THE STATE DEBT.
In an interview in Memphis re
cently Governor McMillin said:
"This last legislature 1ms been a
great one in every sense, of the
word,.. l Tjras a bnsiuess legisla
ture, and sex.e. to Uavo tho good
o tho State at heart. It yfss a pa
triotic legislature, and its every
action was for the public good.
The appropriations it made were
less than those of any preceeding
legislature, yet they were not made
with a niggardly spirit or with a
pinchback policy. They were made
with a liberal and yet with a busi
ness spirit. The legislature was
an economical legislature in the
broadest and best sense that the
word economy could be used.
. "Here is something that I haven't
said before, and which I now say
with a great deal of pleasure: We
will be able to meet the State debt
as it falls due, and. I want to assure
the peopb- of; Tennessee that they
need never f mul another bond.
"This means, that the State is
getting on a selfsupporting basis.
Its revenues are sufficient to meet
all exigences and liquidation its go
ing on. From now on taxes will
decrease. Of course they will not
drop so as to be appreciable, as the
State is now the most economically
governed and conducted common
wealth on this continent.
rnio ia rrrrA nan'O T lrnrTtr n rwl
it means the beginning of a new
and grander epoch for our State."

STATE KKVKNCE LAWS.
The editor of the Fairfax (Mo.)
Forum makes the following an
nouncement: "The editor of this
paper has been nominated by the
Democrats of this township for
justice of the peace. The nomina
tion was not sought after by us,
neither was it forced upon us.
There's no mistaking our qualifi
cations we know about as much
law' as a brass monkey. But our
friends said they were looking for
some good, honest man to make the
race.. In the face of such an indi
rect cosaplimeat,. how could we re
fuse? ' In a race for office we would
be a monumental fizzle. We would
not ask a man to vote for us if he'd
give us a half a dollar. Our oppo
nent is M. L. Blair. He's an hon
est man, too, but he's well fixed
financially and don't need the 81
or 85 a year that's in the office.
Neither of us will make an active
canvass for votes, so you fellows
who expect to smoke our cigar
drink our whisky and have fun at
our expense will get left."

State Comptroller King is of the opin
ion that he will collect as much revenue
under the new act as under that of lS'JO,
notwithstanding the large number of
towns surrendering their charters and re
incorporating with the consequent loss of
revenue from the driving out of saloons.
lie is at work on the tax digest and
hopes to have it printed within a few
weeks. There are not many changes
from the law of 1890. and in only one or
two instances are the taxes put so higl
as to be prohibitive. There will be some
loss in revenue from the whisky tax, be
cause of the number of towns that sur
render their charters and re-incorporated
under the acts of 1899.
The following; are the changes in the
new law :
Dealers in eewing machines Each
company, firm or corporation selling
sewing machines in this State through
agents and upon every w holesale or retail
dealer in sewing machines in this Slate,,
either as local agent3 or as part of their
merchandise stock, unless the manufact
urer of such sewing machines so sold by
tiuch merchant has paid the tax hereby
imposed, shall each pay to the comptroll
er, per annum $200. In addition to this
tax the person, firm or corporation shall
pay to the comptroller $5 for each agent
which it employs in the sale of its ma
chines within this State. The comptroll
er has received checks of $200 each from
the White Sewing Machine company, of
Cleveland, Ohio, and from the Davis Sew
ing Machine company, of Dayton, Ohio.
The latter company paid the tax under
protest on the grounds that it was shure
that the law w as in direct violation of the
constitution of the United States, and has
been done away with by other States of
the union.
Brokers The tax on these firms has
been cut half in two. In towns above
50,000 inhabitants it is $50; in towns from
20,000 to 30,000 is 40; in towns of less
than 20,000 it is $25, and in villages or
counties outside of cities, towns or taxing
districts it is $25.
Bill posters The tax on these was rais
ed. In cities over 35.000 inhabitants it
is $50; in towns from 7,000 to 35,000 it is
$30 ; and in towns from 2,000 to 7,000 it is
$10.
Check rooms These are now taxed for
the firbt time. The tax is as follows:
When the charge for the keep or deposit
of any article is at a rate of 10 cents or
more, for every 24 hours or fraction there
of, each, per annum, $20 ; when the charge
is less, thin, 10 cents, the tax is $10 per
annum.
