AMENDMENT
IS ENDORSED
Frankfort State journal Prints Strong
Editorial Favoring Adoption OF
Constitutional Amendment And
Pointing Out Its Advantages


The strong resolutions adopted by
the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce
favoring the Constitutional Amend
ment relating to the purchase Of tele-
phone lines are meeting with favor
throughout the state. Among other
papers which have endorsed this &C
ton editorially is the Frankfort State
Journal, which recently published the
following editorial:
Amend The Constitution.
THE action Of the Chamber OF Com
merce, in pledging its efforts to the
adoption Of the Constitutional Amend
ment relating to the purchase Of tele-
phone lines, and in calling upon other
commercial bodies to support 1t, ID
both wise and timely.
Two telephone lines in the same
community, each contending for sub
scribers, is a nuisance-an expensive
nuisance-to the public, and has been
too long tolerated. When the busy
merchant, farmer or professional man
takes up his telephone, he wants to
talk and talk quickly; and to be told
that the party sought has "the other
line" naturally stirs his resentment
Two exchanges in the same town
mean that the business and profes-
sional man must maintain both, and
this he should not be required to do
Telephone service should be univer-
sal among telephone users; every tel
ephone user should be able to reach
every other telephone user, over his
own phone.
The present Constitution OF Ken
lucky was written when the telephone
business was in its early infancy, and
in it was written that one telephone
company could not acquire by lease
or purchase, the lines of a compel
ing company, with the result that in
every municipality where there have
existed two telephone systems, how
soever much Chamber of Com
merce or a City Council wished to
have only one, they could get rid of
neither without wrecking one. Both
lines were doomed to continuous exist
ence, in spite of the fact that gener-
ally neither was prosperous, or giving
to the public satisfactory service.
State authorities and local councils
have complete power Of regulation OF
telephone companies.
1.-THE General Assembly adopted the
pending amendment to the Constitu-
ton, permitting one telephone com
pany to purchase the lines of anoth-
er, provided the City Council, and the
State authorities should approve the
purchase; without that approval no
purchase can be made. This amend
ment was passed by the House of Rep
resentatives without a dissenting vote,
and by the Senate with only one mega
tive vote. Such vote is an indication
of the widespread interest in the
amendment and the demand for the
relief it will bring. The public inter
est is fully protected.
I'VE cannot too highly commend the
Chamber of Commerce in its efforts
to secure the adoption Of this amend
ment by the voters. The State Jour
nal is for the amendment, and will add
its efforts to those of the Chamber OF
Commerce to bring about the adoption.

HIGH SCHOOLS
OF State Have Shown Steady Dsyc''
opments.

Frankfort. Ky.-During the past
six years the high schools of the
State have developed at a steady rate
in number of schools established. in
number of teachers employed, in en-
rollment of pupils and in general IA
cilities. McHenry Rhoads, High
School Inspector, has gathered re-
ports from the schools Of the State
which cover practically the entire
field showing that a steady progress
in high school development has been
made during the past year.
When the new county school law
was passed in 1908 there were but
twenty-eight high schools in connec-
ton with city school systems. which
maintained a standard four-year
course of study and forty high
schools connected with independent
graded districts. Before the law
making it mandatory that every
county establish and maintain high
schools went into effect there were
but 5000 pupils enrolled in the high
schools of the State. At the close OF
the last school year. June 30. 1917,
there existed $40 high schools sup
ported in whole or in part by pubic
funds. having an enrolment OF 20
800 pupils and employing 1,2S8
teachers. with an equipment Of hous-
ing possibility. the total value OF
which exceeds $7,000,O0O.
From the statistical tables given in
the report of High School Inspector
Rhoads, the following general facts
have been gathered. Number of high
schools in Kentucky 37GG. rambler Of

The opcniny was 25 points points higher to , poirts lower, near months being relatively firm on re = newal of the buying movement prn- noted the talk of a better spoi de mand and diminishing local stocks, while later deliveries felt the infln- cnce of favorable weekly crop re. views. The weather map however, showed generally clear weather in the southwest where rains are still need ed in some sections aVd the general lsit was steady after the call vita October selling at 26.0bc and January at 2624c or six to Fl points net high CT. Trading was comparatively quiet and the buying was attributed party to covering on the prospects for con tinued dry weather in the southwest over Sunday.
 The cotton market closed steady.

Chicago, July 7.-Active buying on the part of commission houses swept the corn market upward again today Railroad advices, covering large sec- ton of important producing states were to the effect that the growing crop was fully two weeks late. This fact, together with knowledge that there $ virtually no stock of corn on hand here tended to give renewed strength to the market. Opening quo- tations which range from the same as yesterdays finish to 1 3-4c higher with September at $1.555 to $1.55 1-t and December at $1.14h to $1.16h were followed by .ains all around that carried December to $1.171s.
 Decided further gains were scored ewing more or less 10 complaints of unreasonable weather. The close was nervous at 1 3-S to 3 34 net advance.
 Wheat sagged owing to neblect. Trading was even smaller than has been of late. After opening Pc lower with July at $2.10 and September nominal the market descended to $209 for July.
 Subsequently the market showed more firmness, apparently influenced by the bulge in corn The close was unsettled at 5c net lower to 2c ad : vance with July $207 and September s194.
 Oats were firmer in sympathy with corn. Moderate advances. though brought out rather free offerings.
