BOeGs DETAILS BOND SYSTEM

Prominently in the minds of those
who are considering the advisability
Of Kentucky voting a $50,000,0OO
bond issue with which to construct
in a five-year period the primary
road system of the state is the ques-
ton Of how those roads are going
to be properly maintained during the
life of the bond issue, while part of
the revenues collected for road pur-
poses is going into the sinking fund
by which the bonds are to be retir-
ed.
To- show how this can be done
State Highway Commissioner Joe
Boggs, at the request of the Ken
tucky Good Roads Association, has
given some detailed explanation:
"The primary system of state
roads, which, when completed, will
put every county seat Of Kentucky
on at least two fine highways, has
a total length of 1000 miles and one
of the most important problems in
connection with this proposed con-
struction is proper maintenance of
these roads after they are built A
careful detailed estimate of this
cost has been made by the State
Highway Department in order to as
certain whether or not there will be
money enough for this purpose
without any further increase in tax
alton after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for interest and sink
ing fund purposes to take care of
the proposed bond issue.
"Of the 1000 miles of road en-
h-aced in the primary system it is
planned that 1,50O miles will be
either a high grade asphalt or a
reinforced concrete construction
and the remaining $500 miles will
be secondary raods well built or
macadam or gravel, with surface
treatment by bituminOus oil over al
most all Of it.
BASED upon present revenues
and without cOnting on any increase
in them from an increased use of
motor vehicles and gasoline and
placing federal aid at 81 ,400,O
annum there will be $4,50O,OO0 ac-
cruing annually to the road fund.
Deducting $3,OOO,OOO a year for
sinking fund and interest there is
left $1,5OO,0OO annually for main
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-02-02

! tenance.
During the construction period
of first five years, this will, it is
believed amount to very little. On
that portion of $500 miles of Sec
ondarf road finished during the
earlier part of the five years. con-
struction period there will be some
maintenance, though not enough to
be very serious, consideration.
However, a more regular provision
must be made for maintenance of
both classes of roads between the
fifth and tenth years.
During this period the concrete
or asphalt roads will require about
500 a mile a year. A considerable
part of the work at this time is the
preservation Of good drainage by
keeping the bitches open. Mainten-
ance on the concrete and asphalt
will therefore be at this time surface
treated two or probably three times.
This viii consist of an oil treatment
and cold patching where necessary.
Some ditch work will also be reqnir ir-
ed and the total cost a mile a year
will be about 5000 or $1,5OO,OO0 a
year for the whole work. So main
tenance for both classes of road ag-
gregated annually during the period
from the fifth to the tenth year,
81, ,65O,OOO, or S,,25O,OOO for the
whole time
"The period between the tenth and
fifteenth year will increase the
maintenance on the concrete and as
phalt roads to 5000 a mile year.
This is necessary in order to take
care of small holes which experience
shows will by that time begin to ap-
pear in their surfaces and to keep
the bitches open. Maintenance of
$500 miles for this period must be
increased from 5000 to $500 a mile
a year. Besides surface treatment
and cares of drainage some new ma
terial will be required. For this per-
iod therefore maintenance will be at
the rate of 2, 100000 per annum,
or $l1, 100000 for the five years.
In the period between the fif-
teenth and twentieth years the rate
of normal cost of maintaining the
road system indefinitely should be
established. 1t is estimated that the
annual charge against hte concrete
and asphalt roads will be at $500
mile a year, while that against the
macadam and gravel roads will re-
main at about $500 mile a year
During the five year period this will
mean a cost of 12,250.0O0 for up
keep o fthe entire system. AS this
same cost will, it is believed, contin-
ue indefinitely this rate per annum
should be allowed for maintenance
during the last ten years of the life

