ISSUES OF THE STATE CANVASS.
HOW THE DEMOCRATIc-CoNsERv
PARTY HAS REDEEMED IN PLEDGES.

/ From CLARION, July 30, 1921
4 The tic-Conservative party
has redeemed its pledges to reduce ex-
penses and cut down taxes in our State
Administration. The record proves it.
That this fact which constitutes an un-
answerable argument for keeping the
Democratic party in the ascendant in
this State may be made plain we will
take the last two years of Radical rule
in Mississippi, and compare the items
Of expenditure separately, with the
first four years Of Democratic rule
The figures are a complete vindication
Of the good faith of the Democratic par
ty, and will be gratifying to every per
son who did battle in the grand up
rising for the deliverance Of the State
from misrule:

RADICAL RULE.

RADICAL RULE.
During the last two years of Radical
rule, the State taxes were:
In 1874, "A mills on the dollar s14 81 900
In 1879, 94 mills on the dollar 50 % on. 1000
DEMocRATIC..RUIE
In 1876, = mills on the dollar. So 50 on 81 600
In 1917, mills on the dollar, 50 90 on...- 1000
In 1873, 81 mills on the dollar, So 30 on. 200
This is a reduction in 1878 from the
State taxes Of 1875, the last year of
Radical rule, of s5 70 on the thousand
dollars
Section 108 of the Revenue Act ap-
proved March 5th, 1873, declares:
That the State tag is hereby fixed at 81
mills, including the tax to pay the principal
and interest on bonds; and Boards of Super
visOrs hereby prohibited from levying
taxes which, added to the State tax, would
ceed twelve dollars and fifty cents on each
thousand dollars, provided that to meet some
outstanding Indebtedness, the amount herein
indicated may be exceeded, but in no ease
shall the total tax exceed fifteen dollars on
the thousand.
1t will be borne in mind that the prin-
cipal and interest of the bonds were OBJ
legations created under Radical rule,
and that the county levies under the
rule, were sometimes five hundred per
cent beyond the real necessities of the
county governments. Under existing
laws this abuse has been corrected,
With such record as the foregoing, |
we have too much faith in the patriotism
and intelligence of the people of Missis-
sippi, to believe that they are prepared
to turn the State government over to
The enemies of the Democratic party,
whether they are sailing under the
,olors of open and undisguised Radicals,
'r operating behind masked batteries
Is Independents, Nationals, or Green
packers.

The Presidential canvass next yeaI
will be extremely bitter towards the
South, by the Republican party, on the
one hand, and in favor of equal rights
and Justice to the South, by the Demo
cratic party, on the other. The Nation
al Greenbackers viii not figure in the
canvass at all. Therefore, the people OF
the South, and of Mississippi especially,
should be united. Uhanimity gives
strength, division is a cause of weak
ness. We must go into the canvass
next year with the prestige of entire
victory. 1t depends upon the Demo
crats and Conservatives to say at this
election whether we shall have it.
Therefore let the people of Mississippi
stand steadfast IN the faith.
WE have had so many requests for
the article which appeared in THE
CLARION of July 30th, giving the ex-
penses of the State government under
Radical rule, in comparison with the
Sdtnc IlCllS uuOtI IpCilbCIdItC Iult, Jldl
we reproduce it in this issue. Take
this article with the one showing the
reduction of the State debt, to be found
an another column, and you have the
only issues that properly belong to this
canvass; in which the officers to be
elected, are members Of the Legisla-
ture, and county officials.
The questions before the people are,
can the Democratic Conservative party
be trusted? Should It's accredited rep
resentatives be elected? With such
record as it presents in the facts and |
figures of the articles referred to we un-
hesitatingly say, that the grand party
which redeemed the State can be trust
ed, and that its nominees should be,
as we have no doubt they viii be,
elected.

The Fast Of Alb.

Tomorrow the Hebrew people all
over the world will in some way or
other observe the Fast of Alb, which is
kept in conImemoration OF the destruc.
ton Of the first Temple by Nebuchad.
nezzar. and of the Second Temple of
Titus. There was time when this
fast was marked by great solemnities,
the race prostrating themselves in
sackcloth and ashes as mark of their
grief over the disruption Of their ma
tionality and the widespread dispersion
of their people. In this country, how
ever, as we'll as in those parts of Europe
where Hebrews enjoy liberty, the day
is not SO strictly observed. But where
Yer prescription exists the Fast of Alb
continues TO call forth lamentations, the
Jews depriving themselves of all food
during the day. In Philadelphia the
synagogues will be opened three times
on Tuesday for service, and deyout
Israelities will enter in by the light of
tlickering tapers and in solemn accents
chant the lamentations of Jeremiah, as
we'll as listen to the nournful chapters
which relate how their once great
stronghold was destroyed and lost to
them. All the ritual for the day is
couched in a mournful vein. There
will be no special exercises inobservan-
ces of the day in this cit y.
