notice TO AUTOMOBILE
OWNERS, TRUCKS, ETC.

! Please take notice that the State
law of Tennessee requires each and
every owner of Automobiles, Trucks
or Motor driven vehicles to call at
the County Court Clerks office and
procure number plate for said Au-
tomobile, Truck or Motor driven
Vehicle on the First Day of January
of each year, and it is made the
duty Of the County Court Clerk to
issue Distress Warrants for each and
every automobile that has not been
supplied with such numbers as the
law directs. This law further pro-
vides that the various Grand Jurors
have inpuisitorial power as to the
enforcement of this law and the var
ious Circuit Judges are required to
give this law in charge to said jul
rOrs..
I hope that each person who has
not procured his numbers will come
forward and procure same without
being put to extra cost as it has
been my purpose since serving as
County Court Clerk to save harm
less ever tax payer all extra cost;
however it must be remembered
that each and every tax payer must
be treated with the same degree of
fairness and all must pay this tax.
1t has been reported to me that
some parties have procured number
plates for Trucks, Automobiles, etc.
and have then split them up and |
plared one of said numbers on some
other car, which is violation of |
law and subjects the one so doing
to fine of $500 to $4,000. So
please take no;ice.and protect your
self by procuring your numbers as
the law directs, as the time has long
since past and you can't complain
hat you are being unduly pushed
)ver this matter.
Yours Respectfully,
S. H. JESTES, Clerk.

At least II of them are candidates,
waging vigorous campaigns to sit as
Members in the National House of
Representatives. They are trying to
break into both Houses from East,
West, North and South; so the Hon
Alice Robertson, Member congress
from the End District of Oklahoma,
the lone woman in the House,
and familiarly known here as Miss
Alice 'may have company in the
next House, if she is fortunate
enough to be returned herself. She
has big fight on her hands, partic-
ularly among the women. She voted
against the Soldiers Bonus bill, the
anti-lynching bill, the maternity bill
thus bringing down upon her head
the ire of certain lobbyists here and
certain interests elsewhere, but she
says she is "a winter.
But whether Miss Alice" is re
elected or note, there is likely to be
one or more women in the next
House. There is Mrs. Annette
Adams, a cadidate for seat in the
next House, from California; Mrs.
Leila S. Edmundson, from Alabama;
Mrs. Irene c. Buell., from Nebraska;
Mrs w. A. Cullopp, from Indiana;
Mrs. T. T. Cotman, from Arkansas;
and Mrs. Winifred N. Huck. Mrs.
Huck has already won the Repub-
lean nomination for representive-
t-large, in Illinois to fill the va

ather, William E. Mason. Besides,
here are a number of women candi-

me of them be elected, another

BABAHATCHIE CLUB FOR
MORGAN COUNTY.

Mr.. C. D. Wiley of Knoxville, a
former citizen of Morgan County,
together with his associates are or
ganizing Club with it's home in
Morgan County. The purpose of
the organization is to provide a
pleasure resort for the members and
to preierve the hunting and fishing
of this section of the country. They
now have a membership of more
than $50 members and expect to
have more than 200 out of the coun-
ty members. 1t is their earnest de-
sire to prevent the ruthless destruc-
ton Of the fish and game by unlaw,
full means and to preserve the puri-
ty of the streams and the beauty of
the forests. The members are all
high toned gentlemen, who are real
sportsmen. If the organization and
management of this proposition is
successful it means much to our
county in many ways, in that it
will bring to OUR midst strangers
who for the first time will see the
beauty and granduer of our natural
scenery and will be the means of
much investment by the outside
parties Our people should lend
every encouragement to this enter
prise. The Club desires the co oper-
alton of our citizens in order to
make the matter a success which
means much to Our section of the
country. Citizens of the county are
requested to associate themselves
with the club in order to better en-
able it to be of service to the people
of the county.
1t is not the desire or purpose of
this Club to interfere with any of
the personal rights of the citizens of
this county or invade their property
upon hunting or fishing excursions
but rather to protect the citizens in
heir right and to prevent unlawful
destruction Of the fish and game.

