Inadequate Representation.

The subject of representation in
the legislature Is equally important.
Since the last apportionment, South
Mississippi's population has increased
to an extent which makes the present
basis of representation nothing short
of ridiculous. For instance. Forrest
county Is certainly entitled to sen
ator, when, as a matter Of fact, she
shares the election of that official
with several other counties. Pike
county, with an assessed valuation of
sGOo0,o0o, and population of fully
$4,000, shares her senator with Frank
lin and has only two Representatives
1T is time South Mississippi should
begin to press her claims upon the
state government and | know of no
better way of her doing so than
through her newspapers.
OF course, there are many sub.
jects of development and progress in
which the newspapers of our section
are constantly interesting themselves.
but the purpose of this organization
is to secure the concerted movement
and cooperation by and among all
South Mississippi newspapers and
thereby not only impress the legisla-
ture with the need of reforms which
are obvious. but at the same time slim
uiate the people TO greater independent
effort and attract the attention of the
country at large to the best section of
our state"

Unjust Taxation,

That South Mississippi is paying
the larger proportion of taxes for the
support of the state government is
made apparent by the fact that prac
tically every county south OF the A.
& " railroad pays thousands of dol
lars more into the state treasury than
they get back in the states distribu.
ton of the common school and pension
funds. For instance, Pike county con
tributes 100000, in round numbers.
more than it gets back, and this
county, Forrest is in about the same
attitude. On the other hand there are
a number of North Mississippi coun-
ties which receive for schools and pen.
sions more than they pay in, and some
Of these. am advised, run their pub
lie schools six or seven months in the
year on state funds without the nee
essity of any local school tax, while
all South Mississippi counties find it
necessary to levy a special school tax
to get four or six months school
term.

TORNADO INSURANCE
IS GROWING RAPIDLY
Special 10 The Ne,ps

NEW ORLEANS, September 2S.-
The insurance companies which take
cyclone and tornado risks are having
busy time these days. These risks
have been very cheap, policy holders
paying on an average only 40 cents or
90 cents per 100 for three years, and
during the past few years this branch
of the insurance business has grown
considerably. One agency reports that
over 200 claims for damages by the
recent storm have been filed with it.
A very large portion of the sugar.
houses in the state have been covered
with tornado risks so that when they
have all been heard from, the agencies
Will have something to think about.
when 1t comes to adjusting the losses
The recent storm has given quite
an impetus to this class of business,
several of the agencies reporting f.
large increase in the demand for
policies of this character.

mittee on resolutions, composed Of
Messrs. j. X. Oliphant, Popialville

Ledger, and NJ, l.. BiXler, reported the
following resolutions, which were
adopted by unanimous vote:
1T is the sense of the South Missis-
sippi Press Association that the future
stability of South Mississippi-its instl-
buttons, its numerous enterprises and
splendid cities-depend largely on the
development of our agricultural re.
sources. which we believe to be I'M
surpassed by those of any other sec.
ton of the state or nation.
Therefore. be 1t
Resolved, That the members of
this association pledge themselves
unreservedly to campaign of educa-
ton and propagation in the eau e #
the speedy and permanent develop
ment of the agricultural resources Of
South Mississippi. and that we urge
upon the members of the press to
join in movement which has for its
end and object the betterment of ev.
cry interest represented in this SPLEEN
did section of our commonwealth.
Resolved that We urge the sena.
tors and representatives in the legis-
ture from South Mississippi to con.
tinue their active and intelligent eff
forts to secure more uniform and
equitable system of taxation which
shall relieve South Mississippi of the
unjust burden she now bears, and to
secure a larger representation in the
legislature, to which she is now en-.
titled. and which she is now denied

great service In the development OIL
this section of country. and particu.
iarly, just now In securing relief for
The people Of South Mississippi from
unjust taxation and unequal and un.
fair representation in the legislature.
South Mississippi is bearing the
greater proportion of taxation for the
support Of the state government. In
proportion to their market value our
lands are assessed much higher than
those in the Northern section OF the
state, especially those In the Yazoo
and Mississippi delta. We have no
state board Of equalizers as other
states have, and hence a board of
county supervisors in South Mississip-
pi assess the land of its county without
reference to the assessments which
may be simultaneously made by the
supervisors of North Mississippi coun-
ties.

SPECIAL Committee
IS Still AT work
Legislators Are BusiIy Engaged in De
visins Plan for the Equalization
of Taxes.

Special TO The News
JACKSON, Miss. September rs
Teh special legislative committee Of
ten, holding forth in accordance with
the joint resolution of the legislature
for the purpose of devising a plan fol-
the equalization of tax assessments In
the state, resumed its work yesterda,
| morning, all the members who spent
Sunday at their homes having re-
turned on the night or early morning
trains. and the session opened prompt
ly at o'clock.
Some doubt is expressed as to the
ability of the members to complete
the work before them by tonight, as
had been hoped, but every effort will
be made to do so. This does not mean
the completion of the work in its en-
tirety, but only the work which the
committee has decided should be done
during this session, to be finally
rounded up early in January. either
before or just after the converting of
the legislature, which gets together on
January 5
None of the features of the plan
which will be recommended have been
given to the press, but it is believed
Vt will embrace some sort of a board
OF equalization of statewide jurisdic-
ton, in accordance with the sugges
tons made by Governor Noel
Will Not Adopt NoeI's Plan.
The committee will not, however.
adopt the suggestion of the governor
that land be exempt from taxation and
the entire taxes of the state be raised
from personal property. as is done in
some of the New England states with
success. The reason for this is obvi.
Gus, since these are states with little
realty and much personally. while
Mississippi has great deal more land
than anything else, and could hardly
raise the necessary money to conduc.
the state government without the
taxes on real estate. In many coun-
Ties the realty assessments are from
three to five times as much as the
personality, and in the entire state the
revenue from realty is about double
that of the personally.
Aside from the general plan of
equalization which the committee will
get up and submit to the legislature.
several outside measures, suggested
by the information received during
this session. will be offered by the in
dlvldual members of the committee.
Important among these will be one bv
Senator Mcmillan, making void all
deeds of trust not recorded within
thirty days. This for the purpose of
stopping the practice of Withholding
these documents from the records TO
avoid taxation on the solvent credits
represented by them.

Tii";EY DON'T Want
The SOUL KISS
Preachers of jackson Appeal to. the

OF the Play There.

JACKSON, Miss, September rs
Several members of the Jackson cler.
gy have filed with Mayor Crowdcr a
protest against the production of "The
Soul Kiss" booked for the Century
Theater next Monday night.
The clergy stated that their pro-
test was based on dramatic criticisms
recently appearing in several South
ern newspapers saying that the pro
duction is broad and suggestive; thai
it has several lascivious features
which should not be presented before
an audience of ladies and gentlemen.
Mayor Crowder has never personal.
ly witnessed production of THE
Soul Kiss and is therefore unable
to pronounce judgment. He agrees
with members of the clergy that if the
production is of the character they
assert it to be the performance should
not be permitted, but at the same
time, any effort on the part of the
city to prevent the production, unless
hased on very certain grounds would
