the property of Hardeman County
90 per cent, an honor we do not
claim. But we do claim that the
office of State Board of Equalizers
should not have been made, giving
that body the power to indiscrimi-
nately raise the value Of property
without any regard for those who
are paying tax on full value of their
property.
I have no word of complaint to
make against the gentlemen who
compose the State Board of Equal
izers. l believe they complied with
the letter Of the law as near as was
practicable. The fault, if any, was
not in the men, but in the law.
The one in Hardeman County upon
whom the responsibility rests of
creating the State Board of Equal
izers and the consequent increase of
taxes and other expense and trouble,
is J. r. Reaves, the editor of the
Hardeman Free Press. By refer
ring to Senate Journal, page 1904
and 1917, you will find the assess
ment law passed the third reading
and shows that Reaves voted for
it.
1t appears, in the light of above
evidence, that Mr.. Reaves should
have been the last man in the
county to complain of the increase
in the value of property; especial
ly find fault with any of his con-
stituents who were endeavoring to
carry, or have carried out, the pro-
visions of the law.
1t appears that the editor of the
Hardeman Free Press has an active
turn of mind and is disposed to be
handy in doing something for the
public. l would suggest that he
use his mind and paper to a good
purpose by ferreting out and ex-
posing the man who has received
tickets from the railroads and are
giving them to the delegates of
Hardeman County, that is, to those
who will accept of them. thereby
pledging themselves TO vote for
the man who has committed him.
self to vote as the railroads may
direct, and thwart the will of the
people. Expose the men who &C
cepted tickets and elevate politics
in Hardeman County to higher
plane. Credit and honor will not
only rebound to Hardeman County,
but to the State, himself and pos
terity. Then the people will rise
and call him blessed.

To The Public.

Through the kindness of friends
and a publication of DR.. W. J. Cox's
statement ''To The Public" in the
BOLIVAR BULLETIN, l learned that
the editor of the Hardeman Free
Press had found occasion to censure
DR.. Cox and myself for our answers
to questions propounded to US by
the State Board of Equal1zers in re-
gard to the work of the County
Board of Equalization. l deem it
my duty, as member of that board,
to make statement giving reasons
for our actions. The assessment
law of the State of Tennessee for
real estate and personal property re-
quires the County Board of Equal
izers or County Register to tabulate
all the property sold for cash at a
voluntary sale within twelve months
prior to the meeting of said board;
and said the law, the sale price of
these parcels of property may be
considered by the board as evidence
in computing the values of like pro-
perties in the same ward or district.
The board and County Register tab
ulated the property, giving date of
sale, terms of sale of each parcel or
lot and the board affixed the assessed
and equalized value of each lot or
parcel and sent it to the State Board
as is required in the assessment law.
have been reliably informed that
the State board gave out the state
ment that the assessed value of the
tabulated property equaled only a
fraction over 66 per cent. of sale
value. Several transfers have been
made in the Sixth Civil District of
Ii ardeman County since the County
Board adjourned, some Of which l
will give that no one may be misled
as to the truth of our answers to the
State Board, to-wit: W. III. Rey-
nold's farm, assessed at 50, 800 and
sold for So, 500; Mrs. Savage's store
house, assessed at $4,000 and sold
for $3.50; T. M. Patrick's resi-
dence, assessed at 5000 and sold for
1850; A. T. McNeal's property on
Main and wafer streets, assessed at
SO, 600 and sold for SO, go. The
assessed value of the above property
is only fraction over 60 per cent.
of sale value. 1t is evident that DR..
Cox and myself were Warranted, I'M
der the present assessment law, in
making our answers to the State
Board, for which the editor of the
Hardeman Free Press took occasion
to find fault.
