THE ASSESSORS BILL.

The bills introduced in the legis.
lature to provide for compromising
the deputies of the tax assessor in
this county should be passed. That
the assessor does not receive suffi.
cient compensation, taking into con.
sideration the responsibility, duties
and vexations of his Office, can
hardly be denied. The Herald urg.
ed that the compensation be increas
ed at the time the one assessor act
was passed. That is good law and
should stand, but the assessor should
be sufficiently compensated. 1t Is no
easy task to assess the property of
10000 people in this great county.
At best the job Is thankless one.
The assessor Is damned II he does
and equally as severely condemned
If he don't. But 1t Is very import
ant post and the very greatest care
should be exercised in selecting the
official. And the office should be
made attractive enough to engage
the services Of the best talent. AS

PEANUT POLITICS.

Tennessee will never have an end
81 little mean sinking peanut politics
as long as there survives a respecta-
oily large vestfge Of the old disciedit-
ed Patterson machine. When the
senate on Monday rejected the nom
nation of Prof. G. w. Dyer for State
superintendent the State had another
exhibition of that narrow mean spirit

turing the past four years. Dyer
yas rejected because he would not

lie dared to call his soul his own and
although there is not within the con-
6nes of the State one better qualified
for the high Office to which he was
nominated, he was rejected for pure
ly petty political reasons.
Senators who voted against the
confirmation Of Dyer's nomination
proved that they had a very low con-
ception Of their offices and showed
themselves unworthy to represent the
best sentiment of the people of the
great State of Tennessee in that sug-
ust body. High minded patriots
would not punish the school children
of the State and cripple its educa-
tional institutions merely to crafty
personal or political longing for
revenge. No intelligent being can
or will deny that politics and roli-
tics alone did not defeat Dyer's con
irmation. No other objection has
been urged.
Prof Dyer is one Of the ablest edu-
Gators and one of the cleanest young
men in the public life of Tennessee.
He has character, conscience, cour-
age and ability. He would make a
Superintendent Of Schools Of whom
every educator In Tennessee would
be Justly proud. He would inspire
confidence and enthusiasm among
all of the educators of the State.
And it IL unjust to the great educa-
tional interests Of Tennessee that
they should be deprived Of his emin-
ent services merely because he has
not been atool of the Patterson gang.
It Is a sad commentary upon the
civilization Of the State when the
Senate rejects for Superintendent of
Schools one whose only ofSenss has

JUDGE MecALL's RULING.

BY denying confessed law break
ers the privilege Of American citi-
zenship Judge Mccall, of the United
States District Court Of West Tenn
essee has set an example that is
worthy Of the highest praise. The
eminent jurist takes the very correct
view that this government should
not extend the right Of franchise to
those residents who have no more
respect for the laws Of their State
than the liquor dealer who openly
runs his business in direct violation
of the statutes. It IL q crime to sell
liquor in Tennessee and the indivi-
dual who viii wantonly and wilfully
and deliberately violate this law for
purely mercenary purposes is not
worthy Of citizenship. He b at heart

an anarchist. And no one would for
a moment expect Judge of the I'm
tied States courts to grant citizen
ship to a confessed foreign anarch-
lists. No matter what one may think
of the propriety or justice Of laws
prohibiting the sale of liquor all
right thinking individuals must agree
that Judge McCall's view Is the cor
rect one And a few more jurists
with the courage and ability of Judge
Mccall would be a powerful force
for creating sentiment that would
not tolerate violations of any law.

real brave men who tote pistols. They
scorn to become violators of the law
merely that they may have the drop
on some real or fancied enemy.
We are not going to reduce our de-
plorable homicide record in this
country until we enforce the laws
against the packing of guns. Oul
murder record is the most serious
blot upon our civilization and i, is
a situation that calls for the most SER
ious thought upon the part of our
most patriotic individuals. The
press and the pulpit and other or

creation Of public sentiment should
thunder against the pistol habit.

THE PISTOL AGAIN.

