TAX ON TIMBER IS UPHELD.
Test Case Settles Question in Su.
preme Court, Revenue Agent
Being Upheld in Views.

jackson, Miss June 14.-The
supreme court TODAY by a majority
decision, two to one decree. sus-
talned the state revenue agent in
his assessments directed against
lands holding large tracts of stand.
| ing timber, under the laws of 1912.
This case has been before the court
for some weeks past, that of R.
Darnell VS.. j. G Johnston, state
revenue agent, appealed from the
circuit court of Quitman County
When the assessments of timber
lands in Qultman County were sub
mltted to the board of supervisors
T Of that county some menths ago
they were rejected by that body,
and from that action the matter
was taken before Judge Alcorn in
the circuit court. The revenue
agent was represented in this mat
ter by Oscar &. Johnston, of Glaks.
dale and James R. Mcdowell of
Jackson, while Judge Tim E. Coop
er and st. John Waddell of Men,
phis represented the Darnell inter-
ests. After hearing the circuit
court held that the act of 1912 was
valid and within the constitution,
sustaining the principle involved
and incidentally holding that the
assessments should stand and should
be made official and effective by
the supervisors.
The case was handed down today
By Justice Cook. who read the ac-
companying opinion, holding with
counsel for the revenue agent that
the act does not come iD conflict
with section 112 of the state con-
stitution governing uniformity of
assessment and taxation. nor does
it vitiate, either directly or by i'm
plication, section 1921 of the code
of 1906, which is the general law
ge3ernlng land assessed at its in.
trinsic value.
CHIEF JUSTICE DISSENTS.
1t is a general proposition that
land must be assessed at Its true
economic value. and this value is
set by the worth and estimated
value of what it contains. In
fact, the act Of 1912 is in entire
harmony with section 1881, accord
ing to the study of the subject by
the court This being the case. it
was obvious that the circuit court
should be sustained. and 1t was so
ordered.
Chief Justice Smith entered dis
sent from his associate, giving
his reasons in a carefully drawn
and elaborate opinion.
Naturally Revenue Agent john
ston and his legal representatives
are gratified at the action of the
majority of the court, whose opin-
ion sustains their own contentious
throughout.

Hog Farming.

Hog farming is becoming one OF
the principal pursuits in the agri-
cultural districts of Mississippi,
and no wonder when such examples
as the following noted by the Rip
ley Sentinel is being obtained:
Thomas H Pierce, of West
Tippah, was selling a nice lot of
home raised meat in town last
Thursday. He sold 22 middlings
and 2l hams for $7l57 cash. He
has yet 21 shoulders for sale, and
the family has used more than a
hundred pounds of sausage and
more than a hundred pounds Of
lard, besides the backbones. ribs.
ETC., and all this came from one
litter of pigs. with the mother
thrown in
"Mr. Pierce says he bought that
Berkshire pig for six dollars, kept
her until she was about three years
old She brought him in all thirty
nine pigs. from which the family
of six was supplied with meat for
two years and $16l.50 worth sold,
and he has as yet for sale twenty
one shoulders. and also has four
nice gifts from which he proposes
to raise more in the future.
Now, if that record is not con-
elusive proof that there is good
money in raising hogs in this
county, then we would not under
take to prove a case Clarion

HUGH v. WALL, DISTRICT ATTORNEY
HAS A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

There is no more important Office
to be voted on, at the coming pri.
mary, August 8, than that of Dis.
trict Attorney and Hon. Hugh v.
Wall, who has held this office for
eight years past is capacitated
for service IN the same position, as
no other man could be with less ex-
perience and with no higher quali-
fcatlons than Mr. Wall possesses.
The people should know and re-
fleet upon the faithful service done
for them in the effort put forth
from time to time in which Mr..
Wall spared not himself, favoring
neither friend not foe in what he
deemed his duty to the State. He
never, in his eight years record,
"missed roll-call'. He was never
late nor dilatory The State
which means the people-never
called that he was rot there In
other words Mr. Wall delivered
the goods. -
When convinced of the right
eousness of cause he never for
sock it and lately in the case be-
fore the Supreme Court where one
word from him would have stopped
the wheels of justice, he stood by
his post with the result that Lin
coin County is the beneficiary of
about $27. 900. This case was cen
tested by good lawyers for four
years. Mr.. Wallis salary has really
cost the county nothing at Sll
when the sums he has saved it
are considered.
Honesty, ability and unceasing
energy are prerequisites to an eff
cient fulfilment of the duties of a
District Attorney. Mr. Wallis
purpose has been honest and with
fidelity has he honored the trust OF
the people He has made
no greater mistake than the people
have made themselves and in his
hands The Leader believes the office
is safe as protector and defender
against crime and wrong.

WANTS TO CUT DOWN
THE FEES or SHERIFFS

Jackson, Miss.-A bill to reduce
what he terms the excessive sums
being received by sheriffs and
chancery clerks will be introduced
at the next session of the legisla-
ture. by Hon Ed Franklin, of Sun
flower county, according to state
ment made by him last night.
1t will be, remembered that 10
1912 Mr.. Franklin introduced such
measure which was defeated.
However, he is not in the least dis
couraged and says that the people
of this State now realize the need
of such legislation
1t is not the plan of Mr. Frank
lin TO put these officials ON salary
basis, as he says the constitution
would prevent He does propose,
however. to arrange maximum Of
fees to be received i'm such man.
ner that the highest paid sheritfs
will not receive mere than SIS. 600
per annum.
Mr.. Franklin alsS proposes to
place the office of revenue agent on
a salary basis and inltbls connec-
tion declares that theN interests Of
the people demand thatSthe revenue
agent be taken off Of the fee basis
on which he is now operating.
Another measure Mr.. Franklin
intends to fight for is onel to pro-
vide that IN counties having county
attorneys he shall be the attorney
for the board of supervisors

last two days attending to business
