had better get out of the way, for the
merchants of the town would get such
a trade and every business enterprise
in the city would increase SO you would
be in danger OF getting run over This
public labor would lift the town out OF
its already growing position and give
US city in few years twice its present
size. Hurrahl Show me a citizen in
Union City who would not be willing
for business hustle OF this kind and

Now, when you go to soliciting funds
from 81, say to $100-any amount
then you would be representing pro-
position that would be in reach OF the
poorest man in town, and when the
citizenship were shown, this would be a
home enterprise, run by the stock COM
pany and managed by our own home
people, men we know personally and
have confidence in, then it would be
no trouble to raise a great amount Of
money, knowing that the lahoring class
would have employment and everybody
benefited, and the city would be the
recipient of the outcome in doubling
its population and enhancing the prop
erty Of every vacant lot, residence and
business house already in its borders.
Now, when it comes to raising funds
in large amounts to start business en-
terprise, there is a great problem in
your way, and only just man now
and then in the city could or would
take stock in same-hence the tardi-
ness of public works in our midst.

Of blowing our money for soft soap and

A Business Proposition.

/ am no politician, not the tool of
any party or man, and am not even
quill-driver, but thought perhaps ]
might say something that would be
readable to the many takers Of The
Commercial as well as beneficial to the
citizens of the best town in this section.
Many things have come and gone in
the past twenty years Union City hav-
ing almost obtained its entirety inside
Of the twenty years. Even red liquor
has almost absconded from our pres
ence, so much SO that it is impossible
for any man to accomplish any private
desire, purpose, or succeed in any pub
lie business that aligns himself in any
degree for the liquor cause. The peo-
pie are becoming so unanimous on this
question that the time is coming in the
near distance until the bootlegger cam
leg, because there will not be any whis-
key in the United States to leg his me-
iarious business on.
BY the way, in our journey in and
around Union City the past 80 or SS
years, we have had many observations
and ideas to enter our mind. OF course,
we are all just human, and nothing but
human plans and conditions can be ex-
pected OF us, but even considering this
to be fact, the ingenuity Of man is
something great when we come to grasp
the wonderful inventions and feats ac-
complished. But letting this matter
rest in your mind where it will, and
coming back to Union City, we were
thinking recently what might be ac-I
complished by the Business Mems Club
along different line from any attempt
heretofore made.
Now, you know it's good idea to
catch the large fish when fishing II you
can, but it takes greater effort, more
money, larger pole or line TO catch
large fish than it does small ones.
The Business Mems Club is COM
posed OF some OF our best and most
loyal citizens, and this being fact,
probably they have been fishing too
much for large fish, when if they had
given the minnows or perch some OF
their attention there would have been
some fish frying in Union City that we
have not realized, Labor is the life OF
the commercial world, and public labor
in town is one OF the essentials that
will lift town out of the dry and rusty
ruts into a business hustle and activity.
Suppose we appoint the Business
Mems Club to 60 out among the peo-
pie OF our city and the surrounding
country and solicit stock, say from
81. 90 to as much as any one wanted to
take, and when we have raised enough
to start some public works Of some kind
in our city, put same in an incorporated
company with board of directors and
business manager and secretary. Now,
when we have done this we could go
out again and do likewise and start an
other business proposition. The first
thing you would know Union City
would have two or three manufactur-
ing concerns that would be employing
four or five hundred men and women,
and when this becomes the case you

TRYING To REDUCE TAXES
Mr.. TrammeIl Thinks the State Can
be Rum on Five and a Half o.
Mills l

Tallahassee, Aug. 21.-For some
weeks Governor Park TrammeI has
been gathering information that he
may determine what reduction il
any he could make in the state tax
millage for the 1914 assessment.
About the first of August ne was
satisfied he could make a reduction
of one and one-half mills in the
pension tax and so ordered, but to
determine whether or not still fur
ther reduction of the state millage
could be made. it was necessary for
him to take further time to gather
more definite data from a large
number of tax assessors. He asked
the assessors for this information,
and now since receiving reasonably
accurate information from practical
ly all OF the counties, the governor
has reached the conclusion that act
state millage, he will reduce the said
state millage of TX mills as fixed by
law, to 5 " mills, for the assessment
of 1914, and has made proper or
ders covering the reduction.
The effects OF the order reducing
the millage Is that the amount OF
taxes which will be paid for 1914,
will be nearly 100000 less than
would have been collected had the
millage remained at seven and
half mills. Gov. Trammen believes
in keeping taxes as low as reasona-
bly, permissible considering the nee
essary expenses of the state govern
ment and also thinks the tax payers
should not ibe required to pay such
high taxes as to create a large sur
plus in any fund, upon which the
state would get only small rate OF
interest. I'M
