SPECIAL SESSION :


II may not be generally knowns But
Il is a fact that only forty out nf the
one hundred and twenty counties in
Kentucky contribute anything toward
the general expenses OF the State gov
eminent, but when 1t comes to criti-
cising the management Of the States
finances and denouncing the extrava-
gance of the Legislature in making
appropriations, the greatest complaints
seem to be made by the eighty coun-
ties which do not pay a dollar OF the
expense.
1t is refreshing to read in an edi-
torial in the Livingston Enterprise the
frank admission that
1T takes all the money Livingston
County pays into the State treasury
to pay the school teachers Of this coun-
ty. The State taxes being $16,Ss7 and
teachers salaries $16,s95, and there
are many other expenses of county
officials, witness and jury fees, etc,
amounting to about $4,000, paid out OF
the State treasury. ." Livingston
County contributes nothing to the run
ming expenses OF the State. yet we
have voice in the States affairs
and often criticise the administration
on its extravaganza, when the whole
expense is borne by other counties.
Until we reach the point OF
paying our own expenses we cannot
charge unfairness in any tax laws"
There are seventy-nine other coun-
ties in the same situation as Living
ston. but few of them seem willing
so freely to confess their shortcomings,
nor will they hasten to do so as long
as the forty other counties are willing
TO submit 10 higher assessments and
list more taxable property on which
the excess taxes go toward paying the
expenses of their delinquent neighbors.
The editorial referred to also pre-.
sents an epitome of taxation in the
following sensible language:
"In considering any taxing system
IL is well TO examine conditions in va.
rious sections OF the State; ascertain
the capacity of each county to pay as
we'll as to receive benefits and then
enact law as would yield the re-
Quired sum of money and levy its col
lection as equally as may be upon the
people of the whole State"
And that is exactly what the laws
proposed by the State Tax Commits.
sion are designed to accomplish. If
newspaper editors generally would
follow the Livingston Enterprise the
State would soon be out OF debt and
in receipt OF ample revenue to meet
its growing demands.-Courier Jour-

to a great degree.
Speaking Of the farmer and
the price Of farm products, it is
pointed out that the farmer on
the basis of present prices can
obtain more in return for tho eX-
change Of his corn or stock than
ever before in the b story of the
country. This fac is explained
somewhat in this { hion: While
the cost to the IA ner of mate
rials necessary for his welfare
has advanced tremendously since
the outbreak of thess war, ssthe
value received for his contribu-
tons tG the market is much
greater in proportion. Farm i'm.
plements have gone up, clothing
is higher, sugar is more expen-
sive, but yet for a given number
of bushels Of corn n hundred
weight of hogs, he CA get more
farm implements, more sugar
and more clothing than ever be-
fore.
Turning to the other side Of
water, it is interesting to note
the feeling in Denmark, the
nearest neighbor to Prussia.
The Danes have never forgotten,
nor forgiven, the wal of 1864,
after which Schleswig-Holstein
was taken by Prussia. Schles-
wig is Danish in population and
temperament, while Holstein, the
border province, is largely Ger
man in it's Sympathies. All Danes
would like to have Schleswig
back again, but do not care for
Holstein. This is the province
where the big black and white
milk producers originally came
from and where they are still
the mainstay OF the farming
population. Denmark S standing
army Of upwards of $4,000 SOL
diers has been modified ever
since the war, but Denmark is
not apt to be forced into the
struggle unless Norway and
Sweden go in as well.
Not only is the Government
experimenting along defensive
lines against submarines, but
against the remote possibility of
an air attack by a European ma
ton. A fleet Of great air cruisers
capable Of successfully fighting
the greatest dirigible now in eX-
istence'is in contemplation. One
of these cruisers is already being
built and before ID. z will take
Government tests This new air
ship is to have q great armed
body and will REQUIRE a crew of
five men. 1t will ave cruising
radius Of 1900 miles, and remain
in the air twenty-four hours. Its
speed, it is hoped. will be over
eighty miles IN hour and it will
carry two tons of high explosives
as well as rapid fire guns. This
airship, it is believed, will out
Yep the Zeppelins.
The aviation branches of the
army and navy are heing rapidly
developed. Every iant in the
country that can turn out an
aeroplane or part Of one is busy.
Applications for places in the
aviation corps are many and these
men are being given instructions
as rapidly as machines are pro-
vided. 1t takes at least six
months to train an aviator. |

The United States Navy
accepts only men of good
moral character and sound
physique" was the message
sent to a Magistrate in
an Eastern city the other day by
the officer in charge of navy re-
cruiting. Some Judges have
more than once suspended sem
tence on convicted criminals on
condition that they enlist in the
navy. This practice is not to he
tolerated by the navy Cor the sea-
men on Uncle SANS ships are a
high grade, manly set of young
men. There is no place for
shirkers or criminals in the navy
and the treatment accorded the
men is the treatment accorded to
gentlemen.

In England, the Navy League
is a semi-otficial body, conducted
along almost identic lines with
the Navy League of the United
States. As showing the co-opera-
ton between the Navy League
of England and the English
Navy, an interesting fact has
been developed by means of let
tiers received from England in
the late mails. Each one of
these letters now bear pastors On
their backs which read:
Don't forget. The safe az
rival OF this letter is due to the
British Navy"
A hand points to the closing
line
Join the Navy League"
The reason for this is as fol-
lows: All letters from England
are opened by the censor. When
they are resealed, a paster is put
over the open part. This costs
money and the English Navy
League suggested to the British
Government that it would supply
the pastors for the censor.
The Navy Department here
and the NAVY League of the
United States are working in
harmony and cooperation. The
Navy League is assisting in the
obtaining of recruits and will
take charge of measures bearing
on the efficiency and comfort of
the men on board ships.
