TWO AMENDMENTS WILL
BE DECIDED.
Classified Property Tax Of Major
Importance.

Jackson, Miss, Oct 0.-Mississippi
voters will decide the fate of two pro-
posed amendments to the state con-
stitution, one providing that all
property be classified for taxation and
the other lowering the age limit for
candidates for governor to 81 years
when the election approving the Demo-
cratic nomination of the August pri-
mary ish eld November S.
The amendment known as the "Clas.
sifed property tax amendment" fost-
cred by joint committees of the house
and senate of the state legislature,
and supported by such progressive
and constructive stat3 senators as
w. M. Wilmington and ALT Stone, is
by far the most vital of the two and
it's failure to pass means a step back
ward in tax reform, it's sponsors point
out.
The amendment is the result Of two
years work on the part of the com
mittee appointed by the legislature of
1916. 1t has also been approved by
the National Tax Association, a non
partisan organization, as well the
progressive element in Mississippi.
The amendment proposes to classify
property and fix taxes for each class,
instead of assessing all property by
the same plan, as present method
does.
The amendment lowering the age of
candidates for governor is promoted
in favor of Speaker Sennett Conner's
candidacy. He is only 2S, while the
age limit now stands at 30. Mr.. Con-
ner is speaker of the house Of rep.
resentatives of the state legislature.
Strong opposition has developed
against the amendment, especially
among the newspapers of the state.

vision of wages in all shipyards of the
country to provide uniform national
rates for practically all the shipyard
trades, effective Immediately, was an,
nounced today by the, shipbuilding
labor adjustment board Two great
districts are created one for the Pa
cific coast and the other embracing
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and Great
Lakes. In the first, increases aver
age 20 per cent, in the second 1E per
cent, with the basis rates for the
principal skilled trades fixed at 80
cents per hour in both. This decision
will be reviewed every six months and
further increases granted if costs of
libving warrant.
The Pacific coast award is retroac-
tive to August l.. Under the two
awards in some instances there will
be differences of lew cents an hour
in favor of the Pacific coast, to off
set higher living costs there. In that
section half of the award already is
in effect, having been granted by en-
ployers in December, 1917, and con-
flrmed by the board last February, so
that the actual average increase in
the west at the present time is 10 per
cent. of the wages in effect October
1917.
Owing to diversity of conditions in
various parts of the country it was
not found advisable to establish
nationally uniform scale for laborers,
rates for them having been fixed on
three basis:
The Pacific coast, the north Atlantic
and Lakes, and the south Atlantic and
Gulf
No changes in existing piecework
rates are to be made until after con-
ference between representative Of the
shipyards and tn piecework crafts to
be held here this week. Further ex-
tension of the premium, bonus and
contract systems in effect in some
yards is prohibited, unless authorized
by the board.
The decisions directly affect 100000
shipyard workers and the board be-
lieved they will have an indirect bear
ing on the wages of other workers in
all parts of the country.
Rates above $5.25 per day were in
creased an average of Is per cent. in
the east and 20 per cent. in the west.
while below that figure The men were
granted as much as seemed required
by strict application of the cost of
living statistics reported by the de-
partment of labor.
Arrangements have been made with
the labor department to continue the
gatheping of such statistics, so that the
board may review its awrds every six
months. On the first of April and
first of October each year, increases
will be garnted if a aise of 10 per
cent. in the cost of living is reported
for the period since the last review.
Creation of shop communities to
handle grieviences between the
various crafts and shipyard manage
ments is provided in the decision and
shipyard owners not parties to joint
agreements with their men are di-
rected to cooperate with their en-
ployees in putting this phase Of the
decision into effect.
This decision by the shipbuilding |
abor adjustment board is part of a |
new governmental policy towards |
abor recommended by the war labor
policies board and agreed to by all the |
departments employing
abor directly.