In Enactment of Par.
nicious Law.

Mr.. Austin Peay, Democratic nomi.
nee for Governor, in his speeches dur.
ing the primary campaign and in his
speech at Murfreesboro opening his
campaign, had much to say about re-
forms in taxation laws of the State
about how he would, If elected Gov
ernor, save millions to the taxpayers,
md would eliminate the pernicious
back tax system.
Mr.. Peay neglected to say, how
ever, and he will continue to neglect
20 say in any of his speeches during
his campaign, anything about his
record as a member of the Legisla-
.urt at the time the most pernicious
oack tax law in the history of the
State was enacted by a Democratic
Legislature. He was the leading
,pirit in the enactment of House Bill
No. 155, Acts of 1908, and was a
member of the Finance, Ways and
Means Committee, and led in the fight
Tor its passage on the floor of the
Iouse, as is of record in the House
Journal of that General Assembly.

DEMOCRATIC PRAISE FOR TAY.
LOR.

No man who has ever been Gov
ernor of Tennessee has had greater
responsibilities and has met them
more fearlessly than Governor Tay-
lor. It has been his desire to exer-
else clemency wherever It was posi-
bic and this he has done where the
facts in the records would justify
him in doing so. commenting on
Governor Taylor's determination to
uphold the laws in the State, the
Memphis News-Scimitar, one Of the
leading and most influential Demo
cratic newspapers in the State, has
this to say: ain cases where muir
ders were brutal and unprovoked,
wherein the vindication Of the Law
demanded the extreme penalty, Gov
ernor Taylor has steadfastly refrained
from yielding to his naturally SYM
pathetic impulses, and has permitted
the law to take It's course. The
State has vastly benefited by his con-
duet In these matters. His action has
been a triumph for law and order
He has contributed toward the re
eet for law and justified public
confidence In bis ability TO revive
the ancient regard for justice and

titled to. The order is as follows:
Investigation Begun.
"At a meeting of the TENNESSEE
Railroad and Public Utilities Com
mission, held on Monday, August Z
1929, Commissioner W. N. Beasle,
made a motion that an investigation
of the condition Of all public utilities
in Tennessee be made Immediately
said investigation to be made with
the view of decreasing the rates OF
all power plants, gas, electric light
and street railway companies. SaIe
Investigation to be made as speedily
as possible"
This order is now on the minutes
of the Commission and is q part OF
its public record, and under this order
Investigations over the State are be-
ing made that will result in vast
benefits to the people of Tennessee
and these investigations will soon be
completed.
I am aware Of the fact that some
opposition has arisen in the State to
the Utilities Commission, and ] am
inclined to the opinion that this sen.
timent or opposition has been brought
about by the fact that a great many
people feel that, perhaps, the Com
mission has been derelict in It's duty
and has failed to give to the public
the relief to which the public feels
they are entitled. But after. all, If
these are the facts, the trouble is not
with the law creating the commission
or the rules regulating it, but with
the Commissioners, who perhaps have
failed to catch the vision and who
have failed to look after all interests
as fully as they should. The interest
Of the public must be conserved and
I elected to this position / shall
always be found at my post Of duty
looking to the best interest Of all
parties concerned.
Since l have been a member Of the
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1922-10-06

Commission many matters have come
before it and each and every one
as received my careful study and
an honest consideration, and / pledge
the people here and now that so long
as l am member Of this Commission
that my every act shall be to give
to all, regardless Of position, wealth
or power, a fair consideration and q
square deal, disposing Of no question
coming before the commission with
out first giving same a complete In
vestigation.
For more than fifteen years I have
been actively engaged in the practice
of law and feel that my long expe
rience in this line fits me for the posi-
ton am seeking at your hands. In
this position the knowledge Of Law
plays q prominent part, and to fully
measure up to the standard and to
protect the interest Of all, the Com
missioners must study the law and
must know the law, or the interest Of
the public and all concerned mus,
Of necessity be jeopardized.
My opponent, the Hon. Porter
Dunlap, made his announcement fol
this honorable position on the frs,
day Of last January in the Nashville
Tennsssean, and / wish that every
nan and woman in Tennessee who
has not read his announcement nigh
read 1t. In his announcement h
uses about six columns Of valuable
space in the Tennessean, but nevel
mentions the Commission except il
the last short paragraph, and Their
says, 81 am a candidate for Railroad

