demand, or are they going to let
the manufacturers have all of it.
They cannot worst themselves
by signing the contracts for co..
operativr marketing. 1t is their.
one cnance to escape from the
present commercial slavery.
With the Sapiro plan adopted
by seventy-fve per cent of the
growers there is the very bright
est outlook for the tobacco indus
try in Kentucky. If this per
cent does not sign them the in
dustry is doomed.
Cooperative marketing has
succeeded in California in im-
perishable products, why sh ould
it not succeed in Kentucky with
a product that improves with
age?
What is done must be accom-
plished in the next two months
and growers stand in the light
of their own interests in refusing
to sign the contracts.

The illicit trafficing and max
ing moonshine whisky is evil
IDENTIFY growing worse in Ken
lucky, and especially in the
Green River section of the State.
We read in the newspapers that
there are four hundred stills
now in operation in Larue, Hart,
Taylor, Green and Marion coun.
ties. In our judgment the num-
Der is over estimated, but evil
IDENTIFY there are many. Whisky
is not only made and sold in the
above named counties, but
Adair, Russell, Clinton, Cumber.
land, Metcalfe and Casey are in
fected with a large number of
moonshines. Occasionally ar
rests are made, but there is no
diminution in the traffic. Gov
ernment officials have not been
very active in these last counties
named, and even if they were
they could do but little towards
suspressing the sale of the whis-
ky. If the enforcement officers
expect to make a clean State out
of Kentucky, a more drastic law
than the Volstead act will have
to be passed. The Government
can readily see that the attempt
is stop the liquor business is a
farce with the law now at hand.

Swift Produce Review.

Butter production is showing a
slight decrease. A lighter &C.
emulation in storage and con-
stantly increasing demand for
current use have resulted in ad-
vanced prices in producing CEN
ters.
Liberal receipts of poultry ar
rived during the week and this is
reflected in lower prices on East
ern markets.
There has been a fair clearance
of recent accumulations of fresh
eggs. There is a better inquiry
for good stock and prices are
quoted a little higher, although
the quality is not generally satis-
factory. Greater care of the
eggs on the farm and more fire.
quent marketing will probably
result in producers realizing bet
ter values.

nose DeeC aDle TO pay taxes anu
follow the republican plan of
putting the taxes on those least
able to pay them, on the princi.
pie. God help the rich; the poor
can take care of themselves. "
The republican plan included the
repeal of so-called sur.taxes on
swollen incomes, estimated at
$50, ,OOO,OOO and excess profits
taxes of 450,OOO,OOO.
Reduction in taxes will mean
little to the people until there is
a reduction in the cost of govern
ment. Already we are to have
the old special counsel graft. "
of which former republican ad-
ministrations were so fond. The
Hon. Augustus E. Wilson. for
merly governor of Kentucky, has
been appointed a special counsel
under the attorney general to
have charge of any cases that
may develop in his immediate
vicinity, though there is a dis
trict attorneys office at Louis

can, of course, and once beat

nomination for Senator. He

ed from running.
If the republicans have abol-
ished any Offices we haven't
heard Of it. True, they have let
out a number OF prohibition
agents and inspectors, but they
are going to put on seven times
as many as they let out, as soon
as the disputes about patronage
between the republican machine
leaders can be adjusted. While
they're waiting moonshine runs
riot, truckmen keep up their
merry battles and real prohibi-
tion officers are shot down by
these whisky assassins, but time
is given to agree on the jobs.
It's not a very desirable situa-
tion that the taxpayers are fac.
ing under the new economy adj
ministration. Not the slightest
disposition to tighten the burden
of the people has yet been in
evidence in Washington any
more than at Frankfort.
