An increase OF al least $50 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 heavier burden upon the land
owners and other tax payers.
More than 100 counties have al
ready levied a 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.
II 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. II Is also estimated that
the expenditure OF the two million
dollars this year will increase the
value of property 70 the extent OF at

least twenty-five millions of dollars
in the counties where these roads are
built
This is 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 If they
were near railroad station, for the
reason that II 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 II is easy to drive and haul as
compared with the old roads. To haul
a large load over a good road, even
twenty miles, Is easier and quicker
than to haul 1t 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 gr' atty 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 FL kinds to better advantage
in every way-do IL 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

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.
IL 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

Fruit Growers
To Assist CannelV

The annual meeting of the Ashland
Fruit and Produce Association was
held Saturday afternoon in the coun-
Gil chamber of the city hall. Some
fifty fruit grawers were present.
President Prescott called the meet
ing to order and Secretary Hunter
read the list of stockholders, and 5S7
shares were found to be represented
in person or by proxy.
The members present then selected
J. B. Ware for permanent chairman
of the meeting.
The minutes of the last annual
meeting were read and approved.
Manager Briggs then made very
interesting and instructive report of
the associations business for 1914,
showing the approximate loss on the
cannery business for the season was
SIS in spite of the unusually unfav-
orable conditions this past year. A
summary of this report will be pub
ISneQ later In the llQlnSS.
Upon Mr. Frohbach's suggestion
and motion $500 was voted to meet
the expense of packing and shipping
fresh fruit and berries to the Pana-
ma exposition this year, as an adver-
tising appropriation.
1t was also unanimously voted that
the growers of this part of the valley
heartily cooperate with DR.. Sweden
burg, or other person, in the operat-
ing of modern cannery at Ashland.
The directors of the association by
formal vote were instructed to take
such legal steps as they deemed nee
essary to collect any delayed indebt-
edness owing to the organization by
members.
The amendment to the constitution
which had been formally noticed in
the Tidings was passed by unanimous
Vote, thus giving each member the
right not only to vote his own stock
at any stockholders meeting, but by
proxy to vote the stock of one other
stockholder, and only one.
The meeting then elected three di-
rectors, as follows: For two years,
]. R. McCracken and j. w. Millner;
for one year, ]. P. Snyder. These
gentlemen, with R. P. Cornelius and
w. G. Prescott, comprise the board
OF directors for the present year.

was signed up. These districts will
be visited again and the signing up
of large acreage is anticipated.

Pillage is formally forbidden. This
is prohibition against the looting of
captured towns. against acquiring
booty at the expense of private proper
