no money in the treasury. The assess

Gen, Hannah said that the investi-
cations of the state board revealed
the fact that there were 22 counties
in the state that were receiving from
two to three times more money from
the state treasury than they were pay
ing in taxes under the old assessment
law, 1t was shown that the other coun-
ties OF the state were forced TO bear
the burden of taxation escaped by these
counties
II was also pointed out that many
large corporations. including Swift &
Co, Armour e. Co. the Pullman Pal
ace Car Co, Standard Oil Co, and many
others, did not pay one penny or taxes
in Tennessee prior to the inauguration
of the new assessment law. These large
concerns are now forced to DAY their
proportional share of the taxes and as
a result the burden on the small prop
