kind that has made Southern homes

The one serious drawback to the

Gus sickness Of that prince of good
fellows, Albert Hare.
Our home during the meeting was
with c. 7. Roberts and the Hare
brothers. Both homes are synonyms

the Misrepresentation. 1t has all come
of the miserable system of assess
ments in which property has been
greatly undervalued.
And nothing has been saved to the
taxpayers as a whole. The state must
have the revenue, and when there is
under assessment there must be in
crease in rate.
The Maryville Enterprise is happy
in the thought that Blount county's
assessments will be multiplied. This
says the Enterprise, means much to
investors. With ajax rate of nearly
4 per cent, the investment Of funds
IN mills, factories, business blocks,
homes and farms does not offer an
inviting inducement to people with
money. In the future, investigation
may show that we have tax rate Of
little over ! per cent, and that will
look good to those seeking a live COM
munity for investment"
The Enterprise also notes the adj
vantage that will be gained in selling
Improvement bonds when the proper
ty values of the county are properly
listed and credit is granted on that
score.
I'm reality there is no change"
the Enterprise says, "but we are get
ting down to an honest appraisement
Of what we are"
That is the correct way to look at
the new plan, and it will so present
itself to the progressive and intelli-
gent citizen, and one who believes in
equality Of the tax burden and doesn't
wish to escape his share.
The proposed equalization is not to
be made by raising assessments on
farm lands only. That is a prejudic-
ed and unwarranted idea that the po-
litical cliques, with schemes more sell
fish than patriotic, are trying to
spread. The new plan will make
some large corporations pay taxes
that they have heretofore escaped,
and and city property, as well as
farm property will come under the
general equalization plan. The pur-
pose is to have values correctly re-
corded and assessments duly proper
tionate, with nothing invidious or dis
criminative anywere. 1t will neces-
sarily prove to the states great adj
vantage, and consequently to the adj
vantage of every county, community
and individual within the state who
gets his honest due and meets his
honest share Of the great burden

if we mistake not, is the fellow who

THE NEW ASSESSMENT LAW.

The work OF reassessing Blount
county's real and personal estate is
progressing nicely. The process nee
essarily is slow, and when the work is
finished it will be SO satisfactory that
the legislature of 1919 will be called
blessed" by the present as well as by
the generations to come.
Tennessee is one of the richest
stats in the union outside of the East
ern states, where great corporations
and banking institutions help make
up the wealth. On paper, Tennessee
has been one Of the poorest and most
uninviting states in the entire union.
With the reassessment of the real and
personal property Of the state on a
fair and honest basis it is going to
enable the state and every county in
the state to look up as it associates
with it's neighbors and feel that it
stands high in the nations esteem.
For statesmen, soldiers, writers,
preachers and beautiful women, Ten
nessee always has ranked high, but
financialy--well, the soft pedal must
be put on when financial Tennessee is
being considered.
Under the new assessment Blount
county will be shown worth perhaps
thirty-five million dollars or more.
The other counties of the State will
be likewise changed. Our present
valuation is about four million seven
hundred thousand. The change means
that to raise the same funds that we
now raise for pixies, schools, charities,
bridges and state funds we can do it
on an assessment of a little more
than one percent, instead of having
it nearly four. And instead Of being
a large area valued at four million
seven hundred thousand dollars, we
are worth thirty-five million or more.
This means much to investors. With
a tax rate of nearly four per cent. the
investment of funds in mills, manu-
factories, business blocks, homes and
farms, does not offer an inviting in
ducement to people with money. In
the futere Investigations will show
that we have tax rate of little
more than one per cent, perhaps, and
that will look mighty good to people
who are seeking live community in
which to invest their money.
Again, when it comes to selling i'm
provement bonds county valued at
thirty-five million dollars, with one
million dollars Of Indebtedness, will
make much better showing than a
county with four million seven hun
dred thousand with million debt.
In reality, three is no change, but
we are getting down to an honest ap-
praisement of what we are. The mon
ey that will be paid by the individual
in taxes in the future will be about
the same as in the past, but the APP
pearance we make will be greatly i'm
proved.-Maryville Enterprise.

Equalized Assessments.

An editorial article from the Mary
vile Enterprise, reproduced on this
page, takes an intelligent, proper and
advanced view of the new assessment
law that the Banner wishes to COM
mend to the people Of the state gener-
ally. The view seemingly prevalent
in some Tennessee localities is pref
udieed, eramped and non-progressive
