TAXES
80 PER CENT.
Both Houses Have Passed the Highway Bill
Providing One Mil Levy on Prop
eTy. For NeStFOu Years.

The house Friday afternoon
passed the state good roads bill,
providing for special levy Of one
mill on the dollar on all taxable
property in Tennessee for four
years in order to take advantage
Of the Federal aid plan. This will
raise the state taxes in Tennessee
from three and one-half mills to
four and one-half mills a year, or
80 per cent. It will bring in $780,
1000 a year. or a total Of So, 100000
lin four years.
The federal government in the
flour years will give $1,712,00O for
Tennessee road improvement, the
offer being to put up dollar for
dollar with the state up to GER
tain amount.
The state highway department
will therefore expend $1,712,0OO in
accordance with the federal re-
quiremnts, together with an equal
sum furnished by the government,
and the remaining 81 ,O88. 90 Of the
fund provided by the state will bel
expended throughout the state in
such way as to eGualize the i'm.
provernents in all counties. The
federal requirements contemplate
two complete highways across the
state, which, of course. will not be
Of as great benefit to some counties
as to others. The highway depart
ment will therefore spend the resi-.
due Of 81, 088.0OO on the main
Highways in the counties not
touched by the two trains.state
highways.
Altogether the sum Of 81, 100000
will be expended in Tennessee for
road improvements in the four
years.. The bill has previously
passed in the senate and will reach
the governors desk in a day or SO.
The bill increasing the salaries
Of the judiciary failed in the house
Friday afternoon, the vote being
forty-seven to forty-nine. Atneith-
or the advocates for the opponents
of the bill mustered a constitution
al majority, a reconsideration was
ordered. The assessment, or tax
commission, bill failed in the sem
ate for lack of a constitutional ma.
iority, the vote being fifteen to
twelve. 1t will also be reconsider
ed. A close fight will be staged on
both bills, and the advocates and
opponents of each profess great
confidence.
The senate passed the new mil |

] R.TsskEWIS. FOR CHANCELLORS

A l$%a 9tE#k& sl-s
Hon. r. T. Lewis has made
formal announcement of his
candidacy for the democratic
nomination for chancellor of
of the Ninth chancery division
of Tennessee, his statement
appearing elsewhere in this
issue of the Enterprise. He has
had the matter under consid-
Grafton for several weeks and
resently has visited most of
the division and discussed the
question with members of the
bar and other citizens. The re-
ceptions accorded him at the
various points visited, togeth-
with the assurances of support
rendered both at home and in
the other counties, has been
such as to cause him and his
friends to feel that he can be-
come a candidate with highest
hopes of success.
ya Mr.. Lewis is a native of
Humphreys county, Tennessee,
where he. was born and reared
upon a farm. He is one Of sew.
H.
eral children, His early life
was marked by difficult strug-,
giles and he experienced many
and varied hardships. His ear.
ly education was acquired at
the common schools. Early in
life he determined upon pro-
fessional career and by his
own determined efforts sue
ceeded inacquiring a fair col
lege education. BY teaching
school and farming and other
lines of work he managed to
acquire funds for his educa-
ton, both literary and law.
He was graduated from the
law school of Cumberland Uni
vesity at Lebanon, Tenn, in
the class of 1898, and immedi-
ately upon being admitted to
the bar came to Weakley
county, where he had pre-
vfously formed many friend
ships while teaching, and es-
tablished his Office at Dresden.
Mr.. Lewis had the exper-
fence that many young law
yers mustrundergo. He pass
ed through the starvation
period" of his practice with
in a reasonably short period
however, because his steady
habits of life and study rapid
ly drew public attention. He
was always to be found at his
place Of business. Matters
committed to his charge re-
ceived prompt, intelligent and
attention, No case
was too small when once he
took it to receive his utmost
efforts and he brought to bear
his work the most
painstaking and careful con-
sideration and preparation.
Possessed of an analytical
mind he worked out his cases
to the utmost, tested and. re-
tested his theories with great
est care, marshalled his facts
and applied to them the fixed
Of law and equity.
Success resulted, as is always
so in such instances, and he
soon became one OF the leaders
Of the bar, taking particular
and especial interest in his
c hancery practice. His

worthy of the support of the
people for Cifcnit Judge and
they did succeed in convincing a
large majority of the people to
that effect.
Then came the turn of w. r.
Lay, also candidate for Circuit
Judge, who made a hit with the
crowd by reciting the old story
of the boys who found a fine nut
in the woods, and one claimed
the nut because he was first to
pick it up and the other claimed
it because he was the first to see
it and not being able to agree as
to whose it should be they be-
gan to quarrel, when a larger
boy came up and settled the
quarrel by giving to each boy a
lone-half of the shell and takin G
for his pains for settling the
quarrel the Kernel" Those
two quarrelling boys, Lay said,
are Rose and Bird and | will
take the Judgeship and settle
the quarrel.
Mr.. Lay then without abusing
any one or making any charges
discussed the vast powers vest
ed in the Circuit Judge and the
great responsibilities that rested
upon him, and that it took man

