HUGE PROFITS ARE
MADE, IN COFFEE

Washington, February ]0.-A
profit of one hundred and fifty
per cent on coffee is being divided
between wholesalers end retailers
in this country, according to re-
ports on imports and prices by the
department of ofcommerce and labor.
According to department of COM
msrce figures the United States
during 1919 imported l ,235, ,532, ,102
pounds of coffee, for which was
paid S239 400,700 an average of
19 $40 cents pound. Figures
gathered by the bureau of labor
statistics show that during the
same period this coffee was I'M
ported, retailers charged an aver
age of AZ 4-5 cents a pound to con-
sumers.
Very little coffee is produced
within the country and practically
all sold is imported.
Compared with the price of cof-
fee sold at retail in 1918 consum-
ers today are paying exactly seven
teen cents more a pound.
Against this wide variance of
buying aud selling prices, coffee
wholesalers charge there must be
included increased shipping rates.
While the average price per pound
charged consumers was AZ $40
cents, several cities paid more
than half dollar a pound.
According to the bureau of
labor statististics, retail prices in
1919 charged in the following lead
ing cities were.
Boston, 527; Cleveland, 40.6,
Pittsburg, so, Detroit, 49; Chicago,
44,8; Denver, 49.8; Los Angeles,

No Que is going to attempt to
defend this ruinous and disgrace
ful old system any more than they
will such denominations AS history
relates existed in France prior to
the great revelation in that coun-
try in the latter years of the eigh-
teenth century. or the system in
lands of ancient times where tax.
gathers were sharks who purchas,
ed the privilege of collection from
the Government. This old Tonnes
see system was utterl y indefensi-
BILE; the reform had to come, and
it has been accomplished.
When the present assessment
plan was begun there was an at
tempt to prejudice the agricultural
population Of the State against
it with the entirely baseless ale
CATION that it was intended to
place the burden Of taxation on
farm lands. No farmer is going
to have his taxes increased under
th4 present assessment law who
paid on, as much as one-third the
valuation OF his land under the
old law. The rate of taxation, it
has been estimated, will be reduced
from 70 cents to 30 cents on the
hundred dollars and the amount of
taxes paid will be less for all farm
.ers who formerly paid taxes on
even an approximate valuation Of
their land. The farmers who were
at first prejudiced by false stories
are beginning to see the matter in
the true light. The business men
in city~aud country see clearly the
great advantage of the new system
and the value of the new improve
.ment it has wrought. But the
poitician-the ''scurvy politician"
of whom Shakespeare wrote-we
have always with us and sporadic
cases are developed here and there
that come of his infection. These
are evidenced by charges that
Governor Roberts has done great
wrong in reforming the deplorable
condition of tax assessments. They
can't any way approximate the
truth and show that what they say
is SO; none of them will be so bold
as to attempt any defense of the
old system, and none can suggest
a better remedy than the one ap-
piled.
1t may be taken as assured that
the old proverb that says reforms
never go backward will hold good
in this case, There will be no re-
turn to the loose and evil practice
of tax assessments that have, plagu-

WITHOUT
DEFENSE

The system Of tax assessment
prevailing in Tennessee for some
years has been travesty on sound
business methods, rank in its in
justice and inequality aud dis
grace to the wealth that
In this second decade of twentieth
century permitted it so long to
exist.
Some OF Governor Roberts DO
lltlcal enemies and some of the
accustomed tax x-dodgers who have
been for the first time properly
assessed are endeavoring through
misrepresentation and twisted
statements to make it appear that
the correction Of this evil wrought
by the new assessment law has
done inquiry to someone or some
class, but none has the temeritv
to defend the old hodge podge
arrangement that brought the
finance of the State into danger
GUS tangle and did gross injustice
to many taxpayers.
That old system was utterly rot
ten. That may be degree incl
eg 3nt, bat it is a good old Saxon
word with meaning that fits the
case better than the milder Latin
derivations of like import. In no
two counties and in hardly any
two civil districts of the same
county, was there any uniformity
of assessment aud gross irregular
ity everywhere prevailed. Some of
the revelations Of this fact made
by the recent investigation were
positively grotesque and shameful
in the fraud that was practiced.
No one can deny these facts; they
rest on adequate proof and have
become matter of common knowl-
edge.
The constitutional requirement
that property shall be assessed at
the full value was utter ydisregard-
ed and assessments in few instan-
ces approached the market price
of property assessed.
1t was not real estate alone that
was under-assessed. Big corpora
tions were among the delinquents
and the largest losses to the State
were from that source.
AT the end of every biennial
period it was found that the deficit
in the State treasury increased and
the interest bearing bonded debt
a burden Inherited from the inefi-
cient past and that should long
ago have been extiuguished, every
year grew larger because of the
money that had to be borrowed to
take the place of current revenue
lost by the evil system of ASSESS
ments.
Besides this, the State was false
ly advertised to the world Jas i'm
poverished. It's taxable values
were put down as among the small
st in the Union while its tax rate
was high. Incalcu liable Injury
must have been done the State by
