OFFICES Ct REVENUE /
AGENTS & ATTORNEYS
cNE OF THREE MEASURES sY-
NoPsIS OF WHICH ARE CIV
EN- OUT.
DRAFTED BY THOMAS R. PRESTON
Three Commissioners Provided for In
One Bill, With Terms of Two, Four
and Six Years-Outright Repeal of
Present Law.-Tax Rate Limited.

Present Law.-Tax Rate Limited.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov 10
T. r. Preston, chairman OF the tax
commission of the Tennessee State
Manufacturers Association, this af-
ternoon gave out a synopsis OF the
three bills to create new tax laws
which will be submitted to the legis-
lature, one for the repeal of the 1911
delinquent revenue act and the last
for the limiting of the rate of taxa
ton.
The first and probably the most
important of the bills, provides for
three commissioners to be elected by
the legislature at an annual salary ef
$4,000 each. The terms of these
commissioners will be under the
terms of the bill, two four and six
years for the first term and after
that each new member will be elect
ed to serve six years. These men are
intended to take the place Of the two
state equalization boards, one OF
which now reviews the railroad as
sessments and is composed OF the
governor, the secretary of state and
the comptroller and the other OF the
comptroller, the secretary of state
and the treasurer. The last named
now reviews all property, except GER
tain public service corporations, such
as railroads, telephone and telegraph
companies. This new board under
the bill is intended to take the place
of these two boards now in existence.
The assessments will be made as at
present, the board to review and
equalize.
The bill repeats outright the pro-
vision of the present law for revenue
agents and back tax attorneys. 1t
provides for the recovery of what has
been inadequately assessed or omit
ted, and if any attorneys are needed
the district and state attorney gener-
ais will perform legal service now
done by the back tax attorneys and
that without additional pay. Under
the jurisdiction of this new state tax
commission is an auditing depart
men, to audit the books of all ccunty
and state officials that collect and dis
burse revenues, just as bank examin-
ers perform their functions, without
previous notice.
The second bill repeats the 1911 de-
linquent revenue act and provides
for the delinquent funds to be col
lected by the county trustees.
There were 1,7OO suits filed ir Da-
wilson county with costs over $4,000
and from the records 1t takes from
500 to 700 per cent of the collection
of these little delinquent taxes.
The third act limits the rate Of tax
alton and while the definite amount
has not yet been agreed upon the ag-
gregate rate will probably be 50 in
cities and will not exceed $1.25 out
side of cities.

MADISON COUNTY
ELECTION MUODLE is
WITHOUT PRECEDENT
NO SUCH CONDITIONS EVER OBJ
TANNED IN STATE OF TEN
NEssEE BEFORE.
BALLOTS STOLEN, THIEF UNKNOWN
Election Commissioners Waiting Ad-
vice From Their Atorneys.--Muci
Speculation as TO What viii BE
Done About the Missing Returns.

JACKSON, Tenn, Nov. IT,
There were no new developments in
the investigation toay of the theft
of more than half of the Madison
county election returns. Pending
the outcome of the probe into the
ballot box looting, the election COM
mission has taken no action in the
muddle into which the commission
was thrown by the theft OF the re-
turns. What will the commission
do, or rather what course can the
commission legally pursue in the
matter? This is question that will
not be answered until the attorneys of
the commission have arrived at the
legal status of the situation, t. it
has any, and are in position tC ad-
wise further procedure according to
law.
The situation is very extra ctor-
binary one from every viewpoint,
and the result of the tangle is hard
to predict just at this time. The
opinion was freely expressed today
that the entire vote of Madison
county would be thrown out In the
end.
If this should be done, it would
raise question as to the seating of
NJ P. Taylor and A. S. Johnson
regular democrats, elected without
opposition, as representatives from
Madison county. Those who advanc-
ed this opinion held that the sequel
of this action would be the calling
of another election. But whether
another election could be legally
held or whether the result would be
counted in the various races after it
was held was poser for those ,ean-
ing to this opinion. One thing that
appears to be certain and generally
conceded to be true is that under
the law the election commissioners
cannot canvass the returns that were
left behind by the thieves.
In law there is now nothing before
the commissioners to canvass, II is
said. 1t is said that the law pro
vides that the missing precincts may
be supplied by proof, and this is ad-
vanced as one way of solving the
problem. But the question then
arises, who is going to the time and
expense of working up all Of this
proof? Also can proof be obtained
to supply the returns that are miss
which the correct figures can ne OBJ
tanned?
Really the next move would be to
secure proof to supply the missing
precincts, but the election commits
sioners can not do it. If any investi-
cations have already been started by
the authorities looking to the arrest
of the guilty parties, the facts have
not been made public. No clues
have been reported or rumored as to
the identity of the men who did the
stealing.

Thursday was another of the most

be more than doubled, as many are
just beginning to realize what they
are missing in not being present at
every one of these meetings.
Not only has there been a benefit
from the regular programs, but there
has been many questions asked i'll pri-

instruction work always readily an

The CHASING Of horses and mules
was another stock feature fro Friday
morning, Mr.. Jacobs again leading.
There is nothing that interests
Maury countian more than the intel

and Jersey cattle, and in all these dis
cussions Mr. Jacobs has not had his
judgment questioned by any Of the
experts who have heard him.
The closing of the course will rake

DISCUSSES AbROGAnON
Of TREATY OF 1882
Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs Gives Views of His
Government.
PETERSBURG.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 27.-The
minister for foreign affairs. M Saxon
OF, in the course Of q statement on
Russian foreign relations made in the
duma yesterday, referred to the abroga-
ton by the United States Of the Russian
American treaty OF 1882.
The minister said that President Taft
had made the abrogation in a form ac-
ceptable in international intercourse. The
assertions that Russia had violated the
treaty were not, however, he said, be-
lieved In serious circles In America.
II the United States should take steps
to negotiate Q new treaty Russia would
take into consideration all the wishes OF
Russian society. but, conscious OF the ma
tional honor and IN close union with all
classes Of the Russian people. the gov
eminent firmly intends. NJ. Sasonon add
cd. not to allow any interference with the
indispMtable sovereign right Of Russia to
define its internal legislation a. exclusive,
dependent upon its own needs.
The government hoped that the time
honored friendly relations would not be
darkened by the passing divergency Of
views and that Russia and the United
States would be able to cooperate where
their interests conceded.
