PURPOSES.

Jackson. Miss, Sept. 16.-Boards OF
supervisors in Mississippi have author
ity to increase the poll tax for school
purposes from So to So. without the
necessity for an election. but it can
not levy it except at a regular meet
ing provided by law, according to an
opinion sent to Hon. w w. Lee, OF
Prentiss, from the office of Attorney
General Ross A. Collins late yesterday
In reply to questions submitted by
Mr.. Lee Assistant Attorney General
Frank Johnson replied as follows:
THE board of supervisors have au
thority under section 243 of the con
stitution to increase the poll tax fol
school purposes from 50 to SO per an
mum.
Under the terms of section 1872
the election provision applies only tt
an ad valorem levy of taxes, or il
other words. a property tax. To in
crease the poll tax from 50 to So il
would not be necessary for the boarC
to order an election, for, as | have
stated, the provision in regard to tht
election applies only to levy Oh
property tax. But the board of super
visors, while it has the constitutions
authority to increase the poll tax from
80 m 60 without any alectiOn h1, tbf
people, can not levy this poll tax ex
cept at the regular meeting provided
by law for levy for general county
purposes"

fled that he believed the resources of

than twelve men, and he admitted that

Referring to the elasticity of the sys-
TEN, Mr.. Collier said that if money is
needed in a certain section, paper
backed by securities and endorsed by
the bank, may be taken to the federal
reserve banks and rediscounted. If
the federal reserve banks want cur
rency, they can make proper applica-
ton to the federal reserve board, who
have discretion as to the issuance OF
the currency. That is what he meant
by the currency automatically expand
ing to meet such emergencies as al
ways arise at crop-moving time. After
the necessity for the extra currency
had passed, the notes could be taken
up and the currency would automat-
ically contract.
Mr.. Collier also dwelt upon the agri-
cultural features Of the BILL showing
that for the first time the farmer is to
be properly recognized.
Mr. Stevens said he had announced
in the caucus that he would vote for
two amendments that were refused by
the caucus when they are brought on
the floor of the House. One amend
ment would remove from the bill the
clause exempting capital stock In the
Federal reserve banks from taxation.
He opposes this clause on the ground
that 1t is unconstitutional and dis
eliminates against stockholders In
banks that are not federal reserve
banks. He will also vote for the
amendment removing from the bill the
clause to refund outstanding two per
cent Government bonds with three
per cent bonds. He said this will In
cur an unnecessary expense of some
thing like $27,0OO,OO0 on the Govern
ment and that 1t Is also discriminatory.
since it applies only to banks holding
the two per cent bonds and not to
individual stockholders.
Mr.. Stevens said, however, that
whether these amendments are accept
ed or rejected, he will vote for the
bill, which he declared is, in its chief
features, an excellent measure. He
said there are two advantages in the

into the bill, a democratic chorus of

The debate bristled with charges OF
