State Taxes.

We are publishing this week a re-
port, taken from the Nashville Ban
ner, with editorial comments there
on, showing the operation of the tax
laws under the sliding scale system,
the general increase in State
tax from 1916 to 1922. and the
real cause of such increase. This re-
port was prepared for the Nashville
Banner and it is an exact copy of the
records in the State tax Department,
in a general summary form.
You will observe that the State
property tax collected for 1916
amounted to $2,45O,OOO. The State
property tax was raised from that
amount to $6,O37,5OO for 1921. Now,
politicians who fought the cash val
uation system and the sliding scale
charged practically all this increase
up to that system. In order to set
matters in their true light, State

the State government were increased
from 1916 to 1921 as follows: UNI
versity of Tennessee, $S62,500;
State Highway Department, $S62,-
500; elementary schools, 1880
300; State Tax Department, $4S2,-
500. The total of these items of in
creased State taxes from 1916 to
1921 is $3,5S7,50O, and the State
FAX Department got the censure for
he whole business. The fact is that
he Legislature was responsible for
I'll these increases, and the increase
or the State Tax Department was
My $482,5OO.
This year there will be another in
rease in the State taxes of $4,000

The Commercial would like to sug-

The Commercial would like to sug-
gest that the Democratic Executive
Committee of Obion County call a
meeting within a reasonable length
of time to consider. among other
things a mass meeting of the Demo-
Gratis of the county for the purpose or
discussing and getting an expression
of the people on the subject of State
legislation and giving the candidates
for the Legislature an opportunity to
express themselves on the issues be-
fore the people. Seems to us the
time is particularly ripe to take up
public discussion of these matters in
view of the fact that tax increases
and appropriations are giving the
people of the State much concern.
Coincident with this suggestion you
will notice a statement Of Tennessee
State taxes reported from the Nash
vile Banner in the columns of this
paper. This will show for Itself how
the State is spending its revenues and
what for, also the operation of the |
sliding scale. On this subject The |
Commercial is authorized to state
that the Tax Department reports the
Obion County rate the lowest of any
county in the State, being ten per
cent lower than the next county i'm
above it and being a little
more than one-fourth as much as the
rate in the county having the highest
rate. The committee may have this
suggestion for approval if it is
thought to be of importance.

candidate to talk clap-trap about in
creased assessments. The voters of
Tennessee should hold candidates
square to the issue and make them
declare themselves unequivocally on
these questions. The facts given
above prove beyond question that the
assessment of property at it's actual
cash value has been responsible only
for an inconsequential part of the
increase in State taxes and that the
material increases which have been
imposed since 1916 are directly
traceable to legislation providing for
highway construction, for the main
tenance of the State university and
for the betterment of rural schools.
The truth is that if the Legislature
had not made levy for State high
way purposes and for rural school
purposes and for the maintenance of
the State university, the slight in
crease of taxes due to the increased
of property and the ap-
plication of the sliding scale of rates
thereto, would never have been no
ticed by the taxpayer
In addition to this increase in |
State revenue there has been very |
substantial increase in county taxes
as well as municipal taxes voluntari-
ly fixed by the various county courts
in fixing their rates without restraint
Dr. compulsion on the part of the
State Government. The entire re-
'ponsibility for these increases rests
Upon the county courts and the mu-
licipal governing bodies.-Nashville

