unionizins the Press

Even more sinister than the strike
of policemen is the unionization of re-
porters and news editors on daily
papers.
1t is an appalling fact that men who
gather the news, edit it and write the
headlines have been organized into
unions, which are to be affiliated it IS
said, with the American Federation
of Labor.
The likes and dislikes, ambitions
and prejudices Of reporters may creep
into and to some extent color the
news stories they write, and it is the
office of a desk or news editor to de-
eide what part of a story, submitted
by the reporter, shall be published
and what sections and portions of 1t
shall be omitted At his discretion
he changes and even reconstructs the
phraseology. He writes the head
lines, giving greatest prominence TO
the news that impresses him as of
most importance, and he may give the
least space and smallest headings to
information that is OF vital import
ance
Well has it been said that although
editorials never yet elected a Presi-
dent. news columns have.
THE newspaper says one authori-
ty, has gradually grown up into a
powerful political as well as social en-
CINE, diffusing information on all sub
iects of interest. circulating advertise
'ments, and acting on the public mind.

that has led it to be called a fourth es
tate of the realm"
1t as much concerns the public wei
fare that the news be prepared by I'M
prejudiced writer's as that the laws
be enforced by unprecedented policee-
men. Through its influence on public
opinion any manipulation of the news
may be made to work tremendous
harm 4f
Editorial writer's have been unani
nous in condemning the action of
those members of the Boston police

DELEGATES GATHER FOR
INITIAL CONFERENCE
CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvEN-
TON THEIR THEME.
Outline of Some of the Main
Features of the Proposed
New Constitution.

Nashville. July 1O.-(Special.)-
Several hundred delegates will at
tend the preliminary conference or
the calling OF a constitutional con.
vention in Nashville through an cleo.
ton to be held on Sept. 4, which will
be held in the hall OF representatives
at the state capitol this afternoon al
o'clock. The various county courts
, OF the state have sent representatives
and the general public has been in
vited to attend.
The conference will be presided
over by Seth NJ. Walker. former
speaker OF the house OF representa-
( tives. and Gov. Roberts will deliver
the welcome. Col. j. II. Acklen, of
Nashville, will deliver an address,
setting forth the aims OF the conven =
ton and the need for constitutional
reform.
Delegates TO the conference already
arrived in Nashville are of the opin-
ion that the constitutional conven-
ton, when held, must be absolutely
nonpartisan and nonpolitical.
Matter OF Taxation.
The question of taxation will be
discussed from every angle at the
conference, and the needs of the state
for new tax laws will be pointed out.
This feature will consume the major
portion of the consideration OF the
delegates who are here to find out the
needs of the state and to take the
message back to their counties with
the hope OF bringing about a consti-
fntinnal convention hxfv fNf
ular approval at the ballot box on
Sept. 4.
Advocates of a constitutional con-
vention contend that the whole sys-
tenn of taxation in Tennessee is based
upon the wrong idea They claim
that the law which requires tax as
SCISSORS to assess real estate and per-
sonal property at its cash valuation
Is not respected, and the uniform
property tax is based upon the the
DRY that every kind OF property, re-
CARELESS of character or condition,
shall be taxed in proportion TO value
and by uniform method and rate.
Uniformity of valuation is the i'm
peritive requirement, they assert.
Uniformity OF method produces the
most inequalities, IL is claimed. Tax
alton by classification is held as alb
solutely essential to the prosperity Of
the state.
Anticipating the proposed conven-
ton, the advocates of the changes In
the fundamental laws of Tennessee
will suggest the following constitu-
tional clauses this afternoon for con-
Uniform Assessment.
'The power of taxation shall never
be surrendered, suspended or con-
tracted away. All taxes shall be uni
form upon the same class OF property
within territorial limits of the au-
thority levying the tax. and shall be
levied and collected for public pur-
poses only.
Taxes shall be levied and collected |

mits that had the ancient German
despotic rule won, Italy would have
never been forgiven but that the new
Germany is ready to forget the past

Count Bernstorff failed to arouse
any great enthusiasm among the
Italians for the proffered forgive
ness.
But the Germans have not been
asleep in Italy. Already German
goods are finding their way into the
italian markets. A Milan newspaper
recently announced that a large
shipment of German jewelry had been
received at the frontier destined for
all parts of Italy. German printing
products, tourist guidebooks and
stationery have been on display in
shop windows for weeks. Some of
them were prewar stock but by far
the greater part is new.

Middle Tennessee Normal in
Session at Murfreesboro.
Program of Conference.

Murfreesboro, July 10.-(Special.)
The county superintendent OF
Middle Tennessee have met in an
nual conference at the Middle Ten
nessee State Normal for a two days
program. There is a representative
| attendance present and keen inter-
est is manifested.
The fact that every county super
intendent with the exception Of about
two Is looking for teachers indicates
shortage in the teaching profession
the like of which has not been hith-
erto experienced. If the prewar
standard for the qualifications of
teachers is re- established, there is no
question but that many schools in the
state will remain untaught. The rea-
son for this condition Is due to the
fact that during the war wages in
every line of human endeavor have
advanced with the increased cost of
living, except in the profession of
teaching. If the public does not pro-
vide more funds for the better pay
ment of teachers the schools of the
future will retrograde rather than go
forward. The shortage of teachers,
