LISTS OF FAIR PRICES TO
Be GIVEN PUBLIC.
Local Food Committee To
Probe High Costs.

Washington, Aug. IL Attorn-
ey Palmer today called on State
Food Administrators who served
under Herbert to join him in a
nationwide publicity campaign
by arranging for investigation
of local conditions and publicat-
ion of fair price lists.
In return, Mr.. Palmer promis-
es to enforce laws where hoard
ing or profteering is unearthed
and to operate the machinery of
the department to aid in making
the campaign a success.
Mr.. Palmer seeks to have or
ganized fair price committees
throughout the country, whose
duty it shall be to get at facts in
connection with prices of food
stuffs and other essential com
modities, including clothing and
to let the public know just what
these committees believe to be
the prices which they should pay
retailers.
This action was taken by Mr..
Palmer in compliance with state
ments by President Wilson last
Friday that publicly campaign
would be one of the important
parts of the, administrations
campaign against living costs.
1t is not the intention, however,
to revive the food administration
in all its activities. but merely
to take these steps under the
food control law, which promise
to be most effective.

GILBERT rRABTREE DIES AT wILLETTE.

Death has visited our town
and again took from among us
another worthy citizen. Bro.
Gilbert Crabtree was born on
Jennings creek and lived there
the greater portion of his life.
He had recently moved to Will
lette to make his home when he
was taken sick. and seemed to
be on the road to recovery when
he suddenly grew worse and only
lived a few days. Bro. .Crabtree
leaves two children, a son. Amos
Crabtree of Jennings creek and
Miss Ada, daughter. who lived
with her father. The entire
community extends sympathy to
his beresved children. Bro.
Crabtree will be missed by US all,
especially in the church where
he worshiped and where he often
read the word of God and poin-
ted out. in his simple unaffected
way, the path that should be
trod by the Christian. He was
an able talker and a close stu
dent of the Bible.

Tribute of Respect TO Marvin
Cnrran Halle.

The following tribute to Mar
win G. Halle, who died May 16
is taken from the Atoka Count,
Jenersonian, Atoka, Okla. The
article shows the high esteem il
which the deceased was held by
the people of his home town.
"Mr. Halle was one of Atok a (
most honorable members of the
bar. His associates speak in the
highest terms of his profound
knowledge of the law, and of his
sacred respect for the ethics OF
of the legal profession, as well
as his many virtues as a man.
Several years ago he was as
sistant county attorney under j.
w. Clark. who was county at
torney, and so far as we have
ever heard, and from our own
personal observation we believe
that as official he held the same
high rank as he did in his pro-
fession and as a man.
For the past several years he
has been member of the well
known law firm of Clark & Halle.
"Mr Halle was modest and
seemingly retiring in speech and
manner, this no doubt was due
to a great extent to the fact that
he was not physically robust,
nevertheless in character he
was firm and unyieIding and 10y
al to truth in all things. His
many virtues can be summed up
and expressed in the short but
significant sentence-He was
a good useful man
"Mr. Halle was a firm believer
in the great truth of Christian
ity. He was a member of the
Christian church, and his life
was clean and consistent with

and to guard against the Great
ion of a large surplus which al
ways invites extravaganza.
TO illustrate the operation of
the sliding scale the following
calculation is submitted, based
on the actual provisions of sem
ate bill No. 78. Section |, of
this bill provides:
I" That if the total assessment
of all property in the state of
Tennessee subject to a property
tax, excluding merchants capit-
al. shall in any year be nine hun
dred million dollars and less than
ten hundred million dollars, the
tax rate for the state shall be 3l1
cents; for schools, 1Ss cents; for
highways, 8 cents, and for the
university fund, 4a cents. This
makes total rate for all state
purposes 58a cents.
"A 5000, 600. 900 assessment at
5Sa cents on the $l0O worth of
property will produce fer state
purposes $5. 265. 900 in revenue.
"The same law further pro-
vides:
p" That if the total assessment
shall. be fifteen hundred million
dollars and less than sixteen hun
dre1 million dollars the tax rate
for state purposes shall be 18a
cents; for schools, 81 cents; for
highways. 81 cents. and for the
university fund, q cents. This
makes total rate for all state
purposes 35 cents.
IAN assessment of S1,5000,-
900. 900 at a 35 cents rate on the
500 worth of property will pro-
duce for state purposes S.. ESQ.,
900 or SIS. 200 less than a 50, 600,
900. 900 assessment at 5Ss cents.
From the above illustration
it will be seerfthat when the as
sessment reaches $500. 900, OOC
the sliding scale begins to oper-
rare and rate is reduced as the
assessment increases. so that ar
assessment of $500, 600, 0Ot
wenld not collect quite as much
taxes from the people as a $780,.

County Council Of Agriculture
Needed In Jackson County.

The need for a county counc
of agriculture is becoming NOR
and more recognized thruou
Tennessee, and Jackson count,
would be greatly benefited b,
such an organization. The val
of such an organization is espec
tally becoming known in Middl,
Tennessee a result of the full
organization details explained b!
w. A. Shoenfeld, assistant direc
tor of the division of agricultur.
al extension, University of Ten
nessee, at the Middle Tennessee
Farmers Institute held at Col
umbia.
The councils of agriculture
parallel chambers of commerce,
or commercial clubs, Mr.. Schoen
field explained. The purpose is
for the betterment of rural life
the same as commercial and
other clubs work for the better.
ment of cities.
The council will not buy nol
sell. 1t has been learned from
experience that this is not the
proper function of such organi-
cations. 1t will, however, work
for better schools, better church
es, better sanitation, better
everything for the person who
lives outside Of the city or town.
The council will also develope
cooperative production and mar.
citing systems, and induce the
establishment of creameries and
and other such industries that
will directly benefit the farming
community.
The system of organization is
simple. The councils usually are
started with S or 6 members who
begin at once campaigns for
other members. The county "a
gent will act as the advisor to
the council. He serves without
extra. The money collected on
memberships can be used for the
purpose of promoting coopera.
tive livestock sales, health cam
paigns, better roads, and other
such purposes.
Directors are to be elected
democratically; this board elects
the officers.
Such a council was orgaized in
Blount county sometime ago.
and it has accomplished mudh
good work.
