Our Jackson Letter

Jackson, Miss, March 28.-
The legislature is shaping every
thing now with the view of an
early adjournment. The rev.
enue question is still the para
mount issue, but so far the Ways
and Means committee has not
yet shown us how to get through
in providing the state with funds
for the next two years. 1t is
either a raise in the tax levy, a
bond issue, a deficit. Which
would the people of the state
prefer? In my opinion. any man
who would give the matter a Sc
rious thought would prefer to
raise the levy one mill rather
than issue bonds or have a de-
felt. With the present valua-
ton and the tax levy at six mills
we cannot finance the state with
out a bond issue or a deficit. A
bond issue for current expenses
would not be in keeping with
correct business principles. The
appropriations have been trimmed
to the limit, there being only two
increases over the past two
years. One of these was for
$4,000 to the old soldiers for
1916 and $4,000 for the public
schools for the years 1867.
Neither of these bills have yet
been signed by the governor, and
may not be.
Now, let's look at the matter
of a one mill raise. One mill on
our present levy would bring IN
to the treasury $3.50, 1000 on the
present valuation of the property
of the state, or approximately
that amount. Let's see what
this levy would mean to the in
dividual. 1t would raise the tax
to each person only two cents.
If there was man and his wife
in the family the additional cost
would be four cents, but as fam
lilies are estimated to have five
members, at two cents per head
this increase of one mill would
mean an additional tax on fam
lily of five of ten cents. This
brings the matter before us in
practical shape, and in my opin-
ion the average man would not
object to the raise. In our per-
sonal expenditures this insight
ficant sum Of two cents is not
taken into consideration. We
all indulge ourselves in much
greater amounts in frivolous ex-
penditures, and in dealing with
the state we should accord that
much to help the government
along without feeling that we
have been burdened unjustJy
with taxation.
On the other hand, to issue
The Tupelo journal., 1916-03-31

big bond issue for permanent
public Improvements came back
to the legislature in new form
this morning when Senator Esk-
ridge, chairman of the finance
committee, introduced by request
a big batch of bills carrying the
appropriations suggested by the
governor in his inaugural adj
dress.
The House committee on ways
and means rejected the COVER
nor's bond issue budget several
days ago, and it is now the pur-
pose of the executive department
to wage a stiff fight in the senate
for consideration of these meas
ures.
1t is stated on apparently
good authority that unless the
legislature takes favorable action
on these measures before adj
journment that a special session
will be called within 80 days af-
ter the regular session adjourns.
THE series of bills introduced
by Senator Eskridge this morn
ing were framed in the governors
office and the appropriations pro-
posed therein are as follows:
To pay the bond issue matur-
ing in July, 1916, 100000.
ITO buy site and erect build
ings for state tuberculosis hos
pital, $4,000.
ITO purchase additional farm.
ing lands for the penitentiary,
S125,OOO.
TO erect new dormitory at
the state normal college, $780,
ITO erect new dormitory at the
University of Mississippi, $780,.
900.
ITO erect a state charity hos
pital in South Mississippi, $685.
900.
ITO erect a state charity hos
pital in North Mississippi, $25,
600.
ITO build annex to hospital at
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege, $4,000.
ITO erect an annex to the state
charity hospital in Jackson, $685.
600.
TO erect an annex to the In
stitute for the blind in Jackson.
SIS, 600,
To erect an annex to the "A
& M. College at StarkvilIe and
complete dormitory, $40, 900.
To erect an annex to the Mis-
sissippi Insane Hospital in jack
son, SIS, 900.
ITO buy lands and equip build
ing for the Mississippi Industrial
and Training School, S25. 900.
The appropriation for the re-
pair and preservation Of the old
capitol is not included in the gov
ernor's budget, a bill for this
purpose having been introduced
by DR.. Kendrick, and was given
a preliminary hearing before the
finance committee tonight.
| do not believe the above bond
issue will be voted, and should
an extra session be called by the
governor a bond issue to cover
the above items would again fail.
The Tupelo journal., 1916-03-31

bonds means the carrying of a
debt with interest which should
have been met when it was
made. 1t is very easy to float
these bonds as we find it is easy
to feat our own paper, but call
ing them in and paying them is
another proposition. Bonds
should be issued only for perma-
nent, necessary and substantial
improvements, and not to meet
current expenses. The state of
Tennessee since the war has is-
sued $12,00O,OOO in bonds and
has paid off 100000 of these
bonds. Mississippi has been a
little more cautious and therefore
is not burdened with a great
debt.
The bill which seeks to create
a board of equalization has passed
the senate and will go to the
governor for his approval or veto
as he determines. This bill, if
its provisions can be put into
practical effect, will equalize the
taxes and place the burden justly
and fairly upon all alike. When
this is done our tax rate can be
lowered.
The house on Friday last passed
the Franklin bill which seeks to
place county officers on salary
basis. 1t is a rather crude af-
fair, but as it does not go into
effect until the first Monday
in January, 1920, it is to be hoped
that at the session two years
from now it may be amended so
as to bring about the desired
change. We believe that a ma
jority of the people want to see
officers put on a salary because
the opinion has grown that most
Of the officers are getting too
much for their time and service.
A few Offices in the state possibly
pay too much, but extraordinary
conditions exist in these in
stances. Any man who has ever
served in an Office from justice
of the peace up knows that Offices
do not pay what the public thinks
they pay. You cannot collect the
fees that the law says you shall
have. The people simply will
not pay them and you can't make
them pay it. Under the present
system it is the man who goes
into court or is brought into
court through some infraction of
the law that pays the cost of run
ming the county offices. Only a
few officers get their pay out of
commissions paid by the county
and the way to cut down exorbi.
tant receipts would be by limit
ing or cutting down the commis-
sions that are now paid. Did
you ever see man come out of
one of these offices rich? The
public demand and always get a
full share of the receipts of the
public office and if the incumbent
refuses to meet this public de-
mand he will go out of Office at
the next election. IF you do not
believe this get in an office and
try it,
