FINDS new TAX LAW
BETTER UNDERSTOOD

AL Robinson. representative Of the
Tennessee Equalization board, was in
Memphis Thursday after having visited
several West Tennessee counties for
conference with county officials and
others as to the state APPRAISAL recently
made.
Mr. Robinson says he finds that as
the people understand more thoroughly
the theory of the law, and that with
larger assessments the state tax must
automatically be reduced, they approve
II, and that he believes by the time the
county courts meetin July to fix the
rate of the county tax over the state
that there will be little opposition left.
For example," said Mr.. Robertson,
'in Upton county, wheer the appraisal
is several times the former assessment,
] talked with perhaps 100 men Wednes-
day and found but two or three who are
now opposed to the law. They have
investigated and found that where val
ues are raised on farm lands that the
appraisal is justified by the cash value
and that probably, in fact, their county
tax rate can at least be cut in half
this year"
Mr. Robinson will leave for Nashville
Thursday night.

HOFFMAN ONLY PRIVATE
PUPIL OF RUBENSTEIN

One very unusual distinction about
Josef Hoffman, who will give a piano
recital at the Goodwin institute Fri
day evening, March 5, under the
auspices of the Beethoven club, is that
he was the only private pupil Of Anton
Rubenstein, who was one of the most
famous of all the historic masters Of
the instrument.
When Rubensten first heard Hoff-
man play. the boy was only six or
seven years of age and he declared
him the only child genius that had
ever interested him. Hoffman, how
ever, was Is years old when he went
to the master, and he enjoyed that
priceless privilege for two years. Soon
afterward the famous pianist composer
died.
Since then" says Hoffman, 81
studitd only by myself; for to whom
could I have gone after Rubensten
He chose the method of indirect in
struction through suggestion and COM
narison, He never played for me; he
only talked, and | understanding him
translated his meaning into music and
musical utterances He never per.
mitted me to bring to aim as lesson,
any composition more than once. One
time | remember ] asked about the
lingering Of a rather complex passage
and he replied Play it with your nose
but make it sound Well"

talking that way this evening have

talking that way this evening nave This exhibition of histrionic ability on the part of the Idaho senator brought out the remark from the back of the hall addressed to the Idaho senator: "Po1i will be looking for you" Here an ardent Harding supporter intervened with the re- mark: This is America, not Ireland"
 Borah saw the storm coming and
 tactfully stepped into the. breach with the remark: Here is how I feel. I do not want the American republic to become any part of combination of autocratic and mill
 tary powers which will hold any peo- dependence" This glittering gener- ality acceptable alike to friends and | foes of the League was applauded by | both sides.
 | Borah the man made g. distinctly | favorable impression on the audience
 by his breezy Western manner and his | vigorous personality. His acting was superb and his booming voice rolled | from rafter to rafter in sonorouS ca- | dences. His address contained noth- ing new, but his presentation of the shopworn stock in trade of the bitter | enders against the League of Nations | took on almost the semblance of nov
 city from his vehement presentation
 and plausible phrasing, His handling
 of Article of the League of Nations
 was a masterly piece of special plead-
 ing. Taking two isolated sentences
 from the article, which contains the
 league provisions for disarmament, he put forth the argument which
 would have convinced many who had not read the Covenant that the article
 means exactly the opposite of what it actually does. Another choice bit was : his denunciatien of the League Cove nant for not containing provision | against secret treaties. an argument which had a very convincing appea - to those who had not read Article 1s of the Covenant which contains tha very provision.

 UNFAIR PARTISANSEIIP

violation of the federal trade commis- sion ruling? the complaint in each Curtis Publishing company made contracts with wholesale distributors which prevented them from handling other publications without permission from the Curtis Publishing company and which prohibited the sale of all competing publications. The plan of the Curtis Publishing company was with the intent and had the effect of. -tis notifications and unfairly decreas- ing circulation of competing pubhca- tions to the end tEat the Curtis Pub fishing company would derive large advertising rates by reason of tre- nlendouS circulation. These unfair practices prevented competing pub fishers from chtairing distribution of their publication through the ordi- nary distributing channels and forced them to distribute through channels 1 which did not have any facilities for | a wide distribution. Proof for these unlawful practices was found by the l federal trade commission; after eXten- sive hearings On July 21, 1919, and | the Curtis Publishing company was | forced to cease and des1st.

Are ToCollect
 Soldiers Bones

Rome, Oct. 29.-A great national subscription is now being made to collect together all the bodies of Italian soldiers who died fighting on the mountain front and are insufH ciently buried, all the bones which are whitening on the rocky mountain sides andi to give them fitting sepulchre on one of the highest peaks, probably San Michele. It is proposed that a. simple, noble monu- ment should be erected under which will rest together officers and sol diers, rich and poor.
 One of the sad phases of 1ta1y's war on the mountain front was the difficulty of burying those who fell fighting. The soil on the Carso range is such a thin crust over the massive rock of which the mountains are formed that dynamite had often to be used in order to make a suff ciently deep grave especially on those historic peaks like Monte Santo, Monte Nero, the Grappa and the Her mada, where Italian blood flowed like water. The Austrians originally held all the passes there and dominated the Italians at every point but they were taken and re-taken over and over again until the final victory gave them to Italy forever.

Dayton, O., Oct. 29.-Another statement charging the Saturday Evening Post and it's editor, George Horace Lorimer with unfair partisan ship was issued today by Governor Cox.
 'The insidious purpose of the Sat urday Evening Post, cloaked under non-rartisan methods for the past decade and more, has finally been brought to Iight,'' Governor Cox de- clared, stating that it had made mis- statements only four days before election when it was impossible to correct them-
 That the Curtis Publishing company had been found guilty by |tle Federal Trade Commission of violating the anti trust laws by unfair practices in distrib uting it's periodi- cal was asserted by Governor Cox. The governors statement follows: When early in the week I called attention to the guerilla tactics of the Saturday Evening Post on the basis cf it's last mil ute attack on me, the response of MT. Lorimer, it's editor, was that my action was unethicaE I am perfectly willing to leave the de- America, many of whom have been lifetime re aders of the Saturday Evening Pest and who from the time of it's origin have looked upon it as a household journal to which they rem dered devotion because it took no part in partisan campaigns. The question of ethics would seem to lie | in what America has learned to look | upon as a square deal: and when a
 non-p partisan journal becomes par
 tisan in it's very last issue four days
 before election at a I~ne when it is | impossible for misstatements to be | corrected or deceit to be met-it would seem to indicate a very deer
 seated selfish interest based upon
 some purpose which could scarcely be called straightforward and honest
 No man who represents a just cause has any objection to presenting both | sides of the case.
