LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Editor Signal.
Mt. Vernon, KY.
Dear SIR
7o am informed by reliable
citizens of Mt. Vernon that con.
diti0us in Keckcastle are almost
intolerable at this time, due to
the illegal sale of liquor, and
that practically nothing is being
done to relieve the situation.
The Statutes provide that if
liquor is brought into local op.
ton territory for sale, a crime
is committed by the person guilty
OF that act. The county officials
are justified in Selling packages
containing liquor brought into
Rockcastle County for sale, and
it Is their sworn duty to do this.
If the officers and good citizens
work together and all do their
full duty, the bootlegger will be
compelled to 60 out of business,
and conditions in the county
will inevitably improve. 1t is
up to Us. ! propose to continue
the fight until the battle Is won,
and all / ask is, that l be given
the proper backing and encour.
agement by the good citizens OF
that county.
In order that the fight may be
auspiciously begun and successful
lily carried out at the coming
term of the Circuit Court, 1t is
necessary that every lover oil
law and order. and especially
every person opposed to the
liquor traffic, in Rockcastie, at
tend the opening of Circuit Court
at Mt. Vernon the first Monday
In February. 1919, and assist in
the perfection Of an Organization
to fight this infamous business,
no that the mighty power OF the
whole county may be enlisted in
the campaign for its overthrow
This accomplished, l feel that
the victory will be practically
won. I; therefore, appeal to the
temperance people of my native
county to come to the county
seat February 3rd, 1919, with
their minds made up TO destroy
this poisonous {, viper that Il

Phoenix, Ariz-. Feb. 13.-The traffic
bureau OF the Phoenix chamber Of
commerce declares that rank discrim-
nation is shown against this city in
freight rates as compared with those
charged to the jobbing points OF Fl
Paso and Los Angeles.
For instance, It is claimed that q
carload Of farming implements
shipped from Chicago goes to Fl Paso
for $3.50. for 1868 miles OF travel.
while the rate TO Phoenix, 435 miles
further on, is Sos.
StiH worse, from a local standpoint
the FL Paso jobber can land such
freight in Maricopa. Arizona. 4-ls
cents per 100 pounds cheaper than the
Phoenix merchant can. The rates TO
Phoenix and Los Angeles on certain
commodities is the same, but the coast
JObber generally has a better rate TO
Arizona western border points than
has Phoenix.

The same conditions are known in
