HOW GOOD ROADS HELP

Good roads mean better country
schools. They mean lower prices 70
the city man for country products.
They mean a vastly improved social
life to the farmer, his family and his
employees.
They mean a general improvement
in farm life both as the tightening
of labor and the enjoyment OF the
better things of life, because they
will DE so much more easily attain
able.
Il is estimated that more than a
billion dollars have been appropriat-
ed for good roads programs. The ma
tional, State and city governments,
as well as township sections, are 60
ing ahead with it. Something IKE
100000. 900 will be available this
coming season.
The cost of labor, material anu the
ability of transportation systems TO
make good will figure in the ultlmate
outcome, but the movement Tor goou

largely upon the mares selected for
breeding and the care selected in rear
ing colts. They will belong to the
breeder-the Government will have
no strings on them. The owner will
be privileged to sell them to wnomso-
ever he pleases at any time. They
will be horses admirably adapted to
work in both peace and war times.
But the Government will depend
upon them for its supply; and the i'm
portance of the horse to the modern
army is to be fully realized by the
comparison of figures already cited
pertaining to the use of the horse in
the last great war with those of his
use during the Civil War.
AS regards thoroughbred horses
racing, every practical horseman
knows that it is, first and foremost,
vitality necessary in order tortast the
quality of individual horses - tho
final acid test that goes to. measure
their value for breeding purposes,
and is thus decisively instrumental in
the work Of preserving and improving
the thoroughbred horse as the race up
On which depends the preservation
and improvement Of all our other kinds
OF horses and mule mares.
Meanwhile, the evolution Of thor
oughbred horse racing has given the
world a great out-of-door sport-one
that the world truly enjoys, Il the
attendance at our metropolitan race
courses may 'be-taken as evidence Of
popularity, and which, wherever prop
eriy conducted, is assuredly healthful
and innOcuous, insofar, at least, as
concerns its effects on the great ma
jority Of normal-minded citizens.
"The State Of Kentucky is immense
ly the richer for her industry of breed
ing thoroughbred horses and it's con-
commitant seasons of racing. Millions
and millions Of dollars are invested 10
property throughout the state as a re-
sult-nor is this taxable wealth con-
fined to the holdings of millionaire en-
husiaSts whose establishments are
located in the Bluegrass District, by
any means.
Many a Kentucky farmer is also a
breeder Of the thoruughbred-and
often the male Of a colt or filfy nets
him more than the products of a sea-
sons work on the farm.
Undoubtedly the sport of racing
thoroughbred horses r. a tremendous
business asset to the state Facts such
as. I daresay, the Kentucky Jockey
Club readily can adduce in this con-
nection very well might astound Ken
tuckians who have never considered
the subject in it's substantial and ma
terial aspects"

DEMOCRATIC PARTY HARD TO
KILL.

Back in 1906, when the Republic
cans were almost as strongly in
trenched in power as they are to-day
and when many people were saying
that the Democratic donkey was
dead for certain, John Wesley Gaines
a Tennessee member of Congress,
composed a parody on an old poem
to at the occasion and read it in the
House. 1t created good deal OF fun
at the time. AS the situation Is
closely paralleled at the present
time, this poem is worth reprinting.
Here It is:
WHEN THE DEMOCRACY WILL
When the lions eat grass like an OK,
And the fishworm swallows the
whale;
When the terrapins knit wooden
socks,
And the hare is outrun by the
snail;
When serpents walk upright like men
And doodle-bugs travel like frogs;
When the grasshopper feeds on the
hen,
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas-cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost upon trees;
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people
sneeze;
When the fish creep over dry land
And mules on velocipedes ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride
When Dutchmen no longer drlnR
beer,
And girls get to preaching on
time;
When the billy-goat butts from the
rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming- brays like
an ass,
And limburger Smells like cologne;
When plowshares are made out o.
glass,
And hearts of Tennesseeans arr
stone;
When sense grows in Republican
heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party VIII p'

There seems to be a peculiar mis-
understanding in regard to the tax
laws in Kentucky and it is serious
mistake to attribute the recent in
creases in assessments to the CLASH
fed Tax Law voted for by the peo-
pie in 1913 and 1915 and adopted by
the Legislature in 1917 and now in
operation.
Assessments are made under Sec
ton 172 of the Constitution of 1891
which provides that "all property
shall be uniformly assessed at the
| fair cash value" and the recent in
creases merely show that the tax
ing authorities seem to be making
an attemut to enforce this unamend-
ed fundamental law.
The complete failure of the old
law caused the people by their votes
/ and the Legislature by it's acts to
substitute the more modern Classifi-
cation law under the belief that other
f, property could be induced to contrib
ute in taxes and relieve the burden
which had been carried almost en-
| tirely by real estate and this has
come to pass.
Under the old law real estate paid
| about four-flfths of the taxes but now
pays but little over one-half. OF the
| two millions increase in State reve-
nue. real estate was called upon for
| only about ten per cent. and other
classified property contributed about
ninety per cent. OF the increase in
assessed values for the current year,
of about eighty millions, land i'm
provements will have only sixteen
thousand dollars additional taxes to
pay, while other property will have
to pay three hundred and eight
thousand dollars. There is c0nclu-
sively no shifting of the burden
from personal property to real es-
tate, as has been charged, according
to these figures published by the
State Tax Commission.
In the realized expectation that
personal property would contribute
more literally under classification
the State tax rate was reduced from
| IS to 40 cents and had this reduction
not been made, real estate would be
paying a million and half dollars
more than the current tax bills, on
| this class of property, now call for.
These are some of the benefits OF
classification and a revisiOn'tO the old
| gstem, of so-called uniform taxa
alton, would only result in a renewal
of the practices of evasion by the
| owners of movable property and real
estate would have to make up the
past.
The government must be sustained
and principally by taxes on property.
The more property that pays the less
taxes there will be on all and IL
would be suicidal to drive away the
vast amount of personal property now
contributing.
1t is stated that there is billion
and half dollars, in value, OF un-
taxed wealth in Kentucky and wnen
all of the property in the State is
subjected to fair taxation the rates
|should be lower and taxes a matter
of little concern.
