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.
II 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 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 s65S,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
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1915-05-01

least twenty-five millions of dollars
In the counties where, these roads are
built.
This is 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 IL they
were near railroad station, for the
reason that IL 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 tie 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
new era 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 II in less time, with
more ease, less cost and greater profit
than ever heretofore.
While good roads are more neces-
sary and of more economic importance
than possibly any other civic improve
ment to which the people of the State
can turn their attention, there are
other important things to be done.
Such wholesome tax reforms must be
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1915-05-01

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.
II is time for every tax payer to de-
mand that his Representative in the
Legislature consider these facts. II Is
time for them to call a halt to the
destruction, or threatened destruction,
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 a 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 II out
of debt; lowering the burden of taxa
ton; placing 1t where 1t 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 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.

Mother Ia really a good sport. You

as sort OF combination angel and

her endlessly and thoughtlessly. You

not noticed how near you have come

that she loves fun as much as your

W|NDLE WANTS DEBATE
WITH EARNEST WILLIE
EDITOR OF THE ICONOCLAsT
EMPLOYED TO SPEAK BY
SALOON INTERESTS

The Star is informed that man
named Windle or Windell, editor of
the Iconoclast of Chicago, is here, or
will be here, and wants to debate the
wet or dry issue with Mr.. Upshaw. If
arrangements are made, the debate
will be from the bandstand on the
public square tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Upshaw had made his arrange
nnents to leave for Savannah on one
of the night trains, but if he can do
SO will remain until tomorrow to
meet the orator of the saloon inter-
ests.
The Star is not sure that it has the
wet mans name right. He is COM
paratively unknown. The Iconoclast
was founded by Brann, who gave it
a national character. It's subsequent
editors have been feeble limitations of
Brann, possessing some of mis- power
of vituperation but little of his gen.
ius. We are informed that Windell
has been employed by the saloon in
terests to speak in the west, and now
comes to try to help them hold their
shaking stronghold in Central Flor
ida.
Mr.. Upshaw, by the way, has not
been employed by anyone. The pro-
hibitionists pay his expenses, but he
works for the love of the cause.

LOOSE PLACE IN
THE DAVIS LAW
BOOZE CAN BE DISPENSED DAY
AND NIGHT IN CLUB BARS

Jacksonville, Dec. 3.-A special to
the Metropolis from Miami says:
Should Dade county again be voted
wet, Intoxicating liquors can be dis
pensed day or night in open club
cars to members and nonresident
guests, and the Davis package law
will not touch them. This declara-
tion was made by Judge j. L. Bill
ingsley, of the criminal court of re-
cord, in an address before a large
gathering of voters at Lemon City.
The judge argued on the side of the
"drys," counselling the voters to vote
mo- in the special election next
month.
"The Davis law does not touch the
clubs" said Judge Billingsley, "and
when saloon turns itself into club
it can dispense liquors right and left. :"
He declared that the 1913 law govern
ing clubs was not repealed by the
Davis law, and that while the 1918
law governing clubs says that no dis
pensation of liquor shall be deemed a
sale, the Davis law specifically uses
not theory
the words "sell' and "sold." "This is
not theory" said the Judge, "but a
cold question of law and fact"

DRY DUNNELLON
Is Much More Orderly Town than It
Was Few Years Ago

To the Voters of Marion County:
Dunnellon used to be considered
the worst town in Florida for its
size, and don't doubt it. God only
knows the gambling, drunkenness and
killing that went on there during the
years that the saloons were there.
Now, / am proud to say, Dunnellon is
what / call a model town. Since the
saloons have put put out, my business
causing me. to have to be in Dunnel-
lon on Saturday nights to collect after
the men are paid off about half the
Saturday nights for the past two
years, l have not seen any drinking
or drunken man in town all that
time.
| have a son-in-law living in Dun
Mellon and who is in the mercantile
business and hardly ever closes up his
store until eleven and twelve o'clock
on Saturday nights, and he tells me
that he doesn't remember seeing a
drunken man since the bars were
closed. Now my friends if closing
the saloons will do so much for Dun
mellon, it will do the same thing for
Ocala, if the people will only en-
force the law, as it has been done in
that town.
Now, my dear friends, I beg of
you for humanity's sake to go to the
polls and vote dry ticket and help
put out of business the worst thing
this side of hell to drag men down to
ruin, cause poor women and dear
little children to suffer.
