THE FEE SYSTEM
GREAT MENACE

Chattanooga. Tenn, Sept. 19.-Aftel
nearly year spent in investigating
the fee system of Tennessee as applied
to the principal county officers, tht
tax commission of the Tennessee
Manufacturers association has sub
mitted its report to that body's presi-
dent and board of governors. The tax
commission consists of T. R. Preston
Chattanooga, chairman; Chas. D. Nit
chell. Chattanooga; James Maynard
Knoxville; w. H. Hartford, Nashville
and l.. L, Curtiss, Jackson.
"The state is being nibbled to death
by the fee system" declares the COM
mission. "and by the most obnoxious
system of taxation of any state in the
union
"The aggregate fees of the county
court clerk of Davidson county each
year will exceed the annual salaries
of our five supreme judges and the
governor combined.
1--WE find that the trustee in Shelby
county, for four years, received in
fees $2O3,SOO, about $4,000 per an
mum. This is larger than the annual
salary of the President of the United
States up to few years ago, and ex-
ceeds the salary of any federal off,
cial with the exception of the Presi-
dent.
THE trustee and county court clerk
in Knox county receives annually in
fees from $4,000 to $4,000, nearly
four times the salary of the state
treasurer.
Hamilton county's sheriff receives
annually in fees sum equal to about
seven times the salary of our state
superintendent of public instruction.
There are instances where clerk
of court receives five or six times as
much as the salary of the presiding
judge.
Fees of county officers of Tonnes
oCC . AOul tdl sc COuHtlco average dDOut
$4,000 each annually.
"In two recorded cases, revenue
agent and back tax attorneys received
in fees enough to pay the governors
salary eleven years."
Constitutional limitations are held
to interfere with adoption of remedial
measures. In addition, the commits
sion doubts the associations ability to
combat the fee officials machine" in
ninety-six counties.
The report seems to be made as the
basis of future fight for substitution

The report declares that at is use

political bosses in this connection. |

and it would be just as sensible for a
farmer to set a pack of wolves to |

TERRAIN CHURCH

|
TERRAIN CHURCH
Nine years ago l came to town
And often walked in mud,
To the small old fashioned churches
Mostly built of wood;
The seats were hard to sit on
The windows very small,
But little light or air got in
And sometimes none at all.
But now the streets and sidewalks
Are paved all up-to-date
Whole streets and business houses
Are SO beautiful and great
never saw the like before
Done in so short time
Though rs good states I've seen
And some Of another cline.
No flies ON the Commercial Club
They're putting on full steam
To boom the city faster still
And greater things to dream,
Ten years from now the census rolls
OF thirty thousand strong
Will make the neighbors wonder
How you got so fast along.
Where once the little churches stood
Great temples now we see,
Where thousands go to worship God
And bend the willing knee;
And praise him for his wondrous love
So freely to bestow
The glories of Heaven above
In churches here below.
To that little Presbyterian church
Sometimes at night I've been
And such crowd outside found
Who couldn't all get in:
But a thirty thousand dollar house
Inside and out find
So beautiful it ought to be
Admired by all mankind.
Thank God for this peaceful heritage
OF land divinely blest,
Where all mankind may worship
In way they love the best;
In christian love and unity
The churches all are one
To the glory of God the Father
And Jesus Christ his Son.
Thank God for the Presbyterian
church
It's done SO miish to save
And christianize the heather;
Thy missionaries brave
Have done great work for the Master
Who crowns of rejoicing viii bring
When he cometh to make up his jewels
For the servants of the King.
And Aow, o, Lord. This new church
We dedicate to thee.
To shine as the stars in glory
To all eternity:
For all the ransomed sinners
1t saves through grave divine
Our thanks shall be eternal
Our praise forever thine.
