New Foreman At The

Several of our friends in the
town and county have asked us
how we get out such a good pap

should have announced that we
had given Mr.. Dollars place to
our former foreman, Hodge S.

petent to get out the paper, OF

our care.
Every printer at work in Mari.
on and many other parts of the
United States, who have gone
from our little city seeking green.

Press Office and we are proud OF
them. A letter to the editor re-
ceived from Malcolm Dollar
states he is pleased with his new
work. He is in Corinth. Miss,

CONSUMPTION
IN KENTUCKY
The Organization Of District Tuber-
culosis Sanatoria and
County Health.

Colonel L. U. Maus. Secretary
of the State tuberculosis Com
mission, visited Marion Thurs
day in the interest Of the State
tuberculosis Campaign. H e
says that Kentucky loses 5000
men, women and children every
year from consumption, and that
10000 Of the people still have
the disease, and that many Of
them will pass away unless
something is done for their care
and treatment.
Kentucky stands almost at the
top Of the States in the Union in
the prevalency of tuberculosis,
and near the bottom in the ex-
penditure Of money to suppress
the disease. Colonel Maus has
divided the state into nine tuber.
culosis santorium districts, each
district 10 contain from II 10 Is
counties. He says that the coun.
ty sanitorium idea has been
abandoned by the commission as
impractical and too expensive.
The district plan contemplates
the construction Of central san
itorium, built of frame and not to
cost over $50. 1000. The different
counties in the district will be
taxed 5 orc per cent of their
annual county tax levy for this
purpose. Each sanitorium will
be provided with $50 beds. which
are considered sufficient for the
needs OF each district. Besides
the organization Of district sani.
toria, Col. Maus is trying TO or.
ganize health and welfare league
in every county in the state.
These leagues will be general in
nature and include every mar
and woman in the county inter,
ested in the health and welfare
of their communities. 1t is be.
lieved that fully two-thirds OF
the citizens Of each county vii
join the league and pay the an
nual dues of one dollar towarc
the work of the league.
Colonel Maus addressed a mas.
meeting of the people in tn,
court house Thursday May the
llth, and the school children
Friday morning. He went tc
Princeton from Marion to lool
over the situation there, anC
then returned to Frankfort.
Colonel Maus is a retired office
Of the army medical corps anC
spent over forty years in the ser
vice Of his country. He went Il
Cuba with Gen. Fitz-hugh lie
as chief surgeon Of the seventl
army corps. and later served il

All patriotic citizens who desire

issue in both state and national
politics are urged to be present
and take part in this Convention.
Every method Of dealing with
the liquor traffic has been tried
and found wanting except the
most rational. namely, that of
putting the officer back of the
law. The majority of the people
have come TO realize first, that
Administration is nine points of
the law; second, that we have a
government of Political Parties.

itical; parties third, any great pro
pagranda to become a realized
factor in government must be
incorporated in a Political Party
platform.
Preparedness is the call of the
day: Efficiency. the standard de-
manded. and yet in the last Ma.
tional Call for men to enlist in
the United States Navy, nine
out of ten who responded to their
county call were rejected be-
cause they were unfit for service.
This fact stands out conspic-
uously when we speak of prepar-
ededness. 1t is not SO much Bait.

To that end all patriotic citi

INTERESTING
ARTICLE ON
----------
Good Roads, By 0ne OF Our Most
Progressive Farmers,
W. R. Cruce.
Editor of the Record d-Press:

! have read the call in your pa
per, for an election to be held,
May 9th. 1916, TO take the sense
Of the voters of Crittenden coun-
ty as to the usual of bonds to the
amount of $lS5, 100000 for the
building of macadam roads in
the county under the State aid
plan, and have read with much
interest, the various articles for
and against the proposition.
We all realize the value of good
roads in any county, especially
10 the farmers, who have to haul
their produce to market, and the
necessity for some Improvements
in the roads of Crittenden coun-
ty. No one can truthfully say
that we have as good roads as
we should.
As ! am a farmer and greatly
interested in this matter ! am
taking the liberty of suggesting
a few thoughts that occur to me
relative to the proposition.
| notice, from the contributed
article, Of those opposed to the
proposition. that great stress is
laid upon the fact that the debt
is too great Tor our people to as
sumo and that our taxes will be
greatly increased. 1t is true
that slS5. 900. 90 is a large sum
and If We only consider the debt,
without taking into considera-
ton the assessed value of our
county. it looks like a heavy bur-
den, but, when we consider the
part that each of US will be call.
ed upon to pay, il is not enough
TO alarm any one. The tax can
not exceed 20 cents on the 500
worth Of property, or $500 per
$1,000. For instance, il one pays
taxes on $1,000 worth of proper
ty. it will only cost him $500
per year; and, il he pays on
$4,000 worth Of property. ii will
only cost him Sl.00 per year. II
voter pays taxes on 100000
worth Of property and he be-
lieves the road would benefit
him more than $500 per year,
he should be for the tax; but, il
he believes that ii will not bene'
fit him as much as $500 per year,
he ought to be against it.
But some say II will increase
our other taxes by making our
property more valuable AND thai
1t will not make the property
produce any more. According
TO that theory, we ought not 4
build school houses nor churcheI
In the community, for, every on,
will admit that schools an,
churches make neighborhood
more desirable and the propert.
more valuable. Neither shoul,
we build good comfortable homes
or other improvements, for the
all make farms more valuabl
; without increasing the fertilit
Of the soil.
II 10 also said that we do no
know that the State will or ca
continue to aid u.s." The Stat
agrees to pay one-half Of tn
debt. More than 100 countie
Of the State have arranged fc
State aid, and II is not reason
