Russia, today, seems to be the
1epper spot on the Worlds mass Of
civilization. Russia's poor are the
poorest, yet in the midst of where
there should be plenty. They were
the first to drop out of the world
war and instead of steadying down
have rapidly gone from bad to worse,
so that now it does not seem possi-
BILE that internal conditions could be
more deplorable. Government, or
rather the lack OF government must
be wholly to blame TOR Russia's pres
emit plight. Her men at the head of
her so-called government cannot OBJ
tain recognition from any of the
Powers worth while, and as to trade
relations, she has none. They as
sumo an attitude marked as dishonest
by the remainder of the world.
They want to scrap all evidence Of
debt as created by and under the old
regime, which is operating first of

short con B. of those who would
rule is a long one. We have but
little use for Cars or rulers of that
ilk, but when Nicholas was unhorsed
and murdered it marked the con-
tinuation of a rough, much rough
er road for Russia's populace. The
country has all that is necessary to
go into the makeup Of a happy and
prosperous people, excepting govern
ment. With few and scattering ex-
ceptions her natural resources for
wealth and productivity are unsur-
passed and while this is true there
is but little to be had in her vast re-
gions and but little of what there is,
costs a fortune in the medium of
her exchange. Dollars even in Am
erican money must be doubled two or
three times to procure first-class
meal and then in large areas IL is not

Sun may shine on Russia earlier than
is now apparent, but prospects seem
far distant. All because of the lack

NO MORE CHARITY ROADS

Directors Of the Louisville Board Of
Trade are right in disapproving the
proposal that Louisville raise $780,
900 by subscription to patch the Jack
son Highway in Kentucky.
Roads cannot be made for modern
traffic and mainland by gifts. Ken
lucky faces a situation which many
Kentuckians hesitate to face. The
problem of roads cannot be solved
by patching and by asking gifts of
money with which to do the patching.
Louisville recognizes the States
deplorable situation and recognizes
its own interest in the States devel-
opment. If every county in Kentuc-
ky were gridironed by hard roads, If
every county seat were upon a good
road, Louisville would profit by the
improvement and would take a profit
every day upon the Improvement
This city would be glad, regardless
of any benefit it might derive from
it, to see the Jackson Highway in
good condition from one State line
to the other. But it is high time to
give up the idea that the way to get
roads made and maintained is to
solicit private subscriptions.
The Board of Trade serves the
State when IL declares that the hest
way to promote public sentiment in
behalf of the improvement of the
State is to refuse to donate money for
road making.
The response of the Board of
Trade to the application for funds
with which to patch the jackson
Highway is a first-rate good roads
paper. 1t should be read by candi-
dates for the Legislature. 1t should
be read at the right time to candi-
dates for the Legislature.
Kentucky must elect Legislature
capable of understanding that roads |
are more important than politics. I'm
til that is done the State must suffer
the consequences of having had this |
year a Legislature which had no un-
of the gravity of situa-
ton which it treated as a political
situation solely.-(Courier-Journab,

ley tobacco as a staple crop.
Tobacco growing , is a risky bus
mess. II Is made more so by the
archaic marketing conditions that
have surrounded the industry The
simple truth of the matter is the to-

hands too much and his head to lit
tleI
Judge Robert w. Bingham, pub
Usher of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, in 1921, conceived the idea Of
applying the California marketing
plan to the hurley district. In the
campaign that lasted less than four
months, some $1,000 growers Of the
light leaf signed the agreement to
enter the pool. There was opposi-
tion. aplenty. Men who had made
comfortable livings off the sale Of
tobacco for a generation or more and
those whose business II was TO lend
money on the crop at high interest
rates naturally were found in the
opposition camp. But despite this
opposition something over so per
cent of all the hurley grown in 1921
was pooled, and as result The men,
bers of the poor received, on an aver
age. five cents a pound more for their
tobacco than those who remained out
side of the pool-received.
The same methods that were used
On organizing the hurley district are
being used in the campaign among
the growers of the dark leaf
There are a few salient points
that the dark leaf growers should
take into consideration and analyze
thoroughly without prejudice in par
tisan feeling
In the first place, the association is
not organized or conducted for profit.
1t is a mutual organization that will
stabilize the tobacco market, destroy
the archaic auction system and put
the business in marketing the crop on
a sound basis.
Every grower who signs the agree
ment is a member of the association
and shares in the responsibilities
and the benefits.
Under the present system every |
grower is competing against every
other grower when the tobacco is
dumped on the loose leaf floors each
year. Under the association plan
this competition among growers will
be eliminated and the price of the |
tobacco, according to grade, will
be established by the association.
The grower will receive one-third
of the value of his crop on delivery
and the balance as the crop is mar
keted. He may mortgage the crop
and the association will pay the mort
gage out of the proceeds of the sale.
There have been other marketing
plans suggested, but q thorough ex-
animation of the plans by the Ten
nessean leads us to the belief that
the Tennessee and Kentucky dark
tobacco growers will serve themselves
best by signing the Bingham agree
ment.

SALES TAX, is
HARDING IDEA
Informs Congress He Consid-

Feasible One-Few Repub-
llcans Favor Levy.
C0MPLlCATES MATTER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-President
Harding informed the congress today
he considered a general sales tax the
only feasible method of raising funds
for soldier bonus
The executive, in letter addressed
to Chairman Fordney, of the house
ways and means committee, suggested
that unless congress saw fit to enact
a sales tax passage of bonus legisla-
ton 1t should be temporarily post
poned.
Il believe, the president wrote. "the
American people will accept the levy
of general sales tax to meet the pro
posed bonus payments and we should
contribute thereby no added Difficult
ties to the problems Of re-adjustment
If congress will not adopt such a plan,
it would be wise to let the legislation
go over until there is a situation which
will justify the large outlay"
Sees Relief Ahead
Declaring that the government has
under consideration the disposition Cf
surplus war properties, and other
transactions, which would bring great
relief to the treasury, the president
said it would be wise to let the 1egis-
lation go over if congress did not
deem it advisable to adopt the sales
! tax.
| The presidents letter was regarded
generally at the capital as leaving the
bonus situation even more complicated
than before.

and consider the White House COM

When the sales tax was discussed
in the last meeting last week, 1t was
understood that senators were inform
