IT Is A LONG. LONG WAY TO W.
- S. QUOTA.

War Savings Stamps are being sold
in this city and county every day,
and those in charge Of the CAMPAIGN
are achieving results that are to be
expected when one considers how
nobly Bourbon has responded to every
phase of the war activities. It's a
long, long way, however, to that
S390,000, and only by a steady
climb from now on can we get to a
point of vantage where we can see
over the top.
s 1t is the earnest desire of Miss Eli
zabeth Steele, County Chairman and
the efficient corps of assistants, that
every citizen of this city and county
shall be enrolled in the list of con-
tfibutors to the War Savings cam
paign. Everyone should come for
ward and make the investment. You
will not be giving your money, you
will be putting it where it will be
safe and where it will remain safe.
too.
Few people in this county, indeed.
now fail to realize that we are fight
ing a relentless, brutal enemy. The
indictment against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He is absolutely
devoid of pity or chivalry. This is
the kind Of enemy our boys are fight
ing to-day and will be fighting for
some time, and this is why all of us
must get down and put every bit of
our strength back of the Government.
For one thing we must buy only
those things necessary to maintain
ourselves in the most efficient condi-
ton. That will give the Govern
ment more labor and materials for
war purposes.
And then with our savings we must
buy War Savings Stamps. That will
give the Government current funds
with which to use labor and materials
in the successful prosecution of the
war. We must do President Will
son asks us to do in his message
pledge ourselves on or before June
28 to save constantly and to buy
Government securities regularly. We
shall then be doing our part.

THE MARCHMONT OIL COMPANY
ORGANIZED BY PARIS MEN

What promises to be one OF the
most successful oil companies operat-
ing in the Kentucky oil fields was or,
ganized in this city Tuesday, June
lis, it being named The Marchmont
Oil Company. The officers of the con-
Germ are as follows: William Shire
! the well-known jeweler, being elect
ed President; Withers Davis, the pop
ular young clothing merchant, being
elected Vice-President, and Fayette
Ardery, of the firm of Ardery Bros.
being Secretary-Treasure The direc
tors elected are as follows: William
Shire, Charlton Clay, Withers Davis
James H. French and Fayette Ardery
Robert C. Talbot was chosen as gen.
eral counsel.
This company has several hundred
acres of good looking territory scat
tered throughout the oil producing
territory and they will begin opera
lions in the immediate future. They
have one particularly valuable piece
of property in Estill and Lee coun-
ties, which has been examined and
approved by two well known geOlOg-
lists. They have one lease of sew
enty-five acres on the well-known
Lee-Estill structure in close proxim-
ity to the famous Big and Little
Sinking production, and they contem-
plate the commencement of drilling
in that vicinity within the next few
days.
The Kentucky oil fields are fast
coming to the front as the very best
in the United States, it appealing
particularly to old-line oil men be-
cause of the small cost of operating
the Kentucky wells. ranging in depth
from three hundred to fifteen hum
dred feet, whereas the wells in the
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas fields range in
depth all the way to three thousand
five hundred feet. Kentucky is
awakening to her great opportunity
as an oil producing State and the
Oil City Derrick, the greatest oil
paper published puts Kentucky at
the head Of the list for oil Invest
ments.
Winchester and Lexington are so
far the oil centers of this State, but
Of late quite a number of Bourbon
people are getting interested
in the oil game, and all indications
point to a marked success for their
efforts. Paris is very near the oil
ields, and we know of no reason why
we should not within the near flu
ture be also known as an oil center.
We have as good business establish
nents here as there is in the State,
md no banks anywhere are more SUBJ
stantial and successful than ours.

ARID LAND
FOR CULTIVATION.

