CAR OWNERS MAKE KICK
Protest Against Payment of Special
Privilege Tax is Unjust and
Double Taxation.

The auto owners of the county
are not taking kindly to the special
privilege tax assessed against them
which amounts at a minimum ia
$7.28 each on up to every one OF
the 76 car owners in Lincoln. Most
of them are paying the tax under
protest. The owners look at the
new law as unfair, a sort of class
legislation, burdening them with
an additional and special tax when
they are already paying the same
amount of levy on their cars, dollar
for dollar for State and county
purposes as does everyone else On
his personal property. They think
it unfair that they should be
singled out and made to pay a
double tax just because they own q
car and reason it seems to The
Leader justly somewhat as follows:
If one man owns a $50 horse and
another man a horse worth 5000
should the man with the 5000 ami
NAL be made to pay SIS or $40
more tax just because he has q
fine animal after paying his taxes
dollar for dollar on tine respective
worth of the two animals2
And then again the. motor vrhi-
Gle owners reason that there would
be just as much right to make a
man who dressed better than some
of his fellows. pay special privil-
eIge for so doing as there is in the
tax now assessed against them after
both the fellow who wears good
clothes and the one who does not
pay their legitimate taxes dollar
for dollar.
One car driver was heard to say
Now wouldn't there howl go uI
if the big lumber wagons run over
the roads were made to pay Sl2. SO
each in addition to the regular
taxes on their worth? And one Of
these same lumber wagons will
tear up more road than 80 ears
would do. I'm going to pay tie
tax because have TO. but it ii
unjust and unfair.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1914-06-03

The reason of the decrease in the
amount paid jurors at this term is
that while the May 1912 Term ran
for four weeks. Judge Holden dis
posed of his docket in less than
three weeks: to be exact, in fifteen
days of actual court.
In reply to your questions,
specifically. ! desire to say to you.
frankly. that Judge Holden is, in
my opinion, born lawyer and a
Judge. and thoroughly competent
and efficient in every sense of the
word
He is possessed of that happy
faculty in a judge which enables
him to dispose of his docket speed
lily. anc with as near approach to
absolute justice as have ever
Fseen administered in a court room.
Judge Holden came to Copiah
county unknown. practically. save
to few members Of the bar, but
from the day his court convened
every man who entered the court
room. be he lawyer, witness. liti-
CANT or bystander. and regardless
of political affiIiation. left that
room with a warm admiration for
his ability in handling a court and
disposing Of a docket with absolute
fairness and impartiality.
Yours respectfully,
M S. MCNEIL.

MERCHANT KILLED BY ROBBERS.
Lee Davis Shot Down on Own Porch
at Sand HiII-DOgs on Trail.

Jackson, Miss, May 30.-BIood-
hounds were sent from the Rankin
convict farm this morning to be
put on the trail of the robbers who
assassinated Lee Davis, postmaster
and merchant at Sand Hill, in the
northern part of Rankin county.
Last night about nine o'clock
Davis stepped out on the front
gallery of his residence. about $50
yards from the store thinking that
he had heard a noise. A moment
later he fell dead with nine buck
shot through his body.
Neighbors who reached the scene
an hour later found the dead body
Of Davis, and an investigation
showed that the store had been
burglarized.
The gun was fired from close
range. evidently by a robber who
was keeping watch on the house
while confederates robbed the
store.

|HOLDEN'S COP|AH RECORD
Pertinent Questions Asked and An.
swered Facts and Figures
by m. S. Mcneil.

Brookhaven, MISS, May 25, 1914.
Hon. M. S. Mcneil, HazIehurst,
Miss.
Dear SIr:-Recognizing the fact
that you are an experienced lawyer
Of ability, having served as district
attorney and practiced under sever
al judges, we are persuaded to
write you with reference to Judge
Holden, who has just completed
his first term of court in Copiah
county.
The election of judges is some
thing new in the State of Mississ-
ippi, and, as we regard the judi
ciary very important branch OF
our government. we think the
people should be fully advised as to
the fitness of the men they choose
for these responsible positions
So far as Judge Holden is concern
ed, we know nothing Of his quail
fications. and since the June term
OF court at Brookhaven will be
postponed. so we are informed, the
people of Lincoln county will have
no opportunity to observe his Off
cial conduct before the election.
For that reason, We are taking the
liberty of writing you regarding
his qualifications. etc., and will
thank you to answer the following
questions:
Is Judge Holden man of judi
cial temperament?
Do you regard him as a compe-
tent circuit Judge?
Is he honest IN the performance
of official duty7
Can he be influenced under any
circumstances from dealing fairly
and squarely between litigants?
Does he expedite the business of
the court?
Do you regard him as one who
will do his full duty in the enforce
ment of the criminal law?
Can you rely upon him to do his
duty in every instance?
How do the people of your county
like him as a Judge?
We will appreciate it very much
if you will let US have this infor-
nation at your earliest convenience,
and In giving your answers. we
would like to have you set forth
your reasons in each instance.
Again thanking you. we remain,
Very truly yours,
