ANONYMOUS circulars are being
scattered over the State in which it
is stated that one object Of the con-
ton is to defeat the exemption law;
anotherdecrie the costof a conven-
vention; still another says that no
man will be allowed to vote unless
he has $1,000 worth Of land, and
that the governor would be empow-
cred to appoint every officer from
school director up, and so on-yet
these unknown writers know that
no honest man has ever>advocated
these things. 1t is all for the pur-
pose of frightening the ignorant.

UNDER our present organic Law

UNDER our present organic law,
some of our citizens are doubly
taxed. The Tennessee merchant
pays a privilege tax. Of course he
adds it to the cost of his goods, and
it comes at last out of the pockets
of the consumer. This also hurts
the wholesale dealer, because his
competition is with parties outside
the State, and therefore he can not
consider the privilege tax he pays
butsimply sustains the loss. But
theretailer can make the consumer
pay it.

WITH a Constitution under which
proper laws could be passed, Ten
nessee can save from ST, 100000 to
$l,500,000 each year. Our crimi-
nal prosecutions alone cost us from
$1,0O0,000 to 81, 100000 per annum.
In Georgia this cost is about $l0,-
600. Our judicial system cost us
about double what it ought to cost,
the number of judges and clerks
being about as many as both North
Carolina and Georgia together, and
yet each of these States is about
equal to Tennessee in wealth and
population.
