an automobile and a driver and went
from here to Wick, a town on the east
coast, where we remained over night
and then went to John O'GrOat, the
extreme northern point of Scotland.
That is where the North sea and the
Atlantic ocean meet. We saw some
magnificent views. We then went
along the north coast to Thurso, where
we had lunch and followed along the
Naver river and up over the Scottish
Highlands to our place again. In all,
we covered 200 miles and saw'a lot of
this country. At one time during our
trip we We're farther north than
Alaska. The whole trip cost us Sl5
each. and it~was cheap trip at that
am hoping to do it again before we
leave here. as it was surely wonder
full. Everything is going along nicely

The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1917-04-06
TAXATION FOR ROADS
IN KENTUCKY.

The trainers of the Constitution of
the United States in their endeavor
20 establish a form of government as
far removed from a monarchy as pos
sible, deemed il inadvisable 10 create
any Office or delegate any authority
without at the same time limiting that
authority or creating an additional
office and delegating such authority to
il as would serve to make it check
upon the other We find this same idea
written into all our State Constitu-
tions. This is particularly true as re-
CARDS taxation and We find a provision
Of our State Constitution which limits
the county tax rate 70 80 cents on the
hundred dollars and a further limita
ton TO the effect that the county levy
for roads and bridges should not ex.
coed twenty cents. While there MAJ
be some justification for the establish
ment Of limitations, any limitation
with respect to roads which does not
take into consideration the changing
conditions of wear, together with the
changes in the amount and character
Of travel, serves only to hamper and
retard progress and dissipate commu-
nifty wealth by not properly caring for
what we already have.
Road building on an extensive scale
IN Kentucky was started in 1927, large
" through state subscriptions for
stock in what was then called State
Roads. Then followed a period Of
road building by turnpike companies

operating under a special franchise
from the legislature. The incentive
to road building at that time being
first the dividends to be derived on
the turnpike stock from tolls receiv-
ed, and second that the community
might have better road. Under this
system in 1904, Kentucky stood first
in the list Of States in the number OF
miles Of improved highways, having
over 5000 miles Of hard surfaced road.
About 1898 there began a marked agi-
tation for the removal of the toll gate
and as a result thereof, practically all
OF the toll gates were removed from
the toll roads in the subsequent years,
some by purchase, some by gift and
some by condemnation. At any rate
the burden of purchase, together with
the additional burden of maintaining
these one time toll roads, which there
tofore had been maintained from the
proceeds Of the tolls, fell upon the tax
payer and the tax levy. 1t is signif-
cant to note that no provision was
made for an increase in the tax levy
which previous to that time had been
hardly sufficient for the needs of Other
county roads.
Prior to the elimination of the toll
gate, practically all of the traffic on
these roads was business traffic. There
was comparatively little pleasure
traffic. Since the elimination of the
till Ia Of
mobile into almost universal use, these
conditions have been largely reversed
and there are many of our roads car
rying larger percentage of pleasure
traffic than business traffic, and 10
tai volume of traffic eight and ten
times greater than under the old con1i-
tions
The sequel is very apparent. Our
tax levy already wavering under the
burden OF maintaining a large addi-
tional mileage Of roads has proven en-
tirely inadequate to provide for the in
creased wear due to the large increase
/ in traffic ana the roads of Kentuckv
have been showing a marked deteriora-
/ ton from year to year, until at the
present she has slipped from first to
fifteenth place in the list of Good
Roads States.
No rational human being expects to
receive something for nothing. The av-
erage business man is satisfied If he
receives a reasonable return for his
outlay He would not expect the same
amount Of service from two articles OF
equal cost if one was subjected t.
eight or ten times more use than the
other. He would expect to pay for
these articles in proportion to the ser
vice rendered. The law-maker and the
taxpayer, however, seem never to have
realized tina: they could free them
selves OF tie burden Of the toll gate
tax and tale over, pay for, and main
tain the turnpikes and the public roads
/ by taxation under conditions of con-
stantly increasing service and wear,
without at the same time increasing
the rate of tax or making provision in
some other way for an increased rev.
enue to meet these changed conditions.
1t is a marvellous commentary upon
the intelligence of the American tax
payer that so little Of their remarka-
BILE business acumen should be dis
played in the administration of public
funds. The remedy is obvious. More
lroads and better roads in Kentucky
can be secured only by providing adj
ditional revenue and expanding it eff
ciently.
