Muck is being said about taxes and
property assessments in Granger CO.
unyt, many people seem to think tax
es too high. Perhaps, the rate per
hundred is higher in this than in Thu
Ell East Tennessee counties. But the
reason for this is obvious. The tax
book for the year 1916 shows that
there are 179,875 acres of land in the
county with an assessed valuation of
81 ,416,598, or $7,87 per acre. There is
ia personal property assessment of
$245,7l7. The tax book also shows that
there are only 381 persons in the coun-
ty not including merchants, who pay
tax on an assessment Of $1,000 or more
either personal or real property, or
both.
Think of it! Farm land selling at
from $25 to 5000 the acre and the
owner paying only $7.87 for the priv
ilege Of either selling it at these fig.
ures, or growing two-dollar wheat
and corn and raising 20-cent hogs and
S75-cows. And again! A county in the
fertile mountain section of East Tenn
.essee, with fifteen thousand people,
only 981 of whoIn are paying taxes
on a thousand dollars and upwards.
Each tax payer has a legal right to
an exemption of thousand dollars on
personal property, but, after deduct
ing this amount, where is the rest of
it?
Taking these facts into considera-
ton, and the future facts that the
county is worth at. least six million
dollars, isn't it time to quit kicking
about high taxes and make demand
foE higher assessments?

EBERT APPEALS FOR
DELEGATES SUPPORT
Addfesses 20 Men From Va
rious Parts of Germany.

CoPENHAGEN. Nov. 26-Chancellor
Ebert is reported in a despatch from
the semi-official Wolff Bureau Of Ber-
lin as having addressed yesterday a
conference OF about seventy delegates
from various parts Of Germany, who
gathered in the Chancellor's palace,
and to have urged cooperation from
throughout the former empire in deal
ing with the present situation. The
conference included a few former
diplomatlsts, number OF widely
known Deputies who are now taking
part In the government of the various
States and also several new men,
some Of whom were soldiers or sailors.
The Chancellor in opening the con-
ference said that when the present
Government took charge everything
was in ruins. Now. however, q So
cialist republic had replaced the
monarchy. and power had been put
in the hands OF THE workmen and
soldiers. The first aim to be achieved,
Herr Ebert continued. was, peace and
the Secur.ty of the economic basis.
Every workman and soldier, he de-
clared. must labor to his utmost for
the rebuilding of the State. Liberty
was worthless without food and EN-
ployment, he pointed out, and the
summoning of national assembly was
necessary to secure the cooperation Of
the central administration and the
federated states.
The Cabinet would on Tuesday. said
Herr Ebert, consider a bill for the
election Of a national assembly, but
provisional arrangements must be
Immediately made for the Government
Of the federated empire.
DR.. Solf, the Minister OF Foreign
Affairs declared the situation was
extremely threatening owing both to
the "enemy's will 10 destroy Germany
and the separatist movement In that
country. He based his hope OF solving
the pressing problems upon the con-
ference then In session.
Kurt Eisner. the Bayarian Socialist
Premier, protested sharply that both
Herr Ebert and Dr. Solf were COM
promised by being representatives Of
the old regime.

about the war. 1t was for this reason
that the terms OF Austrias ultimatum

These revelations have been pub

make it difficult for the Entente ma

and taxi counter measures.
Count Won Lerchen.eld said that

CoSsTASTISoPLE, Nov. Eel have
just interviewed Gen. Liman Won SAN
ders, who commanded the German ana
Turkish forces in the Dardanelles and
later in Palestine. Gen. Won Sanders
said he found the British a brave and
chivalrous enemy. He had telegraphed
Won Ludendorff that unless lie re-
ceived reenforcements In Palestine a
debaCle was certain.
Enver Pasha had sent all the avail
able Turkish reserves for the conquest
of the Caucasus, overruling Won San
1ers's protests, The latter twice asked
leaved to resign, but retained his COM
mand at the request Of Berlin.
Gen, Won Sanders did not believe
that an attack on the Dardanelles by
the navy alone could ever have sue
ceeded. owing TO the mines. The func-
ton Of the guns and forts was simply
10 protect the mine fields. He says
he would not have landed at Cape
Helles, as the Anzacs did, but on the
coast OF Asia Minor. thus attacking
the rear OF the Dardanelles forts,
which can only fire seward. He would
also have landed on the neck OF the
GallipoI peninsula close to the Bulair
lines He had expected the British to
land at Bulair.
lie says the Dardanelles campaign
had many critical periods when the
Turks were in grave danger. He
agreed to the wisdom OF the English
decision to evACuate ehe peninsula as
the Turks had been constantly rein
forced and had twenty-one divisions.
He says the British withdrawal was
well executed
The Turks advancing in the fog on
a broad front following the with
drawing British, stumbled on British
land mines and suffered heavy losses
Ninety land mines were found in front
Of one Turkish division. He says al
though knowing the British evacua-
ton was imminent he never had been
able to guess the day OF the actual
movement.
