FOR COUNTY AGENTS
COUNTY COURT OF SUMNER
ADDS TO ITS APPROPRIATION
FOR SALARIES.

tFrom Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
Prof. James NJ Dean, district agent,
returned this morning from Gallatin,
where on Monday he appeared before
the county court of Sumner county
in behalf of the appropriations for
county agent and home demonstration
agent. The court voted an increase
of $500 in the salary of the county
agent and $500 in the salary of the
home demonstration agent. Wilson
county also voted an increase in the
allowance of the county and home
demonstration agents. More and more
the county courts are coming to an
appreciation of the Importance of the
work to be done by the division of ex-
tension.

convenience of the home were shown
by dealers handling them. There
were exhibitions and demonstrations
of fireless cookers, home-lighting and
water plants which are fast finding
place in hundreds of farm homes in
Tennessee.
Home demonstration workers of the
Division of Extension, University of
Tennessee, state that these home i'm
provement meetings will be planned
and held in many other counties in
Tennessee during the year. Some
were held last fall and were mark
ed success. Home demonstration
agents of the Division of Extension
believe that meetings and demonstra-
tions of this Kind will be more effec-
tive than any other method in convinc-
ing the housewife of the advantages
of the many modern conveniences
The Chamber of Commerce of
Maryville and other civic organiza-
tions as well as the county council
of agriculture co-operated with the
merchants and Miss Deaderick in this
movement.

DORTCH LAW is
EXTENDED EVERY
VOTING PRECINCT
POLL TAXES HEREAFTER MUST
BE PAID BY MEN AND WOMEN
60 DAYS BEFORE ELECTION.
REPUBLICANS MAKE PROTESTS
But the Democratic majority in the
House Is Eent on Making the State
Safe for Democracy--secretary Of
State to Have Lists.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 5.-Ap-
parently bent on making Tennessee
safe for democracy the house late
Monday passed three election bills
that work radical changes nthe cleo
ton laws of the state.
First and most important is the ex-
tension of the Dortch or secret ballot
to every county in the state This
law has long been in effect in the larg-
er counties like Davidson, Knox and
Maufy, but in the rural districts the
old open ballot has been generally
used The republicans protested in
vain.
Next in Importance is the poll tax
law which requires all voters, men
and women, to pay a poll tax for the
previous year not less than sixty days
before the election. This, it is ex-
pected will very materially cut down
the vote especially in the mountain
sections OF the state.
Another measure also passed is that
which requires that thirty days before
each election the trustees of the Sew
0al counties shall furnish to the sec
rotary of state a certified list of the
poll taxes in their respective coun-
ties. These were measures agreed
upon at a caucus of the democrats and
made party measures. Ii is expected
that even i'm some democratic sections
there will be howl of protest against
the extension of the DOrtch law.

awakened to the fact that they will be
required to pay the 1921 wheel tax, de-
spite the new road law for the coun-
ty. AS evidence of this awakening,
County Court Clerk Arch w. Lips.
comb this morning reported the sale
of nearly 1000 county numbers to We
Gle owners in every section of the
county on yesterday.
Owners of wagons, buggies and au-
tomobiles swarmed in the office of the
county court clerk like bees all day
yesterday, coming so fast that it was
impossible to do more than to list
them and accept the coin of the realm,
with the promise that tags, and re.
ceipts will be mailed at once.
Monday was one of the biggest days
Tor the collection of wheel taxes i'm the
history Of the county, and this fol
lowed the announcement in The Her
aid few days ago that County Court
Clerk Lipscomb was standing square
ly behind his threat to issue distress
warrants against all who failed to pay
the vehicle tax as provided by law. I'D
until that time it seemed that vehi.
Gle owners were of the opinion that
they could escape the payment of the
tax by remaining away from town. but
with list of those who own vehicles
of every description in his posses
sion and with the determination to
make every tub stand upon its own
bottom Mr.. Lipscomb has al last sue
ceeded in arousing these vehicle own
ers to an understanding that the
county means business" and that the
tax will be collected, despite any and
all reports to the contrary.
Up until this time the state license
has been paid on 1875 automobiles
and trucks. 1t is believed that this
number win be increased to well aboYe |
the 1000 mark before the end of the
