PEOPLE NOT SATISFIED.

The bond bill matter to the minds
of the limited number who have con-
stantly striven for its passage, is now
supposed to be settled. Further con-
troversY is supposed to be over, and
now there is nothing more to do than
to spend the money on the roads des-
ignated, and try to eclipse the proud
record of the former bond bill.
The Commissioners are reported to
have said that they would serve with
out pay. which. If they do. is certain
ly very philanthropic. If they have
decided to serve without pay it is a
tacit admission Of two things, that the
people were dissatisfied about the
amount of salary that could be paid
them, and that the amount Of money,
$s5, 900, was clearly insufficient to
build the 50-mile road proposed, and
by donating their salaries they will
have donated considerable sum to-
wards these roads If the work Is ever
completed.
The people, however, remain dissat-
isfied. While the Commissioners may
donate salaries offered them in the
first instance, no one in the second in
stance donates to the people extra
money for extra taxes, and no new in
dustry is contemplated for this coun.
ty which would furnish a supply of
ready money for extra taxes. In fact,
the high tax rate will keep out any
Industries, and may possibly move out
eventually some that we now have,
which are none too many. An agri-
cultural section, which this is fast
getting to be, where early frosts play
havoc with garden and orchard, and
where drouths are getting epidemic, |
has no surplus money for surplus tax
es. 1t is scramble for living
among the people, and hard living
at that. A speaker at the August
term of court, Mr.. Rankin, rightly

FRANKLIN COUNTY
WILL LEAVE IT
TO PEOPLE

The Franklin County Court
will give the people OF
Franklin County a fair
chance in the matter of bond
issue, and calls a special
election to let them vote on
il. This is all the people of
Marion County have ever de-
manded, and they have been
fought and robbed in the
matter steadily and system
atically. 1t is their right to
vote over the bond matter,
and they still demand it.
The followidg dispatch
tells the story in Franklin:
WINCHESTER, Tenn,
Aug, 1O.-The county court
of Franklin county met here
yesterday morning in re-
spouse to a call issued by
George E. Banks, Jr., county
Judge. The object of the
meeting was to lay out roads
over the county and submit
to the people the right to vote
on the bond issue. About
1877 miles of pike over diff
ferent parts of the county
was agreed upon. An cleo
ton is called for Sept. 18th
for the purpose of bonding
the county for $35O,OOO
to build the roads passed on
by the court. The sentiment |
for good roads in this coun-
ty is better than ever before,
and there is little or no doubt
of the bond issue passing by
a large majority.

cidental expenses be prorated accord
ing to the amount for engineering.
etc. required by each section of the
road, and that same come out of their
proportion.
the main road running through South
Pittsburg from the Battle Creek road
to the Alabama State line, be treated
as all other pixies in the county and
that S., 600 be appropriated for imme-
diste repair thereto, and that same be
kent as other roads from the general
pike fund.
We further, and urgently recon.
mend that Marion County arrange in
some way to establish and operate a
ferry at Rankin's Ferry, and a ferry
near South Pittsburg, and that all
urofit therefrom be placed to the credit
of the general pike fund. We believe
that from this source revenue Of not
less than $4,000 per annum can be OBJ
tanned and used on our pixies.
This Court will note that from the
300. 900 bond issue we have suggested
the expenditure of sos, 900 ON our diff
ferent roads, thus leaving only 90, 600
for incidental expenses. We believe
that this Sc, 900 is more than enough
to cover all legitimate incidental ex-
penses, as we see no reason for the
expense Of salaried engineer, fees to
commissi and this committee is
assured of the services of three Of four
best lawyers in Marion County and
more than this number from Hamilton
County, Judge Allison among the
number, in the event it becomes nee
essary to employ an attorney. who will
donate absolutely free their services In
the interest of progress, good roads
and harmony.
Respectfully submitted,

Chairman.

If some of the people of Marion had
less of the rule or ruin spirit, and
more of the idea that this was a coun-
try founded on the idea that the ma
jority should rule, there would be a
great deal less friction. There is en-
tirely too much row to the square inch
in Marion county for it's good and pro-
giess, and when our people wake up
to the fact that they should make sac
rifices towards unanimity, things will
go better. Any attempts. however, to
force the majority to the will of the
minority is going to continue strug-
gle which will be decidedly unpleas-
ant.

