The Tax Assessment.

Acc, fding to the cash valuation as
so5sment plan for both State and
county taxes, the report of the State
board places real and personal prop
erty valuation in Obion County al
$33,047, 500, Gibson County at $780,
714,900, and Weakley County at 49,
458,300.
Now, without going into the sub
ject to any extent, superficial view
of the matter would indicate a seem
ing discrepancy in favor of the two
border counties. The bank deposits
in Gibson County show a probable
larger aggregate than those of Obion
County. We haven't at this time a
statement of the deposits in Weakley
County. The following is the acre
age in farms, shown by the census
of 1910: Gibson County, 341,305;
Weakley County, 332,809; Obion
County, 307,621. Perhaps a body of
our land is somewhat more fertile
than the lands of Gibson end Weak
ley, but it is no doubt fact that
the agricultural products of both
Gibson and Weakley are greater
than ours. Now, the livestock is to
be charged with the balance which
makes Obion's valuation larger than
either of the two border counties.
1t may be that these matters have
been investigated thoroly, but it is
the proper time to make few plain
statements and to direct an inquiry
to the department, asking that these
things be made plain to taxpayers.
This has always been a PROPOSE
tion which concerned taxpayers when
a revision of assessments was pro-
posed by the State, and If by any
p lrpose or chance one part of the
State or any one county is favored
over another it should be settled at
once. The assessments should, il
possible, bear equally on all the
individual taxpayers of the State.
The young men and young women
who are expected to compete for the
prize of 10000 offered for the best
suggestion for the next Republican
national platform will find that in
the art of using language without
saying anything they can learn much
from the authors of previous plat
forms of the G.. o. P.

TO THE TAXPAYERS
OF ODION COUNTY

For the purpose OF correcting the falst
impression which prevails in some
parts Of your county that the rate Of
taxation will not be reduced as the as
sessment is increased, / beg to submit
to you statement showing approximate
ly what your State and County rate
will be for 1920.
Based on the value OF real estate, es-
tablished by proof throughout the State,
and upon the estimated value of prop
erty and railroad and public utility
property, the assessment for the whole
State for 1920 should exceed $1,000
000, 600, and your State rate will be re.
duced to 25c and perhaps lower
Your County rate in 1919 waa 90c.
The total assessment for your County
in 1919 was in round numbers about
$13, 0s7, 800.
The total assessment for your County
based on the proven value of real estate
and estimated assessment of personal
property and railroads should be about
$43, 300, 900.
Based on these estimates, your Coun-
ty rate for 1920 should not exceed for
all County purposes &c.
Making your total State and County
rate for 1920, SIC.
As compared with a total State and
County rate for 1919 of $1.60.
Your County Court will not fix the
county tax rate definitely in your coun-
ty until the State Board has completed
its work and your rate will then be
fixed on the new assessment. Your
county rate should be reduced by your
County Court in exactly the same pro-
portion that the assessment is increased.
The work OF the State Board of Equali-
zation in assessing all property at actual
cash value will not increase your Coun-
ty taxes One Dollar. This statement is
being issued that you may be definite
ly assured that the rate OF taxation will
be reduced as the assessment is increas-
ed.
You will understand that we are GO
ing to do all in our power to- put per-
sonal property on the tax books and
we are now making an energetic inves-
tigation of the property Of allacorpora-
tions. We know that the increase in
the value OF these classes OF property
will be enormous. X illustrate, we
have proof in our office now fixing a
on the property OF one cor
poration of over $4,000 600, which
was assessed in 1919 at about $780,
900, or about per cent OF its value.
We are now valuing the property OF
another corporation which was assessed
in 1919 at 100000. This corporation

assessment. We have not yet consen-
ted to this assessment, for we believe
that our complete proof will show that
it is worth more money. The home
owners OF your county have been pay
ing practically all the taxes OF these
two gigantic corporations. We are 60
ing to give you a square deal and you
should not be disturbed by misunder-
of the law or by false state
ments about its effect.
Yours very truly,

Swinging Monument
Found i'm Rockies

CANON CITY, Colo. Feb. e-Gently
swaying to and fro, a huge granite
monolith forming a unique natural mon
ument has been discovered on Green
mountain, several miles north Of this
city. 1t is believed to be the only swing
Ing monument" In the world.
The shaft is more than 100 feet high
and In the course Of many years has
become free from all surrounding earth
formation, except at the base, which is
about twelve feet wide. In the center,
the granite column is about fifty feet
IN thickness and tapers off to width at
the summit practically the same as at
the base.
Lee Hughitt water commissioner of
Canon city, and A. V. Hodgin, Free
mont county commissioner, came across
the phenomenon recently while on hunt
ing trip. They report that the entire
shaft moves, probably from two to three
feet at the apex, and the swinging is
constant under the pressure of light
winds. The base Of the shaft, they said,
Pests in a small hollow about three feet
IN depth and the contiguous granite
formation has been entirely disconnected.
