Will Be Made to Pope
Serving as One of PeacemakerS

(By Alice Robe, United Press
staff correspondent
ROME, July 29.-Italy will not
agree 10 the selection of Pope Benc-
dict as a member of the peace coun-
ell at the end of the European war,
it was reliably stated here, despite
the fact that the pope wants to be
present on that happy day.
A combination OF other nations il
favor Of the pontiff may force his
selection over the objections of his
native country. Put there is no dis
gtising the fact that recent publish
ed interviews with His Holiness, par
ticularly the one in which he was
quoted as assailing the Italian gov
eminent, have made him undesirable
in the minds of Italian officials as a
member of the peace board.
This particular interview, the one
granted M. Lpaatie of the Paris Lib
artz, was part of the vatican's plan
to place itself before the world as
being un-Italian and strictly neutral.

Already" says the CORES
pondent, ''seven Teutonic armies
in many places are laundering
through marshy districts where
there is a thick fog in the morn

rains are turning the roads into
deep mud. Amid the lakes and
boys where the operations must
now take place the Geamans will
often be obliged to move in mar
row causeways under the concen-
trated fire of the Russian artil-
cry, which thus will be able to
infict terrific losses at small
cost. The foggy weather will
prevent the German airmen feel
ing out the Russian positions.
can indication of what the
Russians will do next is given in
an official announcement that the
time has come for the Russian
armies to select suitable posi-
ton upon which to remove until
it can be made to serve as a point
of departure for a decisive adj
vance. In other words, the Rus

do when they are able to work and
let them help to take care of one an
other and treat them like they were
human beings. don't want to be un-
derstood as begrudging single crumb
to the poor of the county, but on the
contrary want to see them better
taken care of, which know can be
done at far less expense than il is now
being done. 1 understand that the
county farm in Casey county is self
sustaining and that that county pays
out next to nothing for the mainten-
ance of its poor, and we'll provides
for them through its farm.
If we could so manage it as to save
or thousand dollars per year out of
this SIS, 043, in this one item we could
add 1T to the road fund and could
thereby be able to pay this 1928, 1000
and interest in less than IA years.
Say we save $4,000 per year this
way and add it to the S11, 228 it would
make ST., 228 to pay each year on the
bonds and interest without raising
the present tax rate one cent. l
have made the figures and with this
sum to pay at the end of each veal,
we could pay off the whole 1925, 1000
and interest in less than ID years.
Let every tax payer ponder over the
figures given here. Let him exercise
his reason. He might wonder why
he is not entitled to have good road
to go about his business On, out of so
much money spent. don't see how any
reasonable man can oppose this bond
issue in view of all the facts and fig
ureS
If anybody doubts the figures let
him go to the records and see for him
self.
If we can build all the roads at once
and not raise the taxes over the pres
ent rate, and with the present rate
pay off the bonds and interest in less
time than we can build the roads un-
der the present arrangement, how can
any reasonable voter fail to say that
the bond issue is the sensible and
busineSslIke plan? Take this note and
figure on it and see if have given the
correct solution of the matter.
We wish to say we have a right to
expect fair treatment at the hands of
the people who are now getting the
benefit of the present arrangement.
Just let me add for general infor
nation, that we pay for all county
purposes S24, IA
State tax Is 44O
Columbia for town tax about 5000

Quite a lot of money!
Now Mr.. voter if you want to be
sure to get your road attended to on
the square deal plan, take steps at
once to be put on equal footing with
every other part Of the county, which
can only be done by getting enough
money in sight at one time to do JUS
tice to every part of the county, and
this can be done only by sustaining
the bond issue. There is danger of
few lines getting their roads piked at
State and county expense and then
coming to the conclusion that the
road tax is bad thing and preventing
the rest of the county from getting
any road at all.
Most Respectfully,

There are 3,4OO polls outside of
those returned as delinquent.
If you will take the pains to do so,
you will find by a short calculation
that we pay for school purposes, at Is
cents on the 500, $4,2l0, and so cents
on each of the 3, 400 polls, 81, 700, max
ang in all $500. However thereshould
be deducted from this about 5000 for
taxes on property included in the Co.
71mbia Graded School district which
would leave the county paying for
school purposes 5000. For general
purposes which includes salaries of
county officials, keeping prisoners,
keeping up the pauperS, ETC., at Is
cents on the 800, $7,OI7. And 81 SO
sor each of 3, 400 polls, S., 100, making a
total for general purposes S12. III. Also
we have levied cents on the 500 for
general road purposes for maintenance,
81, 403; also 20 cents on the 800 to
Build the pike from Columbia over the
Stanford road to the Casey county
line which amounts to 1854 Total
taxes for all purposes, s24, IA. You
will observe that we are now under
contract to build a pike from Co.
lumbia to the Casey county line and
nave appropriated for that purpose for
this year s5,6l4, which is the above 20
cents on the 500 for each dollar of
which the county expects to get one
dollar from the State which will make
Slips already set apart for this pur-
pose by the Fiscal Court.
The distance to the Casey county
aine being about 20 miles you must OBJ,
serve that the time this road will he
completed depends largely upon the
amount it will take to build same per
mile. If we can build it at 81 200 per
mile it would take two full years to
complete it, but if it should take
80, 500 per mile to build it, it would
