reduced, and otherwise changed on a
percentage basis by the State Board,
reasonable notice in writing must be
given to the Chairman of the County
Court, or to the County Court Clerk,
of its intention to change the assess
ment, whereupon proof by affidavit or
deposition may be submitted by the
County Court Clerk, or Chairman, in
opposition to such change. In other
words, before the State Board can
make a change in the assessment, it
must give an opportunity to the
county through the County Judge OF
County Court Clerk, and to the pro-
perry owner, to offer proof in addl-
ton to what is now being taken. When
the proof is all in on both sides, the
State Board will then take either OF
two courses-that is, certify the
proof and assessments back to the
County Board of Equalization for re-
investigation, or it may pass on the
proof itself, just like the Supreme
Court would do in a lawsuit. If q
more perfect system can be devised
for equalizing assessments, and If the
interest of each taxpayer can be more
safely guarded, we would like fol
such system to be outlined to US.
Before the adoption of the pres
ent law each county was left to pro
tect itself against a higher assess
ment than prevailed in other counties
If you can conceive of judicial sys'
TEN, composed of various Chancery
Courts, and various Circuit or Dis
trict Courts, without Supreme Court
to reconcile conflicting opinions rem
dered in these various subdivisions,
you will have a judicial system which
would compare favOrably with the
system of tax assessments which we
had in Tennessee prior to the pas
sage of Senate Bill No. II.
Briefly summarized, before the as
sessment is made in 1920, it will pass
through the following stages:
First. The Chief Tax Statistician
will establish the value of the pro-
perty throughout the State, discov-
ering the unassessed and grossly un-
der-assessed property.
Second. A copy of his work will
be furnished the County Tax Asses
sor in each county in the State, to be
used by the County Tax Assessor as
a basis and as a guide.
Third. The County Tax Assessor
will make the local assessment, it be-
ing his duty to see each taxpayer in
person, and each taxpayer will be
given an opportunity before the Tax
Assessor.
Fourth. The assessment will go
from the County Tax Assessor to the

Children Are the Most Pitlful Sufferers
From the cataclysm That Has
Ruined a Once Prosperous
People.

The Jews In almost every country
of the world except America are In a
state more dire and terrible, perhaps,
than any In which they have found
themselves since the fall of Jerusalem.
Briefly, the Jewish, rnce In much of
Europe is ON the verge of annlhila-
ton.
The countries In which the plight Of
the Jews Is the worst are Poland,
Czechoslovakia. Jugoslavia, Ru-
mania, Serbia, Galicia, Palestine.
Turkey, Greece and Siberia. In wilma,
a typical town of Poland, the Jewish
population has been cut down by star
walton. typhus and other diseases in
the last five years from 10000 to
$1,000. Nearly half Of the survivors
are dependent upon relief supplies

and many other cities throughout

same tale

their race abroad. They sent some 20
commissioners to various foreign coun-
tries TO investigate the truth of these
reports. Almost all these commission
ers have now returned and the first
hand Information that they have
brought back Is more alarming than the
early unsubstantiated reports. Such
men as Nathan Stratus. Henry Morgen-
thau. Julius Rosenwald, Jacob II.
Schiff. Felix NJ. Warburg. and many
other prominent members of this COM
mittee are now bending every effort
to arouse America TO the great need
abroad and rush the food and supplies
across the ocean which, IL sent quick
ly, will save the Jewish race from
destruction.
Saddest OF tho victims of all this
woe are the children. Tens of thou

JEWISH RELIEF WORK
is NOW WORLDWIDE
Christian as Well as Jewish SUI
fsrers Are Aided by 0rganiza-
ton That Covers Many Coun-
tries IN Europe and the Orient.

Quietly, and practically without
publicity OF any sort, the Jews of Amer
lea have built up, through the Amer
lean Jewish Relief Committee and
other official agencies. machine for
the organization and distribution of
relief to war sufferers of their own,
and other races that is now practi-
caliy worldwide. The headquarters of
the Committee are at IS East 10th
Street, New York. Expenditures for
this work BOW aggregate more than
100000 a month, and by means of
stately state campaigns to be held
this fall total of $4,000 is TO,
be sought to finance the work through
the coming months.
An enumeration of the countries In
which relief efforts are being made
Ia indicative of the scope OF the work.
Representatives OF these Jewish agen-,'
cles are to BIO found In Poland. Czecho-
slovaiia. Jugoslavia. Qallcia, Serbia.
Rumania, and other Balkan states,
Greece. Turkey. Palestine and Siberia.
Small groups OF refugees. cast up by
the backwash Of war. are being az
sisted In Holland, Japan, China and
other Isolated parts OF the globe.
All told, many million Christians
and moro than 80OO,0OO Jews in coun-'
tries other than the United States are
being directly aided by American jew.
Lab relief funds. The major portion
OF tfais humanitarian work is of course
carried on In Eastern Europe It is'
there that the bulk Of the worlds Jew

these same nations have been perhaps
hardest hit by the late war. explains
why, World Jewry Ia at the greatest
CRISIS In tts history.
But though the Jews OK America
have set out to save their race from
destruction. they arc not forgetting
that their own people are not the only
sufferers In these lands. Tho ~slgnifi-
canoe OF the whole undertaking becomes
apparent when It is known that the
relief supplies which have been pur-
chased and shipped largely with Jew
la fluids are distributed without dis
elimination to Christians as well ~
Jews. Barriers Of race and creed
have been submerged In the asea lido
Of suffering through0Gt much Of the