lawyer of ability and experience
to measure up. to the standard

ney.
Two years ago both these Off.
ces were TO be filed. McCreary
county did not ask for either by
any Of its sons. Knox county
asked for Circuit Judge and was
given that position without op-
position from either Whitley or
McCreary. Whitley county ask
ed for the Commonwealth Attor-
ney and was given that position
without opposition from either
Knox or McCreary. The term to
which these officers where elect
ed is 8 years, and after one year
of that term had been served by
the Judge there came a vacancy
for the remaining five years. The
Governor appointed a Whitley
county man as judge fer one
year, and for this year Whitley
county has both the Judge and
Commonwealth Attorney. The
present election is to fill the va
cancy by election for the remain.
ing four years of this six year
term.
Knox county is asking that it
be allowed to fill out this unex-
PRED term. There are two from
Whitley asking that they be al
lowed to fill out the term, thus
giving to Whitley both the
Judge and the Attorney for five
or six years.
If location is to be a qualifi-
cation, do you not believe. as a
fair man, that Knox county
ought to be allowed to fill out
this term. and then let each of
the counties get together and
agree upon a plan for the divis-
of the offices.
But it is now being urged
that it is w hitley county's time
and you ought to vote for Whit
ley county's candidate for Cir
cult Judge. What is Whitley
county so far as this primary is
concerned? Is it not the 1000
Republican voters in the county,
if so, and you decide it is Whit
ley county's time, do you not
believe, as one of those voters,
that you should have been con-
suited as to who should be your
candidate? Were you asked to
select for Whitley county a can
didate for Circuit Judge, or did
some Political Machine name
the candidate, and then start
the yell 1T is Whitley county's
time" and then expect by this
yell to have you fall in and help
further to establish the machine
in power.
Now think this matter over,
do you really believe that it is
where a man lives, that should
be the standard, in determining
for whom you should vote, OF
should it be who he is and whe
he is and what he is? DOM
you think character and qualifi,

these ends the rulers os Germany will continue to shed blood of Germans in torrents, they will waste her sub stance, will pile upon the shoulders of those who survive the war the burden of a deb. that unless repudiated will crush them as surely as the might of their foes could crush them. No mask of pretense ever concealed a more dreadful reality. 1t does not and can not conceal it. the greater par. of the world already sees the truth, all the world mus: soon see it. It is a futile coneealmeat, from which there is no escape but frank ayowal or an aban- donment. of the purpose.
 The London financial correspondent of The Evening Post says: Tt is be- lieved that Tuetonic Powers will con- tinue to press for peace, but they may wholly spoil :heir chance by mere cun- ming diplomacy. Straightforward dealing. with the cards on the table is the only way to end the war" Any other tactics would be wholly useless. Germany proposed negotiations for peace quite independently President Wilson inquired if the warning powers could no. state their terms in a form making it possible to compare them, with view to beginning negotia- tions, and the Allied Powers did state their terms with the utmost frankness and manifested sincerely. Germany will forfeit all she retains of the good opinion of the world if she fails to fol- low their example. It is for her to state now the real objects for which she is fighting. which is the same thing as stating the terms of peace. Cards on the table is :he rule she must fol- low. or the world will be forced to conclude that her purposes are so sell fish, wicked, and contrary to the gen eral interest that she dared not avow them. There is no honorable or safe escape from the obligations that rests upon her to say now whether she is resolved to continue the war because she refuses to accept "a peace upon the principles of liberty and justice"
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-03-28

city and massacre? Is Germany will
 ing to say that the peoples of the many
 countries she would bring under her
 sway in the execution of this design
 have no rights which she is bound to
 respect, hat she will ride them down
 as she rode down Belgium?
 Even If she still cherishes that am bition and would make the barbarous aYowal, that would be no cause for
 continuing the war, because her dream
 of Middle Europe is as impossible of realization as her dream of dominating all Europe. IL would be senseless and
 revoltiag to set up an impossible object as a reason for continuing :he war.
 But the great purpose of the Allies is
 just peace. That which they de-
 sire above all," they say in their reply
 to the President, "is to insure peace upon the principles of liberty and jus- tice upon the inviolable fidelity of in- ternational obligations with which the Government of the United States has never ceased to be inspired" Can
 Germany fight on against peace based on justice, peace which all the world outside the Central Powers firmly and conscieatiously believes to
 be just? The three great nations of the world which have the most and best reasons for desiring permanent peace are England. the United States, and Germany. They are industrial and commercial nations and war is merce. What other object within her hope of attainment can Germany now put above peace, mediate peace, that would leave her free to repair th@ waste of war and engage once more in the honorable competitions of con- merce?
 It is :ime for Germany to drop the mask, as the Kaiser has said that the Allies have dropped it. It is beyond all question that the prolongation of the war cannot serve the interests of the German people. Their need of peace is extreme, they must be deliv- cred from present suffering almost too great to be endured from the peril of fffinancial collapse and actual starva- tion that is now so near. If the war is to be continued it will not be by the will or wish of the German people, l. is by another class not by the people, that the resolve to continue the war will be taken. If it is the dynasty seeking to save itself, if it is the mili- :arists class that casts its sword into the scale for further war, then We know who wears the mask. Ger ma1y's existence is no longer at stake, it is secure; domination over Europe, the Middle Europe design to thrus. the wedge of German power and con- trol between Europe and Asia are equally out of the question Germany is not fighting for those objects, since she knows that they are unattainable. She will keep on fighting. if she does keep on fighting, to save the dynasty, 10 preserve the Prussian military caste from overthrow and destruction For
