my own opinion is that the bill of
last year will be changed only as to
Technology. It will not be narrowed,
but rather brOsdened in its scope.
There has been some doubt as to fits
clearness as to refrigerator cars, pri-
Yate cars and terminal charges. We
thought we had covered these
points, but there will be no
doubt over the question in
the next Congress. The crux
OF the whole situation lies in the grant
ing to the interstate commente or some
other body, the power to change rates.
That is to say, when it finds upon fair
investigation and full hearing that a
rate is bad it should have the power to
cancel that rate and substitute a just
one. Really the Esch-Townsend bill
is too conservative. Il cOnserVes the

\ convention of the county assessors
of Mississippi will be called to meet in
Jackson early in January for the pur-
pose of discussing the charges in the
assessment laws proposed by the annot-
ated code commission.
II is quite likely That the assessors will
do some proposing on their own &C
count, They are not at all pleased with
some of the charges suggested by the
commission, especially that clause re
curing that the assessment rolls OF
each county be compiled and filed with
the board of supervisors by the first
Monday in July. This, they claim, is A
physical lmpossibility unless the COM
pensation Of the assessor is increased to
the point where he viii be lstlfied IN
employing a large force of deputies,
which he cannot do on the present basis

Especially do the assessors object to
this clause on account Of the fact that
the commission also proposes that land
assessments be made annually, instead
of Fundamentally as at present The
assessment is commenced on the first Of
February, and the new law allows the
asse5sora only five months in which to
complete his work. This these officials
claim, is in many instances an absolute

Gated very plainly what his decision viii
be in these specific cases if the prohibi
ton attorney prove their contention
that liquor is being shipped into the state
by the distilllers without written orders
from the con'ignees
Judge Miles came out strongly on The
side of The prohibitionists in this fight,
and doing his address attributed the
alarming increase of crime in Mississippi
to the Illicit liquor traffic shipped in by
concerns dolniciled outside Of the state.
The language used showed quitelplainly
that he has been making an envestiga
tion Of the matter on his own account
and fully realizes the extent Of thi'
traffic.
Attorneys for the dlstillers were quite
surprised at the strong language used by
Judge Niles, especially his intimation
that the officers ct the state courts .honld
also take a hand in this fight, which was
construed to mean hat seizure should
be made in every instance where 1T il

Mississippi are being violated.
