GOOD ROADS FOR
HARDIN COUNTY

Savannah, Tenn; July 8.-The
Hardin county court has been call
ed in extra session for the first
Monday in August to authorize the
issuance Of bonds to build the
roads laid out at their last regular
session, to employ an engineer and
to make all necessary arrange
ments for the construction of the
roads. With the improved condi-
ton Of the roads in the Fourth
Civil district, around the town of
Savannah and with the other favor
able condition that the gravel will
not have to be hauled more than
three miles in the construction of
any Of the roads laid out, it is esti-
mated that the roads may be put
in all-year-auto-passable condition
for an average of a thousand dollars
per mile.

NUMBER so
1000 CITIZENS
DISQUALIFIED
In MADISON co.

The following startling statement
Of political indifference in Madison
county has been sent out from
Jackson.
Jackson, Tenn, July 6.-Seven
thousand citizens Of Madison coun-
ty will be disqualified from voting
in the state and county elections Of
Aug. 8 by their failure to pay their
poll taxes 80 days before the elec-
ton, according to the records in the
office Of Trustee J. L. Pearson. On
ly 5000 of the $4,000 possible poll
tax receipts have been issued. OF
1000 poll tax assessments in the
city Of Jackson only $40 have been
paid, but no city election has yet
been called and the failure to pay
the city poll tax does not disqualify
the voter in the state and county
elections.

The cost of the Titantic war of
Europe has already reached a stu
pendous total for each of the prin-
cipal nations that is beyond the
comprehension of the average mind.
They have already begun to calcu-
late in billions and the figures do
not include the losses of property
and the decentralization of business.
But the little furry between the
United States and Mexico gives us
a slight intimation Of the financial
burdens that would be imposed
upon the people Of this nation if an
actual war should occur.
The mere possibility Of war ne
cessitating the mobilization Of the
national guards has so increased
the expenses of government, not
withstanding the $78,0O0,00O in the
treasury, that the ways and means
committee has sent to the national
house of representatives the largest
revenue measure ever brought in
for the approval Of congress.
All who would dance must pay
the fiddler.
Here are the outstanding features
Of the revenue bill made necessary
only by the rumors Of war:
The income tax is more than
doubled all along the line.
A new tax on jnheritances is pro-
posed, applying to inheritances over
$4,000.
A tax is levied on the profits Of
the manufacture Of munitions Of
war.
Practically all stamp taxes lev
led under the first war revenue act
are repealed.
Protection is guaranteed to the
dyestuffs industry.
A non-partisan tariff commission
is created.
Payment Of expenses incident to
the Mexican expedition are to be
met by an issue Of bonds.
Anti-unfair competition clause
substituted for anti-dumping clause.
New method Of taxing theaters.
The income tax will be:
The present exemption Of $4,000
for q single man and $4,000 for q
married man IS retained.

COST OF EUROPEAN WAR
IS GREAT TO THE PEOPLE
OF THE UNITED STATES

The present tax Of one per cent is
raised to two per cent on all in
comes Of $4,000 or less.
The tax is then graded up from
one per cent additional on incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000 to ten Fer
cent additional on all incomes in
excess Of $4,000.
The inheritance tax provisions
are:
The tax is made payable on all
inheritances over $4,000 within
one year after the death Of the de-
cedent, and is graduated as follows:
On estate which net from $780,
600 to $15O,0OO, two per cent; be-
tween $4,000 and $25O,OO0, three
per cent; between $25O,OOO and
100000, four per cent; five per
cent when the estate is over $780,
900,
1t is estimated that this tax will
raise over $54,O0O,OOO annually.
The munitions Of war tax provision
is based on gross receipts and is as
follows:
On gunpowder, five per cent on
gross receipts not over $150,000;
eight per cent, when over $1,000
900. Blasting powder and dyna-
mite are excluded. On firearms,
sbrapnel, cartridges, machine guns
and rifles, the tax is:
On receipts not over $250,000,
two per cent; two per cent; between
$25O,0OO and $5O0,0OO and $1,000
600, four per cent; on receipts over
100000, five per cent.
It is estimated that the war mu-
nitions tax will produce $65, 100000
annually.
The tax on theaters has been
changed so that the theaters will
pay according to the population Of
the cities in which they are located,
instead Of according to their seating
capacity, as heretofore.
The new rates are:
Cities Of more than 1000 popula-
ton, $40; over 100000, SIS; over
100000, $40; all other cities Of
larger population, one-half Of one
per cent on gross receipts from ad-
missions will be ied.--Jackson

