THE ASSESSMENT LAW.

Ostensibly the general assessment
act was passed to correct inequalities
in tax assessments, to make taxation
more uniform throughout the state
and to tighten the burden of that class
of taxpayers who have been paying
more than their due proportion of the
costs of government. AS matter of
fact the law was enacted primarily to
get more revenue for the state. This
fact cannot now be denied and no
amount of propaganda in behalf of the
new scheme will prove otherwise.
Four years ago Gov. Tom Rye re-
commended complete change in the
assessment law largely because of the
need of additional revenue. He ap.
pointed very able and distinguished
tax commission to study and report
conditions in the state. This commit
tee met and submitted the most intel
ligent, the best considered and the
ablest report on tax laws ever made
in Tennessee. For the first time the
legislature really had some scientific
and expert knowledge of the complex
and complicated problem of taxation.
But no action was taken. The bill pro-
posed was revised and again present
ed and urged by the governor two
years ago, but without success.
During all this period and for years
previous, in fact since the admins
tration of Patterson, the state has
been spending more money than it has
collected. The result was inevitable,
an increase Of the bonded debt. In

THE ROAD SITUATION.

There should be no further delay in
putting the new road law of Maury
county into full operation. Time is
flying and if the best results are to
be obtained the. organization neces-
sary to give the law a full and fair
trial should be formed without any
delay that is not absolutely unavoid-
able. The legislature has adjourned
and digest of the Stockard law can
be made by the county attorney who
will then be in position to fully ad.
wise the county highway commission
ers sas to any conflict between the
state law and the county act.

who gave the matter the most care

ard law does not materially affect

inal bill making the auto tax in lieu

A MISTAKE.

Senator Louthan, of Sumner county,
may be the most capable man in the
state for statistician of the state board
of tax assessors, but his Appointment,
under the circumstances, is unfortu-
nate. No one will question his integ-
rity or his ability, but it violates the
proprieties to appoint a member ofsthe
legislature to an Office that he was ac-
tive in creating This is the case with
Senator LOTHIAN who was one of the
strongest advocates of the tax assess
ment law.
What is said here with reference to
Senator Louthan applies with equal
force to the proposed appointment Of
members of the senate as road COM
missioners. For Senator Stockard,
prominently mentioned in this connec-
ton, The Herald has the highest re-
spect. He is one Of the really able
members of the legislature, but he is
making mistake in even allowing his
name to be considered in connection
with appointment on the state board.
The same may be said with respect to
Senator Hasten, most capable and
progressive legislator. But his ap-
pointment to an Office he aided in Gre
ating would give rise inevitably to the
suspicion that he was more interested
in his own political fortunes than he
was in the welfare of the state. 1t is
stated that these senators have been
eliminated from consideration by the
governor in view of the fact that their
selection wodld be of doubtful consti-
nationality and it is to be hoped that
this will prove to be the case. y
1t would be much better for the adj
ministraticn and for the general inter-
ests of the state to go entirely outside
the legislature in making appoint
ments.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1919-05-02

his campaign for governor, Judge Rob
erts devoted large amount OF time
to a discussion OF the states finan-
cial problems, promising reduction OF
expenses. But after he entered upon
the discharge of his duties and had
made thorough and painstaking in
vestigation of the states expenditures
he discovered just what. The Herald
had all along contended and that was
that there could be no substantial re-
duction in the expenses Of the state
government. On the contrary 1t is
highly probable that the state will this
year expend more money than 1t ex-
pended last year. Tennessee has not
been extravagantly governed, albeit
some money is wasted, but the major
portion of the state revenue is used
for wholly necessary and laudable pur-
poses. 1t being impossible to reduce
expenses and there already being a
deficit it was inevitable that more rev.
enue must be proided else the state
must continue to meet its current ex
penses by ever recurring issues of
bonds.
1t was then that the plan Of equal
izing" the tax burden so as to pro-
duce more revenue was hit upon.
That there are inequalities in the ex-
listing method of assessing property
will not be denied, but The Herald
does insist that no serious effort would
ever have been made to correct them
unless the state needed more money.
A fairer assessment may be made this
year than last but one thing is certain
and that is that more money will be
collected from the taxpayers under
such an assessment than was collect
ed last year. In other words the fair
assessment plan will be obtained
largely by adding to the values already
fixed. That fact is going to be kept
steadily in mind by the members OF
the board charged with the duty OF
making the assessments. 1t would
avail the administration little to
equalize the burden of taxation If
more revenue had not been secured.
In the meantime the taxpayer who
under a fair and equitable assess
ment contributes ten or twenty per
cent more to the support of the state
than he did when his property was
outrageously and unfairly assessed
will probably be excused if he fails
to write penegyrics or become overly
enthusiastic concerning the virtues
and the BEAUTIES of the new system.

home from England. Their home
coming under such circumstances and
after such lapse OF time can be inn
agined better than described. Think
of it, those who complain If their
boys do not get back Immediately
from the front, these men have been
gone from home more than four
times as long as the average Ameri-
can soldier will be absent from native
land. Many Of them fought in the
first desperate battle of Ypres when
the record Of Canadian valour and de-
votion was written in the blood of
countless thousands of her choicest
sons. They have tasted the bitter
anguish of defeat and they have
known the glories of victory. They
have stood for long and weary months
in the mud of Flanders and hundreds
of them have lost limbs or suffered
for months in hospitals. Unlike their
kindred from England there was new
er chance for them to cross over for
a brief furlough to see loved ones,
never an opportunity for visit home.
These men went voluntarily at the
first call to arms to fight to save moth
er country and civilization. They re-
sponded willingly and countless thous-
ands of their brothers and neighbors
soon made the supreme sacrifice.
They sleep forever beneath the pop
pies of Flanders. Their spirits have
joined the other immortals of histo-
ry who have shed life's blood that the
world might be better place in
which those who came after them
might abide.
With these Canadian contingents
there are many Americans. They dftl
not wait the long and tortuous pro-
cesses of diplomacy and notes and III
timatums. They saw their duty and
saw it with clear and unerring eye
and they crossed the line that they
too might be among the defenders Of
civilization. All honor and glory to
these brave heroes, who were in adj
vance of their nation, but whose WIS.,
ion was clear and who had the faith
and the courage to go where duty de-
manded although it was necessary for
them to fight under foreign flag
The world owes a debt of gratitude
to men like these Americans who left
home and fortune, everything, that
they might join the noble crusaders
who were fighting to uphold the foun-
dations of Christian civilization.
