George Washington
John Washington

who settled in Virginia about 1867.
He had only moderate education, somewhat
defective, except in mathematics and it is record
that he was mostly seftaught At the age of nineteen
he appointed adJutant OF the virginia troops Win
the rank Of Major
In 1853, when barely 2l years old, he made
commander of the northery district of Virginia at the
outbreak of the French and Indian Wars.
He served with "fery energy that lay hidden
beneath his calm and unruffled exterior"
In 1T74 he was appointed of seven delegates
from Virginia to the Continental Congress.
After the Lexington and Concord battles he was
elected Commanderin-Chief of the United Colonies.
On July he took command. of the forces assembled
against the British garrison at Boston, Massachusetts,
It is not easy to realize the poverty of the
American Colonies the lack of food for the troops the
scarcity of money to pay the soldiers for their families
the treachery stupidity and sefshness and discourage
ment of those early days and the suerngs in the cold
Winters and the bleeding footsteps at Valley Forge.
But all these completed the training of the soldiers
of the Revolution and made them great and in the
best sense made George Washington foremost of
them all.
Suffice it to say here that after the Declaration of
Independence He elected the first President of the
United States January Z, 1889, inaugurated in New
York on April 80, 1888, and at Philadelphia March
79 at the of Sixth and Chestnut Streets and
after two terms of office of four years each, retired
March H. 1897 going to Mount Vernon, his plantation,
where he lived as farmer, and died December ID,
1899, after days Illness
The memory of Washington and his heroic
Iabors to establish and perpetuate the United
States and its Stars and Stripes grows dearer to
the world as the years roll on.

FUNDS FOR ROADS
PURPOSE OF TAXA
TON MEASURES
Kentucky House Of Representatives
Adopts Measure Taxing Gasoline
and Auto Vehicles For the
state Road Fund.

|
Frankfort, KY, March Sin the
plan to raise revenue to build roads
the House Of Representatives Tuesday
passed bills imposing a tax of one cent
gallon on gasoline and go cents q
horsepower on motor vehicles. 1t Is
estimated that these bills will raise
81, 500, 900 annually.
The bill taxing gasoline was passed
81 to 25. Representative Arch Hamil-
ton, of Fayette county, desired to ex-
Tempt from its provisions all classes of
engines operated by gasoline not used
on roads.
Several amendments which Speaker
Bcsworth held were not germane to
the subject were offered, one provid-
ing for a ten-cent tax on bank deposits
and another for tax Of three cents on
ton coal mined in the state. Represen-
tative John T. Murphy, of Covington,
was the author of the latter amend
mont. He insisted that 1t was germane
in that it was intended to raise reve-
nue. for road building.
Representative Murphy also sought
to amend the bill so as to provide
registration fee on each motor vehicle
by placing a tax on vehicles of all
kinds. His amendment called for 80
tax on one-horse-drawn vehicles and
tax of 50 for each additional horse.
Horse-drawn vehicles, he said, were
just as responsible for the bad condi-
ticn Of Kentucky's roads as motor We
hicles, and he though they should be
made to bear their proportionate part
of taxes for road building.
In explaining his vote Representa-
tive Charles r. Scott said that he own
ed automobiles, trucks and horse
drawn vehicles, and, believing In
equal justice for all, he thought the
Murphy amendment should be adopted.
The amendment was rejected and
the bill passed, Sc to "a
Bills prepared by the Budget Com
mission were passed. Although sew
eral of the Democratic members of the
House were diligent in their efforts to
amend the bills, when the final vote
was taken they lined up solidly for the
measures.
Committee amendments increased
the appropriation as follows; Ken
lucky State Historical Society. $4,000
to $4,000; Kentucky Children's Home
Society for White Children. $4,000 to
$50, 900; Kentucky Home Society for
Colored Children, $4,000 to $4,000;
Kentucky School for Education of the
Blind, 5000 to $4,000, and Kentucky
School for the Deaf, 100000 to $95,OOO
