A subsidized, bought and paid Tor
Democratic press refuses to admit
the failure of. the Democratic tarin
law to produce enough government
revenue and hypocritfcally overlooKs
the actual demonstration of that fall
IRE months and months before the
European war broke out. which war
is assigned by 1T and the president
as the reason for the war tax In TINS

of the Democratic press not so bougnt

its readers that the Democratic farm
has proved itself complete failure,

nation of the Democratic imposition
OF war taxes. A part of the free ana
,,r.trammelled Democratic press goes
even farther than the Republican
press in declaring that the wilson

Reasons for the War Tax

The direct tax law known as the
var tax now places additional burden
upon the iactive business operations
of the people of the United States.
such Democratic newspapers as
place the well+bcing of the people
Of the nation above party victory and
rule have no hesitancy in condemning
the measure and denouncing the adj
1nfilistration for fofstfng this burden
upon the people and they l6iIce no
words in. declaring that the Demo
cratic tariff is the primary cause Of
this direct tax. The following on this
subject taken from the Cincinnati
Enquirer; a great Democratic news
paper, is we'll worth reading and con.
sider!ng as the actual facts are stated
therein and the reasons given Why a
Democratic Congress and a Demo
q ratio president had this direct tax
bill enacted INFO law;
"There seems to be n end OF these
efforts to make the energetic, the

expenditure; to make

The committee on local and
private legislation of the lower
house of the legislature made a
report Tuesday which will be of

flee of the trustees of The Frank

cute renewal leases on the ex-
piration, towit, August /. 1920.

Prison Board Chairman Con-
victed for Grating in
Auto Deal.
COURT lFFIRMS VERDICT
Associate Justice Declares That
No Reversible Error Could
Be Found.

Jackson, Miss. March O.
The Supreme court this morning
affirmed the verdict of the Hind;
county circuit court in the case
of c. C Smith, former chairman
of the penitentiary board of trus.
tees, convicted of grating.
Smith must serve a FIVE year
term in the penitentiary.
Chief Justice Sydney NJ. Smith
submitted dissenting opinion,
declaring that the record of the
trial is replete with reversible
error. He discusses the case at
considerable length, going fully
into many features of the testi-
mony.
Smith, who has been at liberty
under bond since shortly after
his conviction, was in the su-
preme court room, and heard his
fate pronounced by Associate
Justice Reed. Afterwards he
surrendered to the sheriff of
Kinds county. A suggestion of
error will be filed, and he will
not go to the penitentiary until
this is disposed of.
Justice Reeds opinion was
brief. He recited the history of
the trial and conviction of Smith,
and in conclusion declared that
the appellant had a fair trial,
and the court will not disturb the
verdict.
Smith was convicted at the
June term of the Kinds county
circuit court ana sentenced by
Judge Henry to serve a five year
term in the penitentiary for per-
petrating a fraud on the state in
an automobile transaction. In
1910 he purchased a Buick auto.
mobile from R. S. Withers, of
this city. 1t was a secondhand
ed car, and Smith paid $500 for
it. Two years later, in a trade
with a hardware concern at
Natchez, the same automobile
was sold to the prison board of
trustees, of which Smith was
then chairman, for 5000
1T is manifested to US that
the jury returned the only right
verdict, and we do not find in
the record any reversible error, +"
