Not long ago a farm in Grain
ger county sold for $500. Last
year the same tract of land was
assessed at 800, Or two thirds of
it's value. Another farm that sold
for $500 was assessed at $i400.
or less than one-fifth Of its val
ue. The owner Of the first tract
paid last year a tax of $3.50, but
under the new assessment, at
the estimated rate Of $1.13, he will
pay only $685., or 1885 less on
a $500 assessment than he did
on a $1,000 last year. The owner
Of the other farm paid last year
.s49.42. This year the new owner
will pay on $500 q take Of $S4.76
or 1858 more than was paid last
year. Thus it is easy to see that
the little fellow is paying more
than his share of the county's
taxes under the old system.
Equalization in assessments is the
only remedy for this evil.

that is by assessing all property
at it's actual cash value. The law
is not newt is as old as the
Constitution itself, as that. docu-
ment specifically provides that all
property in Tennessee, both per-
sonal and real, shall be taxed &C
cording to it's value. The last
legislature wisely formulated a.
plan to strictly carry into effect
that dormant clause in the State
Constitution. And regardless Ct
the criticism of the politician.
and the vail of the large proper
ty owner this scheme is destined
to become one of the most pepu-
lar in the history of Tennessee.
Equalize assessments, place the
valuation o ma cash basis, make
the levy in each county 81, as to.
meet only the current expenses
and the trick will be turned.

1t is indeed regretable that any
man, set of men, or any political
party will try to make a political
issue of any siheme Or law which
s so beneficial to the public at

the property in in Tennessee. 1t
is also regretable that the cor
porations and large property
owners who have so long been
escaping their share of the public
burden are not willing to equal
izstion in assessment, This fact

The Salvation Army, because of its

Doom Stalks the Profteer.

When we see the concerted action TO.
ward increased production on the
farms, the enormous accumulation OF
merchandise stocks damned to the root
of both foreign and domestic ware
houses, and the constantly shrinking
buying power of our European custom
ers. it is time TO watch for the crumb-
ling of the tissue paper fort in which
the proiiteer has so confidently estab-
lished himself The long suffering con
sumner breathes a sigh of relief when he
reads the significant announcement that
in the month of July prices in this
country dropped &c points, according
to Bradstreet's index, and that the
general tendency in Europe is down
ward. the London Statist reporting its
index number on August at 25+.6, a
decline of III points.
But this gives only a brdseye view
of the situation, and so far as il affects
the pocketbook of the purchaser at the
retail counter offers limited cause for
rejoicing What is more pleasing. and
what indicates more positively that the
day of the profteer is passing, is the
condition in the markets for commod-
