SURVEY OF COAL
LANDS IS URGED
BY GOVERNOR
Governor Morrow In Bl.Annual Mes.
sage to General Assembly Advises .
That This Is Not the Time
To Increase Taxes.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 4. - Cautioning
the General Assembly that the pres
ent was not the time for increasing
the burdens of the taxpayer and that
economy in appropriations should be
the watchword SO as to keep them
within the revenue of the state, Gov
ernor Edwin p. Morrow Tuesday sent
his biennial message to the General
Assembly Of the state of Kentucky,
which opened its biennial sixty day
session here.
The governor covered the subjects
Of taxation, coal lands, public educa-
tion, public health, prohibition, carry
ing of concealed weapons, failure of
peace officers to do their duty, CO.
operative marketing and the limitation
OF salaries of public officers. He did
not, however, touch on the question Of
the state university and the normal
schools, highways and penal charit-
able institutions, reserving them for
another message to be addressed to
the legislature at a later date.
The governor recommended that a
careful survey OF the values Of coal
lands be authorized so that the State
Tax commission may have proper fig
ures on which to tax such lands at
their true value. This recommenda-
ton carried with 1t the recommenda-
ton that a sufficient sum Of money be
appropriates to have a thorough sur
vey OF the coal sections of the state
He recommended a series of laws
relating to education which have been
approved by the Kentucky Education
Survey Commission and which include
the reorganization Of the State Board
Of Education; a scientific certification
Of teachers and a scientific schedule;
more satisfactory method Of select
ing textbooks; revision Of the attend
ance law; state support for and exten-
sion OF the State Department OF Edu-
cation with an adequate professional
stan and a revision of the graded
school law.
He also recommended that the re-
Quirements for entering the practice
OF medicine In the state be lowered so
as to make the entering Of the profess
sion more attractive to young men and
women
Failure OF enforcement Of the pro-
hibition law in the state brought from
the governor a recommendation that
county judges and judges Of municipal
courts be given the final jurisdiction
to try offenders Of the law and that
they be given the right to impose a
81, 900 peace bond conditional on OBJ
servance of this law.

Chautanqua a Big Success.

Hurley's first chautauqna, which
came to a close Sunday. was success
from every point except financially.
There was heavy deficit which had
to be made good by the fifteen citizens
who signed the contract The attend
ance was not as good as it should
have been. The chautauqna deserved
better support from the people OF the
financial failure may be attributed TO
he failure TO make a thorough canvass
and sell season tickets in advance
Had concerted effort been directed in
selling of season tickets it is believed
that the guarantee could have been
raised.
However, the chautauqua proved a
fine thing and was appreciated by
many people. Words of praise were
heard frOm many persons who see IL
a chautauqua the opportunity for
having brought to them the better
classes of entertainments. And even
though the affair this year was not a
financial success We Will have a chau-
tauqua next year, twenty-five citizens
having signed a contract foy next
