TAX ASSE SSMENTS.

/ If the. values fixed by the state stat
istic. ans upon real estate in the other
counties OF Tennessee are as wide
of the mark, as unjust and as ineqult-
able as they are in Maury county
somebody is going 10 hear something
drop along about the ides of Novem,
Der, or the folks will have to get in
a better frame OF mind.
No one can defend the old method
of assessing property in this state,
but it did have one advantage, there
was one thing about it that appealed
to the Anglo-SaXon and that was it
was made by local men in whose selec-
ton the people who paid the taxes
had a direct voice 1t is quite Surpr g
ing but fact, nevertheless, that we
will submit to all sorts of ineff12iency.

down on the county from 4 state board
have evidently done bune,ins Job

would have been the work Of the local
machinery. There would have been
something in the scheme to have com

the present crude attempt 10 raise

Admittedly Tennessee is behind in
her system of assessing and collect.
ing taxes. The machinery is cum,
helsome and expensive Too large

departments while we do moi have
