AN income tax would not prove
nearly so popular as a great many
people seem to think. II you put a
tax on an income Of $4,000 and
upwards, this might prove popular to
those who have incomes Of $1,000
per year. II you put a tax on in
comes Of $500 and upwards. you
would find a great many more OBJ
jectlons. Is not this a tax on in
dustry and thrift? In fact would II
not discourage men from endeavor
ing to better themselves. It seems
Ike bad policy to tax a man fOi
working hard TO secure a better In
come. OF course, people who have
no income at all would not obiecs
to taxing those who have an in

do to alleviate her suffering was

1t is the purpose of Lieutenant Riley
to pick a winning team. There are a
great many good marksmen among
the local militiamen and it is believed
that the honors to be disbursed at
Vicksburg can be gobbled up in good
shape.
The team will leave for Vicksburg

ST. Louis Man Who Worked For Law

That He Would "Stay Until He'll

JACKSON, Miss, April 16.-The in
Gictment against Chas. F. Evers, the
de, ,ective, who has been employed with
W. M. Pinson, the Arkansas preacher
detective, by the Law Enforcement
league, charging him with carrying a
concealed weapon, was finally return
ed into court by the Kinds county
grand jury yesterday, after being held
up for several weeks, was quashed
upon the recommendation of Acting
District Attorney R. p. Thompson,
upon the promise of Evers that as
soon as he could wind up his affairs
here he would leave the state for
good. Some time ago Evers stated
that he had resigned and would re
turn to his former home in st. Louis,
but when he was given a $10O fine
in Justice Cade's court for carrying
a concealed weapon and was advised
by some of the members of the league
to leave town, declared he would stay
here until hell froze over. The in
dictment was for the same offense.
