Ex-oFF!cERs UNEMPLOYED

BERLIN, Dec. 6-Many of the 50, GOO former German officers discharg- ed since the signing of the armistice have joined the great army of unem- pioyed in Germany. a few have gone to work at hard labor and others are trying to make small pensions pay for the expensive necessaries of mere existence.
 Officers belonging to old aristo- cratic, once wealthy families are in no better situation than their com rades who relied for living upon their army pay. They have long since disposed of most of their per aonal property and it is not uncom- mon to see one of them suppress ing his pride, and offering to some foreigner a family heirloom for enough money to pay a grocery bill.
 Those who are doing nard work must labor half day for the price of a pound of meat and all day for a pound of butter. A number of them have been unable o buy civilian clothes and are working in uniforms thin and frayed by much wear.

ing in his personal property, the new
assessment law is going to be a great
help to him.
What good reason can any honest
man give for not wanting every foot of
land in Tennessee assessed at it's ac-
tual value? How else can you go
about it to make the tax burden equal ?
This is the sort of law we should have
had years ago, because it is nothing
but right and just that every man
should pay his portion of the tax.
Instead of trying to find fault with
the new assessment law the people of
the State should now. begin to band
themselves together for the one pur-
pose of seeing that the next legisla-
ture passes a law that will uncover
all the personal property in the State.
Such a law as this was advocated by
Gov. Roberts at the time the real es-
tate assessment law was passed, but
a number of the large financial insti-
buttons and corporations of the state
got their hands on the legislature
and prevented its passage. However,
through the diligence and untiring
work of those in charge of applying
the new assessment law, under the
direction of A. V. Louthan, a large
amount of personal property has been
uncovered and assessed as it should
be.

A FAIR EXAMPLE

On the question of the new tax as
sessment law in Tennessee if the non
believers in the wisdom of the law
would for a few minutes throw aside
all politics and all prejudice and study
the merits of the measure they would
readily become convinced Of its good
points. To show how the new law is
going to work for the benefit of all
those who have in the past been fair
and turned IN all their real and per-
scnal property for taxation the follow
ing example is given:
On then tax books of Smith County
are found the names Of two Of our
honest farmers who are co-partners
in business. They own two farms, one
of these farms is assessed at $4,000,
and the other at $14 900, under the old
assessment plan, and in addition to
this these gentlemen were straight
and turned in their prsonal property
which amounted to $4,000. These
three items added together make a
total of $77,0 900. The taxes for last
year ~on the $1,000, at the tax
rate of S1,66 per hundred, amounted
to S1,278.20,the amount of taxes these
gentlemen paid.
Now, under tho new assessment law
the assessed valuation of one of the
above farms has been raised to 100000
and the other has been raised to
$45, 900. Add their $4,000 worth of
personal property to this and you
have a total assessment of S150,009.
Multiply this S15O,0C0 by the new ap-
proximate tex rate for Smith County,
50 cents, ard ycu have $4,000, the
amount of taxes these gentlemen will
have to pay for the present year,
instead OF the 81 ,278,2 20 they have been
paying in the past.
Of course you understand that this
shoe will not fit the man who has
heretofore greatly under-assessed
his property and who has heretofore
been hiding his PERSONAL property, but
the man who has been coming up with
anything like a decent assessment Oh
his real estate and who has been turn

picture of Representative CordelI
Hull of Tennessee on its front page
over a special Washington dispatch,
saying:
The establishment of "a system of
arbitration for the settlement of
controversies arising between in
dividual traders of different na-
lions at. an international trade
congress to be called soon by the
President is proposed in a Joint
resolution introduced in the house
today by Representative CordeIl

This has reference to international
commercial dealings not of immediate
interest to, Mr.. Hubs Tennessee con

Of much Importance in the nations
business. Possibly the resolution was
introduced at the solicitation of the
President, who has called the Interna-
tIonal Trade Congress. The general
purpose of the conference will be in
maintenance of commercial relations
with the outside world and therefore
the whole country is concerned.
Mr.. Hull is disposed to be quiet and
makes little effort at display, but he
nevertheless is forging to the front in
