LOGIC.

The Probe, a labor organ Of
Nashville, wears at its masthead
the following:
TODAY
The Government which was de-
signed for the people, has got in.
to the hands of bosses and Their
employers, the special interests.
An Invisible Empire has been set
up above the forms of democ-
racy. Woodrow Wilson.
Supposedly an endorsement of
the opinion of Woodrow Wilson
that someone was king of an In
visible Empire.
And on its rear page, supposed
ly from staff correspondent, it
says:
"Cummins speech. prepared a
month ago and submitted to Will
son is well, you know what it
would be, Our glorious party
and people, our SPLENDID execu-
tive, upholder of American ideals
and traditions, firm as a rock in
a storm, respected in Europe, les
pecially in England), the man
who made America aworld pow
er, we love him for the enemies
he has made, the magnificent
record of the Democratic admin
istration that carried the great
world war to a triumphant con-
clusion, abuse of the Republicans
and the Chicago Convention,
glittering generalities, Fourth of
July and fireworks, saying much
and nothing. Words, words,
words! Why waste money on
it?
There is no doubt the above
paragraph is plain, unadulterat-
ed sarcasm. If not, why is it
characterized as words, mere
words. If not sarcasm, but the
truth the Wilson paragraph quot
ed first, must allude to his own
regime. and he and his gang are
the Invisible Empire.
1t is hard to reconcile the two
paragraphs as given. One or
both of them must be false, but
in November next, the Invisible
Empire, whoever is responsible
for it, will come to an end and
our beloved country once more
start on toward its destined
greatness.

QUESTION TO ANSWER.

Gov. Roberts, in a letter te
County Judge l.. P. Brewer, urg'
es the county court to fix a tax
rate not exceeding "a cents.
state and county. This, how
ever. is dependant on the work
of the equalization board, if it
gets values sufficiently high. II
the instructions of the state con-
stitution were needed there would
not be need of all this pother re-
garding doubling taxes. While
property, real and personal, has
been raised in value, what about
the bond or stock? Has it been
raised in value, or could it be
raised in value? What difference
is there between the tax which
should be assessed against a man
who invested $3.50 in a house
fifteen years ago and now is fore
ed to assess that house with prac-
tically no Improvements what
ever at twice or three times the
money, and the man who invested
$3.50 in bond or share? To main
tain the parity of values that
bond should be worth for taxable
purposes. $500 to $3.50. We
would like for the So. Pittsburg
Hustler to Sort of reconcile this
sort of tax raising scheme with
its claims. What's the justice in
it? We are not talking about
farmers now. 1t is the small
property owner. The farmer
can be plundered any time, for
the poor fellow never loses any
thing, according to the opinion
of the tax grabbers.

We are in receipt from a gen.
tleman of the county of a state
ment from Nashville that the
tax rate, if the tax values of
Marion stand as laid down by the
tax assessor, will be only 84c.
This sounds too good to be true,
but it does not mean much after
all. For instance, a $3.50 dwell
ing, taxed at 81. SO rate, has here
tofore been taxed $6.25. If it's
value is now fixed at $3.50, with
no Improvements, on account of
the high price of lumber and la
Dor, at an 84c rate it would be
taxed $3.50, or SC more for a low
rate and a lot of row. This is on
ly a sample illustration and
might be worse. but the people
are living in hopes that it wont.
The result seems about to be
merely higher valuation at a
lower rate. And of course with
a low tax rate argument will be
brought to bear that we must
have more bonds to build roads,
losing sight of the watered val
ues.

