Mr. President and Members OF this
Convention: The Committee on Tax.
alton beg leave to submit the follow
| ing report. The scope of taxation be
ing so large and covering so much
ground we feel that we are falling
short OF doing it justice. but will Of
fer the following suggestions:
First, The assessors should be
elected for four years, and be elected
the year of general assessment
He should make the assessment or
real estate wholly alone even il 1t re.
quircs full year to do so. This
would give us an equal assessment
in the whole township, especially
would this result in good. in town
ships wherein are located cities All
assessors should follow and be gov
erned by their oath of office ane
should be prosecuted II they do not as
sess in accordance herewith. This
would not increase the property valu,
but would decrease the rate and would
| tend to correct the evil OF lodging
taxes which we are sorry to admit Is
being done.
We find money lenders are loan
ing money all over this state and are
doing so under the name of some ir.
responsible person with or withoue
the name of trustee attached. This
is done for the sole purpose OF lodging
taxes.
We would recommend that the legis.
1ature be requested to at once enact
such laws that will put stop to this
dishonest practice. This could be
done by requiring notes to be filed
for record with a stamping clerk anc
unless they are filed within speci.
fed time to make them void. When
note is sold or transferred II should
be restampcd, credited to the first
holder and charged to the next and
so on
Another evil confronts us In the
way the State Board Of Equalization
prolongs It's meetings. We recon.
mend the members of said board be
paid specified sum of money for
salary and expenses instead of per
diem.
Other evils confront US but these
are in our opinion the most important.

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.

Low Rates for Homeseekers and cOionists
Twice noath.
Many farmers in the Northern and
Eastern States are selling their high
priced lands and locating in the
Southwestern Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas. Many who have
been unable to own their homes in the
older country are buying land at the
prices prevailing in the new country
S5, $40, SIS, per acre and UP. These
lands are mostly cut-over timber lands,
some of them possessing a deep rich
soil producing corn, wheat, oats clover,
cotton fruits and and vegetables.
Well improved farms are scattered
throughout this country. Many places
with small clearings and some i'm
provementS can be boughtyery cheap.
Our descriptive literature gives fair
~ good idea of this country. 1t tells
about the soil, crops, climate, people.
schools and churches, water, health,
1t contains maps showing location OF
counties, towns, railways and streams
and gives names and addresses of real
estate dealers in the towns.
Reduced rates for homeseekers and

tee. Congressman Cowherd and
Col. Edwards have returned from
New York and are pushing things
again. A swarm, bevy or flock OF
girls are very busy sending of
cart loads of franked documents.
Another document due to come
from the printers this week is a
franked postal card, about twice
the average size, bearing upon its
back the colloquy that took place
place in the White House between
Congressman Dalzell and John
Sharp Williams, in which DalzelI
remarked with a good deal of en-
ergy that the only hoodlums in the
United States were the foreigners.
A round million Of these will be
sent out and Mr.. Cowherd says it
is "gravely suspected that they
will make stir.
It is not betraying any conf
dence to say that the National
Democratic headquarters at New
York are not in entire harmony
with the Congressional headquar-
ters here as to what ought to be
done, the Fifth Avenue magnates

Very encouraging reports are
coming to this Office from districts
all over the county respecting the
Legislative race. Three a nd
Twelve, which have been claimed
almost solidly by Mcdowell, reli-
able gentlemen tell us that they
believe will be carried by Fry. In
fact this sort of news comes from
nearly all the districts and it is re-
ported by conscientious, reliable
gentlemen from their respective
localities. The fact that twelve
Republicans were allowed to vote
in the Twelfth district convention
for Mcdowell is bearing fruit, and
there are reasons to believe that
these Democrats are not going to
be controlled by his method Of
procedure.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-09-23

Our committeeman, Lexie Parks,
makes the most practical and logi-
ical suggestion as solution to the
Legislative contest we have heard
yet, and it is simply this: There
being no contention over the action
of any of the civil district conven-
tions excepting Nos. 4 and 1S, that
a Democratic primary election be
held each in and IL, the defeated
candidate to Withdraw from the
race. There could not possibly be
any Objectionable features to this
proposition, and while we believe
as firmly as we believe in anything
on earth that a decided majority of
the delegates IN each Of these dis
trict conventions favored Fry, yet
good Democrat is always willing to
sake q reasonable sacrifice for the
nod Of the party, and this we are
% Fry would do. Mcdowell
~ not conscientiously ask for
Il Pong more. Certainly no
rat would favor the choos-
60 Democratic candidate in a
wor,d,s election or convention

10 are the only districts in
foIved in the dispute and why not
let the people Of these districts

Mcdowell wants a fair settlement
be could not do otherwise than &C
cent such a proposition as this. If
not, Of course his position would
be we'll understood. Another bal

Circuit Court has affirmed the
judgment of Mayor Walker in the
beerine cases against Abe Walker.
Judge Maiden understands thor,
oughly the significance of these
violations and has the courage to
dispose of them in accordance with
the purpose and intent Of law. 1t
has always been our contention
that the Adams law or any other
law is not worth a copper when
violators are allowed to go Scott
free by the courts. They are vir-
tually null and void and the condi-
tons existing with these surround
ings are worse than they would be
with no law at all. 1t is in effect
not only perversion, but denun-
citation Of the law and a criticism
upon those who are responsible for
its existence.
