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 tEem 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. 10y
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 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 own
er nor any other one class. May this
new dawn of 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 in our legis.
lation.

An increase of at least 500 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-
tutions 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 for
the building of Good Roads in their
respective sections. This year alone
the fund amounts to $65S,220. This
sum will be increased by levies in
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 that
the expenditure of the two million
dollars this year will increase the
value of property to the extent of at

least twenty-five millions of dollars
in the counties where these roads are
built.
This is a splendid beginning. What
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 il they
were near 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 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 1t is easy to drive and haul as
compared with the old roads. To haul
a 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 sections
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 era of prosperity in Kentucky.
With the markets thus of ready ac-
cess, the farmer can market his prod
ucts of all kinds to better advantage
in every way-do it in less time, with
more ease, less cost and greater profit
than ever heretofore.

sary and of more economic Importance

AS Viewed by Arcadia Poet.

E. D. Smith is our senator now,
But for eight-cent cotton the farmer
must dig and plow.
Yet they seemed as happy as could be
AS they shouted ED Smith is TIE man
for mel"
Ed Smith is back in Washington,
But the poor old farmer ne has for
gotten;
Yet he promised them when he
stumped the State
Eight-cent cotton would not be our
fate;
But he made a mistake as sure as
you're living,
For right around eight is what they're
giving.
Senator Smith can laugh and howl,
And the poor farmer can kick and
growl;
Hard times, nard tunes IS all we can
see,
And Senator Smith is not the man
for me.
Cole. L. Blease, you are just and true,
And we are sorry we did not vote for
you;
We firmly believe upon the honor Of
man
You are as noble as in the land,
And if from earth we pass not away
We will vote for you in coming day;
And if We do depart this life,
We will meet you where there is no
strife,
For man like you, with noble iteart
Will not from his God depart.

I have had something to say from
time to time about the dog muzzling
ordinance, and tried to impress une
importance of its enforcement, but it
has seemed to me- to be all unavailing.
read the other day in one of the mag
azines few lines which may explain
1T all, and am going to pass them on

he and Chief Duncan have been try

ENCOURAGE HOG RAISING.

:. We notice from the Anderson Intel
igencer that one of the banks Of An
derson-the Farmers and Merchants
has offered to lend money to young
men on easy terms and long time and
at a low cost of interest to encourage
the young men of the county to raise
hogs. The money is to be used in the
purchase of hogs to begin the raising
and the bank will lend money on the
same terms to young farmers who are
willing to engage in cattle raising.
We take it for granted also that the
bank will let this money to the young
men without endorsement and without
a long string of mortgages because
otherwise it would not be of much
belp. 1t is to be loaned on the per-
sonal integrity and manhood of the
young men who are to engage in hog
and cattle raising and for the pur-
pose of encouraging such industries.
That is the spirit our money insti-
futions should exhibit. 1t is worth
more to the county and the building
of the farms than supervisors and
agents of any or all sorts. In addi-
ton to the financial help and the en-
couragement which it gives to the
young farmers of Anderson county,
there is another side to the PROPOSE
ton if it is as we understand it, that
the money is loaned on the individual
integrity of the.young farmer. 1t will
give him to understand that his in
dividual integrity and manhood is an
asset and valuable one and that is
a lesson he should learn early in life
and it will be worth much alway. We
have gone so far in the direction OF
not being willing to trust any one that
the idea is prevalent that the only
thing fiat counts is material-money
or its equivalent,
Here is the proposition OF this bank
and the plan is worth while consid-
ering by other financial institutions
It is better than prizes or gifts. II
helps the young man to start and
gives him encouragement and oppor-
tunity. That is what we need, encour-
agement and opportunity.
''In order to encourage hog raising
in Anderson county, Tie Farmers and
Merchants bank will be pleased to
loan money to young farmer boys tc
buy a pair of hogs of good strain OF
blood and in this way enable you to
make a beginning at raising hogs. We
will also be glad to aid you in getting
cattle of good stock to raise from. We
will also aid you as far as we can in
finding and purchasing the hogs and
cattle. We will loan you this money
at very moderate rate of interest
The business if properly looked after
will be self-sustaining in little while
and then will become a source OF
profit"
The Farmers and Merchants bank
of Anderson doesn't know that The
Herald and News is going to mention
this plan. We notice the cashier is
a Mr.. Brownlee. He is going along
the right line.

Why should We muzzle all the dogs
And let the gossips go?"

Yes, TIE gossips are like what the
Bible says about the proverhial poor
i believe it was the Bible-if not
may be some other good book-tne
poor ye have with you alway-and
the gossips, yea, We have them al
way and they are always busy-that
sweet little morsel they love to roll
under their old tongues, and the Won
der is that their tongues do not get
sore, but, you know, l rather enjoy
these creatures-they are amusing
and are mere for some good purpose,
or they wouldn't be. So when I read
the following line from a sinners
diary the other day decided it was
best to live on and be cursed rather
than die off and be mourned, because
they cease mourning in this day so
soon that it wouldn't last long any
way. But here is the nugget of wis
dom from bae diary of sinner: $50
