A KENTUCKY SHERIFF

Had Sheriff Ridenour of Vinia
failed to outwit the mob leaders when
he invited them to enter his Jail to
see for themselves that the prisoner
was not there he might have had to
yield his prisoner with the jail doors
open.
That he certainly would have had
to yield him cannot reasonably be
contented. There is at least a posi-
bility that courageous sheriff and
few deputies might have made the
mob stand back even with the doors
of the jail open. Doubtless Mr.. Ride
nouT had in mind, as a last resort,
defense of the prisoner should his
plan fail
An officer of the law a coolheaded
as Sheriff Ridenour is rare in any
county and in any state. His concep-
tion of his functions is that Of a SOL
der to whom conscientious service is
always the first and the last consid-
Grafton. and death always preferable
: to deviation from the line Of duty
a sheriff lacking courage might
have opened the jail door, in a pre-
tended effort to escape with his pris-
oner, managing to let the mob dis
cover the prisoner and procure him.
A sheriff capable Of executing the
plan Of Mr.. Ridenour hardly would
be the man not to fight while his
ammunition lasted in the event Of his
failure to get away with the prisoner
unsuspected by the mob
II every custodian Of a prisoner
we're conscientious few lynchings
would occur after the capture Of the
alleged criminal by the peace officers.
Men who have courage enough to defy
mob are not so rare as sheriffs and
jailers who are so completely cut Of
sympathy with the object Of the mob
that they desire TO see the mob dis
perse emptyhanded. More mob out
RACES are due to the connivance of
custodians of prisoners than to their
cOwardice.
| Conniyance often is regarded by
the sheriff or jailer as practical pol
itics. Cases could be mentioned in
which an officer who did not lift a
finger to prevent lynching was the
beneficiary of cOnnivance as a candi-
date to succeed himself
a state of affairs in which an Of
icer who permits a mob to lynch a
man strengthens himself in county
politics is one in which the connivaDce
OF grand jurors is highly probable
when an investigation Of the lynching
occurs. Therefore honest officers have
far-reaching powers as opponents OF
true civilization. Courier Journal.

June 80, 1922, fell off almost $1,4G0,
100000, or 80 per cent, as compared
with the previous year, according tt
the annual report of the lnterna

sioner Blair. Incomes and profits

| ed a decrease of $1,141, 100000, or 81

110,532,6 61S for 1922, a decrease OF
$256,S66,7 ,77O, or 10 per cent. This
slump, Mr.. Blair said, was accounted
for mostly by the repeal of a reduc-
tion in rates Of various taxes provided

fective January 1, 1922.
The net expenditure for collecting
taxes for 1922 was $34,2S6,651, which

collected, as compared with 72 cents
for each 800 the previous year.
"The difference in the relative cost
Of collection for the fiscal years 1921
and 1922" Mr.. Blair said, "is due
mainly to the large reduction in the
revenues of 1922, incident to the
shrinkage in business and incomes,
the repeal of certain miscellaneous
war taxes, and various provisions of
the law, such as the amortization of
wartime facilities and the increase in
individual exemption contained in the
revenue act of 1921, with the conse-
quent reduction in the income tax liza
