his father the qualities necessary for
the orator, magnificent voice, a log
ical mind, a retentive memory, and a
fine imagination, personal magnetism
and optimism. These qualities were
trained and perfected by the greatest
specialists in American schools Of
oratory in his day, Shoemaker of Phil
a delphia, and Mark Bailey, Of Yale
College. For forty years, Col. Holp has
been constantly on the lecture plat
form. He has lectured in every Ameri-

talked seven times day, seven days
in week, for ten months; to an audi
ence of one-thousand people, breaking
the worlds long distance record for
public speech.
When we went to war with Ger
many, he was lecturing in New York
City. He quit at once, rendered his
service to the Council OF Defense and
made more patriotic talks during the
war than any other American. On the
Victory Liberty Loan Drive, he was
given war train of things captured
by American soldiers in Germany, ac-
companied by twenty returned wound
ed soldiers, to advance the patriotism
of the people of Indiana. Five cities a
day for thirty days were visited and at
each city, Col. Holp talked from flat
car surrounded by weapons of war to
crowds running from 1000 to 5000 peo-
pie. Since the war, he has lectured

come Taxes This Year Total.
Ing $7,595,3s4.

Washington, July 25. Kentucky
contributed $7,595,3S4 to the Federal
Government in personal income taxes
for the calendar year 1919 or six
tenths per cent of the total revenue
from that source which amounted to
$1,269, $50 ,1o4, it is shown by figures
made public by David H. Blair, COM
missioner Of Internal Revenue.
The percentage of Kentucky's total
population filing personal income tax
returns for the calendar year 1919 was
2.46 or lower than that of all but Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi,
North and South Carolina and Ten
nesee.
Personal income tax returns were
filed by 59,332 Kentuckians which was
1.12 per cent. Of the total number Of
such returns filed. The aggregate in
come reported in these returns
amounted to $215,s77,422, Of 100 per
cent Of the total aggregate income re-
ported by the entire country.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
average net income per return filed in
Kentucky was $3,64O.15, or larger than
the same figure for the other states,
the percapita net income in the Blue
grass State was only $S9.47, or lower
than that Of all except eight other
states. These figures are taken to in
dictate that the average net income per
capita in Kentucky is lower than that
of at least thirty-eight of the forty
eight states.
The average MT income per return
for 1919 was $3,724.O5, the average
amount of tax $23S.Os, and the average
tax rate 6.Ss per cent.
There were filed sixty-five returns
Of net income of $1,OO0,0OO and more
