RESOLUTIONS.
The following is the report of
the committee on resolutions which
was adopted amid loud cheering of
the assembled Democrats:
"Mr. Chairman We, your COM
mittee on resolutions, beg to SUBJ
mit the following: The Demoe-
raoy of Benton County in conven-
tion assembled reafirms it's faith
in and pledges its continued alleg-
lance to the time-honored princi-
Piles of the Democratic party.
1'It points with pride to the six
years of Democratic control ofthe
affairs of our Government under
the mstchless leadership of Presi-
dent Wilson, during the first four
years of which our party enacted
into law more needful, progressive
and remedial legislation than had
been done by the Republican party
in over a quarter of a century OF
uninterrupted service-legislation
so sound in principle and SO help
full to the American people and TO
American institutions that the Re-
publican party in it's past three
years of Congressional control have
only not dared to repeal but have
been utterly incapable of improv-
ing upon.
"While all right-thinking people
regret that war with Germany be-
came necessary yet the country is
to be congratulated that when it
was declared the worlds greatest
living statesman was found at the
pilot wheel of the Old Ship of
State and supported by a Demo-
cratic Congress and the unstinted
faith and effort of a patriotic peo-
pie it was fought to successful
conclusion at least four years soor-
er than the most sanguine thought
it could be done. The Democracy
points with pride to the efficient
and successful prosecution of this
war under the leadership of Dem,
.ocratic President and Dem ocrat-
ic Congress and declare that it wss
the best fought, the best financed.
and the best conducted war ever
engaged in by the United States in
all the years of it's history.
"The Democracy of Benton
County to day sends greetings to
it's great leader, President Wilson,
and wish for him a speedy recovery
of his health to the end that he
may be spared to his people and
his country he so faithfully served
and loves SO we'll.

salaries, and wreckless appropria-
tions by our State Legislatures,
necessitating such an increase of
taxes that it has become burden
to taxpayers, and we believe that
the total disregard Of the rights of
the taxpayers of the State contrib
uted very materially, il not wholly,
to the election of a Republican
Governor at the last election; and
we further believe that the total
disregard and failure of members
of the last Legislature to relieve
the taxpayers of the State by re.
ducing the high cost Of theState
;government,( but on the other hand
increased same by the, creation of
more Offices, more boardsand more
commissions) will again bring
about the defeat Of the party at the
next election unless the taxpayers
are assured that the members of
the Legislature to be elected will
vote and work for the reduction of
the expenses of State government.
"We, therefore, condemn the
course of Senator G.. B.. Dillon in
the last Legislature as unwiae, ex-
travagant and not to the interest of
the constituents he represented,
and we pledge our influence and
support to the Democratic nominee
to be be make in the primary next
August to the end that this Sena-
torial District may be returned to
the Democratic fold.
awe condemn the extravaganza
of the last Legislature and advo-
cate the nomination and election
of men for Governor and members
of the Legislature pledged to re-
trenchment and reform and the
strictest economy, and to the abol-
ishment of every useless Office, and
the consolidation of kindred bu-
reaus and departments, and the
trimming of all appropriations to
Tighten the burdens Of the taxpay-
ers of the State SO as to not impair
the efficiency of the State govern
ment; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Democrats of
Benton County, in mass convention
assembled, that we favor:
81, The repeal Of the present
back tax laws and the adjustment
of the back tax system, erootsend
branch.
SO. The repeal of the 8 per cent
interest law, which is unwarranteed
and unjust.
SO The repeal of the law levy
ing 5 cents tax on the $l00 worth
Of taxable property in State for the
use and benefit of tie University
of Tennessee.
-. The-repeal Of Chapter ll3 of
the Acts of 1921 creating the State
Tax Commission and State Board
of Equalizers. Thislaw is.undem-
ocratic, because it is a ceEtraliza-
ton of power and takes from the
people the right to elect their own
officers and control their own ef-
fairs.
"5. We favor the improvement
of the primary or elementary
schools of the State, and favor the
county high schools as maintained
at present. but we are opposed to
the expenditure of nearly 40 per
cent of the gross school fund of the
State for the maintainance of five
normal schools, because the masses
derive but little, if any benefit
from them, and they are but places
for favored few at high salaries.
"6. We believe that good roads
are the best asset Of community,
and therefore, favor the maintain
ance of the highway department

class room equipment, where they
meet and are directed by Claud Me
Daniels, wire chief Of the local tele-
phone company, who has had con-
siderable experience In the work, and
whose interest in the lads led him TO
take up the work after they had
made an appeal 20 him for assistance,
and the only compensation he Is ask

A Cash Proposition

For several months past, this store has been SELL
ing merchandise on credit basis. 1t has been
very unsatisfactory to us On January st, 1922,
everything was changed to cash basis. By do
ing this we are enabled to sell our merchandise at
closer prices, thus enabling you to save money by
paving cash. We cannot and will not make any
more charge tickets, please do not ask us to do so.
Also, any merchandise going out on approval
must be paid for and the money will be refunded
when the article is retuned-prouded it is re-
turned not later than one day from the time tax
en- out The approval ticket is also unsatsfac-
tory. In many instances an article is taken out
and not returned for two weeks That causes
sales to be lost on that article-thus, we have
adopted the plan.
New Merchandise will begin arriving very
soon and you Will be assured Of the very latest
styles and materials at the lowest prices
