ON OWN ACCORD
Governor Denies Warden Cod
ding's Resignation Requested.
Allen Compliments Work Done
by Lansing Head.

Gov. Henry j. Allen and members of
the state board of administration today
expressed both surprise and regret at
the resignation of J. K. Codding, war
den of the state penitentiary at Lans-
ing.
Governor Allen said Codding handed
in his resigna ton purely of his own
accayd and that he knew of no reason
for the action unless 1t was that Cod
ding was tired of the work and want
ed to get out Of 1t. Codding was first
appointed in 1909 by Governor Stubs
and served until Hodges was elected
and appointed Jerry Botkin to coed
him. When Capper was elected in
1915 he removed Botkin and returned
Codding to the wardenship. In Feb
ruary/l917, Codding was reappointed
by Capper for a fouf-year period end
ing in September. 1921.
MIR. Codding was doing good work. p"
Allen said, land he was very enthu-
siastic about the changes in admins
tration that were agreed upon at the
meeting of the board and heads of the
penal Institutions some time ago"
Members of the board of administra-
ton said it would be hard to find a
man who could take Codding's place
and carry on his work.
Coddins Has Several offers.
aLeavenworth, Kan. Aug. 81. K
Codding has resigned as warden OF
the state penitentiary at Lansing. His
resignation has been mailed to Cover
nor Allen. 1t is to become effective
on September l, if the governor can
name successor by that time. other
wise Warden Codding will remain until
the new warden is named.
| Warden Codding intended to re-
| sign last year, but he was unable to
complete line of work when he had
started, so he held one. Now that
work is done and he is ready to retire
from public service.
What his future plans are he is no
ready to state. He has several offers
more lucrative than the pay of the
| present position, but is not at liberty
to say which one he will take. Three
or four other states have made over
lures to him to take the wardenshiI
of their prisons, but he will not hkel!
remain in that line of work.
| Several cities have also sounded hin
out for city manager. but those posi-
tons have not appealed strongly Il
him. Chautauqua bureaus and lectur'
bureaus. galore, have made hin
tempting offers.
He may take one of those as a sid
Iline. at least. He always has Law
pra ctice to fall back on. He was prac
pointed warden the last time.
Mr.. Codding was first appointe'
warden by Governor StubbsN in 1870
ana served until the Democrats cam
into power in 1913. Governor Hodge
iappointed Jerry Botkin to succeed
him. In 1915 Governor Capper dis
charged Botkin for inefficiency. ant
Ireappcinted Codding, who has held tn
position ever since.

Representative Padgett has three
vacancies in Annapolis Naval Acade
my which will be filed when the ex,
aminations are made next April
These examinations will take place in
Nashville and will be under the direc-
tion of the civil service board. This is
a fine opportunity for three young men
of the seventh congressional district
to get to the nations naval academy
and graduate as commissioned otfic-
ers in Americas splendid navy.
These young men must be between
sixteen and tWentp years of age as of
the first day of April, 1921. If over
twenty ON that date or under sixteen
they will be ineligible They will be
examined and must stand the test both
in physical and mental requirements.
Mr. Padgett can nominate twelve
young men for the examinations, the
three making the highest grades to re-

EXPECTED THAT FINAL ACTION
ON ASSESSMENT WILL BE
MADE BY THAT TIME.
EXACT RATE NOT YET KNOWN
Probable That the State Rate viii Be
More Than the Twenty-Five Cents
Heretofxe Announced BY the Gov
ernor.