On petrole-sira products Coal oil, illu
minating or lubricating c4l cr petroleum
products. The old law on tlua iaa.de
firms or corporations pay a merchants'
license. The new law reads as follows:
"Each and every person, firm, partner
ship, corporation or local agent having
oil depots, storage tanks or warehouses
for the purpose of selling, delivering or
distributing oils of any description, and
each and every person, firm, partnership,
corporation or local agent using a railroad
car or railroad depot for puch purpose,
shall pay a privilege tax as fallows: In
cities over 30,000 inhabitants, or in terri
tory within five mill- f mi h city, $L'o0 ;
in riiii'M from 10 ()') to 30, (XM) iiilml.i'aiit,
f 75 ; in nil" from 5, INK) t 10,000 inli.ibi
taiitn, $o5 ; in ciln h from 2, CO 5 000 in-
aliilants, 50 ; in tow ns of lrns than 2,000
inhabitants, $25. Thin htiall nt npply
to merchants keening oils fiir sale and
tiiying a gcm'ial merchant's taw"
Unwittingly Ihe general assembly gave
thf Standard Oil Company a monopoly in
Ibis business, for this tax practically
hlui! out tliiHlnal!er manufacturer from
competing with the trust.
Theaters The tax on these remains
the same, but the theaters are reijuiied
to take out licence for the year instead of
quarterly. The tax on dealers in theater
tickets is placed at $1 000 for each per
foimnnee instead of $15 per annum.
This makef dealing in tickets prohibitive.
Futures Tho tax on these dealers was
raised. In citief of over 30 000 inhabi
tants the tax is? 100 per annum. In cities
from 20,000 to 30,000 inhabitants it is
$.".00, and in cities of less than 20 000 in
habitants it is $200. '1 lie tax of $2,00 on
what is known as bucket shops was omit
ted from the bill.
l'lumbers and gas fitters are taxed lor
the first time. The tax is as follows : In
cities of over 35 000 inhabitants, $20; in
cities of from 10.000 to 35,000 inhabitants,
$15; in cities of from 5,000 to 10,000 in
habitants, $10 ; and in towns under 5,000
inhabitants, $5.
Ranges and Clocks Dealers in these
are taxed for the first time. The tax is
as follows: In counties of over 35 000
inhabitants, $25; in counties of from 20
000 to 35,000 inhabitants, $20; in counties
of less than 20.000 inhabitants, $15.
Water companies The tax on the com
t-.. mi- i -ii
(.unie.-s in ivnoxvnie ana unattaiioo g,i is
raised from $3,00 to $100 per annum.
Telephones The old rate was CO and
40 cents. The new law grades the tax as
follows: In counties of over 50 OOOinhab
itants, each box, 50 cents; in counties of
from 30,000 to 50,000 inhabitants, eacl
box 35 cents; in counties of less than 30,
000 inhabitants, each box, 20cents, Mu
tual co-operative companies not run for
profit are not liable for this tax. The
comptroller estimates that he w ill get at
least $1,000 more revenue out of these
companies by this law than he did during
the last two years.
Telegraph companies The tax cn com
panies having from 25 to 100 miles of
wiie is raised from fifteen to two hundred
dollars per annum. The other taxes re
main unchanged.
Electric light companies The new law
imposes a tax on the graduated system in
all cities except Memphis which pays a
tax seven hundred and fifty dollars, which
is two hundred and fifty dollars more than
was paid by the company there dining
the past two years. This tax prohibits
the smaller manufacturer in that city from
selling lights.
With the exception noted above, the
law is as follows: In cities of from 50,
000 to 100,000 inhabitants, 10,000 lights
and oyer, five hundred dollars; 7,500 to
10,000 lights, one hundred dollars; 5 000
to 7,500 lights, seventy live dollars ; 2,500
to 5,000 lights, fifty dollars; under 2.500
lights, twenty dollars. In, cities of from
10,000. to 20,000 inhabitants, ?,500. lights
and over, one hundred and fifty dollars;
under 2,;00 lights, twenty dollars. For
plants of any capacity in cities of 4,000 to
10,500 inhabitants, seventy five dollars ;
3,000 to 4,000 inhabitants, forty dollars;
2,000 to3,000 inhabitants, twenty dollars ;
under 2,000 inhabitants, ten dollars.
Feather renovators The tax on these
was made prohibitive and fixed at two
hundred and fifty dollars for each county.
