BUCHANAN

Buchanan, Ky, March 12.-Our peo-.
pie have passed through the worst ep-
idemic ever known. The death rate
has been very heavy am inclined to-
believe we have the pestilence Of old.
Three things We're prominent as means
Of punishment for national sins Of the
people. There were famine, sword and
pestilence. We have had the sword
and pestilence, next we may have the
famine. At this time / think there
is great danger of famine from neglect.
Farmers are being discouraged all over
the country, one of the leading trou-
bles being labor. Too many Of our
best neighbors are going to the towns
and cities where they get big wages
for work. The farm is being sadly
neglected. We are not raising enough
70 supply the demand. believe every
farmer should raise all he can, every
effort should be made to produce q
surplus. It's not a question of just
producing enough for ones self IL
that idea is carried out what will be-
come of the other fellow that don't
produce. We must have something for
all. if not we.will have famine

REGULATION OF GAS
LINES, TELEPHONES,
ETC, PROVIDED FOR

The following item is of very great
local interest, as delegations from Lou
lisa have visited Frankfort In behalf of
the measure. r. G. Mcclure drafted the
bill and aided very materially in its
passage:
Frankfort, KY, March 15.-The State
Railroad Commission is given power to
correct alleged discrimination against
Ashland, Catlettsburg, Louisa and 9TH
YER Kentucky communities, in the mat
ter of natural gas rates, under the Har-
ris- Lazarus bill which passed the Sem
ate to- day by vote of "a to4.
The bill extends the jurisdiction OF
and telegraph lines, steamboat and ma
tural gas companies The commission
IS given jurisdiction over joint rates,
as well az single rates.
The measure defines "extortion' and
unjust discrimination" provides for
drastic penalties, and will enable the
commission, after hearings, to estab-
lish Just rates.
The bill does not effect communi-
sies where rates are regulated by local
contracts or regulations.
: Senator Brig II. Harris, OF Ashland,
was the chief advocate of the meas
ure. He has been urging its passage
since the opening Of the session,
In his speech today Senator Harris
declared that Ashland, Cailettsburg,
Louisa and other commuities of that
section have been compelled to pay
35 cents per 1000 feet for identically
the same gas that sister cities in West
Virginia have been getting at % cents.
The head OF the gas company con-
cerned, senator Harris said. when ask
ed why larger charge Is demanded
OF Kentucky towns. made the answer: |
Because we can get it."
Proponents of the bill also contend
that very serious determinations |
against various communities in the !
matter OF telephone and telegraph fac
ilities are in need of correction.
