Kentucky's Plight
Draws Attention
(Ctnlirued from Pagc oneo

a result of the repeal of the safes TAX
The State of Kentucky now mas some
thing like $25, 100000 in interest-oear-
ing State warrants already outstand-
ing. so that if this one baton OF war
rants is issued, the States floating
debt will be boosted up to $27,OOO,OoO
or $4,000, 900. This debt is in State
warrants, not State notes, ISSUED IN
payment of current bills and salaries.
The largest floating debt North
Carolina has had in the past ten years
was at the close of the Gardner adj
ministration, when some $12,OO0,0OO In
notes were outstanding. This amount
was borrowed so the State could pay
the school teachers for the State-sup-
ported six months school term, since
the 1881 General Assembly passed
law STIMULATING that the budget act
should not apply to teachers salaries,
with the result that they could not
be reduced in accordance with other
expenditures. This amount of indebt-
edness, together with some $2,000,0O0
more, was ordered funded by a bond
issue by the 1885 General Assembly
and the bonds sold at rate of 2.75
history of the State North Carolina
now has no floating Indebtedness. and
has not had to borrow one penny of
money since 1883.
But Kentucky cannot issue any
bonds without a vote of the people
and the people have consistently re-
fused to authorize the issuance Of
any bonds to fund this floating in
debtedness. Apparently it cannot even
borrow on State notes, with the re-
suit that for several years it has been
forced to issue interest bearing war
rants whenever it lacked enough cash
to pay it's obligations in cash. One Of
the present problems Of the Ken
lucky legislature is not only to find
revenue with which to retire the ST.
100000 to $3,OO0,0OO in warrants which
Governor Chandler is expected to all
thcrizc Immediately, but to find some
way TO retire. the other $4,000, 900 in
State warrants.
The only direct move made by Gov
ernor Chandler SO far to find a sub
stitutc for the sales tax has fseen to
discharge some $500 state employees,
which he estimates will save the State
about $1,000,000 within the next six
months. But he still must find funds
with which to pay the university and
normal school faculties and operating
expenses. also the school teachers-or
the part Of their salaries paid from
state funds. So far the money with
which to do all this is not in sight,
according to press reports from Ken
lucky. For the revenue from the sales
tax in Kentucky, as in North Carolina
was used to pay the expense of the
schools and other State educational
institutions.
kentucky already imposes a State
tax of five cents a gallon on the
manufacture of whiskey, but the dis
tillers are already objecting to this
on the grounds that it puts them at
a disadvantage in competing with dis
tillers in other states. SO on the whole
it would seem that Kentucky is in
something of a mess.

Always a favorite Of her mother
in-law. Queen Mary, the duchess
was drawn even closer to her by
their mutual love for the little
princesses, In whose early educa-
ton the queen took a prominent
part.
In the rather retiring life at las
Piccadilly, plain four-story house to
which the family had removed from
the Bruton street home, the duch-
ess took an always active part In
running the household, and 1t be-
came generally known that among
her talents was that Of being very
good cook. Careful rearing and
Scotch thrift had made her into an
ideal housekeeper.
When Edward succeeded to the
throne, the Duchess Of York became
