THROUGH LIVESTOCK
CONDITIONS ARE NOW IDEAL IN
TENNESSEE SAYS DIVISION
OF EXTENSION.
(From Mondays Daily Herald)

=
Conditions are now ideal for build,
ing a real live stock industry in Ten
nessee" say live stock specialists Of
the division of extension, University
of Tennessee.
Good pure bred, registered dairy
cattle, beef cattle and hogs say these
specialists, can now be bought at
prices in keeping with conditions and
with the market prices for dairy pro
ducts and meat animals"
TO succeed at live stock raising We
must improve our old pastures and
prepare new ones. We must raise
more le9uminous feeds. Proper crop
rotation with live stock will build up
the fertility of our exhausted soil
and will also help greatly In improy.
ing farm labor conditions by better
distributing the farm work
The division of extension desires
to aid farmers in the starting right
with live stock, will send its live
stock bulletins on request, and offers
the services of its trained workers
to farmers wishing advice and assist
ance in feed production, care of ami
mails and the locating and selectng
of animals for breeding >purposrs,
stockers or feeders.

LOCAL LEGISLATION.

Like voice from the wilderness
comes the opinion of Chancellor New
man, of Davidson county, holding
void and unconstitutional the act of
the last legislature which sought to in
crease the fees of the sheriff of Da-
edison county through that wonder
fully devised legislative legerdemain
known as local or courtesy" legisla-
ton. Judge Newman holds the act
to be vlolative of the fundamental
laws of the land because it confers
upon the official of one county privi-
leges and immunities not conferred
elsewhere and because it imposes
upon litigants and taxpayers in one
county burdens not shared by those
OF the rest of the state.
For years The Herald has protested
against the absurdity of the local leg
islative fad. The legislature has gone
wild on the question of local laws un
til today there are in Tennessee differ
ent procedures in the criminal courts
In different counties. the officials are
compensated on different basis and
a person moving from one county in
this state to another is more confused
over what the law may be than II he
were moving from this state to anoth-
er state. It is all ridiculous and
would be farcical IL it were not so
tragic.
II legislator from a particular
county cherishes a pet idea or hobby
on a particular subject that he would
embalm in the bulky statutes of this
state, he seeks to interest other men,
hers. Usually he fails in this, for
there is not another member quite
cranky enough" on this particular
hobby to join with him in enacting
the sought after legislation. The
fact, however, that the scheme propos-
ed does not appeal to anotheg legis-

ABOLISH THE OFFICE,

Offices once established are difficult
to abolish. Some one always seems
to feel that there is vested right in
filling an Office once created and the
public shares his view. Neverthe-
less The Herald again renews its sug-
gestion made years ago, that the office
OF secretary of the city board of edu
cation be abolished. If the taxpayers
of Columbia are to have any real re-
lief there must be reduction Of ex-
pehses, Everyone of the little sine.
cures like membership on the fire and
police board, secretary of the educa,
ton board and compensation for COM
mittee chairmen Of the board of may
or and aldermen, should be abolished.
Columbia has enough governmental
machinery for a city of twenty-five
thousand population. That is why
taxes are SO high and the city is al
ways short OF funds.
The duties performed by the sec
rotary of the board Of education
could be performed just as acceptably
either by the recorder or the city SUI
perintendent of schools and without
an additional cent of cost to the city
An ordinance could be quickly passed
imposing the duties upon one or the
other of the officials named and the
city could be saved whatever is paid
to the secretary for his services. The
city board of education must reorgan-
lie soon and now is the time to prac-
tiee real economy.
The Herald sincerely hopes that
widely circulated reports to the effect
that changes made in the membership
of the board of education may mean
a change in the policies of the schools
OF the city, are wholly without founda-
ton. Columbia has no greater asset
than the public schools. They are or
should be q source of pride to every
citizen OF the city. Nothing should
be done that will in any way detract
from their present high standard OF
efficiency.

