HOTEL LOSS RUNS UP
INTO LARGE SUM
Public Has Mania For Collecting
Souvenirs Such as Towels, Trays,
Spoons, Pins, Soap, Combs,
Brushes and Blankets.

"People who visit hotels show many
peculiarities," prominent hotel man
said to the writer the other day.
Every often people who would not
think of stealing anything which they
considered of real value, will take lit
tie things from hotel, as souvenirs,
not realizing that everything hotel
man buys costs money and in the ag-
gregate the hotel is apt to lose ar
ticles to the value of hundreds Of dol
lars every year.
~ never could quite figure out what
becomes Of all Of our hotel towels.
They never actually wear out, still
we have to replace them thirty dozen
at a time. The only way that l can
explain the disappearance of the tow
els is that good many people get
them mixed with their own belongings,
and often take them because they
look good and think they will make
nice souvenirs.
81 bought several dozen Of nice lit
tile glass trays to place on the dress
ers for use Of cigarette users, so
that they would not place their cigar
cites on the dresser covers and dam
age them, but these have practically
all disappeared. I placed pin trays
week. even lost eight valuable
woolen blankets during the past year
and while l can overlook the guests
taking the towels, think that taking
blankets at present prices, is nothing
less than stealing.
"You have often heard people brag
about the collection of silverware that
they have secured from the various
hotels which they have visited. This
runs up into money fast and every
hotel keeps pretty close tab on it's
silverware. Soap, combs, brushes
and many other articles disappear
from hotels at an astounding rate.
The travelling public is surely pecu-
liar"

ORGANIZED LABOR WILL
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN

Word was sent out from Washing
ton under date of last Friday that a
committee of the American Fedora
ton of Labor would soon announce
definite plans for the first nation
wide political campaign ever made
in the United States by organized
labor. The fight will be bipartisan
and will be launched in the forth
coming presidential campaign. As
we understand the proposition, can
didates for congress whose records
show them to be hostile to organized
labor, will be bitterly opposed and
new candidates known to be "agin"
unionism will meet the same fate.
On this basis, if the fight is made in
the Eighth District Of Tennessee, ev-
cry union man and every union labor
sympathizer within the bounds Of the
district will vote for Congressman T.
w. Sims-in the event he is a can
didate to succeed himself. Mr.. Sims
has an unbroken record as a friend
of the organized laboring man and
in his former races they have given
him hearty support.

BLOODSHED IN
LEXINGTON KENTUCKY,

More trouble on account of ne
groes. At Lexington, KY, Monday,
five were killed and eighteen wound
ed, including a white woman, when
state troops fired on a mob which
was storming the courthouse to take
out William Lockhart, negro,
who had confessed to attacking and
numbering Geneva Hartman. a
ten year cid school girl, last week.
The mob was 500 strong and the or
der to fire was not given until it was
seen that there was no other way to
stop the mob which was led by a
giant. The attempt to lynch the ne
gro was made after he had confessed
and had been sentenced to die in the
electric chair. Lexington and all Of
Fayette county were put under mar
tial law, with 900 state and Federal
troops patrolling the streets Of the
city to keep order. The shooting tenn
porarily scattered the mob, but it re-
formed and looted pawnshops and
hardware stores to secure firearms.

AMERICAN f. F.
CASUALTIES INCREASE.

Washington, Feb. corrected
figures in casualties in the American
expeditionary forces published today
by the War Department brought the
total to 302,612 instead of 1880
as shown from figures compiled from
weekly reports furnished to the
press. The corrected total was COM
piled by the adjutant general after
comparing his records with those
from France. The difference was
due primarily to the inclusion in the
revised statistics of the total number
Of cases Of wounding reported in
stead Of the number of individual
soldiers receiving wounds. It some
times happened that a soldier was
wounded several times.
The corrected figures were 221,-
059 wounded, TILT dead and
4,432 captured by the enemy and
three missing in action. Casualties in
Siberia were not included.

LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY
TALKS ON NEW TAX LAW

Thomas Fountleroy, staff CORES
pendent of the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, writing from Nashville last
Saturday said that unless the rail
roads Of Tennessee now assessed at
$95,000,000 are raised to. at least
$300,000,000, the burden of the in
crease of taxes under the present adj
ministration will fall more heavily
than ever on the private owners of
farms and city lots. Mr.. Fauntleroy
says "The statement has been made
that the railroads will be raised,
though nobody has undertaken to
suggest how much, or rather how
little" The statement has been
made by Gov. Roberts and Chief
Statistician Louthan that all corpor-
ations of the State will be made to
bear their fair share of taxation UNI
der the new movement to increase
revenues and to equalize property as
sssment and taxation throughout the
State.
Mr.. Fauntleroy says further "The
real test of any imaginary benefits
of the law to the home owners of
Tennessee will eorse when the rail
road figures are announced" That's
fact. The corporation assets must
show an increase with the increase
in private property assesments-and
we have the promise in so many
words. For instance: What sort of
a corporation except a railroad could
Mr.. Louthan have meant in a letter
last week when he said: eve have
proof in our office now fixing a val
uation on the property of one corpor-
alton of over $S,300,000, which is as
sessed in 1919 at about $275,000, or
about three per cent. of its value"
Progress readers will remember
that in the same letter last week ad-
dressed to the taxpayers of Hender-
son county, Mr.. A. V. LOTHIAN, Chief
Statistician, said "We are now valu-
ing the property of another corpora
ton which was assessed in 1919 at
$260,000. This corporation has al
ready consented to FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS ASSESSMENT" He adds
that the five million assessment has
not been accepted because he believed
that the completed proof would show
it worth more money. Does Faunt-
leroy mean to insinuate that
Cover " Roberts, Chief Statistician
Louthan and others of the working
force under the new assessment
movement have sold out all the honor
they might claim for the purpose of
sh;Rs-hg the corporations from taxa
ton and the further purpose of
squeezing revenue needed to run the
State, to the greatest extent, out of
the private property owners?
