are in the County Court will be ready
to make another apportionment for
this road and then the State will du-
plieate this fund and the work will
proceed probably without Interrupt
ton.
Before going to press with this ar
ticle we have had another talk
with Judge Bratton, who has jusc
returned from Nashville, and he
tells us that the highway department
has allowed $4,000 more in cash to
be used on the lake road this fall,
and agreed to make another allow
ance of $4,000 for spring work. Mr..
House and the department are very
much pleased with the report of the
work done on this road The report
shows that Mr. Buchanan has made
the remarkable record of getting al
most full value out of every dollar
expended on this road. At least nine
ty cents worth of work has been done
for every dollar used anc : full dol
lar value for materials used.
Notwithstanding OOion county
has waited years to begin highway
construction work, there is some adj
vantage after all in getting par value
for the investment and the latest
methods of road building.
Judge Bratton tells us that one of
the finest roads we have now in the
county is the levee road across the
lower end of the lake and that Obion
County farmers are hauling loads of
produce and supplies into Lake
County. This is the road that will
connect Obion and Lake counties as
a part of the Memphis
highway. Everybody seems to be
impressed with the work of the Obion
County Highway Commission. We
trust that Congress will hurry up
with the Federal appropriation, so
that contract may be made for work
on the road from Union City to Troy
and west towards Hornbeak.

The Commercial does not propose
to comment on conditions, excepting
as to refer to the fact that this is
really no longer g wheat country,
Corn is our principal product and
that crop is not yielding this year as
much per acre as the earlier indica-
lions seemed to show. Our farmers
are considerably depressed on ac-
count of the price~Of corn. That
product is really low compared to the
prices of ether products. Corn has
been selling here for thirty-five and
forty cents a bushef Tne farmers
here complain that there is too much
difference between the price of corn
and the prices Of machinery and sup
plies necessary for the farm and
household. They claim that no mon
ey is being made by the farmers of
them are losing money this year. We
are constrained to believe that they
are not making any false impression.
We have talked to numbers of them
and all with practically the same re-
port
We notice under the head of
thoughts in Mr.. Watts bulletin the
suggestion: mo more effective way
to bring the milling industry into
bad repute with its bankers than
thru the practice of guaranteeing
against price decline"
1t has always seemed to us that the
milling industry has been too closely
allied with the speculative interests.
Too many of our mills and grain
dealers are keeping company with
the bucket shops.
Ordinarily every commission house
conducted by a broker is known on
the street as a bucket shop. The lit
tie old bucket shop itself is a matter
of no Importance. But in our way
of thinking, if .he broker and miller
could separate company entirely the
miller himself would be a thousand
times better off and the public would
be benefited in proportion.
We can not get rid of the impress
sion that the practice is criminal in
its nature If not against the law.

The Lake Road.

Quite a number of the citizens, es-
pecially in Number Three and the
country west of Union City, have ex-
pressed themselves as being very
much pleased with the prospects of
the new road from Union City to
Reelfoot Lake now in process of con-
struction. This road, according to
actual measurement, reduces the dis
lance to the lake several miles. 1t
is the route leaving the city limits
by the Herman Dietzel. Jr., farm,
running by way of the Bratton, Cald-
well, Parks and Latimer farms and
by the old Judge Caldwell place in
Number Ten, thence on the Hickman
road short distance and leaving this
road towards Fremont and then to
the right of Fremont towards Clay
ton, thence to the Reelfoot River
bottom by way of the Parks farm,
and on thru the bottom to the hills
again and striking the lake one mile

nineteen miles. There was trouble
for some time about the State allow
ance on this road. This was finally
worked out thru Mr. House and the
Treasurer was instructed to pay the
Obion County Highway Commission
$4,000. Some four thousand dollars in
private subscriptions have also been
utilized, including subscription of
$500 from e. w. Parks, of Obion.
Just at the present time the county
road funds have been exhausted, and
Mr.. Supervisor Buchanan will not be
able to complete the Reelfoot levee
until spring. He has, however,
made fine progress with the work,
including concrete culverts and levee
construction. AS soon as the taxes

