Governor McMilIin.

Ex-Governor Benton McMillin was,
according to all approved authority
one of the best Governors Tennessee
ever had. His record in Congress is
also an open book of the best service
given by the representatives from the
South. Through the completely OF
political conditions he was defeated for
the United States Senate last year. 1t
was through no fault of his. He refused
to be the instrument of any political
faction, and off went his head. Now it
is that one Mr.. Preston comes out and
undertakes to dispose of long record
of usefulness with few ingenious re-
marks. Governor McMillin has offered
to accommodate him to a joint discus
sion, where these things may be thor
oughly aired, but Mr.. Preston is quar-
ter horse. Mr.. Preston says that Gov
ernor McMillin should have funded the
State debt and issued three per cent.
bonds. They will cost four now. OF
course, it is a pity that Mr.. Preston
was not Governor then. He would
have heen more thoughtful.
He always knows the highest and
lowest points of the market. Eagle
Eye; Massive Brain,
Mr.. Preston wants to abolish the per-
sonal property tax. Mr., Preston is a
banker. If man sells tract of land
and executes his notes for deferred pay
ments, the man who holds the notes
should not pay his burden of the
taxes. Mr.. Preston would have us be-
lieve that his notes are not assets.
Double taxation is a specious argument.
The farmer must die and pay taxes.
The banker must die, but he must be
exempt from taxation. That is, we
should not interfere with the bankers
land notes.
Mr.. Preston has been launched into
the State cockboat with high-brow
ovation. Now everybody, altogether
with a whoop Sis, boom rah rah !
We do not blame Preston for not
taking his medicine. 1t would not take
McMillin long to give it to him.

Our Telephone System.

Mr.. Pickard, a representative OF the
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph
Company, met with the board OF the
Business Mems Club last Friday night.
The object of the meeting was to confer
with reference to the use of the central
energy, or the flashlight, system in
Union City, the same system now in use
in all the larger cities. The idea was
that Union City had enough telephone
business to induce the change. Mr..
Pickard, speaking for the company,
said that he was prepared to make a
proposition to the effect that the COM
pany would install the new system here,
provided the subscribers would agree to
an increase of rates, So cents on private
instruments and IS cents on business
sets, desk sets the same. Mr.. Dahnke
and several others sought to bring out
all the light on the subject possible
Mr.. Pickard stated that it would cost
the company q considerable sum to in
stall the new system, and an increase in
current expenses for maintenance. A
number of our citizens thought that we
should not be charged up with the cost
of the change, but that our subscribers
would be willing possibly to stand the
cost of increased maintenance, say 81. IS
for private phones and So for business
phones. The public will understand
that this system is the one from which
all the electric energy comes from the
central office, and when the ear phone
is raised the operator is called without
the preliminary ringing of the bells. 1t
therefore occurs to the uninitiated that
the cost of operation of the new system
would be less, for the reason that there
would be saving of private batteries
and repairs all over the city. Mr.
Pickard insists, however, that the line
men would have more work to do.
The truth of the matter is that every
business man and every business or
ganizatron is defending his own in
terests. Nearly every one of us wants
our share and we are apt to want that
share little large. The planter wants
more land and smaller expense &C
count. The merchant wants his profit.
The lawyer is not apt to suffer remorse
over the receipt of liberal fee. The
mechanic wants shorter hours and a
larger per diem. They are all doing it
now.
Whether the public knows enough
about telephones to figure on the increase
in the cost of the central energy over the
magnetic systems is a matter of con-
siderable doubt. But it looks to man
up the tree that it would not be equal
to the difference in increase in rate;
suggested. Everybody will easily agree
that subscribers should not be charged
for the initial investment of the change
Might as well say that the subscribers
should own all the stock of the company
and pay for the use of the franchise a
the rates Of 50 and $3.50 per month
Very likely this argument IS offeret
simply to get the matter before thos'
interested. Another meeting IS to b
held and the matter viii be threshes

Hume. the General manager Of thl

DIR. White, of the Tennessee Meat
Inspection Department, was very inter
esting in his address last Thursday
night, informing the people of Union
City and Obion County about the ma
ture of diseased meats and the require
ments Of inspection, but he was a lit
tie careless in his remark about local
slaughter houses, stating that one would
not have to go far from Union City to
find an unsanitary slaughter house such
as one Of the filthy ones shown in his
slides. This was, not Intentionally, of
course, reflection upon our fellow
townsman, w. G. Reynolds, and his
model abattoir
DR.. White is serving the people of
the State in one of the most important
branches of government, and while he
is equipped with the qualifications re-
quired for preparation upon the sub
ject, he has neglected the important
feature of local advantages and i'm
provements in his line, or at least he
mentioned the existence of no sanitary
slaughter house in the State except the
abattoir at Nashville As we say, it
was not at all probable that he did it
Intentionally, but it is nevertheless in
excusable. There is no doubt that
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis,
Jackson and other cities have sanitary
slaughter houses and meat inspection,
conducted by registered inspector.
He should also learn that Union City
has just such an institution. W. G..
Reynolds conducted here one of the old
style slaughter houses for years, and to
tell the fact he did not discontinue the
use Of such place until protest was
made But it must be said to Mr.. Rey-
nold's credit that he was not long in
taking a hint, and accordingly he got
