OTHER VIEW POINTS

Especially just now, when we need more. not fewer men to accomplish our purpose in Mexico. of course the Carranza proposition that we reduce our force to a thousand cavalry is ri- diculous. It is hard, moreover. to see what difference the size of the force makes in principle. This request looks like trap to catch a regiment of our good cayalry.-New Haven Register.

CONSUMPTION
IN KENTUCKY
The Organization OF District Tuber-
culOsis Sanaloria and
County Health.

Colonel l.. L. 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 to contain from II 10 10
counties. He says that the coun.
~ sanitorium idea has been
abandoned by the commission as
impractical and too expensive.
The district plan contemplates
the construction of a central san.
itorium, built of frame and not TO
cost over $50, 600. The different
counties in the district will be
taxed 5 or 6 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 SAM.
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 man
and woman in the county inter
ested in the health and welfare
Of their communities. Ii is be.
lieved That fully two-thirds of
the citizens Of each county will
join the league and pay the an.
nual dues Of one dollar toward
the work Of the league.
Colonel Maus addressed a mass
meeting Of the people in the
court house Thursday May the
18th, and the school children
Friday morning. He went to
Princeton from Marion to look
over the situation there, and
then returned to Frankfort.
Colonel Maus is a retired officer
Of the army medical corps and

Convention Or Prohibition Partl.

The State Convention of the
Prohibition Party of Kentucky is
hereby called TO meet in the As.
sembly Room of the Hotel Wat
terson, Louisville, Kentucky May

All patriotic citizens who desire
to see the prohibition of The IL.
quor traffic made the dominant
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,
by Political Parties, and for Pol
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 ofprepar-
ededness. Ii is not 50 much Bait

Big Guns as Men, who are phys.
ically fitted to meet the deman.
DIS Of peace or war that will give
the United States the necessary
preparedness to meet all the re-
sponsibilities of this government.
But while nine-tenths Of CUR
young are rendered unfit. thru
the direct or indirect effects of
the destroying influence of the
liquor traffic, We cannot possibly
meet the requirements Of our
high civilization, therefore. if
government is to be properly
prepared. we must destroy the
liquor traffic.
To that end all patriotic citi.
zens are urged to attend the ST.
ate Convention of the Prohibition
party. The National Chairman
and other National Party Repre-.
sentatlves will be present for
counsel and assistance The Wo.

Good Roads, By 0ne OF Our Nos
Progressive Farmers,
W. r. Cruce.
Editor of the Record.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, 10000 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. Ii is true
that SlS5, 600. 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 70 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, if one pays
taxes on $1,000 worth of proper
ty. il will only cost him $500
per year; and, if he pays on
$4,000 worth of property, it will
only cost him Sl.00 per year. If
a 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, If
he believes that il will not bene-
fit him as much as $500 per year,
he ought to be against it.
But some say il will increase
our other taxes by making our
property more valuable AND that
it will not make the property
produce any more. According
TO that theory. we ought not "a
build school houses nor churches
in the community, for, every one
will admit that schools and
churches make neighborhoods
more desirable and the property
more valuable. Neither should
we build good comfortable homes
or other improvements. for the,
all make farms more valuable
; without increasing the fertility
Of the soil.
II is also said that we do mo-
know that the State will or car
continue to aid u.s." The Stat,
agrees to pay one-half Of the
debt. More than 100 counties
Of the State have arranged fol
State aid, and 1t is not reason
able to think their representa-
tives will not see to It that III,
State will pay its part,
In addition to the agreement
upon the part Of the State to pa,
half Of the indebtedness, the
Federal Government has passed
