lED FRANKS MAKES
F|RE-EAT|NG SPEECH

A big crowd of republicans with q
few democrats scattered here and
there heard Ed T.. Franks, of Owens
boro, deliver one of his fire-eating adj
dresses for the Republican ticket here
Saturday afternoon, at the court
house. He made some salty charges,
which are being published also as ad-
vertising by the republican campaign
committee, concerning alleged extrav-
agaht expenditure Of funds by Stan
ley's Board Of Control, with which
Gov. Black has had nothing to do and
which the people are confident that
Gov. Black will correct, If proven true,
II he is elected governor.
Franks charged that the School OF
Reform at Greendale had been man
ned by incompetents appointed solely
for political reasons and claimed there
had been gross irregularities in the
purchase Of supplies. He exhibited a
bill of A. j. Armstrong, clothing bro
ker of Louisville, for 1858 yards of
small stripe denim at 81 a yard when
he claimed identically the same pro-
duct had been offered by another at
40 cents q yard. He claimed that no
such firm as Armstrong exists and an
effort is being made to discover the
identity of the party who got the
contract under that name.

BELGIAN KING THANKS
AMERICA FOR AID
tBy Assoc ciated Press,

Washington, Oct. 28-King AL
bert, of the Belgians, paid hom-
age in the House of Representa- :
tivese today to the American
army which he described as "the
decisive factor in determining
victory" In his address to the
Senate a few minutes earlier, he
asserted nothing could better
characterize the reign of univer-
sal democracy" than the friend
ship between Belgium and the
United States. His addresses
were the longest and most inn
portant he had made in America.
They are intended as messages to
entire nation and his sincerity
in expressing the thanks of Bel
gium to America for her aid was
plainly evident.

should be continued but the improve
ment of the roads and bridges can
not be pushed as the court feels it
should be and as the people expect
it should be, so long as the revenue
is no greater than it now is. The
traffic over the roads at this time is
at least five times as great as it was
10 years ago.. The demand for a
better road than was formerly built,
is justified and necessary under pres
ent traffic conditions, yet in view of
all these things which are undisputed
and evident to every thinking man
in the county-this Court is frequent
ly censured because it is unable to
meet every demand made upon it for
the construction and Improvement Of
the Roads and Bridges of the county.
We have available as the Fiscal
Agents Of the taxpayers and people
of Madison county, for the upkeep,
construction, reconstruction and for
all purposes in connection with roads,
bridges, culverts, and etc., about
$4,000 each year which if used on
the pixies alone, would make about
$3.50 per mile, a sum wholly made
quate to even maintain them in
reasonably good condition, and if this
sum were distributed over the entire
mileage Of roads it would only place
about $67.00 per mile for mainten-
ance, and under this arrangement no
consideration is given to bridges or
culverts, both Of which are very cost
ly when constructed in first class
manner.
The rate Of taxation for all county
purposes (other than schools) over
which this court has the control was
reduced at the April term to 46 cents
on each 500 which is the lowest tax
rate paid in Madison county since
1897 and is as low at the present
time as the rate in any county in the
state in which any effort is made to
maintain reasonable public improve
ments and 1t Is the settled judge
ment and convicted of the members
of the court that sound business
policy would be shown in maintaining
and extending the Improvement Of
B.. f. %. /. E =. 4.

Richmond, KY

Oct. Z, 1919.
TO THE CITIZENS AND TAX PAY
ERS OF MADISON COUNTY:
The Fiscal Court having by vote
Of six to one at its meeting Sept. End,
1919, ordered an election to be held
Nov. 4th, 1919 to ascertain the senti-
ment of the voters of Madison coun-
ty upon a proposition to levy a
special tax of 20 cents on each
$4,000 worth Of taxable property in
the county for improving or con-
structing Roads and Bridges in the
county; feels that a statement of the
reasons for calling said election-the
present condition of finances of the
county and of the maintenance of the
Roads and Bridges, the cost in con-
nection Herewith, the revenue now
available for the purpose, together
with the proposed use Of the fund
which would be created in the event
the proposed tax should beScarried by
a majority vote of the people in
November, should be made available
to every voter Of the county, in order
that he may cast his vote intelligent
ly on this issue, which this court feels
is of far more importance to the peo-
pie Of this county than the election
Of officials or other minor matters.
Madison county has 278 miles Of
pixies to maintain, has 469 miles of
earth roads to maintain and more
than 200 bridges Of span greater
than 10 feet to maintain and fre-
quently replaced, over water courses
in the county, besides innumerable
culverts. Only comparatively small
mileage of our roads are now in first
class condition, some Of the bridges
constructed in the very recent past
are modern and suitable for present
needs Of the traffic and this work

Washington, Oct. % War time

Immediately after the Senate rat
ihes the German peace. treaty, it
was said today at the White

Officials explained that the "

war would end legally with rati-

While the White House state
fnent was being issued, an effort
was made in the Senate to repass
the enforcement bill as the House
did last night. Several democrats
objected, however, and a Ions
parliamentary wrangle ensued,