Changes in the revenue la ware of
material benefit to the average FAM
ily man. Under the revenue act of
1921 a married person, living with
wife or husband, whose net income
for 1921 was $4,000 or less, is allow
ed a personal exemption of $4,000.
Under the revenue act of 1918 the
exemption allowed married person
was $4,000, regardless of amount Of
net income.
The normal tax rate is the same,
A per cent on the rst $4,000 Of net
income above the exemptions, and
8 per cent on the remaining net in
come. iven his personal exemption
of $4,000, plus $400 for each de-
pendent, married man with three
children-the average American
-family-will pay this year ON net
income of $4,000 a tax Of $12. On
the same income for 1921 he would
have paid tax of $50.
Every citizen and resident of the
United States must determine for
himself whether his income for 1921
was sufficient t orequire that a re-
turn be fled. Full instructions for
making out a return are contained
on the forms, copy of which will
be sent to taxpayers who fled re-
turn last year. Failure TO receive
a return last year, however, does
not relieve a taxpayer of his obliga-
ton to file return on time, on or
before March Is, 1922. Forms may
be obtained from collectors of in
ternal revenue and branch offices.

THE SOLDIERS BONUS

The Republicans in congress have
at last got together in caucus and
agreed to pass bill. The bill is
called Soldiers Bonus bill, but the
intended benefciaries are the Re-
publican congressman who are up
for reelection next November. The
caucus did not agree upon any plan
to raise the several thousand mil
lion dollars required to pay the bo-
nus, but ordered a bill drawn, leay-
ing it to the Ways and Means Com
mittee to find something to tax. They
think the soldier vote they will Sc
cure by passing the bill viii more
than Offset the votes they viii lose
by increasing the tax burdens for the
next 20 years. When it comes to a
matter of getting themselves re-
elected, budget systems mean moth
ing to congressman, nor the warn
ings Of the secretary Of the treas
ury and the dhsapproval OF the pres
ident.
Secretary Mellon has pointed out
that there will be a deficit for the
years 1929 Of some 100000, 900
without the payment of bonus.
The budget, when submitted, he re-
garded as substantially correct"
and believed that with economy it
could be balanced with expenditures.
But with bonus estimated at $3,-
100000, 900 and no known source of
revenue left untapped, the admins
tration has right to be uneasy, not
to say fabbergasted.
There is little doubt that Presi-
dent Harding would veto any bonus
bill that made such an assault on
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-02-02

the treasury, if he dared; and there
is a chance of vacancy in his cab
met if he let's il become a law with
out providing the revenue.
OF course, there is chance that
it may never get through the senate.
In their hearts, most of the fnan-
cially-wise Republicans are opposed
to the bonus in any form, and espe-
cially in the present and prospective
state of the country's finances; but
the smaller Republicans are willing
to take a chance Of passing il
through the house, at least.
Remembering what a tower Of
strength the Grand Army of the Re-
public was to the Republican party
in the decades following the war be-
tween the states, the political mama
gers may hope to profit by, catering
to the soldiers, but they should re-
member that the world war was not
sectional war, and the men who
took part in it cannot be lined up to
"vote as they fought" as in the
war for secession. The American
Legion, although asking for a bonus,
is not political faction, and its
members are by no means a unit on
this question. And furthermore, they
viii not consent to be tail to the
Republican kite. Approximately half
of them were Republicans before,
and the others were as surely
Democrats, and we have no doubt
viii remain so, despite the attempt
to make the bonus a political issue.

SCHOOLS OPPOSE
BIGGER LOUISVILLE

A special committee was appoint
ed by the Louisville Board of Edu-
cation at meeting to call on Mayor
Huston Quin and protest against the
city formally annexing before July
! the territory which is to be taken
in because such action would great
ly increase the financial burden Of
the school system.
School officials pointed out that
should the territory be annexed be-
fore July /, the board would have TO
take care Of twelve county schools,
which probably would result in the
school sytem finishing the year with
a deficit Of $111,0OO. II was said
that indications are that the school
boards deficit, without the county
school expense, will be $4,000.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-02-02

