Lean Toward Plan.

The Americans are swinging toward
The idea of the British that a nation
can be delegated by the league to act as
It's agent with requirements to keep or
der in troublous regions. This applies
particularly to semicivlliZed areas, The
Americans realize also that this may
mean new responsibilities for the Unit
cd states, as the trusteeship in the near
east and Southeast Africa Is being
urged by the British on the ground that
the league Of nations means that Amer
lea must take her share of the burdens
Of the worlds peace.
1t is a serious question az to how far
the American people are willing to go
in that direction, but II it is absolutely
essential to the worlds peace, our rep
reSentatives here are arguing that the
American people will be willing to
make the same sacrifices OF traditional
pt Icy to insure peace as II just did in
the war. The trend of opinion among
our delegates is that some sort of in
ternational organization of a permanent
character is needed, which shall con-
stantly review world situations, rec
~ommending reylsions.
1t Is obvious that President Wilson
expects to wait to see the proposals Of
France and Great Britain before sub
hitting the American plan, which Is
undergoing revisions day by day, ac-
cordingly, rs 1t Is able to bring other
countries into agreement on funda-
mental points. 1t begins to look as IL
Mr.. Wilson may obtain a declaration Of
the general principles of the league be-
fore he leaves for America. Plans are
being made for a transcontinental trip
wherein the president will explain to
the American people what he has been
~endeavoring to do at the peace con-
ference, and to crystalline American
opinion behind such innovations as it
may be found necessary to include In
the league of nations In order to make
1t workable or make it satisfactory to
our associates.
II seems certain the president will ad-
dress congress on his return and that
he may possibly make a few public
| speeches in the East. But II seems to
be the impression that he will take the
American people into his confidence on
the large questions dealt with in the
peace conference for the purposes, first,
II it Ia necessary for him to come back
to Europe to reveal to statesmen here
the strength of the American public
| opinion behind him; second, the readi-
ness OF the American people to mako
necessary sacrifices Of their. previous
customs and presidents in order to In
sure n world peace.
All these plans are subject to change,
but the outlook at present is that Mr.
Wilson will bring home a declaration of
principles which will form the main
basis OF the actual peace treaty. which
win be concluded late In the summer

Every Dollar to State.

AS a prerequisite to the adoption
OF business methods, every dollar col
lected by any agent or institution OF
the state should go into the state
every dollar expended for any purpose
should be paid on warrant OF the comp.
troller witt a record of such payment.
Not only are the governor and
members Of the legislature entitled to
full knowledge Of all receipts and dis
should have easy access to such In
formation. The white light OF pitt
less publicity should be turned on ev-
cry. financial transaction affecting the
state treasury.
when this is accomplished It should
be definitely ascertained how much rev.
enue must be raised IN order to meet
the necessary current expenses Of the
state government. All property in the
state, whether now taxed or not. unless
expressly exempted by the state con-
stitution, should then be required tc
contribute its Just pro rata OF this reve-
nue.. Lest a surplus should be collected
from the citizen a sliding scale Of rates
OF taxation should be provided by this
legislature so that the rate would de-
crease as the gross assessment in
creased, and only a fixed, necessary
amount collected to meet current ex-
penses, howsoever much the assessment
might be raised,
"Whcn legislation is enacted to pro-
tect the citizen against the possibility
OF an oVer-aSsesment and a resultant
surplus in the treasury to invite graft
and extravaganza, he will be secure In
his rights and the state will be assured
OF sufficient funds to meet expenses.
Under the plan proposed by my admin
istration a gross assessment of fifteen
hundred million dollars will produce the
same amount OF revenue as a gross as
sessment OF nine hundred million.

every citizen in his life, liberty and

1t is a matter Of common knowledge
that In Tennessee gross injustice exists
IN the distribution OF the tax burden.
Some large corporations owning valu-
BILE properties In Tennessee pay no ad
valorem tax whatever, for the reason
that there Is no law on our statute
books providing a method Of assessing
their property; other forms Of proper
ty escape taxation because OF lax
methods of assessors, or of the fraud
erty is assessed at a very small per-
centage OF its real value; while small
land owners and a few holders of per-
sonalty, assessed according to law, are
forced to bear more than their share OF
the burdens of state, county and mu-
nicipal government.
Such a condition is intolerable. No
honest man a defend 1t or look with
complacency upon it. l stand COM
mitted to a correction of these evils, as
do the members Of this legislature,
elected on the ticket with me. The
citizenship of Tennessee is honest, and,
being honest, is not only ready for a
change, but is demanding It. The tax
burden must be so shifted as to bear
equally upon all property owners, SO
like a thread Of gold, must run through
the fabric Of our whole taxing system.
No state can prosper when it fails to
protect the lives and liberties of Its
citizens, or takes from one citizen
under the forms Of law more than his
share Of taxes for it's support. SO, to be
just toward the citizen, the state must
see to it that not one penny is col
lected from him In taxes above the
amount required to carry on an efficient
state government economically admin
Istered according to business methods.
It, therefore, becomes necessary to
abolish every needless office, to con.
solidate related departments, to sim.
plify the machinery OF state govern.
ment, and to place every department
upon a business basis,
