nesseans always did love debate be-.
tween their candidates although they
have not been treated to one since the
days of the Carmack- Patterson race
twelve years ago A debate between
the rival claimants for the democratic
nomination would recall the days
when Lean Jim Jones" and Polk and
gHatton and Johnson and the other
sgiants of the past, were wont to take
their claims to the people.
In the pending campaign Mr.. Crab
tree has really made but one issue
against the governor and that is on
the assessment act of 1919. The gov
ernor retorts by charging that ii. it is
bad law the candidate from Chatta-
nooga voted for one bit worse when
member of the senate in 1917. These
are issues that involve the whole
question Of taxation and there is no
more important one In the realm of
government, state or federal. 1t would
be much more enlightening to the
people to have the two candidates on
the stump together so that neither
could dodge any phase Of the issues.
1t is difficult to see how Crabtree can
decline the issue. 3
Neither Roberts or Crabtree, going
alone will have any sizeable crowds
to hear them They will probably not
average two hundred voters to the
county. If they engaged in debate
they would have not less than 1000
people to the county to hear them.
One trip to town would answer for
both candidates. This is the age of
conservation. Time would be saved
both voters and candidates and one
meeting place would serve the needs
of two. BY all means let us have a
debate this year between Roberts and
Crabtree. f F$ #t

Estimated That There Are That Many
CANNES That Will Be Subject to the

Sheep Losses Already In.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
Just as soon as the county beard
of equalization finally approves the
tax assessment for the county, which
will be the last of next week, and the
books are sent to the state board, Tax
Assessor Webb Williams will begin
the work of collecting the dog taxes
in the county Mr.. Williams has com
pleted the assessment of these taxes
and he expects to begin early next
month to calling on the people to pay
them.
The aggregate number of the dogs
Of the county that will be taxed can
not yet be definitely stated as the
records are not fully completed, but
from some of the districts which
have been finished, it is believed that
the number will not be far from 5000
for the county. Even if they were
all taxed at 81 each this would br.ns
in $4,000 but there are many females
that are taxed at So each.

Tax Assessor Williams has bee

Tax Assessor Williams has been
so busy with the regular assessments
that he has had no time to press the
collection Of the dog taxes He stat
ed, however. that this would be
comparatively easy task as he had
found very few people who objected
to this tax in making the assess
ments.
There will be plenty of need for
good collections on this tax judging
by the claims that have been filed
during the first six months of the
year. More than $1,000 in claims
have already beon filed with Trustee
Burns, and should an equal number
come in during the last half of the
year it would take $4,000 to pay for
the destruction done by the dogs IN
Maury county in 1920. Under the
law none of the claims can be paid
until January /, for if the funds are
not sufficient to pay the claims
in full they will be paid pro rata.

COAL SCARCE AND
PRICES ARE HIGH
LITTLE HOPE HELD OUT FOR
ANY IMMEDIATE IMPROVE
MENT IN SITUATION.

There has been no improvement in
the local coal situation. On the con-
trary the price is advancing and the
supply lis not increasing. Local deal
ers are getting some coal, nothing
like enough to meet their demands,
but they are having to pay ofancy
prices for it. But so anxious are the
people to put in their winter supply
before the cold weather comes that
they are ready to pay the premium
that is required. The mines hold out
no hope for any immediate improve
ment in the he, situation. From present
indications Columbia is surely face to
face with the possibility at least of a
real fuel famine during the coming
winter.

TWO OF THEM IN YEARS TESTS
GO TO THE HEAD OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE CLASSES.

(F'rom Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
Maury county's fame for Jerseys
was further enhanced when two
daughters of Maury county bulls, now
in the west, scored high during the
past month on the register of merit.
A daughter of Hiram Mccoy, the
great Chapman bull, went 500 pounds
in years test and was at the top
in her class. A daughter of Exile
Landseer, Frank Wheeler's great ami
NAL, made 600 pounds of butter in her
years test and was also at the top
In her class. Every COW of the eight
daughters of Maury county taken to
the Pacific coast herd is now high IN
the register of merit.

league does. 1t makes the state the
mother and wet nurse of every citi-
zen of the state. II "nationalizes" ev-
erything except the farms and they
would be owned by the state but the
leaguers are mostly farmers and are
not willing to take the medicine they
have forced down the throats of other
business interests.
Although the Times is pretty close
to President Wilson and has been a
devoted admirer and defender of his
administration, half socialistic as 1t
has been, it has never before profess
ed any pleasure over the triumph of
socialism In any form.