SOUTHERN HOTEL
JACKSON, MAKES
IMPROVE M ENT

While in Jackson one day re-
Gently, The PROGRESS man was
shown in detail, by Mr.. Robert l.
Burgess, the genial and hustline
manager Of the Southern Hotel, the
extensive improvements now being
made to the hotel structure on Bal
timore street, opposite court square,
and rapidly approaching compile
ton. The Southern has long been
a fayorite with The PRoGREss man,
who first began stopping at that
place in 1884, when tbs late Capt.
Jim Bright was the proprietor Of
the leading hotel of Jackson, then
known as the Bright House and To-
Gated on the Southern's present
site. Later, the late Mrs. J. H. Day
bought the property, improved it
and named it The Southern" AZ
ter the death of Mrs. Day, the
Southern fell into the hands of her
brother, Mr.. Robert L. Burgess, as
manager, who has conducted it in a
manner especially pleasing to the
commercial travellers, who are its
greatest friends and patrons. While
we regard the Southern as one of
the best and most homelike hotels
in West Tennessee, it is gratifying
to the friends of the establishment
to note the extensive addition and
improvement now rapidly approach
ing completion. These improve
ments in detail show fifty rooms,
each one with private bath; eleven
new sample rooms, barber shop,
billiard hall, new toilet, baggage
room, store room, cold storage and
baking department; also a. palm
court with a fountain which will be
the prettiest in the South; a day
and night cafe which will open out
on Baltimore street. The original
dinning room will be used ?ust the
same, only will be European plan
A new Otis elevator will be INSTALL
ed, the car carrying from twenty to
twenty-five people. The old part
Of the hotel will be refurnished and
remodeled with running water in
every room-hot and cold-in fact
Mr.. Burgess thinks the Southern
will be the best equipped hotel to
its size in the South.

IMPORTANT DECIS-
IONS RENDERED

Judgments to the amount Of $685.
354 were authorized in a decision
handed down by Chancellor ]. w.
Ross in the celebrated jackson
church cases in which a number Of
jackson, Memphis and Nashville
concerns are much interested.
Judge Ross decided that the lien
holders could enforce their furnish
ers' and mechanics liens on the
bondsmen on Mcknight & Merz,
contracting firm which built the
First Presbyterian and First Metho-
dist church. structures Of this city,
and later became bankrupt.
The cases have been pending in
chancery court for over one year.
Judge Ross based his decision on
an opinion recently handed down
by the supreme court.
No appeal has been taken and
likely there will be none, inasmuch
as the supreme court recently pass
ed on case involving somewhat
the same issues and principles Of
law.--Jackson Sun

2l,OOO,OOO MEN In
MILITARY LIMIT

1t is estimated by the census bu
reau that the United States has q
male population Of 21,00O,0O0, be-
tween the ages Of 21 and 48 years,
inclusive. This estimate is based
on the conclusion that there has
been an increase Of 10 per cent in
population since the census of 1910.
When that. census was taken the
number over 10 years and under
46 years was 19,183,OOO and Of that
number 14,224,000 were native
whites, 2,857,OOO were foreign born
whites who had become naturalized,
2,052,000 negroes and $4,000 In
dians. During the civil war in the
sixties, the population. exclusive Of
the seeding states. was less than
one-fourth Of the present figure, and
there served in the federal army,
first and last, 2,500,000 men. By
the census Of 1910 Tennessee had
between the ages Of Is and 48
years 434.641 men, while the whole
South had 6.OO6,l39, compared with
l3,O94,615 in the North and 1870.

might have caught the eye Of Gen.

WILL PLACE HERD
OF FINE CATTLE

Trezevant, Tenn, July 6.--Efforts
are being made by c. H. benson,
the Carroll County farm demonstra-
ton agent, to place a carload or
more Of fine shorthorn cattle in this
county. Mr.. benson has already
succeeded in placing more than half
Of the desired number, which is rs
head. To encourage the farmers to-
buy these cattle, some Of the banks
Of the county have agreed to ad-
vance on one and two years the
purchase price to farmers desiring
to purchase a heifer at the rate Of
six per cent. The officials Of the N,
c. & ST. L. Railroad Company have
also offered as an inducement to
place a fine $3.50 male in the coun-
ty for two or three years for the
free use Of the members Of the buy
ing club and at the end Of that time
to remove him and place another
young male in the county to take
his place. Experts will select these
cattle to see that none but thor
oughbred are sold here.

