Ho1c Sliding
Scale Operates
H. Knox BrySon, Candidate
for R. R. Commissioner,
Shows Its Trend on Cor
poration and Farm.

Knoxville Tenn, July 2S,-(Special)
The sliding scale OF Governor Rob
erts pet tax law was given thorough
exposition here last night by II. Knox
E3rysOn, candidate for railroad commits
sioner, in an address to democratic
voters here, which was very well re-
ceived.
1.-THE present administration has at
tempted to pacify the public by telling
1t that the amount OF money to be paid
for taxes on real estate will not be
appreciably increased" he declared.
THAT the law provides a sliding scale,
whereby II the value Of the land is
increased, the rate will be lower In
Let us see how this is; take con-
crete example: We will say that one
OF the public utilities was assessed at
100000, the state rate being 70 per cent
on the hundred dollars. The tax there
fore will be $40. Suppose farm IN the
average county was valued at $4,000.
The assessment In this county has been
increased four times. This farm last
year would pay $40 tax, In 1920 1t would
pay $3.50 Suppose the scale slides from
70 cents on the hundred dollars to bO
cents on the hundred dollars, the tax
on the utility, instead OF $40, will be
$50. Suppose II should slide again to
rs cents. as Is claimed (but no one
knows, the public utility corporation
will pay $25, whereas the farmer 500.
Evidently the taxes on the corpora
ton will be reduced, while the farm
has been increased.
"This rule can be applied to every
county in the state. The railroad com
mission was required by law to assess
public utilities at their actual cash
value on and after the passage Of this
act, hence their oath Of office compelled
them to assess these at cash value In
1919, hence they will not be increased
In 1920, In order to be consistent with
their oath"

LABOR SHORTAGE IS NOT
MENACE TO BUMPER CROP
Situation Relieved, but Only
Temporarily - Year Round
Help Is Needed Badly.

Washington, July 2s.-Q. N. ST.
Shortage OF farm labor ID no longer q
menace TO bumper crops. according to
reports today to the bureau OF farm
management OF the department OF agri-
culture. The farm labor situation has
been relieved materially and there will
be adequate labor for the harvesting
OF the bumper crops, according to the
bureau. 1t Is pointed out that the ac-
reage planted was limited because OF a
labor shortage. but that exceptional
crops have Offset this.
Representatives OF farmers here are
not rejoicing over the labor situation
however, J. b. Howard. president OF the
American Farm Bureau Federation to-
day declared that farmers are but tenn
porarily relieved.
Regardless OF recent apparent Inn
scarcity OF labor still continues to be
the limiting factor In agricultural pro-
duction." Howard said. "The high

time, but in addition on most farms he
must have regular all the year

seriously disarranged the cropping sys-

Higher prices are the only permanent
solution OF the farm labor shortage ae-
cording TO Howard. He declared that
unless food prices go higher farmets
cannot compete with the cities FOR year
round labor. He further declares that
higher food prices would send n wave
Of labor back to the farms.
Reports TO the bureau OF markets Of
the department OF agriculture do not
indicate however. any general tendency
toward an increase 10 food prices but
to the contrary there IL n decline shown
