Special to Times : Republican.

Des Moinea, Oct 1.-Several hun
dred delegates from labor unions and
from farmers organizations are ex-
pected to attend the conference which
opened here today to discuss market
conditions and the high cost OF living.
The delegates particularly want to
find a reason. II possible, for the wide
difference In what the farmer receives
for much Of his produce and what the
consumer pays
This conference was planned during
the state fair, when Fred Garfield.
,president OF the Iowa Federation Of
Labor. took 1t up with county agents
and representatives Of other farmer
organizations. Each labor union and
each farmer organization is expected
70 send one or two delegates.
These delegates are coming with
facts which they have dug up since
the meeting was first called. Labor
union men in many cities have been
making lists Of common articles Of
produce which they have to buy and
the farmer delegates will bring q list
this class Of produce. Who gets the
long profit rs the question.
/ Consumer Inquisiti~s.
Instances Of where consumers in
emptying baskets Of peaches have
found notes in the bottom of the bas-
kets asking the buyer to notify the
grower how much he paid for the
peaches have been printed in the pa
pers in recent weeks This has evil
denced feeling on the part OF the
producer that he was being psid too
little and the ultimate consumer was
paying too much and that the middle
men were getting too much of the
profits.
It IL possible some sort Of a Joint
organisation may be formed with rep
resentattves In every county in the
state thru which information may be
obtained as to supplies Of produce and
the demand for same In tho larger cit
les and q cooperative marketing plan
may be undertaken.

of the silver, although they were not

NOTICE TO ELECTION OFFICERS

The Obion County Election Com
missioners take this method of ad-
vising you that the last Legislature
passed a law that makes it a mis-
demeanor for any person who has
been duly appointed as clerk, officer
or Judge of any legal election to fail
to serve.
This law also requires the Chair
man of the Election Commission to
furnish the Grand Jury of the Coun-
ty with certified list of those per-
sons so appointed, and who fail to
serve, in order that they may be in
dicted under the law.
If any official is sick ON the day of
election and can furnish the Chair
man with a physicians certificate to
that effect, or other adequate proof
thereof, the Chairman is authorized
to omit his name from the list to be
sent to the Grand Jury.

Fooling Ourselves.

We are sorry that Congress has not
the necessary votes to pass the day
light saving bill over the head of the
president. This daylight saving bill
is upon it's face a fake. Under it
everybody fools himself into the be-
lief that something is that is not. 1t
is inconvenient for more things than
it is help to things.
Under the bill we doubt that sim
gle pound of added food was pro-
cured or that there was an extra
ounce of energy put into the produc-
ing labor of the country. 1t is in line,
however, with motion in this coun-
try that legislation can alter any

Death of Mrs. w. A. Pursley.

Mrs. Blanche Pursley, wife of w.
A. Pursley, died in Nashville at the
City View Sanitarium on Saturday,
August 16, at IL o'clock. Mrs. Pur-
slcy had not been we'll for number
of years and was at the sanitarium
for treatment when she contracted
pneumonia.
Deceased was the daughter OF
Josiah and Nancy Chitwood, born in
Dyer County August 8, 1852. She
was united in marriage to Mr.. Pur-
slcy November "a, 1874. Three chill
dren were born to them, only one, Mr..
Noel M. Pursley, surviving. She is
also survived by brother, DR.. Chit
wood, at Mount Pelia, Tenn, and Mrs.
Chitwood, her mother, who resides
with Dr. Chitwood.
Mrs. Pursley has been member of
tho Methodist Church for many years,

hobeth congregation in Dyer County.

Other details are not now essential,
Chapter 2 Is. B. 781 the sliding

cents on the 500, but provides:
where assessed values reach nine and
not over ten million dollars, the rate
shall be 5Sh cents. From twelve to

fourteen to fifteen millions 38A

tain corporations and person therein

not essential to this article.

commcndable frankness, eve have
entered upon the work of making
such an assessment and wc will take
no backward STEP" Assistant tax

es in every ward and civil district of
the state to establish by competent
and reliable proof the balance of each
piece of property"
Assessments in no instance APP
counties are assessed as low as IA
per cent other as high as 68 per cent"
In East Tennessee thirty-thrce
counties average 80 per cent, Middle
thirty-nine counties 80 per cent, West
twenty counties "a per cent. State
average 80 per cent.
Farmers are now face to face with
the fact that their farms are going
TO be assessed at cash value, i. e.,
400 per cent. This, Including other
realty, will probably bring total as
Eessments on real estate to $1,70O,000
600 or $4,000, 900, 900.
If the provisions of chapter 2, the
sliding scale BILL" are applied, the
rate will be greatly and fairly re-
duced, but the trouble is, that while
the assessments of real estate are in
creased about five fold, those on per-
sonal property, of the intangible
class, will not be proportionately in
creased 1t is conservative state
mcnt that it will not be much more
than doubled, that is about $780,
100000
Therefore the tax burden on real
estate will be increased instead of
being diminished.
The legislature is powerless under
our present constitution to remedy
this condition. Farmers and other
real estate owners should realize this
fact and unite their efforts to secure
a constitutional convention through
which alone can they secure relief.
The farmers can control the conven-
tion and theirs also in the final de-
cision at the polls on the question of
ratification.
