Sinclair Consolidated

Much of the recent selling that has
come into Sinclair Consolidated is said
to have been based on the assumption
that the new financing operation will
place the present stock in relatively
worse position than before it was
known that preferred stock issue was
to be created into which the $4,000, 900
notes are convertible. Interests OF
the company deny that this is the case,
and state that with the new refining
capacity to be created the company's
earning power will be greatly increased.
1t is estimated that net earnings in
1920 will reach $2O,0OO,00O and prob
ably $50,000,000 in 1921. Announce
ment was made yesterday that the COM
pany has contracted to sell 100000
barrels of oil to the Standard Oil Com
pany Of Indiana, deliveries to be made
through the Sinclair pipe line to East
Chicago.

Chandler Motors

The announcement early yesterday
that directors of the Chandler Motor
Company may declare a stock dividend
of 33 1-3 per cent at their next meet
ing scheduled for May threw a scare
into the shorts in this stock, and after
selling as low as 1873 it advanced to
l48A for net gain of 7ha points.
The Street heard that in the event
the suggested stock dividend is de-
clared the board will continue to pay
dividends at the current $40 rate
on the increased amount of stock.
Earnings of the company for the rst
quarter of 1920 are estimated at ST.
100000, or at the rate of $1O,OO0,O0O
year. This would be equivalent to
nearly S48 a share on the present
Capitalization of 10000 shares, and
better than S35 a share on the basis
of 285,O00 shares if a stock dividend
Of SO 1-3 per cent is declared. 1t was
announced that the company shipped
1878 cars in the three months ended
March 81, and that for the week ended
April IL 544 cars left the factories.

Assessment Law of 1919.

Since Colonel Crabtree has made
the assessment law enacted by the
General Assembly of 1919 the para
mount issue in the campaign for
Democratic nomination for Governor
this year, it is only reasonable to ask
that the people give careful study
to the operation of tie act. The in
creased assessment will decrease the
rate as set forth herein and the fig
ures are applicable to this county.
Under this act, the legal duty is
imposed upon the County Courts of
the several counties of the State to
fix the county rate of taxation. The
law in this particular has not
been changed, but remains the same
as it hes been for many years.
In view of the equitable asses5-
mcnts which will be effected, under
the Act of 1919, having for its pur-
pose the equalization of assessments
of property, thereby placing the bur
den of taxation justly and equally on
all taxpayers, the rate to be fixed
for all county purposes will be very
materially reduced.
The State tax rate for all purposes
on the old assessments has been sew
enty cents on every hundred dollars,
On the new assessment it will be
about twenty-five cents on the one
hundred dollars If the assessment as
made by the County Tax Assessors
are substantially approved by the
County Boards of Equalization. The
tax rate for all purposes in Obion
County last year was 80 cents max
ing a total county and State rate of
$3.50. Under the new assessment
and by application of proper econo-
my, the tax rate for all county pur-
poses for Obion County for this year
should not exceed 81 cents if the
County Board of Equalization SUBJ
stantially supports the value of prop
crty as fixed by proof. This will
make a total State and County rate
for Obion County not exceeding So
cents.

Railroad Assessment.

Messrs. Beasley, A. J. Corum and
C. w. Miles, Jr., appraisers, have
completed the assessment of the per-
sonal property owned in Obion Coun-
ty by the railroad companies. This
was. last year approximately $4,000.
This year it is $4,000, or over three
hundred per cent more than it was
before. This, of course, does not in
clude the real estate and trackage.
This is another proof that the bur-
den of the new assessment law is not
to be borne by the farmer. There
are numbers of reasons why the new
assessment law should stand, espe-
cially that part of it which places
farm land and real estate at their
real value. Under the old law the
man who held notes objected to list
ing them, with the tax assessor for
the simple reason that the land own
er was not required to pay taxes on
more than one-third of a fair valu-
alton of his land. The note holder
therefore objected because he would
have to pay three times as much tax
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1920-07-16

on his notes as the farmer would on
his land, and hence the practice of
hiding notes and cash equivalent.
Remember that notes cannot bear
more than six per cent, and the old
system of taxation reduced the inter-
est earning power to a minimum.
The farmer is going to find that
the new assessment law will not ma
terially increase his taxes, but will
increase the revenues of the State
and county for all purposes. If it
had not been for the increased cost
of living the farmer would have
found under the new assessment law
a reduction of his taxes. But the
war brought us greater burden and
the solution of this burden is first
the use of economy and then the
of taxes.

Why Is Anarchy?

The demonstration at Chicago at
the convention of the Committee of
Forty-eight is not surprise altho
it has been followed with execration
and inuendo. Mind you, this meet
ing is not the result of the wisdom
of sober-minded people who feel that
the two old political parties need
recrudescence-a return to the orig
inal principles in the administration
of government-but the outcrop-
pings of spirit controlled by hatred
and revenge, anarchy unbridled
At first impulse the suggestion
comes to us that another deportation
is called for. But when you analyze
the conditions, gentlemen, there is
something rotten besides anarchy.
Suppose Russia should have been
for centuries an ideal government,
where men and women enjoyed the
liberty of pursuit and happiness, the
ownership of homes and the rights
of independence. Suppose there had
been no car no tyranny, no oppres-
sion, no lust, no overlords. Would
there have been Lenine or Trotzky?
Would human virtue trail in the
slime and the savage brute hold
sway?
Suppose again in our own country,
what we like to cherish as the name
of our fair LAND, that we had no cap
italistic and political greed manifest
ing itself to-day as it does in utter
contempt for the patriotic impulses
of the war and the rights of the
masses, would there have ever been
such thing as the Committee Of
Forty-eight?" And out of this or
ganization would there have been
such a CHASTITY and unspeakable dem
onstration?
Why should men be permitted in
a civilization which scorns the i'm
putation of aristocracy an despotism
to hold an option on the bread of
life and the means of an honest call
ing, who without visible means of
support, strut forth over the princi-
pie thorofares of America and rob
and plumber wherever they will?
Why should men be allowed to
corner and hold the food we eat
while people are penniless and
starved. Why, in a brief sentence,
should the profiteer go unr1olested
to devour the weak and the political
degenerate be deported?
Why should the publisher Of a
small rural paper stand in dread and
fear that the man who has cornered
the paper supply will eventually
drive him out of business?
Why is anarchy?
