DIRECTORS TO SERVE FOR
COMING TWELVE MONTHS. 2
OFFICERS TO Be CHOSEN SOON
Ballots Must Be Returned by the
Members to the Secretary Not Later
Than Saturday, January 8, when
They Will Be Canvasscd.
(From Fridays Daily Herald

Ballots are being mailed out by the
secretary's office for the election OF
the new board of directors of the
county council of agriculturer. There
are twenty-one directors to be elected
and this ballot contains the names of
all of the members of the council,
something like 200 members. Hence
every member of the council is in a
sense a candidate. However, they
are all unwilling candidates because
no one would care to assume the du-
eies and responsibilities of a direc-
tor unles he wanted to render some
good public service without any com,
pensation.
The ballot must be returned not lat
er than Saturday, January 8. At that
time a committee of the council wi |
canvass the returns and declare the
result. There are sixteen depart
ments of the council and one director
will be elected from each department
and five from the council at large. The
names of the members are distribut-
ed among the different divisions as it
is believed that their qualifications
best fit them for service.
At the meeting of the directors to-
morrow, which will be the last meet
ing of the present board, the commit
tee to canvass the returns will be ap-
pointed and time will be fixed for
converting of the new board and the
election of the officers for the coming
year. There will be elected from the

The members of the council feel
that they have ri gthtoE. ..5 e
that they have a right to congratulate
themselves on the pogress that has
been made during the past year. In

months old but during that time it has
accomplished much for the develop

OF achievements to its credit.

The SPEAKERS.

With the election of William w.
Bond, of Haywood county, and An
drew L. Todd, of Rutherford, as speak.
ers respectively Of the senate and
house the Legislature has made good
beginning Both are able men and
possess to an exceptional degree
the qualifications to fill creditably the
places to which they have been called.
Mr.. Bond is a yong member, one Of
the youngest ever elected speaker, but
he has had previous legislative expe-
rience and is a man of clean life, low
able disposition, sincere and earnest
convictions and genuinely patriotic
love Of his country and state. He is
son Of that grand old jurist and citi.
zen, Judge John R. Bond 1t is doubt
full if the senate could have made a
happier choice. f'#
Andrew Todd is one of the best
known and most popular men in Ten
nessee. He has been for quarter
of a century active in politics. He
has served repeatedly at both ends
of the capitol and breaks all precedent
by being chosen to the speakership of
both houses and that in a period of
two years, He is an adroit politician
and has sailed many a stormy and tur
bulent sea to safety He has the facil-
ity of making friends. He has cour-
age, mental and physical strength and
striking personality. The Herald
has not always agreed with Mr.. Todd
politically, but 1t entertains for him a
very sincere regard.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan 6.-By an
overwhelming vote John B. Thomson
was for the fourth time elected comp.
troller of the state by the democratic
caucus last night. This result was
forecasted in these columns month
ago when it was stated that the "back
tax machine" was always beaten un
til the votes were counted, but some
how it managed to come under the
wire with votes to spare.
The said votes of the Davidson and
Shelby delegations insured the cleo
ton of Thomson. The former dele
CATION was under hot fire from the
county court, the ex-service men and
the Rotary Club, but it stood by
Thomason with the exception of one
vote, that OF Senator Doris, who did
not, howver, vote for Col. Berry.
Maury countys delegation was di
vided. Senator Looney voted for
Thomson, as had been generally ex,
pected. Representative Russell vot-
ed for Col Berry, whom he had sup
ported from the first. Representative
Jones, about whose vote there had
been some doubt expressed, lined up
with the sentiment of his constitu-
ents and voted for Berry.
During Monday and Tuesday con-
siderable pressure was brought to
bear on the Maury delegation by the
friends and admirers of Col. Berry.
Many letters were received by Repre-
sentative Jones and on Tuesday even
ing a telegram from large number
of prominent business men of the
county was received by the entire del
egation urging support Of Col. Berry.
The reelection of Thomason means
vindication of his administration of
the back tax laws and no change is
expected in the personnel of the
force that has been collecting back
taxes for the past several years.

FARM TENANCY.

There is nothing discouraging in the
recent farm census Of Tennessee. The
number of farmers in the
state have increased in the
ten year period from 1910 to
1920 by $500. THE number last Janua.
ry was reported at 252,775. Farm
tenancy, contrary to expectations and
fears, did not increase during the past
decade although 1t is entirely too
large. Farm owners operated 14S,083
farms and tenants openated 103,S85
farms. The number Of farm owners
who operated farms increased during
the deade by 1000 while the number
Of tenants during that period shows
On increase within the period of 1926,
the proportionate increase in both
classes being about the same. While
there are more tenants than there
should be, the fact that during the pc.
Rod when the trek from the farm was
the greatest ir the history of America,
tenacy merely held its own in Tennes-
see should be very gratifying to the
people of the state.
Probably the best fact developed by
the census is that there are only sew.
en- hundred and sixty foreign born
farmers in the state, and that is about
$50 less than the number of foreign
born farmers ten years ago. All but
$4,000 of the farmers of Tennessee are
native white stock. With a popula
ton Of that character assuredly this
state has little to fear from the as.
saults upon our institutions of the rad.
icals. AS long as there are a quarter
of million native American farmers
scattered over the state the assaults
of the agitators and the walking dele
gates upon property rights will fall
upon deaf ears. Tennessee is "safe
for democracy" much safer than the
recent war made the world, at any
rate. Despite our discouragements
and the unfortunate rush from the
country to the cities there are still
some signs OF real sanity among the
folks and much has developed for
which we may all be truly thankful.
