The budget commission has recom
mended cut 8 in the appropriation bill
amounting to over $3,000,000 as com
pared with last year, but even this
will not bring the promised relief to
the overburdened taxpayers for the I
reason that the State’s estimate^ in
come has likewise been reduced. It
will require the same rate of taxa
tion to raise the six and a half million
dollars recommended by the budget
commission.

;! Nobody’s Business
The Way Out.
It won’t be long now—till the
government will own all of cur farm
lands, as taxes must be pairl, an ( j as
we have no money, we * must pay
them with land.
; My home county i? a fair sample
of the country at large in respect to
land values. Real good land can be
bought for less than the assessed
value, viz: $12.00 per acre, but in
in paying off our government em
ployees in land, we will value it at
$12.00 per acre.
— A a good school teacher' can be paid
100 acie s per year, while a college
professor will receive 300 acres for
9 months of hard work. An average
sheriff will get 400 acres for his day
and night prowling, while a nice high
way patrolman must make up hTs
mind to accept only 350 acre s f.r his
riding to and fro, seeking whom he
might devour.
Our congressmen will each re
ceive 1,000 acres and our senators will
have to wobble along with only 1,250
acres for' doing what they call work
for 4 or 5 or 6 months. A retired
army officer must be satisfied with
1,300 acres for his year' of loafing.
An ex-soldier, World War, with a
$57.50 income a month will be given
60 acres of land in lieu of the present
treasury check.
_^)ur governors will get 750 acres
per'year and so will most of oug'state
officers. If Uncle Sam take?*, over
the railroads, he will have to pay
some of the R. R. presidents 9,785
acres per year, but every 50 acres
must have a 50-thousand dollar dwel
ling thereon. A prohibition officer
will accept a deed for 30 acres per
month, including the stills anso-
forth located thereon.

different kind of chrismusses to what
we have now. noboddy thought of
trying to be happy without, at least
a gallon of corn or rye, and we had
egg nogs and linger stew ansoforth
our younguns always got horns and
mouth-organs which they blowed f~r
rever and devver, till they wore out
the next day.
—onner count of the depression, a
great manny of oui boys and girls
were not able to get holt of a stock
ing to hang up, so they set a chair
where old sandy claws could Jeave an-
nything that he had to spare, which*
wa s not so hot from what i can hear,
but some of them got apples.
By hard work, a -fanner can pos
sibly pay for 3 acres of land in 12
months. Many good farmers have
worked a life-time to pay for 250
. acres, equal to the present salary paid
to some minor county officei for a
year's enjoyment of his office. If we
pay our government employees, in
cluding our R. F. D. carriers who
will get 20 acres per month, we will
have enough land in the United States
to pay every darn one of them in full
for nearly 6 years and then our lands
will be gone.
Christmas Tidings From Flat Rock.
well, friends, old sandy claws was
verry kind to me. he brought me
a nice electrick iron and a set of hair
curlers, and he brought my wife a
fine overcoat that seems to fit me,
and allso some sox, so we traded
presents as soon as he got out of
sight.
i will be glad to tell old 19 and 32
good-bye. she hassent benn pie to
manny of us, and we will feel better
when we start off in a new. i diddent
lose anything in stocks and bonds,
but my cow went from 75$ on foot to
15$ at the market when her moitgage
come due—all of which took place in
only a year or so.
my boss and beef waggin was
rated at 200$ in 19 and 29, but now
if i waster turn them out in the big
read, noboddy woulddent think en
ough of them to drive them home for
their board, my cotton wassent worth
picking and my veggertables rotted
while i was a-hauling them from place
to place hunting someboddy with a
dime, menney is almost out of suck-
eriation in our community.
—but i newer give up the ship.
necessary adjunct to business in the
woild, but* their rates and debit
schemes are so vexations and expen
sive, it seems that lots of folks who
are able to pay for telepht ne s are hav
ing them taken out and are thus boy
cotting the company. The telephony
folks think that the depression is the
cause of their loss cf phones.
i have my health, except dyspepsy
and the highblood pressure, and my
wife is o. k.; too, except she—can’t
bend over the wash tub a^ of old on-
ner count of her rommy-tism, but
we are happy, and we want to say,
thank you, old sandy claws; come
again next year.
yores trulie,
mike Clark, rfd.
