Auto Death Toll
$4,000 in 1921

The number of persons killed in au-
tomobile accidents In the UnitedStates
In 1921 was estimated at between H.
900 and $4,000, probably nearer the
higher figure at a joint meeting OF
the officers Of the public safety Sec
ton OF the National Safety Council
and the managers of various local
safety councils in Chicago The esti-
mate was based on comparison OF
the 1920 figures with reports already
received from several cities and
States
This is an increase Of from 1000 to
1000 over deaths from auto accidents
in 1920, when approximately 1000
persons were killed Based on the
higher figure, safety officials to-day
said that death from an automobile
accident In 1921 occurred on an aver
age OF every thirty-five minutes.

Those who are looking for evidence
to prove that the standard of the Unit
ed States Senate is becoming lower
will find in the seating of Newberry a
very CONCLUSIVE peace Of proof. The
Senate of a. few years ago denied
Lorimer and Stephenson the seats OBJ
tanned by means not any worse than
Newberry employed. to say the least.
The Senate of today by a majority Of
46 to Al voted purchased seat to the
man sentenced to the penitentiary for
the crime by the courts of his home
state and freed by the United States
Supreme Court on technically. The
seat cost 100000 or more. Is It prob
able that the man occupying such a
seat will iegisiate for the best inter-
ests of the people?
Senator Sutherland of West Virginia
was one of the pine Republicans who
voted against Newberry. Senator Ernst
was one of the 46.

VIII Hayes, Postmaster General. has
resigned from Harding's cabinet to
take a moving picture job at $4,000
per year. The President has issued
statement saying that while he hates
to give Bill UP he is doing so because
the movie job offers greater oppor-
tunity for helpful public service" We
are foolish enough to feel that the
President is holding out something on
the public when he flashes this state
ment on the screen and fails to show
that beautiful salary. 1t is not the
fashion in movie circles to leave any
thing to the imagination; and as a
newspaper man Mr.. Harding has over
looked the most appealing feature in
this human interest story.

Big Sandy people believe that Ash
land should not contend for the pro-
posed Northeast Kentucky State Nor
NAL School. Ashland is soliciting the
business OF the Big Sandy valley in a
general way and in a larger measure
and should not become our rival for a
school that has been intended and an
nounced all along by its promoters to
be located in the Big Sandy valley.
Such an institution would mean ten
times as much to any Big Sandy town
as it would to Ashland. We suggest
that the leading business men Of that
city think this matter over and decide
whether or not 1t will be advisable to
enter into this contest.

Absurdity of Taxing
Coal Tonnage 5 Per Cent

The Evening Post has been Inform
ed of bill. prepared for presentation
10 this Legislature. which proposes a
Hat tax OF per cent upon the sale
price OF all coal mined ia Kentucky.
Let us see how this would work out.
The value OF the coal mined In Ken
lucky during the last twelve months.
concerning which records are COM
plete was we believe. close TO $780,
100000. OF course the coal operators
only get fraction OF this, for the cost
OF production had to come out first.
But. applying the 5 per cent tax sug-
gested above. n total OF tT.500.00O
would have been collected from this
single industry In one year, or about
as much as the yield from direct tax
alton upon all the property in Ken
lucky,
Obviously this is more than the
traffic can bear" The passage OF such
bin would simply close dozens OF
coal mines in Kentucky, for In many
there is not nj present n per cent
profit upon operation. this placed on
top OF such local taxes as are levied.
And the proposition OF a tax upon
gross receipts is bed. WHEN taxes OF
this kind are levied they should be
imposed purely on profits; nothing
could be worse than taxing deficit.
And the amount suggested $780,
900 annually--is great deal more
than the coal men should be required
10 nay In addition TO what they pay
now. They do not pay what they
should pay as things stand: Of that
the Evening Post for one is satisfied.
But we stand unaiterably against any
coal tax so oppressive. In form or In
yield, as 10 cripple the coal industry
in the State.
The Evening Post has heretofore
stated It's belief that the proper way
TO proceed IL TO increase the assess
ments OF coal land. refraining from
unreasonable increases. But what
would reasonable. increase be? The
Evening Post does not know, aud. IL