BUY HOME PRopuc1s.

There has been appearing in the col
umns of The Herald for some time
an advertisement of the Phoenix Ma
tional Bank that should attract more
than passing interest. 1t urges the
people of Maury county to buy their
own products and especial reference
is made to the meats and lards packed
in such great abundance by farmers
Of the county last fall and winter.
This Is advice that ought to be fol-
lowed. Not merely i'll the purchase
Of the finished products of the hog
but in other things. 1t is but an
other form Of that cooperation so
earnestly urged at all times and which
is often the price of community
success and prosperity. Preference
should always be given home pro-
ducts, home labor, and home enter
prise. The idea that because an ar
ticle or working man, whether one
or, Drawn or brian, comes from some
distance away is of itself is a sign
Of superiority has no foundation
upon which to rest. The oldadage
about prophet in his own home
should not be rule of life.

COUNTING THE VOTERS.

It's readers are gravely assured by
the Chattanooga News that care.
full poll Of the voters of Hamilton
county gives Crabtree a majority of
5000 The Nashville Banner retorts
by showing how, in its columns, Rob-
erts will get majority of 10000 in
Shelby county. That gives the COVER
nor a lead of 5000 with ninety three
counties to be, heard from. The Her
aid has no right to question the ac-
curacy OF either count, but it will
bet dollars to dough nuts that Ham
ilton county won't poll 5000 votes in
the primary nor will Shelby cast
double that number.

LINE OF DIVISION.

In this great campaign the republi-
can party will be the conservative par.
ty. 1t will stand by the ancient land
marks Of the republic; it has refused
to flirt with socialism or sovietism in
any form. A desperate effort is be-
ing made to make the democratic par
ty the party of the radicals, that it
may attract the forces Of discomfort
who are in rebellion against the re-
publican candidates and platform.
From present indications these forces
will prevail and the democratic party
will become the refuge of all the So
called "progressives" who yainly i'm
agine that they can build better
system upon the ruins of one that has
endured for a hundred and fifty years
Expediency, the pulse feeling politi-
clans who are without any convic.
tions, who seek only the road that
leads to victory, regardless of the
price that must be paid in sacrifice OF
eternal princiBtes, all of these con
sideratons dictate policy of radical
ism to the democrats. But against
1t there rise the ghosts of it's found
ers and saints who prostest at so un
holy dissertation of the ancient
faith. The spirits of Jefferson and
Jackson and Cleveland groan in ago
ny at the prospect of McAdoo on a
radical platform.

EXTRA SESSION.

1t is to be hoped that Gov. Roberts
will not yield to the hue and cry of
his political enemies and act in haste
in calling special session of the
Legislature. There is not real de-
mand among the people of Tennessee
for special meeting of the law max.
ers at this time. Outside of two daily
papers and some politicians who are
thinking more about returns next
November than they are about the well
fare of Tennessee no one is agitated
over special session. The President
went far afield when he urged the
governor to act. There was time a
few years ago when a governor of a
sovereign state, upon question that
was not vital to the defense of the ma
ton, would have promptly resented
such unwarranted and wholly unjusti-
fed interference. If the nation were
threatened with war or invasion or
democratic government were in jeop-
ardy within the confines of the state,
the President would be warranted in
asking for special session of the leg
islature. Otherwise he is not, and he
has probably not made vote for the
democratic party in Tennessee by his
telegram
No one is excited about woman's
suffrage in this state. II is far from
being a burning issue The people are
very much interested in the shortage
OF labor on the farms, the necessity
for stimulating production in every
way possible, the high cost of living.

