Following statement today pointed
out this defect In the bill.
The revenue bill contains a nro.
vision for taxation which amounts
To an assessment against proner,v
ana not tax on incomes.
Il refer to section 20l. which nro-
vides that 70. the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the gain derived from the
sale OF real or personal propcrtv tho
oasis shall be the fair market price
or value Of such property in the case
OF property acquired before March
1913, the price or value on that date
tMarch /, 1879 and in the case OF
property acquired on or after that
date, the cost thereof, or inventory
value.
This section declares that any
gain in sale OF property over the pur-
chase prlce OF II the property was
bought before March /, 1913. the
value on that date shall he Consid-
ered income for 1915 and subject TO

levied under this bill. An example
VIII clearly illustrate my statement
A FARMER buys farm for $2,50O on
March !, 1913. Five years later, on
March ], 1918, he sells this farm for
$4,000. Mr.. Kitchin says that the dif-
ference between $1,000. the sale
price, and $4,000. the purchase price,
which is $500, in income profit and
shall be added TO the income of the
farmer and taxed.
This Is a levy against properly
and not tax on income. The ex-
change or commodity value of the
dollar has shruLk so per cent in five
years. ! In 1913 dollar would pur-
chase ~ mucn as 81 will buy today.
This Ii the same thing as saying
prices have riser 100 per cent since
1918, which, Of course, we all realize
to be true. Now. when the farmer
wishes TO sell the farm which he
bought in 1913 for $500, he must
receive 5000 as the selling price in
order TO be able TO use this money
on he wishes to spend ~ in securing
the same amount OF commodities now
which he could have bought for
$500 In 1913.
THE revenue bill Is fatally defec-
tive in not recognizing the great in
crease in prices OF everything during
the last five years. No income tax
should be levied on the proceeds OF
sales OF property held over period
OF years until an increase over the
purchase price is estimated. CORE

ANOTHER FOX EXPLORES
IC|TY OF COLUMBIA
RAMBLED AROUND THE PUBLIC
SQUARE AND THEN DEPART
ED TOWARD SOUTH.

Another fox has made an explora-
ton of the business district of Co.
lumbia since the publication of the
report that two foxes were observed
crossing the Duck river bridge into
the city. II the whole store is not
told about this fox, it might be
thought that he was scout from the
fox dens to ascertain whether any Of
the National fox hunters had made
their appearance liz Columbia for the
big meet next November.
About month ago a big red fox
was observed on the public square
late in the night. He surveyed the
courthouse and made minute in
spection of the lay of the land. Then
he trotted down West Seventh street
to Garden and departed toward the
south.
This fox, however, did not come into
the city Of his own violition. He had
been captured by a friend of Col. r.
F. Moore and was being kept in cage
at the Moore stables on West Seventh
street while an effort was being made
to secure mate for him. The pair
was to be shipped to an Alabama
friend of Col. Moore, who desires to
establish fox farm to raise Maury
county foxes. The cage was not suf-
ficient to hold Mr.. Reynard. so he
made mis- escape and in the future will
find his own mates without the as
of man.

This check was for the poultry load

and paying for the feed. II there has
ever been higher price paid for car

These poultry cars carry from 49,.

This particular car was loaded with
choice fat hens raised by the farmers

People in the Southern section Of
Maury county are going to make a
determined effort to have the old
schedule on the Decatur AccOmmo-
dation Of the L. & N. railroad re-
stored. This train has been ARBITRARILY
est up full hour simply to accommo-
date the new schedule to Sheffield
and in utter disregard of the interests
of the people South of Columbia.
Running the train full hour earlier
will greatly interfere with the attend
ance Of children at the County High
school. Ever since that institution
was established the fifth or Culleoka
district has had the largest number of
pupils Of any district in the county
outside of Columbia. Now in order
to meet the train on the new schedule
in the winter time many of these boys
and girls will have to leave home be.

County Superintendent Graham
realizes fully the situation as it's af
fects the schools and is going to
make rigorous protest. Even could
the pupils in winter get to the train
before daylight, they would reach Co
lumbia an hour before school begins
and many parents would seriously OBJ
ject to this.
The change in the train, so far as
can be ascertained, was made solely
that the new train to Sheffield might
not arrive in Nashville too close to
the arrival of the Decatur accommo-
dation. No one has been able to see
any war necessity for making the
change, If they can be assured that
the necessities of the nation make the
change essential there will be no fur
Their kick.
The change will also seriously af-
feet the trade from South of the city
of the Columbia merchants. The
larger portion Of the train shoppers in
Columbia come from South of town
Changing the schedule will make it
more difficult for the women of
Lynnville and Culleoka to get to Co.
lumbia and will make the day here
much longer. 1T isE therefore probable
that the Columbia business men will
also make a protest.
