The Commercial, Union City, Tenn.
FRIDAY, APRIL s, 1921.

The Nashville Tennessean, in its
fight against the back-tax machine,
scores the Chandler bill, which pass
ed the Senate this week. According
to the Tennessean, this bill is infa-
nous. l don't know much about the
back-tax operations in the State, but
it looks like bill which allows a
ten percent penalty to be paid to the
revenue agent seven months after
the property is advertised in May and
an additional 15 cents from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of delinquent prop
erty, the work of collecting, ETC., to
to go through the hands of the Trus-
tee, is made entirely in the interest
of the revenue agent. But what else
can be expected of men who go to
the Legislature instructed to promote
schemes which are professedly selfish
and sectional and an imposition upon
the taxpayers of the State. These
men have no regard for the equities
of the majority. They are incapable
of an honest impulse, and being so
constituted, they unblushingly swipe
everything in sight. Thank good
ness, our Senator LeDuke is not that
kind of man.

TO PAY RAILROADS.

1t has been given out by the govern
ment that it will soon begin to pay tc
the railroads the amounts due them a:
the outcome of the injuries sustained
by the properties during the war
Most of the injury is traceable to the
fact that the government allowed the
roads to run down badly.
For a while the plea was put up that
the government spent as much money
on the roads as the roads had former
ly been in the habit of spending and
for that reason the government should
not be asked to do more. The idea
was very quickly punctured when it
was shown that in the government
promise to return the roads in sub
stantitlly as god shape as they were
received, nothing was said or suggest
ed about cost of upkeep or volume of
outlay in an effort to keep the RAIDS
up to pre-war standards.
Now it is said that the government
is soon to begin paying the roads tine
huge sum of eight hundred millions of
dollars. The roads claim they must
have many improvements, especially
in the way of cars and engines, to be
anywhere near pre-war standards, be-
cause so many cars were destroyed
and engines damaged or scrapped.
