TOO MUCH RED TAPE

Coy. Blaine's veto of the MatheS0n
prohibition enforcement bill seems
well founded He acknowledges that
i'll some respects it would be an i'm
proyement over the Mulberger act, now
in force. but declares that its defects
far outweigh any improvement. The
trouble with too many of our laws to-
day is that they require too much red
tape in carrying out their provisions
and become Odious because of unwar
ranted and unnecessary invasion of
the liberty Of the people The fact
seems often lost sight of that laws
are meant to protect and serve, rather
than harass the public.
The thousands of liberal minded peo-
pie who recognize the curse that the
legalized liquor traffic had become to
the country and who made prohibition
possible. and still are not bigoted fan
atics, will not approve of an espionage
law that provides for spying on the
home and family life Such a law
will be repulsive and will endanger
the cause of prohibition rather than
help it,
The sureSt way to kill prohibition
is to make it so unreasonable and OBJ
nOXiouS as to build up sentiment
against it.
The saloons can credit their death to
the public sentiment they built up
against themselves.
AS Governor Blaine says:
''The evil effect of the present COM
mercialized traffic in poisonous liquors
may not be overstated. 1t must be
sternly repreSsed. The temptation to
make "moonshine" for illicit sale is
great, owing to the ease with which
ii can be made, and the great profit
to be derived from the sale. The pub
lie officials-judges, district and city
attorneys. sheriffs, and other police
officers-are entitled to the aid of the
state in suppressing this sinister evil
They need a plain. unequivocal law,
with effective penalties to properly en-
force it, y s. A good enforcement act
will have the sympathetic assistance
of the people"
Among other points cited against the
Matheson bill by Gov. Blaine are the

BLAINE VETOES MATHESON BILL

Madison. Wis. May 31-Because the
Matheson dry bill is weak" indefinite
and uncertain: because it conflicts
with the VOlstead act and vitiates the
constitution and law of the United
States. Gov. John J. Blaine Monday
night vetoed the bill and asked the
legislature to pass a new measure that
will be reasonable and certain in its
terms
Incidentally Gov Blaine points out
that 'pernicious' lobby at the Capt.
toll is to he blamed for the homogeneous
Matheson amendment and says there
is plenty of time to enact a good. strong
enforcement measure if the legislature
can free itself from the sinister infiu-
ences of the pernicious lobby"

DO YOU GET THIS: MOTHER
LOVE HEROISM ISN'T HEROISM

This is the story of, mother who
has been refused the hero prize by the
Carnegie Hero commission.
Mrs. Norman Girling, OF White
Plains. n. Y. arose one morning with
the expectancy of becoming mother OF
fifth child by night. During the
morning her youngest, lad OF two
and half was playing in the back
yard. There was sudden cry ana
all was still, but that mother heard the
cry. She rushed out to an open well
and Is feet below could see her tiny
boy splashing about in the water
which she knew was several feet deep.
Mrs. Girling did not hesitate. She
climbed down into that well. gripping
the slippery stone sides with feet and
hands and then she climbed out by the
same wet, dangerous path. but some
how with her baby boy in her arms.
Hurrah!
That night the other baby was born.
Enthusiastic people in all parts Of
the country wrote her letters and sent
her kilograms and flowers and other
gifts. Somebody called the attention
of the Carnegie Hero commission to
the case. but that body has calmly
ukased that she is not entitled to the
medal of herOism.
All right. And all we have to say is
that Mrs. Girling has better than the
Carnegie commission can possibly
award-she has her two babies.
And anyway, if all the hero mothers
in this country were given medals, the
Carnegie fellows could never keeP up.
There would be millions every year and
the commission would soon 60 bust.

specific tax on coal ger ton as it
is produced from the mines. We
have not sufficient detailed in
formation to come to an intelli-
gent conclusion as which of these
plans would be better, but we
are sure of one thing beyond any
question, that the rich counties
of Eastern Kentucky, where coal
is produced. should bear their
just poportion of State taxation
which they are now escaping.
However. we do not agree with
the Post that it should be
done because the State needs
more money, but rather because
the burdens of taxation should
be equalized.
We do not think the State
needs more money. The revenue
of the State has been enormously
increased in the last two years
by the very heavy increase in the
assessment of farming lands. IN
reasonable burdens have been
put upon the farmers at the very
time when the condition of agri.
culture is at such a low ebb that

the soil has made no millionaires.
They have dollars in the coal
areas of Kentucky where we
have cents in-the farming Sec
ton, Most of these rich coal
producing counties are in the
pauper list, that is, they receive
more money from the State of
Kentucky than they pay into the
the State Treasury, while the
IS revenue paying counties. those
which pay in more than they get
out, are agricultural counties,
with the exception of a few large
cities.
In other words at this present
time the counties which are not
making any money out of the
cultivation of the soil are
helping to pay to support the
counties which are getting enor-
mously rich out of coal produc-
ton.
We are not prepared to say
whether there should be an in.

Coal taxation

The Louisville Post recently
contained quite an exhaustive
editorial on the question of coal
taxation. We fully agree with
our Louisville neighbor that the
richest part of the State is East
ern Kentucky, where the won
derful coal fields are located, and
thst this section pays the small
est amount of taxes to support
the State government.
We can go even further than
the Post does in its editorial and
point out the fact that what
comes out of the earth in the
way of coal and oil are the only
profitable productions of the
land, as the cultivation OF the
soil makes hardly living for the
average farmer. Coal is much
higher than before the war while
farm products are below the cost
of production. The coal fields of
Eastern Kentucky have made

find that she does not differ in looks
