Honor to the Undeserving

Everyone knows that Wilbur

the principles, and perfected the
first flying machine in the world,
but they are not to receive prop

boys had only limited common
school education. Scientists

being ignored because they were

After Income Taxes

Deputy collectors will begin
touring the State Feb. 7 to make
income tax collections. The far
mers are free from this obliga-
tion this year. They should be
paid a loss tax. The railroads
were. The farmer is first impor-
tance. The failure of Congress
last Spring to reenact the price
regulation law has resulted in
bankruptcy for the farmer. But
that is just what they wanted.
A bill could now pass Congress in
twenty.four hours that would
save the farmer and Congress
would pass it if it wanted to,
and Congress would want to il il
were for the benefit of the rail-
roads or big manufacturers.

In this issue of the Times APP
pears the formal announcement
of Clint Rose, for Assessor of
Powell county subject to the ac-
tion of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Rose has served in the po-
sition of assessor this fall and did
his work in first.class condition,
without criticism from the state
authorities at Frankfort who are
very particular about how the
Assessors work is done. None

peachable character. If elected,
Mr.. Rose will fill the office with

Bad Advice to Farmers

That the tobacco market has
been glutted and prices cut down
to less than starvation prices, au.
thorities advise farmers to raise
more live stock. This is bad ad-
vice to farmers. If it is necessa.
ry to cut out tobacco crops to
maintain prices it is equally nee
essary TO curtail the production
of live stock and cereal crops to
maintain their prices.
What the farmer needs to DO
is to produce only enough to
barely supply the demand, and
spend his extra time improving
his premises and land. And if
at any aIme the market condi-
tions does not pay him for his
produce, withdraw any of it from
the market, conditions then will
quickly change. We need a law
regulating the production and
marketing farm products. The
farmer, as class, has always
been too stupid to perfect an or.
ganization that will stand up.

Road Building Backset

The most serious setback given
road building IN Powell county
was handed us last week when
Judge A. NJ. J. Cochron passed
upon the county's road case with
Williams Il Pitzer giving them
judgment for $4,000 damages
against us.
Judgment was given because
the county failed to have right
of. way for the contractors TO pro.
ceed with their work. Right.of.
way had all previously been sign
ed up, but something from diff
ferent sources seemed to burst
forth all at one time.
ii. H. Yont, the inspector on
the job, was released by the state I;
the state refused TO accept the
rotten concrete work, and Will
Jams Il Pitzer wanted to quit
when Yonts' successor came on
the job; II. l.. Borders and a
cOlored man decided they would
not give the right. Of. way because
very slight changes were made.
Williams & PitZer sued the coun-
ty; H. l.. Borders enjoined the
county and colored man also en-.
joined the county from proceed.
ing further with the work. The
county lost all the way round,
and got the shoddlest piece of
road work ever seen put up in
the county.

Delinquents Get Busy

The Fiscal Court has wisely
decided to sell at public auction
the delinquent tax lists for the
years 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916
and 1917. Some good collector
wlll get hold of this list and
make money out of the collec.
tion, most likely. 1t has been
done IN past years. At anv rate
any thing the county may get
out of that list is that much for
nothing, it seems, since the Sher.
ifs have exhausted their efforts
in the endeavOr.

We Can't Print Them All

This is the season of the year
when the Times get so many
good letters from former Powell
county people who have moved
to other states. We regret that
space forbids these good letters
from being printed. They are
all interesting and worthy of
space in the paper, but we just
have not the space to spare.

at the church dispersed when it was
annopnced the service had been dis
pensed with.

the sanctuary of the church last
night. was taken to the home of
another priest, after he had been
rt scued by the police. who dispersed
the crowd.

settled the dispute.
Protesting members of the church
said they had long list of sriev-
ances against the priest, objection
centering on an alleged dictatorial
manner assumed in handling affairs
of the congregation.
