NO WAR POETS RE-
PORTED THUS FAR
Breckenridge County Is Not
Represented On The Roster
of KY. Poets.

Louisville, KY, June 16, 1919. (Spec-
ial to The Breckenridge News)-The
Louisville papers recently published
an announcement of the establish
ment of Department of War Verse
under the Kentucky Council of De-
Tense and asked that the poets of
Kentucky cooperate with the Poetry
Historian in making the records
complete. By complete is meant
containing photograph, biograph-
ical sketch, and at least one poem
from each War Verse writer in the
State. The writers do not have
to be recognized in the literary world,
although those recognized are to be
recorded too, for much verse has
been written by those who never
wrote before.
Mrs. Cecie Jackson Sea, of Ill East
ST. Catherine ST., Louisville, KY, who
has been appointed to take charge of
the poetry work, announces that al
though she has some of Kentucky's
best poetry in her files, she feels sure
it is a very small percentage of what
has been written.
The following counties are repres-
ented, sevefel of them having two or
more poets to their credit:
Bullitt, Daviess, Fayette, Grayson,
Graves, Hancock, Hardin, Hart, JEFF
ferson, Logan, Meade. Marion, Muh-
lenberg.
An appeal is made to every poet
and every interested citizen to COM
municate with Mrs. Sea and help
make clean sweep of the states.

have already expressed themselves
through the Chamber of Commerce.
This organization was one of the first
to adopt a resolution calling on the
Government to remove all restrictions
and restore the great public utilities of
the country to private ownership and
management. Our own experience and
the statistics above quoted show that

Under the government ownership
plan suggested by the labor unions for
the railroads. these roads would cease
to pay state and county taxes thruout

RESTORE THE RAILROADS

In view Of the fact that Congress
must soon work out plans for return
ing the railways to their prior owners,
it is interesting to compare the expe'
Renee of several European nations,
which long since went in for public
ownership of railways, with our own.
The Socialists often point with pride to
the Italian railways as an example OF
the success Of government ownership.
The facts are that in 1905 the Italian
Government socialized s, 1856 miles OF
railroads. Under private ownership,
these lines paid small dividends, paid
millions Of dollars in taxes to help sup
port the government. and gave good
service. Under public ownership, the
government, up to the breaking out OF
the war, added so. 1913 hands to the pay
roll without adding single mile OF new
line. and these railroads have become
politicalzed from end to end.
While the wages are about 81 per
day. the freight is twice as high as in
this country, and the annual
average losses from 1905 to 1914
were from $4,000. 900 to s42.oOO.oOo to
say. nothing Of the $40. OOO. 900 or sl2. oOO'
600 lost in taxes. Since the war, taxes
have increased tremendously, and the
government had to vote $3.50, GOO. 00t

The rates on the socislized railroads
of Europe average from 80 to 300 pei
cent higher than the rates in this coun
try, although the wages are less thar

ownership we enjoyed the cheapest
freight rates in the world. and the