DEMocRAcYs CHANCE.

COrdell Hull well deserves the hon
or that the democrats of Tennessee
will confer on him at the big dinner
planned at Nashville on December 2S
by the state executive committee, but
this dinner should be more than a
tribute to the national committeeman
from this state. 1t should be the oc.
casion of the coming together of the
best minds in the democratic party for
counsel and for guidance. If the dem
ocrats win In the state elections next
year they must prove themselves wor-
thy of the peoples confidence. The
time has passed when the democrats
can triumph in Tennessee on tradi-
ton; the hour has gone when mere
appeal to sentiment will suffice with
the voters.
If the democratic party is restored
to power in Tennessee 1t must appeal
to the reason and judgment of the
voters. 1t must frankly confess some
of its past mistakes and assure the
voters that they will not be- repeated.
In short and in fine to win in this state
next year the democratic party must
deserve to win. At the proposed ban
quet the abest and most disinterested
leaders among the party of the state
should frankly discuss and outline the
party's position in the next campaign.
1t is to be hoped that as result
of this conference some plan will be
developed for an old fashioned state
convention early in the spring to
make and submit for the approval of
the voters a platform. 1t may be that
mary act it may not be feasible or
advisable to nominate candidates
through convention, but there could
be no objection to one for the purpose
of stating the party's position on the
issues of the day. A strong platform
of principles, one that will not dodge
the issues, but promise restoration
of the party in this. state to it's funda-
mentals, eschewing all socialistic or
communistic schemes of government
would make powerful appeal to the
people of Tennessee.
The Herald suggests that Represen
tative Finis j. Garrett, the able and
brilliant leader of the democratic mi
nority in the house, be selected as the
POSTMASTER for. the coming. banquet
| No man in the state is so we'll equip

on that occasion. He is an old fash
toned democrat one of the few left
in public life. He probably has bet

citation of the basic principles of thai
historic party than any man in public
life in the state today. He could out

true to the traditions and principles
of the party and one that The Herald
feels sure would appeal to the major
| ity of the people of this state.
This coming together of party lead
ers shauld be notable event. II
should be the harbinger of party vic
tory in Tennessee next year. 1t should
enthuse democrats and encourage
them with the hope that there is still
something vital. something more than
name and sentiment in the democratic
party. 1t should boldly proclaim tC
the world that so far as Tennessee is
concerned the democratic party clings
to the faith of the fathers.

lator does not in the least dampen the
ardor or lessen the zeal of it's propon-
ent. He simply writes the population
clause in the bill and drops it In the
Legislative hopper and 1t energies as
a matter of course as local legisla-
ton. No one ever examines local bills
and any sort of fool meaure" can be
passed. If only the supreme court
will follow Judge Newmans clear
reasoning the dawn of better day
for Tennessee will be in prospect.

comparison of the farmers purchas-
ing power to the retail prices, because
very few farmers buy from wholesal
ers. Before general prosperity can re-
turn to America there must be an ad-
justment between the prices received
by the farmers and the prices that
they must pay. 1t is the duty of every
one to contribute whatever is posi-.
BILE to bring about this situation at the
earliest possible moment.

FARMERS. PRICES.