EXCELLENT SERVICE POSSIBLE.

We failed to complete our article Of
last week regarding the Zeppelin
Route from Suck Greek bluff. Zeppel-
ms making the voyage may have cfio-
es on board for the convenience of the
autoists. For instance, dentists
Office will be provided, so that aching
molars can be extracted and dropped
several thousand feet straight down.
There will be immense satisfaction in
this latter feat to the sufferer. A law
Office may also be feature, SO that
claims for damages can be quickly
made. AS there Is not enough money
to build a first class Dixie Highway
thru Marion county this may be a
very useful and popular adjunct, as
autoists may want lots of damages.
Various offices may be opened for the
sale of handles, lumber. etc, and
some very large trades may be worked
up. 1t will be an excellent opportun'
ity to secure some business for Marion
County, as while under their own
power those automobiles will be hard
to stop to sell these articles. An ex'
pert accountant may probably have an
Office 80 as to check up the expenses OF
the voyagers. Possibly tickets will
be sold thru his Office, as owing to the
number of machines taking the Yep
pelin trip at Sc per it will require
some figuring to find out the profits.
Every advantage of ice cream pariors'
ETC., will be added.
So pleasantly surrounded with all
these conveniences, the automobilist
will pleasantly rise to an altitude tar
above the rocky cliffs of Suck Creek,

float away on the zephyrs for the City

Lots of citizens are talking of leav-
ing the county and settling else
where, and it looks like many we'll
known faces will be missing, High
taxes proposed is what has brought
about this encouragement, as well as
the foolish distribution of money from
bonds over such wide extent of road,
reducing it thereby to a waste. A
Chattanooga speaker said last March,
"If the people don't like the taxes,
they can get out" He said they could
sell to some good Yankees. but Yank-
ees are not fooled as.essy as all that,
for the first thing they ask about Is
taxes.

If You have little home valued at
$500, your tax next March will be
$i1.25, an increase of $1.25. The state
will then kindly step in and increase
the valuation you give in, and If they
increase it only 10 per cent, it will
mean sta extra tax on the same
property the following year, or a total
of $12.36 year on that little $500
home. If you own $1,000 place, your
tax on the same basis in 1917 will be
$s4.7 And this is to get 800. 900
sprinkled along the roadsides of Ma.
rion, over mileage which has not
been stated yet, but which will come
close to 100 miles, $1,000 per mile.

CAN'T SELL BONDS Of-HAND.

A statement is made to us that the
commissi toner's will go ahead with the
selling of bonds without the necessary
preliminaiies. In this they had bet
ter be careful and follow the bill
strictly, as it provides how the bonds
shall be sold. Sec. of the BILL after
STIMULATING that the rate of interest on
bonds shall not exceed per cent. per
year, which rate, as we understand it,
shall be fixed by the court, and so far
as we know has not yet been fixed,
says: "And the commissioners here
matter provided for, shall advertise
and offer for sale and sell to the high
est bidder for cash, said commission
ers retaining the right in said adver-
tisement to reject any and all bids, If
In their discretion, they deem said bids
unsatisfactory. Hence by the terms
of bill. bids on bonds must be adver-
tised for. and 80 days is considered le-
gal time. The counties of Cumberland
and Fentress have been thru the pro-
cess, and rejected the first bids as be-
low par, and readvertised the bonds.
Marion's Pike Commission cannot le
gally sell bonds in any other way.
And they cannot let contracts without
advertising for thirty days for sealed
bids, for Sec. 10 of bill declares this.
They tell us the County Court is the
people, and no injunction can stand
against them. Let US Prove that they
have not only gone against the people
but also themselves. In the first place
they voted for bill that, among 9th
or appropriations ost ensibly gave $1O.-
900 to the East Valley road. yet when
certified copy of bill was produced
after their vote this amount had been
taken off. Then they voted down a
resolution ordering 50, 500 spent on
this road, to be doubled later. In 9th
er words they voted down a resolution
for money for road which they
thought they had voted for in the first
instance and didn't get. Isn't there
room for an injunction there on
ground that if they represented the
people IN the first instance they surely
must not have represented them in the
second. los
