AMERICAN LEGION DISABILITY
CAMPAIGN

The American Legion Statewide
and Service Census resulted in the
filing of many hundred claims for
disability due to service in the
World War. Almost every county in
Kentucky has an American Legion
Service officer or Red Cross secretary
whose services are available to as
sist disabled Kentuckians in pre-
pairing their claims.
=. To date the Kentucky Disabled
Exservice Mems Board has on file
approximately thirteen hundred
N,300) cases of men who are suf-
fering disability on account of their
World War service and who have
not been able to secure adequate
compensation. This Board was Gre
ated by the 1922 Legislature for the
purpose of assisting them in secur-
sng their compensation. So far
more than three hundred 5000 cases
have been settled through the eff
forts of the Board and other cases
are being rapidly disposed of. Any
disability men who have not receiv-
ed proper compensation should write
the Secretary, Henry ]. Sites, 3OS
Louisville Trust Building, Louis
vile, KY, and furnish him with de-
tails of disability and cause of COM
plant, and include the claim num-
Der which is found on the right hand
side of correspondence from the
United States Veterans Bureau.
Jackson Morris, chairman of the
Board, states that in addition to new
claims and old claims as yet unset
tied, that there are many instances
of men formerly drawing proper
compensation who have had their
compensation either decreased or en-
tirely stopped without good cause.
These men should also write to Mr..
Sites promptly so that the Board
can assist in re-instating their COM
pensation.

THE DOLLAR HAS GROWING
"a PAINS"

Dollars are bigger than they were
a few years back. They have lost
that gaunt 50-cent look. The ex-
penditure of million of them by
business or industry means infinitely
more.
The announcement some time
since that the government would
expend S60.000,000 on highways
was gladly acclaimed by the people
and the press, for it was realized
that such a sum would contribute
substantially to prosperity. The
Bethlehem Steel corporation an
nounced $50,OO0,OOO in improve
ments. The railroads are to spend
millions.
Investments such as these, espe-
cially in times of stress, mean much
to the nation. They are incentives
for heavy outlays in other lines.
They serve to quicken the economic
pulse of the whole country.
Yet large as the above sums
seem, they do not compare with con-
templated expenditures of the cleo
trio light and power. gas, tele-
phone and street railway organiza-
tions, estimated at 100000 900 a
year for five to seven years. Expen-
ditures of such proportions a few
years ago would have been reflected
in rates which, instead, were held to
the minimum, while prices for most
every other thing entering into our
everyday life soored.
No utility organization is able to
finance betterments out of its earn
1ngs, which are regulated through
legal channels, and still. pay merited
interest to the many who have their
funds invested. Nor will the own
ers-of these funds continue to sup
port utilities which are jeopardized,
sometimes unjustly. by the very peo-
pie they serve.
Fairness is the key that will
hasten the release Of utility dollars
for the benefit Of the whole country.

IS TREASURE HOUSE
Abyssinia Is Wonderfully Rich in
Natural Resources.
Persian Consul General to the United
States Tells of Visit to Country
Present Rulers Willing to
Receive Foreigners.

