G. HONORS
OUR MSSlSSIPPlANS
judge r. ". Fletcher Associated With
Head Council.

The Illinois Central railrord seems to
have the utmost confidence in the legal
of the Mississippi bar, it having
just elevated another one of our citi-
Zens to the position of General Counsel
that Company. The man SO honored
is Judge r. v. Fletcher, OF Jackson.
For many years Judge ]. Nj. Dickin-
fon, a native ~Mississippian, was at the
head OF the legal department of that
big system, until President Taft, recog-
nizing his ability and fitness for the
place, offered him the position of Sec
rotary Of War in his Cabinet. his ac-
ceptance of the honor left the position
of general counsel in the Illinois Cen
trail offices vacant, and another Missis-
sippian, Blewett Lee, son of the lament
ed Cen. s.. d. Lee, and who had been
Mr.. Dickinson's assistant, continued at
the head of the legal department of the
big railroad system, and Hon Clarence
Sivley, of Oxford, was selected by the
company to share the honors with him.
The position of general counsel stiIl re-
mains open, but these two gentlemen
have beer performing the duties of the
position eve since the retirement of
MIR. Dickinson, holding the rank of as
sistant general council. Judge Fletch-
er will now assume the same rank and
share the duties incumbent Oh these
two Mississippians who have already
proven their worth to the company.

The County Attorney Act of the
recent legislature is being appre-
ciated all over the State, and its Of
fcials are doing faithful and eff
Gent work. The tax of $500 on
each criminal case in which the
prosecuting attorney appears for the
State easily offsets the expense of
the office. Here in Le1ore County
the January 1911 Grand Jury was
enabled to wind up its work within
three days, thus saving the taxpay-
ers quite a neat little sun in itself

Hundreds of millions Of pounds OF
C bid storage butter, eggs, cheese and
pJultry-some AS mucb - I've years
old-are about TO be thrown on the
market and sacrificed AT whatever
price thew will bring. This icomes a.
result Of the collapse within the last
few DAYS of the "F'ood Trust" which
by steady aggressions in the past hVe
years, has piled prices of provisions
up to thIer present exorbitant figures.
Prices now some 80 i-3 per cent,
higher than they ought TO be, are
about 10 drop IN suuaen niu"4p -
their normal levels. Failures among
Chicago comm1s ion men and gem
eral financial stringency In the butter
egg and poultry trade are effects, that
are sure to follow.
Although the collapse of the "cor-
ner," is likely to be felt most keenly
by the cold storage men of Chicago,
the pinch will be felt in many of the
important shipping centres OF the East
and Middle West, Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, Omaha, Kansas City,

of as the points where most Of the I'd

The Register is surprised 70 find the
bulletin OF the West Virginia board of
trade beasting that the tax rate in this
state is the lowest in the country. The
statement is misleading. 1T is based
on compaItive table prepared by Tax
Commissioner Townsend, purporting
to show that the average rate of taxa
ton in West Virginia is "a l-2 cents,
and that in Kansas, the next lowest
state, it is 81 cents. Assuming that
Mr.. Townsend's figures are correct
they are low for Ohio and many other
counties with which The Register is
famiiar-they tell only half the story.
The levy throws little light on the
amount of taxation unless it is accom-
panied by information showing the
ratio between assessed and actual val
uations.
What Mr. Townsend neglected to do
was to show that property, real and
personal, is assessed as high in other
states-Kansas for sxample-as it is In
WcHt FlTSiuld. IL hH acTe Oh lanu III
West Virginia IL worth 5000, aud an
acre in Kentucky is worth the same
amount, and it is assessed at 500 in
West Virginia and at $50 in Kentucky,
it does not require very fine mathe-
NAUTICAL mind to figure out THAI levy
Of so cents here will impose the same
tax burden on the land owner as a levy
of one dollar IN Kentucky.
Taxes in West Virginia may not be
the highest, but they certainly are not
the lowest. They are not as low az
they should be, and as The Register
confidently expects that they will be
as the result ofenactments by the next
legislature. 1t is useless try to fool
capitalists seeking opportunities for
investment in West Virginia, by such
statements as Mr.. Townsend has pre-
pared. Economically administered
government. with rational laws affect
ting corporations, will attract more in
vestors, and do more to develop our
resources and build up the state than
al, the alluring half-truths emanating
