enty-five years, has once more en-.
tered on comprehensive and intel
ligent campaign of road building. A
hundred years ago Kentucky was the
first State to grant aid for roads.
The roads throughout the Bluegrass
stand as present-day reminder of
the wisdom of that course. This time
Kentucky is not going to stop with
the Bluegrass. Her aid is to be ex-
tended to every one of her 120 eoun.
ties.
This aid comes none too soon.
Eighty-nine of her counties are pau.
pers. Sixty-six of them are without
mile of publicly bui road.
When the work now begun is fin.
ished, every county seatin Kentucky
will be the ce ter of not less than
four roads. leading from county S, at
to county seat, from State line to
State line.
Good roads touch the life of the
individual. the community, the coun-
ty and the State, the mill, the mark
ct, the school, the church. They in
crease the value of the land and its
products. They make for a better &C.
quaintance and with better acquaint.
ance comes the fellowship which
is essential to good citizenship. The
Pennyrile is no longer to be strang-
er to the Purchase, the mountains to
the Bluegrass and Louisville strang-
to them all. Separation has made
for suspicion. Transportation will
teach US what we have long needed
to learn. that we are all Ken tuckians
under the skin.
The one great enterprise in Ken
lucky today in which State and coun-
ty are joined is the building of roads.
In it lie the States hope and oppOr-
tunity. The administration of Gov.
has made these things
possible. 1t is certain that it will
help to make them actual by seeing
o it that the State Bureau of Roads |
S equipped with the men and means
o give to every county, that asks,
adequate supervision.
If any other administration h as
one the State greater service, it has
OF been so recorded. --Louisvi lie

But little business was transacted
at the Council meeting Friday night,
the time being taken up with hear

Allen q. Fisher. who has complet-
ed an examination of the city's books
for 1914. submitted his report, stat.

of the Tenth street sewer. The city

One of the tobacco men who keeps
posted on current events says that
the decrease in the price of tobacco
is just about equal to the increase of
transportation charges in ships con-
.trolled by Great Britain. In other
words the "a cents apound the pro-
ducers are losing goes to the ship
owners. The price of tobacco a.
broad remains unchanged. The
Presidents Ship Purchase Bill is in
tended to save this money to the
people, which amounts to many mil

To this NAV also be added the val
ne of the stalks, which were used for
fertilizing land. The yield under
the highly scientific system of cult
walton followed by Mr.. Carroll was
very large. Under ordinary cult
tivation 1900 to 1900 pounds lbs is
considered a fine yield, so it will be
seen that Mr.. CAROLS experimental
acre yielded almost double the norm.
al crop.
The price of s cents for Jugs and
leaf was about the top price this
season for crops sold at a round
price. The leaf was very fine and
the Jugs were good quality and a
small per cent of the crop. The
profit was reduced by rental cost
of $1,000 for the land, but Mr.. Car
roll of course selected one of the best
acres of his fine farm. The crop was
of sufficient value to let the profits
of one crop pay for the land upon
which it was raised. The net profit
was in round numbers 400 per cent
of the capital invested in its produc.
ton. This would have been material
ly increased if the plat had been a full
acre with no missing hills. When it
is compared with a yield of 10 bar
rels of corn at at $3.50 barrel or 25 I
bushels of wheat at a $1.5Oa bushel, |
it will be seen that the yield of to-
bacco was highly profitable, even at /
the low price the crop brought.

The British foreign Office says the
use of a neutral flag to escape at
tack, without investigation, is well
established practice under the rules
of war, and that to destroy ship
with noncombatant crew and cargo,
as Germany announced her intention
of doing, is nothing less than an act
of piracy of the high seas.

THE DEBT IS PAID.
A Louisville Newspaper Pays
High Compliment to
Gov. McCreary.

There is no other man in Kentucky's
political history that has been more
frequently and generously honored
by it's people than James B. Nc
Creary, whose second term as Gov
ernor is now drawing to close. But
when the score is FOO t ID" up, Ken.
tuck is going to discover that no 9TH
er man elected by her people o pub
lie office has ever more fully dis
charged his debt. This may seem a
strong statement, but there are ( cts
to warrant it.
1t remained for Gov. McCreary's
administration to give force ana eff!
feet to constitutional amen lment
adopted in 1909, empowering the
State to grant aid to the counties in
the building of roads. At the 1914
session of the General Assembly there
was passed an act imposing a State
tax of five cents on the 500 and pro
viding for State aid and supervision
in the building of roads. This act
became law with the Governors
approval and endo' sement.
Under that tax but four counties
pay to the State more than they re-
ceive from it. These are the four
richest counties in the State, con-
tanning the cities which will profit
most largely if territory tributary to
them is made prosperous. The 9TH
ar ll6 counties receive from the
State 81 for every 81 raised by them
through local taxation. popular sub
'cription or bond issue, for the build |
ing of roads. In addition they are
given State supervision in the build.
ing of their roads. That is, the State
full responsibility that the
roads built with the joint funds of
county and State shall be built, not
only honestly, but intelligently.
Furthermore, the law provides
The first roads to be given State aid
shall be these leading from county
seat to county seat in conformity
with comprehensive scheme of con-
'truction, which, when completed.
will give to Kentucky system, not
,nly of countrywide but Statewide
'oads as well.
Such is the law in brief. What has
)een the result?
Already thirty.three counties have
lsked for State aid and supervision.
Three others have voted bonds to the
mount of 100000. Seven other s
counties will vote within the next :
wo months on bond issues. 1t is a !
afe prediction that, in five of these
counties. the issue will carry. Be- 4

Tax LeaguerS
Hanging On
Officers Absent.---Next Meeting Saturday,
Afternoon, Nov. 6.

Members present at the taxpay-
ers league meeting Monday night
discussed the proceedings of the
Kootenai County Taxpayers assc-
citation meeting at Coeur d'Alene
two weeks before, and criticised
the alleged employment of twelve
field deputies at $3 day each for
three months to assess the pro-
perty of the county. Opinions
we're expressed that active and
competent men should have COM
pleted the work in much less time
and at consequent saving of con-
siderable expense. The system
was condemned and township
organization, wherein each town.
ship would elect its own assessor
and collect its own taxes, was sug-
gested as the remedy.
Members regretted the small at
tendance owing to threatening
weather but felt that the league
had accomplished something and
could be made an invincible
power in politics for the good OF
the people if the voters would
unite in it and through it secure
relief by legislation.
The next meeting of the Rath'
drum league will be the afternoon
of the FIRST Saturday in November
| Concerning the taxpayers meet
ing Monday evening, Mr.. N
Nelson authorizes the following
statement:
| "Wc met in session at the regu
lar hour and discussed as far as WI
conscienciously could 60 in regard
to county matters, but we ha'
obstacles in the way that we feun'
there not even the president no
the vice president to lead US il
our efforts to remedy what almos
all our taxpayers are kicking about
u "But Mr.. Nelson reports that h
has done at least one good deed I
the people of the community, an
i of that he is telling. He has ag
y tated the good roads system
d namely graveling our roads, for tn
last two years, until he thinks tn;
he has walked up both our con
missioner and road overseer, an
it makes him so proud that he fee
