property?
We have reiterated the statement
or rather the opinion that property
should be assessed on its productive
value-for instance: The home of
George A. Thompson, in Lexington,
was raised from $4,000 to $4,000
ana day II would not rent for
over $4,000 per onth--Mr. Thomp-
son says not that much to any one
family; hence 100000 should be the
ssaximum limit of the assessment put
upon it.
The future valuable lands hereto
fore referred to which might sell for
$5.000.00 yet is now and will be for a
year or two a liability instead on an
asset to the owner, is another case
we would like for 'the Major" to pass
on.
The old law was all right but was
not properly administered. The new
law is just as good, no better-but
this is the first time Tennessee ever
paid some extra hands more than a
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
to boost the assessments.

PROBLEMS CONNECTED
WITH FARMING

Some tell us that farming on pa
per" is fake-that only proctical
farmers know or can give reliable in
formation about the great occupation
but We know that theory and obser-
walton are valuable. Take, for in
stance the labor problem in connec-
ton with the farm; The laborer
tells as that he must have 5000 per
month and his board; the farmer as
serts that he can not afford to pay it,
and to prove his position some farm
ers are taking steps to cut out all
possible work that calls for addition
al employment of labor. Some let
their lands lie fallow, some sow down
the lands that would otherwise be
differently cultivated and all are
hunting way to get around pay
ment of the wage demanded.
The peculiar feature of the matter
Is, that if the laborer can not get his
price, he will spend day after day in
idleness IL he remains in the country
--or h evil seek the city where he
win follow same rule. The man who
remains in idleness because he can
not get his price, is simply on strike
and we are willing to admit that
the strike is the only weapon Of the
working man by which he can force
employer to accept his demand. II
he agrees to any other manner Of set
Element, he is likely to be the victim
Of q variety Of tricks, but when the
men who work quit and others can
not be had in their places, capital and
the employer are up against it" in
the vernacular Of the day. All prices
are forced upward by pressure-and
every man boosts the prices Of that
which he has to sell, whether it be la
Dor or a commodity; in fact, labor
has always been a commodity, and
unlike farm products, controlled by
men who buy instead Of those who
sell. Labor is turning the trick Of
fixing its own price, but farmers will
never do so unless they organize and
we doubt il that viii ever be done.

MISTAKE IN PUBLICATION.

The publication made in the local
papers last week that Mayor L. T.
Fielder would lift the influenza ban
on Saturday, that there would be
church services last Sunday and that
school would reopen last Monday was
a mistake. Mayor Fielder had re-
moval Of the ban under consideration
but the publication was made before
he had come to a definite conclusion
and further investigation convinced
the mayor that conditions would not
justify him in lifting the ban at that
time.

WHAT CAN YOU
GET OUT OF TT

The Nashville Banner, of last SUM-
day printed an exhaustive editorial
review of legislative enactments and
Supreme court rulings in regard to
the assessment of property in Ten
nessee-and from the beginning to
ending these acts and decisions de-
manded the assessments of property
at its value and the equal and fair
treatment of all classes of citizens in
property assessment-real personal,
and mixed. Everybody has known
that all the time, bur some were per-
haps not aware of the fact that laws
were passed requiring assessors to
take oath in advance that they would
assess property at its value and af-
terward that such duty had been per-
formed. That this was not done, all
were aware-and that the advance
assessments made by Assistant State
statisticians, under the latest attempt
to assess property at its value, are
grossly and glaringly unequal any
one can see who will find the list and
casually scan it. Turley, Taylor, Rye
all legislated on it and finally the
present executive took a whack at il,
evolving a more than HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLAR scheme to ac-
complish what all were sworn to do
and none had done.
The Banner in its editorial says:
"A fair COST valuation of all prop
erty is absolutely the only important
basis Of assessment and no one there
by can be overburdened." What does
the Banner mean by cost valua-
tion?" Does it mean the cost of the
million-dollar Stahlman building
when it was erected or the price for
which the property would sell now?
Does it mean that the $500 cost Of the
home Of the writer in Lexington or
the price Oakley & Company would
pay for it now-or still further the
price Oakley & CO., would put or the

A THRIFT CLUB
IN EVERY HOME.


