mucation from Mother protesting against the promis
occupation in the moving picture theatres
of Hattiesburg OF negro nursemads who attend the
foances presumably accompany the children in their
charge The protest in question reasonable one and
if the managers of the two local houses care for
the feelings the comfort and the convenience their
white patrons than to allow these maids to riot in
houses then it about time for the city authorities
to step in.
It is perfectly all right for the moving picture
gers admit negro girls their shows when they appear
there guardians Of white children But it is unfair
the rest Of the spectators allow these girls
themselves wheresoever they like.

HAS MONEY cAsTE9

Figures compiled by the Secretary the Treasury re-
veal the fact that than onealf Of the income tax
Imposed by the is paid by four staes-New
York Pennsylvania Illinois and Massachusetts, In this
connection the Philadelphia Evening Telegram remarks
that there is much comment and criticism OF
what is called the class character this tax This
then goes on to say:
"The total amount of revenue last year from the in
tax $124s67429 and Of this the four states of
New York Pennsylvania, Illinois and Massachusetts TO-
getheT paid $S5O00000 in round figures though the actual
sum appears to have been little above that amount
Pennsylyanias share this was $1S1O2434 of which

year by $3,7347SS,
Waiye states Alabama, Mississippi Arkansas Flor
ida, Georgia. Kentucky Louisiana North Carolina South
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia -a to-

which was from corporations fact the total amount
Of individual income tax paid those twelve states was
but against $6312 204 Pennsylvania alone
Many Of the western states however produced but little
more revenue in proportion"
We must confess our most penighted and obfuscated
stupidity regards what the Evening Telegraph calls
the class character Of the income tax Is there differ
ence moral On monetary except in amount between the
income tax paid by resident Of Pennsylvania one
Mississippi? Is there any class to the dollar that
resident Of the keystone State pays on his Income than
there Is to the dollar derived from the Income Of ssis

takes from resident Of either the twelve states men

thereafter must be borne by the states

Rules and reguls sions to put the fed
eral aid law as it is popularly known,
into prompt operation are now being
drafted by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, upon whom devolves practically
the entire work of supervising the
| government expenditures. Immediate
supervision will be by the office of
public roads and rural engineering, of
which Logan Waller Page is director.
A conference of highway represen-
tatiyes of all states, and, possibly, of
organizations interested in the good
roads movement, engineering experts
and others to discuss measures for
promulgating the new law is planned
soon by Secretary Houston.
Apportionment among the several
states of the $5,OO0,000 for the first
years work will soon be announced
by Postmaster General Burleson, who
is required to annually certify appor-
tionments because of changes in rural
post route mileages and population.
The allotments Of the federal appro.
priations will be made by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, one-third being
based on the ratio which the popula-
tion of each state bears to the total
United States population. according
to the latest census, one-third in the
ratio which the mileage of rural post
roads in each state bears to the total
national mileage, and one-third in the
ratio which the area of each state
bears to the total area.

less three per cent for administrative
expenses with those of other years in
