 Ali Dickinson and Bill Wallace got into an argument last week over the precision with which one of Bills mules can kick. Bill said:
 "That there mule kin kick a chip off'n a mans shoulder thout hurtin' i'm"
 Ali said he'd bet $5 the mule couldn't do no such thing.
 Bill took him up.
 Put a chip on your shoulder" says Ali, "an' let the mule kick it off"
 "No," says Bill, "I've got to stay at the mules head when he kicks" "
 "Meanin', l s'pose,' says Ali, "that I've got to put the chip on my shoul- der"
 "Perzackly," says Bill.
 "'S all right" says Ali, putting a chip on his shoulder and standing up close to the mules stern. "Tell yore mule to start"
 The mule dropped his head, hauled both rear feet under his stomach, and let fly, landing square on Ais ast-bone, Ali almost simultaneous ly landing on the back of his own neck about rod away. But he came up in a hurry.

 "Slow up, oP-timer," says Bill. q bet you five the mule could perform that leetle operation 'thout hurtin' him. Yub see as how he ain't hurt none, don't yer?"
 Of course there could be no further argument after that. Ali hadn't un- derstood the best, that was all.

seventeen years Of service on the

his entire time to his duties as Ma
tional Commissioner of Baseball, he
announced today when he forward
ed his resignation to President War

For fifteen months Judge Lands

ANTI.DARwIN BILL

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 16.-The
anti-evolution bill seems to be dead,
and buried in the Rules Committee
of the State Senate.
Resurrection is possible, but not
probable, the lawmakers say. They
point to the personnel of the Rules
Committee and to the rule which
necessitates a vote of twenty Sen
tors to do something that the Rules
Committee does not want to do dur
ing the last twenty days of session.
Parliamentary speaking, further
consideration of the Rash substitute
anti-evolution measure was post
poned by vote of 10 to II in the
Senate this morning until 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. The Rules Com
mittee takes charge of the advance
ment of all bills Monday. BY
postponing discussion, the Senators,
in reality, killed the bill without
having to go on record for or
against it.

HARDING FAvORs SALES
TAX PLAN For BONUS
Otherwise President Thinks
Bonus Legislation Should
Be Postponed.

2 Washington, Feb. L. President
Harding informed Congress today
he considered a general sales tax
the only feasible method of raising
funds for a soldier bonus.
The executive, in a letter address
ed to Chairman Fordney, Of : the
house ways and means committee,
suggested that unless Congress saw
fit to enact sales tax, passage OF
bonus legislation should be post
poned temporarily.
President Harding's letter was
written In accordance with a prom
ise made to Mr.. Fordney and his
associates on the Senate and House
committees, charged with the re-
sponsibility of formulating proposed
bonus legislation.
1 believe, the President wrote,
"the American people win accept
the levy of general sales tax to
meet the proposed bonus payments
and we should contribute thereby
no added difficulties to the problems
of readjustment. II 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"
The Presidents letter was regard
ed generally at the capital as leay-
ing the bonus situation even more
complicated than before.
Thus the President has put the
whole responsibility back on Con-
gress, where it was in the beginning,
and Congress knows that the one
tax they could not pass is the sales
tax.

hicles who impose the greatest
wearing stresses on the improved
roads and who would be the great
est beneficiaries from long con-
nected mileage of inter-cogpty high
ways We have found here in Illi-
no!s that the motor vehicle. owners
are the greatest boosters OF i'm
proved roads ard they demand that
the maximum mileage be built each
year regardless OF the extreme high
costs we have had to meet the past
four years. We imagine that the
automobile owners of Kentucky
when put to the test of voting on a
bond issue proposition will welcome
such a tax in order to get good
roads. as such roads as would be
constructed would more than pay
for themselves in savings on money
paid out for repairs due to the ex-
tremely bad roads encountered over
the greater part of the road mile
age in the State OF Kentucky.
With a system of improved hard
surfaced highways, Kentucky farm
lands would enhance in value, far
mers would be able to market their
products more handily and greater
markets would open up for their
products.
When the present $50, 1000, 900

all Of the inter-county roads will
have been completed and a majority
of the counties expect to promote
road building programs of their
own to pull the whole rural popula-

Frankfort. Ky. Feb. 16.-Amid
applause from the gallery crowded
with delegations of former service
men. including 200 negroes from
Lexington, the House Of Representa-
tives today passed the soldier bonus
bill. providing for the submission OF
a $4,000, 900 bond issue in Novem-
ber to pay $40 for each month to
former service men and women.
The vote, 64 to IT, was the great
est surprise of the session, as each
friend Of the measure believed 1t
doomed.
Should the Senate pass the bill
and the Governor sign it. 1t will be
up to the voters to determine at the
1922 election whether the bonds
are to be issued. To retire the
bonds an ad valorem tax of cents
on each 500 worth OF property in
the State is provided. The Bonus to
be paid to any individual is to be
limited to-s250.

