He's for a New Deal to Industry,
too, and the sooner this part of the
program gets moving the sooner
we'll all be headed for better times.
This depression, as has long been
pointed out, was chiefly an Indus
trial depression, though Industry of
itself was not the cause of it.. In
dustry was forced into hard times
when working capital shrank, when
bank assets froze, when money be-
came SO tight that purchasing ceas-
ed. -.
y Conditions far beyond the con-
troll of Industry made the curtail-
ment of: production necessary.
And when production was curtail-
ed, people were forced out Of work
and off of payrolls, thus increasing

Highway Revenue
Is Soaring High

Income axes for 1884 still are
below collections of 1888, despite
the increases in rates in the lower
brackets. The drop is due to
sharply curtailed payments by the
big tobacco companies, these pay
ments being only about half what
they were last year.
Total income collections for ten
months were reported as $685.
308.23, as compared with $780,
1881 for the same period last year.
Inheritance tax collections for
1884 are badly off, amounting to
only S333,978.46, as compared with
$442,995.54 for the first ten
months of 1888.
Franchise taxes, intended to re-
capture from corporations some of
the ad valorem savings, are up
some, the 1884 collections to date
being $6,41O,1S8.20, as compared
with $6,042,203.41 for the same
period last year.
There will be no salary cuts this
fiscal year due to Disappointing
general fund revenue, as the Cen
eral Assembly authorized the diver
sion of 100000 from the high
way fund in case that sum were
available. The ten months col
.lections reveal that it will be more
than available. The bullying high
way fund also will bear the brunt
of carrying general fund obliga-
lions due to the deficit.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
MELVIN A. TRAYLOR.


The death in Chicago of Melvin A. Trayor
noted banker. comes as shocking news to nation
that considered him in the very prime of his use
fulness. -.
TravIor was doomed for the Democratic presl-
Dental nomination in 1882 and millions OF Amerl-
cans looked favorably upon him as potential can
didate.
The life history of this Chicago fnancier reads
like romance.
From boyhood log cabin home on hill farm
of southern Kentucky to the organization CONFER
ence of the Bank of International Settlements at
Basel. Switzerland was the span of Melvin Avian
Traylors career which is suddenly ended at the
age of 56.
In between he was farm laborer, district school
teacher grocery clerk, self-educated lawyer panK-
er in a Texas hamlet of $50 people, an expert on
livestock loans and then bank official IN st. LOUIS
and Chicago He became president OF the rHS'
National Bank of Chicago, of the half dozen
largest in the country at the age of At and an IN
ternational figure four years later.
Until Traylor went to Europe with Jackson s.
PavnoIds in 1929 to represent America at the or
oanzation of the international bank, it was said of
hin, that he had never been away from his work
for more than three weeks at any one time. The
1929 task, however, consumed several months
This international atmosphere was far cry
from the log cabin in the limestone hills of Adalr
county. Kentucky where Traylor was born October
81 1878. the eldest of seven children of James
Milton and Kitty Tarvey Traylor. The senior OF
this flock said he could not remember when ne
did not have to work At six he stood on soap
box and dried dishes and when the youngster was
old anouoh TO do the wiping, Melvin was promoted
to washer
For from three to five months year ne hau
schooling in another log building and when ne was
Is had achieved the equivalent of sixth grade
education Two years of saving gave HIM enough
to paw for brief high school course IN Columbia
the county seat, and then he passed an examina-
tion for teachers license. Fer two years ne eX-
pounded the three RS in LeatherwoUd Creek, get
ing $50 a wear and working a farm hand be-
tween terms Nights he studied law.
There was Lincolnesque flavor to Traylor's
life accented by rail splitting clerking in a store
and study by night.
His grandparents had followed Daniel Boone
from Virginia and settled on hill farm half
mile north of the present village of Breeding, KY.
They were Methodists, Jefersonian Democrats and
pioneers of the legendary rugged type.
Traylor's achievements should be an inspiration
to every ambitious boy in America He made his
opportunities and knew no obstacles. Above all, ne
was big enough to retain his of proportions,
and although he rose to high position the folk back
in the old home community of Adair county were
his friends in his days of greatest just the
same as when he was struggling youth.-Hlckory
Record.
