WHY THE INCREASE IN STATE TAXES

gressive people, and they have evident
ly been willing that the Legislatures
should increase the appropriations for
the State educational institutions, and
State highways, and the other pur-
poses enumerated above. feeling that
the best is none too good for them
selves and the coming generation that
Is being educated at State expense.
That this statement is true, is evil
denced by the fact that, in spite of
well-known advances in expenditures
previously, THE PEOPLE THEM
SELVES IN 1920 VOTED, BY OVER
WHELMING MAJO}lITIES, FOR AN
INCREASE OF ONE MILL IN THE
LEVY FOR THE EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS, AS WELL AS $780,
900 OUTRIGHT FOR A PSYCHIC
PATHIC HOSPITAL. AND $5,000.000
IN BONDS FOR CONSTRUCTING

From the above statements 1t is not
difficult to account for the raise of Che
mill levy for 1921 from S.47 to 435 mills,
which is an increase of .SS of a mill.

In view of the fact that the taxpay-
ers of the state are asking for the rea-
son for the large increase In state
taxes during the past six years, as
they have a right to do, an analysis
and comparison of the mill levies for
the years 1915 and 1920 has been made
by the state budget department, which
discloses the following facts:
The mill levy for 1915 was 2.10 mills,
which, on an assessed valuation of
81 ,249. 1893, ,2l0, produced a revenue of
81, 623. .319.34.
The mill levy for 1920 was BAT mills,
which, on an assessed valuation of ST.
$50, ,267 ,667, produced a revenue of $5,-
51S.22S.S0.
This is an increase for the six years
of $2,s94, ,910.46, or more than 100 per
cent.

HON. LESLIE N. SHAW
MAKES SPLENDID TALK
Court House Crowded to More Than
Seating Capacity; Spoke for
Hour and a Half

The address of Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw,
who was secretary of treasury under
Roosevelt, here Friday, was generally
admitted to be the most able political
address ever heard in Crossville.
He talked for an hour and a hall
and practically all his audience that
more than filled the seating capacity
of the circuit court room, remained to
the last. In the audience there was
a generous sprinkling of democrats.
His talk at no time was bitter or
intensely partisan. The only statement
he made that might be called severe
was when on three occasions he made
the Hat statement that National Chair
man Cordell Hull had made statements
that were not true and that Mr.. Hull
knew the statements were not true
when he made hem.
Mr.. Shaw showed concluSively that
protective tariff is just what it
purportS to be in that it protects
American industries from the pauper
labor products4of Europe and enable
American factories to operate all the
time, thereby furnishing a steady
wage for American laborcrs ana e.-
able our people to buy more heavily
than any nation in the world, thus
about a continuous era of
prosperity such as no other nation
enjoys He showed by facts and fig
ures that more revenue comes to the
under a protective tariff
than under the low tariff for revenue
of the Democratic party, while bring
ing greater prosperity to the country.
He showed instances where southern
senator's and congressman voted for
the protective tariff on southern pro-
ducts and Immediately voted against
similar protection of articles produced
in the northern and eastern states. He
stated that the time is rapidly draw
ing near when southern senators and
will be forced to vote
fors more and more proteetive rates
because Of the great enlargement Of
throughout the south.
He was escorted from the Taylor
house to the court house by delega-
ton of leading republicans of the
county. He went from here to Water
Town where he spoke Saturday.