Tenn, Dear Supt. Vaughn. We are
at work on our Annual Statistical
Report and can not go further until
all the reports due from the various
counties of the State are received at
this office.
We find that the following forms
have not been filed from your county:
Form A, Form B, Enumeration Re-
port, and Teacher QUESTIONABLE.
We know that you do not mean to
hold us up and are, therefore, urs-
ing you to send in these reports at
once. Very truly yours,
]. B, BROWN, State Supt.
The teachers can see and apprecl-
ate the fact that when | write you
for your reports it is not a personal
preference of mine but a business
necessity. l am very sorry that there
are two or three teachers whose re-
ports have not gotten yet.
Very truly,

X Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Hudgins, after
few days visit here in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Hudgins, left
Monday returning to Nashville. Rev.
Hudgins has just returned from IL
linois, where he dedicated a new
Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
and in a few days he goes to Mary
vile, Tenn, to dedicate another. He
is now well over the way for the goal
of one hundred new churches. The
church has grown since the division
at Decatur to fourteen hundred. Be-
fore the division there were sixteen
hundred, and the results of the di
vision were disheartening, but thru
the efforts of such loyal and active
agencies as Rev. Hudgins the
growth of the Cumberland Presby
terrain Church in the past few years
has been remarkable. Rev. Hudgins
tells us that the endowment of $780,
900 for the proposed new literary and
theological seminary will be all sub
scribed and underwritten by the
time the General Assembly meets
next May. The fund is now approx
mately $450,000. This school is to
be located next year The General
Assembly in May is to select the To-
cation, and Bowling Green. KY
Greenfield, Mo-, Jackson and McKen-
zie, Tenn, are making some very lib
eral offers to get the school. Mem
phis is also an applicant. Very large
cash subscriptions and land tracts
both at Bowling Green, KY, and
Greenfield, Mo-, are to be offered.
Mckenzie offers the present site and
$4,000 cash. Jackson makes a cash
offer of $4,000 and a suitable site.
The offers are especially large in
Kentucky and Missouri, but the
school will be worth wniie.

1t seems strange that Congress, in
spite of the fact that the people are
burdened with debt and taxes,
should continually take the course
that leads in the opposite direction
from economy. 1t seems passing
strange that Congress should shirk
responsibility when the combined
wisdom of its representatives is most
needed for financial relief. The idea
of organizing and constituting COM
missions with full authority to pass on
international debts and settlements
is antagonistic to the provisions of
the Constitution and repulsive to
American ideals. The idea that the
Congress of the United States, the
constituted authority to negotiate
treaties, to declare war, conclude
peace, to impose taxes, should create
and constitute tariff commissions and
numerous other expensive and auto
cratic commissions to work out and
execute the various problems of in
ternal and external economy is con-
trary to the spirit of the Constitu-
tion and wholly undemocratic and
un-American. That Congress should
spend large, sums of money for the
organization and support of these
commissions and shift its responsible
ity to the shoulders Of these Fed
eralistic and irresponsible powers,
the way we view it, strikes blow
at free government and registers an
admission of incompetency. If Con-
gress is not able to do its sworn du-
ty then the whole system of repre-
sentative government is a failure.
And heaven knows, if we ever needed |
the combined wisdom of a representa-
tive body of patriots and statesmen |
we need it now.

Decrease IN Labor.

Large employers in Wisconsiu
who carried their own risk during
the payroll period, including the
IS of January, had ten percent less
employees than they had on Dec.
IS. The total number of EN-
ployees of these employers, as re-
ported to the Indurtria! Commits
sion was 38,S73 in January as
against 43,4I5 i'll December This
represents a decrease of thirty per
cent in the total number of EN-
ployees in these firms since July,
and probable reduction in the
number of factory employees in
Wisconsin of o. 900 as compared
with a year ago.
The largest reductions reported
in January were in lead, zinc and
iron mining; stone crushing and
quarying, stone finishing; and in
furniture factories. Decreases as
compared with December were not
ed in all metal working industries
and in all wood working industries.
Tanneries, boots and shoes,
chemicals and hosiery and clothing
factories reported practically the
same number of employees in Jan.
as i'll December. In these industries
there is evidence of some recovery.
Pulp and paper mills also show
only small decrease i'll the mum
Der of employees and have not as vet
been materially affected by the de
preston.
The last week in January was
the best week reported by the en-
ployment offices for some months.
There were larger number of
calls for help than at any time
since October, This probably indi-
Gates that there has been some re-
Covery since the middle of the
month, but in many lines this has
been only slight.
