DID THE CENSUS
MAN GET YOU

Upon two previous occasions the
census of Dresden showed there
had been no increase in population
here, despite the fact that during
the intervening periodic years
there had been more than 25 new
dwellings, erected here and there
were other evidences of a greatly
increased population.
Now, we do not want this to hap
pen again, and if you live within
the corporate limits of Dresden and
have not been visited by Mr.. Billie
House, the census enumerator, hunt
him up-run him down, search him
out, go after him and give your
name, your wife's name and the
names of all your children. Do this
today.
Let's make Dresden show an in
crease in population.

Washington, Jan. 25.--Variance
between Republican leaders of the

ton today came out in the open.
Closely following incorporation
yesterday of a universal training pro-
vision in the army reorganization

tee with seven out of nine Republi-
cans voting in the affirmative.
Representative Mondell of Wyom-

declared in an address today that
leaders of the party responsible for
Inauguration of such legislation
would be cast into political obliv-
ion.
"Men cannot be trained for a mere
pitance," he said. ut costs 81 900
for six months training for every
man in the regular system. This
amount would be exceeded for men
undergoing their first training, be-
cause of additional clothing and 9TH
er equipment costs. Three hundred
million dollars would. be necessary
to put camps and cantonments in
condition and sixty million dollars is
required for their maintenance each
year" r
Senator Wadsworth of New York
chairman of the Military Commit
tee, yesterday estimated that adop-
ton of four months training for all
youths between the ages of 13 and
81, inclusive, would enable such a
reduction in the regular army estab.

a splendid line of power driven
farm implements, have been issu-
ing a monthly service bulletin for
the benefit of their customers,
mailing the bulletin out. But this
has proven quite expensive, and it
is also doubtful if tie bulletins
are read, and Messrs. Moss & Whit
comb are adopting newspaper adj
vertising to take the place of their
monthly bulletin. Once a month
they will use page in the Enter

appear in the bulletin. This mat
ter is all good and helpful to the

They adopt the Enterprise be-
cause it reaches practically every

NEW TAX RATE WILL
Be FAIR TO JAIL
Statistician Thomas Declares
Property Owners Should
Not Be Alarmed.
Number Al.

jackson, Tenn, Jan. 25.-De-
clarlng that the state tax statisticians
In charge of West Tennessee would
see that the taxpayers in this dis.
trlct get fair deal in the new as
sessments made necessary under the
provisions of the uniform tax law of
the state, Deputy Statistican W J.
Thomas stated yesterday that the tax
assessments now in the hands of the
local tax assessors were authentic in
that they have not been approved bv
the county equalization boards and
Should not occasion alarm on the
part OF the property owners. He
stated that many cases these assess
ments were out of line and that a
number of readjustments would be
made at their meetings next June.
A fair assessment will be made on
the cash valuation basis in eyery in
stance, he states, and the rate will
be reduced so that no material in
crease in the taxes will be effected
except that property that has been
under assessed and has been escap-
ing its proportional share of the tax
es. Statistician Thomas has worked
In each section of the state and is in
a position to be familiar with the.
valuation in each of the grand divis-
ions of Tennessee. He states that
the total valuation of the property
in the state will reach $4,000, OOO,-
600 and that the rate of state taxes
will accordingly be reduced to less
than "a cents per hundred assessed
valuation.
With CORRESPONDING decrease in.
the city and county tax rates, the
total taxes paid by the property own
ers will not increase to an alarming
proportion, officials state. "Seven
men out of every 10 will be benefit
ed by the new tax law" states Statis-
stefan Thomas. The uniform txa
law, he states, will work fairness
in the assessments throughout the
state and correct errors that have
existed in the tax system heretofore.
W, j. Thomas of Jackson and B. N.
Richards of Memphis assisted by J.
T. McTague of Nashville, are the
statisticians in charge of West Ten
nessee.

REPAIR Of LEVEE !.
A BIG PROBLEM
County Judge Hill Believes
Way is Pull L,evee Down
a
Bridges Repaired

Talking with County Judge Hill
on Wednesday with reference to
repairs of Northcutt's levee, south
of Dresden, where so much damage
was done to both bridges and levee
by the big flood two weeks ago,
the judge is of the opinion that the
only way the levee can be repaired
at this time is by going there with
pond scrapers and leveling the levee.
He thinks that it is impossible to get
dirt to fill up he many holes and
breaks in the levee, and, further,
if these places were filled with
fresh dirt it would remain so soft
and muddy that passage over the
levee would not be permissible be-
fore late spring, and that the heavy
spring rains would wash the new
dirt out again, which is, perhaps,
all true.
1t is impossible to get dirt along
side the levee to make these nu-
merous repairs, and to haul the
dirt would be quite an expensive
proposition, only to be washed
away again by the first big rain and
overflow.
Repairs have been made on all
five bridges, except a part of the
main river bridge, and this will
likely be completed by the close of
the week.
It is claimed, and with some de-
gree of logic, that the cause of the
vast amount Of damage done by the
big rain of two weeks ago is that the
water was thrown down on us from
the Henry county drainage ditch in
such a volume, and TALL at once,
there was no outlet for it, and it is
argued with soundness that the ditch
will have to be completed through
this county before there is any re-
lief.
