OPEN LETTER TO FARMERS

The following letter written by
one Of the leading farmers aud
Stoekmen in this section of the
state. and one who Is recognized
as one of the best posted men in
Kentucky. will be of interest 70
all men interested in the new tax
bill which viii come before the
special session of the Legislature
which has been called by Governor
Stanley:
Mt. Sterling, Ky. Feb. 3, 1917.
Mt. Sterling Advocate:
Hearing that our Governor was
about to call a special session of
our Legislature, yesterday the 2nd.
inst, Messrs. Marvin, of Scott
county; Thompson, Clay and others,
of Bourbon county, and l went be-
fore him to ask that he not call the
special session at this time, because
the people-the country people es-
pecially-were not posted upon the
proposed new tax law, and to please
give them time to inform them
selves; but the Governor is deter
mined to call at once a special ses-
sion of the Kentucky Legislature.
for the purpose of passing a new
and entirely revolutionary tax law
for the State of Kentucky, which
we believe viii greatly increase the
taxes upon real estate and decrease,
and in some classes, entirely omit
to tax personal property.
Now, we call upon all farmers to
watch this new legislation, and act
promptly concerning the farmers
interests, that We may not regret
this act the balance of our lives,
and fasten upon US a pernicious
and unjust tax law to be inherited
by our children and future genera
tons. Yours truly,

A DRY sHELByvlLLE

A ~dry" Shelbyville seems to be
having just the opposite effect on
the finances of our city as was pre-
dicted by many Of the "wet" work
srs and SympathiEers during the
campaign for local option in the
fall of 1914. 1t was freely claimed
BY those who could not see around
the dirty dollars of the liquor traf-
nc that without the $4,000 annually
annually paid in by the saloons for
license the city would founder on
the rough rocks of bankruptcy in
short order, especially in view of the
fact that the tax rate had already
been brought up to the legal limit
Of IS cents on the 500 valuation,
and no more money could be raised
from that source.
So much for their predictions,
but let's see just what has actually
happened.
According to the reports of the
city officers recently filed with the
Board of Council the city was able
to meet all of it's obligations during
1916 and end the year with the neat
sum of $3,434.41 to the good. 1t
not only did this, but it also reduc-
ed its Indebtedness to the extent Of
/ $S,l70. In other words the habii-
tiles of the city on Jan. l, 1916,
amounted to $31 ,27O, of which sum
S16,0000 was sewer bonds and the
remaining $15,270 represented bills
payable, or 10 be exact, borrowed
money. On Jan. l, 1917. the liabil-
tiles of the city amounted to $685.
100, divided as follows: Sewer
bonds, $4,000; bills payable, &c.
100. This shows that $4,000 was
paid on the sewer bonds and S6,170
on the bills payable AT this ratio
it will only take a couple of years
more TO wipe out the debt entirely.
1t should be remembered that
every dollar of this Indebtedness
was incurred during the time sa-
looms were in operation in Shelby
vile and that it is being paid off
despite the fact that there has been
no severe retrenchment in the way
of reduction of salaries or the abol-
ishment of useless offices.
And while we are ON the subject
of salaries, it does seem that the
bill of about $4,000 per year for
salaries for officers and employees
of the city is pretty high. There
are many people who think taxes
are too high and that a great deal
of money is being spent that could
just as well be saved for all the
good it does the city. This salary
bill certainly gives them ground for
complaint, but we will have more
to say about that later. What we
wanted to call to the attention of
our people was how well we are
getting along in a financial way
without the saloon license money,
and to express the belief that with
couple more years of a "dry"
town we could expect to be entire
ly out of debt and then a substan-
tial reduction in the tax rate would
certainly be in Order.-Shelby

Assistant Secretary ot the Interior Is More Than Pleased with
 His Visit North.
TO TELL CONGRESSMEN
Believes That Delegation of Lawmakers of the Nation Should Make
 a Trip to Alaska

we have had an exceedingly in teresting and wonderful trip. l nave been studying Alaskan affairs TOT sometime, but it was not until we had left Seattle and entered Alaskan waters that we had a real apprecla- tion of what a wonderland this is. That was the initial declaration or Assistant Secretary of the Interior Herbert A. Meyer, who passed through Juneau early this morning on the Northwestern
 Mir. Meyer, A. D. Shepard, Of San Francisco, a railroad development expert; Edwin F. Went, member or the engineering board of the inter state commerce commissions; R. F. Austin, of the Interior Department were southbound passengers on the Northwestern. The party has Just completed an investigation or seV- eral weeks into government work in Alaska, paying particular attention to the railroad The party went oV- CT the right-ofway for more thah 200 miles, covering the ground be- tween Seward and Anchorage ana between Anchorage and near Broad Pass. MT. Shepard made a person al examination of the Chickaloon coal deposits where a mine is being developed for the production of coal for the government. Sumner D Smith. inspector of mines, has charge of the development.
 William C. Edes, chairman of the Railroad Engineering Commission and Andrew Christensen, manager oi the land and industrial department of the railroad organization, accom- panied the party, and returned with it as far as Cordova. From there they left for the interior over the military wagon road for Fairbanks and Nenana.
 Trip All Too Short
 Mir. Meyer expressed regret that accommodating Departmental work partly due to the death of Assistan' Secretary Bo Sweeney, prevented his party from making trip to the Interior. The same reason prevent ed Mir Meyer from stopping over al Juneau where it was his desire to spend a few days and become ac auainted with the people.
 Conqressmen Should Visit Alaska
 "I hope that a committee of Con gress consisting of men from botf of it's branches will be able to make visit here," continued MT Meyer discussing Alaskan matters. Alas ka has many friends in Congress and in Washington now, and such a triI would do much toward carrying or

the good work that already has been started here.
 q would have you know that Sec retary Lane is vitally interested in Alaska. Although he has many other duties, the greatest of which IS ms work with the Council of Defense, Alaska is still uppermost in his mind.
 "The reason Well, he IS, as you know, primarily of the west, ana Alaska is of the west, and he realizes it's value. it's problems and the need of development.
 Cooperation Needed
 q am convinced that cooperation by Alaskans with the secretary Will accomplish many things. Work to- gether. Juneau, with Seward, Cor dova with Anchorage. Develop the whole Territory While the govern ment road is intended primarily to develop that section between Seward and Fairbanks, it means general de- velopment.
 Another important thing is to bring home to those outside of Alas ka the truth of it's greatness. There is still a great majority who look upon it as a land of snow and ice. It must be advertised and it's ad- vantages made known
 Mir. Meyer in Charge of Alaskan
 Development
 The direction of Alaskan affirs is in MT. Meyers hands at Washington and his trip here has placed him in closer position with his work. He had a good idea of Alaska before he came here, as shown by the work of the Interior Department, but he admitted that on the trip from Seat tie to Anchorage, he learned more or the Territory than all the reports and maps at Washington could tell
