the richest body of land from an agri-
cultural stand point in all the world.
Certainly 1t has the highest rental

Z ssThet great development of this in

past three or four years is distinctly
encouraging and The Herald is espec-

eonservatively estimated by those in

the county as was sold four years ago.
That means that not only has there
been tremendous increase in the
farm income but that the lands of the

thing to make II q really great and

strong, active organization for testing
the cows in the dairy herds. II has

THE PRIMARY LAW.

| Although sentiment among the dem
ocrats OF the state Is overwhelming
ly in favor Of the repeal of the com.
pulsory primary act of 1917 1t is said
that action to this end by the legisla.
ture is extremely doubtful as certain
candidates for the senate and for gov
ernor next year believe that their
friends can manipulate the primary
machinery better than they could a
convention. 1t will be grave mistake
If the legislature adjourns with this
law on the statute books. 1t has added
largely to the expenses of the coun-
ties and has practically destroyed 10.
cal self-goyernment in the democratic
party in the state. 1t has wiped out
county lines just as the advocates of
the federal primary would ohliterate
state lines E
The primary is largely fraud and
q delusion. 1t has done more to dis
:upt the democratic party. than any
thing else. Primary contests, SO divid-
ed the party that It was finally de-
feated in 1910 in Tennessee and it was
not restored to power until four years
later when the old fashioned conven-
ton made the nominations. II 1t again
assumes the reigns of government in
Tennessee a convention will probably
be necessary. The compulsory prima.
ry bars the poor man from Office un.
less he is willing to have an angel"
which is certainly not good thing
for the public service. 1t costs more
now to secure a nomination for the
Legislature and then pay the expenses
of the general election than the Office
is worth. 1t makes 10 almost impossi-.
BILE to draft" the men for legislative
service who really ought to be num-
bered among the law makers. Of the
state, for they simply viii not enter a
primary contest. ~
About the only argument advanced
in favor of the retention of the prima,
ry is that the women voters of Chat
tanooga declare that IL the convention
is restored they will be DISTINGUISHED.
This is far fetched argument. A wo-
man can just as effectively make her
voice heard in the convention as she
can in the primary. 1t is only in the
larger counties that the women vote
in any considerable numbers and del.
egated conventions were always held
in those counties. Women can vote in
the selection and instruction of the
delegates and ii they desire, can be
made delegates to the convention. II
they are disfranchised it will be be,
cause they so elect.f

TAYLoR,s MESSAGE.

That Gov. Taylor has been bus,
studying the problems OF government
and acquainting himself with the de
tails OF administration is evidenced by
his splendid message urging economy
and efficiency of administration
through the consolidation of the va
rious agencies and bureaus of the gov
eminent. The legislature could dc
nothing better for the state than to
follow the suggestions made by the
governor. Tennessee's state govern
ment is sort of crazy quilt affair
that has been thrown together as the
exigencies of the situation might seem
tosreanire. There has been no serious
effort to departmentize it and save In
overhead expenses All horticultural
and forestry and other similar bureaus
should be made adjuncts of and under
the general control of the state depart
nlent OF agriculture. Likewise the
question of food and drugs in its last
analysis a mere matter of the preser-
walton of the health of our citizens,
that bureau should quite properly and
logically be under the supervision of
the department of health.
4 Likewise the governor makes good
suggestion with respect to the high;
way department. 1t is altogether
proper that Tennessee should have a
department of public highways, but
there seems to be no good reason why
1t should have three heads. while the
agricultural department and the
department of public education, equal.
ly as important to the welfare and pro.
gress Of the state, have single heads.
A commissioner of public highways
should head that department. By the
abolition OF many commissions and
the consolidation of others unQuestion-
ably the state could be saved round
sum of money.
There will be little dissent from the
governors arrangement of the iniGui-
tous back tax system. 1t should have
gone long, ago, but he is almost certain
to strike q snag when it comes to