JUDGE RICHARDSON
LONG ON THE BENCH

Judge John E. Richardson, of Muir
freesboro, who was here Tuesday to
hold court for Judge Turner, is popu-
lar with the bar of Columbia. He is
one of the oldest judges in point of
service in the state having been con
tinuously on the bench since 1904. He
is a member of the famous Richard
son family, charged for a long time
by opponents with being an oligarchy
in the politics of the state.
Judge Richardson is a brother of
the late James ID. Richardson for
twenty years representative in con-
gress from the fifth district. When
Richardson retired from congress he
was succeeded by his brother-in-law
Judge William c. Houston, who had
been ten years on the circuit bench
The latter in turn was succeeded by
John E. Richardson, his brother-in-
law, who has been on the bench
ever since. James D. Richardson and
W. G. Houston altogether served
thirty-four years in congress y and
Houston and John E. Richardson have
served together already twenty-six
years on the bench. Judge Richard
son has six years yet to serve before
the expiration Of his term. He is re
garded as one Of the ablest judges in
Tennessee and has been three times
elected without opposition.

LAWRENCE COUNTY.

Few counties in Tennessee have
made the progress the past ten years
that has been made by the
neighboring county OF Lawrence
Its population increased over
5000 during the past decade gain Of
around forty per cent. But that Is
not the whole story. In that period
the number of farms increased from
1902 to $500, showing that the great
bodies of barren" lands, improperly
so-called, have been purchased and
settled y small farmers. This makes
the population gain one for congratu-
lation. The Herald cannot rejoice
over the increase in urban popula-
ton; it is not healthy sign. But in
Lawrence county the increase has
been among the tillers of the soil.
Another gratifying feature is that in
Lawrence county every one but sew
enty.nine farms is operated by white
men and they. are valued at over SILL
100000 as compared with about $4,000
900 ten years ago. The number of i'm
proved acres has Increased from 80
600 to 100000, a gain Of fifty per
cent. Three-fifths of the farms of the
county are operated by the owners.
The tenancy proportion is too large,
but 1t Is probably below the average
for the state. During the past ten
years the corn yield Of the county
has doubled and last year a million
bushels were grown. Ten years ago
the cotton crop was only 500 bales
year over LOO bales were produced.
The county's solid development enti-
ties Its citizenship to feel a pardona,
Bile pride.
With record Of achievement like
this, The Herald again insists that
Lawrence county be given that repre-.
sentation in the legislature to which
II Is constitutionally entitled. The
outrage perpetrated twenty years ago
should and must be rectified Law
renee county may be bit off in poll
ties, some of the officials given the
state are not altogether creditable,
but the county must not be disfran.
chised for the mistakes of few. r.

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

. There is no zeal like that Of a re-
cent convert. Since President Wilson
discovered two years ago that the war
could not be won unless women were
given equal suffrage through federal
amendment he has been persistently
at work trying to have the nineteenth
amendment ratified. He has tele-
graphed Gov. Roberts urging an extra
session of the general assembly that
the amendment may have it's ratifica-
ton by the necessary thirty-sixth
state.
It is exceedingly doubtful whether
under the constitution of Tennessee
the members of the legislature would
be. justified in voting on this amend
ment. A clause in the state constitu-
tfon provides that federal amend
illents shall not be submitted for rat
iffcation except to legislature chos-
en- after their submission. The nine
teenth amendment was submitted to
the states after the present legisa-
ture Of Tennessee had been elected.
II is argud with convincing force that
in view of the supreme courts deci-
sion on the Ohio referendum clause
that the provision OF the Tennessee
constitution is in conflict with the Of
ganic law Of the nation and is there
fore void. That is doubtless true. 1t
is altogether probable that the high
est court Of the land would sustain a
resolution of ratification passed by
the present legislature.
But there Is another phase of the
situation that is not so easy Of solu-
ton. Every member of the general
assembly has taken solemn oath to
support and defend the constitution Of
Tennessee This oath is or ought to
be binding. Now can the members
disregard this oath and salve their
SOhsSiChNCS ny doSulliIS tudI Jllc pIU-
visions of the constitution of Tennes-
see are null and void? Have they
the right to make such an assump-
ton? 1t is certainly asking much of
the members of the legislature to
fagrantly violate their oaths upon a
mere assumption that might not prove
well founded. 1t were better that wo-
mans suffrage should be postponed
Tor years than that sworn officials
should treat their sacred oaths to
support and bear true allegiance to
the constitution with scorn and rcon-
tempt. ~
There should be no rush about call
ing the Legislature together. Many
Of the members are farmers. They
are needed at home now There is no
loud demand for woman's suffrage in
Tennessee. The question can wait at
least until there is some assurance
that the farms of the state will re-
spond to the needs of the hour.
