selfish act. The sermon was fine ap-
peal to arouse the noblest impulses of
manhood and womanhood.
On Sunday night, Rev. H. S. Sprag-
gins, pastor of the Methodist church at
Greenwood, preached very interest
ing sermon to the Young Women S
Christian Association. His theme was
that "the children of Christ are His
personal representatives. Well did
he urge upon his hearers to be ever on
guard for the duty they owe to God
and that Christ might be shown to 9TH
ers through them.

HON. HILRIE NJ. QUlN
Makes Annual Address. Graduates
ACQuit Themselves with Credit.

The Graduates day at the public
school was witnessed by crowded au-
ditorium. Every one of the graduates
are to be congratulated upon their de-
liverances. Mr.. A. Weigert was vale
dictorian, and he showed himself equal
to the occasion and that his fellow
classmates had made no mistake.
"Class prophecy" by Miss Lallah
Kimbrough, was exceptionally fine. ln-
deed, it would seem difficult to improve
on the speeches of any one of the grad
yates.
| The annual address was delivered by
Hon. H. NJ. Quin of Jackson and
speaker of the Mississippi House of
representatives. His subject was,
THE best is in Mississippi" and he en-
ioined upon the youth of the land to
remain in the state that gave them
birth, where there is all that is best in
womanhood, the noblest in manhood,
the most fertile in valley and greatest
in undeveloped resources. He recount
ed deeds of valor and heroism of Mis-
sissippi soldiery, the trials of the state
lust after the close of the Civil War,
and showed that Mississippi soldiers
and her statesmen had been leaders
ever. He pointed with pride to the
fact that this state was the first to ins
corporate into statute law recogniz-
ing the property rights of women that
this state was the first to establish a
college exclusively for women, and that
this state had led in emancipating it
self from the ballot in the hands of the
ignorant negro. He told of Grecian
legend that showed what continued anc
persistent effort meant and what it ac-
I complished, and admonished the stu
/ dents that whatever had been done
l could be done over and that their fu
| ture was in their hands.

on it will increase in popularity and
patronage 1t is needless to add that
President Countiss is expecting great
things from the large number of girls
he is sending out, in the way OF an ad-
vertisement for Grenada College, and
if they are not active and energetic
takers for their alma mater, he VIII
be disappointed.
The health of the college for the past
session has been most remarkable. In
deed, there is scarcely an institution IN
the South that can parallel the record
in this regard. But when it is known
that every sanitary precaution is used
and that the most watchful care is ex-
ercised towards looking after the
health of the girls and the young
ladies who attend the college, this is
no surprise. The student body and fac
ulty of Grenada College are like one
great big family and every student re
ceiyes individual care and attention.

last February, they were the officers
, of the first organization, which today
was completed by taking into its
membership all county leagues which
were not already allied. Jewell
Mayes of The Glasgow Missourian,
was elected publicity secretary.
The morning session was marked
with an enthusiasm indicating that
the men who are opposed to the sin
ole tax amendments will work day
and night to accomplish theirpurpose.
One speaker declared that if John D.
Rockefeller should come to Missouri
and become a taxpayer and the
amendments carry, he, regardless of
his vast wealth, would be paying less
tax than the owner of any average
sized farm.
Several speakers gave figures to
prove the assertion they made that
"single tax to the farmer meant moth
ing more than double tax" One
speaker made the announcement that
under the amendment, if it carries,
St. Louis would pay about 81, 900
more in taxes than it does now; fancy

County, $86, 600; Cooper County; $54,-

1t further was claimed that this ra-
ito of increase would prevail all over
the State.
Appeals to Landowners
In his address President Falcon
stated that the landowners of the
State had to get together and organize
and work in accord to offset the
the single takers were spend
ing all over the State to put the
amendments through, but that they
could be defeated if they were ex-
planned properly to the voters and all
worked together.
Among the persons to address the
conference in the morning were:

ticket for the nomination for Govern
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1912-09-05

The one amendment to be voted at
the November election of which def
mite predictions can be made as to
what will follow its adoption is the
school mill tax amendment. There
is no hidden boomerang in this
amendment, which after adoption
might make the voter regret his ac-
ton. On the contrary it will form
the basis for the solving of great
problem, that is the good roads prob
lem. With the adoption of the school
mill tax amendment there will be re-
leased from the general revenue of
the state close to one million dollars
which now goes to the support of the
educational institutions, this can be
appropriated by the Legislature, in
whole or in part, for the construction
of good roads. The absolutely GER
tain effect of good roads and good
schools is increased land values.
The statement needs no persuasive
terms, its claims are obviously truth
full, as improvements alone increase
land values. Therefore the addition
of an Insignificant tax, the foolish
bugbear Of many property owners,
will represent an investment that will
surely bear tangible profits. Little
argument is needed to show the
adoption of the amendment is a good
business proposition, but it is hoped
the voters will look upon it from an
ethical standpoint. It is hoped that
their sense of justice to children and
their patriotic spirit will be the NOV
ing characteristics at election time.

delegation at the Anti Single Tax
Convention which convened in JET.

gates were present, representing all
sections of the State, each wearing,
suspended from red string on their
coats or shirt fronts, card four
inches square worded: Land Own
ers' Protective Association-Defeat
Single Tax"
During the day the name Of the or
ganization was changed to the Mis-
souri, Anti-Single Tax League.
As the single tax issue, in its pres
ent shape, is a new one in the State,
the organization, which was formed
to fight and, defeat the amend
ments, has not been in exist
ence very long, and this is the first
State wide conference held under its
auspices.
The session opened with an address
of welcome by Samuel B. Cook of
this city, followed by the response
by President Falcon.
The only advocate of single tax
present in the first half of the session
was Charles Opel, an architect of
Kansas City, a disciple of Henry
George.
Leagues are Admitted

State, not already affiliated with the
association, were admitted to member
ship, permanent officers were elected

At the afternoon session Mr.. Silvers
spoke on "The Single Tax Campaign
10 Date. "
In part he said: The campaign of
he Equitable Taxation League, on be-
half OF. this amendment, is one of
fraud, deceit and trickery. Its name
S deceitful. 1t is not an equitable
eague and has no sense of equity.
t is not a taxation league, but land
stealing, misunderstanding league. !
"The Kansas City Star, in a recent
ssue, stated that by the tax on land
lone all needed revenues could be
aised under a rate is as high as the
present rate. Yet it insists that the
limits on the rates of
axation must be abolished. Why
loes it not reduce the rates instead of
'epealing the limits? The reason is
hat its purpose is to confiscate rent
If land and destroy land values.
In the afternoon session, after the
lame of the organization was changed
o the Missouri Anti-Single Tax
league, the Committee on Resolutions
eported.
The list of officers was added to by
lecting Samuel B. Cook of Jefferson
;ity, vice president.