I particularly direct your attention
to the very practical plans which the
secretary of the interior has developed
in his annual report and. before your
committees for the reclamation Of
arid, swamp and eut-over lands which
might, II the states were willing and
able to cooperate, redeem some. three
hundred million acres Of land for cul-
tivation. There are said to be fifteen
or twenty million acres Of land in the
west at present arid, for whose recla-
nation water is available, If properly
conserved. There are about two
hundred and thirty million acres from
which the forests have been cut, but
which have yet been cleared for
the pillow and which lie waste and
d%esolate. These lie scattered all over
the union. And there are nearly
under swamps or subject to periodical
overflow or too wet for anything but
grazing, which ID perfectly feasible to
drain and protect and redeem. The
congress can at once direct thousands
of the returning soldiers to the recla-
nation Of the arid lands which it has
already undertaken, If it will but en-
large the plans and the appropriations
which it has entrusted to the depart
ment of the interior. It Is possible in
dealing with our unused land to effect
a great rural and agricultural develop
ment which will afford the best sort
of opportunity to men who want to
help themselves, and the secretary OF
the interior has thought the possible
methods out in q way which is worthy
Of your most friendly attention.
I have spoken Of the control which
must yet for a while, perhaps for a
long while, be exercised over ship,
ping because Of the priority of serv-
ice to which forces overseas are

ments. 1t would have been impossible
otherwise to combine maximum pro-
duction at the factories and mines and
farms with the maximum possible a
supply to take the products to the
troop shipments and freight shipments
without regard to the advantage or
disadvantage Of the roads employed;
impossible to subordinate, when neces-
sary, all questions Of convenience to
the public necessity; impossible to give
the necessary financial support to the
roads from the public treasury. But all
these necessities have o been served
and the question is, what is best for
the railroads and for the public in
the future.

whose aptitudes are known or will be
sought out by employers will fnd no
difficulty, 1t is safe to say, in finding
place and employment But there
will be others who will be at q loss
where to gain a livelihood unless
pains are taken to guide them and
put them in the way OF work. There
will be a large floating residiuum OF
labor which should not be left wholly
to shift for itself. It seerns to me i'm
portant therefore, that the develop
ment of public works of every sort
should be promptly resumed in order
that opportunities should be created
for unskilled labor in particular, and
that plans should be made for such
developments Of our unused lands
and our natural resources as we have
hitherto lacked stimulation to UNDER

NEW TAX LEvrES.

INV 1AA ACv1GSs
For the steadying and facilitation
OF our W domestic business readjust-
ments nothing is more important thar
tha immediate determination of> the
taxes that are to be leyaed tor 1918,
burden Of taxation must be lifted
from business as sound methods Of
financing the governmentwill permit,
and those who conduct the great es-
sential industries of the country must
be told as exactly as possible what
obligations to the government they
will be expected to meet in the years
Immediately ahead of them. 1t will
be OF serious consequence to the coun-
try to delay removing all uncertain
ties in this matter a single day longer
than the right processes Of debate
justify. 1t is idle to talk OF successful
and confident business reconstruction
before those uncertainties are re-
solved.
If the val had continued 1t would
have been necessary to raise at least
eight billion dollars by taxation, pay
able in the yea 1919. but the wal has
ended and l agree with the secretary
Of the treasury that it will be safe to
reduce the amount to six billions. An
immediate rapid decline in the ex-
penses of the government is not to be
looked for. Contracts made for war
supplies will, indeed, be rapidly can-
celled and liquidated, but their i'm
mediate liquidation will make heavy
drains on the treasury for the months
just ahead Of us. The maintenance Of
our forces on the other side Of the
sea is still necessary. Al considerable
proportion Of those forces must re-
main In Europe during the period Of
occupation, and those which are
brought homo will be transported and
demobilized at heavy expense for
months to come. The interest on our
provision made for the retirement Of
the obligations Of the government
! which represent 1t. But these de-
mands will. Of course, fall much be-
low what q continuation Of military
operations would have entailed and
six billions should suffice to supply a
sound foundation for the financial
operations Of the year.
entirely concur with the secretary
OF the treasury In recommending that
tthe two billions needed in addition to
law be Obtained from the profits
which have accrued and shall accrue
from war contracts and ~distinctively
war business, but that these taxes be
confined to the war profits accruing
in 1918 or in 1919 from business
originating in war contracts. I urge
your acceptance Of his recommends
subsequently, that the taxes to be
paid in 1920 should be reduced from
six to four billions. Any arrange
ments less definite than these would
add elements Of doubt and confusion
to the critical period of industrial re-
adjustment through which the coun-
try must now Immediately pass. and
which no true friend of the nations

to be responsible for creating or pro-
longing. Clearly determined condi-
tions, clearly and simply charted, are
indispensable to the economic revival
and rapid industrial development
