COL. HUGHES TAXES
CLARK'S BREATH
STORY OF MAURY coUNTy,s FA-
NOUS MULE MARKET GRE.
ATEs COMMENT.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27-CoI
Arch M. Hughes, whose imaginative
faculty never is so expansive or trop-
zeal as when he descants upon the
glories of Maury county, Tennessee.
Is sponsor for mule story which
surpasses any of the Colonel's former
achievements in astounding fiction.
IN recent printed statement Col.
Hughes made this reference to Maui
ry county as producer of mules:
The farmers of Maury county
have devoted parge part of their
energies to the raising of mules, and
on the first Monday of every month
Columbia Is the scene of a mule mar
ket the most unique in this country.
On January l, of last year, 100000
head of mules were sold in Columbia.
at an average price of $500 head.
This is an enormous figure, but it is
true, nevertheless"
When Speaker Champ Clark and
Senator Stone read the foregoing
they simply gasped for breath, for
no mule story sounds good to their
ears that is not bottomed in Missouri.
which state some time ago agreed to
furnish the war department a mount
for every man in the cavalry service
Alex Morgan, a former Tennessean,
now employed as a statistician in a
railway Office here, proves Col.
Hughes title to the ribbon for having
given currency to the worlds great
cts mule story with these interesting
and Illuminating figures. The mules
that were sold in Columbia on that
famous mule market day brought $40
100000, and placing twenty head in a
car, 10000 cars would have been nec-
essary for their transportation. Coup
led together in one train, these cars
would have strung out over eighty
miles of track, or, had the cars been
divided into the regulation freight
train length, there would have been
400 trains. Driven through the coun-
try as mules are usually bunchedr
they would have formed line 400
miles long, and it would have taken
ten days for the 100000 to pass a
given point.
No wonder Speaker Clark and Sem
ator Stone gasped when they read
Col Hughes story of single mule
market day in Columbia. Col.
Hughes assures his doubling ques-
TONERS that Maury county is distin-
guished for other thing besides
mules, but up to the present time no
one had the temerity to ask him what
they are.

THE RULING OF SECRETARY

NASHVILLE, Sept. 30.-Foreign in

against the resent ruling of Score
/ tary Of State r. r. Sneed requirine
all such companies authorized to dc
bushes in this state in the future
. to pay to the state filing tax based
on the companies authorized capital
stock, instead of the companies New
!. York deposits, as has heretofore
ben the custom.
In all twenty-six fire companies
will be effected by the new ruling
\ and two casualty companies. While
the amount involved is not sufficient
to warrant the consideration by any
company Withdrawing from Tennes.
see, several have prepared state
ments of their objection to the ruling
which will be submitted to Attorney
fee on the tax schedule is $3.50, based
on a capital stock of $1,000,000, while
heretofore, basing the fees on the
New York deposit, no company has
been required to pay more than $50
tax
Secretary Sneed has also gotten
into controversy with the New Jer-
sey Fire Insurance company, rela-
tive to his demand for taxes from
the company on the 100000 increase
in the capital stock made In 1912.
When the New Jersey Fire Insur-
ance Company was licensed in Ten
nessee, several years ago, its capital
stock was 100000, and taxes were
paid on that amount But an amend
ment to the charter in 1912 increas-
ed the capital stock to 81 100000 and
Secretary Sneed contends that his Of
fee is entitled to the taxes on the
difference in the capital stock. The
| New Jersey Fire has taken the posi-
ton that neither corporation or in
surance laws of Tennessee provide
for the pyment of taxes on the differ
ence in capital stock, and has resist
ed the departments endeavors to Sc
cure a payment.
While the case is without prece-
dent with respect to an insurance
company, the secretary of state as
serts that there has been nodifficulty
experienced by his department in
collecting similar taxes from corpor-
atoms other than insurance compa-
MES and considers his contention
Just. This matter also will be sub
mitted to Attorney General Thomp-
son nd his opinion will be awaited
with considerable interest.