NOtnmg is palmer tnan that our
present financial depression is due
very largely to the reimbursement of
prices. The farmers of Maury coun-
ty have prospered in the past with
farm products as low or even lower
than they are today. Two dollar corn,
dollar wheat, seven cent hogs and four
cent cattle have in years gone by
spelled prosperity for the farmers of
this section. Now they mean loss and
in many cases disaster. Why is this?
Solely because of a reimbursement of
She prices which the farmers are re-
sewing to the prices which he is com
PEELED to pay
The purchasing power of the farm
9rs, and their purchasing power in
this part of the country largely meas.
ures the volume of the purchasing
power of the community, is measured
not in dollars, but in the terms OF
their products. If for illustration the
farmer buys pair of shoes that three
years ago cost him $l2 for Sc, he is
not in fact getting that pair of shoes
for half what it previously cost him.
On the contrary he is actually pay
ing more in the products of his toll
and the returns of his capital than he
paid three years ago. In 1913 he
bought that $12 pair of shoes with
barrel and half of corn. Today the
same shoes selling at Sc cost him
three barrels of corn.
But that is not all. When he sold
his hogs for seven cents seven years
ago the freight was less than half
what it now is to market and the
equipment, machinery, etc, that he
must have on his farm cost him about
half what he now pays. Prices are
largely high because organized labor
has not contributed to a re adjust
ment of conditions with the result that
this labor can with a single days pay
buy more than twice, and in the case
of many railroad workers, three times
the amount of the products of the
farm that the same labor would have
paid for few years ago. This is why

Poultry Sh0u
To Be Biggest
EDer Held Here

(From Mondays Daily Herald)
According to present indications the
Maury county poultry show, to be held
at the Oliver Motor Cos. garage Dec.
Is, II and Is will be bigger and better
than ever before. Entries will be
more numerous and handsome prem
iums will be awarded for the best
showings of all breeds of chickens,
turkeys, geese and ducks.
The poultry industry in Maury
county has grown with leaps and
bounds during the past few years, and
this year it is certain that there are
more focks of fine chickens in the
county than ever before.
Interest in poultry raising will be
greatly stimulated by the big show.
and it is believed that all lovers of
fine chickens and other domestic fowls
will not miss an opportunity to see
the aristocrats of the feathered tribe
all assembled under one roof.
The show held last year eclipsed
all other similar showings held up un-
til that time, but those in charge of
the show this year declare it will be
even bigger than the exhibition of
1920.
All who expect to exhibit fowls this
year will be required to furnish their
own coops, which should be the stand.

SOUTH VERNON WOMAN
IS FINED BY JUSTICE
Mrs. Rosa McNeice To Pay
$50 and Is Given 80
Days In Jail

Mrs. Rosa McNelce of South Yer.
non, charged with statutory offense
with Charles Ridgeway, also of South
Vernon, was given her hearing before
Justice Harter late Monday afternoon.
She offered plea Of guilty and was
given fine of $50 and costs and must
serve 80 days In the county Jail.
Inasmuch as Ridgeway's sentence
was suspended on condition that he
interfere no more in the McNeice fam
lily affairs, 1t Is probable that some
similar arrangement will be made in
the case of the woman. Mrs. McNeice
has expressed readiness to return
to her home and Thomas McNeice, her
husband, has expressed readiness to
permit her to return. The suspension
of the sentence will depend largely
upon the guarantees that may be Civ.
en- to the court that the promises Civ.
en- will DO kept. Pending this arrange.
ment Mrs. McNelce is In the county
Jail.

NO FROST VERDICT
OF ALL OBSERVERS
Raw And Penetrating Wind
Causes Return OF Over
coats and Cloaks

"No frost" was the unanimous re-
port Of local observers Tuesday morn
ing. Monday afternoon the tempera-
ture began to drop, and by evening
those who still were clad i'm their
lightweights found it disagreeably
cold. A raw, penetrating wind was
the cause of the temperance Of a
number Of overcoats that had been
put away last spring and which car
ried the unmistakable aroma of moth
balls.
Housewives having plants still out
of doors generally took the precaution
to cover them with sheets or papers
to protect them from frost. Observ.
ers state that the weather changed
shortly after midnight. A cloudy sky
and wind further reduced the proba-
bility Of frost.
Tuesday moning, about $3.50 a cold
rain coming from the north fell for n
few minutes. The day has been chilly,
causing an increase in the number of
Overcoats and cloaks on the streets.
At the same time, an almost complete
Punishment of the straw hat has been
effected. A steadily diminishing mum.
her had persisted in clinging to their
straw lids, but the cold blasts OF Mon
day evening and Tuesday have worked