I am not familiar with all tele
phone charges, but if you have a
phone put in your hause, you have to
pay for having it installed—as if you
could talk at all without buying it
installed, but that ain’t but about 3
dollars, ^atei on, if you want
moved to a new* location inches,
more or less, fiom its original ■loca
tion, you must cough up from 1 to 3
dollars.
...If you call Bill Jones and you
don’t get him in a reasonable time,
they charge 10 cents for reporting
something you already know—just
like you’d So to, the post office and
ask fer your mail and the cleik said,
you ain’t got none, but gimme a
dime.” They charge 1919 rate s to
talk to Bill when he happens to be
at home. Since I ain’t able to pay
for all of these things, I do most of
my telephoning on lucent postal
cards, the only thing untaxed up to
the present writing.
cousin jerry sent me the tie that
i sent him last year, and i was right
g*ad to get it back, i di<j not send
him a present, a s i had done wore
cut the tie he sent me last chrismus,
mo i am ahead after all. we had a
amall fried pullet for dinner today
instead of a big turkey gobbler a s of
«U
yonder in the 90s, we had
Ups and Powns.
Speaking of our present schedule
of telephone rates and miscellaneous
charges for service rendered and not
rendered! did you ever hear of the
old woman and her string of beads?
Well, I have never heard of them
either. ,
-.---Next to wives and automobiles,
toe telephone is the most useful and
-...The public is a peculiar animal.
If a farmer se'.l s his cotton cheap, he
he wants cheap meat. If he gives Kis
wheat away—as he is at present do
ing— he wants cheap cigaiette s and
overalls. If a laborer gets low wages,
he wants low rents, low gas, low
street car fare s and low bread. If a
merchant can make a profit, he
doesn’t want to pay high prices for
his insurance, truck repairs, and elec
tric lights.
Folks don’t understand what it
is that holds many necessities of life
up while other necessities.-that they
grow and make—are not w’orth the
water that it took to produce them.
I ain’t saying that railroads and pow
er plants and telephony rates and a
few other rates are too high—but I
do say that they are so high the
public can’t afford to pay them, and
that’s why they ain’t doing more
business with one another. A s for
me and my house—it smells like I am
on the way back to kerosene lamps, a
well in the back ^’ard, bicycle or
walking* stick, w55u cooking stove,
mule-back freight traffic, eating un
cooked food, unles* my own family
cooks it. and talking thru my hat—in
stead of via telephone. And just think
I uster be lich in this world’s goods.
SMOKY MOUNTAINS
REAL “NOAH’S ARK”
New National Park Contains a
Variety of Animals.
Knoxville, Tenn.—The Great Smoky
mountains, near here, now a national
p;rrk, J»a veritable “Noah’s Ark." con
taining animal life in every form,
abounding in 6<X> miles of streams suf
ficiently large for fishing, on the land,
and in the air.
The Great Smoky mountains faunal
survey, being conducted under the
auspices of the Chicago Academy of
Sciences, in the “Smokies,” as they are
locally known, is revealing animals not
known to exist in the Smokies, un
known because the Smokies have never
been visited by many scientists until
recently, especially because the
Smokies are believed to be the old
est mountains In the world, probably
the birthplace, ages ago. of many varie
ties of animal life native to North
America.
Not only are the Smokies the oldest
mountains but here the Appalachian
range bulks out to its greatest width
and rises to its “highest altitude,” the
main ridge being an average of a mile
high, with Clingman’s Dome rising
6.642 feet above sea level. The
Smokies rise suddenly from the
Tennessee river valley, from a water
level base, of 1,300 feet, to 5,000 and
6,000 feet skyline.
The faunal survey has found ani
mals usually found In all levels from
1,300 feet to 6.000 feet, but there seems
to be three distinct animal life zones
in. the Smokies, the northern, from
6,000 down to 3.000. the eastern from
3,000 to 2,000 and the southern from
2,000 feet down. Especially interest
ing, the faunal survey found was that
animals on the higher reaches of the
Smokies have no relatives nearer than
In Canada, and. as the Smokies were
cut off during the glacial period, the
animals in the Smokies of the same
species as In Canada. Jiave developed
a different form in trfe Smokies. In
fact, their form is so Afferent as to
have really areated different specie*.
