May 25, 1934 Dixon Journal, Webster County, KY Transcribed and submitted by Jane Sellers McBroom First Roll Call 55 To 43: Measure Saved For Reconsideration At Any Time Frankfort, Ky., May 22, - Displaying an intensity of feeling reminiscent of the bitter sales tax battle, of the 1932 and 1933 session, the house defeated the administration three per cent gross receipts program today. The final official vote by which the bill was rejected was 56 to 32. Administration forced mustered 43 votes in favor of a bill to 65 against on the first roll call. The defeat, however, became a rout when some representatives misunderstood the action of an administration leader in changing his vote from aye to no in order to make a motion to re-consider. Scenes of confusion prevailed for a time as they also sought to change their votes. New Drive Planned The measure, intended to raise about $12,000,000 in new revenue for school, county roads debts, unemployment relief and saved from density rejection when administration leaders put trough their motion to lay the bill on the clerk's desk for reconsideration at any time. The vote in favor of the motion, made by Rep. Samuel Milam, Democrat, Russellville, sponsor of the bill, was 67 to 32. While some administration leaders appeared disappointed over the action, others indicated they had expected the results and would begin a new drive in an effort to obtain a constitutional majority required for reconsideration. McCarthy Says "Last Time" Marion T. McCarthy, Webster County Representative, was among those voting no on the first roll call. However, McCarthy said in the House Wednesday in answer to a challenge of Representatives Garnett for cooperation and speedy action. "Well, I voted against the sales tax and that was a vote for the Merchants Association. That was about the last time I am going to vote for them. I made a solemn pledge to vote against the sale tax and I have kept that pledge. I made another solemn pledge and that was to get money to operate the schools and feed the hungry in Webster County and I am going to keep that pledge". McCarthy expressed the opinion that there are three jackasses, in Kentucky - The Courier Journal, the Legislature and the Merchants Association". SHERIFFS BOND REDUCED Sheriff's renewal bond for 1934 for the state revenue has been fixed at $10,000. The 1934 county revenue bond is $30,000. The total amount, $40,000, is less than half the bond required during the term of R. L. Overby.

The Governor, a senator and a couple of representatives were to address the citizens in a public park. Pretty soon they started making their way through the crowd to the speakers stand, and some flunky or other who was trying to clear a path for them called out, "Make way for the representatives of the people." Instantly some one in the crowd called back: "Make room yourself: We are the people." And that's what it all comes down too. The people's representatives down at Washington may advise an kind of theory or nostrum they choose; eventually if their fellow citizens don't like the looks of it, they will hear that old, cry -"Make way yourselves. We are the People". Gazette Stillwater, Minn. MARY JANE MELTON WINS 4-H CONTEST FOR LEXINGTON TRIP Miss Mary Jane Melton, daughter of T. J.

A mass meeting of Webster county farmers and taxpayers has been called for 1:30 Saturday afternoon at the courthouse here to discuss the question of taxation, and to oppose return of the real estate tax. A committee of the Taxpayers League has issued the following call for the meeting. To The Farmers Of Webster County Notice is hereby given for a meeting of the farmers and taxpayers to be held at the courthouse in Dixon at 1:30 o'clock p.m. Saturday, May 26, for the purpose of discussing tax measures now before the Legislature. An effort is being made to replace 25 cents on the hundred dollars against real estate to partly raise the deficit now existing in Kentucky. This is vital to every farmer and every real-estate taxpayer in the State. the farmers all over the state and the Farm Bureaus are protecting against this and no meeting of the farmers has been had in this county to discuss this. If this bill is passed by the Legislature it will mean replacing of the burden on the real estate owner of Webster County. You are urged to be present to discuss ways and means of meeting the existing deficit and to meet the running expenses of the state government. Do not fail to be on hand to show your interest in this important legislation. Doubtless, the action of the farmers at his meeting will have much to do with the attitude of our representative and senator on this important matter. Unless you attend and show your interest, it will be construed by then that you are willing for the burden to go on the farmers and real estate owner. Outside speakers will be present to explain to you the gravity of the present situation and the revenue measures now pending. FARMERS MEETING HERE SATURDAY AFTERNOON A meeting of tobacco growers of this county, especially those who are members of the Stemming District Tobacco Association, has been called for Saturday afternoon at the courthouse here.