GOV. RYE WANTS
TO SELECT OWN
CAMPAIGN MGR,

The following was sent out from
Nashville in the last weekend
Nashville, Tenn, July 6.-L. D.
Hill, chairman OF the state Demo-
cratic committee, who was recently
reelected despite the party custom
OF yielding to the wishes Of the
Democratic nominee for governor
in the selection Of campaign COM
mittee, called on Governor Rye at
the capitol this afternoon.
It is said he stated that he re-
gretted the friction over his election
as chairman. but that self-respect
would not permit him to resign or
withdraw. Report has it that Gov
ernor Rye reported that an equal
amount Of self-respect on his part
compelled him to exercise his right
of selecting a campaign committee
Of tried and true Democrats and
loyal supporters, and that he would
name his committee in due time.
Hill left for Sparta in the after
noon, but declined to discuss the
matter. Governor Rye and friends
had nothing to say. 1t is said Hill
came to Nashville following a talk
with Senator Shields at Knoxville,
but Hill says he was in Knoxville
on legal business before the court
of appeals.

SUBMARINE DOES
WONDERFUL FEAT

Possibly the greatest feat ever
performed by an underwater boat
was accomplished last Sunday night
when a German submarine came to
anchor in the Chesapeake bay, bear
ing a cargo Of thousand tons Of
German dyestuffs and without the
vessel or any member Of the crew
bearing arms. The vessel is styled
a super-submarine, named the
Deutschland, is 315 feet long and
claims to have left a German port
on the 23d Of June. The trip across
athe ocean is ALSO miles and the
Deutschland claims to have made
1900 miles Of that distance under
water. This particular submarine
is said to be the largest vessel Of
that type aloat. The Deutschland
carries a crew Of 20, all Of whom
were drawn from the German mer-
chant service and not from the
navy. On the way across the At
lantic the Deutschland was chased
for 80 hours by British and French
warships, but she submerged and
eluded her pursuers by going eight
hundred miles out Of her intended
course. What will happen next in
this wonderful world?

der denies being chased and says he

GALS REPORTED
SHORT $7l,lS7.79

From Nashville, on Thursday Of
last week, the following was sent
as special to the Commercial Ap-
peal.
James Cameron, who has spent
over year auditing the books and
accounts of Nashville, submitted a
sensational report to the board of
commissioners today. He says that
during the years 1910 to 1914, in
elusive, a total amount Of $71,187.-
rs was distracted or embezzled
from the city treasury.
During the years 1909 to 1915
approximately $4,000 in interest
and penalties was illegally remitted
and the examiners submit that
there is due to the city from the
First and Fourth National banks
the sum Of $3,563.45, a difference
emanating obviously from what we
submit to an erroneous construction
on the part Of the bank Of the
agreement between the bank and
the city The report is accompan-
led by on exhibit comprising a
statement on deposits in the Broad
way National bank from January,
1912, to May, 1915, showing differ
erences in results after computing
the interest on daily balances pur-I
suant to the contract. Since the
completing Of this work the Broad
way Natioaal bank has turned over
to the city Of Nashville apparently
in settlement Of the claim a check
for $9S5.55.'
The report shows that there is
still due and unpaid the following
amounts on account Of overdraft OF
salaries.
Lyle Andrews, $1,696.69; A. D.
Andrews, $5O4.12; R. M. Burns,
$601.57; Charles Myers, $5O.27; w.
L. Murray, $522.25; J. B. West,
$7O179.
On August 16, 1915, the exam
liners say, Charles Myers reimbursed
the city Of Nashville in the sum Of
$500 on the assumption. we are in
formed, that the amount coustitu-
ted the aggregation of his over
draft.
"One Of the most important Of
the now numerous exhibits which
accompany the report is a balance
sheet Of the city Of Nashville as of
December 81, 1915, relative to
which the report contains the fol-
lowing:
THE balance sheet shows that
on December 81, 1915, the capital
surplus Of the city Of Nashville was
$11, ,143879.83; that the revenue
surplus was $55O,45717; or, in 9TH
er words, the excess in assets over
liabilities was $11,684,336.99 The
values applied to the respective
properties are in accordance with
the estimates and data furnished
by the heads of various depart
ments and from whatever other
sources available. The financial
condition Of the city Of Nashville is
