Address to Tax Payers.
To TAX PAYERS OF MISSISSIPPI:

To TAX PAYERS OF MISSISSIPPI:
The State Tax Commission, Gre
ated by the Legislature of 1916, has
been duly organized and in enter
ing upon its responsible duties ear
nestly solicits the cooperation of
every good citizen in its efforts
to make it's work effective to the
end sought in the creation Of this
body, which end, as we all know,
was primarily to correct tie gross
inequalities prevailing in the tax
system of our State and to procure
fairer and mole equitable adjust
ment of the expense of government.
The object of the Commission is
not to increase taxes, but to reduce
them; which we feel sure can be
accomplished when all property is
required to bear its just share of
the tax burden. Because this con-
dition does not prevail today, the
tax levy is higher than it should
be, and the property fairly assessed
must make good the deficit created
by that which is inadequately val
ued or not listed for taxation at
all.
Leaving out of consideration, en-
tirely, the ethical considerations Of
justice and equity, which we be-
lieve animate the thinking and do
ing of the vast majority of men,
direct seltinterest should prompt

recting the inequalities in our
whole tax system, which, like all
other abuses, grow greater from
year to year, as time advances, and
unless corrected, their cumulative
consequences must be disastrous to
every interest. The State simply
cannot afford to be unjust and un-
fair in the exercise of the taxing
power, which is it's highest prero-
gative; every citizen should be
made to feel that he is treated ex-
actly like every other citizen in
this respect, and is bearing his just
pro rata, neither more not less, of
the cost of government. When
this confidence in the justice of our
common Mother is once established,
as it will pe the purpose of this
Commission to establish it, we be-
lieve that Tax x-dodging" will be
come the exception, instead Of the
rule, and new ethical view will
prevail in relation to a practice
which is, today, not only condoned
by public opinion, but openly
avowed and justified by those pur
suing it as necessary measure Of
self protection. Ethics has no
place in tax paying; the inequities
and inequalities of cur syetem hasf
driven if out. No standard of fairYd
ness or justice prevails to command
the observance of men in filing oo4
assessment lists; each feels that lpef
neighbor is withholding all thas w3
can from the tax gatherer, and III
Justice to himself, he must do the
same thing; and so, by common
consent, no reproach attaches to
this line of conduct, which, if
practlced, in private affairs, would
quickly bring men into such an in
tolerable disrepute that they would
want to move away.
This condition, we will all agree,
needs correction, md that is the
object Of this Cor mission; for the
attainment of which the earnest
cooperation of every tairmlnded
citizen is earnestly solicited.
Yours for justice,

THEODORE LORCH
 IN DRAMA 'TODAY''

Was Frederick Wagner justified in killing his wife, Lily? Could any wom- an bring her husband to a position where he would be justified in choking the life out of her? Is the humiliation and disgrace that a wife can bring upon a husband ample grounds for such a drastic course? See Today" the new play to be produced by The Lorch Company at the Elks tonight and all week and chen answer the questions.
 Should Wagner have strangled his wifee or could the authors have found another solution?
 No matter what the outcome of your deductions you will agree that Today is the most sensationaily dramatic of fering ever staged in Phoenix It is a vital and vivid drama of New York life as it is today and teaches a wonderful lesson.in a bold and fearless manner.
 The play shows the extreme vanity weakness and lack of character of cer- tain types of women and is a produc- ton that every one interested in a home should see It handles a big sub ject and handles it forcefully and in- telligently. It was a positive sensation on Broadway for more than one solid year and on the road was the biggest hit of the season. As there are so few road companies this season. it will be seen in Phoenix only through the medium of The Lorch Stock Company and as Mir. Lorch was in New York at the time the play was first produced there he had a chance to study it at first hand and assures d production in every way equal to the one in New York.
 Today is the biggest thing yet at tempted hy The Lorch Company and will give the patrons an opportunity to see what they can do with a really heavy drama.
