THEY RESOLVED.
The Proposed Revenue Bill Civ.
en- Heavy Blows.
Clarksville Business Men Meet at the
Court House and Give Vent to
Their Feelings.

There was large crowd of repre-
sentative business men at the court
house last night, called together to
protest against the proposed revenue
bill. 1t was no wild, boisterous
crowd, but body of intelligent, de-
liberate citizens. The meeting was
called to order by d. N. Kennedy,
who had been called to the chair by
unanimous vote. He briefly stated
the object Of the gathering, and was
glad to see SO many citizens present.
The representatives Of the press We're
made secretaries. Upon motion a
committee on resolutions was APP
pointed. The committee was com
posed Of M. V. Ingram, chairman :
F. p. Gracey, M. II. Clark, H.
w. Ritter, E. B. Ely. While the
committee was out preparing the res
olutions speeches were called for by
the chairman. He said that man
could speak on anything he chose,
even if it would be extension. Mr.
Merritt said that he would like to
hear something on the public build
ing question. He had not given the
matter serious thought, therefore he
was not prepared to even suggest the
most suitable place. b. f. McKeage,
Sr,, said he had thought the matter
over and had concluded that the cor
ner of Fifth and Franklin streets was
the place for the building.
Mr.. Kennedy thought the bill
would not be needed if this revenue
bill became law.
The committee returned at this
juncture and reported as follows:
Whereas, in our judgment, the
privilege taxes proposed in the bill
now under consideration by the Leg
isature will be oppressive and de
struCtive to the commercial interests
and to the manufacturing and gener
al industries of the State, large and
small, and will effectually stop all
development of such enterprises
The taxation proposed is unequal and
unjust, and the effect will be cur.
tailment rather than an increase of
revenue, as it will destroy very many
of the enterprises which it proposes
to Cypress. Notably in our city, I'M
der its provisions, the street cars, gas
works, electric light company and
the water company will be forced to
stop (Which would leave us without
water, light or transportation, as the
gross income Of these companies are
not as much as the tax proposed.
None of these now pay the stOckhol-
ders and were built for the public
good, which we suppose is the case
in small cities all over the State.
Therefore be it
Resolved by this mass meeting Of
the citizens of GAINESVILLE, that our
representatives are earnestly request
ed to do all in their power to defeat
said bill, and we pray the General
Assembly not to destroy the best in
terest of our city and State by the
of bill imposing such oner-
Gus taxes upon our people. We are
opposed to any increase of the pres
ent privilege tax, as it would destroy
our industries.

They Say it is Not the Farmers.

The prevailing impression is that
it is the farming element in the Tegis-
Iature who are behind that iniqui-
tous revenue bill. The gentlemen
returning from Nashville say not
that it is an organized clique OF
about Il dozen fellows who have
some spite at corporations that are
trying to do the mischief, but it is not
believed that the bill will pass in its
present shape, and that it is being
riddIed all the way through.

proposed revenue bill became a law
it would work untold misfortune tC
the industrial enterprises in Middle
Tennessee. Clarksvi' lie would suffer
in the event, and almost every en-
terprise, such AS street cars, gas
works, electric lights, iron furnaces,
would from necessity have to shut
down. Their annual income would
not pay the proposed privilege tax.
Capt. Gracey was followed by NJ.
V. Ingram, who spoke briefly
against the legislation proposed by
the joint finance committee. 1t was
dangerous and should be nipped in
the bud. 1t was simply a pointer,
showing what kind legislation might
be attempted and carried through by
the Legislature unless people should
put a stop to it. The bill would
hardly pass in its present form, but
it might pass in form that would
still be dangerous to industrial en-
terprises. He did not think that the
Alliance members were in favor OF
such legislation, He thought il was
a few cross road lawyers who wanted
cheap nOtoriety.
II. G. Merritt was the next speak
er. He discussed the bill at length
from the synopsis given in last even
iug's LEAF CHRONICLE, He thought
that if the bill should pass it would be
worse than any cyclone or bank fail

Coal, iron and railroad companies
would have to pay privilege tax of
$4,000. Five thousand dollars
could be levied by the State, county,

amount that would eat up every
dollar of income and force such
to close down. Gas
companies, street car companies, elec.
trio light companies, Touring mills |
and the like would have to cease CD
erations, simply because they could |
not pay the privilege tax and then
the property tax and live.

The are many good people in this country who, to all appearances, seem to think that all that is necessary in order to regulate the conduct of society is to get up controlling party in politics and legislate. Whatever the great question on which people are naturally divided in their views, social, mental or simply party and get the power of legislation. And so we have a prohibition party, which proposes to legislate intoxicating liquors out of the world; labor party, which proposes to legislate away all drudgery and make every man rich and happy, etc. As though majority of voters could, by any means, seriously affect the conditions of life, which are the causes of the evils that are to be cured. And as though nothing can be done in this country, without a party on purpose to do it. We do not make light of legislation, which is good in it's place; but law can do but comparatively little, at best, to change the conditions of life. If we would make men temperate, we must touch their hearts with motives to d better life, as we'll as restrain them by law. If the laboring man is to be lifted up, it will not be simply by less hours of work, nor by dividing his neighbor's property, but by new hopes and higher purposes in living. The men must be ehanged.-[O o. Wright.
