High Taxes in mississippi.

State taxation has certainly
reached the extreme limit in Mis-
Sissippi. The State levy is higher
Than it has been at any time since
the days OF radical rule.
Among the first things that was
done by the present administration.
upon coming into power in 1896.
was to raise the State tax levy from
five mills to six mills on the dollar.
And in 1888 the State tax was
again raised to six and half mills
on the dollar.
In 1898 the total amount of State
taxes exceeded The State taxes in
1898 10y the sum of 800 900. The
AT vaIorem rate OF taxation has
been raised thirty per cfnt., and
the amount Of privilege taxes alone
exceeded by over 800, 600 the priv.
lege taxes levied IN the year 1895.
There is nothing in the way of pub.
nc improvements to show for tins
enormous Increase of State taxa
ton. those and all of this tax money
is applied to the expenses of ad
ministering the State government
The State school t xes, 500. 800
per annum larger than in 1898. and
$50 900 is required for the interest
on the $500 600 issue of bonds in
1896, but after deductiug these two
items more than $3.50 600 remains
as the excess of taxation in 1895
applied to the strictly ordinary ex
penseS OF the State government.
Salaries have not been raised
offices have not been multiplied,
the cost OF maintaining State in
stltntions cannot have increased
appreciably. The question arises
as to why it should cost the tax
payers $3.50, 900 more to run the
State government than it did in
\ 1895.
The land values, as assess ed, are
s200, 600 less than in 1895, while
there has been a slight increase in
the personal property assessment,
the aggregate taxable values in the
State have practically remained
stationary.
In the effort TO relieve the prop,
erty the privilege taxes have been
raised in the aggregate to more
than $50 COO than they were in
1898, but notwithstanding this the
dd VaIOtpm taxes have cen raised
from five TO six and half mills, an
Increase in the tate of thirty per
cent,
This is a most unsatisfactory
condition of affairs. - Nicksburg
Post.

The most Democratic Democrat
In the State perhaps is the editor
OF the Crystal Springs Meteor. He
says the the writer would suffer
his right hand to he palsied before
he would permit it to told a ballot
in favor OF a man who is not a
Democrat" We are not that pa.
triotic. In fact before we would
have our hand palsied the whole
Democratic party might go to the
d mnition rOwwow. The Demo-
cratic party is one thlng-a palsied
hand is another. The Democratic
party will be alive and kicking
when the palsied hand would be in
the grave. Besides a palSied hand
is not very good hand any way.
1t can always be beaten by four
acres, whether thrown upon the
green by Republican or a Deno-
crat. 1t is well enough for a fell
low to be patriotic, but this giving
of ones hand for the sake of his
party has played out.-Hattiesburg