New YOrk.-Gen. II. II. Topakyan,
Persian consul general to the United
States, who has recently visited the
rulers of the Near East, as well as
Europe, gives the following account Of
his experiences in Abyssinia:
During the lifetime of King Meme
lik Abyssinia was closed country to
the outside world. Now everything is
different. Raj Tafary. reigns in his
stead.
II have recently been the guest for
two months of this crown prince and
his mother. the queen of Abyssinia
and daughter Of King Menelik.
This royal descendant of the queen
of Sheba is advanced in years, and
affairs of state devOlve upon Crown
Prince Raj Tafary, very broadmind-
ed, smart young man of thirty-six, who
is likely any day to succeed his moth
er OF the throne. The crown prince
is highly educated and speaks many
foreign languages fuently.
'While King Menelik was afraid of
white people and never gave conces-
siOns to anyone, Raj Tafary is will
ing to have foreigners come into
Abyssinia and develop the mines, min
erals, railroads, manufactures and ag-
riculture of his domain. In the world
today L have not seen any such OppOr-
unity for profitable investment as
Abyssinia affords. The country is a
perfect treasure house of gold, silver,
copper, coal and precious stones and
immense quantities of bicarbOnateS.
Its wealth in petroleum cannot be eS-
timated, and it is also great farm
ing and cattle country. On the luxu-
cows which sold for $40 that would
bring at least $3.50 in the United
States.
son my arrival at Addis-Ababa and
the palace of this ancient empire of
AbysSinia / was presented to the
queen, who was gowned in green and
yellow silk-rOyal cOlOrs of the cOun-
try-and who sat on her throne of
state. On her head blazed a crown
of diamonds that cost 100000. On
each. side Of her stood 800 or 400 slave
girls, rObed in white, each one carry
ing a beautiful fan with which she
famed the queen. Long earrings
hung beside every comedy brown face
and anklets Of pure silver adorned
their feet. They were wealthy,
wonderful type Of girl, many Of them
like statues in their symmetry, and
the sight of several hundred bright
hued fans waving in unison from the
white clad ranks formed a scene Of
unusual beauty.
"Of all the scenes which made my
two months sojourn in Abyssinia a
period Of daily interest and wonder,
the one which impressed me most
was the ceremony of homage which
was paid by the governors and troops
of AbysSinia to their mOnarchs. Twen-
ty thousand troops assembled near the
palace and sang songs i'm honor of the
queen and prince. Then followed an
al frescO feast in the palace grounds
1t was the weekly tribute of respect
which Abyssinia kings eXacted and
from which no governor was willing
to be missed"

"The hotel, or the humble inn which
was it's fOrerunner, was not possible
until some standardized and compact
medium of exchange was available.
Therefore it is not surprising that his
tOrianS generally agree that the first
inns, where board and lodging might
be had for payment Of regular fees,
were established in Lydia.
Before that time caravanserai were
known. But they were evidences of
eastern hospitality, set up at points
where constant applications for en-
tainment grew burdensOme, and were
maintained as sort Of cooperative
guest room, or modern municipal
lodging house.

Digging for History.
"Despite these marked steps toward
culture, Lydia has remained only

dust of the land that now is Greek

SIMPSON HITS
Stokes PLAN
Move for Gradual Reduction
in Taxes Meets With Sen
ator's Objection

TRENTON, Dec. 1l-Former Gov
ornor Edward C. Stokes plan for a
gradual reduction of the tax rate of
the state from year to year will take
the money from the poor and give it
to the rich. This was the declara-
ton Of State Senator Alexander
Simpson, Democrat, from Hudson
county, commenting upon Republi-
can Chairman Stokes proposed solu-
ton of the taxation evils of the state
Senator Simpson asserted that,
contrary to the expectation OF Gov
ernor Stokes, the latter's plan will
raise taxes rather than lower them,
for, in order to procure the taxes
necessary each year, the assessors, If
they are compelled by law to hold
the tax rate stationary OF to reduce
it, as they would be required under
the Stokes proposal, would simply
raise the valuations on property IN
order to get the money required.
Thus, Senator Simpson claimed in his
statement, a house valued at $4,000
now, if Stokes suggestion Is made
law, would be increased three or four
times in value by the tax assessors.
evil Governor Stokes scheme
lower the taxes?" is the pertinent in
quiry which Senator Simpson makes
at the head of his statement. His
scheme" continued Senator Simpson,
lis to tell the tax man, Your stan
dard of taxation must be lower. Your
tax rate is now ten points. Next
year it must be nine, and the fol-
lowing year eight points, Taxation
seems a mysterious subject, akin to
the fourth dimension, but it is very
simple when you take concrete in
stances. Governor Stokes scheme,
/ think / can show, will reverse the
Robin Hood plan, and instead OF
taking money from the rich and CIV
ing it to the poor will take it from
the poor and give it to the rich.
Let Ills take a concrete instance:"

tor. Mrs. Murphy has a two-fam-
lily house. She has a little store in
! which she sells candy and notions.
| AL, she has is this little two-family
| house with a store in the bottom.
| She lives behind the store and rents
out the two floors.
Governor Stokes waves his magic
wand and the legislature makes his
plan a law. The plan says to the
tax collector, You can only use a
certain standard The tax collec-
tor first goes to the Public Service

passed. They thought it was good

haphazard personal tax they were
made to pay at the tax rate on their

rate and their gross income.
