Assessor 5, P. Crawford has beea pres

advantage Of any information be has Sc
cured in his visits to property owners
over the -ou4lv as to valuations.
II was noted In the Daily press this
week that Mr.. Loulhsn, the State Tax
Commissioners, was writing all coonty
boards that they should keep former
assessments up or the state board woult
boost these valuations when the figures
come before them. Mr.. Louthan used
these big stick methods last year to
force County Assessors and Equaiizs-
ton boards to place high valuations on
ell property In the state and Assessors
were made figure heads. their work
amounting to almost nothing. because
every move By them was directed from
Nashville, This mCre than a0y otser

cratic ticket IN the last election. and IL
Louthan and his gang keep % such
tactics this year We might Just ss we'll
make up our minds that the state will
remain under Republican rue. People
will not submit TO such dictAtioa from
Nashville officials. The state board has
the right to change any figures made
by the County Assessor and approved
TO the County Equalizers, and why
cant the state board wait till figures
come before them and make such
changes as are warranted? The fact
10 they want TO NIX all blame on local
officials and force them or bluff them
into fixing figures as high as the state
board desires them to be. We can be
thankful our County Assessor has fol-
lowedhis oath Of Office and fixed the
valuations where bis judgement direct

The Assessor in this county has been
conservative and ssensibie in fixing

when the seed are applied, It lie not

the crop properly. 1t puts the plant

1T takes the seed a long time to
decay and become plant food. In fact,
no great amount OF the plant food in
cotton seed is ever actually used by
the crop. As evidence Of this, we cite
Farmers Bulletin 2s6 Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, page
8, from which we quote: The seeds
are incased in hulls which must de-
cay before the crop can utilize the
plant food in them, and the kernels
contain oil which 70 supposed to retard
their decomposition, SO that consider
able moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant

available until after the crop natures

Melting Pot" Fails

New York, Feb. 25.-The melt
ing pot" fails to melt, according to
Or. Jacob Gould Schurman, for
sity. Speaking at Columbia uni
versity under the auspices of the
Society of Arts and Sciences, he
warned the American people that
they must protect themselves from
the perils of denationalization by
hordes of foreigners difficult to
assimilate. He proposed a limit on
immigrants to the number and
kinds who could be absorbed into
American social and economic life.
Discussing the peril of denation-
ali1 alton, DR.. Schurman added:
1.-THE conclusion is obvious. Eli
ther we can never become a homo
geneous American people either
unassimilated masses Of European
nationalities must share our do
main with us, or we must set linn
its to the tide of immigration so
that a unified national life and
Consciousness may remain possible
for u.s."
Dr. Schurman said that he ia
vored the Welty bill. permitting
immigration of maximum of 10
percent of the representatives of
any race now domiciled here who
had become naturalized and their
native born children. He thought
it necessary to modify the bill, par
ticularly with respect to unskilled
labor.
He gave these figures on the
present foreign population:
I'VE now have in the United
States of all the Jews in the world
"a percent; of all the Scandina-
vians, II percent; of all the Ger
mans, 13 percent; of all the Slow

are doing 1t with ease. They ar
doing 1t with the full knowledge
of the government. And the gov
ernment's enforcement branch is
utterly impotent in the face of it.
Commissioner Kramer and his
chief assistants readily admit SNUG
CLING is now the chief obstacle to
prohibition success. The domestic
supply can be entirely cut off, they
say, but If smuggling at the pres
ent rate continues there will be
whisky in abundance for years to
come.
Stop it? How are you going to
do it? Kramer is quick to ask. "One
dry agent to every hundred thou
sand people. and most of these
concentrated in the big cities" he
says.
The borders and coasts are vir-
tually unprotected against whisky
runners. 1t will be so for some
, time, unless congress votes enough
money to hire a force as large as
the United States army. And con-
gress won't do that for some time
to come.
