WRITE ERNST TO
VOTE FOR robson
FEDERAL aid BILL
Ashland. Ky, July IA. 10:

Abllhnut N.Y. July ~ ic~''
To The Citizens OF Lewis, Greenup,
Boyd Carter. Rowan, Elliott Law.
renee, Johnson. Martin, Magoffin Floyd
and pike counties:
| wish to call TO your attention the
fact that there are two Federal High
way bills up before Congress related
10 Federal Aid ON certain designated
highways In each State. One OF these
bills is known as the Townsend bill.
which provides for a Federal Highway
Commission and which gives this Fed
eral Highway Commission the power
20 designate the Federal Highways In
each state instead OF the State High
wav Commission. The other bill was
first known as the Dowell-Phipps Dill
which is known now as the Robinson
hill which passed the House four 10
one which is practically the same as
the Federal Aid which we are now
receiving and which the State High
.saY nenf. of Kentucky Is very anx-
sious 10 see pass the Senate. II Is my
understanding that all the Kentucky
ConRreaemep voted In fayor oil the
Robson bill and that Senator Stanley
a IN favor OF same but Senator Ernst
Il against the Robson bill and In favor
81 q Townsend bill. II the Town
eendA N passes Congress we are very
reliable informed that all OF the Fed
era, AID money win first be spent on
two roads. One from New York 70
San. Francisco going through the north
ern states and missing Kentucky ana
the other road would be road from
Chicago TO Miami Florida, which u
known as the Dixie Highway, ana
mould CROSS Kentucky.
. NJ this Is done Il means that Ken
lucky win lose Federal Aid on the
Mayo Trail from Ashland TO Pikeville
and ON 70 Pineville. Ky. Also on the
paintsvllle- Mount Sterling road from
Mount Sterling through FreTiefiisi &
west Liberty, Salyersyille and Paints
yiilc. Also all work on the Midland
Trail from catiettsburg through 70
Lexington would be discontinued at
The completion OF the present con-
Tracts. This Is a matter which all citi-
zena of Kentucky should be very grave
n interested in and we request the
citizens and the civic bodies such as
c,harnbers OF CommerceS's, CLUBS,
Boards OF Trade. County Com Aittees,
both Democrats and Republicans to
write a personal letter to Senator
Ernst 10 support the Robson bill In
stead OF the Townsend bill.
one other thing Is the State OF Ken
lucky has used all Of It's present Fed
eral Ala money and no new work can
be contracted for outside OF few
contracts on the Mayo Trail until this
bill passes Congress and you are urg-
cd 10 request both Senators Ernst ana
Stanley and your Congressman TO use
their influence in getting this ball
passed by Congress as quickly as pos
sible. 80 that our road work In Kentuc-
~. can nrogress and not to have to be
discontinued on account OF the fhiiure
OF the passage OF this bill.
Yours very truly.

THE DOLLAR MINIMUM Law.

IAullOI 4NcWo-
I inquired last week about a bank
bonus bill want to ask whether a
dollar minimum law was passed.
A Reader
Yes. a law was passed allowing
banks to charge 81 discount on a note.
They have always done so anyway,
and this legalized the practice so as
to conform to requirements Of the re-
ports made to Comptroller at Wash
ington. The law is a protection to
small borrowers. 1T prevents loan
sharks from charging much more than
that. The loan sharks Of Louisville,
Lexington and other large cities went
to Frankfort and fought the dollar
law. Banks can not handle a loan for
less, because the clerical work, post
age, stationery, ETC., is the same on a
small note as large one. II banks
did not take small notes the loan
sharks would charge great deal
more than one dollar.

/ believe:
/. In good roads and that the mon
ey spent for road and bridge mainten-
ance be proportionate to the taxes
paid in each voting precinct through
out the county.
2. That the burden of taxation is
very heavy with very little prospect of
reduction, therefore, all matters af-
fecting the financial interest Of the
county should be carefully Investigate
ed and for each dollar spent the de-
manded 100 per cent service.~
8. That the fiscal affairs of the
county be so kept that at any time our
citizens may know the condition Of
the county, what has been spent, for
what purpose and the amount remain
ing for all purposes. That our citi-
CONS be informed quarterly as to our
financial conditions.
4. That the county affairs be adj
ministered for the good of the whole
county and not for the benefit of any
section or faction.
5. That the laws be impartially en-
forced and the rights Of all safeguard
ed.
am earnestly asking for chance
