Citizens Committee Statement
Richmond Kentucky. October n. 1919.
To the Citizens and Tax Payers Of Madison County:
We call your attention to the statement made by the Fs
cal Court under date Of October 7h and which appeared in
the Richmond Daily Register Of October 10TH
This statement should be read by every citizen Of the
y and wish to call special attention to the clause which
reads as follows:
If, by their vote the people Of Madison
county authorize the levy Of the additional tax, the
court pledges itself to expend each year on the
roads and bridges in each magisterial district, in
addition to the sum now appropriated the entire
sum collected under the special tax in that district,
and to continue to give scrpulous care to all ex-
pendtures Of public funds for every purpose.
Please note this announcement of policy by the Fiscal
Court made before any agitation started, for
against the 20cen road tax and appears fair state
ment every way policy which ought be endorsed
representing what will give the most benefit to the most peo
pie.
Our idea is that this movement for good roads,, having
gotten started that and attention will be gwen
to the matter progresses, and that matteof
better results will be obtained the general the interest
shown by the public and tax payers.
We cannot help but believe that the voting Of the tax will

MARKETING FOR WIVES.
Queer Marriage Customs That Prevail
Among Indian Tribes.

The Azandi, tribe living in !. the
northeast of the Belgian Congo, sell
wives amazingly cheap. There is no
need for the intending bridegroom to
wait months before he can pluck up
courage to "pop the question. - A knife,
costing about IS cents, viii procure him
life's partner.
Another marriage market thrives
in the mountainous district of the Ma
falces, in New Guinea. The price of
each girl is one pig, augmented with
dogs teeth necklaces, and so on, accord
ing to the wealth of the girls parents
The proposal is usually made by proxy
the boy sending female relative to
the lady of his choice.
The preliminaries to courtship among
the Mafales are rather picturesque
When a young man, wishing to marry
goes out to seek his "ojande' Otter
ally, his fower), he. will light fire OF
a still day in a bush or in an oper
space outside his village and wait till &
slight breeze carries the fame or smok,
in one direction or another. He thel
takes that point of the compass as an
indication and walks to the next vii
lage to find his "f1ower.'

PENALIZE RAILROAD STRIKES
Senate Committee Has Voted in Favor
of the Principle.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Inclusion
in the permanent railroad legislation of
provision to penalize strikes of rail
road employees was decided upon late
yesterday by the senate interstate COM
merce committee, by vote of IA to 1.
The committee did not enter into the
details of the anti-strike legislation, the
vote being merely on the question of
adopting the principle of spenalizing
railroad employees for striking.
Senator Stanley, Democrat, of Ken
lucky, cast the only opposing vote, de-
claring he did not believe anti-strike
provisions could be enforced.
The committee vote was regarded as
making certain inclusion in the fnal
railroad bill of an anti-strike clause
somewhat similar to the clause of the
Cummins bills, proposing fines and i'm
prisonment for concerted action of EN-
ployes interfering with interstate com
merce.
The phraseology of the anti-strik'

purhase their brides. They pay sum
of money to the girls parents-usually
about 100 rupees-and, in addition, they
present the mother and the female re-
latives with new saris or shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose a wild
ow for his wife, she will only cost half
the sum mentioned. The reason why the
Santali Indians hold widows in less re-
gard than unmarried females is because
they assert that in the next world man
and wife are reunited, hence widow
who marries again is only Client to
her second husband. When young
man courts a girl who does not favor
his suit, he adopts an eccentric way to
cure her stubbornness. After having
dipped his finger in red paint, he goes
in search of the lady and imprints BIS
mark on her forehead. He may claim
her as his wife.
