IF! ON SATURDAYS Daily Herald.)
II is probable that no egfoit will be
made by Tax Assessor Williams this
year to assess the poll taxes against
the women voters OF the county as re
CURED by recent act Of the legisla-
tura. The act in quest On is in some
respects direct contradiction CT the
assessment laws of the state IN tina
1t 6xes time for the assessor mt of
the women poll taxes that is altogeth.
e. different from that fixed for the as.
sessment of taxes.
1t is provided that on June the as.
SCISSOR shall assess pt II taxes agains
all women in the county between the
ages of twenty one and fifty. On this
date the assessment law requires that
the assessor shall comp.ett his as
sessment of the taxab property OF
the county and turn his books over
to the county board of elualization
Assessor Williams is now wor king
with all his force to comply with this
law and he expects 10 be ready on the
first Monday in June for the meeting
Of the board Of equalization. He would
find it physically impossible to assess
all of the women voters and complete
his other work.
After the board of equalization
meets on the first Monday in June Mr.,
vii Jams must for at least thirty days
attend its sessions. He could net pos
sibly spart the time then to make the
assessment, nor could the final ap-
prevail of the assessment rolls of the
county wait on this assessment. For
these reasons the assessor is unable
at til 6 time to figure out how he is go
ing to assess the women voters this
yea.
Moreover, no provision whatever is
made in the law for any compensation,
for the assessor Tax Statistician
-Louthan has written that he will ask
the county courts of the state for an
appropriation at the July term to COW
er the work, but it is cons .dered doubt
ful about the court making the allow
ance Again It is understood that the
~enol assessor. being one of those old
time chivalrOus Southerners rather
views with alarm the idea of ridin 3
up to the home of every woman in
Maury county and ask ng her how old
she is. And he would MT in such a
quest offend any good woman by as.
cunning that she is over the age OF
fifty Altogether it is about as knotty
problem as tie assessor has yet facet.

(From Mondays Da ly Herald.)
A real ground soaking rain would
be very helpful to the farmers OF the
county. 1t is very much needed on
fields where winter cover crops have
been turned under and it is expected
to plant corn. The land is SO hard
that it is very difficult to prepare. The
late corn is showing a fine stand, and
much of the crop that was repllnted
because of the cod, is looking good.
Corn W II not suffer at this period for
the lack of rain. The wheat crop gives
every promise of a good yield. Ganer-
ally tie plant has headed out well and
in few very, very advanced fields the
grain has commenced TO turn. Farm
crs are expecting above an average

Jury May Probe
Light Payment
Of Canine Tax

IF ON Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Under the law of the state every
dog in Maury county is liable for tax
alton. 1t is known that there are more
than 5000 CANNES in the county,
which should net the county gross
revenue of between $4,000 and $4,000
when the tax has been collected. Up
until the present time the tax has
been paid on less than 400 1t would
be possible for one to sit. down and
count with little trouble that many
dogs in the county. The law is plain
and it Is the duty of the tax assessor
also the duty of the dog owner to re-
port the number Of CANNES in h S pos
session.
The grand jury is now in session,
and it is not unlikely that the slow
payment of this tax will be inyestigat-
ed by that body.
Up until the present time many
claims have been fled with County
Trustee j. Ross Burns for sheep killed
by the worthless dogs of the county.
These claims cannot be paid until the
tax has been collected as provided for
by law. There has been no change in
he statute Of 1919 as applies to Mau.
ry county this year, and there is no ex-
cuGe for ignorance of its provisions.

comb this morning that the issuance

gin aga.nGt vehicle owners who have
not yet paid the county wheel tax.

ready to begin the issuance within
the next few days. Up until this morn
ing the county tax had been paid on
l,554 automobiles, which is more than
200 under the number upon which the
state tax has been paid.
The county tax has been paid upon
a total of $3.50 vehicles, divided as
follows, 1,4l7 wagons, l.554 automo.
biles and 2,209 buggies, showing that
there are many wagons and bugges
in the county upon VIII oh the tax has

net been paid.
County officials declared there is alb

it would be impossible for any yehi-
Gle owner in the county to be in ig-
