4PEAcE DOLLAR"
MIsNAMEb, OFFICERS
OF TREASURY SAY

Washington. Jan. s.--The new peace
dollar is misnamed and will have to
be Withdrawn from circulation and re-
modelled. II is said at the treasury.
Trouble has been associated with
the new coin since Its career was
launched. President Harding, It's spon-
sor. had n premonition Of this when
he exclaimed the dimple placed In the
exchange OF the liberty" Feminine
dimpies.'' he said, are not usually as :
ISOLATED with peace"
That was removed. but now II is dis
covered that the sculptor, Anthony
Francisco placed his monogram--"Af"
beneath the face OF Liberty which
Is modelled from that OF his wife. In
itials on money are taboo. II is stat
ed.
But more serious yet Is the fact that
bunkers complain the new dollar will
not stack and others say It is too
thin. II the issue Is withdrawn those
already In circulation may go TO a
premium and collectors win fight for
them. Hence treasury officials smile
when you refer TO the new issue as
''the peace dollar"

One OF the greatest opportunities the
United States Senate has to retain or
regain or obtain (as the case may be)
the confidence and respect Of the peo-
pie is to deny a seat in that body to
the man who buys 1t. or for whom II is
bought What matters IL his family or
friends do the buying? If Newberry,
OF Michigan were as guiltless and as
high a type Of citizen as he admits"
himself to be he would resign all claim
to the tainted Michigan seat in the
Senate. But no! He wants it-taint,
stencil and stink. Notwithstanding. The
people took the election Of United
States Senators out of the hands Of
the Legislatures because rich men
were buying enough votes to elect
them. The wonderful increase in wealth
now enables rich and ambitious men
to go out and corrupt a whole state.
The only way to stop 1t is to deny the
seat TO the intended beneficiary IN ey-
cry such case

A tax of five cents per ton on all
coal mined in Kentucky is proposed
by a lot of Central Kentucky people.
This would amount to s600.00 per acre
tax on the average coal lands in the
Eastern Kentucky coal fields, and this
is said TO be half the profit made by
coal operators in normal times. Such
a tax would make 1t impossible to
compete with our neighbor states. Not
one OF them has tonnage tax on coal
II some of our coal lands are not as
sessed high enough search them out
and raise the valuation. The same
thing is probably true Of coal lands
and central Kentucky lands and Blue
grass horses and burnley tobacco, and
all other property. both tangible and
Intangible.

many OF these districts. Some Circuit

Washington, Jan. Representative
J. c. Cantrill of Kentucky today told
the House of Representatives how
Kentucky hurley tobacco growers had
organized the largest cooperative

try.
During the last four or five months
we have built farmers cooperative
organization in Kentucky" said Mr..
Cantril, and believe II will be of
interest to the House and to the coun-
try at large to know something about
it. We have recently formed an or
ganization in Kentucky OF $4,000 paid
up membership.
Our membership extends into the
States of West Virginia Southern In
diana and Southern Ohio, which grow
the same type of hurley that we grow
in Kentucky, This organization is
thoroughly perfected, now ready to do
business 1t controls 200,000.000 pounds
of hurley tobacco, which constitutes
IS per cent OF the entire production
OF that type of tobacco"
I'VE have under our control belong
ing to the organization, 115 large COM

tobacco crop, these warehouses cost

by direct vote of the SIS 900 men,
bers we have selected able conserva-
tive business men to handle this or
