CRoSsvILLE TENNESSEE, wEDNESDAD OCTOBER IL, 1922.
GIVES THEM The GAFF
IN MOST APPROVED WAY
Judge Sam c. Brown Wins Praise for
Landing on "Leggers" With
Heavy Fines.

! The Sweetwater News gives a yer,
!, interesting account of the manner il
which Judge Sam c. Brown deals ou
fines to offenders against the law, es
pecially to those who violate the Vol
stead act. We clip the following from
the News of October a.
With a few more terms of court
like the one which closed last week
at Madisonville, the law violators oil
| Monroe county will begin seeking
other locations outside the jurisdic
ttion of Judge S. c. Brown, for their
| nefariouS practices.
In charging the grand fury, at the
opening of court, Judge Brown ex-
planned that the court room was an
educational institution, and Judging
from the pealties he imposed on those
convicted, there seems to be no doubt
but he expects to educate the Grim
nal element. Only in rare cases were
fines for public drunkenness less than
fifty dollars, which, together with the
costs, make plain drunk from SIS
to $Ioo and with bootleg liquor selling
at SIS to $Io per quart, it is rather ex-
pesive way of drowning trouble.
Judge Brown declared that if the JUS
tees of the peace would impose the
maximum penalty of $50. for this Of
Tense when drunks are submitted,
this habit would soon cease.
Judge Brown declared that he had
never had two better trial panels of
jurors, and it was said by those in
position to know, that this has been
the most effectual term of court for
law enforcement, ever held in Madi-
sonville. Fines for the term aggre-
gated $I,oIo, to which are added ex-
pense fees, making total of approxi-
mately $2,2oo."
Judge Brown was born ande reared
in this county and has rnan} friends
and acquaintances here as well as
relatives. We feel confident |
our people will be much gratifed at
the record Judge Brown is making in
enforcing the law, especially against !
those who violate the prohibition law.
Judge Brown Is one of the most ac-
tive Sunday school men in the state
and it is very evident he carries the
teachings of the Good Book into his
1aily life and administers to law vio-
ators with an even and steady hand
what justly belongs to them.
The splendid record Judge Brown
S making is not entirely due to his
Efforts but to the happy combination
If Judge and attorney general pulling
ogether with entire unanimity and
success T. w. Peace is attorney-gen-
,ral in Judge Browns district and he
S after the law violators with unfag-
,ing zeal so that the two together
make it exceedingly troublesome for

AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION
TO Be VOTED ON NOV. 7
Purpose Is to Equalize Taxation of
Money and Bonds With
Land, Etc.

An amendment to the state constitr
ton will be voted upon by the peopl
in the coming election. Every perso
should familiarize himself with tn
contents and purposes of the amend
ment. The proposed amendment fol
lows:
From and after the date when
this subsection of Section 28 of
this Article of the Constitution
of the State of Tennessee, shall
be i'll force, the powers of the Cen
eral Assembly over the subject
matter of the taxation of personal
property shall be as complete and
unrestricted as they would be as
if Section 28, of Article of the
Constitution did not exist, provid-
ed, however, that any tax levied
upon personal property must be
uniform as to persons and prop
erty of the same class within the
jurisdiction of the body imposing
the same, and all exemptions from
taxation shall be by general law,
and shall be revocable blythe Cen
eral Assembly at any time"
The real purpose of this amendment
may be best explained in this way
IT any persons buys farm, a resi-
dence or any kind of piece of real
estate, when it comes to be assessed
1t is by common consent assessed for
less than the real saleable price or
less than the real cost price. For in
stance. Let's suppose that man buys
a residence, business house or farm
and pays $4,000 i'll cash for it. When
the tax assessor comes around the
owner of the property would give it
in for assessment at about $4,000 or
$4,000 and that would be regarded as
a proper assessment, although not ac-
cording to law.
Some may say that the law requires
that "aH real estate be assessed at its
cash value on the basis that the own
er wished to sell and the purchaser
wished to buy" but the fact remains
that real estate is not so assessed.
There is hardly piece of real estate
in the county that could be bought
for the assessed value.
Now should this same man chance
to have $1,000 in cash in the bank he
NOuiu hOt give tllctt III DIT PO,oAO vi P4,-
boo for the law does not permit that
and it has not been the custom. 1t
is felt that because of that difference
in the assessment that much cash is
hidden away and never is given in for
ssessment, but if the owner of the
cash was allowed to give it in at less
than its real value, just as is done-in
defiance of the law and no one COM
plains-with real estate, fully as much
taxes or more would be realized by the
state and county and the owner of
the cash would cease to perjure HIM
self, as is done now in thousands of
instances.
Whether or not conditions would be
remains for each individual
to decide for himself and he should
govern his vote according to that judg- |
ment when honestly made.

