says: All property shall be taxed ac-
cording to its value, THAT VALUE
TO BE ASCERTAINED IN SUCH
MANNER AS THE LEGISLATURE
SHALL DIRECT, so that taxes shall
be equal and uniform throughout the
State
ITO 20 into detail as briefly rs
possible: It is a well-known fact that
the average farmer in the State does
not realize from the operation Of his
farm net earnings equivalent to six
per cent on the invested capital, or
on its market value, or anything like
that sum, and 1t Is also well known
that the farm is not expected to
yield the fixed and certain dividends,
in dollars and cents, which the part
nership, association or corporation is
expected to yield. The latter must
bring to those who invest in them net
earnings equal at least to the inter-
est which the money would earn,
else there would be no reason for
continuing the investment, and the
average successful corporation prob
ably earns considerably more than
six per cent. The average farmer
does not look upon his farm so much
in the light Of business enterprise,
but rather ~ = means Of making a
comfortable living for himself and
family and to add to the general food
supply, with no thought of accumu-
lating great wealth; but not SO with
the corporations which, on account
of the special license conferred upon
them by the State, are enabled to
grow and prosper and do great things
for themselves and for the State. So
in the very nature of the situation
it is apparent that the earning power
Of the property should be looked to
and given great weight in determin-
ing the value to be placed upon it
for taxation purposes, and this Is
what I mean by a policy Of liberality
oward the farming and rural COM
munities of the State"
likewise pursued the question Of
economy by sending special mes
age to the Legislature and in 1t
pointed out, in concrete form, how
.he State could be saved thousands
Of dollars by the elimination Of USE
less Offices through the reorganiza-
ton of its entire system. In that
message, among other things, said:
Reorganization of State Government.
"The Legislature should proceed
without further delay, and l so rec
ommend, to reorganize our State
Government into about seven or
light separate departments. All
branches Of the States business Of
kindred nature hould be placed In its
legitimate department. For instance,
there should be a Department Of Ed
ucation, q Department of Agriculture,
a Department Of Insurance, De-

partment of Health, Department Of
Labor, and q Department Of Geology
and Forestry. Each department
should have a head secretary
with ample office help. Each secre-
tary should be responsible to the
Governor and should be required
quarterly to make reports to the Gov
ernor of the transactions and expen-
ditures of his department so that the
Governor may know, and the peo-
pie through the Governor may know,
the exact status of the business af-
fairs Of their government. We never
can have systematic, efficient and
economic government, in my opinion,
until this Is DONE"
In conjunction with these and 9TH
err messages, all looking toward q saw
ing to the taxpayers Of Tennessee,
sent a special message to the Legis-
lature giving actual figures Of the
condition of the States Treasury,
warning against extravaganza, and
appealing for curtailment Of expenses

followed the other questions
which the voters Of Tennessee had
passed upon and made concrete rec.
concentrations, in harmony with cam
paign and platform pledges. My &C
ton in all these matters, evidenced
by the written records which cannot
be erased from the history Of the
State, establishes the fact that
complied with the promises made te
the voters Of Tennessee.
It Is a matter Of public knowledge
that in all Of these undertakings
was handicapped by an unfriendly
Legislature. The obstructive and de-
structive program that 1t adopted and
pursued, from the beginning to the
end, is known everywhere. Al
though I made known my desire and
purpose to leave all partisan poll
tics behind, upon entering the Gov
ernor's chair, manifesting to all con-
cerned that I.would tolerate no policy
Of retaliation and be party to no
program Of spite, during the opening
days Of the Legislature a bill was
drafted and rushed through which
took from the Governors hands all
power and authority over the char
liable and penal institutions Of the
State. The moving purpose Of such
bill was to deprive me, and which
did deprive me, Of several hundred
appointments. I am not jealous of
the power Of appointment, but this
was a right and privilege which had
been given to Governors Of Tennessee
for generations past, and / will lei
the great rank and file Of both par
ties say whether or not it was just
and fair to hold me responsible for
the operation Of the States institu-
tons and at the same time make il
impossible for me to exercise any
authority over their operation. ]

BIG SAVING ON
SCHOOL BOOKS

AT the opening of the public
schools this session four hundred
thousand Virginia pupils were sup
piled with textbook lists by the state
Board of Education through local
school authorities, as announced By
State Superintendent Harris Hart.
These lists give book titles and
prices and were so marked by teach
ers that there was little chance of
mistakes in purchasing necessary
books.
"Such service as furnishing book
lists to schools, to rural schools in
particular, is n part OF larger SER
vice Of the State Board OF Educa-
ton which supplies several million
printed forms and bulletins used by
the schools throughout the state an
nually, Superintendent Hart stated.
by printing this vast amount of
MARTIAL under one contract through
the Public Printer, Davis Bottom,
large saving is effected TO the public
school system of the Commonwealth.
When Il compulsory attendance law
went into effect this year, for exam
pie. over n half million printed forms
were required ut one printing. Had
these been provided by the one hun
drcd and nine school divisions OF the
state, instead OF by the State Board
of Education, the aggregate cost
