KNOXVILLE IN FINANCIAL
STRAITS.

~ &A B
The East Tennessee city Of Knox
vile seems to be buried under noun
tain of debt.
A New York Bank threatens suit to
enforce collection of overdue notes to
the amount of more than $1,250 ,000--
and that's not all. There is an es-
timated deficit of 100000 in the
city's budget for the fiscal year
which ended September 30-and no
wonder, for the street department
spent $234,000 when it was allotted
S60,000 and the water department ran
$4,000 over its allowance, Knox
vile is being run into financial bank
ruptcy by the Commission form of
government. If individuals could get
into debt, as governments-from
small towns to nations-do, if every
mine in the world were a veritable
Golconda of gold, the debts contract
cd could not be paid.

WHEN HENRY FORD is
{. SEvENTY-FIvE.

It is said on its present assets Of
more than hundred million dollars,
the Ford Motor Co., could capitalize
at two billion dollars, but reducing 1t
to one and half billion, IL Ford were
to dispose of his business and so in
vest the money that it would bring six
per cent. his income would be ninety
millions year. Last year Ford paid
fifty million dollars in taxes, but this
year, through governmental favor to
the rich he win pay but sixteen mil
lions. His profits in 1922 are esti-
mated at $125,000,000 and his sixteen
millions taxes to come off of that
The Wall Street Journal estimates
that at its present rate, if maintained
until Ford is rs years old, (sixteen
years from now he will have for
tune of three billion dollars, and at
that time he could purchase the con-
trolling interest of 81 per cent. in all
the National banks and have left
81, 700, 100000 to invest otherwise.
That by buying the same interest in
the "Big Five" packing companies, he
could also dominate the livestock in
terests of the country. AT present
Mr.. Ford's income is one-six hun
dreth of all the money of the country
and the balance of it is divided among
hundred million people. His average
profits last year were six million dol
lars month. AT present the Ford
company is making 5,l00 cars a day,
which is 200 short of the orders. And
yet some of those who oppose Ford's
Muscle Shoals offer say that he is a
dreamer.

SPLENDID TRIBUTE
TO AUSTIN pEAY
4 ] s ~ 3 : I =
After Hon. Austin PeAv. Beinocrai

t-1s@ r.
After Hon. Austin Peay, Democrat
lie nominee for governor, had been
speaking week, the Chattanooga
News had the following to say about
him:
"His speeches are remarkable in
many ways. He tells no jokes, indul-
ges in little wit or humor. He speaks
to his audiences more than two hours,
and these speeches constitute for his
hearers a liberal education in state
government, the fundamental princi-
plies of our institutions and in the fl
nances and tax systems of our state.
He speaks rapidly, uses choice diction,
INDUCES in no colloquialisms or slang
and drives home to enc minds of his
hearers the plan and unvarnished
facts he wishes to impart. There are
no rhetorical pauses to permit APP
plause. There is no cheap play for
favor. There are truly eloquent pas
ages and no lack of eminent, but it
is natural and not forced
For years in Tennessee we have
talked much about tax reform. We
have made efforts to effectuate it.
1t has been almost impossible to
bring the masses of the people to
study the subject. They groaned un-
der the burdens. But they had no def
mite idea of a remedy. Even mem
bers of the legislature did not study
the subject. AT last the new laws
were adopted in 1919. The system, it
is conceded now, was not properly
considered. 1t failed in its purpose
of equalization. Land taxes shot up-
ward. Mr.. Peay tells how and why the
system failed, and he promises a rem
edy. He has the boldness and cour-
age to stand in the fall campaign for
exactly what he did in the primary.
The tax and highway departments are
in Democratic control. This does not
prevent the Democratic candidate
from continuing his msparing criti-
cism. Heretofore political pressure
of the officeholding class has been
able to exert on candidates for Gov
ernor and overnors themselves have
prevented the reorganizations and
economics plainly demanded. II will
not be so if Mr.. Peay Is elected.
Here we have fearless student of
state finapce offering himself for a
task whose difficulties would appall
most men.
When we see him in action and hear
his clear exposition of his views and
understand his program for Tennes-
see, We have confidence that he Is the
needed man of the hour.
So it is that in all his speeches in
East Tennessee he has gripped and
held large audiences. He has deepiy
interested them. He has mad every
patriotic, thinking Tennessean who
has heard him realize better the
needs of the state. This has been the
best counter to Governor Taylor, who
seems to think the defence for his ad-
ministration is to indulge in jest"

Two New Hospitals
Are Great Aid to
New York Veterans
Legion Is Highly Cratified
Over Presidents Approval
Of Additional Facilities
to Care for the Disabled

WASHINGTON, June i0.-President
Harding has approved the location Of
seven OF the fourteen hospitals % be
built in various parts Of the country
20 care for sick and wounded service
men. The cost Of building these hos
pitals will be taken from the $1,000
900 appropriated under the recently
passed Langley bill, which became law
following the agitation Of the Ameri-
can Legion, which proved that the coun-
try lacked adequate hospital facilities
for caring for its disabled World War
veterans.
New York state will have two Of the
hospitals, one within fifty miles Of New
York City and the other In the Adiron-
dacks. These hospitals, together with
the Veterans Mountain Camp which
the New York Legion has purchased In
the Adirondaeks, will, il is believed,
relieve 10 a great extent the unsatis-
factory conditions which have attended
the hospitalization Of ex-soldiers in the
Empire State.
Approved also are sites for new hos
p.tals at Northampton, Mass; Liver
more, Calf. Camp Lewis, Wash; Gulf
port, Miss, and one in the tenth dis
;rict Of the Veterans Bureau. which
takes in Montana, the Dakotas and Min
nesota. As in New York state. the new
government hospital in the Minnesota
district will augment facilities pro-
yided by the Minnesota Legion which is
20 build a completely equipped insti-
tuition, open to all service men, az
Rochester, MINI.
Prospective locations for additional
hospitals as allowed under the terms
Of the Langley bill are az the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station, H.; one
at Kansas City and one in Northern
Texas. The Presiden, also has ap-
proved the purchase OF the Methodist
Hospital at Memphis, Tenn, which will
take care Of the service men OF that
locality who are in need Of medical
attention.