Now that the state board has at last
acted on the assessment in Maury
county it is expected that the coln-
ty court will at its October term levy
the taxes for the coming year. This
levy is ordinarily made at the April or
July terms but was delayed this year
awaiting the action of the state board
on assessments. The board will de-
eide, according to its announcement to
Judge Whitthorne, about October l
what the assessment for the county
will be.
The quarterly court will mtet on
Monday October II, and it will then
before it the assessment of the county.
If the state board shold adhere to it's
decision to increase the real estate as
sessment by ten per cent the assess
ed valuation of the property of the
county will be advanced from approxi
mately $31 100000 to around $33,500,-
900 and the new rate will be based oni
this assessment. On the figures made
by the county board rate of around
$1.15 had been figured on as the proba-
Bile total levy in the county, assuming
that the state levy would be twenty
five cents as announced by Governor
Roberts before the primary.
However, it is practically certain
that the state levy will be more than
twenty-five cents. In the first place
the sliding scale has not been applied
to the five cent levy for state rural
schools and it is also believed that the
total assessment OF the state is not
going to quite come up to the expecta-
tions of the governor and the state
board of equalization. 1t may be there
| fore that even with the increased as
sessment a rate of $1.15 will be bare
| ly sufficient and it may go to $1.2O.

SOME HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLD
TO DEALERS IN COLUMBIA AT
THAT FIGURE.
FOR DELIVERY IN FUTURE
Not Expected That Any of the Crop of
1920 VIII Come to the City Before
Thirty Days Exceptional Yield in
the County.

1t is the best judgment of those who
are familiar with crop conditions that
the price OF corn at the opening of the
new crop will be around SIS barrel.
In fact some corn of the new crop
has already been purchased at S. a
barrel by Columbia dealers. This is
close to the December market at Chi
cago which is $1.05 or $5.25 barrel.
1t is reported that at Lynnville,
which is the center of large corn
producing section and where much
corn is produced, some of the dealers
have purchased the new crop at even
less than $5 barrel But it is con
sidered likely the market will contip,
ne to Justify a dollar a bushel.
The United States government re-
ports indicate a magnificent corn
WELD in the country, perhaps record
breaker. Tennessee's crop is much
larger, according to estimates than
last year. 1t is certain that Maury
county will make a, better yield than
it did in 1913 and some judges declare
that the crop in yield per acre, but not
in aggregate volume, will rival the re-
cord crop of 1917. Corn has been Ia
vored with good seasons and many
farmers are estimating their crop at
forty to fifty bushels to the acre. With
the increased cost of making the crop
there are no big profits in prospect at
dollar bushel.
It will probably be around thirty
DAYS before any of the new crop comes
to market, depending partly on the
weather during that period. Dry
weather and an early frost would brine
the crop into Columbia much earlier
| than a late. fall.

JUDGE WHITTHoRNE WILL INSIST
FoR'THE COUNTY THAT Ac-
= TiON HERE is FINAL.
L0UTHAN's PROOF IS DISPUTED
County Judge Holds That Mass of
Testimony Ttaken by the statisti.
clans and Expert Here Last Year Is
p
Not Legal Proof.

Judge Whitthorne will deny the
right of the state board fof equaliza,
tion to increase the assessments OF
Maury county by fiat Yen per cent.
He will also deny most s1nphatically
that the board has any Sort of legal
proof in its possession tp show that
the property of the county as asesS-
ed by Assessor williams and approx
ed by the county board disqualification,
is assessed at less than tie legal valu-
alton.
Judge Whitthorne is going to resist
the effort to add ten pe¢ to the
assessment>ef the real estate of the
county and iii this he will have the
cordial support of the assessor and the
members of the county board Of equal
ization. 1t. is understood that the
state board of equalization is relying
upon the proof that was taken by Lou
than, the senator-statistician, and the
other politicians and legislators, who
came here last year But it will be
denied by the county Judge thatsthese
ex parte statements, taken in the alb
sence of the taxpayer and generally
ignored by the board, constitute any
sort of legal proof.
1t will be remembered that last year
Louthan and others spent long time
here. They summoned many witness
es and attempted to assess all the
property by separate pieces. But SC
many mistakes were made, so many
ridiculous valuations arrived at that
| the effort was practically abandoped
and the state board instructed Coun
! tv Assessor Williams to make an as
sessment of all the property OF the
county regardless of the valuation that
had been made by the senators, repre-
sentatives, experts and statisticians
who swooped down on the folks.
Judge Whitthorne is busy preparing
his defense for the county and will be
ready to file same with the state boart
