NEW TAX RATE TO
BE ABOUT 6OCENTS
Special to the Enterprise.

Special to the Enterprise.
Nashville, July 14.-Since Colonel
Crabtree has made the assessment
law enacted by the general assem-
bly, of 1919 the paramount issue in
the campaign for democratic nomi-
nation for governor this year, it is
only reasonable to ask that the peo-
Pile give careful study of the opera
ton of the act. The increased ass
sessment will decrease the rate, as
set forth herein and the figures are
applicable to this county.
Under this act, the legal duty is
imposed upon the county courts OF
the several counties Of The state to
fix the county rate of taxation
The law in this particular has not
been changed, but remains the same
as it has been for many ears.
In view of the equitable assess
ments which will be effected, under
the act of 1919, having for its pur-
pose the equalization of assessments
Of property, thereby placing the bur
den of taxation justly and equally
on all taxpayers, the rate to be
fixed for all county purposes will be
very materially reduced.
The state tax rate for all purposes
on the old assessment has been 70
cents on every hundred dollars, and
ON the new assessment it will be
about 75c on the hundred dollars if
the assessments as made by the
| county tax assessor are substantial
ly approved by the county boards
of equalization. The tax rate for
all purposes in Weakley county last
year was $1.25, making total
county and state rate of S1.95.
Under the new assessment and by
application Of proper economy, the
tax rate for all county purposes for
Weakley county for this year
should not exceed IS cents, if the
county board Of equalization sub
stantially supports the value Of

Week ending July 10. Due to
the national holiday on Monday and
a good rain on Tuesday at noon,
not as much field work was accom-
plished as farmers would have liked
to have done. A number of fields
of young corn and tobacco failed
to get the needed working. Many
farmers reported that crops as a
whole were not in shape to take Sat
urday Afternoon, which accounted
for the small crowds in town. Old
corn made rapid growth and looks
very promising, however, some fields
yet to be thinned, cotton growing
nicely and clean, many. fields of
beans and peas planted and also the
late resting ear patch. The cloudy,
cool weather prevented the remain
ing fields of hay from being cut.
