THE ISSUE MOMENTUS

designated as a part of the state pri
mary inter county seat roads by acts
of the legislature at the 1920 ses
sion.
This SO 1-2 miles has been absorb
ing, and will continue to absorb un-
der the present system, 80 per cent
of our income, leaving only 20 per
cent for the other 207 l-2 miles OF
pike. 1t is perfectly apparent that
the 80 per cent for the inter-county
seat roads and the 20 per cent TO;
the remaining 207 1-2 miles are
wholly inadequate. The State Aid
plan plainly stated is this: This
State says if Madison county will
put up $3.50 with her she will build
our roads and when completed will
maintain them. In one sweep rid
ding the county of 80 per cent Of her
road ex1naase.. Next, where does the
State get her part Of this fund!
From the auto license and gas taxoniy,
which produces s3,OOo,OOO annually,
and of the sum Madison county pays
about s35,OOO annually which we can
get back only by accepting her prop
osition for State Aid; otherwise it
goes out of Madison county and
some othey county will get it. 1t
will have to be paid out and whether
we bring it back or not is for the
people to decide After we once ge:
our roads built it will come back
without any further outlay on OUT
part, for the maintenance Of these
roads.
This will leave the county in the
new position of having only 2O7 l.

REPORT OF MADISON COUNTY
GRAND JURY FOR OCTO-
BER TERN, 1922
Madison Circuit Court

To the Honorable W. r. Shackelford,
Judge Madison Circuit Court:
The Grand Jury of Madison county
for the October Term, 1922, would
respectfully report that We have been
in session for 10 days, and have in
vestigated all violations of the law
that have come to our attention, and
have returned indictments where the
proof, in our judgment, warranted
same.
We have inspected the County In
firmary and find same in good cond'
ton. We have inspected our County
Jail and find same in excellent condi-
tion, for which our jailor is to be
commended, and we recommend thai
he be allowed to do certain painting
which seems necessary.
We have Investigated the escape OF
prisoners, and find that there has
been no wilful neglect on the part OF
any prisoner guard, but recommeno
that the County Judge reprimanc
said guards, and punish any further
laxity. Further laxity will make nee
essary the bonding of road guards.
This body has been seriously
handicapped in its investigations by
a deplorable unwillingness on th+
part of our citizens to give the Grand
Jury information within their knowi'
edge. In many instances we have en-
countered false testimony, and We
have, we trust, started hgh'
against this practice by the indict'
ments which we have returned charg'
ing false swearing. Unless thi'
! practice be broken up Grand Jurie'
cannot function and will become ut
terly useless.

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY

Cashier Refuses TO Obey Orders

Owensboro. KY, Oct. 3l.-Chester
Baum. ls years old. of Decatur, ILL.,.

Owensboro, were in Jail tonight

the bank Of Whitesville this after
noon. But for the quick action OF
Cashier Morton J. Holbrook, it is be.
lieved the young bandits would have
gotten away with at least n part Of
10000 in cash that was in the CASH
ier's cage.
"Stick 'em up" was the command
given to Cashier Holbrook when h

entered the bank.
He looked into the barrel Of a re-
volver held by a man with n red
handkerchief tied over his face. Tho

floor and reached for his revolver un-
der the counter ard began firing thru

alarm and in a short time Sheriff
Howard and a posse of citizens wer,
on the trail of the bandits, who wer,
caught after n chase of five miles.

the holdup, but Conley denied he ha'
any connection with it. They were
brought to Owensboro and their bou'
was fixed at $1,000 each, which they

miles of the secondary roads with
the present fund and the use Of the
entire force of men and machinery
of the county for maintenance.
Next, how is this money to be
spent? The state, after the county
accepts any proposition, advertises
for bids and let's the contract at
Frankfort and the work is done by
contract under State supervision and
on demand of the State Department
the Fiscal Court directs check to be
drawn on the treasury for the coun"
tvs part. Neither the Fiscal court
nor the Road Engineer will have any
thing to do with the spending Of this
money and do not want to, as the
Road Engineer has all he can proper
ly attend to.
An erroneous idea has gotten into
the minds of many of our citizens
that the tax Is TO bufft the Richment
and Mckee rodd-that is not so. The
tax is for the purpose of taking care
of all our state roads of which tht
Mckee road is one.
800 assessment pays 20 cents tax
81 900 pays 50; $4,000 pays $50
averaging IL cents per acre for the
lands of this county.
The State Department says it viii
put up $3.50 with the county. They
have been doing it they are doing 1t
and they have the money-your auto
license and mine, and the tax on the
gas you and burn, so why question
that fact? 1t is going anyhow
Shall we bring it back for our road

to the students and held number of
smaller councils with various stu
dents. DR.. Weatherford Is perhaps

in the establishment Of the Southern

its supplement, the Summer Y. M. C..
A. Conference and School at Blue

DIR. Weatherford spoke Saturday

ness" He believes that selfshness
is the prime evil of the present gen.
GRAFTON. II is the only evil among
students, for which neither the fac
ulty or the student body can apply
any direct preventive. Mr.. Weather
ford trampled rough-shod over the
proclaimed laws Of psychologists and
scientists and denied emphatically
that "self-preservation is the first
law Of life" He said unselfshness
is the first law Of life, and proceed
ed to give numerous illustrations to
back up his argument. On Sunday
evening he spoke to the students on
"The Danger Of SIM" He referred
not to the particular individual sin Of
yesterday nor Of last week, but the
gradual and gripping influence that
sin has upon the life Of a student
who is unwilling to put up the con-
sistent fight against it. The students

and England. The Constitution is a
fitting memorial to the two leaders
recently lost by death, Griffith and
Collins. 1t is largely the work of
their hands and brains. In genera,
it conforms to the provisions of the
Treaty. There will be two chambers
in the legislative department, the
Upper House or Senate being COM
posed of older men who serve for
twelve years. Money bills will origi-
nate in the Lower House on recon-
mendation of the crown. A bill OF
rights ensures freedom of speech and

the official speech. By the terms OF
