The L. & N. Railroad Company

The L. & N. Railroad Company
pays its stockholders go per cent.
on their investments, and is as
sessed for taxation at about 20
per cent on its original cost of
construction, and-the cost of its
equipment. The farmer pays
tax on his property at no less
than so per cent, then gets raised
by the County Board of Super
visors, and a little later the coun-
ty gets raised by the State Board
of Equalization. The average
farmer operates his farm at 2
loss If he takes into account the
interest that would accrue on the
money invested in land and the
worth of his wages.
This is funny old world TO.
because when the proposition
was up last year to change the
constitution so property in Ken
lucky could be classified for tax
alton, the farmer voted for it.
This only means that the big
factories and railroads of the
State will be in a low tax CLASH
fed list, and the farmer in a high
tax classified list. And the hon.
est old farmer will fall wild over
the man to send to the Legisle-
lure next that will make the
quickest work of the farmer. 1t
seems that the farmers enjoy be-
ing worked as well as the trlx-
STEERS, enjoy riding.

1t is regrettable fact that the
Court of Appeals has had to rule
thst Stanton College cannot be
used as a high school for Powell
county, and that the Board OF
Education must provide for such
school.
The law also provides that the
County Board of Education shall
build school houses and MAINTAIN
ali expenses of the several schools
of the county outside of the grad,
ed schools. 1t goes still further
and provides that no more than
20 cents on each hundred dollar
shall be collected in tax to do all
this with. Now in Powell coun-
ty, by the Board of Education
trying to keep up the general
running expenses of the schools
alone, 1t has been necessary to
run into debt and now is so in.
volved to the extent of about ST..
600. If any one can tell The
Times how our Board of Educa-
tion is to care for our schools and
at the same time build a high
school on the money at its COM
mand, we will be very thankful.
1t cannot be done. Then some
thing must be done. We must
send our children to high school
aud now that Stanton College
cannot be used, we can only say
to the State authorities "Here's
our money and here's the needs. !"
We want to do, but are in the
same attitude of the. MissOurians
-"show us how" as well as tell
what TO do.

The Herald reports that $4,000
people attended church services

one.third the population of that

EAGLE KNIGHTS
Movement Started to Strengthen Weak
Castles in all Sections of State

The general condition of castles of the
Knights of the Golden Eagle, according to
reports received at headquarters in this city,
continues to improve very satisfactorily
While numerically the gains are not as
great as at some other periods in the his
tory of this chivalrous brotherhood, flnan-
clally the castles go forward and are be-
coming stronger and more stable each year.
For the purpose of extending the order and
making a careful study of the general condi-
tons OF castles throughout the State and sug-
gestins remedial measures to counterRct
pensions of members or loss of charters the
Grand Castle has, appointed a Committee on
Extension of the Order" which has performed
singularly efficient service.
A comprehensive report was presented at the
recent Grand Castle session, giving careful
and showing conclusively that the failure of the
castles and consequent surrender of charters
were due almost wholly to a failure TO charge
an adequate rate of weekly dues.
The grand chief in his annual report, COM
mendng the work of this important committee.
says that there are number of weak castles
n the jurisdiction. many of which can be saved
II the proper means are employed.
he also states that he has found in his Off
clal experience many castles whose dues
entirely too low and the benefits too high, This
Grand Castle. and laws made Tegulatng the
certain amount OF dues Failure SO to act
must result In injury and ultimately invite in
this State harassing State legislation the

Police Court Chronicles

When Bill Bradley dropped from a freight
down in the Neck he thought he didn't
have friend In the world. But he had only
been in town about half an hour when he
had five loyal followers. They proved to be
quintet of very quizzical pigs
Bill had never seen them before, and as
he did not possess the facilities for con-
verting them into ham and bacon he told
the porkers to beat 1t. But they simply
glared at him and grunted. When Bill
stopped SO did the pigs.
The procession followed him to Stone
House lane. There Bill made one last ap-
peal 10 his unwelcome constituents. They
waited until he had finished the oratory
and then continued after him. Kids on the
ntreet expressed their opinion OF the parade.
and Bradley, to say the least, felt uncom-
Portable.
While Bill was wondering what to do
next an excited farmer came running up
the street and denounced Bill In language
which is barred by the censor. In short, he
