VOTE FOR FAX AMENDMENT.
Its Adoption is Urged by the flinne-
sofa Tax League.

To the Voters of the State of Min
nesota:
The Minnesota Tax League, COM
posed of representatives from all Sec
tions of the State, and organized for
the purpose of developing and guild
ing investigation, discussion and prac-
tical application of the principles CON-
trolling just system of state and local
taxation, desires to bring to your
favorable attention the tax amend
ment to be voted on at the coming
election.
Minnesota's system of taxation, de-
vised in the infancy of the state, has
broken down completely. Instead of
uniformity, we have dozen different
methods of guessing at the basis of
taxation. We tax some sort of pro-
perty twice over and others not at all.
We impose grevious burdens on enter
prise, place penalties on thrift and let
waste run riot. We find ourselves
hemmed in by code of laws impos-
sible to follow and, when we try to
correct their plain injustice, we dis
cover that we are fettered by an in
flexible constitution requiring us to
do the inequitable and impossible.
There is only one thing to do, and
that is to amend the constitution.
Under the opportunity afforded by
such amendment, inequalities can be
corrected and laws may be enacted
which will work. The lessons learned
by New Zealand, by Australia, by
Oregon, by New York, by Massa-
chusetts, and by half dozen other
progressive states, are at our service
if we will but place ourselves in
position to utilize them.
Today the farmer on his crops, his
farm machinery and his household
effects, the laboring and professional
man on his household goods, the
merchant on his visible stock of mer-
chandise, in other words the thrift
and enterprise of the state are bear
ing an altogether unjust proportion of
the burden, a burden which cannot be
shifted until the amendment in ques-
tion is adopted. We therefore urgent
ly ask of every voter that at the COM
ing election he make it his especial

What He Would Do.

Dr. G. R. Lewis, the genial postmas- ter, stated this evening that he woul6 like to be mayor of Bessemer for just one month, and at the expiration of that time he would be perfectly willing to resign. To have heard that state ment. one would be inclined to think that he had seen some real service along that line. But such is not the case, because he admits himself tLat the little job is quite<a strenuous one. He even went so far as to state that he knew the mayor could not please them all, but he did think that ne could accomplish one thing that has never been done before and that par
 ticular thing was that he could make the Water Works company reduce it's rates just 4G per cent. Every one pres ent admitted that that looked pret.y big. but he stated that he could do it., and he also said that it sh ould be done
 Of course it is a matter of reco Il that every one in the city takes a knock at the Water Works company, and after all they can very seldom ever tell just why it is done. When they are asked about it they simply state that the company charges too much for the water, but on the othe hand when the city did have chance to buy the plant some years ago they turnel it down at their own price, and now since the price has advanced every one wants to see the city buy it. The matter of construing the contract that the water company hts with the city has become a joke, because whenever the Water Works company Is mentioned

NORTH BESSEMER LINE HAS NEW CARS Much Larger Than Those
 Heretofore Used CITY COMMITTEE PLANS Meeting May Be Called For Next "Wednesday Evening In Bessemer. Personal and General News
 of Interest.
CITY COMMITTEE PLANS

Bessemer, February 26.-(Special.)- time ago by the Birmingham Railwa :, Light and Power company for service on the North Bessemer line made tn cir appearance this afternoon, and as one man expressed it, they are "beautes The cars are some what larger than the ones that have been in use for the pasr year or two, and it is understood that higher rate of speed. The work on the interior of the cars is all that could be 9 sked for and they will compare favor ably with any cars in the south in this line. The new cars have a seating ca . pacity for about twenty more people than the old ones have, and this in itself means good deal for the Bes- ham often.
 During the past few months, the travel on the North Bessemer line, esps- cialiy between the hours of 5 and D m., has been very heavy, and it has often been the case that a person woul be compelled to remain standing all the way from Birmingh am to Bessc- mer.
 The institution of the new cars ao pears to be in keeping with all the other things that President Ford has done since he has been in charge of the road He seems to take an interest in the welfare of the city with regard U its travel, and he has always shown that he is more than willing to do the right thing.

The Executive Committee.

It was announced by one of the members of the executive committee this evening that Chairman Huffman would in all probability call a meeting for next Wednesday evening, and at that time the committee would begin active work. It is believed that the reason for not having the meeting a. an earlier date is because the coni- mittee wants to wait and see what the council will do with regard to the adoption of the new code. It was also stated this evening that the committee might not order a primary, and in that case it would simply mean free fo. all fight at the general election
 Under the new code each ward will have to elect it's own aldermen and this fact it is believed will bring out sev- eral candidates for each position.

BUCKLEY IS MADE JUDGE

Jackson, Miss, February 26=tspeeial)- Governor Noel sent special message to the legislature today urging that the gov ernor's mansion be repaired at once, and protesting vehemently against the propo- sition to sell the site and build a mansion elsewhere.
 The governor declares the home proVid- ed for the governor is disgrace to the state and an eyesore to the people gen. erally The furnishings, he declares, are not fit for men of moderate means, and that he has brought furnishings from his own home at Lexington to fit up the house that is supposed to be fitted by the state. On the strength of this message the senate passed a bill today appropriat- ing SS6OOO to repair the mansion. It was erected in the 40's and sentiment had much to do with the vote to repair instead of building another
 Governor Noel has named the following state board of pharmaceutical examiners and they have been confirmed by the sen ate: H. B. Welborn, Golumbia J, k. Bryan, Amory; o. Easterling. seooba' J B. Small Winona; L. H. Wilkinson, Jr., Indianola. No member of the old board was reappointed.
 Governor Noel has appointed, and the senate has confirmed Hon. John L, Buck ley of Enterprise Clarke county, as elr- cult judge of the Tenth district. posi- tion now held by Judge Robert Cochran of Meridian, and whose term expires Ill August next. This ends a very warm contest. Judge Cochran has gained great deal of notoriety by the rough way in which he handled his courts, dis charging juries when they went contrary to his ideas of what they should be, and featuring them in a way that was caleu- lated to cause difficulties A year ago he horsewhipped a drummer who had erlti- cised him in hotel at Meridian, but was declared not guilty by the city court

some citizen will make the remark that the contract has never been construed. In justice to the water company be it said that it is no fault of theirs that the contract cannot be construed prep erly, or at least as the citizens of Be- semer think it should be.
 The contract was made several years ago and it was signed and accepted by the mayor and the board of aldermen, so there is no blame to be attached t. the water company.
 A prominent citizen stated this even ing that while he believed the genial and accommodating postmaster would make d good mayor. even for short month, he was under the impression that after the expiration of his term of service it would be found that the Water Works company was doing business in the same old way and the bills would have to be paid every quarter in advance if the consumer wanted to use the real Hawkins Springs product.

BIG FEES CUT OUT.
Quarantine Officials Lose Their Little
 Perquisites.

Norfolk, February 26.-The state board of quarantine commissioners has issued an order effective March 1. lifting from all foreign steamships en- tering the capes of the Chesapeake for bunker coal at Virginia ports, the compulsory Virginia state quarantine inspection now in force with a fee cf ST to the state quarantine officer for each inspection. One thousand foreign steamships entering the ports of Nor folk and Newport News annually for bunker coal will be benefited by this ruling which reduces by 75 per cent the salary of the Virginia state quar- antine doctors appointed by the gov ernor. The quarantine commissioners hold that reinspection by the state of- ficers after vessels have passed the United States government quarantine at Old Point Comfort is useless and a hard ship as well on vessels simply coming for bunker coal.
