TRANSMISSION LINE COMING.

A party ofTennessee Power Co. officials,
headed by Albert Crumley, arrived in
Ducktown, Tuesday evening, on tour of
inspection of the proposed transmission
line that is to furnish the power for the
Tennessee Copper Co.
In the party we're: Richard Stiles, ?.
G.. Smallwood, H. Crumbliss, Chattanooga;
r. H. Anderson, Robt Miller, VIM. Co.
forth, Parksville; Albert Crumley.
1t is expected that the line will be com
pleted by next December, and will furnish
electric power for Il e Tennessee Co. at this
place and Mcpherson.
It may mean, too, that the citizens of
Ducktown will be supplied with electricity,
a thing that is very badly needed.

AS TO HIGH SCHOOLS.

For some months there has been dis
position on the part of certain persons be-
low the mountains to ignore the fact that
there was another high school in Polk
county.
Of course the Benton High school has
done good work and nobody is disposed
to take any credit from it that is deserving.
But the designation of the Polk County
High School, is misleading and tends to
put the Ducktown High School in second
airy position.
AT the Tennessee Normal last spring, the
Ducktown High School was held up as a
model in its working an honor that was
merited-and we believe few will begrudge
he'praise thus given.
There is another High school at Copper
hill and, as it is just starting it has repu-
tation to achieve. But there is no reason
to believe that it will not be in the front
ranks in matters scholastic and be a
credit to the county.

HEAVY WAR TAXES
ENGLAND'S BURDEN
New Taxes Ten Millions Weekly and
Only Chance to Reeoup
Through Indemnity
BY J. w. T. MASON
(Written for the United Press)

N"Elllen lot the UnlteQ PreSS)
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The new
and heavy taxes which Great Britain
proposes to levy upon the nation will
not be temporary, but will continue in
definitely. The waste of war and the
staggering debts it involves are seen
vividly in the new budget submitted
to parliament by Chancellor of EX-
cheQuer McKenna. These huge burd-
ems cannot be eliminated In the future,
unless substitute for the taxes is
found or unless peace expenditures
are reduced
The new taxes will raise ten million
dollars weekly. This amount is need
ed to pay interest on England's gigan-
tic war loans. Therefore, the British
ale not paying for the war by the
hard financial duty they are imposing,
but instead are simply shouldering in
advance of other nations, the perma-
nent load which the war Is creating.
Other nations must soon follow suit.
- viz "oA SOhllhuCS Will
be forced to increase her taxes again
in order to meet the interest on furth-
er borrowings.
The only way to evade the dead
weight of these war burdens is to col
lect indemnity when hostilities have
ceased, but OF getting this there is no
prospect.