Hull is q candidate for Congress In

EIGHT PER CENT LAW MUST BE
REPEALED
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:

ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
l am returning House Bill No. 800
without my approval.
l have listened to very strong argu-
ments in favor Of the passage of this
law, but after the most careful con-
sideration Of them l have come to
the deliberate conclusion that can
not place my signature to this Bill.
We are living under conditions and
circumstances, much Of which is an
incident Of war, that will not warrant
and Justify measures which will re-
suit in a further increase Of the al
ready heavy burdens which rest upon
the great body Of our people.
The farmers, the young and strug-
Cling home builders, and the great
multitude Of small business men are
now being forced to borrow money to
pay their taxes. Punched as they are
for ready cash, they are compelled to
draw out their Liberty Bonds which
patriotism induced them to buy at
sacrifice and pay 100 cents upon the
dollar therefor, but when they take
these Liberty Bonds to the market
places they are only given from So to
80 cents, and sometimes not that
much. Under the law as 1t now ex-
lists the borrower in most instances Is
forced to pay at the rate Of s per cent,
such 8 per cent being procured by
showing 6 per cent on the face Of the
note and 2 per cent being procured in
payment for the privilege Of securing
the loan. II this Bill passes, the 6 per
cent rate will be forever chloroformed
and the borrower will be forced to pay
10 per cent through the same cir
cuitous route by which he is now COM
PEELED to pay 8 per cent. Land notes,
fertilizer notes, machinery notes and
various other kinds Of notes viii al
most automatically 90 up to 8 per
cent. II is paradoxical to argue that
this increased rate viii help the bor-
rowr while it at the same time takes
more money away from him.
| have no criticisms against the
great banking institutions Of our
State. But have they not all grown
and prospered under the present law
and have they not all paid healthy
dividends under the present law?

Mr.. PEAY AND BACK TAX SYSTEM

assessed at $40, 900, so that each tax
payer was paying his proper share,
yet under the Peay back tax bill, the
revenue agent could have picked out
either one of the farms and back-as-
sessed it for $4,000 and imposed q
penalty Of Is per cent, leaving the
other farm alone. It opened to the
back tax attorney a field for his ac-
tivity which included every piece of
property in the State and it provided
for Is per cent penalty on top of
the tax. The property of the State at
that time was assessed at about three
hundred and fifty million dollars and
was worth about one billion. This
Peay back tax act, therefore, SUBJ
jected about six hundred million dol
lars worth of property in the State
20 back assessment and provided for
a penalty Of 10 per cent.
The evils that grew up under this
act were so outrageous and the prac-
tees were so corrupt that it resulted
in a very bitter contest between Gov
ernor Patterson and Governor Cox in
1906. The reform of the back tax
system established through the ac-
sivities of Mr.. Peay became the issue
in the campaign. The act of 1907
passed under Governor Patterson's
administration removed many of the
bnoxious features of the Act of 1908,
and it has been improved from time
to time since, so that now under the
present system, as bad as it is, you
an only back-assess real estate in two
cases. First, where it has entirely
escaped taxation, and second, where
it has been inadequately assessed by
reason Of the fraud or connivance of
the tax debtor.
Under the Peay act all you had to
do was to prove the assessment
againt piece Of real estate and to
prove its value and back-assess it for
the difference. This, Of course, in
cluded every piece Of property in the
State because it was assessed at less
than its value. Under the present act
you have to either prove that the
was not assessed at all or
TO prove that it was inadequately as
;essed by reason of fraud. To be in
adequately assessed the property
must be assessed on a lower basis
han other property. The present
back tax system with all of its iniqui-
ties is an angel Of mercy compared
with this demon Of oppression for
which Austin Peay voted in 1908.
