A Close. .Fisted Gentelmau

Last Friday afternoon, a certain
Gentleman decided to go south. He
realized the climate there was much
more congenial than that Of our
prosperous metropolis. He had gone
as far as Buckingham, another
flourishing town, when he was met
by very distinguished company in
deed.
Immediately, the sun shone more
brightly, the air was purer, and the
whole world, in general, looked bet
ter to this enterprising young man.
But Alas! Alack his Joy was short
lived. Although. he no longer wish
ed to go south, the relentless Raven
once more pursued him. He and his
distinguished company were forced
to remain in Buckingham that night
Early Saturday morning, the ira
yelers arrived In Raymer and pre-
pared to spend pleasant visit at fhe
young Gentelman's boarding place.
We are not sure whether the visit
afforded them the anticipated pleas
ure.
Some say two OF the guests were
fair to lcok upon, while the third
was inclined to execute q dignified
and promptous walk. However, we
cannot vouch for that. We can only
aay that on Sunday morning the
young Gentleman was in church with
out his guests. The population OF
Il. II. S. greatly deplores the fact
that they were unable to gaze with
iapture upon the wonderOus beauty
and the impressive dignity OF the
sunny south.
Why couldn't that certain young
Gentleman have brought his guests
10 church SO that the plebeians Of
X. H. S. might have had q glimpse Of
court life?
But the Irish we're ever thus.
This tale only goes to show that
the Scotch are not the only we'll

on the total valuation OF the prep

noun OF this fund Is determined by
mtAp!ying the number OF teachers
by the number OK m5n,ns OF school
and this ampant by Is. This fund

district gels hack in every instance
depends upon the numner OF teach
ers employed and the number OF
months o. sci. sol. Ii can readily be
seen that soas districts will con-
tribute mure s..aa they get back.
There has been much comment
in certain quarters during the last
year In regard to the injustice Of
this law because some districts were
paying more into the fund than they
received. The argumen offered and
quite generally accepted is that no
district should pay into the fund
mere than 1t gets back, but evil
IDENTIFY this is not the intent OF the
law, nor was it that Of the legisla-
tors that passed the bill. It was
designed to particularly equalize
school taxation and to help certain
weak districts. It is a long estab-
lished American principle that the
rich man contributes largely toward
the education of the poor mans chill
dren. With equal justice why not
apply the same principle to commu-
mites or districts?
There Is nc more reason for the
argument that all the money that
is raised In the General fund should
be spent in the district in which It
was raised than that all Of the coun-
ty money in whatever fund raised
should be distributed to the several
school be distributed to the several
school districts in amounts equal to
those contributed. The arguments
against the law are primarily selfish
ones and when resolved to the last
nalysis mean simply that no dis
trict, community or individual
fhould contribute to any fund more
than is required to meet the imme-
date needs of the district, commu-
nifty or individual in question. This
would mean that II man had no
children, he should pay no school
TAX, II man did not live In the
district and therefore would derive
no benefit from taxes levied. that
he should be excused from paying
taxes in that district. In other
words the enemies Of the law would
have us believe that because in many
instances there is no immediate and
direct return to those contributing,
;he law should be abolished.

this fund more than they receive. to-

EROSION IS BIG CAUSE OF
PLANT FOOD LOSSES

Erosion is the greatest single
cause of fertility losses in Ken
lucky soils, according to a new cir
cular entitled, "Soil Erosion, d

persons and farmers. How to pre-
vent soil erosion, therefore. is a

practically the whole area of
Kentucky is more or less rolling"
the publication continues. when
ever there is enough slope to land
for surface runoff of the rainfall,
washing will occur unless the soil
is protected by some form of vegeta-
ton. Much erosion takes place in
the form of uniform sheet washing
and often is unobstructed for a long
time. Observation will show that
on nearly all lands that are cult
waited regularly without proper pro-
lection by cover crops, even very
gentle slopes are thinner" and red
der or lighter in color than the adj
jacent level lands. On the whole.
this form of washing does far great
er damage than the Outlying of
lands"
Sheet erosion and outlying are
the two general types of erosion,
the former being the more or less
uniform washing of the soil without
the distinct formation of gullies,
while outlying in a large measure is
prevented by the control of sheet
erosion.
The most effective means of pre-
venting sheet erosion is to keep the
ground well covered with some kind
of growth, while outlying is best
stopped by means of blowing in,
stalking in, checking over-falls, wo-
ven wire distractions, combining
thing and stalking, earth dams or
planting the gullies with sweet clo-
yer or grass. Detailed descriptions
of how to stop sheet erosion as well
tanned free by asking the Expert
showing how the work is done are
contained in the new circular.
1t also contains detailed informa-
tion concerning the construction of
terraces, together with other infor-

