TOM RHEA HAS PROVEN FRIEND
TO TAXPAYERS OF KENTUCKY
Played Important Part In Forcing Large Corpor-
atoms to Pay Their Just Proportion Of Taxes
and is Best Qualified In Every Way for
Authorship

1t is natural and proper that the
Democrats of Kentucky should take
deep interest in the selection of their
candidate for Governor on August T.,
but they should not allow that race
90 overshadow all others and cause
4hem to neglect or overlook other i'm
Dortant races. Especially should they
give their attention to the Auditors
race, for that position ranks in i'm
portance next to that of Governor.
The Auditor is the head of the fiscal
affairs of the state and the head of
the important Board Of Franchise AS
sessments which fixes the franchise
valuations upon which all corporations
doing business in the state must pay
taxes. The work of that board is of
far-reaching Importance to the people,
and, above all others, the Auditor, who
presides as chairman of the board,
should be man we'll equipped and
trained for its difficult duties, and one
who Is incorruptible and fearless,
ready to compel the corporations to
pay their just part of the revenues Of
the state, without being unjust to any
corporation or persons.
Such man is Thos. S. Rhea, who is
asking the nomination from the Demo
cratic party, and there is not a man
in Kentucky better qualified for the
position or more deserving Of the sup
port of the Democrats AS State Treas
urer for nearly four years in the pres.
ent administration, he has been mem
Der of that board and a leading spirit
in its splendid work With his intel
1igent and active assistance, the fran
echise assessments upon corporations
have been so increased that the state
is now receiving several hundred thou
sand dollars more in revenue every
year than ever before. The board has
increased the franchise valuation upon
r. G. Phillips, Frankfort, KY.
f132,000,000. Four of the largest rail
road companies, whose assessments
were raised, have carried it into the
courts; and. if the courts uphold the
action OF the board, the increased rev
anue, together with the large increase
from other corporations, which have
not contested the raises, will be q
great help to the taxpayers, and in &
reasonable time aid materially in pay
ing of the Indebtedness of the state.
In the four years of this administra
ton, the increase of revenues from the
increased assessments of those corpor
atoms, which have not made contests
will alone amount to sum to the state
far In excess of a million dollars; anC
the increase Of revenues from tn,
same sources to the counties, cities

The candidates are beginning
to hustle around in this part of
the world. Somebody is going
to be defeated.
A new roof is being put on our
courthouse. Two new buildings
are going up in our town, in ad-
dition to the Graded School build
ing. Jamestown is coming, but
1t has not got here yet. It's
coming. Look out for it when
we get the Dixie Highway!
We are told that the Dixie is
as good for Russell as corn is
for a pig. We all believe it to
be true. We don't know any
DIETER than to believe anything
we are told. We can almost
hear the rumbling of the auto
mobiles going north and south.
we can see our lands making
double per acre, for we are told
it will do it, and we all believe
it to be true. Our lands will
then be listed higher and it will
produce better and oh! what good
times we will have when we gel
the Dixie Highway. Taxes will
not be any higher when we gel
the Dixie.

to about two million dollars for the
same period. Should the courts up
hold the action Of the board in regard
to the four railroad companies, 1t
would add about one million dollars
more to the state, and about two mil
lion dollars more to the counties,
cities, towns and school districts in the
same four years.
No man has had more TO do with
this great work than Tom Rhea, and
no man now seeking nomination for
a state Office is better prepared than
he to render useful and valuable serv-
ice to the state and to the people in
the next four years. No other man
seeking this Office has ever had the
Some of his enemies, at the beginning
of this campaign, undertook to crit
icise him and his record as an official,
but they had to quickly abandon such
attacks, because the published facts
clearly disproved their misrepresenta-
tions. In the next administration, Mr..
Rhea would prove himself tower Of
strength to the state in the conduct
of it's revenues and fiscal affairs.
AS a Democrat and party worker,
there is not a blot upon his record.
Four years ago, when he was on the
state ticket as the nominee for Treas
urer, he added great strength to the
ticket, as was shown by the increased
majority of $500 given in his judicial
district alone. Last fall, in the Sen
atorial and Congressional races, he
was chosen by the Democratic State
Committee as Campaign Chairman,
and under his intelligent and success
full management and organization, the
Democratic majority in the state was
increased to 32,000l
Tom Rhea has always been true to
ilthe party and its nominees. He has
never bolted nor sulked when things
did not go his way in primaries or con
ventions. The Democratic party in the
campaign this fall needs him upon the
ticket. No other man can give II
greater strength or do more to insure
its success in the November election
