NJ revenua as they should. Vast
wealth in coal lands held by many in
dividuals and corporations are APP
praised for taxation at rediculously
low valuation. But in the matter of
taxing production the levy in so far
as home consumption is concerned
would most likely be simply passed
on to the consumer, as is the case in
most examples of that character, but
when in competition with outside
markets the burden would be shout
dered by the producer and simply
serve as that much handicap placed
upon coal produced in Kentucky,
provided our sister States collect
nothing in the way of a production
tax. OF that though, we are not very
well advised. Some of the mines
within Ohio County have closed
down altogether, due to the fact. so
officials state, that the present cost
of production and marketing is con-
siderably below the market price. To
add a tax on production at this time
could only serve as a further limita-
ton to mine operations. The Louis
willie Gas and Electric Company, we
believe it is, until recently, was OPP
Grating a Mine on the |. c. r. r. in
Ohio County, in the main. or perhaps
altogether for its own use and bene-
fit, that is the concern was using the
entire output of the mine in its bu-
siness in Louisville, such is our in
formation. at least. But several
months ago the mine was shut down
and the concern is purchasing the
coal necessary to the operation of its
business for figures actually below
what il cost to produce and deliver
from its own mine some 112 miles out
of Louisville. The cost of producing
and transporting a carload of coal
must surely come down before the
business can be revived, or else the
price of coal on the markets must be
advanced. If the latter happens, the
price of coal will most assuredly be
out of proportion with markets, of
many other products. especially ev-
erything produced by the agricultural
classes. unless it be tobacco. Under
present conditions il seems that
tax upon coal production in Kentucky
would be detrimental rather than
helpful to the States interests.

The proposal of some of the men,
bers of the Kentucky General AS
sembly to make the County Superin-
tendents of Schools elective by the
people instead of by Board of Edu-
cation composed of individuals has
many supporters in Ohio County, in
fact Western Kentucky appears to IA
vOr such a change. We do not wish
10 see future Superintendent forced
to secure partisan nomination and
then in addition make a campaign,
partisan in nature for final election.
But we do in fact, rather hold to the
opinion that it would be better to
have our superintendent elected by
Popular vote of the people. If that
method is Objectionable it might be
for all, or most any of the other Of
ficers, including U. S. Senators. We
recently placed the election of the
latter within the hands of the cleo
torate. Why not School Superin-
tendents? We would rather prefer
that these officers be elected and
then give the superintendent the
right and power to appoint his or
her Board of six citizens 10 compose
the Educational Board-A Cabinet if
you may please TO call it such. 1t
is an absolute fact that nothing has
occurred that would or could lead
any person TO look with suspicion on
any act of the present or past Board
of Education, or Superintendent, past
or present, of Ohio County. But we
would much prefer trying to manipu-
late and put over something of
questionable nature with a half dozen
average individuals than with the
voters of Ohio County. No, we have
no complaint whatever to make of the
County Superintendent or with the
Board of Education, we rather think
the County very fortunate in having
the splendid officers ii has. What
we fear is, that sooner or later wires
may be handled in such a manner as
may result in the selection of Off
GERS not up to the high standard of
those now serving at the head of the
Common Schools of the County.
