WASHINGTON, d. c., July
5-Probablv no piece of financial
Legislation ever introduced in the
American Congress has been re-
garded as more mysterious and
sinister than the bill recently
introduced by Senator Penrose
(Rep., Penn. } authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to ex-
tend the time of payment of our
war loans to Foreign governments,
including interests, about Sll 900,
900, 900, and to receive bonds and
obligations of any foreign govern
ment in substitution of those now
or hereafter held by the United
States under such terms and rates
of interest as may be deemed ior
the best interest of the United
States, etc,
AS analysed by Senator McKeil-
ar (Dem. Tenn..) the proposed
plan is for the United States to
swap its Indebtedness, 90 per cent
of which probably is good, and to
take German, Austrian or Turk
ish bonds for it, Senator Mcclellan
charged that the bill is an effort to
to help onr late allies to repudate
their debts and give us lot OF
worthless bonds for them.
In other words, the allies would
discharge their obligations to the
United States which are good and
collectable by turning over o.this
government the bonds and secur-
tiles they receive from the Central
Powers in paymentof reparations,
Senator Smoot (Rep., Utah, !
= srtAd tlat 5leither the Secretary
Of the Treasury or the President
of the United States had any idea
of taking worthless bonds from
one county in exchange tor good
bonds from another, to which
Senator Mcclellan replied that II
such is not their intention, whv
put the provision in the bill: why
give them that authority?
Senator McKellar charged that
the bonds of Germany, Austria
and Turkey were worthless, and
asserted that no other bonds were
mentioned except the bonds OF
these.three countries, The Allies
he said, have no other bonds or
other countries except those OF
Germany, Austria and Turkey
which bonds they are now recelv-
ing as reparation.
Senator Smoot included IN
possible bonds receivable those OF
Belgium. Italy, Poland and the

MYSTERIOUS and
SINISTER LEGISLATION

little independent countries set up
by the war to which we have al
vanced money. He also said that
If the Secretary Of the Treasury
overlook to exchange good bonds
for worthless ones that Congress
would stop him Immediately, but
Senator ,McKellar, prompted by
Senator Fletcher, retorted that if
one-tenth of the secrecy continues
to prevail about this Indebtedness
the transaction might be completed
before Congress knew anything
about it,
Senator McKellar made strong
plea for the collection of the
interest on this indebtedness.
about $500, 100000 per lnnum, in
order to reduce taxation, saying:
i say to my Republican friends
that the burden is upon you for
legislation. You promised the
people to reduce taxation. You are
not doing it. call your attention
to the fact that there are but two
possible ways in which you can
reduce taxation in this country at
this time. One is by the collection
of the interest on this ten or eleven
billion dollars of foreign indebted
ness. The interest on it vii amount
to $500, 600, 600 year III round
figure, which will be one tenth
of the taxation we impose if we
spend s., 500, 900, cooper year. If
you. will collect that interest you
can reduce taxes one-ninth.'
| Continuing, he said i hope
that provision which gives the
Secretary al the Treasury the
right to substitute German, Aus
trian and Turkish bonds for the
bonds of such nations as England,
France and Italy and Belgium will
be stricken from the bill.
Concerning the power to take
bonus of one c ountry for bonds of
another, Senator Smoot admitted
he thought that is a great power to
to confer upon the Secretary of the
Treasury.
Secretary Mellon has appeared
before the Finance Committee of
the Senate, which is holding hear
ings on the bill, but beyond the
statement that the only funding
negotiations entered into were
with Great Britain, shed no light
upon the matter. The Democrats
in the Senate are determined to
light all the details of this mys-
terious proposal.

The July 1921 term of quarterly
county court convened here Mon
day morning with Chairman Kerr
holding down the bench, and
every member of the court present
and answering to roll call.
After the reading of the Chair
man S report, the question OF fix
ing the tax rate was taken up. On
account of it being expected that
the Court would fix the tax rate
at thi, term, several hundred
farmers were present at the open
ing of the court and remained un-
Ill after the noon hour.
Mr.. A. F.. Love, who had been
requested by some members oftne
Court to prepare and submit
statement OF the county's financial
condition, to be used as basis
for making the 1921 tax levy, re-
ported in part as follows:
The total assessment Ot public
utilities Tennessee Power Co.,

for 1870 was 81, 133. Ssl. OF this
anaotanf the assessment OF the L,

y issss authorities saJoined he
payment 81 taxes on this assess
ment on the grounds that It was
TOO high and the injunction suit
is still pending in the courts ana
unsettled at this time. he rall-
road, however, paid tax on tne
basis of the 1919 assessment, or
81, ,343, 500, leaving the tax on
the remainder of the 1920 assess
ment Of 81, oOs,97S in the court
and unsettled, and which wouid
give us a total tax of $S,07i.s2 to
he distributed amo lg the seVeral
county funds. if paid. The out
come of this suit is problematlcaI
and this item should not be con-
sidered at this time. Deducting
this item from the 1920 utility as
sessment, the utility assessment OF
the county for the year was @o'-
l24,853, and giving a total as
sessment for the county OF elh-
7Ol ,4O7, on which total the coun-
~ collected tax for the year.
Judging from the agitation going
on over the State for lower assess-
ments, it is highly probable that
the utility assessment will be re-
duced If the utility assessment
should be reduced and the rate
of reduction be l6 per cent the
same rate as on the local assess
ment, we will have a utility assess
ment in the county for this wear
of IS. IA, 9o7, or a grand total IN
the county of $l4,77l,2 ,286. This
total does not take into considera-
tion the railroad assessment OF
81. .ooS, 97s which is tied up in the
Courts. The rate OF decrease ON
utilities may not be lo per cent
and | think it safe to conclude
that the total assessment for the
county for the year will be ap-
proximately SIS, 5,Ooo,o 900, and
which will be used as a basis II
estimating the levy necessary to-
the wear and hereinafter submit
ed. "a.
