ADV ANTAGES OF
NEW TAX LAW

OF 'he State Equalizing Board.
The news article was published by
us last week, but the Banners ed
itorIal is too lengthy for us to use
I'VE invite your particular at
tentlon to the enclosed news article
which appeared ia the Nashville
Banner under date of August 6
and enclosed editorial from the
Banner commenting on same.
I'VE appreciate the power and
lntiuence of the press in moulding
public opinion along right lines
and we are appealing to your pa
trlotism for help in creating a
sound and healthy public sentiment
III Tennessee, favorable to a fair
and honest assessment of the prop
erty of the State. We have entered
upon the work of making such an
assessment and we will take no
backward step until we have ac-
complished the task and until we
have seen the good old fashioned
Democratic doctrine of equal and
exact justice to all and especial
privileges to none, scientifically
applied to the assessments of prop
erty in this State.
"We will have the cooperation
of all the County Assessors, be-
cause this is going to be their as
sessment under the supervision of
this board, aided by the assistant
tax statisticians who are summons
ing witnesses in every ward and
civil district of the State for the
purpose of establishing by CON-
petent and high class testimony
the value of each piece of property
and of all kinds of property in the
State; and while this is going on,
steps are being taken to bring the
assessments of the property of
merchants, bankers, manufacturers
corporations and of every other
description of property to the ba-
sis of a fair and honest assessm ent.
Tbo property belonging to all of
the railroads of the State, to the
electric railway companies, street
car companies, gas companies,
electric light companies and in
fact, all public utility companies
com panies will also be assessed on
a like basis.
"We are going to found the
assessment on the broad principles
of Justice and right and appeal to
every taxpayer and to every good
citizen, whether he is tax payer
or not. to help us establish an
assessment that will stand upon
its merits and one that will rebound
to the honor and credit of the
State and will secure justice and
fair treatment for every taxpayer,
regardless of their poverty or
their wealth.
"We know that the editors OF
our newspapers know how to edu-
cate the public to a clear under
standing of the duty of patriotic
and progressive citizens in this
yital emergency of the State and
we are appealing to you to enlist
in this work for the advancement
Of the welfare, the honor and
credit of the State. We would be
clad if you would lay before your
readers in full, or in substance
the matter contained in the en-.
closed clippings and if you would
Give publicity from time to time
70 such matter as in judgement,
would aid the cause. If you have
any suggestions to make that
would aid us in our work, we would
ba nleased to have the benefit OF
such suggestions and if you can
Dive us your cooperation, we feel
that YOU would be serving your

LIKE MATTY, LANNIN
IS CHECKER EXPERT
Magnate One Of Most Capable
Players In Country.
Long Before Owner Of Boston Red sox
Ever Thought Of Becoming Owner
Of Champion Baseball Team
He Was Checker Fan.

Baseball fans have heard so much
| about the experiences Of Christy
Mathewson In checkers they have been
led to believe that Big Six is without
q rival In the ranks Of organized
! baseball. Such is not the case, how
ever, for Joseph j. Lannin, erstwhile
owner of the Boston Red Sox and lead
ing spirit in the International league,
when he is in practice can give Chris
ty the game Of his life at the checker
board.
Long before Lannin became identi-
fed with baseball he was a checker
fan. Not only did he indulge In the
game for his amusement and pas
time, but he backed with his bankroll
some of the leading checker players In
the United States.
Long before Mr.. Lannin ever thought
of becoming the owner Of q worlds
champion baseball team his thoughts
were on checkers. He was only
eighteen years old when his interest
turned to the game up in Massachu-
sctts. He soon perfected his play to
such a degree that he vanquished all
the so-called country store champions
In the locality. Then he set about to
conquer the champs Of the towns In
the immediate vicinity. AS a mem
her of the Boston Checker club ne
COX part In q great number OF club
matches and often Travelled long dis
ances to see matches played. Less
titan ten years ago he travelled from
Boston to Toledo to watch a match In
which a player he had backed was en-
gagged. He was rewarded for his pains
by seeing his player lose.
Mr.. Lannin has always believed
that checkers were In no small way
responsible for the success of Mathew
son on the pitching mound. Big Six

pit against him. In the inter-alied
tourney he scored seven knockouts In
eight fights. He must have some
thing of a punch.
The ten million fighting men who
say Martin should be recognized
champion of the world give their
reasons:
Martin enlisted in the infantry and
fought eighteen months against the
Boches. He received not a penny
and had no manager to look out for
him. He fought twenty-eight fights.
Dempsey served his country by
working in a shipyard and won the
title by topping over Jess Willard.
who had beef in retirement for sew
eral years.
Roper and Burke, who were un-
fortunate in not being sent overseas.
now say that Martin should meet
them first and give them a chance
at the title he won in France. And
these two worthless probably will
have their wish gratified, for Pro-
moter Hinkel figures these matches
between the opponents Of the army
style of milling will make a big hit
with the fans.

has visited home folks and rested up
a bit from the last few years of hard
campaigning overseas. he'll be Offer
ed matches. Matt Hinkel, famous
referee and promoter, has already
made a bid for Martins services. He
wants the soldier champ to show in
his home town, Akron, first. He
wants to match him with another
soldier boxer-either Captain Bob
Roper or Sergeant Jack Burke. Hin
KEEL was anIou to get him for Labor
Day, put the short space of time in
tervening probably will prevent this.
But If not Labor Day then a date
shortly after will be offered Martin.
Undoubtedly his first fight will be in
Akron.
Martin is t%wenty-one years old and
stands 6 feet 2 inches. He weighs
100 pounds. Captain Roper is twen-
ty-four years old and weighs 100
pounds.
Martin won the championship Of
the army by battling in twenty-eight
fights against the best in the Amer

Bob Martin because they watched
him wade through the biggest boxers
of all the allied forces and they
know he has a fighting heart and
isn't afraid of anything human.
Bob Martin fought for his country
for the soldiers wage, but now that
the val Is over and Martin has his

rubber works in Akron to earn his

something better. He is a ~full-fiedged

To the growing youth Of America
the Prince Of Wales yesterday issued

Scouts Of America to circulate among
their comrades and friends:
"Boy Scouts and Girl Guides OF

ing more American Scouts and
Guides, but that must wait until my
next visit.
"Meanwhilc. | wish to say one
thing to you: Value your training
as scouts and guides, for the more
you value it, the greater will be
your own value to your country and
your friends. Never hunt with your
selves, but hunt with tho pack. Put
your country always first, and above
ali things, be good Americans. The
better Americans you are the bet
ter friends you will be to your