OBSTACLES TO A THRU LINE

Bledsoe county is making prepar-
atlons to complete her road to the Sc.
qustchie county line at Mt. Airy, the
survey having already been begun
and the work of grading will begin
soon. This is a much needed
thoroughfare and will give us road
which will be passable in dry weather
the year round to connect the county
seats of Bledsoe and Sequatchie.
Between PABLO and Mt. Airy this is
one of the worst roads in the county
and constant advertisement of the
county's non-progresslveness, as our
citizens are compelled to travel this
road great deal at all times of the
year. Sequatchie county will lay a
ebert road from Mt. Airy to Dun.

below this point. While the road

road in Sequatchie county on 10 the
Marion county line has some pterty

county line to the surfaced road in
that county is pretty rough it can be
travelled in dry weather and if these
counties will look after their part of
the road we can have a nice connect.
ing road the entire length of the
valley.
Now while we are completing our
grade on the road to Mt. Airy if Sc"
quatcie county will fill in few mud
holes, which are trial to her citizens
who live along the way, and terror
to autoists who chance to pass, and
Marion will finish her grade to the
line, we will have a road over which
we can pass in comparative safety
and comfort the year around
Bledsonian, Pikeville.
We have been assured by
Judge Brewer that just as soon
as the main road from Richard
City to Suck Creek is complete
he will turn his attention to the
other roads, for then the county
machinery will be released. The |
main road is a proposition which
should have been settled long a.
go, and many promises havebeen
made regarding it, which have
never been fulfilled, and work
done on it has been done by Ma
rion county, with only a small |
amount of money available as
compared with the mileage.

ENFORCED SAVINGS.

] q =
lievable, were it not taken from
a reputable paper. the Brooklyn
Citizen, quoting from a reput.
able source, the cooperative
league of America:
This is the story of how the
government compelled certain
| people to be profiteers against
their will. The story is told by
Mrs. Warbosse, educational d.
rector of the Cooperative League
of America.
1t seems that 600 men confront
ed with the high cost of living
about two years ago organized a
cooperative bakery in Paterson,
New Jersey. Within a year they
were doing $3.50, 1000 worth of
business.
Their bakery sold bread at b IL
cents a loaf-a pound loaf. When
the war came on and the Food
Administration got busy, those
bakers, along with the others,
were ordered to charge 10 cents
a loaf for their bread.
They sent a committee to Wash
ington to protest. In Washing
ton they with com mittees from
other bakeries privately operat-
ed protested that they would be
ruined if compelled to sell a pound
loaf for 10 cents.
Paterson co.operatives felt that
it was necessary to obey the law
so they went back home and sold
their bread for 10 cents a loaf.
But there was a profit of 8 IL
cents additional on each loaf The
money piled up so rapidly they
did no know what to do with it
$50 in order to distribute it the
co-operators decided to give con-
certs and illustrated travalogues
to their members.
But the money still piled up,
and now the Paterson co-opera-
tives are furnishing new model
six-story building, whichis devo-
ted to recreation and other pur-
poses, paid for with the surplus
accumulated profits by the enfor-
ced 10-cent price for a loaf of
bread"
And this is how the 10-cent
loaf was fastened on the people,
an arbitrary ruling and against
the wish of the bread makers.
And if we know anything of high |
prices the 10 cent loaf has made |
many go hungry who could have
bought a loaf of bread could it be |
secured for Sc. So the six-story |
recreation building is really a
monument to enforced savings.
which took Bic per loaf from the
over and above a reas-
,nable profit.
No wonder we have profiteer-
ng when it was enforced and en-
outraged.

MAKING DEATH VALLEY
SAFER FOR MOTORISTS
Great Trackless Waste Being Sign
posted From End to End.

Death Valley, once the terror OF
the traveller in the Southwest and the
last resting place of many early
day prospectors, is being made safe
for travel both day and night.
This erstwhile barrier to human
progress has been conquered by the
automobile. Its trackless waste Of
sand has been signposted and its hid
den waterholes marked by Uncle Sam.
Not content with making the desert
easy to cross for travellers in daylight,
the Automobile Club of Southern Cal
ifornia is going further and is placing
signs in such manner that the rays OF
headlights from passing machines will
fall upon them and guide the night
tourist as safely and surely as the
day traveller.
The Automobile Club also will sign
post all lateral routes of the famous
Death Valley district. Included in
the signposting being done will be a
complete set of road signs directing
tourists to picturesque Palm Canyon,
on the edge of the deSert-one Of the
most unique spots in the world. This
oasis in the sandy wastes is to be
made a national monument by the
