Undaunted by the breaking up Of his

is planning q new polar expedition but
this time he will seek to unravel the
mysteries of the north polar regions.
The details of his expedition have not

ably will start from northern Russia.
He will be accompanied by dozen

Sir Ernest estimates that the cost of
an expedition. which will be gone a
year, will be about $4,000.

THEY ARE COMPLETED.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Trustee j. Ross Burns is expecting
to have in his hands by January 1 the
tax books of the county, and is prepar-
ing for a rush of taxpayers, such as
never before known, as property own
ers have in the past begun the pay
ment Of taxes in October or Novem-
Der. This year the collection Of taxes
has been impossible during these
months, due to the fact that the books
were not truned over to the trustee,
the delay having been caused by the
failure of the state board of euuali-
cation to certify to the assessment OF
the county.
Trustee Burns is making ready to
Go about four months real work in the
short space Of two months, and within
the next few days he will announce
his readiness to receive taxes.

TO BE APPLIED TO SCHOOL

From Tuesdays Daily HeraldD
The. payment Of dog tax continues
but slowly while many claims for
sheep killed by dogs of the county are
BEING fled with County Trustee
burns. From present Indications
there will be but a small sum left
from the dog tax to be applied to the
school fund Of the county. Up until
the present time less than $4,000 has
been collected on the dog tax in the
county, and nearly this amount in
claims has been filed with the trustee,
but even if there is not one penny left
for schools, the tax guarantees sheen
raisers- against the, ravages of worth
less dogs, and it is expected that the
next legislature will strengthen the
present dog law so as to make cOllec.
ton Of the tax more rigid. II is esti-
mated that there are some 1000 dogs
in the county upon which the 1920
tax has not been paid. All of these
are viOlators of a criminal statute and
are liable to Indictment and prosecu-
ton.

Although the wheel tax on wagons,
buggis and automobiles became due
and payable on the first day of Janu.
airy, 1920, the payment of this tax has
continued undated during the twelve
months of the year, and during the
present month County Court Clerk
Llpscomb has written receipts for tax
on seventy-seven wagons, fortyfour
buggies and eight automobiles, or a to-
tai OF 129 vehicles, upon which the tax
should have been paid nearly wear
ago. Those who have thus delayed in
making payment Of this tax have laid
themselves liable, not only to the pav.
ment Of the wheel tax but to. indict.
ment and criminal prosecution and
the payment of a minimum fine and
COSTS amounting to more than forty
dollars, and those who have deferred
payment until the present month may
consider themselves fortunate that
they nave escaped so lightly
The payment of wheel taxes has
brought to light the following figures:
There are today in Maury county
1864 registered buggies, 1851 ruyis.
tered wagons and 1,76G7 registered au.
tomobiles, or total number of 1882

HON. EUGENE PRIEST.

If the republicans make a change
In the office of collector of internal
revenue for this state, and it is prob
able that they will, Eugene Priest of
Nashville, is assuredly entitled to the
place. 1t is no disparagement to other
applicants to say that he is pre-emin-
emily the best qualified man in Ten
nessee for the office. He has had
thirty years of practical experience.
He has served under Collectors Num-,
Mccall, Coldwell, Sharp and Craig
and he has performed the duties of
the office efficiently and with fidelity
to his country. He knows more about
the duties of the office than any
chief that he ever had. He is accom-
modating and agreeable in the dis.
charge of his duties and numbers his
friends by his acquaintance. He is
a consistent republican without ever
having given offense to those who
disagreed with him and he deserves
the office of collector because his
salary has never been commensurate
with the services that he has rendered
his country.
