4. Townley last night went before the
plea for united action to enact the
league program by February 20. The
greater part of his address was given

entire caucus membership into line
for the passage of the administra-

1t is known that the league members
are dividing. t-
Governor Frazier, ina brief address
given before Townley was called upon,
told the farmer legislators that spe-
cial session would be called later,
and he asked them to save the ex-
penses for that session out Of the
present session.
Trouble Foresccn.

in the caucus. There have been COM
plants, for instance, against centering
control of all state industrial activities

the governor. There have been a
few complaints about many other

come so insistent that Townley was

For over two years. he continued,
"she had suffered from stomach troub.

absolutely essential to prevent pres
ent day progress and prosperity, and
we sincerely trust that there will be
no backward step taken in this re-
gard, but that the movement so aus
piciously inaugurated by the present
governor of Tennessee will be car
ried to a successful conclusion.
Resolved, That believing that the
owners of railroads in time of peace
can operate the lines of road more to
the interest and convenience of the
public than can the government, we
recommend that lines of transporta-
ton be returned to the control of
their former owners at the earliest
practicable moment.
Resolved, That we commend the ad-
vanced movement of the state towards
a higher education in all lines, fully
realizing that the day has come when
farmers need to be educated to the
highest degree possible.
Be it further resolved, That we ex-
tend to the citizens of Columbia and
Maury county appreciation for the
many courtesies extended to the del
egates to this convention, and for
their persistent efforts to have every
member secure a pleasant home.

nally worked out in this county as an
experiment and which has been ap.
piled in the As other counties.
Mr.. Louthan said that a period Of
unrest and misunderstanding is to
be expected while the new law is be-
ing put into effect, but that the criti-
cism and opposition had been much
less than had been anticipated by the
board In every county in which the
work has been completed according
to Mr.. Louthan, it has met with prac-
tically universal approval He said
that everywhere, as soon as the oper-
alton of the law are understood, the
criticism of it ceases.
In explaining the law, Mr.. Louthan
said that the tax rate is fixed by law
on a sliding scale, that there can be
no increase in the rate under the pres
ent law, because the rate has al
ready been fixed and will rise and fall
in proportion to the aggregate as
sessment of the state. A two billion
dollar assessment under the law
would not produce any more revenue,
he said. than one billion dollar as
sessment. because the tax rate had
already been fixed so as to make that
operation possible.
Mr.. LOTHIAN said that one class of
property that has been escaping tay-
alton to a large extent in some sec
tions of the state is that of large cor
porations, which soon will be reas-
sessed by corporation bureau that
is now being formed by the equaliza-
tion board Millions of dollars of as
sessable property will be added to the
tax books of the state, he said, with
out doing injustice to the corporations
that will be required to pay their just
taxes.
In sending representatives of the
board TO Maury county to make the
assessments of the state at this time,
the board is but putting into effect
the system that was formulated after
the experimental investigation that
was made here several weeks ago.
The same thing has already been
done, said Mr.. Louthan with eminent
satisfaction to all, in As other coun-
ties.
Mr.. Louthan expressed it as his
opinion that the next legislature will
enact the personal property tax law
that was defeated in the last legisla-
ture, with perhaps few minor amend
ments. This, he thought, would give
Tennessee a tax system as nearly
perfect as ittisapossible to create un-
der existing conditions.

yon bill No. 2202; Therefore, be it
Resolved by the Middle Tennessee
Farmers Institute, now assembled at
Columbia, Tenn, That we are unal-
terably opposed to these bills, and
we protest their enactment, and call
upon our senators and congressman to
use their influence against these bills.
This legislation as proposed in
these bills, is drastic, a step toward
paternalism and government control
of our commercial industries.
We are urged on every hand to in
crease the production of food animals,
but the cost of production has greatly
increased, and we feel that we should
have free and unhampered markets
for our live stock; the proposed leg
islation will impede progress in the
packing house industry in the South
hamper our business, and tend to re-
ducing prices for food animals without
reducing the cost to the consumer
Not only do we oppose this legisla-
ton, but any legislation that tends
toward paternalism we feel that there
is no place in the greatest democracy
of the world for paternalism.
Be it further resolved, That the
secretary of this institute be and is
hereby instructed to communicate a
copy of this resolution to the sena
tors and congressman from this state
who are in Washington.
Resolved, That this convention
heartily endorses the administration
