The revenue agent filed his back tax
claim with the board of supervisors of
Yalobusha county and the city council
OF Water Valley. Those two bodies
met in joint session, heard elaborate
arguments by opposing council, and
the board of supervisors finally cut
the assessment down to $500 900 per
year for period OF six years. or a
total of $1,S00,00O, on which state and
county taxes would amount to about
$4,000.
Much to the astonishment of the at

COAL RATES SUSPENDED.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. "a protest by
the Mississippi railroad commission to
the Interstate Commerce Comm.s on
at Washington against proposed ad
vanced rates on coal from points in
Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Illinois to points in Mississippi, going
into effect, has resulted in the sus-
pension of the rates by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The rates
will remain suspended pending a full
hearing in New Orleans and Birming-
ham some time in the near future.
These facts became known today.
and it was learned that the Interstate 9
Commerce Commission has promised
to notify the Mississippi Railroad
Commission of the dates of the hear
ings, so If the members desire to
participate they can do so.
1t is said here that the advanced
rates. allowed by the interstate CON-
merce commission would have result
ed in an increase OF coal rates to the
amount Of Is cents to ton to junction
points, where most of the coal con
sumed is shipped
The commission here has been in
formed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission that no decision or order
has been made as to the Birmingham-
Meridian rate on coal, or any other
of the suspended rates, and that none
viii be made until after full hearing.
When the Mississippi railroad com
mission heard that coal rates were to
be advanced members filed an immed'
ate telegraphic protest to the Inter
state Commerce Commission, following
it UP with letter. The commission
understood that the carriers were or
dered to readjust their rites to con-
form to the long anG short haul clause
Of tho interstate commerce law, "but
we do not believe that it was your in
tenticn to permit them to secure a ma
terial increase in revenue by the read |
which would certainly re.
suit form the establishment of the
Froposed rates." to quote from one OF |
the communications CT protest.
The commission claims that the
rates to every junction point, and n |
large majority of the local points, i
would have been advanced under the
-rder issued. and which was suspend !
ID, and the commissioners state their i
cel'ef that an investigation would |
show that the points to which tha |
rates have been advanced consume
many times as much coal as do those |
to which the rates have been reduced. |
The commission took the position that
The present rates are remunerative.
and as high as those in other states,
and no increase was justified.
