least twenty-five millions of dollars
in the counties where these roads are
built.
This is a splendid beginning. What
a difference this will make to the land
owners, the farmers and all others
who make use of county roads, wheth-
er for business or pleasure. There
are many fine farms in Kentucky 20
or more miles from the railroad that
are not worth half as much as if they
were near a railroad station, for the
reason that it is too far to haul farm
products to market over the old-fash-
toned dirt roads, which are practically
impossible for nearly half of the year.
What a difference, though, when
these same farms shall have been con-
nected with the railroad or the mar
ket with a good State road over
which it is easy to drive and haul as
compared with the old roads. To haul
large load over good road, even
twenty miles, is easier and quicker
than to haul it over five miles of the
old time winter mud road. These
good roads, therefore, will bring the
distant farm nearer to the market
and add greatly to the profits of the
products of the farm.
Under the supervision of competent
state and county road engineers, coun
ty seats and the most populous section:
of the State will be connected by i'm
proved public highways, bringing the
church, school and market nearer the
door of every family. Then will come
a new erS of prosperity in Kentucky
With the markets thus of ready &C
cess, the farmer can market his prod
ucts of all kinds to better advantage
in every way-do it in less time, will
more ease, less cost and greater prof
than ever heretofore.
While good roads are more neces
sary and of more economic importanc,
than possibly any other civic improve
ment to which the people of the Stat
can turn their attention, there ar
other important things to be done

An increase of at least $40 an acre
on the value of all lands adjoining i'm
proved roads built under the new
State Aid Law is estimated by expert
calculators who have gone into the
subject very thoroughly.
The building of these public high
ways will also increase all other lands
in proportion in every county and dis
trict.
This most notable forward step will
prove the greatest blessing that has
ever come to the land owners of Ken
lucky.
1t is the intent of this law that all
taxable property shall bear its pro-
portionate burden of taxation for this
State Fund for road building.
1t was not intended that the land
owner, though possibly receiving the
greatest benefit, should bear the great
est part of the tax burden. Such great
sources of revenue as our railroad
properties, distilleries, financial insti
buttons and manufacturing enterprises
will bear their just part, as well as
all other taxable property. The throt
Ting or Gripping of any of these great
resources by hostile legislation must
lay a heavier burden upon the land
owners and other tax payers.
More than 100 counties have al
ready levied tax upon them
selves in order to take advan
tage of this State Aid Fund fol
the building of Good Roads in theil
respective sections. This year alone
the fund amounts to $685. Thi:
sum will be increased by levies il
these counties so that the sum ex
pended will probably exceed two mil
lion dollars.
1t is estimated that at least 5000
miles, of good roads will be completed
under this new State Aid Law within
the next Is years, costing when com
pleted approximately thirty millions
of dollars. 1t is also estimated tina
the expenditure of the two million
dollars this year will increase tn,
value of property to the extent of a
The Climax-Madisonian. (Richmond, Madison County, Ky.) 1914-1917, 1915-05-05

the expenses of government. These
expenses have to be met out of the
taxes paid on the property of our
citizens.
Any legislation that would tend to
cripple or render less valuable any of
the great tax-paying industries of the
State, will necessarily. transfer the
burden to the farmer, merchant and
home owner.
1t is time for every tax payer to de-
mand that his Representative in the
Legislature consider these facts. 1t is
time for them to call halt to the
destruction, or threatened destruction,
by hostile legislation, of property in
terests in the State from which we
derive our greatest revenues.
In other words, industries and en-
terprises that pay the largest taxes
and make possible the great benefits
to be derived from good roads, good
schools, and improvements in agicrul-
ture, must not be destroyed or driven
from the State.
Good roads bring the country folk
and city folk into closer contact
means broader gagged, hand-in-hand
attitude toward public matters, toward
public good. May our legislators and
every citizen of the Commonwealth
look forward to, plan and work togeth-
er for a greater Kentucky; to conserve
every source of revenue for meeting
the States obligations, keeping it out
of debt; lowering the burden of taxa
/ ton; placing it where it belongs and
not throw the burden of the land OWL
! er nor any other one class. May this
new dawn of a greater Kentucky for
ever put a stop to any movement that
would tend to cripple or destroy any
of our great industries.
Good Roads or no good roads, we
can never move forward and take our
place in the galaxy of great States
around and about us in progressive
ness, education, wealth and industry
until we have become constructive
rather than destructive il our legis
lation.

fire breaks out. 1t sweeps up one
street and down another, licking up
the buildings that lie in its path, and
finally envelopes the palace and the

vestige of the howell remains. The
flames have wiped out the structure
built of wood, hay and stubble; but
the palace stands. The marble in it
CLEANS the brighter and the gold and
silver shine the more resplendently.
The fire has proved each mans work
of what sort it is. The workman
whose structure stood the test re-
ceives his reward; while the other,
whose howell was swept away, suffers
loss, he himself being saved, yet so

The Only Foundation.

There is only one foundation upon
which a man can build a superstruc-
ture of works. That foundation is
Jesus Christ. This is a simple, ele-
mental truth, but one which needs a
deal of emphasis in these days, for
many have not yet discovered that
the divine order in grace is the same
order which holds in the putting up of
q building-the foundation first, then
the superstructure. Salvation first,
then works; and not works first and
then salvation For by grace have
We been saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
not of works, that no man should
glory" (Eph. rs, 9, R. W.
Some years ago at Catawissa, Pa,
after the destruction of "a bridge, the
contractor upon removing the first
pier, prior to the building of a new
one, discovered that underneath there
was no foundation. The pier simply
rested upon the bed of the river, and
when a heavy flood came the entire
structure was washed away. Yet, how
many there are who are building a
superstructure of works without the
real foundation, Jesus Christ!
We need to take heed how we build
thereon. For it is possible to build
on the, only foundation a palace or a
howell
This is a truth which concerns the
saved and not the unsaved. 1t is not
a matter of salvation, but of service
Between salvation and service there
is a wide difference. Salvation is a
work of God for us and in us and is
all of grace. Service is work which
those who are saved render unto God
and for which they shall receive re
ward, or shall suffer loss.
The Testing Day.
A testing day is coming when the
character of our work, as Christians
shall be made manifest.
THE day shall declare it, Not a
day of judgment for our sins, which
were judged in Jesus Christ on the
cross; but a day when our work shall
be made manifest. The day when the
Lord comes, who will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness, and
make manifest the counsels of the
hSaA 70 u NOE- 7.oJ- 4hSH Inc hIe
itself shall prove each mans work
of what sort it is. Not literal fire
but the holy, consuming energy OF
the Lord himself, for Our God is a
consuming fire."
If we have built only a howell, we
shall suffer loss, irretrievable loss,
but we shall be saved, yet SO as by
fire.

A GREAT COMMENTATOR
Abraham Ibn Ezra.

This Iben Ezra is we'll worthy of
the place Of honor alongside of the
other two, the poet and the prince
For Abraham probably was the
most versatile scholar and most bril-
liant wit of his time Unfortunate
ly his character was not the equal
of his mind, for he was unsteady
and vacillating, man of moods and
whims, contradictions and incon-
sistencies. Though occupied with the
most serious problems in the do
main of knowledge, his mind would
at times indulge in the most frivol-
GUS, flippant and eccentric sallies;
and while harboring views far in adj
vance of his age, he would yet hug
some of the most ridiculous super
stitions of his day.
Abraham Ibn Ezra was born in
Toledo, but spent the earlier part of
his life in Cordova. When quite
young his talents attracted the at
tention of his coreligionists, and the
leading men of the day, among them
Judah Halevi, were among his
friends and admirers. He drank
