Scathingly arraigning the back ia

of the Tennessee Tax Commission

beg to report that Comptroller Dib-
rell has given us statement of what
his records show, and we have also
astertained what shown by the rec
ords Of Grundy county. The FACTS
as we find them are as follows:
In the summer of 1906 this GONNA
ny was threatened with suit for hack
taxes for the years 1903, 1904, 1905
and 1906, amounting to a little more
than one million dollars. This sum
was arrived at by taking the selling
price OF their stock and bonds and
flom this deducting their assessment
In Alabama, Tennessee and else
where, and suing for taxes on the
balance, predicating their threatened
suit on the fact that it was Tonnes

The above figures show that the

the court after the larger sum

} not show whether or not this is
ue.
We find further, that for period =
over thirty years this company j
IS been almost constantly harassed
the revenue agents and taxing au-
critics. As late as January, 1912,
icy were back assessed on their
nds in Tennessee, which was quite

We find further that this company

Protection" is in reality only the
old feudal system under another
name, dressed out in new togs to
suit the fashion of the times. The
basic idea is identical with that of
feudalism and when republican pa
pers and stump speakers flourish the
empty dinner pail. they are only re.
hashing the argument that has done
the English land monopolists service
for the last three hundred years. It
is the same old plea that when the
lord of the manor has money the
workers will enjoy good times. and
there is nothing else to it. 1t Is an
extraordinary fact, but nevertheless
true, that the English landowners
have not only kept their own people
comparatively contented with that
sort of talk, but they have made 1t
gospel wherever the British flag has
been planted, and have impregnated
the New World with the same pre-
posterous delusion. The United
States has taken it's thought, as it
took the common law with which
rules it, from England and it is real
ly not to be wondered at that the self
same arguments which have prevailed
in England should also meet with
favor and be believed here, that when
the manor house hourishes, the ten
antry does wen. It is the same old
cry; prosperity has to begin at the
top and trickie down, and yet is
utterly absurd when looked at from
a rational viewpoint. Healthful grow.
tn of any sort must and always does
have it's beginning in the roots and
not in the branches and there can
be no real prosperity that does not
start with producers.

Witness Found After Long Search

Washington, Jan. 3O.--William A.

isature at the time Senator Lorimer
was elected, will be called as a wit
ness before the senate investigating
committee today at the close of Mr..

said the committee process servers
had long search to reach Mr.. Kan.
ally with a subpoena.
When the hearing was resumed to.
day Senator Lorimer continued under
cross.examination by Attorney Marble
for the committee. The questioning
related to Mr. Lorimer's version of
political conditions in Illinois in 1908
and 1909, which he claims made him
the only republican candidate com,
handing enough democratic votes to
be elected.
After Mr.. Lorimer and kanally have
finished, testimony in rebuttal will be
introduced by the committee. w. j
Burns, the detective who claims to
have evidence affecting the veracity
of witness, may also testify.

MURDER MEN, STEAL WOMEN.
Nightly Assassinations Being Carried
on in Mukden.

Pekin, jan 30.-The brigands of
Mukden are Systematically raiding the
homes of prominent men suspected Of
being in sympathy with the revolu-
tionary party, assassinating them and
carrying off their wives and daugh-
tiers. according to letter from a mis-
sionary in that city received here to-
day. Consular reports confirm the ac-
counts of series of murders nightly.
The letter from the missionary con-
tinues:
whole armies of mounted robbers
are holding up and plundering travel
ers along the roads leading into Har-
bin. These brigands hold the rich for
ransom, which has to be paid either
in guns, ammunition or in money.
They torture and kill their victims If
the ransom Is not forthcoming. The
law abiding Chinese Of the vicinity
are praying for the intervention Of the
Japanese in south Manchuria and Of
the Russians in the north"
Gen. Chao Erh Feng, the viceroy Of
the province of SEE Chuan, who was
decapitated by the revolutionists at
Cheng Tu in December, was the broth
er of Gen. Chao Erh Hsun, the vice
roy of Manchuria.
The latter is determined not to
share his brothers fate and perhaps
is also eXacting vengeance for his
brothers life. Gen. Chao Erh Hsun is
the only vigorous opponent Of the re.
publicanism among the remaining
viCeroys. He has adopted the method
of employing hundreds Of brigands as
a police force and is legalizing the as
sassinations and other crimes commit.
