FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION

We notice that some communi
ties in West Tennessee are taking
advantage Of the recent act of con.
gress, authorizing the organization
of farm loan associations, to put
themselves in a position to reap
benefit from this law. We talked
the other day with very intelli-
gent man, who is large land
owner and also business man. who
has taken pains to inform himself
on this question and who is forci.
bly, convinced that no more impor.
tant act has been passed BY con.
gress in many years. He thinks
an association should be formed at
once in Carroll county and insists
that such an organization, prop
erly managed, would prove OF
great value not only to the farmers
who become members of it but of
the entire community as well.
During the recent, campaign
there was disposition among
some politicians to belittle this act
and cry it down. This bad a ten
dency to prejudice some people
against the law. 1t should not do
so, however, for those who at.
tempted to make this impression
were quite evidently doing So for
political effect. The question, to
say the least of 1t, is one of suffi.
Gent importance to command the
serious attention OF farmers who
want TO borrow money for the
purpose of land purchase, farm
development and the funding If
farm Indebtedness.
1t is believed by many we'll IN
formed men that when tie system
is got to working we'll the South
will prosper greatly in con~c.
quence of her opportunity of get
ting money cheap to buy and I'M.
prove farms of this section. Why
not Carroll county take an adj
vanced step along this line.

bankrupt the county. His farm
was assessed at 5000, The propo-
sitiOn would have cost him. over
what he is now paying. about 81
a year, the price of three dozen
of eggs. His wife could have paid
the sum in three weeks selling
eggs and had a good road TO mar
ket them over.
There are 1886 town lots in
carroll county, valued at $1,0l8,-
SO, and the personal property,
after dedacting the 81, 900 exemp-
ton, is $145, AGA. The total aggre-
gate of the value Of farm land and
town lots and personal property is
$S. 1885, 1854.
In 1896, twenty years ago, the
number of acres of land assessed
was 3Gl ,225, valued at 81, III, 1874,
This was about $3.50 an acre. In
the twenty years the total assess
ment has increased $661.641. and
the average per acre has increased
.$1.65.
This increase, it is clearly seen,
is not in proportion to the increase
10 the real value of the land. The
land value has advanced not less
than 60 per cent, while this shows
an increase of only about 30 per
cent.
The demand on the county have
increased more rapidly than the
advance in property assessment,
and to meet these demands the
rate of taxation had to de increas-
ed, which accounts for the high
taxes complained of. If land was
assessed at go per cent if its real
value, and all personal property
reported and taxed as the law re-
quires, the tax rate in Carroll
county would not be over $l.00
instead of $l.60 as it now is.

COUNTY TAXES

There are 1865. 1874 acres of farm

It's big full-sized five-passenger car
with all the room you want. It's built like

reasonable price and you cannot afford to

HOME GUARDS
WILL ORGANIZE
TOMORROW NIGHT

|. Those interested in the formation
of a company of Home Guards are ad
vised that a meeting for that purpose
will be held tomorrow Thursday
evening at the band stand in the
Park. Should rain interfere, as it did
last Saturday night, the meeting will
be held in the City Hall.
The following communication from
Capt. W. Y. Carter gives some in
formation relative to the movement
which will be of interest:
Near Lakeland. June 26, 1917.
Editor Telegram: Please permit
me to call the attention of those who
are contemplating the formation Of
Home Guard; that all able bodied
white men, between the age of Is
and 60 are eligible to membership.
The law provides that not more
than $50 men shall be enlisted in one
company The officers shall consist
of Captain and 1st Lieutenant,
! and there may be two 2nd Lieuten-
/ ants. My opinion is that the provis-
ion for two 2nd Lieutenants is wise
one provided the company shall reach
the maximum number allowed 15O
and of this fact | feel assumed be-
cause of the large number who have
and of this fact | feel assured be-
come members. All should under
stand that this organization if formed
will be for service in Polk County
and in no case. are they to be sent
outside of the county. This fact,
however should not tempt those who
are too feeble on account of age, or
from other causes, to join. All those
who registered on June the 5th are
eligible to membership in the Home
Guards.
This however. will not prevent any
one from volunteering in the regu
lar army, National Guards nor from
being drafted to serve in the select
army. If any should enter the ser
, vice in either of the way mentioned
, their membership in the Home Guard
, would thereby cease; so let none OF
, the younger men join. under any mis-
, apprehension of the facts.
4 will be with you Thursday even
a ing at 1880 o'clock, prepared to giv'
4 any further information desired ant
to assist in every possible way in tn
formation of the company.
Now, let me urge all those VIII
