Rural communities are discover
ing that the get-together spirit is
business asset as we'll as a requisite
of social life. The old adage to the
effect that business and pleasure can
not be combined is being disproved
in many neighborhoods where the
people are learning to cooperate for
both pleasure and profit.
In connection with it's nationwide
study of the community-house move
ment, which has taken form in hun
dreds of neighborhoods in recent
years, and which the world war did
much to promote, the Office of Farm
Management of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has found
several instances where the social
features of community undertakings
have been combined with business
projects to the mutual advantage OF
all
In fact, the profits which have beer
derived from the business features
have often made it possible to offel
more complete and attractive socia
! facilities. There is something In
these relatively new American under
takings suggestive of Old World af
fairs, which are at once the big bust
ness events and social occasions Of
the cities and towns in which they
are held.
| An example of a combination o.
business and pleasure in an Ameri
can community, OF more than loca
interest because the average countr.
neighborhood can undertake similar
projects to it's advantage, is the Stool
Show Association at Stuart, Iowa
which has erected a structure t,

ties. The building makes no pre-

GOV. ROBERTS INDICATED

Mr.. A. v. Eouthan, chief tax salts
tieian of the state board of equali-
zation Of Tennessee, has issued
statement placing the aggregate as
sessment Of prnnerty in the state
for 1920 at ST 1916 100000. This is an
increase Of SI,246.000,000 over the
1919 assessment Of $730,000,O00 and
is more nearly in line with the ap-
proximate value of the property,
Under the old method of assess
ment, Tennessee made an exceedingly
poor showing in the assessed valu-
alton Of property The figures gave
the impression that Tennessee was a
backward and unprogressive state.
AS conclusive proof that the pres
ent assessment Is equitable, Mr., Lou
than points to the fact that in 80
counties not a single complaint was
made to the state board, and that
less than 300 appeals were filed with
the state board from the entire state.
Only two appeals were filed from
Shelby county. one from Hamilton
and only few from Knox and David
son.
The assessments were made with
out the faint Of factional or partisan
politics An overwhelming majority
of Republican county officials are on
record as approving the law and it's
administration.
Gov. Roberts is to be commended
for having put this law into effect,
as he was pledged to do by the party
platform. The people whOh ave been
accustomed to paying on an assess
ment approximating one-third the
value of their property will not be
affected by the new assessment
Those who have paid on an assess
ment Of less than one-third of the
actual value of their property may
have slight increase, and those who
have paid on an assessment of more
I than one-third of the actual value Of
their property will pay less taxes
tNan heretofore.
The principal increase comes from
property which heretofore has paid
but little tax or escaped altogether
In some instances it developed there
was connivance between property
owners and county assessors, and in
almost every instance the local as
SCISSORS performed their work any way
that would arouse the least opposl,
ton. This meant that influential
property owners were getting an I'M
due advantage, while others were
compelled to bear the burden.
It is doubtful if any measure en-
acted into law in recent years has
been so unfairly interpreted and mis-.
represented by the opposition to Gov
Roberts. It is fortunate for the state
that he possessed the courage to
carry through his convictions and
render so great service to the peo-
lie of Tennessee Memphis Evening
Scimitar, October 4.
