Play Dixie.

Editor the Missourian: Where is
our Dixie? We have had two mass
meetings this year, and "Dixie" was
conspicuous by its absence at each
one.
When 1 came up here last year, as q
big greenhorn without much Missouri
spirit to speak of, and the band struck
up "Dixie" at my first mass meeting,
l rose right up on my hind legs and
howled with the Old Guard for the
rest of the season. 1t shot Missouri
spirit into me like hypodermic nee
die shoots vaccine into the freshmen
this year. There's nothing like it to
get up enthusiasm and pep at a meet
ing.
According to my way Of thinking, it
isn't because "Dixie" was the battle
song of the Southern army that ev-
erybody stands up when it is played
and gets ready to yell. 1t isn't so
much that as it is that it is part Of a
custom which we want to keep up
(that of beating Kansas). I say let's
have it at every mass meeting here
after. Then the Tigers will run so
fast down the football field the other
fellows will think somebody is throw
ing forward pass which it is use
less to try to intercept. Then we will
wipe up the earth! S.

PAY.UP WEEK

Miranda, where's my hat and coat
I want to go to town and pay my
bills"
That's what you'll hear when Pay
Up Week becomes a national festival.
Festival is right Wouldn't you call
it festival if
You were an editor and could sit
in your sanctum and watch all your
subscribers come in and pay up a
year in advance, or
You were a merchant and all your
customers came in and paid their ac-
counts in full, or
You were preacher and your SAL
ary were paid and the collection plate
full, or
You were a real estate man and all
your patrons would pay their COM
missions without complaint, or
You were struggling young author
and the magazines would send nice
fat checks for all the stories you sent
out for rejection.
L. w. Moore, editor of the Border
Telephone, of Hume, Mo-. promulgated
the idea, and it proved SO successful
there that now it is being talked about
and written about and is spreading like
an epidemic. Looks like national
Pay-Up Week next year.
Even If everybody doesn't pay all
that he owes for anything to anybody,
it will be worth while to get them in
a pay-up mood and give the dead
beats sort of guilty feeling II they
don't fall in line, according to .he
father of the Pay-Up Week move
ment He ought to know, having trice
it first
Guess well get box ready for the
food of dollars that Pay-Up Week
will bring. Come on.

MAYOR SIGNS ORDINANCE
To FACILITATE EXAMINATIONS

To conform with the State law au-
;horizirC examiners OF records and
commissioners OF the revenue to list
for taxation omitted taxable values Of
previous years the Finance Committee
OF the Council 4, the suGG eStion OF the
city Attorney, about month ago
recommended to the City Council an
ordinance amending the City code so
as TO remove the fvc-year limit IN
assessments and authorizing the tax
irE officers to 90 back as far as they
like in their disclosures OF back taXes
due.
This ordinance passed both branches
OF Council, and was yesterday signed by
Mayor AirSlie. The ordinance was first
inspired by difficulties encountered by
Major William H. Sands, Examiner Of
Records for this district when he was
effecting a settlement with tho John T.
Branch estate of back taxes due The
examiner found that section -. chapter
II, OF the Richmond city code forbade
him 10 take cocniZance OF omitted taxes
on real estate further back than five
years. The matter was called to the
attention of City Attorney Pollard
who ;hcreupon instructed the Finance
Committee as 10 this obstacle in the
way OF the taxing officers The Code pro-

TO WITHDRAW. IE LEGAL


p. Minor. chairman OF the richmond
Board of Review. reads as follows
The local Board Of Review OF the
city OF Richmond is in perfect accord
with the State Advisory Board In it's
desire to have all taxing districts Of
the State treated with uniformity in
the matter of reporting omitted as
sessments for previous years and is
perfectly willing to withdraw its re-
ports already made and 20 postpone
the reporting of delinqucnts for pre-
vious years until after the meeting OF
the next General Assembly. provided it
has legal authority TO do SO.
we agree fully with the Advisory
Board that under the law the taxing
oihcers have the power and right to
assess omitted property back to 1876,
and that neither the Advisory Board
nor the local Board OF Review have
power or legal right to say how far
back taxing officers should go.
whether even the Legislature has au-
thority to forbid these officers to re-
port the results of investigations
heretofore made by them is. in our
opinion. very doubtful
