds. We expect Gov
McCreary to deal swiftly and tc
the full letter of the law in thi.
instance, and show the people Of
Kentucky that its taxpayers shall
no longer be robbed and thai
the Offices shall be conduc ter
with dignity and honesty.
By looking after the business
of the State closely and by pro
tecting its citizens from furthe
robbery and imposition, he cal
close his career in a blaze of glo

MEETING A DEFICIT

President Wilson has address
ed the Senate and House on the
situation in the United States
brought about by the European
war. The imports have fallen
off to such an extent that this
country is faced with a large def
cit, to supply which the President
has recommended a war revenue
bill which is thought will pro-
duce one hundred million annu-
ally. This is deemed necessary
in order to prevent cessation of
governmental works, and in or
der to prevent an anticipated
great depression of business in
this country.
1t appears to us that the office
holding class should be diminish
ed if there is nothing for them
to do, and all works which are
not absolutely necessary to the
maintenance of the government
should be held up until business
resumes. The people at large
are not concerned in this meas
ure for the reason that. they will
buy home products and home
manufactures instead of buying
the imported goods, and the
money of the people will be kept
in circulation by an interchange
between themselves.
1t would be just as well to dis
miss a large number of useless
clerks rather than to tax the PEG.
