few exceptions the revenue agents
appointed in this state within recent
years have been members of the leg
islature and voted for the official by
whom they were in turn appointed.
In the present legislature there are
number of back tax attorneys.
Some of them were members OF the
legislature two years ago and voted
for Dibrell This is practice that
cannot be commended 1t is suhver'
sive OF good government. 1t savors
too much of bargain and intrigue.
Members of the legislature should
not under any circumstances, use
their power as law makers and as
electors for state officers, to procure
jobs for themselves or the imnedi'
ate members of their families. Ger
tainly the people of Tennessee have
a right to expect higher standards OF
government now that the Patterson
Dibrell machine has been routed.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

Every one is of course sorry that
Gen. D. E. Sickles, the hero of two
wars faces a Jail sentence. Thew re-
greet that a man who has served his
country with such valor and patriot
! ism should have done anything that
would bring discredit upon the uni.
form or stain to his honored name.
But efforts to make it appear that
Sickles is being prosecuted or that
he should be immune from the con-
sequences of his acts because OF his
valor in war, are not we'll founded.
Gen. Sickles should not be above the
lawd He should receive only that
consideration which justice and fair
play demands.
! 1t appears from the Iacts in this
case that Gen. Sicktes has aprro-
priated to his own use funds that
were turned over to him for the
erection of monuments to the heroes
from New York who fell at the battle
of Gettysburg. Gen. Sickles has ad-
mitted his guilt He has been given
an exceptionally long time in which
to make restitution. The amount of
the shortage is more than $4,000.
Under these circumstances it would
seem that sympathy for Gen. Sickles
is misdirected and that instead of
criticism for the officials of New
York who are attempting the co,lec
ton of this fund, rightfully the pro-
perty of the taxpayers, they should
be commended. There should be
one law for the rich and the poor,
the great and the lowly, the weak
and the strong.
Gen Sickles, had he had the Fro
per regard for his name and fame
and for the uniform of his country
which he wore with such conspcu-
Gus bravery would have hesitated
long before he would have commit
ted an act of dishonor. His stand
ard should have been an exceptional
ly high one. And instead of his
record as soldier being an excuse
for his crime, 1t should make it the
more reprehensible 1t is to be
hoped that the efforts to raise the
funds necessary to pay this short
age from the old Confederates Of the
South will be unsuccessful. They
are of course ever ready to help
comrade or a brave soldier on the
other side in time of affection or dis
tress, but this Is not a case that
calls for such aid.

BIG Dixie FOR
EVANSVILLE,
AMBITIOUS PLAN FOR DEEPEN
ING AND ENLARGlNG THE
HARBOR.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 5.--The
building of a concrete sea wall" ex-
ending from the waterworks plant
along the front of Sunset Park to the
foot of Main street and thence along
the front of the business district, re-
claiming from the river millions Of
dollars worth of new ground, is the
startling plan which is to forthwith
engage the attention of the Indiana
legislature and of the United States
government authorities. The plan
necesstates the sanction of the war
department to move the harbor line
out several hundred feet into the riy-
er, building this new harbor line and
filling the space between it and the
old embankment, largely by pumping
sand and dredging dirt from the 9TH
er side. This would bring the deep
est water in the river adjacent to the
wharves, giving to Evansville an un-
equalled deep water harbor. The
new ground created would be about
a city block in width extending for
over two miles along the river front.
Apart of it could be used for park
purposes, and the remainder for the
development of industries.

APPOINTING LEGISLATORS.

1t is to be hoped that members of
the legislature will not be appointed
clerks by head of departments.
This is a practice that has been very
much in vogue in the past, but il is
one that should be distinctly discour-
aged. The constitution wisely pro-
hibits the governor from appointing
members of the legislature to office.
Certainly the appointment of mem
bers by other executive heads of the
state government is a violation of
the spirit if not the letter of the or.
canic law
One Of the chief sources of power
of the sack tax machine in the past
has been the custom of appointing
legislators to ONCE as revenue agents
and back tax attorneys. With but

