Figures compiled yesterday of the
months local bank clearings were full
OF interest and in a measure quite sig
nifiCant Of the times.
While there was a material shrinkage
in the volume Of checks through the
Clearing House Association, yet when
studied !noro closely, and when COM
PARSONS were made with the pre- war
period there were encouraging signs Of
a gradual return Of business TO Il nor

that these shrinkages at first glance are
disturbing. The months total turn over
of checks was 81 G07 900 900. Whom
compared with the peak figures of 81,

PROMINENT TIPTONVILLE
YOUTH IS DROWNED
Frank Griffin Will Be Buried With
Military Honors.

| Tiptonville, Tenn, May "a
Frank Griffin, %, member of one Of
Lake County's most prominent fami-
lies, was drowned about 6 o'clock this
evening while swimming in the
"wash-out," a bathing pool near
here. His body was recovered by Dr.
M. r. Donaldson, who made five dives
before he was successful.
Young Griffin left Tiptonville
about o'clock in company with DR..
Donaldson, Rof Griffin, his brother,
Walter Griffin, his cousin, and Will
bur Walker. The party had been
in swimming a short time when Crit
fms brother and cousin noticed that
he was in danger. They went to his
rescue, but Griffin pulled both under
water twice and they narrowly es
capped drowning.
DR.. Donaldson had swum to the
other end of the pool, about a quar-
ter of mile distant, and one of the
boys ran up the bank to summon
him. DR.. Donaldson is regarded as
an expert swimmer, but could not
reach the scene in time to save Grit
fin. 1t was then that he saved the
body.
Griffin was a good swimmer, and
it is thought that he must have been
attacked by cramps, or he would have
been able to save himself. The wa
ter was little more than a foot over
his head at the spot where he was
drowned.
He served IL months in the United
States Navy. After his discharge,
about year ago, he attended school
and returned to Tiptonville about
five months ago.
He was the son of DR.. and Mrs r.
w. Griffin and was one of the most
popular members of Tiptonville's So
ciety set, having a wide circle of
friends throughout the county.
The Bob Downing Post of the
American Legion is in charage of flu
neral arrangements, and Griffin will
be buried with military honors.

Trades Day at Dyersburg.

Dyersburg's first Trades Day was
one immense success. The members
of the Lions Club and the commit
tees in charge of the days program
were "all smiles" in spite of the fact
that they were all tired from heat
and the strenuous duties of the day.
The crowds began to arrive at six
O'Clock in the morning and by six
thirty-o' clock they were crowding in
to the stores that had advertised
bargains. Chairman Chevailler, of
the executive committee, was on the
job early to keep the program NOV
ing, and he remained on the job till
Dyersburg cinched the ball game.
But, with all this responsibility, ne
came up smiling as he took his part

PROPOSED SALES TAX
BEFORE IN CONGRESS
By H. H. Windsor, in the June Pop.
ular Mechanics Magazine.

The Financial World" says: 'It
is not overtaxation that is burden
ing the world and stopping it's re-
Mobilization as much as it is burden
some, unwise and inequitable taxa
ton" If business is to recover, it is
absolutely necessary to repeal the
present absurd, exasperating, unjust,
and expensive system without delay.
A member of the Finance Commit
tee of the House said to me: "In my
judgment the present system adds
fully 20 per cent to the selling cost
of merchandise, taken as a whole"
AT present it costs the government
millions a year to collect the tax
and it doesn't get near all of it at
that. 1t costs the taxpayers many
more millions fos me, attorneys and
experts to make out the annual re-
PORTS
1t is needless to go into details of
the eXasperations of the present sys-
tenn: Every taxpayer, large and
small alike, is agreed as to this The
question then resolves itself unto,
What is better method?"
Several bills have already been in
troduced in the present Congress to
substitute "sales tax" This has
aroused the most vitriolic and fran
tic objection on the part of few
congressman. They have not, so far
offered sound reasons for their dis
approval, although supported in
their attitude by some college pro-
fessors, and to some extent by the
Secretary of the Treasury Perhaps
the best explanation of sales tax is
that written by an eminent finan-
cier, Jules S. Bache, who suggests
the following general plan:
A tax of 1 per cent to be paid
monthly on the actual receipts of all
engaged in business, with an eXemp
ton of all small businesses collecting
$4,000 or less, per year. Any gram
mar-school boy can make up the
monthly report for the largest con-
Germ; he takes the total amount col
lccted and if it exceeds $500 he
points off two figures. On monthly
collection of $4,000 this would be
800. If somo months exceed $500 |
and others fall below, a refund is
made at the end of the year if the |
total IL months reports do not eX-
ced $4,000. The monthly payment |
would prevent the heavy quarterly
borrowing at banks, now necessary
to many and the government, by
reason of this steady, regular flow of
money, need not issue the short
time certificates" as at present, on
which interest has to be paid The
per cent is estimated by careful fl
nanciers to produce between $4,000,
00O,O 900 and 100000 900, probab-
ly about $5,00O,OOO,O0 this, with
the tabacco tax of $500,00O,000 and T
the equal amount now collected from
incomes, should produce the
enormous revenue of $6,000,000, 900
With any sort of economy
this would be more than required
in peace times.
The average increase in the selling /,
cost of merchandising does not figure
over "A per cent, from raw material {
to consumer, against the 20 per cent
