just how much lime is needed to counter
act that acidity. II is stated that the
benefits OF this discovery have been felt
by nearly thousand farmers who have
had samples of soil tested by the new
method and have been informed of the
percentage of acid. This and countless
other experiments are at the disposal of
the farming interests OF Vermont, and

the farmers in their home sections.

Some anti-Wilson newspapers which
were calling loudly for greater national
protection have lowered their tones now
that Wilson has come out in favor of the
same policy. There is, therefore, grave
question of their patriotic motives in
either one or the other of their positions.
OF course, il is barely possible that their
views may have honestly changed in the
interim; but il is more than probable
that some extraneous considerations like
political antipathy to Wilson were the
cause of the sudden flop. However, the
policy of preparedness against aggres-

T E N N E S S E E
Six Years of State Wide
Prohibition Bank
rupts State.
More Crime Than Ever Before.

Tennessee has had Statewide pro
hibition for six years.
Before the prohibition law went into
effect, 10 per cent of the revenues Of
the State were applied to paying off
the State debt, as provided by Law,
thereby rapidly discharging it. Since
prohibition deprived the State of large
revenues from taxes on the manufac-
turers of liquors and beer. the sinking
fund law was suspended, and payments
on the State debts stopped.
The present Legislature found that
there was a deficit in State revenues
of S1,022 100000 Short-time notes have
been given to cover that deficit, the
same to be converted into 3O-year
bonds next July. This will increase
the bonded Indebtedness of the State
to a total of $12,5OO.OOOOO.
Taxes have been largely increased.
The State Manufacturers Association,
in 1914, stated in its report on Taxa
ton:
There is a tendency throughout
the State to increase taxes on an
already overburd6ned people, both
by constant increase of the assess
ment as well as the rate"
Since that report was made, the
Legislature has passed a new Revenue
and Assessment Act, increasing many
kinds of taxes from 40 to 100 per cent,
the entire tax burden being nearly
twice what it was before prohibition
went into effect.
In 1908, the year before Statewide
prohibition was adopted, the cost OF
criminal prosecutions in Tennessee
was $15S,OOOOO. According to official
figures submitted to the Legislature
that has just adjourned, S342, 100000
was expended for criminal prosecu-
lions last year. This shows an in
crease of nearly 100 per cent in crime
in six years under prohibition.
The city of Nashville recently issued
bonds for $9S7,OOOOO to cover a deficit
caused largely by the operation of the
prohibition law. The other large cities
of the State are in a similar financial
condition, due to the same causes.
In Tennessee, prohibition has not
helped the taxpayer, nor has it i'm
proved moral conditions. Exactly the
reverse has been the result. Large
numbers of extra officeholders, and
greatly increased expenses for. their
support and for prosecuting violations
of the law, are the main features OF
present conditions.
Blind tigers, boOtleggers and moon
shining have taken the place of law
full, regulated liquor traffic; there has
been a steady increase in all crimes.
moral standards have been lowered.
and TAXES HAVE DOUBLED.

KENTUCKY TAXPAYERS, WHICH DO YOU WANT!9
WEST VIRGINIA
State Wide Prohibition
Paralysis the
State.
Higher Taxes-Worse Conditions.

The West Virginia Legislature con-
vened in May, the second time this
year, to consider tax questions made
necessary by a shortage of revenues
to pay the current expenses of the
State.
The Inauguration of Statewide pro-
hibition, last July, cut off $3.50, 100000
of revenues heretofore available.
At the close of the fiscal year, Sep
TENDER 80, 1912, the State had sur
plus in the treasury of S592,475.39.
The Governor estimated that on July
1, 1915, there would be a deficit of
$624,0OO.OO, not counting $3.50, 100000 of
old appropriations not expended.
The Legislature, at the May special
session, increased the tax rate in the
State 40 per cent to make up the de-
felt in revenues caused by the State
wide prohibition system.
For lack of funds, Governor Hatfield
vetoed appropriation bills amounting
to 1858, 60S.09. Among the vetoed ap-
preparations are the following:
Transportation of prisoners and
extradition of criminals, 100000 a
year;
Girls dormitories and agricultural
buildings, State University, $780,
10000.

ton of fish and game, 100000

Factory inspectors, 100000 a
year.
Since the adoption of prohibition,
violations of the liquor laws have in
creased enormously. Bootleggers are
busy all over the State. On the first
day of May, 1914, before prohibition
went into effect, there were SO pris-
oners in the county jail at Charleston,
the capital of the State. On the first
day of May, 1915, there were go pris-
oners in the same jail.

Hubbard. He is engaged in Sun

The continuous rains are in
conveniencing the farmers in
their work. All Of the crops are
in weeds and grass, but they are
fighting like Trojans. 1t is hard
to save the small grains and the
hay crop. With all of this set
back, the outlook for a bumper
corn crop is very fattering. We
have vegetables galore and ev-
cry table is filled with all kinds
of edibles.
S. R. Dills had a valuable mule
killed by the electric storm Thurs
day evening. He valued it at
$3.50.
There is a great deal of inter-
est being manifested in the cir
cult Judges race. There are
three candidates, Judge l, Fl.
Thurman, Glenn Hill and Jeffer.
son Henry. Each candidate is
leaving no stones unturned.
Notwithstanding the short
crops for two seasons. all of our
business institutions are in a
fiourishing condition. We have
made a great deal of material
progress during this time, and
81 the future outlook indicates no
halt in adding Ito the weather.
1t is encouraging to know that
the farmers as we'll as others
have began to realize the bene-
fits of using modern methods.
Industry rightly applied is worth
while.
The Rapid Transit Company's
truck is making a boulevard out
of our pike and there is quite
an increase of the number of
motor vehicles travelling it daily.
1t is a pleasure to sit and see
them go by in such conveyances.
1t denotes progress.
Most of our public schools be-
gan Monday. We expect to get
better results out of the coming
term. Our teachers are better
equipped for the work. The ex-
aminations have been more rig
id, and consequently they are
better prepared than heretofore.
1t is to be hoped that ALL school
officials will use their best efforts
towards giving the pupils the
best tutors to be had. Our fu-
ture prosperity depends on the
education of the young people.
The following names will be
