McGINNEss BILL DEFEATED

The bill, which was prepared and
introduced by Sen. H. B. McGinness,
tc require all notes and other forms
of personal property to be listed for
taxation was killed in the Senate last
Tuesday by a vote of p to T. Mr.
AcGinness, who, it appears, is fighting
for this measure for the people alone,
made a move to reconsider the meas
ure with the hope that he can yet get
IL passed
For many years it has been realized
that a law to reach the assessment of
notes and other such property should
be passed but the people have been
overlooking this when electing mem
bers of the Legislature and as a re-
suit no such legislation has been en-
acted
A few days ago a public hearing on
this measure was had in Nashville and
after the representatives of the mon
eyed interests had spoken against the
measure fer two hours or more. Mr..
McGinness asked if there were some
one present to speak for the interest
of the taxpayers, and not a man re-
sponded, and then Mr. McGinness
spoke in behalf of the bill and the
interest of the taxpayers himself. At
this hearing many interested parties
admitted that they had been lodging
their personal property tax and in
sisted if the McGinness bill were pass
ed forcing them to do so that it would
rum them. But mind you, this same
punch that is putting up this fight
against the personal property tax bill
was heartily in favor of passing the
full-value assessment of farm lands
measure two years ago.
Last week the Carthage Courier
published an article by Judge J. M.
Gardenhire in favor of such a meas
ure as would bring out personal prop
erty for assessment. The article was
sent to the Nashville Banner for pub
LEGATION some weeks ago but was de-
cl1ned for lack of space. A few DAYS
ago, however, the Banner came out
with an editorial opposing the meas
ure. In this editorial the Banner viz
tually admitted that a great deal of
personal property was escaping taxa
ton and insisted that it should do so.
otherwise business would be ruined
1t is surprising and indeed a sad com
ment that paper of the. Nashville
Banners standing, and one that
fought so untiringly for the passage
or full value assessment on farm
lands, would desert the people on this
question and take the position that
personal property should not be reach
ed and leave the burden of taxation
on the farmers. The constitution
plainly says that real, personal and
mixed property should be assessed
alike, and the McGinness bill is only
intended to have this provision of the
constitution obeyed.
The arguments that the Personal
Property Interests and the Nashville
Banner make to the effect that such
a bill would ruin business is absurdand
ridiculous. Tt is hard to conceive that
any man or any journal that believes

Dreamships

''If every night at six o'clock,
As punctual as the postman's knock,
Our dreamships from the dreamland
seas
Sailed back upon a homeward breeze,
Bearing piled high in every hold
The treasures that our dream foretold,
Books and soldiers, dolls and guns
And chocolates and current buns
How happy would be every face,
This world would seem a different
placel
And yet, if laden stern to stern,
They never failed at p. m.
To wander back to me and you,
And each and every wish same true,
And ne'er a vessel came. to harm,
The thing in time would lose its charm.
And wonder, light and glad surprise
Would fade away from children's ewes.
And we might even sit and long
For something awful to go wrong
If every night at six o'clock
These dreamships all sailed back to
dock" Selected.
When John came in from the street
with bloody nose, his mother demand
ed of him, when that bad boy threw
rocks at you. why didn't you come and
tell me instead of throwing back at
him ?" ''Shucks, what good would
that've done? You couldn't hit a
barn door,"
If with pleasure you are viewing
any good work a man is doing, if you
ike him, or you love him, tell him
now. Don't withhold your approba-

brow; for no matter how you shout it,
Ne won't really care about it; he won't
know how many teardrops you have
shed. If you think some praise is due
him, now's the time to slip it to him,
for he cannot read his tombstone

in right and justice would contend
that holder of notes and other per-
snnal property should escape taxation
while the widow, with a house full of
1atheriess children, should be forced
to pay full value on the small acreage
of land she might possess.
But, it is said that money is awfully
powerful, and unless the farmers of
Tennessee get busy and elect members
to the Legislature who are strong
enough to withstand this power, they
will have to continue to bear the tax
burdens, while the rich security hold
ers are permitted to escape.

New Invention Makes Fords Run 81
Miles on Gallon of Gasoline and

Other Cars Show PrCpOrtiOnate
Savings.

4 new carburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor,
including the Ford, and reduces gas
oline bills from one-third to one-ha!f,
is the proud achievement Of the Air
Friction Carburetor Co., 99o Madison
ST., DAYTON, Ohio. This remarkable
invention not only increases the pow
er of all motors from 50 to so per
cent, but enables every one to run
slow on high gear. 1t also makes it
easy to start Ford or any other car
in the coolest weather without pre-
viously warming the motor. With it
you can use the very cheapest grade
of gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power and
more mileage than you now get from
the highest test gasoline. MANY Ford
owrers say they now get as high as
45 to 80 miles to a gallon Of gasoline.
So sure are the manufacturers of the
immense saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send it
on 80 days trial to every car owner
As It can be put en- or taken off in a