600 inhabitants. This would, for ex-
ample give Shelby county. with 1927
900 population, three senator's II
would give Davidson county, with
$50 900 people, two senators and fur
nish sufficient population for a third
of another district.
If the plans outlined were follow ed
out the present second district, which
was created solely as the personal
property of the unspeakable john /.
Cox, would be the first to go. This
district has only about $4,000 people
while the first and adjoining district
has population of more than 10000.
1t would deprive Gibson county
with only 10000 Leople of a sena-
tor. And the same plan applied In
the apportjonment of members OF
house would restore representatives
to Henderson, Lawrence, Jefferson
and several other counties which
were DISTINGUISHED under the old law
merely because of majority of their
citizens chose to vote the republican
ticket.
1t is gratifying to know that the
legislature will give attention to this
important matter. But the bill intro
duced by Senator Williams and 9TH
ers should be radically amended. 1t
is not an effort to make the appor-
tionment absolutely fair. For exam
pie, Maury, Giles and Marshall coun-
ties, with an aggregate population OF
about 10000, are placed in one dis
trict. But Gibson county, with only
Al 900 population, is given sena-
tor. This Is an injustice that should
not be tolerated Maury and Mar
shall counties together have approx
mately the population requisite tor a
senator. Or Maury and Lawrence
combined would make fair district.
Again the proposed act leaves sever
al of the West Tennessee counties
where there are the gravest wrongs,
practically undisturbed.
Every citizen should be equal be
fore the law. There should be equal
and exact representation in the halls
NJ Tho paperaI assemhly No district
should be organized for partisan po-
litical purposes. In drafting iegis-
lative district the law makers should
be absolutely blind to the political
beliefs and opinions of the inhabi-
tants of the several counties. Popu-
lation should be the sole and only
test. Let us have done with fraud
and chicenary and false dealing in the
making of our laws.

CoMPTRoLLER's CHIEF CLERK

I Rumors are current in Nashville
to the effect that George Woollen
the comptroller-elect of the state
will appoint w. D. Scruggs, former
private secretary to Gov. Patterson
as his chief clerk. We hope that
these rumors are without foundation
Mr.. Woollen would unquestionAbly
make a grave mistake were he 10 en-,
terrain the idea of making such an
appointment The effect of the ap-
pointment of Scruggs could not but
ALLEVIATE from Mr.. Woollen some OF
his strongest friends.
The Herald cares nothing about
Mr.. ocruggs personally. 1t has 10
sort of i'll feeling toward him, but it
does object to the appointment % the
former secretary and confidential ad-
wiser Of M. r. Patterson to one Of the
most responsible positions in the
government OF the state. Scrrggs
was the loyal and close adhereut- OF
Patterson all during the adm nlstra
ton of the latter. His devotion to
Patterson was rewarded by the gov
ernor when two years ago he made
a subservient senate elect him its
chief clerk. Scruggs was with Pat
terson during the time of the murder
of Carmacll and the pardon Of his
murderer. 1t is assumed that he
: approved these acts else he would
mot have remainded the confidential
adviser of the governor at that time
Under the circumstances his appoint
ment to a very lucrative and respon
sible position could not be other
wise than highly Objectionable, not
to say offensive TO the friends Of
good government.
/ Again it would hardly be in line
with the policy of Cleaning out the
capitol" to appoint as chief clerk IN
the Office where the back tax ma
chine has had it's headquarters ant
drawn its life's breath, one of the
chief dignitaries of the Paterson
liquor interest-back tax-plunder
bund There should be some regart
for the eternal fitness of things in
filling these places.

REDISTRlCTING THE STATE.

No man who desires common hon
esty in politics, who believes III the
equality of all before the law and fair
dealing in all things, can defend the
present apportionment of senator's
and representatives in Tennessee.
The act of 1901 dividing the state into
legislative districts was manifesIly a
partisan measure, patiently devised
for the purpose of DISTINGUISHING
thousands of people in legislative
representation merely because OF
their political opinions. Legislation
of that character is contrary to the
genius of our institutions and is real
ly serious menace to good govern
ment. The act of 1901 was direct
violation of the constitution OF the
state, and when sworn legislators
treat the organic law with contempt
we need not he surprised if the gen
eral run of humanity have scant re
gard for the enactments of such leg
islators.
There is but one way to divide the
state into legislative districts and
that is to take map of Tennessee
mark the population upon each coun
ty and then divide them into districts
so that each will have approximate
ly the same number of inhabitants
The population of this state by the
last census was $4,000. There are
thirty-three senator's This would
make $4,000 the unit of representa-
ton for a senator In other word:
the state should be so redistrictet
that every one Of the thirty.three dis
tricts would have approximately Sc,

THE COLUMBIA HERALD.
(From Nashville Banner.)

The Chattanooga Times continues
to allege that the Columbia Herald
marks time to the fife and drum in
the Nashville Banner Office" That
the Times singles The Herald out
from large number of other Ten
nessee papers of the same political
status for frequent attack, plainly in
icates that 1t feels the force of The
Herald's original strength.
The Banner would be fiattered to
regard so bright and able paper as
a disciple, but the truth Is there is
no more up-to-date and aggressive ed
itor in the United States than Jim
Finney He desn't wait for anybody
to express an opinion before he gives
his own, and is nobodys copy cat.
He is almost universally In advance
OF the Chattanooga Times. and often
even in advance of the Banner.
He has ideas and power of express
sion and doesn't need that anyone
else set the pace or furnish him a
pattern.
The Columbia Herald needs no
guide, but if the Chattanooga Times
had some sensible model for direction
there you'd necessarily be a great I'M
provement in it's editorial conduct.
1t really needs one.
