tire Mississippi Valley and the Gulf ports. The 

 Tennessee is navigable for small vessels from 

 Knoxville to the Ohio River, and the Cumber- 

 land is open to traffic about 500 miles. The 

 latter river is the chief highway for the trans- 

 portation of coal, and improvements are being 

 made by the government which will make it 

 navigable ten months of the year. Memphis, 

 Chattanooga and Knoxville are ports of entry. 



There are over 4,000 miles of steam roads 

 and about 500 miles of electric railway in the 

 state. The most important lines are the Nash- 

 ville, Chattanooga & Saint Louis, the Louisville 

 & Nashville, the Illinois Central, the Southern 

 and the Tennessee Central. 



In 1915 a state highway department was cre- 

 ated, which is maintained by one-tenth of the 

 annual motor-vehicle tax. 



Government and History 



Government. The third and present consti-

 matters has been unsuccessful. The question 

 of calling a convention for its revision is to be

The legislative power is vested in an assem-

 ninety-nine members and a senate of thirty-

 election to either house. The assembly meets 

 biennially; the regular sessions are limited to 

 seventy-five days and special sessions to twenty 

 days. 



The executive department consists of the 

 governor, elected for two years; the secretary 

 of state, comptroller and treasurer, elected by 

 the legislature; the attorney-general, appointed
