HIGH COST OF LIV-
ING OLD PROBLEM

While discussions and investiga-
tons may help in a limited way in
regulating the prices of food, no
really substantial reduction can be
accomplished in violation of or
contrary to the old law OF supply
and demand. 1t is no new problem

man Emperor, diocletian, as long
ago as A. ID. 301 and maybe longer.
There were many Theorists in those
days who thought they could ad-

material relief, except that based
ON supply and demand.

AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee not only reports favora-
bly, the treaty by which $25,000,-
900 is to be paid to Colombia but
makes the report unanimous. For
whatever it may reflect of a dis
position to admit and atone for a
great wrong done ID weak neigh
Dor this is welcome.
It is sixteen years, lacking three
months, since the trumped-up "revo
luton" at Panama through which,
as President Roosevelt later said,
81 took the Canal Zone and let Con-
gress debate" And not until NOW
has the United States got around
to the point where 1t seems to be
ready to make amends in some
measure for this Prussian-like act
of aggression and robbery.
The Government of the United
States at that time and by that
performance treated as a scrap OF
paper and tore up its treaty of 49,
46-S by which the United States
had guaranteed to Colombia its
rights of sovereignty and property
over the Isthmus of Panama, and
Germany did no more than execute
a grander imitation later on with
the guaranteed neutrality ,of Bel
GUM. The necessity" which
knew no law in the later case was
no less strongly pleaded for justifi-
cation in the earlier case. But

The majority given in this coun.
ty for George w. jolly over Repub-
lican machine candidate for Attor-
ney General is telling thrust at
the party bosses who assumed the
responsibility of naming the men to
be placed on the ballot under the
log cabin. 1t is an expression of
righteous indignation of the voters
who feel that they should have
something to say as to their candi-
dates for State offices. The truth
is the stating scheme hatched-up
by the self-appointed guardians Of
the Republican party is an evasion
of the primary law which was in
tended for the very purpose Of CIV
ing the voters a chance to express
thcir choice for party nominations.

WHEAT IN VARIOUS ASPECTS

With the promise two months
ago Of a record-breaking wheat har-
vest, Congress was urged to with
draw the guaranteed price, on the
ground that to maintain 1t would
cost the Treasury billion dollors.
The World pointed out at the time
that something besides profit and
loss and keeping faith with the far
mer was involved. Wheat is a spe-
culative crop and there can be moth
ing certain about 1t until it is in
the bins.
Unfavorable weather in many
sections has diminished the yield
and impaired the quality to such
an extent that, with great shortages
abroad. there is prospect of world
scarcity rather than of the oversup-
ply which was so confidently pre-
dicted. If Congress had removed
all restrictions upon the market the
Chicago Board of Trade, acting on
the theory that there was to be an
excessive production, would have
beaten down the price and gained
options on the entire crop. Now,
exaggerating the damage by the
usual methods of panic, it probably
would be asking about 81 a bushel
for a commodity under its exclu-
sive control.
Thus the wisdom as well as the
honesty of maintaining the war
pledge to the wheat-grower has
been fully demonstrated. Nothing
in this situation, however, warrants
the complaints of some Western
farmers because the Food Admin
istration is not paying them the fix
ed price for grain that fails to pass
inspection. The Government did
not guarantee either yield or quail
ity. When it agreed to a minimum
of S2.20 a bushel 1T said plainly
that it meant mo" / northern
spring wheat or its equivalent"
and it has kept its word.-New
York World.

ROAD TAX DEFEAT

The voters have again, and for
the third time within less than Il
year, decidedly registered their OPP
position to the Road Tax PROPOSE
ton. According to our opinion,
formed from expressions of men be-
longing to different political parties
the continuous rejection OF the
question is not because of indif-
ference as to road improvement,
nor is it because of an willingness
to contribute in taxes for the bet
terment of the county's highways.
1t is more from the lack of conf
dencc in the fiscal agents of the
county in the disbursement and APP
Ulication of the funds. In other
words, the tax payers, many OF
them. are not favorably impressed
with the Fiscal Courts manner of
financing. They seem to think 1t
costs too much for the results OBJ
tanned. Too much consumed in
compromising County officials and
ex-county officials for supervising,
constructing and etc.
Then, forcing the question so fire.
quently, has become. distasteful to
many people.
Last November election, road tax
submitted; March Sth, special cleo
ton, road tax; then again Saturday
making three elections on practi-
cally the same proposition in nine
months. 1t costs money to hold
these elections and the taxpayers
foot the bills.
This is not all. The people are
deprived of the privilege of seeing
Or knowing how their money is
spent. This same fiscal court, by
defantly refusing to publish. as
the law requires, a statement of re-
ciepts and disbursements not
merely a balance sheet, but an
itimized statement in the paper
having the largest circulation in
the county-says in effect, that the
tax payers have no right to know
where their money goes. Yes,
gentlemen, it is your duty, they
say, to vote for and pay the taxes,
but with that your rights end, We
will eXpend the proceeds without
your advice and it is presumptious,
indeed, for you to demand a show
ing. Such actions on the part of
the court are being condemned by
the people, and have led one MEM
Der, be it said to his credit, to an
nounce that he proposes to resign.
We sympathiZe with that member
in his hopeless fight for the right.
George Rowe is not of our politi-
cal faith, but we, with all others
who know him, admire his upright
stand and his devotion to the inter-
est of those who have intrusted
him with Office. AS to the others,
just wait and see what the people
think of their official carer.
We believe it was Lincoln who
said, "If you like that sort Of thing
then that is the sort of thing you
like" For these reasons it may
be useless to force another vote on
the Road tax until we have some
other changes.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1919-08-06

The mournful letter of our old
friend, ]. H. Thomas, must have
created some sympathy among his
friends as the road tax failed, and
the agony expressed in his letter
it seems was based on the arrone-
Gus assumption that the tax would
carry in the county. The effect is
shown by the vote in his old home
precinct, Sulphur Springs, that
went II against it, and in his more
recent home, Narrows that rejected
the proposition by vote of so to
25. This illustrates the truth of
the old saying that most of our
troubles never really come.