farmers who have an erosion prob

reau of Public Roads, Department
of Agriculture, not seeking to die
tate what type of pavement shall be
constructed in any given commune
ty, specifies that the type of surface
must be adequate for the traffic an
ticipated.
However, the government does
insist on protecting it's investment
by providing that the various
States, out of their own pocket,
must keep all federal aid roads in
good condition of repair. If this is
not done, the government will itself
maintain any road not properly
maintained and will deduct the cost
from the States federal aid allot-
ment.
Highway engineers paint out that
the community which devotes its
quota of federal aid to constructing
the less durable pavement types
will, within a few years, be greatly
burdened by heavy annual repair
and maintenance costs. This main
tenance henceforth can not be neg
lected as it too often has been in the
past.
The community which builds
pavements that, while costing a lit
tie more at first, will last so much
longer and not call for constant
and costly repairing, will escape
the penalties of heavy maintenance
charges and early reconstruction
costs.
The Bureau of Public Roads, us
ing its observations of the behavior
of pavements under heavy motor
truck traffic as a basis, has careful
ly listed pavement types in order of
their durability. Starting with the
most durable the list includes:
Vitrified brick, sheet asphalt, ce-
ment concrete, bituminous concrete,
bituminous macadam, surface treat
ed macadam, waterbound macadam,
graval macadam, gravel and sand
clay.

DEMOCRATIC FEUDS IN KEN
lucky COUNTIES
tOwensbOrO Messenger)


In several large Democratic coun-
ties in Kentucky party feuds have
grown up largely as result OF
domination of a faction within the
party. Party nominees have been
chosen from a faction rather than
from the body of the party as a
whole. For years this plan sue
ceeded because of the strength of
the faction and the crack of the
party whip. Each local election,
however, has left the party organi-
cation weaker, and in some instan-
ces has shown a complete party re-
versal.
A notable example of factional
domination has long been seen in
county of Logan, in the Third Con-
gressional District. The powerful
organization known as the Rhea fac
ton has long dominated the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is said that a man
had to swear allegiance to the
Rheas if he aspired to hold Office in
Logan county. The bitterness en-
gendered by the factional feud grew
to such proportions that man and
his wife, who published a paper in
Russellville, were arrested for libel
of Circuit Judge Rhea, and the
Judge in turn was arrested charged
with sending an obscene letter
through the mails to one Of the ed
itors.
Thus Logan county, which has al
ways been a Democratic stronghold.
had it's majority materially reduced,
and was no longer to be counted on
to roll up a good party vote.
Recent developments indicate that
the old feud is being wiped out, and
that the Logan Democrats are get
ting together again. The RUSSELL
vile Messenger, long the leader in
the anti Rhea faction, publishes a
story tending to show that with the
advent of a new Circuit Judge and
wiping out of the old scores, a new
era is dawning in the county. Com
ment on the administration of Judge
Mallory, the Messenger says:
GA new atmosphere has been Gre
ated and respect for the court is be-
ing restored. Without it the court
is impotent The Circuit Judge is
the handspring to all law enforce
ment, and the administration of
public justice without fear, favor or
affection. will go many miles toward
our relief"

More than fifty persons were ques

Those questioned were released.
Every clew which has been follow

tectives have been kept busy with in
formation which has been volunteered
by amateurs with suggestions as to
the solution of the mystery.
Mrs Renaker said today that no eff
fort will be spared to find the mur-
derer. No light was thrown on the
crime by papers in Renaker's safe,

chief of the Bureau of Public Roads,
indorsed the gasoline tax as an aid to

day and pointed out that Kentucky
was one of the pioneer States in adop-
tion of this method Of obtaining rev.
enue for roads.
"A tax of cent a gallon on gaso-
line would raise s40,000,000 annually
for road building and maintenance"
said Mr.. Mcdonald. II favor a read
justment of sources of revenue so that
a larger proportion would be paid by
the road user and lesser percentage
from State or local taxes.
This method of raising funds" lie
continued, "is growing rapidly in fa-
vor and has been adopted in Arizona,
Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Ken
lucky. Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland,
Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico,

NO SETTLEMENT
OF RAILROAD
STRIKE AS YET
Presidents Plan Rejected
by Operators of Rail
road Lines.

A good many newspapers announc-
ed for several days In advance that
the railroad strike would be settled on
Tuesday Of this week on plan pro-
posed by President Harding. But when
the conference was held the railroad
heads said they could not restore the
strikers TO their places With full rights
Of seniority because they had promis-
ed loyal employees and new employees
to give them superior standing for
coming 70 the rescue in the crisis. af-
ter having first notified all strikers
that they must return to work by a
certain date or lose all seniority
rights. They say they can not violate
this promise. The strikers who desired
TO save their seniority rights were Civ
en- the opportunity and those who did
not accept are off Of the list, SO the
officials say.
The C. & o, has placed contract
with the American Car & Foundry
Company at Huntington and Chicago
for a million dollars worth of repair
work on cars. They say this win en-
able them TO keep the rolling stock in
running order.
The government has taken over the
control Of coal distribution, but 1t is
moving very slowly. Mines in the Big

from the railroad.
