A Democrats Statement
About Roberts Ini-
quitous Tax on
Life Insurance
Mr.. c. c. Dabney, a Well Known
Life Insurance Agent of Nash
vile, Speaks Out in Behalf
of the $4,000 Policy
Holders in the State.

THE writer was one of legisla-
tive committee, representing the
Nashville Life Underwriters Associa-
tion, that called on Gov A. H. Roberts
during the Legislative session of 1919,
and pleaded and begged Governor
Roberts not to have this measure en-
acted into law. We explained to Gov
ernor Roberts that it did not take a
single copper from any life insurance
company, or from any life insurance
representative; that We we're simply
making plea in behalf of the widows
and fatherless children and other de-
pendents.
We at the same explained to Gov
ernor Roberts that Tennessee was get
ting 2h per cent tax on the insur-
ance premium; that this was the
greatest amount of tax paid on life
insurance in any other state Of the
4S states Of America, as most of the
states only collect tax of / per cent
on life insurance premiums; that in
directly this tax was paid by the
policy holder, as this was embodied
In the cost of the premium rate as
applied to the policy. But to all of
our pleadings Governor Roberts
turned deaf ear.
Governor Roberts stated to us that
he drafted this bill and he boosted
of the fact that it was his measure.
He went so far az to tell the commit
tee of life insurance representative
that II we defeated the bill, he would
follow It with bill that would make
every life insurance company doing
business In Tennessee pay tax of 3Ia
per cent on their premiums instead
Of 21s per cent, as they were then pay
ing.
Il am very much pleased to see, as
your letter clearly indicates, that you
have given such deep thought and
made such thorough investigation of
this very unjust law, as all of this in
heritance tax on life insurance simply
means that amount of money taken
from the widows and fatherless chill
dren of Tennessee.
I'VE watched with keen interest
Governor Roberts recent announce
ment and also read with much interest
the platform presented by the Demo-
cratic state convention on June 8,
1920, thinking that among other laws
that should be abolished or amended
the inheritance tax on life insurance
would be embodied among them. How
ever, the aforementioned announce
ment and platform seems to be as
silent as the dry bones of the valley
on the subject of Inheritance tax as
applied to life insurance"

GOVERNOR ROBERTS FOR A
STATE INCOME TAX.

On page 1854, Public Acts of Tennes-
see, is printed Senate Joint Resolution
No. Sc (by Mr.. Louthan and Bradley,
which reads as follows:
BE it resolved by the General AS
sembly Of the State of Tennessee, the
Senate and House of Representatives
concurring, That a proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of Tennessee,
adopted In 1870 A. D.. be. and the same
is, agreed to by majority of the men,
bers elected to the Senate and House
Of Representatives, as follows:
1.-The General Assembly shall have
power to levy and collect taxes on
incomes from whatever source de-
rived same to be known as Amend
ment No. to the Constitution
The resolution was approved by Gov
ernor Roberts on April Is, 1919.
The Governor not satisfied with his
other tax measures, and under the
Constitution of the State Of Tennessee,
a State income tax cannot be imposed
on the citizens Of this State, he APP
proves an amendment of the Constitu-
tion to do so. Do the citizens of the
State want State income tax laid
upon them? The first step has been
taken. If Governor Roberts Is re-
elected we may expect his program
for levying the State income tax to be
carried out insofar as he can do so.
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1920-10-21

The levy for 1919 is as specifically
prescribed in Section /, of Chapter ii,
Acts 1919, except item five as to Ele-
mentary Schools, which is provided
for In Section 6, Chapter III, Acts
1919. The levy for 1920 is made under
the provisions of the same act by the
sliding scale" method.
The published reports as contained
in the press of last Sunday from Mr..
Louthan gave the total state tax rate
for all purposee as 20 cents. The ef-
fect of this official publication has
been to deceive the public in this con-
nection.
If the taxpayers who are vitality in
terested in this matter will multiply
the above rates by the total taxable
values for their respective counties on
farm lands and other real estate they
can readily see for themselves how
much increase there will be under
Governor Roberts tax law In the
taxes of the farmer. II they will
multiply the above rates by the
total taxable values of railroad
and other public utility corporations
they will readily see how much de-
crease the total tax to be paid by these
corporations will amount to.

WHAT ABOUT 1T, COVER.
NOR?

Tennessee Democracy-in the Nash.
vile Democatic convention-decla
for the repeal Of the outrageous public
utilities law. Repeal of this vicious
act Is now part of the principles OF
the Democratic party of this state.
Governor Roberts, at whose behest
the law was placed on the statute
books-has made show of bowling to
the wishes Of his party. Roberts, who
is seeking second term as Governor,
has said something about repeating
the law. But he has said nothing
about repeating it NOW.
His promise Is vague and indefinite.
Maybe after the election is over and
when the neutrality-suspicious. meets, this
bill, passed at his behest, will be re-
pealed.
This will be a clear case Of strad-
ding the fence. In the first place it
Is difficult to conceive how Roberts
can oppose it-then why delay until
after the election? If he is sincere In
his opposition, why not act now?
The Governor Is to call special

the repeal of the utilities bill is part
OF that call, then the law can be killed
at that time. The question Is squarely
up to Roberts.

DEMOCRATIC PAPERS
What They Say of Roberts and His Administration

Tennessee are protesting against an
ubiquitous public utilities law which
takeo away from municipalities the
right to control their own public;
which abrogates franchises and makes
joke out Of contracts; which has
always worked In favor OF the cor
porations az against the public. and
which has resulted in tremendous In
creases in fares and rates charged by
local utility corporations.
In carrying out this tax system and
this utilities law Roberts has pretty
largely made enemies Of thousands OF
farmers and hosts of city jewellers,
but he has made friends of the cor
por' tons The, corporations want the
utilities law to continue on the statute
books undisturbed and unchanged.
Roberts desire to postpone the re-
peal of a law which is opposed by
the entire Democratic party of Ten.
nessee is capable of but one eonstruc-
Cion-that the Governor fears to anger
these corporations, and at least wants
TO be reelected before the subject of
the utilities commission is brought up.
This is a wfshy.washy, unenviable
position to take.
If Roberts intends to obey the will
of the Democratic party and repeal
the utilities bill, let him include that
subject in the call for a special ses-
sion OF the Legislature. If he doesn't,
let him be fair to the people and
frankly state his position.
What about it, Governor Roberts7