Hardly a day passes that the news
papers do not chronicle the deadly
work of the pocket pistol in Ternes-
see. A few days ago a fourteen year
old school boy at Johnson City tried
to settle real or fancied grievance
with his teacher by using pistol.
The result is that the teacher Is dan
gerously wounded and the whole COM
munity is deeply grieved over the in
cident The pistol packing habit is
directly responsible for this near trag-
edy. And one can hardly blame the
boy too much. All around him he
sees the example Of his elders toting
guns upon all occasions. His whole
idea of settling personal difficulty
was by the use of gun. That is too
much the American idea. And II is
inculcated largely through the fail
ure to enforce the pistol packing
laws.
There would not be half the homi-
dies that there are in this country
II there were a healthier sentin. ent
against pistol toting. There Is moth
Ing manly about going around with 9
hip pocket arsenal. The late Judge
Wilkes was about right when he sug-
gested that hip pockets should be
abolished by law. They are the abid-
Ing place for the deadly gun that
towards are constantly packing
around. Too often the pistol packer
has murder in his heart. He Is too
much Of q coward to settle his differ
ences with his fellow man in the
open, man 10 man and by the use Of

MoRGAN's APPOINTMENT.

BY rendering the Office of commits
sioner of agriculture to Prof. H. A.
Morgan, who is in no sense politi-
clan. but whose only claim upon the
Office Is his pre-eminent fitness for
1t, Gov. Hooper has shown the very
highest conception of his Office. 1t
is a noteworthy event in the history
of Tennessee. Seldom in the annals
of this State has any Governor
thrown political considerations to
the winds in naming the occupant of
what Is in many respects the most
desirable office within his gift. In
rendering the place to Prof. Morgan,
whose politics he does not even
know the Governor took high ground.
His example is worthy of emulation.
He has proven by his acts that he
really believes that public Office is
public trust
Too often, in fact 1t has been the
rule. our Governors have made their
principal appointments with an eye
single to the effect that they would
have upon the future political for
tunes of the chief executive. But In
this case the Governor gave no con-
sideration whatever to this phase OF
the matter. Every intelligent farm
err in Tennessee will agree that H. A.
Morgan stands at the head of the
list of those qualified by training, by
experience, by ability and by char
acter, for an efficient discharge of
the duties of commissioner of agri-
culture. He has the fullest conf
dence of the farmers of the State He
would administer the Office wholly In
their interest. He has no political
ambition and no selfish interests to
serve. His only purpose in the ad-
ministration of the office would be
to serve the great agricultural inter-
ests of Tennessee.
1t Is therefore deeply to be regret
ted that Mr.. Morgan was impelled to
decline the office. The salary should
be raised to a point where the ofice
would command the services of the
ablest and best qualified men in the
State. The farmers pay the great
bulk Of the taxes Of Tennessee; they
are its source Of greatest wealth and
their interests should receive first

LEGISLATIVE coUTEsY.

II the present Legislature will give
Legislative courtesy" a black eye
it will earn the everlasting gratitude
of the people of Tennessee. The
idea that members must sit with
their eyes closed and vote for any
measure regardless of it's constitu-
tionality, it's merits or its necessity
merely because the representative
from the particular constituency most
affected by the measure desire its
passage is contrary to right conCep-
ton of the duties and responsible
ties of member of the General AS
sembly of Tennessee. Such view
is contrary to the very oath that
members of the Legislature are re-
quired to take when they enter upon
the discharge of their duties. 1t Is
certainly a most deplorable ccndi-
ton of affairs when members of the
Legislature vote for wicked and
vicious legislation devised wholly for
selfish and tyranical personal ends
merely because some particular mem
Der or members advocate its passage.
1t is a situation that is inimical to
good government and wholly subver-
sive of Democratic institutions. A
representative should act for all the
people of the State. He is not merely
the representative of those who voted
for him but all the people of Tonnes
see. Her interests should be the
highest interests that he serves.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1911-02-17

Legislative courtesy should not
permit the ubiquitous Nashville char
acter bill to be foisted upon the peo-
pie of that helpless city, although
they deserve most anything that
comes their way for having elected
the legislative delegation they
did. It lie a dangerous thing and the
people usually suffer for 1t whenever
they elect q ticket that is wholly the
creature Of and entirely subsery lent
to q political boss. Hilary Howse
dominated the convention that nom
mated the legislative ticket IN David
son county and naturally the delega-
ton Is not going to be hostile to any
legislation that win advance the poll
teal interests Of the Mayer.