PINE BLISTER RUST
State to Fight Menace to The
Forests.

Boise, Idaho The seriousness OF
The menace of white pine blister rust.
which threatens to destroy Idaho's
valuable white pine forests. Thurs
day caused Governor D W. Davis to
is.ue a statement to the people Of the
state. asking their co operation in
nreyenting the disease from injecting
Idaho forests.
United States forestry officials say.
that in Idaho there stands the largest
white pine forest in the world. 1t is
estimated there are $4,000, 600, 900
hoard feet of standing white pine in
the state. The blister rust has been
discovered in northwestern Washing
ton, and the governors statement
saws the federal government is pre-
paring to spend $3.50, 900 this year in
locating and eradicating this disease
wherever it exists 10 the west.
Ever since the disease was dlscov-
cred in British Columbia and western
Washington. the United States for
estry department. the state land
department and the state bureau of
nlaut industry have been working
unceasingly to prevent the spread of
the disease.
Measures to prevent its spread to
Idaho's white pine forests were dis
cussed at recent meetnn of the
northern Idaho timber protective as
sociations. Samuel B. Detwller, plant
pathoogist 10 charge Of white pine
blister rust control for the United
States department Of agriculture. was
in Boise recently, and held confer
ence with w. H. Wicks. state direct .
or OF the bureau of plant industry,
concerning a campaign of education
10 Idaho.
The action of the disease upon trees
is such that in few years after tree
is attacked it is useless for merchant
able timber.
Accordingly Governor Davis asks
the people of the state to cooperate
with forestry officials 10 fighting this
menace, by Rrubbing out all black
cnrraut bushes and destroying them.
Already 10 Idaho party has been
organized to cruise the forests 10
search for the deadly disease. This
party is now in the field and is work.
ing 10 cooperation with forestry Off :
cials. Persons everywhere 10 the state
are urged by the governor to become
acquainted with the appearance OF the
disease and to Immediately send to
the bureau of plant pathology al
Moscow any specimens showing the
slightest trace Of blister rust.
Instruction OF school children In
the habits and appearance of the
disease is also advocated by the
governor.

FORESTS VERY DRY
Western Association Reports
Bad Fire Conditions.

Portland, Oregon. July THE
forest fire situation is critical over
most of the Pacific coast, accord
ing to bulletins received today by
the Western Forestry & Conserva-
ton association, the clearing house
for all western protective agencies.
While high mountain regions have
the advantage of late snow disap-
pearance this spring, May and
June were abnormally dry and
woods conditions have reached
danger point earlier than usual
Already slashing fires have caused
heavy losses. Unless rain falls in
a few days bad fires in green
timber are expected and should
there be wind the situation may
get beyond control. Appeals are
being made to all persons in the
woods to use extraordinary pre-
caution with campfires, matches
and tobacco, and to refrain from
burning slashings. The fire laws
are being enforced rigidly, nine
convictions having already been
secured.
Washington has suffered worst,
having already had over 200 fires
with an estimate loss of, $3.50, 900
and two lives. Two fires we're
caused by moonshine stills. Little
mature timber was affected, being
moister, but nearly $4,000 acres OF
young growth was injured while IS
or 20 million feet of logs were
burned, with logging equipment
worth $3.50, 900, railroad property
amounting to SIoo, 900, and resi-
dences or property of settlers
totalling $I4o, 900. About 800
patrolmen are now being main
tained CO operatively by private,
state and federal agencies on the
territory outside the national
forests which are wholly under
government protection. The state
forester is urging that logging
operations cease on extremely
warm or windy days and that as
the berry season approaches
pickers in the woods refrain from
smoking or building fires.
Oregon had only 100 fires re-
ported in June with small damage,
but the forces are being recruited
to full strength and particular
effort is being made to perfect
prompt detection and dispatching
system for getting fire reports by
telephone and sending men to the
danger points. In few previous
years has the hazard been SO great
at the beginning Of July.
South Idaho reports the season
about normal but North Idaho is
dry and hot. The outlook is seri-
Gus for rain cannot be relied upon.
There have been some SO fires but
the protective forces have con-
trolled them so far with insignlf-
cant loss. Effort is being made TO
get legal action on every man
caused fire and several arrests have
been made. rs
