~. to Richmond through Garrard
County should be built by Federal
Aid as originally proposed. or should
be built under the State Aid plan as
provided for by the last Legislature.
After a brief discussion a vote was
taken and IL was unanimously decid-
ed that the original Federal Aid plan
should be carried out; that the opera
tons Of the State Law was too indie
finite and uncertain to be relied upon
at this time, so our readers in Gar
rard County will be interested in

ICARRARD
| SENTIMENT
Turning Rapidly For
Cox For President.


No ot0er Nan0t0ate Heotsoo<oh
Governor Cox. Of Ohio, is almost
sure 20 get the instructed vote Of
Garrard county to the State Conven-
ton and from all outside appearances
Il looks now a. IL he will get Ken
tucky's entire vote instructed for
him at the National Convention
which meets this year in San Fran
cisco. Many around here are firmly
Of the opinion that Cox is the man to
win In the end and some few 20 so
far as 70 think that he Is the only
Democrat that can win in the final
election.
Hoover had a good following in
the county for some time. but since
he has declared his afiliation with
the Republican party. some Of his
most ardent admirers are dropping
him like a hot brick.
The following special from Lexing-
ton indicates that a strong organiza-
ton is being formed in Governor
Cox's behalf. with former Senator
Johnson n. Camden. Of Versailles. to
head the movement.
II says;
Kentucky Democrats backing
Governor James NJ. Cox. Of Ohio, for
the Presidency Of the United States
have gone to work in earnest to OBJ
tain for him an instructed delegation
from this state TO the national con-
vention at San Francisco. June 2s.
Headquarters for the Cox move
ment were opened Monday morning
on the tenth floor Of the Seelbaen
Hotel in Louisville.
johnson n. Camden. Of Versailles
former United States Senator. who
was Chairman Of the State Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee in 1919.
is to be at the head Of the Cox move
ment, and he is to have as his Secre-
tary Joseph Morris. Of New Castle.
who was Secretary Of the State Cam
paign committee in 1916.
Democrats who have been urged
that the state convention In Louis
vile. May 4. will send an uninstruct-
ed delegation 20 San Francisco have
commended that the movement in be-
half Of Governor Cox is a vehicle on
which certain other Democrats hope
to ride into control Of party affairs.
but the friends Of Governor Cox now
assert that the acceptance Of the
Craftsmanship by former Senator
Camden is assurance that there is no
foundation in fact for this belief.
Former Senator Camden is asking
Democrats throughout the state who
are for Gov. Cox to attend the coun-
~ mass conventions at 2 o'clock on
the afternoon Of Saturday. May /. at
the various county seats. and TO send
to the Louisville convention delegates
who are for the nomination Of Gov,
ernor Cox.
Former Senator Camden says that
whether they are Beekham men or
Stanley men. or the friends Of an
other man, should not be taken into
consideration. This is no time for
faetional strife within the Democratic
party.
"The man who undertakes to cause
the impression that the Cox move
ment Is a movement in the interest
sf any individual. branch. wing or
faction Of the Democratic party in
Kentucky is not a well-wisher for
party unity and party success. We
are hopeful that all the strong men
Of our party will be for this great
and able man. who three times has
been chosen to be Governor Of Ohio
and who has record Of achievement
second to none. Governor Cox. in
my opinion is the one man who can
lead Us to victory over the Republ-
cans in November"

A WORD TO THE SCHOOL
BOARD.
(Editorial)

SCuoOl pfopositioUS VI Hef'
that have heretofore been be-
fore the people and we are still
sincere and very DESTROYS that
good schools be maintained not
only in Garrard County but the
country over. We regret that
the NEW SCHOOL LAW en-
acted by the last Legislature is
calculated in its operation to be
harmful instead Of helpful to
the State in school matters.
The provisions of this law
which enables school authori-
ties to levy such heavy taxation
upon the people and which
makes the operation of the
schools in the State so expen-
sive brings the operation Of this
function of government into ex-
travagance rs we see IL. The
action Of the County Board OF
Garrard County in asking a
levy of the Fiscal Court of fifty
cents upon the one hundred
dollars brings the expenses for
the operation Of the schools in
the county. 10 addition TO the
large sum received from the
State. to a sun which equals
the entire levy for County pur-
poses. The whole County tax
alton being only fifty cents
which is the constitutional linn
itation for County taxation.
That is. the County School
Fund from the County alone
equals the taxation for roads,
county salaries. pauper claims
and all other expenses to run
the County government. when
only a few years ago the Coun-
ty did not pay anything for the
maintenance of schools. IL
may be proper TO say that the
State School fund has increas-
ed all the time. We advise the
County Board TO be cautious in
laying upon the people too
heavy taxation although il be
in their power so to do. We
are advised that this new
school law authorizes the trus-
tees Of graded schools To levy
a tax Of one dollar and twenty
FIVE cents per one hundred dol
lars for the maintenance of
graded schools in addition to
the State tax. We are informed
further that some enthusiastic
trustees and others in the Lam
caster Graded School District
have become SO interested in
lettering the school in this city
that they are proposing TO ex-
tend the boundaries Of the Lam
caster Graded School five miles
from town instead of two or
two and one half miles as il is
at this time. and thus include
approximately six hundred
more children of school age.
and construct enough buildings
on the school grounds in Lam
caster to accommodate this
number Of children at a huge
expense to the district. and in
addition to this have public
motor conveyances to convey
the children outside of town to
and from school daily. To US
this is a highly visionary
scheme. which would be i'm
practical in operation and
would levy a tax upon the dis
trict which would be most I'M
bearable without any promised
good results. Although il may
be stated that this Utopian
dream could be carried out
without any increase in taxa
ton the fallacy of which is en-
tirely transparent to a casual
thinker. There is no county
perhaps in the State where the
people have been more cooper
alive and progressive in the
past ten years In their efforts
