We thel members OF the Byrds-
town bar at Byrdstown. Tennessee,
give our unqualified Endorsement to
the candidacy Of Hon. w. R. Officer
for Chancellor of the Fourth Chan
Gerry Division.
Our long acquaintance with him
qualify us to testify of his sterling
and surprising qualities as a man, a
lawyer and jurist. His natural en-
dowment and acquired knowledge of
thej law and his lofty conception of
duty and the energy and fearlessness
with which he always addresses him
self to it's performance, are all so
finely and fifty combined in him the
ideal man for Chancellor AS such
official he would always be just and
his Judgment be tempered with mer-
cy.
We believe he would SO administer
the office as to be classed among the
ablest and best Chancellors the State
has produced.
This October /, 1917.
Very truly,

MORGAN COUNTY, TOO

The following resolutions adopted
by Democratic mass meeting in Nor
gan County, July %, 1917.
I'm elevating Judge Roberts to the
Governorship it becomes the duty of
the people of the Fourth Chancery
Division to select his successor. We
want man who can and will meas.
ure up to the high standard set by
Judge Roberts and his immediate pre-
decessors. We want to maintain the
present efficiency and high standard
of our Chancery Court and to con-
tinue to make it the safeguard of the
peoples rights and equities.
We regard Hon. w. R. Officer of
Livingston, Tennessee, an acceptable
and available man for this position.
We therefore join together in one
unanimous appeal and urge him to
become the candidate of the Demo
cratic party for Chancellor of the
Fourth Chancery Division. We know
him to be man of judicial poise
and temperament, in every respect
fitted to discharge the duties Of the
office. He has the capacity to grasp
and understand facts, and knows
how to apply them to meet all con-
ditions and circumstances, consis-
tent with the law that Is applicable.
In he event of his candidacy we
pledge him our most hearty and 10y
al support.-Advt

2,31O AUTOMOBILES
!. N AAM|LT0 COUNTY
One Car Owned Here for Every Ten
People-0ne to Twelve Ratio
in the State.

! w. S. Allen, secretary of state
last week sent to the general as
sembly a statement showing that
Iowa had 19S,5S7 automobiles reg.
istered in 1916 and that the auto
owners paid $1,679,924 in fees to the
state.
The report shows that Iowa has
one car for every twelve persons liy.
ing in the state.
The general assembly called for q
statement of the number of cars and
revenue received in order to determ.
inc what counties are paying in the
most of the revenue and what coun.
ties are getting the greatest benefits
under the present system of divid-
ing the fund according to number
Of townships.
1t shows that siXty-two out of the
ninety-nine counties draw more
from the fund than they pay in.
AS iCpOlt oAOW0 lLC cAuCL
ber of cars owned in each county.
This is the first official count of cars,
by counties, ever made in Iowa.
Hamilton county has 2,31O auto
mobiles, which is one car for each
ten people. At least half the fami-
lies of this county own car. This
showing speaks well for the prosper
ity Of our people. Look over the
record and it will be noticed that
where land is poor and cheap the
number Of cars are comparatively
small. The average license rate paid
in 1916 was $S.45 per car and if
Hamilton county paid the average,
which Is very likely, We paid the
state $19,519. County Treasurer
Hughes received from the state in
auto taxes $14,S6S. This is not an
equitable division of the auto tax
fund and the legislature ought to
change the method of apportion-
ment.
