OUR TAX SYSTEM.

1t would probably be hard, almost
impossible, to conceive of more I'M
scientific and inequitable system OF
taxation than we have in Tennessee.
According to the findings and report
of the able tax commission appointed
HAST year by Gov Rye, it is impossi-
ible however, to work any real reform
of the system under our present Or
ganic law That committe in its ex-
ihaustive report on the subject said:
Anything like a complete and thor
,oughly effective reform of our tax
system cannot now be obtained; and
the chief obstacle is the intiexibie
article on taxation in the constitution
of 1870" Speaking of our system this
committee also said 1T puts pre-
MUM on dishonesty and debauches
the public conscience; it reduces de
ception to a system and makes q
science of knavery it presses hard
est on those least able to pay; it i'm
poses double taxation on one man and
grants entire immunity to the next
We all know that this is not over
stating the case.
Now this condition should not con
tinue always. 1t has hampered anC
impeded the progress Of our state; i
has been productive of continuous anC
very expensive litigation and 1t ha'
brought confusion and discord amoni
our people The Herald has repeat
eddy shown, how, under the propert,
direct tax system the citizens mos
able to pay often escape altogethe
the burdens of government, Will
those least able to pay are severel
penalized. Now assuredly this sys
tenn should be improved, must be rem
edied. The constitutional convention
opens the avenue for improvement
There Is absolutely only one argJ
ment to be made against the calm
Of the proposed convention an
that is the fear that small mel
selfish men and men susceptible I

A soRplp MESS.

Revelations OF, the partnership that
has existed between the Crump ma
chine of Memphis and the dive keep
ers and bootleggers Of the city, being
made by the Commercial Appeal show
an appalling state OF affairs. IL Is
,proven beyond controversy, in tact,
NO denial is made, that the Crump
machine depended upon the gamblers,
Ahe thugs, the dive keepers and the
bootleggers for the immense MAORI
ties that were rolled up in every cleo
Aion for it's candidates. Under the
system popular government became
mockery and a farce; there was no
such thing as fair registration OF
the peoples will Ignorant and
vicious negroes, the very dregs OF
society we're herded like cattle, sup
plied with bogus registration certifi-
Gates and poll tax receipts, the latter
purchased with the campaign fund
contributed by the lawless for protec-
Aion, and they voted as they were
told.
OF course there has been no en-
Horcement OF the law in Memphis.
No attempt was made to curb gam
bling or end the lawless liquor traffic
When the benefciaries of lawlessness
contributed enormous slush funds to
nay poll taxes and corrupt and de-
bauch the ballot it would not be ex-
pected that they would be hailed into
court and made to cease their nefari-
Gus traffic. When police officers, the
sworn protectors of the people and
executors of the law, we're required
TO aid in the violation of the law, it is
small wonder that Memphis had the
worst murder record in all Of the Uni
ted States. When corrupt machine
politics and lawless liquor dealers and
low dive keepers enter into hard
and fast alliance for the absolute gov.
sernment of city and county no one
need express surprise at the depths
of depravity which may be reached.
What is the remedy? Gov. Rye Is
sCOurageously doing all that he can
under the laws of the state to oust
the faithless officials who have en-
tered into this unholy alliance with
crime and vice, but in the end the
people of the community affected mus
furnish the true remedy. The people
of any city and county get just abou
the character of government that the!
deserve. Faithless and incompetent of
ficials can and should be removed bu
conditions which created them ant
kept them in office will not improve
until the better element of the com
lmunity become thoroughly aroused
and insists upon having as public off
scials men who will keep an oath ant
do their duty.

GLEE CLUB TO POTLATCH

The Glee Club will make still an
other trip in the northern part of the
state. On March 81 they VIII give all
evening concert in Palouse and on
April l both matinee and evening
concerts in Potlatch. By doubling up
on Saturday it will be possible for a
large number of the farmers around
Potlatch to attend the rehearsal who
would be otherwise compelled tc miss
it.
A large amount of interest is being
manifested over the coming concerts
of the Glee Club in these towns and
the prospects are that they will nave
an excellent reception. The splendid
work done by the Glee Club in other
towns of North Idaho has served to
arouse a large interest among rival
towns and it looks as though the Glee
Club in the future, instead of having
to beg for dates at these towns, will
be compelled to pass up many of the
places that would enjoy hearing them.

ELECT BASKET BALL CAPTAIN

Last Sunday morning at 10 o'clock
breakfast luncheon, when Coach Beg
hold and the basketball men had as
sembled to wet the new "I's," Alden
Hyde was elected captain of the 1916
IL basket ball squad. Hyde has played
regularly in the varsity squad for
three seasons and his spectacular if
not phenomenal playing in every game
has marked him as one the the scin-
tillating satellites of the Northwest.
Like Funston's troops on defense, like
the Germans on offense at Verdun he
has been tower of strength bull
wark of our battling team. For three
years he has upheld the national repu-
tation of our team and it is hoped that
under his leadership the quintet will
have another VIGOROUSLY successful
season.

STUDENTS TO TAKE
THE CITY CENSUS
Probable That Carefully Arranged
And Executed Plans VIII Yield I'm
usually Accurate Records

The work of taking the census OF
the city is to be done this week by
high school students The city has
been divided into districts, and cap
|tains have been appointed for each
district. They are to choose their
own assistants and are to be response
BILE for the count.
The captains and their assistants
have been selected from residents of
the districts they are to canvass so
they will be thoroughly familiar with
their ground. Vacant houses will be
given by street and number. Famil-
les will have the names of their heads
recorded, and the names of the chill
dren will be given with their ages.
Any others living in the house will be
entered with their occupation.
This census should be practically
correct, and give us definitely the ex-
act number of people in the city. 1t
is to be hoped that all will cheerful
ly cooperate with the young people
so as to make their task as light as
may be, and their work as accurate
as possible as this census will be of
much value to the city. The workers
are doing it not for pay but for the
sake of doing something that will be
of general benefit.

SWAT The FLIES
SAYS OFFICIAL
CITY HEALTH OFFICER URGES AN
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
THE PESTS
Recommends Fly Traps, But Emphas.
ICES Importance Of Preventing
Breeding

"A well organized campaign against
flies made early in the season will be
infinitely more effective in combating
those dangerous and obnoxious pests
than much greater efforts would be
later said city health officer, Dr. D.
f. Rae today.
Filth is the breeding place of flies,
and the purpose of the cleanup or
der of the council is to diminish the
breeding of flies to the greatest ex-
tent possible" said Dr. Rae. when
people realize how much of human
suffering and how many deaths have
been due to the spreading of disease
by the common house fly, and take a
more serious view of their obligations
to aid in protecting the health and
lives of their fellow, we will have less
sickness"
DR.. Rae will urge the city council to
provide funds with which to buy a
number of fly traps to be placed in
favorable places, and will urge peo-
pie to use traps freely throughout the
season. At this time, interest should
be centered on destroying or remov-
ing the breeding places of flies, and
on destroying flies as fast as they
show up. One fly that survives the
winter may become the parent of hun
dreds of millions next summer
