DOUBLE DEALING IN
PROPERTY ASSESSMENT.

The more one hears of the as
sessment of property made over the
state by assistant statisticians, the
more rotten it becomes.
Readers Of the Progress will re-
member that communications from
the Governor and Chief Statistician
Louthan stated over and over again
that county tax assessors had all the
authority they ever had, the only re-
quirement being that they ASSESS
PROPERTY AT IT'S VALUE; hence,
the fact followed that in cases where
the state had over and under assess
ed property, the assessor had the
right to lower and raise the assess
ment, as he always had-but later
developments and statements made
from many counties have convinced
us that the assessors had secret in
structiOns from Nashville not to low
er any of the assessments made by
the assistant statisticians. We have
ample evidence right here in Hender-
son county that state man gave the
positive instructions that assessments
might be raised but not lowered. This
evidence of double dealing and crook
edness in the matter is thoroughly in
in keeping with the whole scheme en-
braced and contemplated in the as
sessment law that the governor takes
such pride in fathering.

materials produced by the states west Of
the Allegheny mountains.

studied and figured and the last Of the

DON. CARE WHAT THEY HINK.
BY MARY MARSHALL s. DUFyKG-

DON, CARE WHAT THEY HINK.
It was said not long ago that the rea-
son so many housewives grew nervous
and depressed owe rthe present high cost
OF living was because they worried about
what their neighbors might think of
them.
When they found their bills for the
old-fashioned standbys were higher than
they could afford to pay their first
thought was:
How awful to be in debt; yet I can't
set the table for less, for all my eigh-
bors would think me stingy."
Now the whole point in this: Don't
care what your neighbors think about
the economies you practice.
Practice them rather than go In debt.
Do anything to keep from worrying
too much about the present condition of
high prices.
If you can economic on the table
without injuring the health OF your fam
lily do it.
1t is really Far better bred to econo-
mize and keep out OF debt than to go into
debt in order to keep your neighbours
opinion of you.
And what is more, the neighbor who
idly criticizes her friends and neighbors
who have different standards Of living
than she is not a nelghbor whose opin-
ion is quite worth worrying about

"Heigh- hot" said Puss to himself.
81 wonder what will happen next"
And then, all OF a sudden, an old owl
commenced to boot; so Puss stopped and
asked him what time it WAS, for 1t was
growing dark, and he began to wonder
where he was to sleep.
I forgot to wind my watch last night,
And I didn't wake up this morning
In time to ask robin, you see.
For 1 was sleepy and yawning.
"oh, dear!" said Puss, what shall
I do?"
Don't worry" said the kind old owl.
s"'You can sleep in my nest. There is
room for us all :"
So Puss took off his boots and climbed
up the tree, and he nearly dropped one
of his boots, for it wasn't easy to hold
them between his teeth.
Well, when he got inside of Mr. Owls
house he found 1t a very nice sort Of a
place, for Mrs. Owl kept it neat and
clean And when the next morning
came Puss gave them gold piece and
climbed down the tree and set of once
more upon his journey of adventure.
And by and by he came to a little house,
so he peeked through the open indow.
what are you doing, my little menu"
asked Puss Junior.
Making coats for gentlemen" replied
six little mice, who were seated around
a table busily sewing.
shall 1 come in and bite of your
threads?" asked Puss with a grin.
mol mol You might bite off our
heads"
And before he could say a word they
scampered away. Wasn't that too bad?
For Puss never would have harmed
them, and, besides. wonder what the
gentlemen viii say when they don't get
their coats on time. Perhaps they viii

So generous little Puss Junior, opened

then he said goodbye and went upon his