$33,OOO,OOO

Total. ...--....... ,-...... $33,OUU,UUU
"Again this $33,OOO,OOO there will
even if there is no natural increase
J in these revenues, come into the
road fund during the period of 20
years $3O,OOO,00O. From experience
in growth of the use Of automobiles
traffic of both Kentucky and other
states the increase in these revenues,
without any increase in the rate of
taxation viii much more than take
care of any excess of future main
tenance costs over present rate in
which these revenues are received.
This samestatemen tholds good re-
garding the maintenance charges be-
tween the twentieth and thirtieth
years of the life of the bond issue.
"The sinking fund provisions con-
templated the sale of the bonds at
per cent, but best financial advi-
ces are to the effect that these
bonds can be placed at par par 4 1-2
per cent. Furthermore, only per
cent is allowed on sinking fund in
vestments, when there is good rea-
son to believe that 3 IL per cent be
secured. These two savings could
be carried into the maintenance
fund and together with the increased
revenues from the greater use of au-
tomobiles and consumation of gaso-
line would raise that fund to a fig
ure considerably beyond the norI laI
requirements for maintenance.
"Some test to the correctness of
the estimated maintenance charges
can be secured by the consideration
of what the department has spent in
this way during the last year and
half. There were 467 miles of road
taken over by the department for
strictly maintenance purposes.
I There were also an additional %
miles charged to maintenance, but
this was really reconstruction work
done by the maintenance crews. OF
| the 467 miles in question 125 miles
was new road. The rest was old
road in varying degrees of repair
which the department had decided
to accept from county authorities
being in sufficiently good condition
to justify state maintenance. A
very large part of it required the
maximum expenditure for this pur-
pose which the department would
allow. There was, of course, sub
stantially no cost of maintenance
for the new road. However consid-
ering fhe entire 467 miles together
as being under maintenance the av-
erage was 5000 a mile for the year
and One-half from July /, 1920, to
January l, 1922.
"When the question of mainten-
ance is analybed in detail it soon be-
comes evident that a great length of
time it would toke to complete the
primary road system by the pay-as-
you-go method Of expenditure and
this is assuming THAT thehre would
be no legislative diversion whatever
from the funds which now are.devo-
ted to road purposes"

Dear Mr.. Roscoe:
Ny opinions are probably Of little interest
70 Others; nevertheless, cannot resist the
temutation 20 put In word or two on the
lie Gailienne question.
First le me state that | agree entirely
with Mr. Hunter But Ar. Hunter, In his

that lie Gallienne had lost his FIRE, that his
inspiration had run dry. But truly. was
there ever, in any Of Mr.. Le Gallienne's
work, any irel Was there even spark /!
II so. il was borrowed.
Mr.. lie Gallienne's poems are, and always
have been, quite as lovely, and quite as un-
lovely, as wax flowers. That Is, they are
nearly always perfect-technically. Wax
flowers may be the same, but they viii also
he funeraai. as Mr. lie Gallienne's poems are
| think this analogy Of wax blossoms Is
particularly happy. The school Of which lie
Gallicnnes poems are the latest, and, let US
hope, the last representatives, Is extinct.
Rnt Mr. lie Gallienne will not admit this,
and so he sits in the midst Of a sterile
garden, ooncocting artificial reminiscent
blooms with fae.le fingers.
By the way. w. Adolphe Roberts, in his
letter in to-day's Tribune, says that lie Cal
lienne is zone OF bare half dozen poets OF
distinction in America" I wonder who are
the other FIVE? One lie Gallienne is bad
enough, but five more ike him!-salnts
help u.s.
Sir. Hunter Is TO be thanked for prieking,
or. at least, attempting to prick the colossal
bubble Of Mr. lie Galliennc's reputation. But,
alas, | fear there are too many who really
enjoy verse that says nothing that has not
been said before. and says that in the same
way. Some people are very much ayerse 70
reading anything that is remotely likely to
arouse thought
But still, II il is to n mans taste TO have
