appealed to the patriotic men and

THIS YEAR FAR ABOVE FOR

Than Ever Before Increasing Book
keeping That viii Be Necessary.
Corporate Assessments.

Including the railroad, telephone
and telegraph property, the taxes to
be collected by the trustee of Maury
county on the tax book for 1919, which
has just been delivered to him by
the county court clerk will be approx
imately }$360,OO0, as compared with
$4,000 the aggregate for last year
The increase comes almost wholly
from the increase in tax rate since
the assessment of the property of the
county has not been materially chang
ed.
The aggregate assessment of the
property of the county exclusive of
the railroad, telegraph and telephone
assessment of $2,1l7,157, is $13,O73,-
200. The following items make up
this aggregate: 4647 town lots val
ued at $2,619,S5O; 376,36S acres of
land valued at $6,495,475; personal
property of $3,957,S75. The grand as
sessment of all property of the coun-
ty is $15,200,0OO
The following are the several items
to be collected by the trustee accord
ing to the books: State tax, $5S,S29-
49,; highway (state) $13,073.20; coun-
ty proper, $39,219.60; school, sos,
40; high school, .$13, 073.20; highway,
S19,94440; sinking fund, $5S,S29. 40;
floating debt, $13,O73.2O; school build
ing fund.- $6,536.60; maintenance state
and federal aid highways, s3,9219G.
Total, $3O2,55S.36! To this should be
added the assessment in public SER
vice corporations, amounting to about
eighteen per cent of the total so that
the aggregate collections of the trus-
tee will be not less than $360,00O for
the coming year. Over $4,000 in poll
taxes have also been assessed.
The aggregate by far exceeds any
thing in the previous history of the
county. There are more separate
funds than ever before which added
very materially to the work required
in making out the books and will add
considerable amount of work to the
trustees bookkeeping activities.

NO REASON FOR IT.

Never in the history of this coun-
try have the people been generally
as prosperous as they are today.
There has never been a time when
work was so easy to obtain and labor
SO hard to find. There is job and
more for every man and woman who
wants to work. There has never
been such opportunity for men and
women to get on in the world as
there is today. Business is thriving
in all lines despite the ominous signs
upon the horizon. Generally speak
ing the able bodied man who is will
ling to work has himself alone to
blame II he is not getting on in this
country. All the bread lines now are
voluntary lines. They are due to the
refusal of men to earn their own
bread by honest toll
And, yet with all this prosperity;
with all the opportunities that the
country affords there is today more
of unrest and discomfort than ever
before known. More troops are being
used to maintain order and to protect
property than ever before in the time
of peace. The expenses of govern
rnent are mounting all the time be-
cause the expenses incident to per-
serving order. All these expenses
are paid by the public and added to
the cost of living. There have been in
progress since the first of the year
on an average more than 100 big
strikes. Practically all lines of bust
ness have been partially paralyzed be-
cause of these strikes and production
has been reduced, all adding to the
cost OF living. A remarkable fact Is
that many, perhaps a majority OF
these strikes, have not been to obtain
more money but out of sympathy with
some other class of workers or to
get recognition" To prove the gen.
eral prosperity Of the country, the
garment workers of Chicago recently
voted quarter of a million dollars
to- the support of the steel workers in
idleness. Ever since Hood wrote the
Song of the Shirt" many tears have
been shed and much. sympathy ex7
pended on the garment workers. But
If they are so prosperous that they
can afford to give quarter of mil
lion dollars to the support of men
who voluntarily laid down their tools
and quit jobs paying them over ST.
900 a year, assuredly many of the
tears and much of public sympathy
have been wasted.
TOO many men and women, too, are
engaged in holding conferences and
meeting and discussing problems
The country would be much better off
n the big army OF men and women
now in session at Washington and
who are constantly meeting to dis
cuss and talk and draft resolutions
were all at work. There is no excuse
whatever for the unrest and discon
tent witnessed on every hand in this
country at this time. If men would
return to their normal lives and go tC
work and work for works sake the
people of America during the next
Ave years would enjoy the largest
measure of prosperity they have
ever known
