Du Mond Quartette.

One Of the organizations that is
worthy Of its announcements IL the
Du Mond Quartette, Redpath Ly-
ceum attraction which appeared on
the boards here at Reynolds Theatre
on Thursday night, March 8. Too
bad we had pouring rain and many
could not be present, especially those
who have been suffering with that
popular distraction, the flu. The Du
Mond Quartette appears to know how
to do many things exceedingly well
as well as to sing, and the singing
alone, in the eyes of Union City folks,
has heart and voice in it that quite
overwhelms us with the fact that it
is incompatible. Not so strange then
that the versatility of the artists
gave the audience so much general
pleasure. The entire gamut of song
creation was attacked with consum-
mate ease and skill, and the evening
as a whole was a triumph in the
realm Of song and mimic art.
Real entertainers they are and it
would give the people OF Union City
genuine pleasure if the Du Mond
Quartette could be with us next
spring at the Chautauqua meeting.

Mass Meeting Called.

1t has been suggested that mass
meeting of the taxpayers and voters
of Obion County be held in order to
discuss and exchange views upon the
present tax taws and the political
and financial issues of the State and
county, more particularly to get an
expression from the people of the
county as to what is desired of their
representatives in the Sixty-third
General Assembly. Carrying the sug-
gestion out more fully. it is desired
that the representatives be instructed
along the lines of State and county
legislation in order to properly re-
fleet the sentiment and the wishes of
our people upon questions of vital
mportance-suchm matters as demand
the pressing attention of the people
Of Tennessee. The issues, more es-
pecially with reference to State and
county taxes and public expendi-
lures, are awakening the people of
the State to a sense of outraged JUS
tice and public duty.
Therefore, we hereby call mass
meeting of the taxpayers and citi-
zens of Obion County to be held at
the courthouse in Union City, Tenn,
on Saturday, the 25th day of March,
1921, at 1880 o'clock pm, for a gen.
eral conference and suitable action
upon these and all other matters that
may properly come before said meet
ing.
Every taxpayer and citizen of the
county is urged and should be pres
ent at this meeting.

For the Legislature.

We are authorized to announce S.

election as Representative from Obi

Assembly of Tennessee, subject 10
the action of the Democratic party,
to be expressed in a primary election.
1t has been the custom, other
things being equal, from time i'm
memorial, to endorse the candidate
for a second term of office. Possibly
the people of the county have been
able to find in the matter of equation
between candidates the record has
been in Mr.. Bratton's favor-more
than equal. Mr.. Bratton claims that
his work in the last Legislature
meant saving to the taxpayers of
the State of from two to five hundred
thousand dollars. Without doubt he
was one of the strongest members of
that body opposing the general waste
and extravagance-not to say, the
graft-that stigmatized the Sixty
second session Of the General Assem-
bly,.
In the first place Mr.. Bratton OPP
poses the State Tax Commission, and
his views upon that matter were Civ
en- in this paper in the issue of No.
vember 25, 1921. He thinks the
county should have complete control
of assessing and collecting its own
taxes, and that the back-tax machine
should be abolished altogether and
the county trustee authorized, with
sufficient safeguards, to collect back |
taxes. The most important question |
connected with the tax system is to |
devise ways and means to equalize
the taxes between the landowner and
the man who holds notes and securi- |
ties and other personal property, and |
thus to legislate for the benefit of |
the farmer instead of solely for the

Our old-time friend, Lowe Shearon,
who was schoolmate at Troy many
years ago, and whose father, T. r
Shearon, was a Troy lawyer, also q
Yale man, announces himself as an
independent candidate for the United
States Senate from the State of New
York to succeed Senator Calder,
whose term expires next March. Mr..
Shearon is journalist, having been
associated with news service bureaus
of Chicago and New York for thirty
years. For many years he filled the
various stations of reporting and has
interviewed some of the great men
of the times. Recently he became in
terested in the science of political
economy and is really the father of
an idea This idea has been pre-
sented to our readers number of
times, viz:
Fair competition. clearly defined,
would mean fair distribution of
wealth, true property rights and sta
BILE industry"
Mr.. Shearon. bases his assumption
upon the law that governs the use of
Money and property are
merely mediums of exchange. If, he
thinks, there should be legal restric- !
tons governing the use of money I
why not the same or some such re-
striction in the use of property. He
thinks that managers of industrial
should be confined to a
limit in compensation, in other words
hat it should not be possible to ex
,eed a stated profit, based on pre-
yious costs. Mr.. Shearon thinks
hat the law applied to usury could
&c extended to every branch of in
lustry as well as to the business of
money lending. His theory contem-
,lates the vast distinction that is
'racticed between six and eight per
ent money and the one hundred or
ne thousand per cent profit sharing
n the industrial and mercantile
ines. He wants, of course, to allow
or hazards and responsibilities.
In addition to this, Mr.. Shearon
kinks that it should not be possible
o buy house and lot to-day for five
thousand and sell it tomorrow for
en- thousand. The theory is that if
omebody makes an undue gain some
ody else or number of persons
ose in the same promotion, and
hat, carried to conclusion, is the
ecret of defiation and panics.

STOR N CAUSES

One of Most Severe Storms In

Washington, Jan. >3O.-More than "a
hours of continuous snow had Satur-
day night covered the middle Atlantic
section, with Washington as center,
GA depth Of foot to nearly 30 inches;
caused the suspension of practically
all business activity; disrupted tele-
phone and shut most of the pop
ulation in their homes. @
The storm, which weather bureau
officials said was one of the most
severe in history and exceeded in the
depth of snowfall only by the long
remembered blizzard of February,
1899, was moving slowly last night up
the coast from it's position during the
day.
Reports to the, weather bureau
showed that the Carolinas. Virginia,
7 Maryland, Delaware and the District
Of Columbia were bearing the brunt
of the storm and receiving the heav-
lest snowfall+ Virginia cities accus-
tombad to only an inch or so Of snow
and then of rare occurrences, were

FIRE CAUSES
HEAVY DAMAGE

st. John, n D., Jan. 31-Fire broke
out in the local garage Friday
night Inside OF two hours the build
ing was burned to the ground. The
Fire originated in the rear OF the gar
age, where the electric light plant
was located. 1t probably started
around the exhaust pipe. Twenty
eight cars were in storage, most OF
them without insurance. Two were
saved. There was very little insur-
ance on the building, making the
whole almost a complete loss.
For time it was feared that the
operator OF the light plant had been
enveloped by the flames, but upon
closer investigation he was found to
be safe and sound.