SUCCESS OF KENTUCKY
ROAD BONO ISSUE
Predicted by Former Ohio Cou ity
Boy, Now Exp.fN Highway
Engineer.
BY l.. o. Coleman
Assistant Highway Engineer,
Illinois Division of Highways.


In your issue of few weeks ago
I noted with great deal of pleasure
editorial on the bill now pend
ing before the State Legislature con-
cerning the Constitutional Amend
ment which, IL passed, will come be-
fore the voters next fall, allowing
the State to pass a law to issue
$50 900, 900 in bonds to construct
a permanent system Of Inter-County
Highways.
We have, here in Illinois, Just
such a law, operating in much the
same way that your proposed law
would act, IL passed. And in view
of same I am going to try to relate
to you in as short q space as poss-
ible how our Illinois State Law
functions.
The Illinois $60,0OO.OO0 Bond
Issue Law was passed by an over
whelming popular vote in November,
1918. 1t consists of a horsepower
tax on all motor vehicles, the money
thus collected to be used to pay in
terest on the s6O,000,QQ0 issue of
bonds and create a sinking fund to
retire the bonds at the end of
twenty years. These bonds are is
sued as money is needed and sold
at auction to the highest bidder
And as they are tax-exempt and Sc
cured by the automobile tax they
are saleable to the best advantage
to the State.
We are building roads now at
the rate of four hundred miles per
year and the 1922 contraction pro-
gram calls for one thousand miles
of completed pavement. This means
that in three or four years we will
have all the county seats connected
as well as all inter-city highways
complete. All of our roads are
built of reinforced, monolithic con-
crete, eighteen to twenty-four feet
wide and are designed to carry tn
heaviest truck and automobile traf-
fic. These roads are expected to
last for twenty years and after that
as they wear out they will furnish
an excellent base for resurfacing
with asphalt or some other btu
minous material.
The reason for building roads of
rtmanent design is, that to be cf
most value to the stata, they should
last with proper maintenarce The
period of time for which the bonds
are issued in order that full value
may be received for the money
spent.
In building roads that are per-
manent (by permanent, we mean
roads that are constructed of brick.
asphaltic concrete or
asphalt on a concrete basel the
cost of maintenance is reduced to
the minimum and the greatest
of service is gotten for the
money spent. Such system OF
highways as promised by the pro-
posed Bond Issue Law would con-
nect the people Of Ohio County
with adjoining counties and give
hem a ready all-year-round road

NOTICE TO EX-SEEvICE MEN

A reorganization of the Hopkins
Vile Sub-District Office of the u S.
Veterans Bureau has brought about
the following changes, due to the
decentralization program outlined
by recent legislation.
Mr.. Guy Dority, formerly OF
Christian County, and an ex-service
man, has been appointed Sub-Dis-
trict Manager. He will have COM
plete supervision of the service to
eX-service men in this territory.
Mr.. w. N. Shackleford, who has
been the Acting Sub-District Mana
ger, is now in change of the Rehabil-
itation Section, and will supervise
the vocational training of disabled
former soldiers.
A new division has been created,
known as the Contact, or Service
Division, with Mr. Mark Cunning
ham, also one of our home boys and
an ex-service man, as Contact Rep
resentative. This Section will take
care of the compensation claims,
new and pending, of the disabled
ex-service men in this Sub-District.
A plan is now being worked out by
this Division, whereby men living in
the outlying counties will be reach
ed. 1t is planned to have repre-
sentative Of the Q. S. Veterans Bu-
reau go into every county in this
territory at the earliest possible
date. thereby giving every ex-ser-
vice man a chance to talk personal
ly with some member of the Bureau,
that they may be advised as to the
preparation and prosecution OF
their claims. A schedule will be
made, and every local organization
interested will be notified of the
date the Contact man will be in
their county, in sufficient time that
adequate publicity may be given,
and every former service man who
has grievance. notified that he
may tell his troubles, and get
prompt consideration in his case.
The cooperation of the Ameri-
can Legion, the American Red Cross,
and other organizations interested
in the ex-service man, has been
solicited. These organizations are
harmoniously with the
U S. Veterans Bureau in other To-
and it is hoped that thGy
will do so in this territory. The
support Of the general public in as
sisting the ex-service men to secure
their rights is heartily solicited.
Mr.. Dority stated that "The Hop
kinsville sub-pistrict ONCE is at
the command Of all the disabled
service men in this territory, and is
anxious to render them the service
they are Justly due. and promises a
square deal to each and every one
OF them"
The support of the newspapers is
solicited. that through their news
columns the U. S. Veterans Bureau
may keep the ex-service men in
formed OF their rights and benefits
due them under the Act.
