THE DEMANDS OF THE
STATE.
10 the Members OF the Legislature
Now in Session.

NOW IN session.
Permit an old man, who has numbered
his three score and seventeen years, TO ad-
dress Won. You have assembled not to
legislate for Dly party, but for the people OF
the State of Tennessee. And, from my
long acquaintance with many OF you, l
have confidence III you, and believe that
YOU are men who will lift yourselves above
the low tone of political morals which has
brought the State to the verge OF bank
ruptcV And if it be true that nations reap
as they SOW, our citizens have been reapIng
Il sad harvest, sown by somebody; and 1t
is for you to say, III part, how long yet we
shall continue To dig our own sepulchres.
| There is work to be done. The dlsiran-
chisement of taxpayers can no longer be
tolerated people who would preserve
| their liberties must be true to the great
principles of truth, right and justice. Then
be not deceived; the people who elected
| you are expecting you to relleve them OF
the effect Of class legislation and oppressive
| taxation. The current expenses OF the State
| should be cut down at least 1000, 600.
| The writer of this article had something to
| do III making a settlement with the State
| Treasurer. Thomas Caruthers, in the year
| 1927, and he well recollects that it only re-
| quired some $50, 900 per year to carry on
| the government of the State of Tennes-
see then. At that time, too, the Judges
| presiding in our courts OF Justice were
| qualified, industrious men, who, although
their districts were large and encountered
with much litigation, kept their dockets
cleared, administering justice to the rich
and the poor. But now, with salaries
doubled and districts much smaller, cases
hang upon the docket for years Who is
in fault? Is it the fault of the law creating
the courts? If it is, change it; but if the
court is to blame, you must require the
| Judges to do more work.
an relation to the finances of the State,
,he people who have elected you feel con-
| fident that much can be done to relieve
them by honest legislation. Let your
works show that the time has come, when
fraud in public life ought to be punished.
Honesty in stateman is just as necessary
as honesty in the farmer, mechanic or
merchant. Then, as honest, public ser
wants, go to work and hasten the passage
of such laws as will work out thorough
reform in all the public expenditures. The
State can be saved from reputation with
out increasing the taxes.
In relation to the calling OF convention,
Iwould say, as a member OF the conven-
ton in 1884, that it is a grave question
that ought to be decided with great eau.

DEBATING CLUBS. - Almost every
precinct in this county has organized de-
batting clubs which will be kept up dur
ing the long evenings of Winter. These
clubs are attended by the ladies as well
as the men, We have always regarded
these debating societies as being second
in Importance to the common school. In
the club room Young America takes his
first lessons in self-government and par
liamentary laws, and from there he goes
out prepared to give expression to his
views on any subject agitating the pub
lie. These country disputations make
him better citizen, for he is taught to
treat his opponent with respect, and the
desire to remove the distractions to his
will by physical force is subdued. BY
all means let the American system of de-
batting clubs be cherished, and establish
ed in every community.