CHEVROLETS SELLS MORE THAN 100,000 IN MONTH OF APRIL Detroit, Mich., May 10. - For the first time in three years, sales of an automobile manufacturer for a single month topped the one hundred thousand mark. This was brought out today in a statement issued by William E. Heller, general sales manager of Chevrolet Motor Company, announced; detail sales of Chevrolet passenger cars and trucks during April of 100,046 units. This figure includes Canadian, export and domestic deliveries. This compares with 59,193 units in April, 1933 and 96,893 units in March of this, according to the statement. Retail sales the first four months of this year totaled 281,033 as compared to 184,138 in the same period a year ago, an increase of 52 percent . Chevrolet's April retail sales record is considered significant in view of the fact that this company as suffered an acute car shortage, practically since the new 1934 models were introduced and only now is catching up in a small measure with the thousands of unfilled orders on its books. Retail sales were higher than for any similar period in 35 months since April, 1931, to be exact, and this tremendous retail volume, according to Mr. Holler, is the direct results of the modern features and many unusual improvements incorporated in the new 1934 knee action models. YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW (By Paul J. Forsythe) When you are in the mist of cursing athletes who are uncouth as sailors and as blood thirsty as pirates it is a pleasure to hear about the finer side. The Associated Press accounts of the Oklahoma-Vanderbilt football game. Reminiscent of "Bo" McMillin's "Praying Colonels" of Centre College, the University of Oklahoma has a praying tackle a big, rawboned Thurmond Cason. Shortly, before the Vanderbilt game, in which Oklahoma held the Commodores to a scoreless tie, Cason led the Sooners in prayer and announced a similar "prayer" meeting would be held before every game this season. Cason is conceded by his team to be the cleanest player on the Oklahoma squad. He proudly displayed a gold star earned for not missing Sunday School in five years. Another splendid figure in the sport world is "Pepper" Martin, I trust the following interview will be both illuminating and challenging. Q. What is your full name? A. Johnnie Leanord Martin. Q. Where did you get the nickname, "Pepper"? A. At Fort Smith, Ark. Blake Harper gave it to me because of my dash and speed. Q. Where were you born? A. Temple, Oklahoma. Q. Were your mother and father Christians? A. Yes. Q. Did you attend Sunday School and Church as a child? A. Sunday School sometimes, but not as often as I should. Q. When and where were you converted? A. At Houston, Texas, in 1927. Q. Whom do you consider largely responsible for your conversion? A. My wife, Mrs. Ruby Allen Pope Martin, of Pinebluff, Arkansas, whom I married in 1927. Q. What led you to choose baseball as your life's vocation? A. My love for the game. I have played it all my life. Q. Do you attend Church on Sunday when it is possible? A. Yes. Q. Is your mother living? If so how often do you write her? A. She is. I'm not so much on writing, but I try to write her every week. Q. Do you pray daily? A. I don't pray as much as I should, yet I pray much of the time. I pray almost every night. Q. What is your hobby? A. Hunting. Q. Of what church are you a member? A. The Baptist. Q. Do you think liquor is harmful to athletes? A. Yes, and that goes for cigarettes, too. Q. Whom do you consider the greatest pitcher or pitchers against whom you have batted? A. Guy Bush with the Cubs and George Earnshaw. Q. Whom do you consider the greatest pitcher in baseball today? A. "Dizzy" Dean. Q. What was your greatest thrill in baseball? A. When I stole third in the World Series of 1931. Such young men do not give criminal courts any trouble. It is said that children need fewer critics and more models. The reason for part of our Juvenile Delinquency is the fact that we do not have the models. This distressing fact is brought out by a well known figure. Police Commissioner Mulrooney, of New York, a competent official of long experience in dealing with crime, finds juvenile delinquency increasing at an appalling rate in the Metropolis. His report for 1932 will show that out of 18,266 persons arrested for felonies in that year, 29 percent or 5, 234 were between the ages of 16 and 18, viz.; those 16 years old 1,287; seventeen, 1,827; eighteen, 2,000. Discussing the problem of correction he remarked: "I do not know why boys 16 and 18 years of age today should be different from the boys of two years ago. Perhaps it is lack of wholesome idols, such as athletes, solders and sailors", instead of which he finds "glorified gangster pictures and certain types of press and literature" presumptively the vicious tabloids. He gave examples of many instances in which crimes have been traced to motion picture characters and publicized gangsters. Commenting further he observed: "In the past years the criminal at the 'line-up' was a middle-age, intemperate, experienced in crime and limited in his activities to a special type of offense. Today the "line-up" presents a parade of youths ranging in age from 17 to 21, versatile in crime, who cold-bloodedly and calmly recite voluntarily in the presence of spectators and the press, the most intimate details of the planning and execution of ruthless crimes". He attended this dictum in opposing a move at Albany to raise the delinquency age from 16 to 18 years. Coincident with this President Joseph V. McKee of the New York Board of Alderman observed that "one must be very careful in picking the theater to which he wants to go unless he wants to feel somewhat soiled when he leaves." In this statement he included contemporary motion pictures. Certainly both speakers knew what they were talking about. ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICE All persons having claims against the estate of B. D.
