ings. A total repeal of the vaiued
policy law has been agitated, but the
bankers and capitalists of the state
oppose the exemption of buildings, on
the ground that it would reduce their
value as collateral. This feature of
the amendment is as follows:
"When buildings insured against
loss by ire, and situated within this
state are totally destroyed by fire, the
company shall not be liable beyond
the actual cash value of the insured
property at the time of loss or damage
not to exceed the amount named in
the policy; and if it shall appear that
the insured has paid premiums on
such sum in excess of said actual
yaiue. the assured shall be reimbursed
the proportionate excess of premiums
paid on the difference between the
amount named in the policy and the
ascertained values, with interest at
six per cent from the date of issue. -
The commissioner also proposed an
amendment providing form OF
standard policy to be used by all COM
panies operating in the state. and
provides penalty tor failure to use
this form. He also proposes more
strict provisions as to rebating. which
has been generally complained of.
Another important amendment sug
reeted is to the antitrust law exempt

SCHOOL FUND QUESTION.
The Proposition to Divide School
Fund Between Races According
to Taxes Paid Unpopular.

Special TO the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Dec 30.-The proposition
to divide the school fund between the
races in proportion to the taxes paid
by each race, which was the bnruiIg
issue in the state campaign last sum
mar, will probably never get further
along with the coming Legislature
than the paper on which il is recon-
mended in the governor a message.
There is not even remote likeli-
hood that the legislature Will eruct
such a law, although bills looking to
this end will of course be introduced
During the campaign last summer less
than dozen of the legislative candl-
dates declared themselves in favor Cf
Major Vardaman's plan. Even these
who favored it and who are now en-
abled to view the question i'll a cold
and dispasslenate light, wholly freed
of its political embellishments, are
willing to admit that such doctrine
is unconstitutional, and would not
stand legal test. At the same time
it has served to re- e-emphasize the un-
alterable determination that the po-
litical, industrial and social destiny
of Mississippi rests with the white
people of the state, and, having
served this purpose, it should be very
carefully relegated to the shelf for use
in the future when Roosevelt blackens
up his face and infiicts the south with

Sad Havoc in Matter of Con-

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jack son, Dec 30.-The prevailing
high price of cotton has greatly ag-
gravsted labor conditions in Missis-
sippi, which have heretofore been in
very unsatisfactory shape on account
of the difficulty in inducing the negro
to work in the cotton fields, and his
decided preference for the work in the
towns, or still stronger tendency to
loaf about the streets and live on his
earnings of the year. Since cotton
started on an upward course the me-
groes as a rule refuse to accept em-
ploy ment as plckers unless they are
paid wages proportionate with the
advance of the market, and in many
communities il is impossible to get
them to work for any price. MS the