More of the Same

Herbert Hoover has turned out to
Making himself popular during the
war he has since that time been on
the toboggan. He has dropped out
like rotten tooth premature with
decay.
Not satisfied that the Government
has been hogged for billions in all
sorts of war claims by manufacturing
and building contractors, shipping
boards, railroad ompanies-particu
larly the railroads in penalizing the
Government for State control during
the war to the song of billions, now
comes the blessed Hoover proposing
another extension to the railroads CT
two billions for equipment, etc.
Ye Gods! why is it that the race
of statesmen, or those who are hold
ing places of state, are all busy try
ing to bankrupt the Government
How in the Sam Hill have all these
combinations managed to dope every
mothers son of an executive officer
or member of Congress? No wonder
the soldier bonus is making towards
of them all and the friends of the
bonus are disguised.
1t does look like this old fossilized
Government of ours would wake up
and put on the brakes. But it is said
to be very hard to cure dope fiends.
Can't you see, men, that the sub
sides and bonuses you are doing out
will kick back For heavens sake,
why can't you stop for while until
we catch up.
But if you are itching to spend the
money and just can't hold yourselves,
why not try developing the peoples
property-the public highways. Don't
you know that the motor cars and
trucks are now ready to start, and
thousands more when they are need
ed. Turn just fraction of the money
you are squandering on political Jobs
to the public highways and these |
motor truck owners will see that the |
crops are moved and that the trans
portation problems are reduced %
a simple and practical basis. No, you
muckle headed rams; you will keep
on ignoring the good that you might
do to patronize some huge financial
interest and pocket the graft, and
then you'll go home to the dear
voters and talk about democracy.
Amt it sin?
The average department head and
legislator can't see ten inches in
front of his nose. No wonder we are
cropping in distrust and communistic
evils.
Hoover began with the proposition
that the Department of Commerce be
two hundred millions for
promotion and he would guarantee
wonders. The wonder machine has {
been running with fat tire. Two
billions more and he'll finish the
farmer and taxpayer completely and +
.here'll be no need for railroad eouip-
nent or anything else for long

SOUTH OAKOTA's BIRTHDAY

old. \ man ar that age is approaching

Dakota has its greatest achievements

Nov. ., 1859, when President Harrison
issued a proclamation bringing South
Dakota into the union. 1t doesn't seem
so very long ago, and yet a second
generation is growing NJ whose
achievements will be greater than that
which preceded them.
South Dakota has just begun TO 90.
Much Of its agricultural resources are
undeyeloped. Its coal lies idle and un-
used. Its w~a,erpower some day will
turn the wheels q industry. By the

seem that NJ. Tardieu may have been

Also the Turkish national soldiers

SOUTH BUILDING ROADS

the surest foundation for future de

North Carolina has voted SIS. 900, 900,
Alabama $1,000, 600. South Carolina
is trying TO get through an expenditure
Of $4,000, 900 for road work.
Florida tackled the job by counties.
Hillsboro county voted $4,000, 900. Du-
val county voted $4,000. 900, and now
enterprising business men are asking
$4,000. 900 to build roads and link up
the county system.
Tennessee is voting on a SIS, 900, 900
bond issue, and has spent $3.50, 900 in
the last few months.
Georgia increased its funds $3.50, 600.
Kentucky has contracts estimated at

ELECTION RETURNS SLOW

Returns in South Dakota continue
to come in very slowly with indica-
tons that no changes would be made
in the status of the various candidates.
All republican candidates for higher
state offices apparently are main
tanning safe leads over their opponents.
Miss Alice Lorraine Daily, nonpar-
tisan league candidate for governor
OF South Dakota, was close on the
heels Of Louis n. Grill, democrat, in
the race for second place, according
to returns available at noon today.
Governor w. II. McMaster, republican,
was safely in the lead with a present
plurality of 10000 votes.
Nagrant returns from the state con-
tinued to drift in leisurely, indicating
lack of interest which was to politi-
clans appalling. Even election judges
and ballot counters apparently were
doing their work without interest and
no returns were available on other
than congressional and g~ubernatorial
candidates.
The one race remaining in doubt
was in the third congressional district,
where Congressman Williamson con-
tinued to fall behind and forge ahead
Of George Phillips, his democrat oppo-
tent. Today's early returns gave Will
hanson a lead of nearly 500 votes
over Phillips but as these returns
came from Lawrence county, William
sons stronghold, and Pennington
county, Phillips stronghold, was UNI
heard from, it was not taken as a re-
liable indication.
