GOVERNOR ENDORSES PLAN

The Kentucky Children's Home go
ciety, exclusively devoted to the care
of homeless children, will make drive
throughout the state the week Of Co
tober n to 81, for the purpose Of rails
Ing 100000. Definite plans have been
made and Governor Black has issued a
proclamation asking the unqualified
support Of all Kentuckians.
The Kentucky Children's Home 10 one
of the states unique institutions. Dur
ing its twenty-five years Of existence II
has sent 5000 children into good
homes and hns insured them "a square
deal" from the world.
It cares for children who otherwise
would be uncared for. It gives protec-
ton to those who otherwise would
have no protection. 1t In operated by
personnel that works because its
members love to work among children.
Need New Equipment.
At present, the society IL housed In
a group Of old residences in Louisville.
These buildings are not adapted to the
needs of the institution and children
are crowded. They must sleep in
crowded rooms and play on crowded
play grounds.
When the drive is completed, the So
ciety plans to eliminate this conges-
ton. Eighty-siI acres Of land have
been purchased ten miles from Louis
Vile on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad and complete cottage farm
system has been planned.
This will give children all the room
they need, will insure their health and
take them from the murk and contin.
ing influences OF the city.
The society now has 200 children UNI
der its care. When the new home Is
completed 1t will be able to care for
many more.
The success Of the drive Is not a
question Of locality. Tho society Is q
state institution and cares for the
states homeless children. Those IN
one section are ms interested as those
In another.
Given Wide Support.
The proposed campaign for funds
has thus far received unified support.
Clergymen, teachers and prominent
citizens have signified their approval.
One hundred and ten county school Sill
perintendents are backing the propo-
sition. Hundreds of teachers say they
will do all In their power to insure Its
success.
School children who have homes will
be given opportunities to assist in pro-
vidlng home for those children who
have none.
Each child will be asked to give.
All schools will be solicited by COM
mittee. There will be no competition,
but pupils will be asked to contribute
what they can.
Citizens committees are being
formed and will canvass the town in
which organized.
Remember, It's for the children who
haven't the home your child has.
The success of the drive will give
health to children who otherwise
would be emaciated and weak. 1t Will
give them an opportunity to become
good citizens.
The proposition will shortly be UP to
the people of Kentucky. Kentucky will
see that 1t goes through with Smash.

III REPORT SOON

Liberal deductions for business ex.
penses are allowed by the new reven.
ne bill.
Business expenses" are the
amounts actually paid or incurred dur
ing the tax year in the conduct of a
business, trade or profession. In COM
putting net incomes a merchant may
find his profits on the following basis
First ascertain the gross sales and
the other items of gross income, such
as interest on bank balances and mis-
cellaneous items. Then add together
the inventory at the beginning of the
year and the cost of goods purchased
for resale. From this sum subtract
the inventory at the end of the year,
and the result is the cost of goods sold.
This cost, plus necessary business ex-
penes is to be deducted from the
gross sales and other income and the
results is the net income of the busi-
ress.
If the Taxpayers accounts are kept
on receipt and payment basis, the
return may be made in accordance
herewith.
"A merchant may claim as deduc-
tions the amount paid for advertising
hiring of clerks and other employees,
the cost of light and fuel, water, tele-
phone, ETC., used in his place of BUSH

they could do,
Yet have the silver to show.
They went from their homes at the
summons for men,
They drilled in the heat of the sun
They fell into line with pluck that
was fine;
Each cheerfully shoutered gun,
They were ready to die, for Old Glory
on high,
They were eager to meet with the
foe;
They were just like the rest of our
bravest and best.
Through they've only the silver to

Their bodies stayed here, but their

And the boys who looked death in

For the cause, had no fear-for they
knew, waiting here,
There were many to fill up each

Oh, the ships came and went, till the

And the tyrant went down with the

But he still might have reigned but for

And have only the silver to show.
So here's to the soldiers who never saw

And here's to the boys unafraid!
Let us give them their due; they were
glorious, too,
And it wasn't their fault that they

They were eager to share in the sacri-

Secretary julius Schmahl Has Furn-
ished Bill to the Committees
on Automobiles.

A bill to regulate the use Of head
lights on motor vehicles, as recon-
mended by the American Automobile
association has been furnished by Sec
retary of State julius A. Schmahl to
the chairmen of the senate and house
committees on automobiles for carly
introduction in the Legislature.
The proposed law would require all
automobiles to be equipped with ap-
proved nonglare lenses, so adjusted as
to throw light not more than 200 feet
ahead, yet making objects cleary dis
cernible at 100 feet. The secretary of
state, in whose department auto Ii
censes are issued, is authorized to APP
point a board of three experts to APP
prove and certify various makes of
lenses. The secretary also is to APP
point inspectors to go out on the high
ways and enforce the regulations.
It is proposed to make the new law
effective January /, 1920.

