THE BEARING OF LEASING UPON
TAXATION SYSTEMS

A peculiar relation may be discover
ed between the item of taxes and the
item of royalty under a lease. The
very word royalty, signifying a trib-
ute to the king, a notion which, if we
revert to the time when minerals in
place were reserved to the sovereign,
betrays a logical attitude for the state
to assume toward the public revenue
from mines. The fixed property of
value in a mine on which a tax may
fairly be imposed is the mineral in
place, but by reason of the difficulties
of measurement-beyond a certain
point impossible-the mine owner or
the state is able to fix an accurate as
sessment in the course of production
the leasing of public mineral land, as
an alternative to ownership, gains
much support in the United States, of
ten from mining men themselves. In
the domain of petroleum mining, leas-
ing of national GOAL lands is virtually
an assured policy. The leasing of
school and internal improvement lands
in the western states is a well estab-
lshed practice, so that in such cases
the tax RENTED is in the form of a
royalty. 1t is entirely conceivable
than an exorbitant tax upon privately
owned mineral lands might ultimately
persuade mineral claimants, under
government title, not only to accept
but to urge a Federal leasing system,
subject to land Office royalties. The
revenue from mines would thus be
diverted from the state to the nation.

SPoILsMEN REBUFFED

Postmaster General Burleson and
his chief, with whom he is undoubt-
edly in full accord, merit popular
commentator for the attitude an.
nounced yesterday, says the Herald
Republican. They are to be congratu-
lated upon placing the public service
above the exigencies of party politics
and upon recognizing that the efficient
discharge of their official duties is of
greater Importance to the people gen
orally than the r%ewarding of political
servitors. The president has shown,
in Mr.. Burleson's announcement that
Republican ~postmasters viii be per
mitted to serve the terms for which
they were appointed, that he is not a
spokesman.
Mr.. Burleson's -nouneement will
be most painful to Democratic office
seekers, but should be no surprise. If
they believe their party chief, the
president, to be honest and truthful,
they could expect him to assume no
other attitude. Mr.. Wilson has re-
peatedly said that he considers eff
cheney to be the supreme test of fit
ness for office and that political aft
liation should not affect the legal
tenure of a qualified official. 1t is
evident that, despite the errors into
which lack of experience may precipi-
tate him, the president is honestly en-
deavoring to measure up to his own
high ideals.
Inc postmaster general S statement
is important because it indicates the
policy likely to be pursued in the 9th
err executive departments, for it is not
probable that one of the president S
lie~utenants would be permitted to in
%augurate a policy that another would
repudiate SO far as his own depart
ment is concerned. 1t is supremacy
discouraging to that section of the
Democracy that cares little about its
party's principles and a great deal
about the distribution OF patronage,
and it is significant notice, upon those
who believe the party exists merely
to provide jobs for them, that Mr..
Wilson holds an opposite view of the
functions Of political parties.
The president seems to believe that
the public service ought not to be dis
organized all over the country by
wholesale removal of capable officials
to make way for those whose only
recommendation is that they voted the
Democratic ticket and want to be re-
warded for it.
Admirers of the president have re-
peatedly said of him that he is not
a politician in the sense of regarding
the public service as of less import
ance than the feeding of party work
ers. The developments of yesterday
would indicate that their conception
of Mr.. Wilson's views is correct and
that he sees in his high position an

We, the grand jury, beg leave to
submit this, our report, to-wit:
We have been in session for days
and during this time we have examined
12l witnesses and returned by their
evidence AZ true bills, and voted for
ID no bills and referred bills.
We could have finished our work on

the following four causes: All of the
justices of the peace did not report
their felony cases to the circuit clerk
as they tried their cases, the grand
jury docket was not made up with the
cases styled hereon by the clerk, the
sheriff had not summoned all witnesses
in time to have them present on Mon
day, or the witnesses did not obey the
process of the court promptly. We

HOokwOrm Campaign Opens Shortly
in Holmes County.

Under the direction of the State
Board of Health we are here in this
county TO conduct a campaign in the
interest of public health and sanitation,
devoting considerable part of oul
time to the disease condition commonly
known as hookworm disease, making
examinations and giving treatment to
those suffering from this disease This
work is absolutely free to the people,
ali expenses being paid by the state
and county.
Hookworm disease is the most prev
alent disease in the South, and one of
the easiest to cure and to eradicate.
The infection is more widespread and
we come in contact with the infection
oftener. No age, race or sex is ex-
empt from this disease. This disease
alone is costing the state of Mississippi
thousands of dollars every year, besides
retarding our development of natural
resources and causing poverty and dis
appointment to exist instead of health,
wealth and prosperity. Some do not
believe in hookworm disease; if so
come out and get literature on the SUBJ
iect and see what is being done your
self and be convinced. Some think it
filthy, loathesome disease and that it
is a disgrace to have the disease. Is it
disgrace to be sick? Is it disgrace
to have typhoid fever or tuberculosis?
If not, then it is no disgrace to have
hookworm disease; and you are more
liable to have this disease than the
others mentioned.
The disease is caused by small par
asite which enters the body in one of
several ways, as by drinking surface
water, eating raw vegetables as let
tuse, onions, celery, strawberries and
such articles of food, or through the
skin (ground itch). The adult para
site lives in our intestinal track by
sucking our blood, thereby sapping as
of our strength and vitality; causing
many and often misleading symptoms.
The most noticeable of these in well
developed cases are, history of ground
itch in the past, sallow, pale, swarthy |
skin, lack of energy or loss of vitality, |
stunted in growth, often dull in their |
school work, indigestion, abnormal |
appetite, dizziness and in the last |
stage of the disease dropsy. These |
people feel badly, out of sorts, stupid |
and sluggish and know there is some
thing wrong with them but do not know
the real cause.
You may have a light case of infec-
tion, causing very little or no notice
able symptoms, and are found suffer
ing from this trouble on making
careful examination for this disease.
The examination is easy, simple and |
positive, made while you wait and will
be explained to any one interested.
The treatment is not dangerous, is
safe, sure and quick and is absolutely
free. More than 1000 cases were
treated in the state of Mississippi in
1912 without any bad results. We will

addresses on educational subjects, by
these state officials who are in touch

We have examined the books of the
various county officials and find then

tell. Also we have examined the
dockets of the various justices of the
peace and do not find that they have
promptly reported and taken their re-
eelpts for all fines imposed by them or
the first Monday of April and October
of each year as required by law. We
hope that no justice of the peace in the
future may be tardyEin this important
matter of paying into the county treas

by law should be paid. We find GER
tain justices of the peace have fined
certain parties in the sum of Sl.0O
each for gaming when the amount
could not have been by law less than
$5. 90 each. We suggest that such JUS
tice of the peace issue alias capias for
the arrest of such offenders and i'm.
pose the proper fine to be not less than
SIS. 90 in each case.
