1t is stated that there are thousands
of men in the country who prefer to
remain idle rather than accept jobs
at reduced wages. They will doubt
less change their minds when they
feel the pinch of hunger, One cannot
have his cake and eat it at the same
time. The laboring men, enjoying
such wages as were never dreamed
possible, howled all the time about the
high cost of living. Now with re-
duction in the cost of living comes
business depression and they must
share the losses with other classes of
the population. The Herald's predic.
ton that it would not be long before
the knockers on the cost of living"
would be the first to voice dissatisfac-
ton with new conditions is already
fulfilled.

ASSESSM ENTS.
Says the Pulaski Citizen:

Says the PULASKI CltlZen:
y. l. Finney, the gifted editor of
The Columbia Herald, is usually one
of the most level headed editors in
the state. But he seems to be bit
cranky on the assessment of proper
ty. What difference does it make
whether property is assessed high or
low, just so the assessments are
equal and uniform? II Maury county
lands are not equitably assessed, the
fault is with some individual, not the
law. There has been more or less
kicking here on the part of some own
ers of big farms, but we have never
yet met one of them who would sell
the farm at its assessed valuation at
the time the assessment was made.
Or course experience will show needed
amendments. The companion bill In
tended to reach personal property was
defeated. 1t may have had defects.
But the principle of assessing real es-
tate and corporations at cash value is
right, and the same principle ought to
be applied to personal property
There is assuredly no objection to
uniform and equalized assessments.
But The Herald has objected to the
assessments made in the state under
the new law because they have shift
ed an increased burden to the farmers
at time when the producer is hard
hit. In this county, for example, land
owners under the new assessment will
pay 70 per cent of the taxes while un-
der the old assessment they paid only
60 per cent Theoretically the farm
ers may have been escaping their
just proportion of the tax burden, but
when all of their products are selling
at less than cost of production and
they. are badly discouraged, it is un-
sound politically and economically to
assess their property at inflated val
ues resulting from land speculation
and require them to pay on that as
sessment for two years. 1t is not only
necessary from an economic stand
point, but even more so from a politi,
cal viewpoint, to encourage men to
stay on the farms and any legislation
that tends to have the opposite effect
is unsound and fraught with evil con-
sequences.