.WOMEN'S MINIMUM WAGE
What the French Women are facing
in the Industrial Situation.

| French women are demanding sew
en- francs day as a minimum wage in
place of the two francs a day which
was the current price for woman in
dustrial labor before the war, accord
! ing to Miss Mary E. Mcdowell of Chi
lcago, who has just returned from
England and France where she was
sent by the National War Work Coun-
Gil of the Young Women's Christian
Association to investigate industrial
conditions.
Give hundred thousand places will
have to be filled in industry" Miss
| Mcdowell said, "as France has lost
| 100000 men through the war. Many
of the women who were homemakers
will have to take their places and
and many women are anxious to do it
as they have lost their homes and their
families.
's1he day of manufacturing and of
large factories is surely coming to
France.
This will mean more work and work
under better conditions for women but
on the other hand it will mean that
the world will lose the exquisite hand
work which has always come from
France. The silks and other beautiful
fabrics for which France is famous
have never been made in factories but
in homes and handlooms which have
been handed down from generation.
Many women are no longer able to do
fine needlework though-they have
ruined their hands by working in mu-
nitions. Every effort must be made
to save them from the sweat shop
system.
II talked to group of sixty women
in one large industrial center and ask
ed them what they considered q fair
wage. In few minutes they answer
ed me "Seven Francs" and explained
that that would provide food, heat.
light and comfortable place in which
to live. 1t is impossible for them to
live on the wage which they received
before the War-from two to three
francs a day. Living has increased
so tremendously that wages must stav
up or prices go down.
1t is essential IN my mind that the
II. w. G. A. stay in France until
French women are able to take up the
work which the Z. w. G. A. does. They
have offered contribution which no
other organization was equipped to
give an important one in keeping wo-
me sane and giving them the recrea-
ton which they would not have had
otherwise. IN their leisure hours"

paid in the maintenance and repair of
an automobile used in making profess
sional Gales, the expenses of attending

societies and subscriptions to medical

deduction are allowed to dentist.
The farmer may deduct all amounts
paid in preparing his land for crop,
and the cultivation, harvesting and
marketing of the crop. The cost of
seed and fertilizer used and amounts
spent in caring for live stock are de-
ductible items. The cost of minor re-
pairs, to farm buildings, other than
dwelling, and of fences, farm machin-
cry, and wagons may be claimed, also
the cost of farm tools which are used
upon in the course of a year or two
and of materials for immediate use.

etc. The cost of machinery of a per-
manent character, such as threshing
machine or tractor is held to be cap
ital investment, and is not allowable
deduction. Deduction may be made
for rent paid for a farm.
This in general way outlines the
ordinary expenses incurred by mer-
chant, professional man or farmer,
and the principle underlying these al
lowances is equally applicable in the
conduct of any trade, business or pro-
fession.

USE ALSIKE INSTEAD OF RED
CLOVER.

Because of the shortage of red
clover seed farmers are advised by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture to substitute alsike for red
clover in their spring seeding oper-
ations. On the basis of present mar
ket prices 2 acres can be seeded with
alsike for what it would cost to seed
i acre to red clover. Farmers who
purchase clover seed should require
the seedsmen to sell these seed under
label, presenting the termination,
purity, date of termination test, and,
in some instances, the point of origin
of the seed. A special agreement be-
tween the Secretary of Agriculture
and the domestic seed trades provide
that seedsmen distribute their seeds
under label. Farmers should see that
merchants live up to this agreement.
The shortage OF red clover seed, the
department explains, results from
more clover hay being made last year.
decreased imports OF seed, the unfa-
vorable season last year, and the
breaking Of clover sods for wheat.

HOW INTERNATIONAL
UNIONS HAVE DIVIDED
TO PROMOTE WELFARE
(By Charles Perry Taylor.)

(By Charles Perry Taylor
In some few organizations the
amalgamation of various branches
of one industry having been accom-
plished, they have voluntarily sep
arated into a number of interna-
tional unions of their respective
branches. That is especially true
of the International Typographical
Union, which until some years ago
had under it's jurisdiction and part
of the organization the compost
tors, proofreaders, newswriters,
photo-engravers, pressmen, book
binders, stereotypers, electrotypers,
and mailers. BY agreement, book
binders, stereotypers, and electro
typers, and photo-engravers have
formed separate organizations from
the International Typographical
Union, and generally cooperating
in their local and national councils.
The American trade union move
ment is one of constant growth. de-
velopment and expansion. Since
its inception, the American Fedora
tion of Labor has been the most
practical and beneficial general or
ganization of the wage-workers of
the continent; has takor cognizance
of the constant change and transi-
ton in industry and by every
means within its power has sought
not only to effect the organization
of unorganized workers, but to
bring about utility, solidarity and
fraternity among organized work
ers, and has stimulated by every
means within its power the neces-
sity for closer cooperation, fedora
tion aud amalgamation of existing
trade unions to the end that each
may be helpful to all.
The American Federation of La
Dor realizes that chain is no
stronger than its weakest link;
that the grand army of organized
labor cannot advance much further
than its most backward column;
that the labor organizations are
made up of human beings who are
not cast in plastic molds, cannot be
placed in rigid forms, and there
fore, it must concede that the au-
thority vested in the affiliated
unions and their members must be
the largest consistent with the gem
eral progress and the welfare of the
entire wage-working masses.

CAUSUSES NOT
COMPATIBLE WITH
UNION POLICIES
(By w. NJ. Short.)


The practice of holding caucus
es prior to conventions and cleo
tions in which certain groups of
people attempt to formulate poll
cies for all the others is an evil
that can't be too vigorously con-
demned. It's practice in the old
line political parties is being in a
measure discontinued because of
the general disapproval of the prac-
tice. Almost every shade of pro-
gressives have abandoned it. There
has been much just condemnation
of it in the ranks of labor, yet we
find a certain element in our move
ment who, under the guise of pro-
gressivism, are resorting to this
discredited practice. There could
be no greater proof of the untena-
bleness of their position and the
unsoundness of their program than
the fact that they have been driv-
EN- to such extremity.
The whole policy of the progress
sive labor movement of America,
and especially of this State, has
been against such Anticipated pro-
cedure because of the various evils
that have always been the out
growth of the caucus system, and it
is safe to assume that the dele
gates to the convention will see
that such usurpation of authority
is firmly repudiated.
