Jackson. Miss. Feb. o, 1897. !

1t must be admitted by all candid and
observant persons that the state of Mis-
sissippi, with her great and undevelop-
cd resources, has. up to this time,
Jagged sadly in the march of progress
snd advancement, which has charac-
terized her sister sister southern states.
Ia the great awakening OF the new
south. Mississippi, and the confession
il made with humiliation, has not
sbeen in it," The reviving current of
CAPITAL, which has flowed strongly to
other southern states, and sent the
thrill of q new life pulsating through
all the channels of industry, built up
waste place, given value 90 land. con-
tributed home markets for producers,
reduced taxes, and Ut the same time
swclled the public revenues, hos pass
ed Mississippi by. Why is this2 Has
Mississippi been forgotten? Has she
b zen Cverlooked7 This cannot be. Ths
fault lies, it is to be feared, at her own
door. Narrow and illiberal public
policy, unnecessary class legislation
offspring Of demagogues-has had
much, II not all, to do in keeping Mis-.
sissippi where she is to-day.
IL Is generally conceded that the
legislature now in session is the best
the state has had for years. There 10
no doubt that its proceedings are
watched anxiously, both at home aud
abroad, and much OF lasting good or
evil 20 the state hangs in the balance
The state demands broad and liberal
policy, and true craftsmanship will
recognize and heed this demand.
The climate ard soil of Mississippi is
unsurpassed. In round mum ers the
state has 20, 00o. 900 acres of land. In
round numbers oply 5000, 900 acres of
this land are in cultivation. What
more need he said?
Edgar Wilson loves Mississippi and
would lift her by his single baud-if

prosperous condition her natural re-
sources and advantages ehtitle her to
enjoy. This is evidenced By his several
appeals 10 her behalf to her people aud

TAXATION.

The recent attempt by the presen
Legislature to put tariff ON dogs il
Illustrates the evil Of indiscriminste tax
sti0n.
The Echoe believes that taxation
ought to be conducted on other prnci
pies than those which guide 1t new
As il is, il Is void Of dignity and system.
and reminds one Of the old time tithes.
It seems the state ia always going
about with the stealth Of detective to
discover something new upon which to
ievy . tsx.
The laws regarding taxation ought
to be changed 30 that nothing except
what Q taxpayer deriveh benefit from
should be taxed. All personal property
OF q purely ornamental character
should be made exempt.
OF course, The Echos ID aware that
large amount of money 10 required to
run the state, and believing that sucn
money Is spent for the good of the
state. We would not recon m end = sys-
tenn which would lessen its revenue.
only that those things from which no
material benefit 10 derived be exempt
II 10 patent to any reasonable being
that taxation As it is, Is palpable
abuse OF individual rights.-Sea Coast
.Echoe.
There is solid truth aud justice in
what the Echoe says. I ,e spirit OF our
federal constitution bre ms equal bur
dens OF taxation, aud common justice
does the same. Singing out special
classes and profess IS rs woll as per-
sceal property Of AL "rname'. al nature
is oil wrong. The man who sports a
white shirt and diamond pin is no more
= special object of the taxing hand OF
the government than the hickory
shirt and rice bu-..ca of the les. fortu
nate. The Echoe is right whom it lays |
down the principle chat nothing ex-
cspt what's tsx-payer derives benefit
from should be taxed The whole

much abused one. The pow':r 20 AK,
