1t seems that the candidates for
Governor, none of them, have uttered
word about the proposed $50,000,-
900 bond issue for good roads in
Tennessee. l suppose each one is
waiting for the other, so that they
may try both sides of the question.
Whether it is the right thing to do
or not, such things as this should be
taken before the people. Surely. Mr..
Peay, who is advocating a referen-
dunn on State and county bond is
sues, should not object to a referen-
dunn on such thing as bonding the
State for $5O,000,O00 for public
highways. Open up, men. Say it
with flowers.

An Omen Letter.

Editors The Commercial, Union
ICity, Tenn. The Commercial is one
of the few papers of the State that
is dealing directly and specifically
with the affairs of the State that are
| in need of immediate readjustment.
What Mr.. T. o. Morris had to say,
with regard to arithmetic in the
schools, last week, to voters in Obion
County, will be passed around from
citizen to citizen, in every county of
fthe Commonwealth.
! Many of our papers are complain
ing of lack of patronage" and, yet,
week after week, these same papers
do not contain one column of gem
uine discussion concerning the vital
issues that are to be voted on in less
than three months time, in the State
in which they are published.
Also the candidates, if silence is
really and truly golden, some of
those who have announced for nom
nation at the hands of the peo-
| pie will reap a rich harvest.
The old story of the donkey stand
| ing between two punches of hay,
slowly starving because Of his in
decision as to which bundle to grab
first, is reversed.
The large majority of those seek
| ing nomination for State position are
standing round the bundle of posi-
bilities rich in the promise of pat
ronage" and are afraid to choose a
bunch of issues for fear they will
grab a bunch of thistles. There is
one compensation for all this lack Of
definiteness on the part of papers and
candidates-the people are writing
and interviewing and discussing
among themselves.
By means of my bulletin, TAXA
ton in Tennessee" l have come in
touch with voters of 80 counties Of
| Tennessee. No wonder the profess
sional politician and the CRATER hate
the primary" The primary is prov
ing the salvation of the thinly settled
countless; and they do enjoy ex-
pressing themselves as to the High
way Department and the neglect of
the elementary schools.
There are in Tennessee Abs one
room schools, and there has been alb
solutely no advance in the methods
of dealing with these schools for
twenty years.
Public school money wasted on all
sorts of frills and follies in the large
towns and thickly populated coun-
ties while the folks Of some counties
have the school room door closed in
their face more than two-thirds of
the year; while the roads leading to
the school are impossible.
Let The Commercial keep up the
fight; continue to deal in facts and
to hand out truths" Some folks
are to have a rude awakening this
November.
And this November will be only
the beginning; two years from now
the voters of the rural districts of
the State will be heard from in tones
of unmistakable import.
Cordially,
L. GRAHAM CROZIER,
Knoxville, May "a, 1922.

the university, is worth quite LOT
of attention.
The man who straightens out the
political tangle in Tennessee must
first dehorn this triangular organiza-
ton. There is no other lobby nor
any other waste and corruption that
is half as hard to.overcome. The prun-
ing of State offices and the beheading
of the back tax machine, If that is
the only fight to be made, then the
reform movement might as well adj
journ. 1t will be a tempest in tea
pot.
Mr.. Peay is going to save million
dollars by tax readjustments. He is
going to reduce agricultural taxes
and increase corporation and intan-
gible property. Every other candi-
date has promised the same thing.
Everyone bemoans the failure of the
present laws and each one is pledged
to reverse the order But this has
been going on for years and it has
not been done yet, and Mr.. Peay is
going to have hot time making cor
porations and paper holders pay
their Just proportion of the tax.
There is going to be very little re-
lief alone from Mr.. Peay's or any
other mans tax system as long as
the school Hobbies and others are al
lowed a free rein
