Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1873-05-31
From the Memphis Ledger.
A BunglIng Law.

The Assessment law is proving a
greater Perplexity to assessors and
the Comptroller than Chinese lab
arynth. Several letters of instruc-
ton have been sent out to the asses
sors, and still they are puzzled.
Some of the sections are direct
iy contradictory of each other, and
assessors cannot tell which to obey,
Unfortunately, this very important
law was reserved to the last days of
the session, and had to be rushed
through under whip and spur, while
there was still quorum. So many
bills had been introduced on the
subject of revenue, that the mind of
many legislators who were without
business or legislative experience
became confused. The law passed
is patchwork from two or three of
the bills; hence, its inconsistencies.
Take for instance section 46, which
enunlerates aVocations and business
transactions which shall be taxed as
privileges and not pursued without
a license. Several of these were
never taxed before, and no rate of
taxation on such privileges is fixed,
vet license must be taken out and
3 tax paid, says this remarkable law.
One section says merchants shall
make returns to assessors. Another
section requires them to report as
heretofore to County Court Clerks,
except where q Privilege Tax Col
lector is provided by law. The
Comptroller and Attorney General
decide that the latter section is to
be enforced. And so on, the more
the law is studied the deeper the
entanglemement in its voluminous
provisions. This is one of the two |
laws Gov. Brown urged the Legis- |
lature to pass in his special message |
Just before adjournment. 1t passed |
but the revenue bill, which was the |
same as tender to the assessment en-
CINE failed 10 get through for want !
of q quorum, although it passed five
and only wanted one more /
and the Governors signature to be-
come q law. The Comptroller in
his last explanatory letter remarks
that the law is a more certain guide
than the blank schedules which
were hastily prepared under his
and concludes as fol-
lows:
fThe IS sec. requires that the As
shall complete their assess
nents on or before the LIST Monday in

Medical Blunders.

From the period when surgeons applied
their salYes to weapons instead OF wound,
to the present widt-awakr age. the medical
profession has often unwittingly taken side
with Disease in it, conflicts With the hu

teachings Of centuries Of experience, some
physicians believe il depicting their pa

PoIi.Ics---A Long Time OFF.

Certain papers in Tennessee are
beginning already to agitate the
question of q successor to Gov. JnO.
C.. Brown-tO be elected in Novem-
Der 1914 year and half hence; and
two or three of them have indieat-
ed a preference for Hon. l.. e.
Haynes, of Memphis, as the demo-
cratic candidate for that position.
If we wanted to effeetually clay"
the ghost of any man who aspires
to Gubernatorial hOnOrs in the ia
ture, we do not think we could
more efTectually accomplish our OBJ
ject than by thrusting his imaginary
''claims" before the people at so I'M
seasonabIe a time as the present.
We shall not allow ourselves to be-
come much excited on the subject Of
State politics for at least twelve
month 10 come. 1t seems to be
pretty we'll conceded that if West
Tennessee acts prudently, and with
the good sense which characterize
the peopIe-but not the politicians
that this division of the State may
be able to command the field for
| Governor in 1874; but we submit
that the right way to obtain that
boon is not by an arrogant demand
that she SCilI hare the position for
this man or that. If you will, sug-
gest the names of suitable men, al
proper times, but do not assert the
purpose to force West TENNESSEE
man upon the people, and then at
tempt to force them 10 take u maj
who has no hold upon the great
mass of the people. We have great
many good men in West Tennessee
any one of whom, under proper cir
cumstances, we might be able t.
support and elect; but we are of thu
opinion that when the trees begin
to blossom in 1874, will be ample
time to begin the advocacy of theiI
pretensi0Rs-for none of them hav,
any claims.
