CARLISLE. Miss, February 20, 1924.
Mr.. Editor:
While the honorable board Of super
visors have been too eztrayagant, as
charged, and retrenchment is in order,
we must frankly own that they are not
alone responsible for it. There are too
many coal, iron and sugar interests in
the county represented BY petitions. too
readily signed BY parties, without con-
sideration Only recently a petition was
presented to me for signature, asking
the honorable board to bridge a SPRING
BRANCH a little west of us, upon which
| noticed large taxpayers names. My
reply was that, while | favored good
roads and bridge convenlences, the c0un-
ty was not in condition to incur expense
for as little Importance at this time,
and declined. Much comment has been
made upon the little iron bridge built
between here and Hermanville. new
er saw the petition, but Of course it was
the result Of petition; yet the board is
censured for it. The fact IS, IN my
Judgment, that no petition carries with
it the sentiment it presents, being often
signed without reading CT question Of
Its merits.
On the subject Of road working, the
board hasn't general support. 1t can't
be denied that the disposition to avoid
working public roads is virtually gener-
al, hence our present experience. We
naturally incline to shift our response
bility in all matters. We charge flu
ture options and capitalists with low
cotton when we, the producers, are the
cause. Well, says the producer, why ?
The answer is easy and brief. It isn't
because 100 much made, by any means.
1t is want Of demand for manufactured
goods. Well, says one, what has the
producer to do with that? Nearly all.
Why? Because it takes the proceeds
Of the little cotton we make to buy what
we should raise at home, and we've
nothing left 10 buy manufactured cot
ton. The ragged, virtually naked ap-
pearance OF the masses would have
furnished the information our congress
sional committee was visiting the cities
to get Congress. it is true, is now and
has been since its extra session, mate
rally affecting cotton by not passing the
tariff bill, as importers are withholding
purchase until anticipated and pledged
reductions in imports Is effected. Con-
Oregg Is also rn4nonaihlo for our 6nan-
cial stringency by delaying settlement
Of financial questions. Capital seeks
best and safest investment, and, natur-
ally timid, is waiting to see. But With
all these. if we had made suitable pro-
vision for our families and selves-plen-
ty at home, as TO meat, bread, etc.--it
would matter but little what cotton was
worth. We are at last responsible for
our status. Let us change, as it will
grow worse at our own instance.

Congressman Kilgore, OF Texas,
is proving serious obstacle to the
passage Of private pension bills. II
has been the practice to put such
bills through without objection,
quorum or no quorum, but Mr.. Kill
gore is going TO insiston a quorum
IN every case. This is very difficult
TO secure, rs nobody but the con-
gresham who offers bill of this
kind feels any interest in its passage,
and members will not take the trou-
BILE to make quorum for him.
Mr.. Kilgore says that deserving ap-
plicants can get their cases attended
to at the pension Office, under the
general laws and as for "underser-
vers." be is opposed 10 their getting
a dollar from an already depleted
treasury.

The poor farmers who this season
held their cotton for higher prices
are again the victims Of misplaced
confidence. There has been a slow
but steady downward tendency all
the winter, as has been the case so
often before. The only safe rule is
to sell as soon as the crop can be
picked and ginned, the earliest cot
Ton nearly always bringing the best
prices.

A Comparison.


Meyersdale is to be congratulated.
The authorities there evidently keep a
calendar with the DEVILS holidays
printed in red figures. and provide for
them accordingly. The Commercial,
believing that prevention is better
than cure" commends the custodians
of the towns peace as follows:
Halloween passed very quietly here
Burgess Hutson having three policemen on
duty, to wit: J. J. Holzshu, John Wagner
and Mahlon KEngaman There was the
usual bOmbardment of the windows with
corn and innocent pranks, but no injury to
person or property of any one. Evidently
Frostburg did not escape so well, if the fol-
lowing from the JOURNAL is considered
Boys acted badly Wednesday night. Stones
were thrown against doors and windows
broken in a shameful manner. The town
officers talk of such divilment as something
to be expected and quite beyond prevention
or remedy.
Later-The JOURNAL knows the boys, and
only kind consideration for their parents pre-
vents relentless prosecution.
It's all in the Burgess and proper exercise
of authority, Mr.. Editor. Hutson fills the
bill
Since the JOURNAL comes to think
over the matter, it is the town that
ought to be prosecuted for collecting
taxes-rather for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
