FOR BETTER SGHOO.y
IND BETTER H.IADS
Editor, The News:

A friend, a lawyer, has just brought
me copy Of the Granger County
News and ! am much impressed with
your opportunity for usefulness to
your people. On page 4, I find. in
good clear type and we'll Droof-read
an article "a Lesson from Nature"
/ write to osk If you viii rot de-
vote, each week, that space to para
graphs bearing directly upon the is
sues that our citizens must discuss
if we are to send the right kind of
men to the General Assembly Of 1923.
The article referred to is good but
at this stage, our country weeklies
have grave responsibility resting
upon them; each issue should bring
to the notice of the people of the
county. some matter that should be
discussed by one who seeks the NOM
ination for governor or for the legis-
lature.
l am sending copy of Bulletin
Taxation in Tennessee" and ask
your attention to page 16 From
1910 to 1920, 81 of our COUNTIES lost
population, why? During these years
Oil of our farmers left Tennessee for
Canada, why2 In Tennessee we have
neglected the country roads to spend
the money on Highways" for pleas
ure seekers from big towns TO cut up.
We have allowed the rich man in the
towns to escape the tax on his lux
uriously furnished home and collect
ed a tax on the farmers live stock
and even his poultry. In Tennessee,
we have allowed the legislature to
make appropriations of tens of thou
sands of dollars for the so-called
higher education" while the chill
dren of the less populous districts
have the door of the school house
shut in their faces more than two
thirds of the year. The more ambi-
tious young people are going to
leave our counties in larger and larg-
er numbers if they cannot gel suf-
fcient education to enable them to
make their way in the industrial and
social world. The young people in
fluence the parents and they point
out to the father and to the mother
that Tennessee is taxing the small
farmer on all his Improvements and
everything with which he works,
while other localities are inviting
him to come in and get better treat
ment.
Now, it is just because l live and
have always lived in a large town.,
Knoxville, where l have good streets,
etc, etc, that l have determined to
work to secure some of the comforts
of life for those of our people who
still occupy country homes and cul-
tivate the soil. In the course of

A POETIC GEM

"Oh, when the bump comes and fate
hands you a jar,
Don't baby yourself, whoever you
are, 49,.
Don't pity yourself and talk over
your woes,
Don't think up excuses for lodging
the blows.
But stick to the battle and see the
thing through,
And don't be a gutter, whatever
you dol"
