corporatIon Assessment Measure.

Senate bill No. lilo, the corporation
assessment measure, intended 10
reach all corporations In Tennessee
which in the past have either paid no
taxes, or else have paid but triile,
was passed on final consideration 10
the house Of representative last week.
The bill, as II came from the senate,
was amended so that the salaries OF
the members of the railroad commits
sion of Tennessee, which will assume
additional burdens under the law, will
be increased 5000 per year, instead
Of $1,000, as provided in the senate
bill. The salaries will, therefore, be:
Chairman, $4,000, and associate mem
bers, $4,000 each. o
AS amended in regard to the sala-
ries, the bill will go to the senate for
action, and it is likely that the action
of the house in changing the salaries
will be concurred in and the bill soon
be on its way to Gov. Roberts for his
signature and approval.
This bill imposes on the railroad
commission the duty of assessing for
state, county and municipal purposes
all corporations that are not now as
sessed by the commission. The as.
sessments of properties by the COM
mission will be equalized by state
board of equalizers, of which the gov
ernor is a member.

HENEY TESTIfiES
AGAINST PACKERS
"MoGULs" ARE MENACE, ATToR-
NEY ALLEGEs-AWARDlNG OF
REBATES is TARGET.
Pleads OF Concerns viii Control Food,
Counsel Predicts-Smothering
of Competition Assaulted.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
WashingtOn.-Fran J. EIeney, for
iner counsel for the Federal Trade
Commission, testifying before the
House Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, declared that within ten years,
and probable within five, the five lead
ing meat packers would control the
entire food supply of the country and
would be able to charge whatever
prices they desired. Mr.. Heney said
the packers had extended into 50
many fields that they had become Il
menace to the country. They now
control the cheese oleOmargarlne and
butter markets, he said, and rapidly
are obtaining a monopoly of large
number of other food products.
Through their large capital and their
special privileges, the witness de-
clared, they are able to smother com
petition"
Mr.. Heney said the packers received
their first start toward domination OF
the food markets through rebates
granted by the railroads. This gave
them such an advantage over their
competitors, he stated, that they soon
obtained control of meats and meat
products. The second step taken by
the packers, he asserted, was the OBJ
tanning of special privileges from the
railroads for their refrigerator cars,
intended originally for perishable
meat products alone. The packers,
Mr.. Heney said, now use refrigerator
cars for perishable and imperishable
goods alike, and ut such great say
ing i'm money ana in time of deliveries
rs to destroy competition. AS re-
suit, he said, wholesale grOcers are
being driven out of business. Govern
| ment ownership of refrigerator cars
and stOckyardS was advocated by Mr..
Heney as the only means of placing
The packers on an even footing with
| u )sslbe competitors, and he said that
even This could not cure entirely the
| packer evil" Cold-stOrage plants
should be built by the Government in
al large cities, he said, so that small
packers would have means of dis
! posing of their products.
Government regulation of the meat
industry he characterized as inadvis-
able because ''the regulated have a
habit of appointing soon the regua-
tors themselves" He also said Gov
| ernment ownership of the packing
plants or extensive licensing probably
would be unsuccessful. Testimony
| submitted by the packers during the
hearings was termed by Mr.. Heney as
a virulent and unjuStitied attack on
| the Federal Trade Commission. He
said the packers has made many mis-
representations and called particular
| attention to their statement that they
had not been allowed to state their
| side of the case during the commits
| sion's investigation. None of the pack
ers requested that he he heard at any
time, the witness said. Mr.. Heney
also denied statements that the com
mission had made misuse of the pack
er'S correspondence files and that
| much of its evidence had been secured
from uniformed persons or diSgrun-
tied employees of the packers

The senate committee on railroads

lands on the Herbert Domain. These
lands are in the middle of one of the
best coal sections of the country, and
that the coal can be mined prcfitably
in the opinion of all familiar with coal
mining in this part of the state. The
state has held this tract or more
property domain for about IL years,
and Senator Haston declares that 1t is
time it received something on the in
vestment. Good roads from Pikeville
and Crossville and an extension of
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railroad, in the Sequatchie Val
ley, will soon give the people of the
state a very different idea from the
one some seem to hold now about this
valuable property owned by the state,