Plans of far reaching Importance,
put into effect with the new year, are
announced by Silas.W Davis, Govern
ment Director of the War Loan Or
ganization for the Sixth District.
These plans include as their most
important feature the organization of
Home Circle Thrift Club in every
family The past year has seen the
organization of Savings Societies in
the schools, stores, shops, factories
and other places of business where
men and women are employed. Now
it is proposed to carry the work
step further by taking thrift into the
home.
l.. PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. :.
The educational campaign en-
braces four lines of propaganda CON
verging on the home.
FIRST-Through the Schools. A
series of leaflets addressed to the pa
rents will be distributed to the pu-
pills with instructions to carry them
home. The first of these leaflets adj
dressed to the mother, tells her in
child language of message from
Uncle Sam. Then the Home Circle
Thrift Club idea is developed in a
way that appeals to the family.
| A week later the child carries home
second leaflet called a MESSAGE
TO FATHER and this appeals to the
head of the house from a mans
standpoint.
A few days later a third leaflet adj
dressed to the mother and father
jointly is delivered by the child and
this calls for the organization Of a
Home Circle Thrift Club on the fol-
lowing Friday evening or some other
evening that is convenient.
For the convenience of parents a
franked postal card is enclosed with
the last leaflet. This postal card
simply states that Home Circle
Thrift Club has been organized in
that family and when signed and
dropped in the mail will secure for
that home some interesting thrift lit
erature, including suggestions for the
family budget and illustrations show
ing how other people have developed
the idea Of thrift.
No effert is to be made to secure
any report of the Home circle Thrift
Club beyond the fact that it has been
organized, for it is not desired to pry
into family affairs.
.SEC0ND-Through the press.
While this work Is going on througl
the schools the press win be regular
" informed Of the progress of the
campaign and will do its full share in
bringing home to the people the
Importance of this work. a
The aid of the pulpit and path
organizations will be invoked ant
from the expressions already givcn
this will undoubtedly be a great help
to the organization.
THROUGH W0MEN'S CLUBS
Among women's clubs, under the di-
rection of Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin, a |
movement has been started to effect
the organization of Home Circle
Thrift Club in the home of each men, |
Der of every organization. This will
secure the organization of such clubs !
in many thousands of homes and |
their example will extend throughout |
those communities.

 MacGUERIN'S DEATH
Lord Mayor of Cork Slain Two Days After Receiving Threatening Let
 ter From Unknown Enemy

Cork, March 2O.-The sensational murder this morning of Lord Mayor MacGuerin has not yet been solved but it has become known that two days ago he received threateninc letter which he regarded as a joke The letter directed the lord mayor to prepare for death, as he had been doomed.
 X special meeting of the Cork city council will be held tonight and Mayor MacGuerin's body will be re- moved to the city hall where it will lie in state. Two hours before the lord mayor was murdered Constable Murtag of the Royal Irish constabu- lary was shot dead in the street. His body was riddled with bullets
 When the police visited MacGuer- in's house to make inquiries for in- quest purposes they were refused ad- mission. The lord mayors body draped in the Sim F>ein volunteer uniform, lies in his residence which is guarded by volunteers. The body will lie in state in the city hall from tonight until Monday when a public funeral will be held. Two hours aft CT the murder a large force of mili- tary visited Mace home and searched the room where the body was lying.
 Thus far the identity of the mur- derers has not been discovered nor has any otive for the murder been assigned. It is held that the crime could not have been committed by Sim Feiners against one of their own number and many residents of Cork are expressing fear of reprisals which may affect all Ireland
 The murder of MacGuerin follows an attempt Thursday night against the life of Prof. Stockley, who was an alderman in the Cork corpora ton in the Sim F'en interests
