President Wilson put Congressman

Congress has been asked to appro-

the committee to whom the duty was
assigned, has swept creation with a
fine-tooth comb for things TO tax,

sleeping car tickets will be reduced
from 10 to cents. One of the prop
ositions is to tax all hotel bills of
$3.50 and over 10 per cent which will

sUPT. GILBERT ON THE RACK
| For bcwing to the line let the chips
fall where they may, commend us Ia
Nathaniel b. Sewell, the excellent
and efficient Inspector and examiner
Of the State. In his official duties
Mr.. Sewell knows neither friend or
foe. IL upon examination Of their Of
fees he finds anything wrong he says
so and suggests the remedy. The last
man to come updcr his surveillance
is the Superintendent Of Public In
struction, Mr.. Gilbert. We have long
suspected that there was almost
criminal waste in this office, which
of all others should be conducted as
economically as possible and not Q
cent expended that will reduce tn,
amount for which the people ar.
taxed to give the rising generation
the benefit Of an education, without
which we perish. Mr.. Sewell finds
that a great deal Of money is taken
from the school fund 20 pay so-called
expenses that should not be in
CARED. For instance, SINCE Mr.. Gil
bert has been in Office he has en-
riched the public printer to $4,000
and his so-called school inspectors
have been permitted to draw expense
accounts nearly double their salaries.
One Of them spent 20 days In Louis
vile at a cost of S3.S4 day TO the
State and other expense accounts
were allowed not permitted by law
Nepotism seems to hold sway in the
department also, as relatives are
carried on the pay ron VINO do no,
live in Frankfort and can not earn
their salaries unless they do. A
nephew of the superintendent is also
an official favorite, who was per-
mitted to draw a salary Of 1925 for
work he did not do while attending
the University Of Kentucky. Mr..
Sewell recommends that all the IL
legal amounts paid be returned to the
treasury and that steps be taken for
the immediate refund. Mr.. Gilbert
does not seem to measure up TO the
responsibilities Of the office or he
would not permit cent Of the money
raised for the school fund to be di-
verted from its proper channel.
About half Of the revenues of the
State go to the fund for schools,
which the taxpayers would he loath
to pay if they knew how much of the
amount went to line the pockets Of
official favorites and kinspeople, who
do not render a quid pro quo, and for
printing, much of which, we dare
say is useless except to swell the
profits Of the public printer.
Mr.. Sewell is doing a great work
for the State in showing up graft.
and irregularities and the people will
owe him something better when his
term expires.

blame the farmer as there is reason for it. the high
cost OF meat meal and wheat that produces this main
essential Of life is the reason.
Our cities and towns are filed with practical farm

The remedy is to get them together and send them

Noise Is Not Patriotism.

This year of all others is time for safe and
sane Fourth Of July celebration. Independence day
with the nation at should be a thoroughly pat
riotic observance The oldtime riot Of noise death,
fire and destruction which was supposed show
patriotism, would be very much OF place under
present conditions The country needs the powder,
and it needs protect the life and limb which
sacrificed in the former observance and the millions
of property which regularly went up in smoke and
flame.
The sane Fourth movement has made remark
able progress in the past few years and this year
should see the end Of the old absurdity OF celebrating
the nations birthday pistols and crackers with
their inevitable accompaniment of racing ambulances
and changing fire engines. The deaths from Fourth
of July casualties which were 466 in 19O3 had been
reduced by 1917 TO H. while injuries which
$3.50 in the first year. last year to Formerly
the fremen expected to be kept the jump all day
the Fourth, but for several years. in Chicago and
other cities fireworks have been prohibited the
number Of alarms has actually been below the daily
average.
WITH this record it should hardly need the recon-
mendations OF the state councils of defense and the
fire marshals secure municipal orders and indi-
vdual cooperation against the use of explosives on
the Fourth The United States is likely to burn pow
der enough this year without wasting any of it on
independence day. Its list of dead and wounded in
the of liberty will be long enough without add
ing to in an antiquated and absurd Observance OF
the Fourth of July
