DEFEAT TRACBOMA
in 1912. at the request of the Ken-
tucky State Board of Health. and
under instructions from the sur‘-
geon general of the United States
Public Health Service. an officer oi
this bureau proceeded to Kentucky‘
for the purpose of determining the
prevaibnco of trachoma in that state.
A survey was aubsequently made
in 23 counties. a total of over 18.;-
000 persons examined and 0V er 1.200
that is between 7 and 8 per cent.
were found to have trachonls.
The type oi trecboma found
here was very severe and its multi-
iatiug effects were much in evidence.
Numbers of people had been blind-
ed by this disease. As one at the old
residents expressed it. "You couldn't
throw a stone in any direction with.
out hitting sore eyes."
Establish Hospital
In 1913. in co-operation with the
Kentucky State Board oi Health. the
Public Health Service established a
hospital in the county seat of Knott
county. An eye specialist was placed
in charge assisted by two trained
nurses and other necessary aids and
the problem of eradicating trachoma
was undertaken. This campaign
‘ against trachoma has been carried
on in Kentucky down fo the present
time. The records show that NO
trachoma patients." residents of
Knoit county. were treated at the
U. 8. Public Health Service. Trac-
homa Hospital during the year 1918
to 1822 inclusive.
The same officer. who went over
the ground in 1912.'recently made
another survey oi this region. He
found that out of those who had
been found infected with trachoma
in 1912. as. per cent were known to
have been completely cured of the
disease and only so per cent still rr-c
insured in doubt. a.

$4,924.124 PAID
BY INSURANCE
C038 TO STATE
99 Per Cent Of This.
Went Into Generali
Funds, Says Nat.
Commerce Chamber.
Insurance companies doing bust.
ness in the State of Connecticut were
required to pay special state insur-
ance taxes for 1924 amounting to
34.924.124.05 in addition to normal
lax assessments. according to a bul-
letin issued in Washington by the
insurance department of. the Chain-
ber of Commerce of the United
States. Less than one per cent of
this sum. collected in the form 019
insurance licenses. special taxes and!
fees was used for the expenses or.
the state insurance department. and I
,the ronmiedcr went into the general
state funds.
As pointed out by the Chamber‘s
insurance Department. the levyingi
upeciel imposts upon insurance com-
panies is a direct burden upon policy
holders as the insurance companies
include the amount thus paid to the
states in the costs of insurance. The!
flititudo of tho Nailine’l Chamber io-
“‘iil‘d the question of special Mair:
insurance taxes is summed up as'
follows:
“Special state taxes now levied on
policyholders lhrough insurance
companies should not be considered
as re source of general revenue but
should bu l'r-iluced lo the total in
inch state which will adequately sup
port such state's dcpurtmcnlui suil
purvieiun. and u. unli'ol‘ln principle2
of taxing the holders of insurance
should be adopted throughout the
states."
The knoun amount of thcsu spe-
cial insurance taxes collected by tllei
various states in 192i amounted to
$6?,731.570.46. which was an in-
crease of $8,000,000 over the amount
collected in the preceding year, ac-l
cording to the bulletin. This sum,‘
it is pointed out. would pay an an-
nual premium tor more than four
million ordinary life insurance pol-
icies issued at the age of 25 for $1.-
000 each or would have bought fire
insurance covering for one your on
57.500.000.000 worth of property at
the average rate of 83 cents per
3100. '
It is the contention of the Cham- v.
bor's insurance department that
when policyholders are singled out
for special taxation. the amounts:
collected should be used for their
benefit. Actually this is not the case.
The amount expended by the states
(or xliaintonance of insurance dc-'
parlmcnis in 1924 was less than four I
per cent of all the money collected
in th storm of special taxes. in other
words. out of every dollar paid to
the states by policyholders, more
than 96 cents “as used for general
purposes. none of which was so
closely related to insurance as to
justiiy taxation of policyholders for
{or its support.
IN THE NORTH, TOO
An Alabama. newspaper tells of
services held in the city of Gadsden
to honor the memory of Robert E.
[.00 and Slouelvail Jackson.
Which item stirs this thought:
what a. pity that northdrn cities
ally to honor those two great leaders
of the southern Confederacy.
The time will soon come when
citizens in the north as well as in
the south \vill realize that Ameri-
cans. irrespective of section. can be
proud that their country has pro-
duced a Leo and a Jackson. They
are national heroes. not southern
heroes only.
OUT 01’ DATE
Cave-man methods. in courtship
are out of date.
A young woetorner learned this
when a Judge sentenced him to the
workhouse because he used the cave-
men’s tactice in a vain effort to get a
girl to change her "no" to "yes."
Sure. the cave-man’s methods are
out of date. Only we don't need a
Judge to tell us so. The average
athletic. unabashed American girl
would greet such tactics with a stiff
left to the law and a. im'lnr. "HOW

do you get that way.
