ROAD TAX ELECTION
TO BE DISCUSSED
Fiscal Court To Hold Special Session
Tuesday With Prominent Men
Appearing Before Il.

Much interest is being manifested
in the special meeting of the Madison
county Fiscal Court which will be
here Tuesday for the purpose Of con-
sidering calling an election on the
question of imposing 20-cent road
tax to improve the highways of this
county. State Road Commissioner
Rodman Wiley will be here and a rep
resentative of the Louisville CONNER
cial organizations also, it is under
stood. There seems to be considerable
sentiment in favor Of holding such an
election, for it is evident something
must be done or Madison's splendid
road system is going to ruin rapidly.
In a statement sent out from the
State Road Department, Commission
er Wiley says:
The greatest handicap to road
building in the various counties is the
lack of money.
II any tax payer will take the time
to investigate and ascertain the num-
Der of miles of road in his county and
the amount Of road fund, he will tes-
tify to the truth of the above state
ment.
Labor is now practically 100 pei
cent higher than it was in 1916 and
1917. The cost of all material that
enter into the construction has in
creased from 25 to rs per cent. Yet
the road fund has not increased in
proportion. 1t is simply bushes:
proposition. Unless the counties arr
given more money, the roads will gel
worse instead of better.
The best way for a county to rais'
money for road purposes is by voting
the 20-cent road tax. If a man.!
property is assessed at 81 900 his par
would be only 81, and to the farme'
that would mean about one-fourtl
barrel of corn, four TO FIVE pounds-o
tobacco, two pounds of wool, one bush
el Of wheat.
As matter of fact, it is less thai
the average man spends for tobacco o
picture shows.
| 1t should be remembered that it i
really an investment because he re
Iceives ten-fold benefit for every dol
lar paid in for road purposes.
If the Fiscal Court so desires
can pass a resolution to give back t
each magisterial district the amour
the people in that district paid be
cause of the extra tax to be used o
1.-THE roads in that district.
Roads are a good investment fror
every angle. The people Of Kentuck
are as progressive as they are in an
: state so it is hoped that they win vot
the extra tax which will enable th
? courts to build some roads.
Il Don't let any state get ahead Of ol
kentucky in roadbuilding.

Watch Out for "Tax Experts

A warning against flake experts"
on income tax has been sounded by
the Internal Revenue Bureau, in a
statement received by Collector John
w. Hughes from Commissioner Daniel
C. Roper.
Business houses and individual tax
payers are being canvassed this year
by numer so-called Income Tax Ex-
perts,' who offer to use their magic
wand of income tax wisdom to relieve
the busy taxpayer from all worries
about his tax responsibilities.
81 desire to make public announce
ment for the information of taxpayers
that an investigation of the qualifica-
ton of many of these experts will
disclose the fact that very few have
had the training and experience that
would place them anywhere near the
expert class.
"Some of them were temporary en-
ployes of the government who are at
tempting to capitalize this fact re-
gardless of their personal knowledge
of the revenue laws and regulations,
Others are soliciting clients on the
strength of diplomas as Income Tax
Experts obtained after taking long
distance courses by means of printed
instructions of doubtful value
Taxpayers should not be allowed
themselves to be imposed upon by
strangers who claim TO be income tax
experts. They should discriminate
carefully between really helpful, au.
thoritative advice in tax matters, and
the irresponsible brand peddled un'
der glittering pretensities.
"The Bureau is arranging TO fur
nish for the benefit of income taxpay'
ers in every city and town in tbs
country, a free advisory service by
trained collectors, agents, Inspectors
and deputies. At the Offices of th'
the Collectors and their deputies, ant
at other central points, free informa
ton and advice with respect to films
returns under the new revenue bill
may be had up to the final date fo
fling such returns -----sss-----
Banks, trust companies and sim
lilar responsible institutions have al
ways co-operated in furnishing au
Ithentic income tax information, an
have generously offered to serve tn
government and taxpayers in this re
lspect this year."