THE FEE SYSTEM.

Gov. Hooper is right In his criticism
of the fee system for compromising
officials. The fee system is indefen
sible. It has long ago been discredit.
ed and there are but few States that
now compensate their officials by
that method. The system makes the
temptation for the officials to foment
strife and litigation and frivolous
prosecutions too great Every off,
cial should be adequately compen-
stated but they should receive a stat
cd salary regardless Of the activity
in securing business. The public In
terests would be advanced by the
abolition of the fee system and it 10
probable that the officials, taking
them an q whole, would be AZ well
compensated as they are under the
present antiquated and discredited
plan. The bill proposed by Senator
Turner may not be perfect but It 10
q step in the right direction and the
salaries therein allowed appear to
be reasonable and adequate although
the classification of the counties Is
not altogether fair and just These
are defects that can be readily rem
edied by appropriate amendments.
The proposition to- place all county
officials on salary basis Is sound
one and Is bound to come sooner or
later. There is no more justifca-
ton for the fee system for county
officials than there is for paying the
State officials In that manner and 1t
has been nearly twenty years since
the State placed its officials on a
salary.

CLEARING INCONSISTENCY.

One would have hardly expected
the insurgent Republicans in Con4
sress, who have inveighed 80 elo.
luently against high protective pol
Icy, to oppose the Canadian treaty
Secause 1t denies protection to their
constituents. And yet this Is the in
consistent and remarkable attitude Of
he so-ocalled insurgents. They are
violently opposed to protection for
the benefit of the other fellows con-
stituents but when it comes to their
,wn folks they sing different song.
It is a crime and highway robbery to
tax the people for the benefit of tariff
protected industries of the East and
North but he Is a patriot of the truest
ray serene who stands for protection
II the farmers of the Northwest are
threatened. No man ever said a
truer thing than did Gen. Hancock
when he declared that the tariff was
a local issue. The truth of that state
men has been demonstrated every
time there has been a suggestion of
tariff tinkering.
There are Democrats in Tennessee
who have for forty years voted the
ticket and shouted for tariff for rev.
enue and believed with all the ardour
of their beings that protection was
unconstitutional and altogether iniqui-
tous who now stand with hands in
holy horror at the suggestion of rec
iprocity with Canada which promises
a reduction of duty on agricultural
products imported into this country.
The Herald does not believe the the
proposed treaty will be inimical to
the agricultural interests of the coun-
try, but it ceretainly is not going to
reverse it's position of life time
merely because the medicine which it
others for more than a generation is
not altogether palatable to its own
stomach. To our way Of thinking it
Is not the item or the product pro-
tected that makes a protective system
Ubiquitous but it is protection itself.
The Herald believes with Thomas JEFF
ferson that there should be free COM
merce between all nations. And
whatever tends to that end has it's
This journal predicted some time
ago that there would be trouble for
those statesmen from the agricultural
sections of the great Northwest who
have inveighed so loudly against the
high price of living and who in the
last campaign promised reduction
In the event Of their reelection. This
paper never could see how the cost Of
the necessaries of life could be reduc-
cd without reducing the price receiv-
ed by the producers. Whenever farm
products bring an abnormal price the
consumer must pay it. And we sus-
gested then, what has proven to be
the case, that there would be howl
raised by these same patriots when
the interest of their particular con-
stituency seemed to be threatened by
price reduction. And such are the in
of politics.
