The taxpayers of Powell coun-
ty have had As cents on each hun
bred dollars worth of taxable
property levied against them for
road and bridge purposes. The
road overseers have been notified
to put their roads in condition
with the road hands. We are in
formed that no part of this mon-
ey collected for roads and brldg-
es can be used to pay for teams
to be used in working the roads.
Everybody knows that roads can
not be worked without teams.
Thus the farmers in addition to
paying their high road tax must
work their own road and furnish
their own teams without paw.
The people don't mind working
the roads nor do they object to
paying the road tax, but they do
think each community that pays
so much road tax should have at
least a small portion of it spent
on their roads.

some months, picking up every

never failed to get some kind of
rake.off until he hit the good
old mountain Democratic county

research he was forced to give up
the ghost without finding penny

Elliott county has no railroad,
it has no improved roads, it has

A HOMEMADE PAPER.
THURSDAY, AUGUST "a, 1916
The railroads of Kentucky have

The railroads of Kentucky have
had their franchise assessments
figured this year on a basis of Z
per cent instead of 6 per cent as
in former years. This way of
figuring a big saving for the rail.
roads has made a cut in the State
assessment of railroads amount
ing to SO, 220,230. Just why the
State assessing board, which is
composed of Auditor r. L.
Greene, Secretary of State James
Z. Lewis and State Treasurer
Sherman Goodpaster, took such a
decided action in favor of the
railroads will be hard to find out.
Especially at a time when the
railroads, as all other big bust.
nesses are climbing upward and
profits are so fast on the in.
crease.
On this board 1t happens that
there are two Democrats and one
Republican member. The de.
crease is 16$ per cent. Thus we
see that while every farmer in
Powell county is raised 20 per
cent, as was done last spring, the
l.. & N. railroad and all other
roads are decreased 16S per cent
in their assessment.
1t begins to seem that Jim Gar.
nett knew what he was talking
about when he said a man could
not now be elected to a State
Office that opposed the l.. & N.
railroad. The candidates are
always very loud in their denun-
Citations of the railroads, but wait
until they get into office.

One very funny thing about
roads is all officers place little or
no value on road hands that work
the road. Still they eagerly find
a use for the money that is sup
posed to keep up the roads, then
complain when three or four road
hands to the mile fail to keep
their road in good repair. 1t is
remarkable indeed "what the
other fellow could do if he
would" and "terrible that we
have so much to do with so lit.
tle."
